AMOLED screen cleaning - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a weird problem...
I clean my screen regulary within few days, always with my t-shirt or screen cloth.But always when i breath hot air i get this bubbles, which I can feel under my nails but whitin a 2 seconds the screen comes back to normal, and I can't feel or see them until the screen is pretty dirty...
This bubbles must be from the fat on our fingers and sweat....
I tried with LCD cleaner spray and it didn't solve my problem even if I scratch it down with my nails, it can't go off...Pissed
Does anyone has similar problems?

woah dude!
If there hasn't been some kinda film/screen protector put on that you don't know about, I'd be returning that quick smart.

Well, i talked to SiMobil, which is working under vodafone here in Slovenia, and they said that this will probably look as my foult... :-(
I hope they'll help me, rather than returning it as working...

scratch on my screen

Hello everybody,
I know they are a lot of post about this scratches, but yesterday, I've made a scratch in my screen, and I don't know what I must do? Can I try with tooth Pasta, or is it too dangerous? Or there other efficient products, for screens like the desire?
Thanks,
Thomas
A good screen protector may effectively hide it
Hello,
Yes i've heared this, I will but a screen protector. But do you know if it's possible to make this scratch really "disippear"??
no. you cannot "compound" out the scrath using toothpaste. you will more than likley make the screen much worse trying this. just live with it and put on a protector. Did you find out how you scratched it? keys? sand? grit? dirt? The screen seems quite tough against everyday things, so it must have been a piece of salt/sand or some other cuboid.
yes, i was very surprised when i saw that scratch. I had nothing in my pocket when it happened. Just maybe sand.
I've tried all kind of household remedies on my old phone once I changed it: the only result was perhaps that it lost transparency on the whole screen, but the scratch remained mostly there. Yes, toothpaste is probably the only thing that will do something to it but you have to push so hard while using it that you will end up damaging the smooth screen around the scratch
If you really want to try, then Brasso, not toothpaste. But I would put a protector on. Some say a dab of vaseline on the scratch can "fill it"
I did hear t cut should do it. I scratched mine while waiting for my zag screen, luckily the phone was faulty and kept crashing so orange replaced it so getting a new phone repaired my scratch lol. Zag screen arrived same day as new phone, do they ever stop feeling tacky mines been on nearly a week?

Do NOT use toothpaste or brasso on the screen. You can't repair scratches on glass without specialised equipment. The toothpaste/brasso buffing remedy only works on plastics.
Is there any dust under the screen? If there is, HTC will replace it for you as that was a known problem with the first few batches.

I'm doubtful they do, cant verify this. I got a refund from Zagg and just got a Martin Fields protector (same price as zagg for twin pack on mobilefun), and I can report a much better experience; the feel is so close to the original the difference will be easily forgotten (if noticed at all), it was a damn sight easier to fit (2-5mins, no bubbles and no dust (if you're careful)), v. clear, and is washable/reusable.
Can recommend!
ok, thank you for all those answers. I will to try change my Desire with an new one in the shop were I bought it. He's only 1 week old, it's not normal to have a scratch, with a normal use.

Invisible Shield

Hi, I applied my Invisible Shield to my Desire last night, and even tho I followed the description described, I got some bubbles, they aren't very big, but there are like 10-15 bubbles around the screen, I've heard the bubbles should disepear after 3-5 days, is that true?
And I still haven't tried to turn on the device yet, just a bit afraid if my screen will be broken when that "sponge" is still inside those bubbles and the device is on and im when im using it and probably will be touching those bubbles sometimes, anyone that can tell me for sure if this is true or not?
I applied one and it was damned awful. Too tacky for a touch screen device. All the bubbles disappear but you'll still have small artefacts under the film that will drive you crazy the whole time it's there. Even if you laid it on perfectly there will be a strange rainbow effect on places.
I complained and they sent me a new one, but I have yet to apply it now after almost a month. The material the phone is made of doesn't seem to scratch and the screen is flawless.
Okay, well I just wanna give it a try and see how it is, but you dont think there's any danger with the sponge inside the bubbles even when I use the phone then?
I tried one for my Milestone when I got that. I ended up with a few specs of dust under the cover that I couldn't get rid of.
Ended up trashing the thing, waste of time and money.
Flawless Screen!

