Hi guys. I have had my LG G5 titan color for 3 days. I already have many fine micro scratches on the screen's oleophobic coating. These scratches are difficult to see as they are micro scratches that can only be seen in direct sunlight or a bright light source shining on the display from certain angles. My Nexus 6P has none that I can see after 6 months, and the LG G5 looks worse than any phone I've ever had. I always keep my phone in my left pocket all by itself. I don't see others reporting this, but it seems the oleophobic coating scratches very easily. Anyone else seeing this?
Are you sure you don't still have the plastic shipping screen cover on it? I used my phone for three days before I realized there was plastic on the screen.
Or did I remove something I shouldn't have? Lol.

I have to agree. I have plenty of those scratches that you can only see in sunlight and usually only with the screen off. Also a couple of more serious scratches that came from who knows where as I haven't dropped it yet (knock on wood). My G3 and Galaxy Nexus and S4 screens are all still in great condition with what I assume has been the same usage patterns. Coincidentally, I put my phone in my left pocket with nothing else as well. That must be our problem lol
Right pocket

Maybe we should have used the right pocket instead?
I started using my wife's silver color G5 and so far the oleophobic coating seems to be much better on this one. I have no idea how that could be. I still have the titan color phone and I'm going to try to cover up the micro scratches with the oleophobic solution I ordered off of Ebay. I'll let you guys know if that covers up the scratches nicely. I'm going to sell the phone after that since my wife decided to stick with her HTC A9 phone so I could keep the silver G5.

I wish that was the problem! I switched to the silver color phone and so far the oleophobic coating seems to be much better on this one since no scratches have appeared as of yet. Have fun with your G5!
Silver G5 scratching too...
I've had the Silver AT&T edition for about 3 months and have a few of these micro-scratches on the coating also...pretty disappointed in this as I had an s2 and s4 previously and not one tiny scratch on either for years. Also keep it in my left pocket with nothing else. Is there anything we can do? Would LG cover this since it's not living up to what a flagship's screen should be? I saw a V10 thread on here with lots of users complaining about this very thing so it does seem to be an ongoing issue...Thanks...

Unfortunately LG would never authorize any repair service for cosmetic returns. They would simply tell you it's your fault for not putting a screen protector on it. My current silver phone still has not developed any micro scratches. I honestly believe there must be a difference in the oleophobic coating between some of the batches. Maybe some have more of it or a thicker coating? If you hate screen protectors like I do and the micro scratches bother you, I would strongly recommend that you get yourself an oleophobic coating kit from eBay to cover up the micro scratches. The good news is that if they are in fact micro scratches in the coating, the actual glass is perfectly fine. Sorry to hear about your issue.
Does the camera on the back have a plastic cover on it? Mine looks so, but I'm afraid of trying to remove it and ending causing some scratches...

i know this phone has gorilla glass 2. But i read a few story of people getting scratches like nothing. Would like to know if anyone here is getting scratches and how
Not me but I use a screen protector. Best $10 I ever spent on my phone! Well any phone for that matter.
Yep I have scratches. Not quite sure how it happened. Thinking it was when I had it in my pocket one day.

I just picked some up from ATT until my Otterbox case comes in. I think it was a "Moshi" or something like that. I got it heavily discounted from the corp store. And to be honest its a pretty nice screen protector so far! Easy to apply and take off to clean.
What about you? I hear good things about SGP. Easy on the wallet and great quality.
I haven't received my gs3 yet but I have had the Droid since the day it came out and I keep it in my pocket with my keys and everything. It has very small scratches but nothing that you can see with the screen on.
I can't imagine the GS3 being any less scratch resistant.
No scratches at all. Always put it in my pocket and no screen protector. Had my SGS2 for 8 months without getting any scratches on the screen without a screen protector.
I got a pretty deep scratch right in the middle of mine... I think from a piece of sand or grit or something. I dropped the phone from like 2 feet, it slid off the couch onto the hardwood floor before I got my case and screen protector I was pretty upset, especially after seeing these videos of people going at it with knives and screwdrivers and whatnot with zero damage. Had my nexus one for like 2.5 years no scratches on the glass...
I keep mine in my pocket all day no scratches yet. Don't like screen protectors they make the screen look crappy

No scratches here, either. My previous phone was a Moto Photon (first gen Gorilla Glass). No scratches after a year of pocket carry.
I never use cases or screen protectors. I like the naked feel of a phone.
Yah I got a scratch already. My bad. Only notice it when the screen is off. No worries.

