i use a q-tip with a little rubbing alcohol on it
That's actually sounds like a good suggestion but wouldn't change color ?

I just have a case and its been 3 weeks and no signs of this but I do know what youre talking about
Well I am using the double dip flip case which supposedly give us 100% but it's a lie because the sides are opening

I`m interested in that topic too.
There are several parts that must be cleaned :
1. White plastic on sides - I`v read that you can use Mr. Clean Magic Erase, but there is nothing like it in my country ! What would happen if we use a micro fiber towel and alcohol or water ?
2. Speaker grills - someone says to use a toothbrush and alcohol again.
3. Aluminium parts - my beats logo is awful after several days ... scared of using nail polisher ... any ideas ?
Well nail polish will remove paint in no time so no good on that and I noticed the speaker grills do get dirty as often as anything else on the phone and I think toothbrush is bad cuz it could insert alcohol in ur speaker holes and eventually messing up ur speakers

Hi guys.. here is a good way that I use to clean my silver HTC one. Use a none hard cloth such as very soft micro fibre then apply a little baby oil to the cloth and lightly clean the Ali body not the screen , after that finish of with wiping the body of your HTC one with a dry clean micro fibre cloth.. not only it will clean you HTC one it will not damage and leave it looking nice.. I have done it and it's a method I used to clean silver and ali washing machines when I was in the trade. Hope this helps but same old warning try at your own risk.

I use cloth baby wipes. But I don't know how your getting yellowing. Then again I keep my baby clean.

Well I'm a painter so maybe I just get some slight paint but I don't think so n I heard baby wipes are bad because they are not static free so they cuz messed with the pixels
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
This is why I got it in black (although black has other issues like visible finger smears and any dust shows up easily especially if it gets caught in the speaker grills. Actully my question would be how to clear the grills if and when it happens).
Plastic bristles usually find them in home depot or Lowe's well my sides really suck they r a dirty white ugh

No issues ever. Why would cleaning the white part of the phone the a wet full "cloth" wipe cause issues from the side of the phone with your screen? Are you trying to clean the chips inside the phone? Wipe gentle. All cloth wipes can be found at Wal-Mart. Under $2.
Wipe off with cleaning cloth. No probe. Looks brand new.

OMG.. just replace it with a thinner model... screen becomes moisture sensitive afterwards.
Is it really another screen protector? Because I'm scared to go really hard to take it out I used a razor blade I.managed taking a small part out really tiny tho.

Yes it definitely is another screen protector.
Yes the screen is far more responsive with a thinner screen protector on it.
also don't use a razor blade, I used a safety pin to vertically stab the edge until it lifts a bit. Then use your hands to pull it off as it is stuck on hard so needs a bit of strength to pull off rather than a normal screen protector

I have a question about screen protectors if you don't mind I ask here.
Is there anywhere I can purchase one of those privacy screen protectors where people can't see the screen on the side for this phone?

rip that puppy off. mine has been off for months and months. its super tough glass that is ridiculously strong - i have not scratched it AT ALL and it has no stains or marks.
one guy even took to his with a knife to test it (search for an older thread on this). dont worry about anyone saying that its gunna scratch or get water in it - its glass after all so they have clearly not tried it.

I have tested this..
The touch response is effected by moisture.
Pull it off and replace with a nice thin one.
It's crystal glass.. quite impervious to damage.. but it can still crack and break.
Holy ! I've been wondering the exact same thing for a while ! Its so hard to take off -.-

I first used a knife didnt help tried a razor blade i only managed to cut like 4mm of it then i uses an needle and pushed under it and it pulled off i had to pull very hard to take that **** out damn wasnt an easy job i can say!

I'm not sure what it is, or if it's like a protectant layer that's wearing off.
But it's only in the lower half of the screen towards the middle.
It covers almost the whole bottom half, it looks like something splattered on it. But I can get it off with anything, I tried water, eyeglass cleaner, and Window cleaner.
It's really annoying I can feel the difference when I try to slide my finger across.
It's all fine when I clean it, it looks perfectly fine. But when I slide my thumb across is shows up.

did you happen to be in the bathroom with a inappropriate picture on the screen?
if so thats where the sticky substance came from... lol
I figured there would be one person...
But no, it's like there's a protective coating onto of the screen and it's like wearing in on area.
It just won't clean off.

It should lift it as the alcohol evaporates... and I would only recommend alcohol so if any gets in the device it won't hurt it
Sent from my Triumph using XDA
It is actually the oil repellent(or something like that) coating, unfortunately, it is irreversible unless you get it painted again I guess, or replace the screen. your best bet is put on a screen protector.
This happened to BOTH of my previous android phones, Acer Liquid (happened really quickly because the screen is not very sensitive), Atrix (device too fast, so I browse the web on it too much so it has worn off too)
Moved on to HTC Amaze, I guess it is just the same, I better put a screen protector on first...
One question though, did you ever use screen protector? Both of my previous devices did, I wonder if they take a thin layer off when you peel them off....
Well I bought my phone used so I'm not sure.
The alcohol didn't work, so I'm pretty sure it's the coating...
Time to get a screen protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well I can't really tell...
It almost acts like it's coming off, I can't really feel it anymore and I can only see it when I purposefully get my screen dirty. But it looks like something was smeared on it and half of it came off and it's in a hole bunch of little dots and globs.
Is this what yours looked like morris?

not sure but you might try DRM'ing the phone through tmobile just not sure what their policy is on doing it to a phone you got from someone else . . would think you still could though

Haha, but really I'm thinking that my battery was getting really hot or something and it melted it or something. Or some type of chemical reaction between it and all of the oils I have on my hands while I'm at work. I work at a machine shop, and there's always different types of coolant and oil

Ok guys I have my first case of body damage. The nice rubbery coating on the body has seemed to "chip off" in some spots, they are very small but that's how it starts lol one spot is on my speaker grill I now have a white spot there where I'm guessing a small piece of something sharp dug into the coating. Also on the side right above the volume rocker it also chipped and it was almost like something worked it way under coating and lifted it in a tiny spot so I had to scratch it off cuz I'm so anal lol just thought I'd let y'all know..I had a tpu case on it when both happened so I'm gonna say that something got into the case and did this damage.

I didn't go into details, but was the whole body switching process too complex? Time wise and all alignments and cutouts matched?
Na all it took for me was one guitar pic. But I think most people recomend two or three all u do is wedge it in between the plastic body and the rest of the phone if u look at the sode of phone where the edge dips down is good place to start

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't think you need to worry about dust. I had dust with my sensation but the screen was different. These new LCD panels have zero gap between the LCD and the glass. I personally wouldnt have noticed any gaps if you guys had better things to do than to point out these little oddities with your phones. My device is perfect in my eyes so I think that's all that matters. Wow this phone feels nice. Not the easiest to grip without a case but it's very easy on the eyes.
