Questions About InvisibleShield - HTC EVO 3D

I just had someone at Radio Shack install an InvisibleShield for me and there are little water spots on the screen (under the protector). Will these go away with time? I also wanted to know if its safe to use my phone while the water is going away and everything is clearing up. One last question, is it ok to put my phone back in my Otterbox Defender case or will that interfere with anything? (I took off the screen protector that comes with the case)

the spots go away with time.. and your all set to put your phone back in the case

The water spots should go away, depending on how big they are. My motto is: If you're paying $15-20 for a screen protector, put it on yourself and make sure it is right. Your phone should be fine to go back in it's case, just try to determine if the edges of the case rub up against the edges of the screen protector. If it does, you may experience some "fraying" at the edge of the screen protector from it rubbing on the slight movement of the case.
Edit: I have always used my devices after applying these protectors and have never experienced any illeffects.

They will go away will look nice to as long as no dust or lint was on the glass at the time.

Just a little update: only about 13 hours has passed so far and some of the water has already evaporated! There are still small amounts scattered throughout the screen but I believe that they will also go away.

I always put my phone under a desk lamp with the old style light bulbs that get hot 60 watts....about 30 minutes later all water gone no spots. Not sure if its bad to do but I've done it to a dozen or so phones no problems yet.

Cut them if that is the case, lol. BS! I never used screen protectors on any device I have owned. Even dropping them doesn't really scratch the screen. I showed people on my X1 and X2 both that even a key lightly pressed won't. This phone may not have Corning gorilla glass, but it still GLASS! Lol you don't cut threw car windows with finger nails.

Its impossible that u scratched it with ur nail.... its just doesn't happen that way...
but one way to scratch is to put some sands on it and rub it...
one its all done ur screen will probably be screwed...
I don't know what else to tell you laugh all you want but I have 5 on my screen. I did email the company and they told me to email HTC, HTC said they don't warranty screen damage cause by outside factors....blah blah trust me I did the deep one wobble my fingernail play fruit ninja so I know what I am talking about. The one at the bottom is not as deep but it the length of the screen that I normally pull my the lock ring. I don't even have fingernails really so i don't get it, I have seen videos of people taking a knife to a screen and keys. I was in a thread about this in Thunderbolt forum so other people have seen his before. Not every screen made equal.

Maybe so. But, all screens are made from glass and no matter how long (or how hard for that matter) the nails are growing from your fingers it is virtually impossible for them to scratch the glass of your phone's screen. For your fingernails to be capable of scratching the screen they would then have to be harder than the glass used to make the screen. So, if your fingernails are that hard then you should be able to also scratch the glass in the windows of you home or the glass mirror in your bathroom. Give those two a shot and let us know how it turns out. If you are indeed successful; then call Guinness World Records and Ripley's.

Feel free to come check it out if you are ever in Arizona I would not make this up I had the first Droid Incredible and never used screen protector on that one and now its my daughter play phone and it is still scratch free and i used that for well over a year and my daughter had it for last 6 months. I was very disappointed with my Thunderbolt's screen.

Seeing it wouldn't prove anything! If you ever come to Michigan come see my phone, I scratched it with my skin (from my friends car door actually)! are your hands always bleeding? It seems with nails like that you would be cutting your hands up a lot!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
do you have long nails? fingernails don't work on a capasitive touchscreen, so there isn't any reason to touch the screen with your nails....
You guys act like I am the only one who has complained about the thunderbolt screen. It's a cheap screen way cheaper than my Droid incredible. And my fingernails are normal size children.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Wait, wait, wait... You have normal sized children for fingernails?
LOL
In reality, you are probably another one of those people walking around with your naked phone in your pocket. Some keys in the same pocket, or a fall scratched it, and you didn't notice until flailing at your screen with your normal sized children for nails playing Fruit Ninja.

Funny stuff...
I have one slight scratch on my Inc. Hardly noticeable, but I notice it. First noticed it after coming back from Florida. Damn beautiful white sand beaches!!!!
Note to self (and y'all)... screen protectors are a must when going to the beach.

Will definitely buy some cheap protectors for my soon-to-be-mine Rezound!
What about toe nails? I wanna make sure before I get this phone....

Dropped my phone

Was getting out of the car today and had my phone sitting in my lap and it fell to the ground and landed on the bottom left corner and proceeded to tumble across the parking lot all the while managing to dodge some puddle of who knows what. I picked it up and to my amazement just a scratch on the outer corner no cracked screen. I am amazed at how sturdy this phone seems to be. That fall would have shattered my old iPhones screen. I love this freaking phone!

