So recently i noticet dust on top of the phone and the botom between the bezel and the screen there is little dust but i am affraid thit the dust will become bigger so is this a problem or a comon thing on a SGS3?
Not if it becomes 'too much'.
Now some dust will get there, it would be easy to clean too.
However if the gap is big and attracts too much dust, get a replacement.
For example, in my first S3, there was too much dust on the left side and the bottom.
My replacement doesn't have the problem. (replaced because of screen issues, but it was a double fix )
So i have this phone for 20 days and i can say that i can see the dust under sunlight or a bright light and its pretty much the bottom of the phone the sides and the top seem to be ok they have a little dust but nothing "visible" like the bottom maybe the dust gets in the phone cause 90% i have the phone in my pocket (school,at home so almost everyvere i keep it in my pocket) maybe i shoud get a pouch?

If that is the case (not excessive abnormal amounts) put it in a pouch and try to expose it less to dusty areas, clean your pockets from dust too, it does get stuck there.
Anyways, all the dust can be easily removed with a fingernails or some alcohol swaps / needle.
Yeahh that is what i thought but i thought my phone is defected as you can se my case is plastic and it doesnt cover the top and bottom maybe i should get a silicon case that covers a little the bottom and top,also here is a photo that i took with my bro's Ace 2
I'm guessing you have the pebble blue version?

Lol that pic answered the question! It seems this only really does on the dark coloured phones, mainly pebble blue, some people reported uneven gapps between glass and bezel

How do you manage to clean it i mean with what the only thing i could stuck in there was the original foil of the phone the one that came with the phone as it is the only thin enough to enter in that area

I'm using a lens camera cleaning liquid and a lens very soft cloth and wipe from left to right and then from top to bottom. You can use some air spray too or a pump if the dust can't be completely removed. It's working for me. Btw, there are some very resistant dental floss, one side is like a needle, is used for interstitial space between teeth, and you can pass it thru that small space if you can't clean it with the cloth.

what i do when i get dust on some really hard to clean edges on my phone is that i use a sticky tape to do the trick.
to make the dust stick on the tape, you gotta press on something "thin"..
it's kinda hard to explain but it'd be easier if i had a cam near me so i could show it to you guys through a picture

I've been a (very) proud 3VO owner since July 2nd. I can be rough on my gadgets / phones, but i've been treating this one well. I have started to notice some of the black paint wearing off around the top of the metal bezel (specifically between the light sensor and the headphone plug). It is mainly on the sharp edge / corner, but is also showing in a few other places. I'm assuming it is from the phone being in my pocket rubbing on coins. Keys are always on a carabiner, knife is in other pocket, and don't carry a lighter.
My question is this: Has anyone actually sanded that piece down and polished it? I know it is not going to be a high grade metal, but I'd imagine if the phone was tore down that piece could be precisely sanded and buffed. Even if it was a little rough, a brushed metal look would be pretty slick looking around the phone. That bezel does have some printing on it around the camera button for "2D 3D Camera Mode", but who cares. We know what it does.
I'm afraid after a few months of use this thing will look like it's been through hell and back.
Get a case.

A high gloss polish would look too iphoney (2g/3g variants.)
And a brushed metal style would look too similar to LG line of current phones. In my opinion.
But.. To me. I like how roughed up metal looks. So, some worn paint, maybe some rust spots would look kinda bad ass to me. Lol.

Well thats the thing I have NEVER dropped my E3D and it has been in a Otterbox Defender since the day I bought it. I pulled it out to clean it and make sure there was no dust in there and I noticed the paint chips.
I am not kidding, use a sharpie marker, looks damn good.

I did but it doesn't stay... :|
I just bought mine this past weekend but if this is a wide spread problem it'll suck. I wonder if a fine grain would remove the black paint without roughing up the medal. If I were to do this will it void the terms of the sprint protection plan? Heck I wonder if they will fix this problem under the TEP program.

Answer: No, it's not a problem, it's normal wear and tear.
OP, you could definitely try your idea. But in addition to that, I put any coins I have in my other pocket. Nothing goes in the same pocket as my 3D except maybe a piece of paper on occasion.

I've dropped my phone where the metal bezel has a scratch and now is bare. Using a sharpie marker works but the marker wears off after a while. I used a sharpie marker and then used a tpu case. The problem solved.....for now.

