Anything that can remove a scratch from gorilla glass? :-\
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
You could maybe try Brasso (the old "good" stuff with the tiny sand) or Armor Etch. How deep is the scratch? I'm not really sure how much different Gorilla Glass is different from regular glass so those two suggestions might be void.
Might also want to look at Jewellers Rouge. That may be too much though.

It's just deep enough to feel it with my finger nail. But I can't see it when I have the screen on. It's in the bottom corner.

If it's something that small try some toothpaste. Call me crazy but it works. Put it on a soft cloth and rub the area in a circular motion for about a minute, rinse, repeat if necessary. Learned that from the Navy

Make sure you're using the paste toothpaste not the gel kind. This works great on scratched cds

Called HTC themself. They said its like gorilla glass. But its not gorilla.glass which is a trademark name by Corning. If you go to gorilla glass website they have a list of phone with GG and the inc2 isn't one of them.

Well it flew across the parking lot and I only got one scratch lol...what I'm going to do is make it a silver one and.sand off this black paint on the front. If it goes bad i have it insured.
It's only a $100 deductible on insurance right? Do I have to return the phone?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
What black paint on the front? The black is under the glass, so you can't sand it off (same with the verizon logo at the top). And to answer your last questions, yes and yes.

He isn't talking about the screen, he means the front bezel, since it went across the parking lot, I assume it screwed up the front, so that it was he means. It'll look like a thunderbolt.

If the scratch is really light, do the best you can with toothpaste and then put a screen protector on it. That'll cover up the feel of the scratch, even if it's still there.
Phone was two feet from the floor. Dropped. Screen is cracked. Im not on any insurance currently. Whats the best and cheapest way to get it repaired or replaced? Thanks
Take it to a local repair shop. Unless your capable of replacing it yourself then Amazon is your best friend. IMHO taking it in somewhere is what I would do.

Call the galaxy s Support line. Just google the number. You will have to send the phone in. I'm not sure, but I think the 150 includes labor. There was another thread about a person who did the same thing. More details there. I'm in my phone, but if I find the thread ill pit up a link here.

does this phone not have gorilla glass? Or is that just the international version? I dropped my phone last night out of my car but luckily the leather case it was in protected it from any damage.
The gorilla glass is scratch proof, not crack proof.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's why you need a soft case. It even saved my HD2 when I dropped from about 1 meter (and stepped on it!!!).
It got some scratches on the cam, but the screen saved.
Why not just call T-Mobile and have them send you a replacement?
I accidentally got candle wax on my screen which left a permanent mark that was rough to the touch. I tried everything to remove it, even a razor blade, but nothing worked. I don't have insurance either but I called T-Mobile and told them the story. After paying $120 they sent me a replacement. If you can go this route it will probably be cheaper and faster than going through Samsung. I was pretty pleased with the outcome through T-Mobile.

Every glass has its weak spots. I am running without a screen protector for 3 weeks now and my phone has been through hell (keys, dropped, etc...) The sides are clean because of my TPU case and the screen is still like brand new. No scratches at all

Wrong. It's not scratch proof either, it's scratch resistant. You can definitely still scratch gorilla glass without really trying (phone in pocket with keys for example)

All the impact and momentum transferred into making your case explode instead of making your phone/screen explode.

easy. Call T-mobile add the insurance and after like a week go to local store for replacement
You can only add insurance within the 14 days from purchase or 30 days in some states. After that you are sol.

The glass on my T989 have had scratches for the last month. It hasn't gotten worse, but I really want to get it fixed, because its starting to really get to me. I'm weighing my options, it seems it would be too costly, and I plan on rather spending money on getting a SG3 at full retail. Should I repair this, and sell it, or sell it as is on craigs list? What would be the most cost effective way? I notice there are OEM original glass replacements on ebay for like 10-15 dollars but don't know how to replace it myself. How much would it be to get a professional to do it? What price would I be able to sell it at on craigslist just to sell it as is? I'm not sure what I should do, any suggestions would help. Theres like 6 hair thin crack lines spread in a circular pattern about 2 cm apart on the top half of the screen. Any suggestions appreciated thanks!
I have never tried it myself but I have heard that replacing the screen on most phones is not too difficult.

I dunno this one seems pretty darn hard. My Hd2 was a b**** since it needed soldering so instead of trying I just sold it
Ive been meaning to post up a tutorial but I did it for myself...it was simple but Replacing the screen on this phone for some scratches is not the best option though as its an expensive screen
Btw the screen and the digitizer are one peice... Or at least very well glued together
Isnt there some type of 'scratch filler' thing that you rub into the scratches?
Try on of these ideas

Are they scratches or cracks? Big difference.
I had a few thin, semi-deep scratches on my screen a while back. I put a dab of white, semi-gritty toothpaste on the scratches themselves, and buffed it into the scratches with a dry towel corner until all residue was gone, then repeated. Did it about 4-5 times and lines were almost entirely buffed out. Can no longer feel lines and can only see when looking extremely close for them. Phone smelled good to boot! Haha!
Cracks... that's a whole another issue.
Best,

Someone asked about fragility of G Pro

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...

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.

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.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

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.
