Since I got my new Note 2 LTE last week, I've got very thin scratches on my screen, which is only visible under direct sunlight - I ordered for a screen protector way before I ordered my phone but my phone came very early in the post. Since these scratches are peeing me off, is they any way I can get the glass replaced? One that's scratch free and genuine?
All help would be greatly appreciated!
PS - Is it possible these scratches occurred through the manufacturing process?
Thank you!
Regards,
Dave
The stylus could have done it?
Yeah, possibly! I mean the scratches are extremely thin. I knew I shouldn't have used that damn stylus 'till I got a screen protector! I think that particles that are able to scratch we're carried by the stylus and left a nasty scratch
After seeing the various scratch tests on youtube,with keys and knives and whatnot(with hardly any scratches),its hard to imagine that stylus couldve done that.
Sand,maybe.
Get it replaced for another reason, and buy a screen protector for that one?
Well, not sure. I think this Gorilla Glass we get on the Note 2 is bu**s***. I've got all these tiny scratches on my phone, after a week; my phone has always been on a table or in my pants pockets with nothing else in the same pocket, I don't get how the hell it got scratched, just noticed it today and was pissed at work lol.

Watch this . Makes you feel pity for that phone.
fml. it didn't even look like it scratched it! wtf?
Dirt/sand will easily scratch your screen
A screen protecter costs like $1
Why would you not use one

I dont know what you guys are doing. I use my pen, I walk on the beach daily and have the phone in my pocket. I take it out on the production floor at work and dont have any scratchs on my display. Even after 9 months of doing the same with my Note1, I dont have any scratches.
If you're really paranoid, you could research the cost it would cost to get your screen replaced, say $100.
Sell it for $50 cheaper than RRP. Then buy a new one. Profit I guess.

This should be what you're after.

I don't think it's the stylus or your handling as I have been using my note 2 for a few weeks now without a screen protector and I didn't notice any scratches. I don't know the real cause for your scratches but i have to tell you that in the note 2 user guide, there is a statement saying to don't put any screen protector. But it's purely your choice if you want to use it.

Not to use any screen protectors? Why?

Because there is NO need to use any. If sand or dust gonna scratch it then a tiny protector, however pricey it is, won't save it either.
And really, these scratches come as per our usage pattern. I never could able to scratch my Note 1, which I used for 9 months and my S2, which was used for 6+ months. And no, I don't use my device carefully.
But the service center, where I submitted the Note 2 last week, was able to scratch the screen. I told them I'd give them an award.
is the lens glass (outer glass) replacable on the note2 ??on the s3 its quite a hard job to do and i ruined mine while trying.
is it not a combined unit outer glass and touch screen?

thanks for your reply..
i cannot see either in this thread or others a definitive statement if the screen is the same glued to the digitizer type that the s3 has.
i can see the a outer screen can be purchased .. yes .
i am interested if it is the same or not as the s3 as when i heated my s3 up to fix the outer screen on that it buggered it up. and would breath a slight sigh of relief if the note2 outer screen was easier to replace,
forgive my inability to find the part you say i should of read

as I've read and watched on youtube before, I understood that most of the latest LCD/AMOLED/etc (screen) and digitizer(touch panel) of mobile units are glued tightly if not "built" together, hence "further" reducing or providing slimmer waistline for the actual unit,. i believe it can be taken apart but will be a "very" difficult task to do without leaving a mark or worst damaging the LCD/AMOLED screen,. just sharing my thought based on what I've learned on youtube and reviews which mostly is about tearing down new mobile devices,.

Unfortunately I managed to get a scratch on the glass, wright in the middle just after 2 days. It is somehow visible with screen off and under light. It is more annoying knowing it is there rather than feeling it by touch or spen.
Question: it is possible to change only the glass (I have found it on amazon) just like for galaxy S3 ??
PS I can't post the url for the S3 guide on youtube...

Answer near the end of the thread.
Just wondering if anyone can verify this glitch. My gf was using her s3 on a glass table flat and was trying to use her phone like that without holding it..swiping thru menus and sites..I tried it on my phone and it was doing the exact same thing..it would just not register or swipe correctly..I moved it over to a counter top and my chair and it worked...
Now..is this because of some sensor not being able to work because of the glass? just wondering if anyone has seen this happen before..
Thanks!
Hmmm that's odd. I'm not seeing that issue. Just tried it.

im wondering if its because the table is clear glass and a small frame around the glass? it was being used on the clear part with no frame underneath..so straight shot to the ground...ive tried it over and over and only the glass table has the problem..so strange

Any magnets near the glass table or on the frame of the table?

I also have a clear glass table but no frame. Not sure if it makes a difference.

I've not only noticed this effect on multiple surfaces when I'm not actually holding the phone, but also on other devices, such as my previous Motorola Atrix. Not sure what might be causing it, but I'd have to say it probably has more to do with the type of surface you are sitting/lying on than what surface the phone is on.
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:

I feel a bit stupid asking this , but here goes
I recently got an 8.4 Tab S that was 'unused' but the box had been opened.
I removed the plastic protection on the sides and from the camera lens but there didn't seen to be anything on the screen so I presumed the previous owner had removed it.
However the screen does have what I would call an oily appearance when it's turned off.....rather than the mirror black I would expect.
I remember a similar situation when I bought a Nexus 5.......it took me a while to realize there was an out of the box screen protector fitted.
If I look closely there seems to be a whiter area around the home button and the top speaker but its feint.
So...before I start digging around the edge of the screen could somebody advise?
Thanks