I have a couple of little micro scratches that can only be seen if the light hits the screen at the right angle. No big deal at all. I hate screen protectors.
Yup, went in at about 10 am today, finally left around 10:45 with my new phone and it had light small hairline scratches on the side of the phone. I hadn't even touched it other than to login and download a few apps. My hands were clean and I didn't put it in my pocket, as I walked outside I noticed the scratches because of the daylight glaring on it.
I took it back and they exchanged it for me.
I am on the no screen protector and no scratches bandwagon.
Release day gs3.
Also release day gs2 that didn't every have a screen protector and no scratches.
And I do not baby the phone.
I don't baby my phone either but managed to get a scratch on the very first day. All I can remember doing was holding several phones together walking in from my truck and it got a scratch from some sand on the back of one case that was up against the S3 screen. Way too easy if you ask me. I took my original Zagg off of my nexus and put it on the S3. Can't see it now though.

I got it on release day for sprint, about 2 days ago my girlfriend borrowed it quickly to make a call while I had it out playing with it, she handed it back and I saw a smudge. Turned out the smudge was a little cluster of 5 light scratches, tiny though.
Earrings are the devil. It's not even like they were diamonds or anything super expensive, just cheap daily wearers.
I was a little bummed immediately (hid it well though to not make her feel bad, lol) but really they are only noticeable if the screen is off and you're trying to look for them. Now it's officially mine
So yeah, guess I should of thought ahead but being that I don't wear earrings it never even occured to me in the moment. Still not going to grab a screen protector, I'm sure with how I abuse my phone in 8 months or so I'll end up having to get an insurance replacement anyway lol.
Nope, had a screen protector on it since day 1
I dont have any scratches. I kept the in-box screen cover for almost a week until Realook started shipping their dry-type protectors. Now I got them and I can recommend to anyone. No change to screen quality and tocuh feel. Had Realook on my Vibrant for 2 years and served well.

I have no scratches on my screen; I just use a tpu case.
yeah mine had scratches right out of the box and the paint was chipped. gonna take it back.
I have had my Note 2 for one week now, and I have gotten a few very hairline scratches on the screen. I have NEVER placed my phone in a pocket with keys, dirt, debris, nor have I ever dropped it or misused it. The scratches are right where I normally swipe the screen to scroll on web pages, but I have never tried this with dirt on my hands.
I have babied this phone since day one and I feel frustrated that the Gorilla Glass 2 doesn't hold up nearly as well as its predecessor.
Questions:
1) I have a few days left to buy into the Geek Squad Protection Program, is it worth it? I've heard horror stories about them not standing behind their service.
2) Has anyone else had this problem with it scratching easily?
3) What is the best screen protector on the market?
Check the spigen Ultra Nano Clear screen protectors, they are awesome.
I have had my N2 since the day they where released and my screen is perfect even with no screen protector.
As far as the BB protection plan, my Son is checking into that right now (he has the plan on a razr maxx that needs to be replaced) His best friend works at BB so he is checking on what they do/don't cover next time he goes to work.
I have also had a great experience with my SGP ultra crystal protector. It doesn't even collect fingerprints as badly as I thought it would.

