There are many smudges on my Moto E's screen.
I can remove them by wiping with a wet cloth, but when I wipe the water droplets with a dry cloth the smudges come back
Should I get a replacement?

Thanks for your replies! This shouldn't happen though. Does this happen with all of you or should I get a replacement?

idk well they aren't exactly smudges.. my hands are almost always clean. (always clean when I use my phone)
they're like...um.. muddy (brown?) smudges maybe. they seem to happen when I use my phone. they also look really dirty on white backgrounds.
I can remove the smudges easily by wiping them but it's really annoying when on white backgrounds.
Also, the touch seems very... well it isn't smooth. The touch isn't exactly smooth yea. I don't know if this happens with all phones with Gorilla Glass?
Is this normal?

Hi. Just a quick question as I bought a new case and it came with a screen protector but no cloth. So I wondered what's best to clean my screen with? Perhaps a glasses cloth cleaner?
Any lint free microfiber cloth.

Just rub it off on your jeans. That sounds rude.

phillips screen cleaner gel for plasma & LEDs come w/a lint free cloth that dont leave streaks.
+1 to your own suggestion of a glasses cloth. I do as most above and just rub it on whatever I'm wearing, but if I do have a glasses cloth at hand then I'll use that and it's about the best thing you can get, as that's what it's made for

I put an screen protector and always clean the screen with the thing to clean the screen protector.
Sorry for my english
Spectacles cloth is lint free.
Normal tissues are definitely not lint free.
I just use a solution we use at work for our computer touch screen , or wipe it off with my son's muslin cloth.
I dont use screen protectors never liked them..

Screen protector protects the screen from scratches, gorilla glass is not scratch immune, even dust can scratch the screen or the coating on the screen.
I still haven't managed to get the LCD screen protector, and was wondering how everyone is cleaning the screen of their sony tablets. Fingerprints seem to leave more marks than I had expected.
I tried using the cloth I use to clean my sunglasses, that doesn't help much. Any recommended methods?

Using cloth that came with screen protector on my old tablet, works fine and removes fingerprints quite well. I too also need to buy a protector for my S tablet just havent gotten around to it. It might be me but S tab seems easier to get finger prints off then other tablets. Obvious thing too is to make sure your fingers are clean before using it ie not greasy or anything.
Yeah, I agree on the clean hands part.. I need to get one of those microfiber cloths..
what about those LCD cleaning sprays that they sell at computer stores? I used them once on my laptop, logically, should work for tablet.
How good is the official screen protector at keeping fingerprints under control?
Does anybody know if there is anything nasty in the hand sanitiser found in hospitals. I have tried it on a laptop screen to get permanent metallic marker off as it was the only thing that would touch it and it worked great with a little effort. I then proceeded to clean various other products with the same excellent results, fingerprints, grease and dust removed without so much as a streak. I think that it's alcohol based so presume that's why it cleans so well. As for using it on my pride and joy........ I might just persist with the old cleaning cloth that came with a gigabyte pc case.

Buy an ZAGG screenprotector. It should get rid of your fingerprints. With its amasing cloth

Hmm.... not sure about the hand sanitizer thing.... i'm guessing the LCD sprays used for laptop screens should work well here...anyone disagree?

Havent tried it but I imagine any cleaner meant for lcd screens, camera lenses etc would be fine on the tablet but yeah wouldnt use hand sanitizers....
I actually used that lcd screen cleaner from Monoprice on the Tablet S screen before applying the screen protector. Worked very well. The Zagg cleaner does a very good job as well.
I dont. Its going to have fingerprints on it 100% of the time anyways. I do however brush off dust with a fluffy microfiber towel meant for drying cars.

oh btw: forza rossoneri! ;-)
I use the Steinheil SGP lcd cleaner spray and wipe dry with a microfibre cloth, it works wonders and really cleans the screen to like new condition.
wet cloth do the job for me.
My question is in the title.
My screen protectors were missent and I was wondering if I were to use my phone right now would the marks be gone after I put the screen protector on it.
So yes or no?
huh?? you wipe the screen clean with the cloth suplied before you put the screen protectors on.. i have a sreen protector on mine and you still get the finger prints on top of the protector.

