Hi what can I use to clean the phone touch screen (SE x8)? It's always oily. My phone have screen protector, it's a plastic sticker on the touch screen.
simply clean Fingers
I use a small microfibre cleaning rag without any liquids
I use a damp tissue or cloth followed by a dry one. Works as well if not better than the fancy stuffs.
I have a microfiber cloth also but after a cple days wet paper towel then dry it with the cloth
Any glass cleaner, applied to tissue/cloth and wiped over screen will do the trick.
glass cleaner will leave a residue behind because of the ammonia. after you take a shower just wipe it with your damp towel. Does the trick perfectly
Brasso gadget cleaner i use it for my streak its sh?t hot

I think that could get moisture inside the device, which is probably not a good thing :S
you can use white vinegar small amount 1/2 and 1/2 water on the damp cloth and then dry it will remove the grease and slime your fingers put on the screen/protector
Micro fiber cloths for the win... or your T-shirt.

I use rubbing alcohol and wipe it with microfiber. So far it works okay on my HTC HD2, but cannot be sure if the alcohol will do any damage to the screen.
Try windows/white board cleaner WITHOUT amonia.
I also use microfibre rag without any liquids.
Damp cloth , dry with microfibre cloth
Mouth vapor and t-shirt!
Microfiber will do!
Try Zagg wipes. You can get them off zagg's website (cant post links sorry)
First thins first that I have learned, before touching any tech nology, wash your hands! Use antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer to remove the grease, next, take a nice microfiber cloth and gently rub the phone in circles, wax on, wax off motion. Once you have complted this step and the creen is completely clean, gently glide your clean finger across the screen in a swiping motion... see how xlean it feels

Seems so simple doesn't it. Unless you are playing beach volleyball just prior to cleaning your phone you'll never scratch the glass with a t-shirt.
Microfiber and cleaning solution, LOL.

Any recommendations for weekly cleaning of the EVO? I picked up some Windex for Electronics wipes and some baby powder to prevent "oil slicks" when using my Ballistic case. The Windex is supposed to help with anti-static and help keep dust and dirt off of the screen. I've tried alcohol wipes and eyeglasses solution from Costco, water. They help a little.
Not sure about some of the pricier options like ZAGG foam.
What kind of cleaning cloths do you recommend?

Windex will work a lil bit tho don't want it to get in the ports. If your using a ballastic case no need for baby powder if you have a screen protector already on your phone it fills the air pocket between the screens so no oil slick effect I had the same case.
Cleaning products seem excessive. Just need a dry cloth or lightly soaked with water to wipe it down. Your phone doesn't get that dirty, does it?
Is this for real???? It is a piece of glass, surrounded by plastic. You don't need anything special to clean it. Windex or any other normal clean and paper towel will clean it. Stop trying to make this more special and complicated than it is.

I took off the anti-glare screen protector that was included in the case (not the outer clear screen). So now it's just the screen pressing against the outer clear screen. The baby powder trick works well. Apply baby powder. Then wipe up with a wet cloth. No oil slicks so far.

I'm a bit of a neat freak. I like my evo and case as clean as possible. I'm trying an anti-static wipe to cut down on the dust inside and outside of my case. Hopefully, that'll help.
yeah I have been using isopropyl alcohol and I have had no issues. I would be careful with windex. Some of the bottles will have ammonia in it and that is know to cloud certain plastics/poly-ish things. Like no windex on tinted windows, as that can cloud the cars window tint.
Just a microfiber cloth and a amonia free cleaner here , I think I use glass plus its amonia free . I clean mine daily , I work in the heat and dirt so my screen protector is contstantly greasy either from oil from machines or from my face when I make a phone call . This cleans it up rather well .
50/50 isopropyl alch and water, i spritz it in to the air and move the phone's screen through the mist so there won't be too much overspray, it should be plenty. Then i hit it with one of those yellow costco microfibers, does the trick every time.
I stay away from windex for electronics as iso is enough to get fingerprints and grease off.
I guess I'll have to settle for the alcohol Costco wipes. They're like 200 small packets for $8.39. Are they safe to use on lcd screens?

I guess this windex for electronics wipes is going back. They're $4.99 at Target.

