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.
Hope my method will give you some tips FilthyGoat .......your username makes me smile with this question you asked

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?

Has anybody noticed that dust collects on the inside of the little window for the front-facing camera? Or, am I the only one this has happened to? I have no idea how to clean it; I've tried shooting "canned air" into the back with the cover off, and into the earpiece. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd gladly listen. Thanks!

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...

I have a screen protector on my phone and I accidentally had my phone and keys in my pocket and it made a small scratch through the screen protector on the phone. Does toothpaste work or is that an urban legend? Or should I try some of those Displex (or whatever it is called) products that take scratches off LCD screens (although I am not sure if it works well on touch screens), or if I need a replacement screen. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If the scratches are fine, you can put a Zagg cover or similar vinyl-type cover on it. The soft vinyl fills in superficial scratches so well, you can't see them. If the scratches are deep & catches your fingernail, you probably have to replace the screen. I have seen the toothpaste trick used to buff car headlights, but I have no idea how well it works on a phone. If the scratches are deep & you're looking at replacing it anyway, you could try toothpaste since you really have nothing to lose. Good luck
The scratch is pretty small, my fingernail does not catch to it. What do you mean by Zagg cover? Like, one of their screen protectors or another product? I am going to a Verizon store to see if they might have any options or if they can to touch it up there, but I do not think they will be too much help so I look to XDA for advice, ha.

Go to Best Buy & ask for a Zagg screen shield. They should have it for Tbolt by now. They're a pain to install, so you might consider paying the extra $10 or so to have the rep install it for you. That way, if it's not to your liking they'll redo it for no extra charge (even if they must open another package). Vinyl screen covers are soft & pliable and fill in superficial scratches kinda like a thick liquid, unlike cheap stiff screen covers. I did this with a phone that had some very fine scratches & areas that had rubbed against a case or something, and it all disappeared with the Zagg cover.

Zagg screen protectors are great have used them on my last three phones . A little expensive but worth it (19.99 @ best buy) life time replacement and very hard to scratch. Not to hard to put on just like doing window tint. They are soft so they do occasionally stretch but keep the application kit and just rinse it off and reapply .
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Hmm, I might try the Zagg option since it seems to be the best option - are there any other things I can try or look into?
Do not use scratch remover you can easily do more damage than the scratch on it now . I have seen friends use it only to mess up their screen more .
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I see, I was worried because I know on LCD screens you can use scratch removers, but with touch screen phones I was afraid of if it would do more damage like you said. The more I look, I feel like I can sort of feel it slightly with my fingernail - it is one of those scratches that on a white screen you can see the multiple colors as you slowly turn the phone (hopefully I am describing this correctly because I normally stick at describing stuff). The screen protector is still on but I can tell this went through (my keys were in my pocket with my phone for like 3 seconds and when I realized this, I think in my panic to take the keys out so they wouldn't scratch the screen, I scratched the screen... Ugh, ha). Would that Zagg protector still be able to cover that sort of scratch?
You will proly still have some color distortion but it won't be as bad as what you see now. And a $20 vinyl screen cover is much cheaper than replacing the whole glass...unless you have a friend in the phone repair business.

Thanks for your help! I am going to go to the Verizon store within the next hour or so and ask their opinion, and then go over to Best Buy and look at the Zagg... Would something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Verizon-HTC-Thunderbolt-Digitizer-Engraving/dp/B004ULQH34 be something I could do myself and replace, or would I need a Verizon or other phone retailer to install it for me?

That is a new screen, not just a cover. You could install that yourself if you know what you're doing, but that means completely disassembling the phone & reassembling it. You might have a hard time finding a phone repair shop to do it, since you'd be asking them to use parts you bought online. Most places won't mess with parts bought from another retailer, and they are even more unlikely to warranty it. Verizon will definitely refuse to touch it. If you decide to replace the glass, just ask around for a good phone repair shop and pay them for everything (parts & labor) so you can get a warranty.
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.

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.

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.

Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem as I haven't found anything about it which is quite surprising given how annoying it is.
Basically I've found that when I don't have a screen protector covering the lens of the camera, it picks up smudges very easily from the way I hold my phone and my finger touching the lens every now and then. This causes several very very noticable "ring" type things on the pictures I take where the flash is used. I'm a bit confused that HTC didn't address this issue as it more or less ruins any pictures taken in lower light conditions.
My solution so far has been to keep using a screen protector over the lens as this doesn't create the ring effect even if i purposely keep touching the lens with my finger. Does anyone know a solution to this though? I'd really like to not have a screen protector over my lenses as it probably ever so slightly degrades picture quality.
Your holding it wrong

I've had that problem with every phone i had so far. I've just made it a habit to give the glas a quick wipe with my shirt or whatever is available unless I don't care too much how the shot actually looks.

Maybe its where the lens is positioned making it more likely for me to touch it, but I've never noticed it on ny previous phones and certainly never to the extent it appears on this one. Doesn't look like there any other solution other than to give the lens a quick wipe.
How durable is the glass though? Can it scratch it wiped with a shirt, etc? Also, does anyone know exactly how much a screen protector deterioates the image?

Ah really?? What a ridiculous design flaw if they used a material that scratches easily considering how damm big that area is.
Well its obvious if you hold your phone with coins, keys and so. I tend to hold my phone in pocket with nothing else and since I bough my evo (early august 2011) I cant find any scratch even tiny. And yea - using shirt to clean lens is must-do before taking photo!

I haven't got a single scratch anywhere on the phone so far as I take very good care of it, but recently I've been wanting to use the camera without a screen protector over it. It sucks that they didn't factor in that if you make a mistake ONCE and put it in a pocket with keys or something, then it will get permanently scratched. If they insist or making a big fat area of removable glass on the back, then they should really put something like gorilla glass there. And anyway, it is still a major fail for HTC as with a screen protector on, these smudges do not create rings around the photo. It is the ****ty material they used that causes this problem.
Just to confirm though, are you saying wiping the glass with your shirt will not scratch it?
Well it would have bunch of scratches till now I use shirt to clean it everytime I take photo. Still "glass" that protects lenses isn't the same as one on front of the phone and its more likely easier to scratch - be aware of that.
Ps. I had motorbike accident just after buying phone... it was damaged a lot, and replacing "glass" parts at service is freaking expensive (especially front parts) so dont scratch it!
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)

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.
