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

Tear it down and remove the sand.
I'd recommend while you have it apart that the sliding mechanism get blown out with canned air, wiped clean with an alcohol wipe, dried completely, lubed up with spray silicone lubricant on a Q-Tip, and any/all excess silicone wiped with a dry Q-Tip.
Can't find a teardown video, but if you've taken apart one cell phone, you can apply the same principles to pretty much any other. Get some safety pry's, a really small Torx driver, eyeglass repair kit for the philips screws, and rubber-tipped tweezers for any ribbon-locks. Just take it slow and diagram out the entire process on a couple sheets of paper, noting step-by-step.

good to hear. i once (more than once...) dropped my droid 1 in a puddle and it ended up with silt or some very fine **** in the slider. it would slide ok but just the feel of it, i knew there was junk in there. i put alcohol on the sliders and opened/closed it a few times, applying the alcohol like once a day for about a week then cleaned it out with compressed air. worked great. also worked well when whiskey ended up in there!

Short answer is no. It is however easy to taint the water if not in a closed loop. This also assumes there is no aluminum and copper mixing.

Someone asked about fragility of G Pro
jesi.james said:
Im also a bit more concerened about phone durability. I take care of my things but I want a little more cushion for when accidents happen. Is the OG Pro just as fragile as the s4? Has anyone managed to accidentally crack theirs?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Looking on it in near sight I've already noticed one thing. The glass doesn't cover full size of the phone but instead has .2mm spare space to the edges of phone. Also the glass in not surrounded by banking board. Also the glass has beveled edge, about 70° sharp.
So I presume that the glass would not crack even if the phone would be dropped from 6 feet height. Unless of course it would be dropped flat fall on screen
Another indirect proof of that is here. Watch Note 2 has cracked glass when G Pro doesn't have severe damages
If you think this device is drop proof you are delusional. I haven't watched the linked video nor do I need to. The front is glass and could crack from a 6" fall. Many things factor in here including luck.

Well, someone eventually will test it, people drop their phones here and there.
And also I'll attach here link to this topic Optimus G = UNBREAKABLE
Well no phones drop proof obviously but ive had 2 friends that had lg phones and ive had one myself and I can tell u theyre probably the some of the best built on the market. My connect was dropped, thrown, stepped on, kicked and all manner of torment and worked like the day I bought it till the day I traded it in on this. Ive seen lg phones survive multiple (so many I lost count) drops that would have sent a samsung or htc device to the scrap heap...

Exactly. My wife has a One X. She has dropped, thrown it onto a hard floor with force, and let's our 3 old play with it like it's his. It has a ton of scratches, but hasn't broken. Some were saying when it released that it was super fragile. I guess since hers has been abused it must be the toughest phone ever made. Right? No, she's been extremely lucky.

I'm assuming by patio you mean stone/brick/concrete/pavers, right? If that's the case, most phones wouldn't be too fond of an 18" drop.
Yeah, but I've had other phones hit asphalt from 4-5 feet high on the corner and survive with only nick in the bezel. My post is just a warning that this phone is definitely not "drop proof". I've only had the OGP for four days and already have to shell out $ for an insurance claim. Sad thin is my case I ordered is supposed to show up today.

Yeah but that was the shear impact that destroyed it. Defender has it's own screen protector to cover the screen. Nothing more than a thin piece of plastic. I actually feel the commuter has more impact protection cause it has the harder case behind the soft shell thus dispersing the impact over a wider area allowing the soft shell to absorb it. And like I said, I highly doubt anything would have survived that.

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