Yup, most of the drops that I've had are just minor nicks on the corner but thats about it! I can't even take a picture of it because you don't notice it until you get really close to it...
I would assume it has to do with the fact that the phone is so light

I had that case. It's alright... The rubber bumpers started wearing off from rubbing my jeans. Since then I've switched to the otterbox and never looked back.
Honestly I only ever used the kickstand once - when playing with the new case for the first time.

Mine fell about 5 feet onto a tile floor day after I put my Taurus bumper on. Not a scratch on the phone or bumper.
When I first got my i777, I was so scared to even touch it, it was my first nice phone other than a Palm Pre, but this is a super phone. Saw very little use until screen protector and case arrived.
It's my baby.
I did something similar fell onto parking lot bounced and hit the under carriage of my car then back to the ground again. No case or screen protector or anything. Lucky and the phone is indeed durable. It got a few scratches along the outer edges and corners but everything still works and the screen still looks great. Almost couldn't believe the screen didn't crack

Mine dropped while I was trying to put it in my pocket, the corner hit the ground then the screen. I expected the screen would have a lot of scratch but when I picked it up, the outer edge corner damaged and the screen have a very little scratch near the Samsung Logo. Never thought it only has those damage while my old captivate scratch by putting it with a business card in my pocket. I sold my S2 to my brother for 300 and get the international one but still miss the ATT S2. It was the best phone I've ever had, It has nothing that I could complain about. Will get another one next week because the International never gave me the same experience the ATT version did.
I will use my phone without a case. This thing has passed the thoughness test. It has fallen so many times I lost count.
It has a few scratches but the screen is in perfect condition even though it has fallen screen first a few times

Hey FilthyGoat I take my case off, remove battery and lightly air blow, wipe the edges there is always a little layer of dust there.
I do that ever couple weeks so it does not accumulate. I also use a LCD screen cleaner, no house hold cleaners on the screen.

Indeed, thing is, filthy goats have a very hard time keeping anything clean
I go try hard some times and completely give the phone a wipe down but the screen becomes smudged very quick ... Maybe cuz I'm filthy? Who knows
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
mine too, smudges happen very quick, doesen't take much in terms of greasy fingers. I have a couple eyeglass cloths around my desk at work and I give it a spray with the eyeglass solution and just wipe it down. Also, I change the screen protector every few months, and go through a few tpu cases a year. Mine still looks as new as the day I bought it.
the kinda of case and screen protector i'm using don't really leave smudges... the most ill have to worry about is dust gathering around the corners of the screen where the protector is.. but i just blow it off dust and wipe it whenever it looks dirty
Is eye glass cleaner harmful to the glass display?

i go naked!
I originally had a ballistic case for my phone but hate how bulky it was, and the phone is a heavy beast as it is. I really don't like screen protectors either, they either smudge too much, or distort the clarity of the screen. So I'm going totally naked now which can be a delicate operation, so I take the following steps to keep my phone clean.
1. Don't drop it. Duh. Most of the time dropping a phone without a case isn't the end of the world though, and I could live with a ding in the corner should it happen, better than living in fear and having a frumpy-ass case wrapped around it the other 99.9% of the time that I don't have poor coordination...
2. Never set the phone down on a hard surface unless very gently, this prevents scratching. If I do set my phone down I put my wallet under it, but most of the time my phone is either in my hand or in my front pocket.
3. Dedicate one pocket to you phone (you can carry your wallet there too it it's soft), and NOT your back pocket. I'm a lightweight guy and I shattered the screen on my Atrix by sitting on it when getting into my car, turned out it wasn't as strong as my iPhone's 3GS screen was, so I don't do this anymore. Sounds stupid but I've knowingly sat on my phone thousands of times without it ever breaking... I just really like my phone in my back pocket. So now I keep my phone in my front right pocket with the screen facing my leg; keys and spare change go in left pocket.
4. Carry a microfiber pouch on you--I use this to clean the screen and to clean my sunglasses, and I store my sunglasses in it when stowing them away. Most cheap-o sunglasses stores around here will sell you one for 2 or 3 dollars, the nice ones feel like micro-suede...
5. Keep your hands & ears clean, I won't detail how to clean you ears and trim your nails but you get the idea :laugh:
Dead skin and pocket debris are the main things to get stuck in the speaker grills so if you're super anal you could keep your phone in a soft case with a drawstring before putting it in your pocket but that's kinda dorky, at the end of the day it's just a phone and you're probably gonna replace it with a better one in due time anyways so I say go naked and enjoy...

