So I have a scuff on my screen that's not rubbing out with water or my finger or shirt.. it's not scratched, just scuffed. But a paIn In the ass one. Not damage Into the screen.. any ideas how to get it off? Screen cleaner doesn't help
So a what? A smudge? If you mean damage glass then nothing will fix it easily. If you mean a substance then try distilled water with some rubbing alcohol. Since it sounds like damage to the glass, you might be out of luck.

I've just removed my screen protector and phone cover and there's a bunch of crud around the edges of the screen. I'm afraid to slide anything under the frame for fear of damagning something. How are you all cleaning yours?
cotton buds
I use cotten buds and Razzle Dazzle spray used to clean your specs, glasses
does a great job
comes up like new
hope that helps
i just cleaned mine when i had it apart put a new screen protector on afterwards
I use the thin plastic toothpicks that have a 45 degree on one side. They're bendable and flex with slightest resistance. Great for cleaning between screen and case. There is a pretty big gap between the screen and faceplate so alot of debris can get trapped in there. As long as the spongy black insulation foam is in good shape I dont see putting anything in edges to be a harmful to it.
The see-through (plastic?) lens cover appears to have a thin layer on it, a layer that comes off easily? i can remove it with my finger nail with repeated rubbing so it can't be an anti scratch layer
It's not really like scratches it looks more like it's just being rubbed off and the surface below looks not as shiny.
Do others have this or have had this?
Anyway on mine this layer is mostly off in the middle, bit of a pisser it probably effects the photo quality..
yes, this happened to me. I got a scratch on the lens cover and the "coating" started to rub off around the scratch then. Once it's broken it will all eventually chip or rub off. I was left with a dull not so transparent lens cover. crap photos.
I got a new back cover for 30euro! (argh!!). Now I do not rub my lens and am very careful. The initial scratch was caused by a tiny piece of salt or sand on the lens when I rubbed it clean with a microfibre cloth. Once it was scratched the protective film just flaked off really easy when I rubbed it even lightly.
Get a new back cover and be very careful when rubbing the lens cover in future. In fact DON'T rub it is best. If you do get a finger print on it very very lightly use a microfibre cloth to remove it. no hard rubbing.
bummer.. i'll just leave mine i think, maybe some one will bring out a better version, or i could maybe maybe stick a plane glass disc in.
yeah, it sucks doesn't it! I would not mind paying an extra 20euro for a desire if HTC would coat the lens cover with mineral glass or something so its much less likely to scuff. plastic with a coating is useless.
anyway, good luck if you replace it with a glass disc, that would be cool too. I splashed out for the battery cover, but it was expensive and wouldn't do it again if it happens.
Thats why I loved my Nokia N82. It had an actual lens cover that kept out dust, fingerprints, grit etc.
well, HTCs next big handset release will only be improved I imagine.
Same here
I've had the same problem, bad engineering on HTC's part in my opinion as the lens(cover) is a very much exposed part of this particular phone because of its 'bulgy' design. Never had this kind of problem on my Cybershotphones.
Too bad though as I'm otherwise very happy with my Desire (although it would have been nice if the screen were a bit less prone to scratching, gief Gorillaglass).
I ended up rubbing the lenscover until the entire coating was actually rubbed off in the hope pictures would be less blurry because of the partly chipped off coating.
Anyone know what the coating is for in the first place?
if this happens to mine I will drill the clear lens out

I think you can just bash it out - there's a post on the forum somewhere about it
I have a question for anyone is it safer to use glass cleaner casue it dries clearer and leaves no residue behind alot of people suggest to use soap and water tho soap leaves a film behind just like using tap water leaves a funky film sometimes behind the protector anyone have a suggestion.
Either regular water is good, or go with windex.
Hi what can I use to clean the phone touch screen (SE x8)? It's always oily. My phone have screen protector, it's a plastic sticker on the touch screen.
simply clean Fingers
I use a small microfibre cleaning rag without any liquids
I use a damp tissue or cloth followed by a dry one. Works as well if not better than the fancy stuffs.
I have a microfiber cloth also but after a cple days wet paper towel then dry it with the cloth
Any glass cleaner, applied to tissue/cloth and wiped over screen will do the trick.
glass cleaner will leave a residue behind because of the ammonia. after you take a shower just wipe it with your damp towel. Does the trick perfectly
Brasso gadget cleaner i use it for my streak its sh?t hot

I think that could get moisture inside the device, which is probably not a good thing :S
you can use white vinegar small amount 1/2 and 1/2 water on the damp cloth and then dry it will remove the grease and slime your fingers put on the screen/protector
Micro fiber cloths for the win... or your T-shirt.

I use rubbing alcohol and wipe it with microfiber. So far it works okay on my HTC HD2, but cannot be sure if the alcohol will do any damage to the screen.
Try windows/white board cleaner WITHOUT amonia.
I also use microfibre rag without any liquids.
Damp cloth , dry with microfibre cloth
Mouth vapor and t-shirt!
Microfiber will do!
Try Zagg wipes. You can get them off zagg's website (cant post links sorry)
First thins first that I have learned, before touching any tech nology, wash your hands! Use antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer to remove the grease, next, take a nice microfiber cloth and gently rub the phone in circles, wax on, wax off motion. Once you have complted this step and the creen is completely clean, gently glide your clean finger across the screen in a swiping motion... see how xlean it feels

Seems so simple doesn't it. Unless you are playing beach volleyball just prior to cleaning your phone you'll never scratch the glass with a t-shirt.
Microfiber and cleaning solution, LOL.
Hey all, probably a 1 in a 1,000,000 situation happened to me this morning. I was fixing something in the house with Gorilla Glue gel super glue and dumb me touched the inner screen with some residue on my finger. I didn't notice it until a few hours later and there were 4ish small marks that looked like scratches but were glue prints. I freaked out, OMG what I have just done. Thank the Lord, I got it all removed.
1. Took alcohol prep wipe to screen and lightly rubbed until pad dry, it removed a little but not much.
2. Laid dry alcohol wipe on marks, then applied Goo Gone to pad. Lightly rubbed, and left for 10min to soak.
3. After soaking rubbed lightly the cotton pad soaked in Goo Gone, like 80% of the mark is now gone.
4. Took a fresh new Mr Clean Magic Eraser standard, wet it, squeezed it, and rubbed the remaining marks gently, to my prayers, it removed all the remaining marks.
No scuffs, no marks, no sign of it ever happening. Whew!
LUCKY and good on you for getting it cleaned! Thanks for the tip and I hope I am never in this situation!
Lucky is right!
I HATE CA fingers, that's what we call it when you have that stuff all over your fingers that's hard and even harder to get off.
Just remember the cleaner your fingers are the longer that protector will stay pristine. At MOH2 it doesn't take much to abrade it.
I act if superglue is acid. (Which it is)
And make sure to not have anything else around. And always deep wash my hands before touching anything else.