Baby powder trick only lasts for a few days and is annyoing when your in direct sunlight or indrect light looks milky.
the screen itself is not the lcd panel, but a glass digitizer on top of the screen, so yes, anything that is gentle enough for an lcd directly will work on the glass....since its glass.
I use spit and my shirt lol. It gets the job done.

micro fiber cloth is all you need
Micro fiber cloth + a mixture of half water and half rubbing alcohol. Will clean it up real nice.
Rubbing Alcohol kills germs won't damage your phone, also breaks down oils and evaporates. Just pour it on and wipe it off as needed. Its what I always use
Hmm I use my shirt, or jeans or whatever I have on me lol. Wasn't aware that special things were needed to clean the screen. It's gorilla glass, nothing aside from grinding sand or rocks on the screen is going to easily scratch it.
Hey all
Just got my hands on a Midnight Robin, and holy crap the back side is full of my fingerprints and some oil from my hand lol, which are leaving ****ty marks
Is there any way to clean them ? I tried a dry cloth and a glasses non-alcoholic spray cleaner, none worked.
I dont want to get a case, i love using my phones naked
Thank you <3
High percentage isopropyl alcohol. 70% is fine, but I'd go with 90% if they have it, or anhydrous but that's not as widely available.
Or any spray electronics cleaner, like pledge or windex. Spray a little onto a soft lint-free cloth, and wipe the phone down with that.
There's nothing stopping you from using alcohol and other cleaners on the back. Some screens, particularly iPhones, (I am not sure about the robin) have a oleophobic coating that is removed if anything but a damp cloth is used to clean it. For the back, mild detergents, isopropyl alcohol are both fine. Anything that isn't glass won't have a oleophobic coating.

I will try that. Thank you
I agree. I just got mine as well, and it's a HUGE fingerprint magnet. I just used some denatured alcohol (basically the same as what was recommended above) and it cleans it up super easy.
Hey all, probably a 1 in a 1,000,000 situation happened to me this morning. I was fixing something in the house with Gorilla Glue gel super glue and dumb me touched the inner screen with some residue on my finger. I didn't notice it until a few hours later and there were 4ish small marks that looked like scratches but were glue prints. I freaked out, OMG what I have just done. Thank the Lord, I got it all removed.
1. Took alcohol prep wipe to screen and lightly rubbed until pad dry, it removed a little but not much.
2. Laid dry alcohol wipe on marks, then applied Goo Gone to pad. Lightly rubbed, and left for 10min to soak.
3. After soaking rubbed lightly the cotton pad soaked in Goo Gone, like 80% of the mark is now gone.
4. Took a fresh new Mr Clean Magic Eraser standard, wet it, squeezed it, and rubbed the remaining marks gently, to my prayers, it removed all the remaining marks.
No scuffs, no marks, no sign of it ever happening. Whew!
LUCKY and good on you for getting it cleaned! Thanks for the tip and I hope I am never in this situation!
Lucky is right!
I HATE CA fingers, that's what we call it when you have that stuff all over your fingers that's hard and even harder to get off.
Just remember the cleaner your fingers are the longer that protector will stay pristine. At MOH2 it doesn't take much to abrade it.
I act if superglue is acid. (Which it is)
And make sure to not have anything else around. And always deep wash my hands before touching anything else.

I see what you did there...heh
Just a warning. I just opened my Fold, and my finger slipped. My nail then caught on the edge of the front screen protector. Now has a tiny scratch, but loads of bubbles and a couple with speck of dust (so impossible to remove). It's not a massive problem, but it is annoying.
It's really easy to do, so please be aware of that when opening.
Is this a screen protector you applied?

No, factory installation.
take it off and install a new one
If you are careful, here is what I did...
Removed the factory protector
Rinsed the screen protector under cold water
Used a lint-free cloth to dry
Used Scotch Tape rolled inside out (sticky side out) and removed any lingering dust particles (Phone and Screen Protector)
Used a small spray bottle (that, interestingly enough, came from another screen protector install kit) and sprayed a small amount of Rubbing Alcohol on the screen
Placed Screen Protector back on phone
Pushed all the alcohol/bubbles out
Wipe with lint free cloth and let sit for a few mins to really dry out
Was it worth it? In the end? No, I ended up replacing it eventually anyway (about a week without issues initially), but once you try this, the screen protector never adheres to the phone the same again anyway. So forget all that mess and get a new one and put it on.
IF you try this, just know that it will, probably, last you long enough to get a new one and install it. Great in a pinch if you have the time to do it.

If you install one yourself do it in the bathroom after running hot water through the shower (Suggested to me by another member).
Or otherwise jack up the humidity in the room to help reduce static and get dust out of the air.
Wear cotton.
I like to use wet apply hydrocell screen protectors (Gorilla IQ Sheild) on my N10+'s but any dust can screw up the installation. Cleaning clothes have to be 100% lint free.