Optimus G = UNBREAKABLE

So to say the least I have beaten this phone pretty hard.. Dropped it more times than any other phone and no cracks just dings but what happened today takes the prize...
So i was in the shower with the phone on the sink counter and my alarm started going off, I heard it going off for maybe a straight minute and then all I heard was bam bam PLUNK. the damn thing vibrated itself off the counter bounced off the toilet paper roll straight into the toilet... Completely emerge the phone was still on, alarm was still going, and everything still works!! (after taking it apart and letting a fan blow on it for a bit)
Never had this happen before but it seems I got lucky!

Agree with the others here. The phone is just too damn slick to put a case on, for me at least. I love a naked phone and will take the chance. However I try to be extremely concious and careful when taking it in and out of my pocket. If its not in there then its on my desk nice and flat nowhere near an edge lol.
I'm not gonna push my luck though. Glass back and glass front? I feel like if it hit the ground in any way shape or form its gonna break. Super slick phone but super delicate. However I wouldnt have it any other way.

I don't consider this good advice. My phone slipped out of my jacket pocket as I was taking it off and it hit the ground with a bottom corner which sent an arched crack up the bottom portion of my phone in the glass. It's not shattered or falling out of the phone, but it's still fragile.

[Q] Setting Button inoperable

My settings button no longer works, no matter where I am in my phone or what app I'm using. I'm not rooted, yet.
I did search and couldn't much on this issue, it might be human error, but am looking for some input.
I ordered a new screen protector, recommended from another member, and directions say to use "soapy" water to install it. I ordered two of these for dirt cheap (I know I know, you get what you pay for), and tried the 1st one with no water. Looked like crap. #2 I used very minimal water, maybe 5 drops, with a towel near the edges of the screen to absorb excess as i squeegeed it out, keeping it away from the what I thought were sensitive areas like the speaker. Honestly, not much water was used, even so that not much got absorbed when I squeegeed. My phone has been exposed to more rain water than this lol.
I tried restarting it, again, and same condition remains.
Phone is currently off in some rice, in the event it is water damage. Hopefully these phones aren't that sad that a few drops of water will damage them.
Could this be unrelated to the water? Would the water have found it's way through the sides, between the front screen and the side walls?
Thanks for any input guys.
What do you mean "Settings" button? Do you mean like the Menu cap key, or something within the OS?
I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my phone, and I ****ing SOAKED my phone putting it on (like seriously I had to let is sit and evaporate for a couple minutes afterward lol). No issues whatsoever.

The softkey (I think that's what it's called) in the lower right hand corner of the phone, next to the home button.
After sitting a bag-o-rice from the night, it's back to working. Still has me concerned what caused it, but I don't think I'll be using the same product.

I also use wet-mount screen protectors. Zaggs and armor shields. Both are good, zagg is a little better but I think armor shield is a better value (usually significantly cheaper). I've pretty much soaked a bunch of devices when installing them and never had a hardware issue from it. Probably 6 phones and 4 tablets between me and my wife.

The solution that comes with zagg is non conductive, according to the kid at best buy who installed mine. Just found this recommended to leave device off for 24 hrs after install.

I'll look into the Zagg if they're better. I went for value on the last one, and even though I had what appears to be a coincidence with the button, the finished product of that brand wasn't very good. Hard to clean the soapy residue off even with my selection of cleaners.

Ok, is the HD the clearest? Taking the screen protector I got from AT&T off reminded me me how awesome the screen is, and equally how crappy the protector they sold me is.

As far as other brands I don't know which is best, but the HD is much nicer than the standard Zagg from my old phone.

+1, first Zagg HD I've had is on my LGOG right now. From what I've read, all the wet mount screen protectors use a mild soap solution as the wetting agent. I've interchanged Zagg and armor shield solutions and screen protectors with no issues. The longest I've waited after an install to power on was about an hour, and now have no qualms about powering back up immediately after paper toweling the phone off then finish drying with the microfiber cloth.

The softkey (I think that's what it's called) in the lower right hand corner of the phone, next to the home button.
After sitting a bag-o-rice from the night, it's back to working. Still has me concerned what caused it, but I don't think I'll be using the same product.
How's the Zagg?

I love the Zagg for everything but the screen. It's got an odd, orange-peel/pleather like texture that is super grippy. Because of this, It's PERFECT for the back and sides (Full Coverage costs the same as front+ back only), as it adds a texture that I can actually hold on to, but I don't like it on the screen, because it grips and makes the screen slightly less smooth. I have a RealLook on the front right now, but I didn't notice that the person i had put it on (I'm awful at it) got like 2 bits of dust in the very middle of it, so Im gonna switch it out for something else when I get paid again lol.

I had the microfiber handy, maybe I turned it on too quickly. I didnt't wait very long, can't say I'm the most patient person in the world, lol.