My screen is still pretty scratch free, with the exception of a few minor ones.
As far as the Geek Squad Plan, I used to work for Best Buy Mobile. In my time there I never refused a phone. The one thing to be aware of is that scratches don't count as it being a broken/faulty phone. If it was cracked it would then be replaced. Other important factor is that you don't get an immediate replacement. They send it out and you get a new phone shipped back to the store in about 2 days. You can either use an old device or get a "loaner" phone from BB. I don't work for Best Buy anymore but still do have the Protection Plan on all my phones. I've used it a few times even after rooting and returning to stock. Never had a problem.
Hope this helps.
You had something as hard as sand (or harder) rub against your screen.
There is nothing defective with GG, or GG2 (the difference is that 2 is thinner, not tougher). It just so happens that a substance harder than glass scratched it.
GG is not scratch proof, not by a long shot. Your phones didn't scratch like this before because they didn't encounter the same substance that scratched yours.
Gorilla Glass is pure marketing. All of the things they show not scratching GG, doesn't scratch other tempered glasses either.
Had my note 2 almost 2 weeks and have noticed a few very small scratches on the screen too. I picked up the Just Like Glass protectors for mine, get them in the mail today.
Try out the tech armor hd clear screen protectors, they work really well. No orange peel effect or screen distortion at all. Also they are going for under $4.00 on amazon if you have a prime account. In regards to the bb protection plan. I have never used it. I too have worked at bb in the past and all my coworkers agreed it wasn't worth it. Try out squaretrade. I have used them for all my phone warranties and they do an excellent job taking care of you in terms of sending a replacement or reimburrsing you should have to buy a new phone off contract price.

I've had my phone since before Christmas, and I do have stuff in my pockets with it during the week at work, though nothing metal, and the screen is still just as nice as before.
Ive had some scuffmarks appear..I just used some automotive scratch remover and it works great..
If theyre scratches you can feel with a fingernail..then youre out of luck.

Well I think I'm going to try the Best Buy thing. Maybe my phone will unknowingly jump out of my pocket and shatter its screen next week.
The scratches are very small and hard to identify, but whenever I pull up a completely white screen, the scratches cause the light to reflect different colors. So a fully blank screen (white) has 1-2mm long and very thin blue/green/red-ish lines across it. Extremely annoying considering I will be having this phone for the next 2 years.
Any advise on the Best Buy warranty or the best way to go about filing for a new phone?
Also, screen protectors will be in hand whenever I get my replacement Note since it seems they aren't as durable as once thought.

It's actually very simple... If you don't want to get ANY scratches on your screen then buy a screen protector. :good:
Ok, I guess I may have a problem with my screen (again). After removing one of those gadgetshieldz protectors (wet apply) the screen looks weird, especially when displaying white. It looks like there's some dirt on it making it look pixelated and greyish, while just a couple of weeks ago the whites were super crisp. It really seems like it's the glass to be blamed, because you can actually see the text sliding below this sort of "dirt" when you scroll. However when the screen is turned off it looks perfectly clean. I think the problem can be caused by the coating wearing off, possibly damaged by the screen protector...I also got a "stickier" area around the earpiece that has the coating obviously wearing off, because it collects dirt and smudges much more than the rest of the screen, but that would be a whole different story, I've heard of many others with the same issues, but frankly it doesn't even bother me. I'll try to get the phone replaced or at least repaired next week, this is ridiculous, I have a phone with an HD screen looking more fuzzy and pixelated than my GF's 710. You may say that I shouldn't have applied the screen protector and whatnot, but frankly I've been using these protectors on my old 800 for a year and the screen is mint. I'm afraid there's something very wrong with the coating of the 920, I suggest you to be very careful with screen protectors, maybe paradoxically going naked is less dangerous...
Anyone having similar issues?
I'm trying to collect some feedback from the users here, just to make sure that my screen isn't faulty. I'd like to use a screen protector on this guy because I'd like to keep it for quite some time, but obviously if it's a no go I'll just try to be careful...
The problem is the Gorilla Glass that the 920 has. It is not really Glass but more of a material similar to what they make safety glasses from. It can be etched by certain chemicals as well as mineral deposits in the water you used to apply it. You are supposed to used distilled water to apply those types of protectors. The best yet is to get a protector such as the Otterbox Defender that has the screen protector built in but is never actually secured to the screen in any way. it just makes contact as you press it. So are hard water stains and they might be able to be removed with lemon juice and cotton swaps.