I do have OCD and I have had a Otterbox Defender on my phone since the day I bought it! So I think its gonna keep happening no matter what I do!
I'm still in my 30 days and I also have dust under the screen so I might get a replacement anyway.
This aluminum frame that is on the front and sides of this phone is a really bad move by HTC... ive been xtra careful especially for my thirty day period... and rite ontop of front speaker there is a little white spec, it isnt a dent or scratch but a white small mark.. I see more problems to come with this aluminum front... And im not the one who likes wearing rubbers for protection i like my phone naked and just wear a phone holder on belt.. this is just another problem for the evo3d.... this along with the signal.,heat issues maybe because of radio, stupid sensative cheap power button.. all making me go back to my e4g... never had any of those issues i just mentoned.
I've got a small dot exposing the metal on mine. Its not that noticeable but just in case I now have a case on it.
Well as luck would have it I noticed something white on one of the corners of the phone do I rubbed it with my thumb and some of the black paint came off, same thing happened with the bottom corner. This phone is just 5 days old! I haven't had many of the problems manifest as discussed in other threads so I wouldn't want to return it but I am certainly contemplating it.

Yep it doesn't matter how careful you its gonna happen! Even with a case it happened to me then I took my case off for 3 days and another one showed up and I treat my phone like gold I am actually way over protective with it. I'm thinking of taking it back and getting the NS4G! I have dust under my screen now the paint is chipping and my rear speaker sounds like ****, I'm just scared the problems I have now are only gonna get worse.
Wow another problem. I too have paint chipping on the left side on the lower part by the screen. I rubbed it thinking it was dust and now it's silver. It also looks like the plating is slightly bent. And I also have a small white dot right under the sense on the metal part. Looked at my Shift and 4G and I see nothing like this and I used the hell out of those. As opposed this one, which is already a replacement for other issues.
Its 3 days old ffs. I've barely used it. Exchanging it is useless, its the build quality. It's going to happen to all EVO 3Ds sooner or later, even with a case and super care. Within a few months it will look like crap.
Oh well, I'm definitely returning this, but I'll do it after I have some fun with it. I hope the SGS2 has superior build quality, I think I can live without Sense from now on.
My wife has never dropped hers. But its bad. I dropped my phone once on some rocks. Small silver scratch on the face.

Yeah. Really lucky. My 4 week old Neo V was just falling once into the ground. It landed with the upper left corner.
RESULT:
Broken Screen, just a real little part in the left upper corner. But. The Touchscreen isn't working anymore...
Did somebody had some problems with dust under the screen?! There were about 2 tiny "things" under it...
As the above posters said, the screen is scratch resistant. In those 4 weeks I've didn't had one.
Sorry for my english skills...
I cant imagine a smartphone without any screen protector. I have been using this one for couple months and it has already saved my screen from scratches (even from some small particles when you have it in your pocket). Its true that the tiny part of shield is irretrievably scratched (even they guarantee its indestructibility), but the display is like new. Thank god!
i would still buy a screen protector just to be sure if i were you,
you can get it really cheap on ebay or maybe other webshops.

Im between a optimus black and a xperia neo.... probably going for the neo... it's cheaper and i liked it a lil bit more than the optimus.....
Got my Neo a screen protector since day one. Been using it for more than a month... Got my protector some scratches... Well I think putting a screen protector is better rather than having none.

hmmm.. You said it was scratched? Does it look like a dead pixel or stuck pixel? if it is a stuck pixel, you could search for the web on fixing it. Dark spots are caused by an excess pressure and sadly some of them grows larger just like on TVs, LCD monitors etc.... Its either, you try fixing it, or get your unit replaced.....
Been using a screen protector and a leather case with flip cover from the day I brought phone and it's been 4 months now and not a single scratch in phone

Hello.
So I dropped my Samsung Galaxy SIII and the glass cracked (not the display tho), and I got to repair it. When I got him back, there was a little stain, but barely noticeable. After that, a friend dropped my phone and the glass part separated from the phone, but we could put it back. So my phone works perfectly, except now there are more stains that are visible on white or bright backgrounds (see attachments). After a while, this really started to annoy me so I tried something. I discovered that I can separate the glass from the phone. It seems risky, so before I do anything, I want to post it here.What do you guys think? Should I do it, and if I do, what then? Should i clean the display with something, blow on the display or what?
just 1 thing to note is that opening the screen hard and u can easily break or mess up with something
They're not stains. It looks to me to be where the screen and glass are no longer in contact with each other. Like when you peel a corner of a screen protector off

i don't think so that only helps on a water damaged phone but what would be helpful is you knowing what you are doing so start by watching some videos on youtube and getting the hang of it otherwise you will end up with something bigger than stains

Sorry, I didn't see it. So what do you think I should do?
If it is done professionally, a glass replacement would be adhered to the AMOLED panel / digitiser, with a translucent adhesive "LOCA" (Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive). Seems to me the people who repaired it should be able to apply some more or rectify the issue.
Any idea what is that on my phone's screen?
Not possible to clean. only visible when the surfaces is wet..

