Do you think Is it OK to washing charging dock? I don't think this thing has any electronic parts.
I wash the contacts with a toothbrush and ipa ,no problems at all... But as you may know ipa is extremely volatile, leaving no residue after some seconds. You can't wash it with water

Quick question: Is it okay to clean the entire phone using a damp cloth? Will it ruin the oleophobic coating or mess up the capacitive touchscreen?
Thanks.
Damp cloth is fine as long as you don't let water get into the home button, speaker, microphones, headphone jack, USB port and buttons. Personally, I'd just clean the glass area and at the edges, use a dry cloth. Oh yeah, I'd use microfibre cloth only as it cleans better while requiring less rubbing.
I'd say using water is the only thing you should use, no chemicals what so ever.
I personally scrub the galaxy under running tap water every day. It does tend to get very hot when I do so so and emits purring noises.
I assume this means it enjoys the procedure and in fact it often takes a break immediately afterwards.

Just flash a custom rom for HTC
I actually use for screen a small bottle of water with a small amount of vinegar in it . Screen as in TFT and any similar screen microfibre cloth barely damped never damaged any screen over five years .

I'm loving the GS3 i9300 but some dust has accumulated between the gap on the bottom of the phone. I tried using a toothbrush to clean it out, but it's almost as if the dust has settled under the bottom part of the glass. That can't be, right? The AMOLED panel is supposedly fused to the rest of the touchscreen to prevent this from happening, or so I thought.
Has anyone been able to successfully clean this dust/lint build-up? I know I'm being OCD about it, but for the price paid I think it's a valid aesthetic complaint.
cleaning
have you tried with a toothpick? or a needle wrapped in something?
yes , i did that ,
just use a wet toothbrush
A cotton swab with very little rubbing alcohol (aka isopropyl alcohol) will do the trick.
The cotton is thin enough to get in the space and unlodge the dust particles. And, if somehow the dust is "glued" to the device (for example, particles of sugar or candy), the isopropyl alcohol will dissolve whatever is holding the particle without damaging the phone.
Make sure you use very little alcohol, and press the cotton swab firmly against the gap.

This is a great suggestion. I tried it and when the alcohol was wet it looked like it did the job perfectly. However, as everything dried the dust particles remain! Any other suggestions?
Mine 10 times worse than that but tbh it doesn't me at all, no matter how many times you clean it the dust will come back.
So the only other option is to take it back and get either a white one which doesn't show the problem as bad, or exchange it for another hoping the gaps are properly sealed around the phone.
When the time comes to sell mine, i will clean the edges with a cotton swab and some alcohol, until then im just gonna live with it.
And I am by no means a wise man.
Turns out the Rezound doesn't do well with a rubbing alcohol bath, even high concentrations (99%). Spilled some on my phone and it's causing soft rubber foam pieces to come apart...and has got under the screen, causing severe degradation of the backlight. My Incredible (ADR6300) was a better built phone and the LCD was sealed, so when it got soaked after my cat knocked a glass of water on it, I used rubbing alcohol followed by a bag of rice to displace and absorb the moisture...and it turned out just fine. The ADR6425 on the other hand, seems everything is held together by adhesive...
So yeah. Don't soak your phone in rubbing alcohol.
I used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean a lot of the tight crevices on my old Rezound. I never had any problems. Then again, I also used a screen protector.

I assume you didn't SOAK the entire thing though...

Well yes, because why would I ever submerge my entire phone in a liquid.

I actually did this to my Inc, although it was in pieces. Alcohol seeks out and displaces moisture, and evaporates cleanly. However as a solvent it's not very kind to some milder plastics, foam, rubber, etc. Durrr...new Rezound on the way.
Hi everyone! My question is how to remove the back cover? I have never done any repairs on this model. I found only one video that says SM T510 the guy removed the screen just to take the back off. Thanks for your help
Watch some teardown vids.
It's an LCD display right? Do Not allow alcohol *or any solvents near the display. They can poison and destroy it!!!
Generally heat and careful prying with plastic picks are how it's done. Take your time.
Verify the correct method and have the right tools for the job.
Understand ESD protocols and practices if disassembling the components ie display, mobo.
Out of circuit they are suspectable to ESD damage.
At the very least make sure the room humidity is 50% or higher. A earth grounded ESD mat and wrist strap are best.
*with AMOLED displays you can use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to make it easier to break the seal adhesive. You don't have this option. LCDs are very sensitive to solvent poisoning. Their edges aren't sealed as they need to be able to equalize to outside air pressure, they use a semipermeable membrane.
My wife dropped my wheelchair on my old Moto Z and decimated the display. Have done the replacement but for some reason I can't get any adhesive to actually stay on the frame. Glue doesn't set, tape doesn't stick. I've used all the usual repair adhesives and I'm stumped. Any ideas what might be going on?
I have gone through both tape and adhesive B7000 on multiple Moto Zs. Always no problem, I scraped old one away and cleaned by alcohol after and glue always worked.