Thanks for the tip...I'll try this out as soon as I get home. If the screen doesn't get clean I'll still try to get the phone repaired, I may get lucky. I'll report back here how it goes. One more thing, do you think that a DIY solution like Fusso Smartphone may do the trick if the damage is just on the coating?
Not sure how that will work since this display is not really glass. For me the phone is too expensive of an investment to try that on. I will just stick with my Otterbox Defender that yes the wireless charger works through.
I will be just coating the back of my yellow 920 to protect it from scratches using best skins ever will leave the front after reading this.
Just a quick update: the lemon juice trick didn't work, probably the damage is real, it's not just hardcore dirt or whatever. Also, I got that Fusso Smartphone thing in the mail today so I decided to take my chances and try it, and it doesn't seem to work. Sure the screen feels smoother but nothing other than that. Actually I'm not even sure the damage is in the coating, to be honest, because if it's just that you're not supposed to get noisy and dirty whites when the screen is on, just more smudges on the glass. Hopefully they'll do something about it at the repair center, maybe they'll cosider it a manifacturing defect and won't charge me for the repair, fingers crossed...
I'll report back.

I have a Zagg Ivisible Shield on but I haven't tried to remove it yet. I can say it sucks that Zagg only has the regular shield for the Windows Phone devices because the HD shield on my LG Optimus G is absolutely gorgeous but the one on my 920 has pits in it and is very sticky. I was going to try and get it replaced under warranty, if I do that I will see if the issue he talks about above happens.

Your right, I just took off my Zagg Invisible Shield after ordering a replacement and i see the same thing all in my White. Dammit, going to have to ask for a replacement.
For what it's worth, I originally had no screen protector on my 920. One day I accidentally dropped and stepped on the phone (was playing table tennis and it fell out of my pocket). The screen got a very nasty scratch right across the front. Luckily for me my earpiece died and I needed to get the phone replaced under warranty.
Got a replacement phone and chucked a screen protector on it as soon as I opened it. Absolutely no issues with it, even when replacing the protector. Admittedly I'm not using a wet-apply protector, which is definitely more obvious, but apparently it doesn't damage the coating.

Well, the whole point of the question was to get someone's opinion on a protector they have tried (good/bad) instead of blindly trying a random one.

Too bad then. Your phone won't survive a 1 story drop like mine will then. Ypu also can't step on yours and not have it damaged. Also what exactly is wrong with "one of those cases"? It fully protects your 600 USD investment from most dangers that a phone can encounter in it's life. Personally if it is about showing the phone of, I could care less. i don't need a status symbol. If I did I would have bought an iPhone <cringe>..
I have used the Otterbox for every phone I have owned till the day came to sell each one. At which time they all looked like they just came out of the box and could have easily been sold as brand new.
You wanted an opinion on a tried protector, well here you go.

I would advise not using any screen protector on a Gorilla 2 glass, which is very resistant though not indestructible. Screen protectors use sticky chemicals that tend to alter colors if only slightly.

I myself have been using a variety of matte screen protectors. Not to protect the screen, but for it to be more readable. I prefer matte over glossy. So far no issues.
Well, as Yogi Berra used to say, "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It." One question though: does this screen protector affect screen readibility in full light, which, considering, is quite good for the 920 -provided the brightness setting is on "auto", sunlight readibility on "auto" too. The possibilty to adjust the color profile (temperature and saturation) is also a good feature on the 920.
Zagg going brown
Has anyone also noticed zagg discolour on area of high use(my right side used for scrolling). This is my second protector and same thing happened. It has not damaged the actual phone, I have been using for almost full year now. I have backup one ready to install, as I don't want to be without during warranty replacement waiting time.

In my experience it doesn't impair readability, but if your installation has orange peel effect the reflections will be a bit annoying.

Yep zaggs sawk. They become yellowish very quickly compared to other brands and normally have the most orange peel effect. They sure are the toughest but they also look the worse.
Hi all,
I don't have any issues with the phone..it works well, the camera is great and I get good battery life.
Only thing that bothers me is that I get scratches on the camera glass (back of phone).
I keep it in my pocket, I never put anything else in the pocket with the phone.
Never put it in a bag..
Not sure how I keep getting scratches.
These are tiny scratches but I'm sure that in this rate I'll have them all over the glass in a year.
Really weird.
Anybody else is getting scratches there?
I have the H850 variant.
Thanks!

No but ive had my phone in a case since day 1. Have no scratches or issues and its always in my pocket when not in use.
Have you removed the camera protection film ?
Mine scratched easily, and eventually cracked. There's a thread somewhere talking about all the cracked camera glass issues. I replaced mine, they're available on eBay now.