I'm actually quite new to phones, and never used a screen protectors before.
I got my first smartphone last year.
Just clean the screen with a spot of window cleaner and use a lint free cloth to get no specks on, then peel back off screen protector and hold the sides because if you touch the sticky side it'll get fingerprints on and carefully fit it. and make sure to wash your hands first and do in dust free room, because a single speck of dust can ruin it, and I think the best place to do it is a steamy bathroom because the steam stops any dust.
I have scratches on my Ultra Z screen and want to remove the factory anti shatter plastic but am having a bit of trouble.
Anyone have any tips on removing this ? I could only chip a small patch in corner off. It doesnt want to do like I have seen in the Z videos and lift up for me to pull it off. Should i use a razor top scrap or is there some solution like nail polish remover that may help ? Any ideas would be great .. heat ?
try to use the lighter and quickly put some heat on the corner
Sucess !!!!! I removed the shatter proff Screen protector from my Xperia Z ultra
I did it ! I may be the first one to remove the Xperia Z ULTRA shatter proof factory screen protector so far. It was a *****. took a razor blade(small) and about 1 hour of scraping till my figures felt like they where gonna fall off. There was a ton of glue I had to clean off afterwards with nail polish remover and eye glass cleaner.
It is clean as a wistle now! not 1 scratch. I dont recommend trying this for the faint of heart. My wife thought I hosed the phone.
I can sleep tonight ! woot.!

I just had a small 1/4 inch piece of razor blade i would jam it under and pull 5 cm pieces off. The plastic is very brittle and would just kinda break/flake off in small pieces. It took quite awhile to complete. It may work better with a diffrent tool.
There was no marks left on the screen and I was pushing hard with the flat of the razor blade

I have taken the anti shatter protectors of my previous Sony's like the Ion but not on one of the larger devices. Do you recommend undergoing this long surgery either the Ultra? I usually prefer the feel and look of smooth glass. The Ultra seems to have a different material/process used making it much more difficult. Thanks.

Yes I feel its worth it. I am sure using a better tool to get under the plastic would have helped , like a craft makers razer blade pen with a straight/flat edge. You just have to remeber its not like the Z videos where someone lifts a tiny edge and pulls the whole thing off . It's very brittle and must be lifted off with a razor or flat edge tool bit by bit.
I put a standard screen protector on and it feels better than the Sony installed one. and I have the option now to remove it anytime .
I have ordered a tempered glass screen protector , ill keep you posted on how it works.

Mine came off in little pieces with a lot of glue residue. I started peeling with my fingernail before reading this thread and thought the brittle screen protector was part of the glass. It's pretty clean now, after an initial pass with fingernail polish remover. I usually don't like after market screen protectors but let me know where you got the tempered glass one.
PITA = pain in the a&%, it took me well over an hour with a sharp knife. Thought I ruined the screen until wiping off all the glue.

I removed mine because after cleaning the screen the protector has a weird haze in the middle. In addition to scratching fairly easily you do need to be careful cleaning it. All prior Sony's were pretty easy to remove. The material on the Ultra was very odd. Screen looks great though.

I got the Anoke glass protector. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R8DZWQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The edges won't go down 100%. Is there a way to keep them down? Is this just a down side of the phone? I have a Foscom rugged case for it. Do you think the small lifting will be an issue?
I had a really bad halo with my nillkin protector and I had no issue with functionality of the device with it on, but I ended up taking it off because I hated the look of it when the screen was off or the screen being on in bright sunlight.
Basically, it won't affect the touch screen performance in any way, other than some quality loss if the halo goes over where the actual pixels are, not just the glass
I think I read something about putting rubbing alcohol and it removing the halos, not super sure though might want to hear what other people say.

Alcohol will remove the fingerprint-resistant layer of the screen. Might not matter if you're keeping the screen protector the entire life of the phone, but I think it's worth mentioning.

This is true. I used an alcohol wipe when I first took the factory protector off to fit my glass one. It very promptly removed the oleophobic coating from the factory screen, making it super grippy. There was no way I could glide my finger over it.

I used an alcohol prep pad and when I wiped dry with a microfiber it glided smoothly.