Yes thats true, to be honest I don't think you'll need a screen protector for the Desire, check this guy out: ( http://www.scratchdesire.de/ ) you can clearly see almost nothing happens to the screen (except tha fact that poor guy has dropped his phone and broke the whole thing)....although I must admit, the only thing that bothers me (and made me think of getting a screen protector) with the screen is the finger marks left on it,,regardless of how clean your fingers are it will leave a greasy pattern on the screen.
Aitese, actually it's how you manage to put it on the device. I can say mine is ... AMAZING no artifacts, no trouble using it. Feeling better for having protection.
As for bubbles - the big ones should be taken out as soon as you put it on the screen. The small ones disappear in a few days or a bit wearing in the pocket. You can turn on the device mere 15 mins after fully positioning the invisible shield, but it would have some weird colors, because it will still be wet under the protector. This would disappear in a day or two tops. (next morning for me).
Also having the invisible shield saved my device from a biiig fat scratch on the back

I applied mine perfectly. I've used the product before on my mp3 players in the past. I apply it in the bathroom after leaving the shower running, takes all the dust particles out of the air. I also wash my hand. There was no dust or particles under the film, but the film itself must be FLAWLESS, which in most cases it isn't. If you feel your touch responsiveness is the same with the skin on then good for you, but for me it causes too much friction to be a functional touch screen cover.

I'm in the same case, applied it yesterday, looks a lot better today... hopefully the very few left bubbles will be gone in a few days
Thanks for all the replies, I will try it for a few days now and see if its ok to have on. Atm I dont really notice the bubbles while the screen/light is on, but I hope its gone in a few days anyway

Anyone else notice their screen gets more sensitive with lots of fingerprints on it?

I've been noticing lots of phantom taps and frustratingly, times where the s pen would draw on the screen while I was lifting it up to write another letter, causing my writing to become a slurred mess of words as if I had never lifted the pen.
Today I was bored and played around with the screen when I noticed that happening, then I decided to clean it off with a piece of kleenex and a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol. Bam, problem gone.
Soooo.. just how much fingerprint/face grease is enough to do that? I have really dry skin so it's not like my screen was even that dirty to begin with.I feel as if I might have to ask for the phone to be swapped again as it's HYPERSENSITIVE sometimes.
Not sure to be honest with you cause I am always cleaning my screen lol

Yeah, that only happens when mine is quite dirty. And it already feels like the freakin' summer here so that doesn't help things. I have a large microfiber/silk wipe that I keep around for TV's and computer screens after cleaning them with traditional methods to remove the fine smears. Maybe you you keep one around cause either it's dirtier than you think or your digitizer (capacitive touch screen) is screwed.
I don't think mine is doing it because it's dirty anymore, it just does it because the digitizer is a piece of junk.
it's been acting up thus morning and I cleaned it and it's still acting up.
grrr hate this phone sometimes
I don't have this issue as I am constantly cleaning my screen. Maybe a little OCD of me, so be it.

Looks almost like some sort of adhesive. Is it on top of the glass or is it actually under it?

Looks like some of the outer surface screen coatings have started to rub off. Definitely need to send it back for replacement.
Either adhesive that leaked out (if on the surface) or delamination (if under). Definitely get it replaced.
I cant exactly understand what it is... i cant get it replaced sadly , it look like its something on the outer surface of the panel but i cant understand if its some extra adhesive on Top or its some kind of Peel of in that spot...
Looks like adhesive as there is a drop also in the stain... tried with some alcohol but it wont go off...
Also if i take a cloth it gets cleaned and becomes smooth...but later on it may reappear , i think due to dust going on it..

Cuz it first went home and 9 days later arrived at me because im a seaman and they sent it with joining Crew member....
DOA is for 7 days...
So i can only now repair it

Question Defect in screen coating?

Anybody else had this?
Went to apply a screen protector today and when I wiped the screen with the alcohol wipe I could see clearly 2 small, and I mean small circles about halfway up the screen. Initially thought it was a couple of water marks or something sticky but it wasn't
Can't feel them on the surface and looking under the light they look almost like when you get a spec of dust under an applied screen protector. EE replacing tomorrow as it's within 14 days but can't see this as a common fault after having a quick Google.
Hope it's just a one off manufacturing fault but worth a check. So hard to see but if you steam the screen up with your breath you will see them.
Tried to show the circles in the attached, one breathed on, the other normal.
Looks like dust got in between the glass and screen when they were putting it together.
