So I attempted to put a screen protector on my phone that required water and I pretty much fried my screen. I'm pretty sure I need to replace the LCD at this point but is there anything else I could possibly do without having to resort to that? Thanks.
How can you fry the screen by applying a screen protector , it's a sealed unit - even the speaker holes are waterproof.

Hi,
You could try putting it in a box of rice - sometimes that can help draw the water out. Just make sure to cover the 3.5 jack, you dont want rice going down there.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I'd love to know the steps you took applying this screen protector,
Because I've applied countless protectors, all wet.
& I soak mine more than recommended.

It happens to be before too. I remove the water using a hair dryer. I believe the water enter the screen due to the gap at the bottom of the screen.

Dropped mine into water and dried out after a few hour. Water was under the screen.

Have read toothpaste, baking powder or baby powder mixed with water, can remove or dull them. Has anyone had any tried and true methods they use? Just worried ill try one of those and it will make new scratches!

Useful AND helpful!
I wouldn't try it if I were you... the screen is scrstch resistant. You coul end up having to remove the entire top-layer of the screen ...
Don't know how it is with the gorilla glass, but on my mp3player trying to remove scratches on a scratch resistant screen made it worse PLUS its very hard to get any effect at all on such a hard screen...

Thank you for an at least informative reply
Really? No one has gotten scratches that they haven't tried to remove?
I would describe what i have almost as a blemish(?) and not scratches. You can move your fingernail across it and not feel any type of cut or ravine in the glass. There more aesthetic that physical i think. A lighter drifted across it sitting in the car. No pressure or anything. So i'm sure these can be removed...but how!!
You could try a place that repairs autoglass. I know they have stuff that gets cracks out so I'm sure they could squeeze a little for ya. Dunno if it will work but who knows

FYI- I tried both toothpaste and baking soda on my old nokia which had a plastic screen. It made no difference, didn't help or hurt. So I wouldn't think it would work on glass.
I've used jeweler's rouge and oil on glass before, it works to remove very light scratches but takes a ton of elbow grease. So I wouldn't recommend that either.
There are products that fill scratches in glasses or on cars. You might want to consider one of those.
Good Luck

Having done bar work for many years, I can confirm the Brasso does an excellent job of cleaning brass and other metals. Can't say I would want to try and polish my screen with it though, its messy and it smells.

Google search seems to say that is the #1 method for cell phone scratches though...hmmm...ty for your input
I had some scratches on my screen which isn't visible except under sunlight. I put my phone in my pockets alone. My keys are in a seperaate pocket. And I as far as I know gorilla glass is suposed to be anti-scratch. And I remmember that I read somewhere that I can ask for a replacement if I had a scratch on the gorilla glass. So anyone haf similar issue and managed to get a replaceme?

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?

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 dropped my GPro out of my lap when I was getting out of my truck and it hit the asphalt pretty hard on a corner and barely nicked it. The phone pretty much looks flawless. Seems durable to me as long as u don't drop it face first. Lol

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.

The adhesive should cover the entire glass plate...Not just the edges. ..
The issue you are having is the result of air space between the plate and digitizer. ..
You may want to have it done again. ..using the proper adhesive. ..
And although changing broken glass is a doable project. ..it really should be done by a professional if possible. ..imho...g

I have the same issue. I just got my glass replaced by a repair shop and it touches right in the middle of the screen if I push more than gently. It was really apparent initially, but after a few hours it stopped, even if I pushed harder than normal (not more than would be expected by average use though). However, once I put it back in my jeans pocket this morning it started touching over a larger area, and still hasn't gone away. I told the shop I'd like to bring it back in once they have more screens in stock (I got the last one).
They said they'd done two Note 2s earlier that day, so I assume they know what they're doing. Is it possible to cause permanent damage if I use my phone like this for the next few days?

I just replaced the glass on a note 2 and the soft keys and home button arent working, do they have to be stuck to the glass? Everything else is working great like i said its just the bottom keys. Thats guys for any help!

Put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. That should take care of it.
really though, is it acting up at all? Any touch screen issues? If there's an area that's still wet, take a towel to it, don't wipe just soak it up.

I was going to post a snarky response, but I wont. As long as no water got in the speaker ,or slid down the sides of the screen itno the phone or head phone jack/buttons, you are fine.
Water on the screen is not a big deal, as the previous posters have said. Obviously if you're really paranoid make sure the device is powered off and throw it in a bag of rice for a few hours (although this is more like an "I dropped my phone in the toilet" problem). But water on just the screen is nothing to worry about.
+1 microwave idea
Thats like saying it rained last night and my glass windows got wet are they ok?
like previously stated if the water just hit the glass its fine.