Yeah I've seen them. Is the quality good enough?
In replacement I've bought for the G2\G4 I've noticed that light reflects differently on the China glass. I think it lacks some coating but I could be wrong.
With that in mind, this coating worth nothing if I need to put a protector on the glass.
I wish I could find a case with a little door for the camera. I don't mind open a little door when I want to take a photo.
There ok. I replaced my broken one so I could do a warranty exchange and I have a second one on hand in case the one on the new phone breaks too. I guess they're made out of acrylic so they shouldn't crack

I don't know about you guys, but I have to say this is the easiest screen to scratch of the g series phone since at least the g2. Has anyone else noticed this? I have a bunch of small scratches on the edges on the screen on the left and right that are small but noticeable.
Just check cos mine came with a screen protector on so if yours is the same then it's just that getting scratched.

I got mine and ripped the transportation foil of and installed the spigen Steinheil Screen protector. And stuffed it in a rugged armor case. I want my phone to be safe

Under the foil there is a factory fitted screen protector, on mine at least.

Same here, mine came with a screen protector already installed... I ordered mine online so the same day I pretty much ordered an Urban Armor Gear case, so I had that pretty much a day before the phone arrived from Koodo.
The only thing I've managed to scratch is the glass by the LED Flash on the camera, light scratches that may or may not come off with a buffing. I keep on touching the camera instead of the fingerprint sensor, if I grab the phone the wrong way... so I clean it with my shirt or hoody so that's probably where the scratches are coming from.

As others have pointed out, you must have left the plastic coating on the screen. Gorilla Glass 3 is not easy to scratch.
Not to be fasicious here but I would know if the screen protector was on the phone due to the sheen and raised edges. Definitely not that. The screen itself is fine, it's just the small bezel spaces around the screen that scratch easy

LOL, I hear you OP. I don't know how anyone could have a screen protector on their phone and not know. I don't use screen protectors because to me they always look terrible and are uglier then a few tiny scratches that I can barely see (which on my last 2 phones that are always in my pocket I have had 0 scratches). I just inspected my G6 and I don't see any scratches on the front. I think the whole front is covered by GG 3 which is strong against scratches.

Generally I agree, but the tempered glass protector is nearly impossible to notice. Clear, good coverage, and feels like original glass. Not like the plastic protector at all. I'm pretty rough on my phones and would really like to keep the phone in its naked form, but I don't want to risk it.

I have got plastic factory protection screen on that has barely any scratches.
Using the factory plastic screen for 2 weeks and surprised at how well its holding up to be honest
There TGSP are really nice. Just like using the original screen. Inexpensive too

Also, My G6 only came with what appear to be factory protection plastic, at least that is what it seems like to mesince it has a little white tab to remove it with and the phone did not come in a plastic sleeve, which is common these days.
On my V20 I left the factory protector on and it held up well
I received mine with a glass screen protector pre-applied which is nice to have. I have the 64GB/Korean version (LG-H870DS)

I know it's been awhile since you posted this message but I would like to know if you still have your phone. if you do I'm having the same problem right now I have a lot of tiny scratches on the edges of the front screen, the screen itself is not scratched deeply or noticeable at all when you turn on the display you can only see it on the edges when the screen is off and I have checked and I can't see any screen protection pre-installed on the display as some people have said. has anyone figured out why does the front screen scratches so easily my phone is the Korean version H870DS, it came sealed and i peeled the plastic protection as soon as I unboxed it ( phone is 2 weeks old) and has lot of scratches on the front and none on the back or Lensens
I had a Xperia Z5 previously for a year which i used with no case and no screen protector, barely got a scratch and i definitely treated it worse than my new G6

I received the exact same version of the phone from amazon about 2 weeks ago and I've got a lot of scratches on the front screen, how did you figure out yours came with a tempered glass pre-installed? I've checked on mine and I cannot see Any Factory screen protection, however the box came sealed and only had a plastic cover that obviously was only meant for shipping

Mine fell off from the 4th floor (to the pavement) and not even a single scratch.
I was holding my nexus 6p in one hand and the G6 in the other. I accidentally dropped the nexus (the metal back) onto the G6's screen, then it slid off onto the couch. Just from this, there are lots of tiny scratches on my G6.
