Ok so I was wondering if any one knows what this is. My dinc 2 screen will pretty much resist face oil and finger prints alright on the top half of my screen. But the bottom lower half gets extreamely smudgy. I can rub it across my face and I can see the the halves clearly. Not sure if some coating got taken off or what what it's really anoying. I've used all maner of screen cleaner on it and it wont fix the problem. thoughts?
The bottom half might have worn off due to higher usage of the bottom half, keyboard etc.
Just a thought

I noticed there are dust in the front of my phone, you know, where the screen joins the sides bezel. While I may be anal, but I worry about dust getting in under the screen as have happened on my previous mobile phones.
Is that likely to happen to the SGS2? ie dust under screen.
Is there an skin that will go over the joining cracks to stop more dust getting inthere?
Yes there is dust between screen and the surrounding plastic, because of the small gap. But no dust under my screen yet.
I think Samsung took care of it.
you will hardly be able to get any dust under the screen since glass and the screen are one. so its kinda impossible
Agreed with the above comment. The Digitizer (Touchscreen) and the Display is joint together and it is not possible to separate them, hence there is no chance of dust getting accumulated between the Display and the Touchscreen.
Same with the Galaxy S
well, it seems that its not so impossible afterall...
I just can't believe me eyes just woke up this morning and reached for my phone, after a small wipe of the screen i saw one little spot that wasn't coming off... after a closer look i realized that the little spot of dust is sitting comfortably under my screen
this is a real bummer for me, never had a similar issue on my previous phone, does anyone know a real solution for this issue?
will try to take a picture and post it later
no dust for me

Did you manage to remove the dust or did it get stuck like that?
So thought I'd share this as I think I have figured out the best way to stick one on without bubbles!
Before anyone states that a screen protector is pointless because there already is one on blah blah, I disagree because I just like the reassurance that if the screen gets scratched it doesn't matter. Plus that preapplied screen protector is very good and well applied (obviously) so its a waste just to use that as a protector alone.
On my older phones I have always ended up scraping the screen protector because the bubbles annoy me so much, and they're a pain to apply. But with the XS I tried and got it perfect, thought it was just luck, but did it again and achieved a good result again.
First turn of the phone for 10 minutes (apparently the heat can cause bubbles) Wash your hands, clean a desk area and take your top of (wear a tshirt)
then clean the screen, its obviously but really clean it (I use a wet wipe and then dry it off with a clean cotton top) if you have the special cloth use this too.
Get a lamp and shine it on the screen check for any streak marks and polish these away until the screen is perfect. Blow gentle to remove any dust particles small hairs etc. I have found in the past that bubbles often have a hair in the middle of them which prevents the protector from not properly sticking.
Now the tricky bit, pull at the '1' tab to remove the protector sheet, but do this with that side facing downwards (so that any dirt in the air wont land on the sticky side) and lower it towards the screen.
Align the corners with THE TOP of the phone next to the sony logo and curve the protector so that the top of the protector touches the screen (the area around the speaker grill and logo. Double check that everything is aligned so it will fit perfectly when you lay down the rest of it. Don't worry about any bubbles here as they can be squeezed out easily (due to the speaker grill).
Now grab a card of some sort, my driving licence seems to work best and place it where the top of the screen protector has been applied. With the right hand keep holding the protector at the edge of it, and with your left hand firmly press down the card and slide towards the bottom of the phone. (be firm at this point don't worry the screen will be fine it can take this pressure!)
Slide all the way down and look at your job. hopefully there should be only a few bubbles around the edge, if there are ones in the centre then carefully peel it up and try again. (don't touch the sticky side obviously and make sure you don't touch the screen.
The bubbles around the edges and around the speaker grill can be squeezed out using the card. Go over it a few times and then pull the protector sheet '2' tab off. And there ya go a nicely applied screen protector!
I tried to be as detailed as possible but may post pictures later if people require them.
Hello everyone.
I was cleaning my Galaxy S3 this morning and figured out a stain on the screen.
At first I thought it was some grease, so I used a cloth with soap to take it out Surprisingly the stain persisted!
Looking more carefully at it, I found out the stain fits exactly the spot I must touch with my left thumb.
Actualy it's not a stain. Somewhat the screen wore! Like the most used keys of an old keyboard.
The stain is only visible when the phone is covered with water. The faded portion of the screen takes more time to dry the water.
Is anybody experiencing this too?
I never imagined a flagship device like this could use so bad materials on it. It's only 8 months old and I'm not a hard user.
Most of my friends have Apple devices and they look like new even after years of usage.
Maybe I got a defectful screen glass?
Never experienced anything like this. Maybe you have diamond coated fingers. Maybe the oleophobic coating wore off?! If it has a coating.

It isn't bad materials as you say, what industry are in in or have you had something acidic on your fingers?. Have you had a screen protector on that has left residue??
Is covering your screen with water a good thing to do??

I don't work in a factory; I work in the office. I can't recall using or droping something acidic on the phone. Even because I'm not in contact with such things. I never used a screen protector or a case.
I mean the water left by the humid cloth. Nothing special.
I know its an old post but i suggest you to buy a screen protector to extend the life of the screen
Some people's sweat can be quite detrimental, use screen protector or don't moan
so i had my phone face down on a clean school desk
i picked it up carefully and vertically (so the screen doesnt rub against the desk)
ans surprise! there are tiny scratches on the right and left side of the display
is this normal?
The other day, i had my phone face down on my backpack literally 4 inches above concrete. One slow fall later, i flip it over and there's one long horizontal crack across the glass. I think i'm going to get a shop to put a white screen on it now.
The outside bezel of the glass has a small ridge in it that elevates it VERY slightly when it is put face down without a case, so the edge of the front face is very prone to scratches. Mine seems to hold up pretty well. I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've ever had, and the only visible damage I have is a small chip about 1/2 a millimeter on the top left corner. It's small enough that my case covers it up.

the scratches are not visible by any means. but the fact that just by putting it face down scratches the screen is kind of disheartening.
anyways. if it gets any worse, i might just get a replacement screen.
Get the xtreme guard screen protector. Super cheap and lasts a long time

Mine fell out of my jacket pocket about 2' onto tile at a store when I was reaching down to pick something up it slipped out and landed flat on the screen, no damage except for a few minor scratches that are only visable when the light hits it just right. Forgot to mention that I did not have a case or any kind of screen protector on it.
My Poco fell out of my hand and luckily I had high quality tempered glass. Display was alright but tempered glass shattered So I removed it after examining the screen I noticed this single White Dot.
It's nothing, barely visible, but every time I see it I feel terrible. Is the screen broken or is it something else? Has anyone faced this problem? Please help.
That's a pressure point or dirt spot. I have a feeling something got displaced when you dropped it and is now adding pressure to the screen from behind. LCDs are very sensitive. Can also happen due to long term bending while in pant pockets.
Same can be seen on laptop screens as well. For example check the image attached of my laptop. Has been there due to pressure from bezel after a hinge break.
You can just go ahead and ignore it, imo.

Thank you for helping me out; I really appreciate your support. I was about to open this device to fix this but I guess I'll just have to ignore it.