I don't have any screen protector, the glass itself looks like deeper somewhere... ONLY IF WET.. The phone few weeks old... Its already my second s3 phone, because the first went wrong. I dont wan't to send back again... I can live with it... I just curious is someone else experienced same thing with gorilla glass?
Looks like something is wearing off the glass, seen an effect similar on a Panasonic toughbook with an early touch screen and anti-glare coating that wore away. Afaik the glass on these phones doesn't come with any protective coating so I'd try cleaning it all off, what ever it is.
Edit. Just read your post again, did you get replacement phone from Samsung or another source? Maybe replacement screen fitted with non-standard glass?
Is it inside or outside? Its hard to tell from the picture.
If inside, it could be the glass coming away from the LOCA (liquid ocular clear adhesive) that sticks the glass to the screen

I got my replacement phone from a retailer where originally i bought the first phone, but i saw strange "damages" on the phone from the very first time.. Hard to say as damage.. but for example the screen was look like dirty between glass and bezel (or some very thin white rhing was there)... another is a thin chrome-like paint layer missing on 3-4mm at the rear camera corner.. But the phone came in an original SEALED box.. so everything was look like a factory one.. I dont think the retailer shop playing with me... but this phone really looks like a refurbished. So i donno.. I was searching on the internet about gorilla glass problems but i didnt see anything like this...

its hard to say for me also.. I guess its maybe outside, and something like the glass is deeper. This all not so visible, I just noticed today and i using the phone more weeks now... I just noticed that I always see the same "pattern" when the screen a litle bit wet or has some fat on the top from my finger... If i clean it up as its possible, you cant see at all, just from certain viewpoint - also very transparent..
The picture that I uploaded is brighted up with photoshop, and i was breath on the screen.. But always the same pattern comes back.. I cant do anything.
Strange.... I can live with this problem. However I was paying the same money like anybody else who got a faultless phone...
Just realy curious, maybe someone already has same experience...
As stated earlier in the thread, I would hazard a guess it's the glass separating from the loca.
When I replaced my own glass parts looked like that as I begun the separation.

Something can be true here, because that area takes the fat faster.. If i pull over a wet paper on the screen, on this place will be more water than the other part of the screen, where just little bubbles. In this area will be a continous "water-spot"..
However i dont think i can wear down in 2-3 weeks...

Well I have seen reports of this wear popping up at fairly regular intervals.....I think, as with metals, some people's sweat/oil just reacts with the coating possibly
I thinking now: it was maybe come citric acid on my fingers at my workplace. although that must be visible almost everywhere on the screen. I used more than a year long a galaxy nexus in the same conditions. there i did never see anything like this.
i think if the coating is missing on my phone, it was missing already in the box...

Yes i thinking on too, but in this case i get no replacement phone, and have to wait again around 2 weeks for the service, then start installing again everything.... I only do this with my phones in this year untill now. Suffering enough.. My prevoius phone (galaxy nexus) has an emmc bug, this is why i was trying to put another kernels, roms, etc.. finally was dead... then i bought the galaxy s3 that i used only for a day long because was stuck in earphone mode. - sending back, waiting again for another phone, now i have this.. at least works, but looks ****...
All my phones was Samsung, but i getting lost my confidence with this name... I think next time i will buy something else...

I have an issue on the same lines.. In a dark room against the backlight, I see dark spots on the screen.. though they are not there when the screen is lit..
I am thinking of taking the phone to the service center..

That's nothing to do with this thread, search for information on OLED screens - it is supposed to be like that.

I would suspect that your 'new phone from a sealed box' was in fact a reconditioned unit with many thousands of hours use, hence why the screen coating is worn away.
Unless your citric acid solution was very strong, like you have holes in your fingers as well, I doubt this would cause it.
Again, best advise is to fit a £1 screen protector - it can save you from more than just scratches.
Dipped my back cover blue. Use this stuff alot.. Cars/bikes etc.. Quick easy way to change the color and protect it. Also much better grip.
Nice
I was thinking about doing this with some left over black that I have until my Qi charging back comes in, looks good! You didn't paint it with the back still on the phone did you? Looks like there is some over the speaker grille.

I was about to say the save thing, I hope it's just a reflection of the paint on the grille.

Plasti Dip has a strange ability to bridge gaps, so I have a feeling that it was just a thin layer of PD over the cut out.

As long as the PlastiDip doesn't have any edges that can be easily grabbed it should be fine. I have the emblems on the back of my car PlastiDipped and I've scrubbed them pretty hard while washing the car and the only times it starts to peel is if there is an edge that can be rolled and/or grabbed.
In the grill if you look really close you can tell it's just a reflection.

I did this in black a few weeks ago. I've already peeled it off because it was peeling on its own. I have to wait until its not so hot and humid to reapply it.

I've done this to phones in the past and putting the phone in your pocket will peel it off in no time. Plasti dip is awesome stuff, but it's no match for your pocket

Did you guys do any kind of prep on the back cover before you sprayed it? Now that it's been a few months, how's it holding up?
