Hey guys, was looking for effective methods that specific XPlay owners use to clean their screen. Thanks for the info!
I've just got a specsavers glasses cloth, which works fine.
I usually use a silk piece of matter and a low-concentrated soap water. I used it for years previously on PCs and laptops now on phones...never had an issue.
I always only use microfiber cloths with good results when doing a full clean. Otherwise I usually just use the shirt I have on at the moment.
I use the micro fibre cloth or whatever from my iPhone 4, its the same as the specsaver glasses fibre cloth.
Spit and your shirt to wipe it

I dropped my phone yesterday and since then I see a small visible red dot on my screen! do u think i'll get this phone replaced from sprint?
no!........
Is there physical damage to the phone other than the dot? Assuming there is not, and no water damage, they would probably repair/replace if you don't mention it was from a fall.
It's bleeding, apply direct pressure!
Sent from some phone.
When I had the OG Epic I had a pixel go bad so there was one green dot continuously on my phone. It drove me nuts. It was only a week old. I took it to get exchanged and they told me that there had to be 5 dead pixels for it to be eligible for exchange. I had to do some light negotiations saying I bought 3 lines, insurance on all, accessories, etc all from the Sprint store and they finally swapped it for a new one.

It was a question. It is allowed to ask a question. Op isn't trying to fraud sprint. Besides why have protection that covers a fall if you can't drop it. Op take it in or get an app that helps stuck pixels.

Bought my phone yesterday at BestBuy....I let my friend borrow it and she scrtched with her bag....a small scratch on the left side....ohhhhh myyy goossshhh I feel so horrible now....anyway to fix it?

The side where? On the screen, the front bezel, the battery cover?? If its on the case of the phone somewhere i suppose you could find replacement parts online and swap all the internals if you were so inclined. If the screen itself is scratched, other than some hair brained schemes like blow torches and sand paper i would say you are stuck with the scratch. The good news is a decent screen protector film should disguise anything other than a major disfiguring.

I worked at Best Buy. If you are within 30 days they will probably take it back. Also, Black Tie is a protection plan that covers everything but lost and stolen. I will be sure not to help out in this thread any more though.

I had people bring back phones that had water damage. Half our managers would say take it back and the other half would think about it and then may or may not do it. If he just got it yesterday he could reason that it was too easy to scratch since it is supposed to have gorilla glass. I've returned more with less reason because the customer was nice.

I stated that I wasn't going to help because my advice was disliked. But, if it was my store I'd give you some Crap then help you out if you were nice and reasonable. You could also get the protection plan. I'd be tons more likely to help you if you had that.

You don't really have to do either one, but if you are trying to swap it in store I would, and you have to have a reason other than the scratch. If you are using GSBTP you need to break something on it so they'll send it off. If you use GSBTP you don't need to unroot because that doesn't matter.

Find a less clumsy friend.
Clumsy people can be a pain
would it be bad if you just swap it out saying you actually want the blue one but buy the screen protector to hide the scratch, and then a couple days later just go back and switch to a new white one saying you actually preferred the white one to the blue one?
Get Ghost Armor installed on it. It will fill in the scratch and protect it from now on.

So the "Beatsaudio" logo can be rubbed off with non-acetone nail polish remover, and not damage the phone at all.
I'm just wondering, can the "Verizon 4GLTE" logo be rubbed off, or is it etched? Anyone willing to try?
Before you call me crazy, here's a photo of a Sprint HTC One with the "Beatsaudio" logo rubbed off. The Sprint HTC One does not have a "Sprint" logo so it was never there to begin with.
I think it is...sexy...naked...ooooh.
I dont want to be the guinea pig but you can clearly feel that these logos are screen printed on or something and not etched, so I would assume they could come off.
Go to best buy and try it on theirs...

it will come off..
cleanly though, another story, I agree though, would love to ridit.
It feels similar to the Beats print, so I assume it could be removed similarly. Not willing to try on my own device, though. A non-clear case will cover it right up, anyway.
Try Goof off. It wont harm the aluminum(as long as thats what it is and it isnt coated) and it should get rid of the logo's just dont get it on the screen and be careful with it. This stuff will melt plastic(slowly), so dont get it on anything plastic. Just put it on a paper towel and wipe it off(if it will). If it will come off, it will start to smear....then you know it will. Just slowly get it off by using more goof off a little bit at a time.
Well thats my idea. I take no responsibility for any harm done to your device! LOL
I definitely won't be trying it on my shiney new One, but I will admit that is SEXXXY without the logos on the back.
I must be one of the only people who don't care about things like this...

It feels like the VeriSign logos will begin to rub off and get scratched on all their own with time. I'm not willing to try it yet either but feels and looks plausible lol

Some people do, some people don't. I wouldn't say that I care that it's there, it doesn't affect the way the phone works, but if it's removable, I'll remove it. I removed the badges/emblems from my car and truck, because I think they look better without them. Same sort of thing with the Verizon 4G LTE logo. It's just a preference.
I'll take the chance and try it once I get my One and will update everyone on the method I used and photos.

From what I read, people used non acetone nail polish remover. I know for sure it removes the 'beatsaudio' but not sure if it will remove the Verizon logo.
I'd try it but I haven't got my One yet
well we already KNOW that the beats audio logo can come off. just need to find out what gets the vzw one off. Will doing this ruin my warranty that I bought from squaretrade though? I'd love a clean back but not at the expense of zero backup plan...

So now we got two confirmations. Maybe we can get LG to confirm it as well? Can someone record a video of it under running water or inside a pool? If this is true, this is an amazing news and should've been a feature called out by LG against Samsung.

There's a water damage sticker clearly present on the side of the battery area. I highly doubt they made it a hidden feature. It may do well to protect itself, but i still don't trust it in water until there's more evidence of it not being harmful.
Sent from my LG G3
I kinda like that they didn't mention it. People won't be idiots with their phones, but if something does go crashingly wrong there's protection in place. I really do wonder how many people have been downright stupid with their S5's because of commercials showing them being dropped in the ocean and whatnot.
My case keeps it waterproof, so I am good to go.... I think, lol!
I used mine in a rain storm the other day with no concern or issue. I've done that with all my phones, camera, tablets, etc though and never have had an issue in my life.
