Pseudo scuff - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I just recently noticed this scuff or mark on my screen. The reason I called it pseudo is because it is only visible when the screen is off and there is a finger smudge on top of it. When i wipe the screen clean with soft cloth the scuff disappears or at least is no longer visible at all. So I'm not even sure it's a scuff...
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is there anything I can do to remedy it short of replacing the entire screen plate?
Thanks in advance

Put a screen protector on it. Then call it good. Mine got a small minor line on the screen after awhile of having it. But I've put screen protectors on it ever since I notice that small blemish...
And personally I don't see the need to replace a complete screen for something minor.:what:

[Q] Screen Defect?

I wanted to know if anybody else has experienced this or if perhaps my screen is defective. I have been using swype for some time now. I noticed that if I hold my phone at an angle to the light with the screen turned off I can see what appears to be 2 smudge lines across the screen near the bottom where I have been swyping. I thought okay I need to clean the screen. I cleaned the screen and it is still there. I had a screen protector on and removed it because I thought it was problem but it is the actual screen.

Shatterproof screen protector.

Does anybody know of a video demonstrating it being removed or can somebody make a video of them removing their one? I need reassurance before I try to remove mine as it's a right scratch magnet.
I removed mine

There should be no way of screwing up if that's what you're worried about. I usually mess up everything I do, but the screen protector came off fine. Just start picking at a corner of the screen, right at the very edge (I couldn't even see the edge of the cover, but after picking at it, it came off quickly)
I took a pin and carefully picked up a corner starting from where the buttons meet the screen. If you look closely you can see the "screen protector"

Easy way to fix screen scratches?

I am not talking about deep scratches. I had a scratch on my screen, even that I am extremely careful with my phone, I never place it with keys or any other objects. Still I got a long scratch on the screen which I can't see except in a certain angle with sunlight. I can't see it at night even when all the lights of the room are on. The scratch isn't deep and it's very tiny as hair, I can't even feel it while rubbing my fingers over it. I was wondering is there an easy way to fix this tiny scratch, a way which doesn't involve sanding or anything dangerous which may make my screen only worst if not done perfectly?
I have the exact same scratch. Because of it, could not return my phone.
It's wired though. I am extremely careful with my phone.
I would really appreciate it if people would share with us their experience in fixing screen scratches.
Sometimes if its very very light, then a screen protector may hide it, probably could try something similar to a Zagg one rather than a stiff plastic type.
But I still know it's there. You know whar I mean, when you love your phone you don't want to hide scratches but you want to fix them.
Will polishing the screen work?

Why don't you try Displex scratch remover? But be careful not to rub it too hard.. What it does is that it levels the surface by grinding the surrounding surface area and filling the scratches. The more you do, you will end up removing the Oleophobic coating! So you will have to do it with less pressure till the scratch disappears.. Once done, make sure that you put a screen protector..
Those hair line like scratches are unavoidable. I can very well understand what you are talking about. I had the same experience with the iPhone 4S and the HTC Sensation. Those scratches are not visible in sun light but under specific yellow lights.. You can't feel them or do they affect the clarity.. But it bother's us Thats when I learnt to put a screen protector the moment I buy a new phone
THIS is what Im talking about!
I used a CD restoring kit before. Not sure how well that would work on Gorilla Glass thought.
Does anyone see black boxes on the screen in light when the screen is turned off. I see lots of black boxes together all over the screen?

it's disturbing the amount of people with scratches and broken screens. i dropped a phone with gorilla glass 1 a few times with no bad results and watched videos of keys trying to scratch it that couldn't. something isn't right here.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep I see them aswell. I think that's just the way the LCD is build. Like when you get close to an old tv you see the red, green, blue bars

Clairivue XT (HD) Glass Screen Protector

Bought this for my wife's phone. Pretty unhappy with it. First off there was some glue in the middle of the glass when i was about to apply it to the phone. So i already had to wipe this off otherwise there would have been a glaring mark on the screen. I used some glass cleaner and had to scrub pretty hard with a microfiber cloth to get it off. Once I dealt with that the screen itself fit pretty well.
But we shortly after we noticed that there was a major problem with the proximity sensor. You could see a faint red glow always on and the phone would not detect how far our heads were from the screen. Using a third party app the sensor would always read 0.0 cm. Once I removed it, everything was operating fine again. Lastly, we also noticed that the touch sensitivity was decreased while using the screen which was extremely annoying. Some screen swipes or taps just didn't register with the phone.
Overall, I would not recommend this product.
Currently, I'm still trying to email them about replacing it with a normal skin.

Question Defect in screen coating?

Anybody else had this?
Went to apply a screen protector today and when I wiped the screen with the alcohol wipe I could see clearly 2 small, and I mean small circles about halfway up the screen. Initially thought it was a couple of water marks or something sticky but it wasn't
Can't feel them on the surface and looking under the light they look almost like when you get a spec of dust under an applied screen protector. EE replacing tomorrow as it's within 14 days but can't see this as a common fault after having a quick Google.
Hope it's just a one off manufacturing fault but worth a check. So hard to see but if you steam the screen up with your breath you will see them.
Tried to show the circles in the attached, one breathed on, the other normal.
Looks like dust got in between the glass and screen when they were putting it together.
