Fookin hilarious app!!! worked a treat on me back speaker :laugh:
I had exactly the same prob. The simple solution for this is to use a toothbrush. Yes you heard it right !! Just use a toothbrush to clean the front speaker grill. Same goes for the rear grill. And I bet, you will be amazed by the result. You will hear ur opposite as loud as it ment to be......
Hope this would help

The best method hands down is using canned compressed air. It's usually used by computer hardware enthusiasts to remove dust from PCB's, fans and whatnot.
Other than that I have a really tiny fine bristled brush that came with my beard trimmer they also work.
A bit of blu-tac works a charm for the speaker grill, just push it into the holes and the dust will stick as you peel the blu-tac away

Can also say compressed air is the best method. I used an air line at work and its made calls a lot clearer to hear.

Surely compressed air will just push the debris into the speaker enclosure, which isn't the best solution as far as I can see.

Any enclosure to a speaker is behind, so no but your point is still valid in the sense that it will dislodge anything stuck in the grills/holes and it will end up inside the casing of the phone. This actually happens naturally in all electronic devices.
It's damn near impossible to remove debris from the holes and not have it go inside the phone.

You may want to regulate the pressure though, too much will tear the speakers apart.

Yeah! haha We don't want anyone going to their local fuel station and using the compressed air machines there!
Wet wipe and a toothbrush sorted it out for me! Can actually see led now too, forgot how bright it was initially lol!

I have seen that many people around here wanted a stylus that works with capacitive touchscreens like ours.
This guide :- http://www.instructables.com/id/Poor-Mans-Capacitive-Stylus/?ALLSTEPS
It just works like a charm.
To ensure that the phone does't get any scratches,tie a small piece of a plastic bag around the thumb tack but keep it in mind that your hand should touch the clip.
... Yea, its okay,but Soooo mannyy scratchezz on mah screen broo!.
yeah..................you may try tying a small cut out piece of a plastic bag around the tack. No scratches from then!!

Hi is this sticker supposed to be removed? I can't freaking get it off why did they do this?
Its a clear film and I think its on the glass part only not the chrome becuase I cant remove it for the life of me
It's part of the packaging process. I removed mine using my fingernails.
Yeah, I removed mine as well. Its not a complete piece either. The center is cut out, so its o shaped.

But it makes the center of the lens recessed. Fewer scratches if you lay the phone on a flat surface?

Exactly.
Also, people forget that black area around the camera lens serves a purpose. Without that, your pictures are terrible (see: early versions of white phones).

Use a toothbrush as @athulele suggested and rub it over the speaker and front speaker grill... Make sure you do it gently otherwise it might damage the LED which is located in the front...
And after that, blow some air into the speakers as some dust still remains...

From a post I read at android central:
"I've heard of people using scotch tape or something similar and rubbing it with a finger/fingernail to kind of work it into the holes a little, then peel it off and it supposedly removes most of the junk."

That's right! The best option, if not you can spray a bit of isopropyl alcohol and with a toothbrush you make circles gently and it will be clean, both options are safe, watch out not to spray too much just to be sure, good luck

Hey be careful with the brush... I have read instances of people breaking their speakers accidentally as the bristles can enter through the grills.
