There is an awful lot of dust building up in the bottom left corner of my screen making it really hard to see the screen excpecially when im outside.
Anyone ever have this issue or know an easy way how i can get it out of there?
I have a good bit of dust above the back and search keys. It's starting to get annoying. Especially on black backgrounds.
My 3rd generation iPod touch had the same problem. But I have the 4th gen and there's no dust whatsoever. But I'm pretty sure the screen and glass are fused together somehow.

I have this same issue on my old phone (D2), there's dust underneath the top layer of the screen that I can't seem to get out. Would definitely be interested in a solution for this.

Same problem here but in the top left and now middle of the screen. When I had my Storm I took it in for this and they did replace the phone for me. Right now though I finally got a good dinc after two bad refurbished ones so I think I may hold onto it until my warranty runs out then take it apart and try to clean the dust out myself. From the disassembly videos it looks pretty easy but my only concern is that there is a missing (probably just a foam strip) and this will keep happening. I'd be interested to hear of other people with the same issue and their fixes. The dust is pretty annoying for me too, and especially noticeable in the sun.

Do you guys use invisishield? With my shield an silicone case. , my phone is completely encased.

I like to run all my stuff nude. No case, no screen protector. Save for my iPad, it has the Apple case so its easier to type on. No screen protection though. I prefer the feel of the glass.

The shield is awesome, well worth it. Feels great and does not scratch. The silicone has saved my bacon more than once. Phone looks brand new, had it since day one.

+1 for screen protector (invisishield is too sticky for me, I like the cheap ones). But if you can't get dust out with compressed air I know I've spilled many solvents on my screen and haven't dissolved it yet (nearly have my Chem degree)

My invisishield is not sticky at all, almost a lubed feel. Its amazing. I like it cause it doesnt scratch and its harder to fingerprint.

dust in the screen, dust in the screen, looking like a fool with dust in your screen!!
Sorry im a loser
I had an invisible shield for a few months. It was ok, but it started getting dents in it. And they were annoying. Ive been without a screen protector for about 5 months now. And it hasn't scratched the screen at all. There is some scratches on the bottom right corner, but that's just the glass. Not on the screen part. I've even put it in my pocket with my keys a few times on accident.

Damn. Same thing on the D2 I'm getting rid of, not that much dust though. Anyone have any ideas to get that **** out?
I'm fighting with this issue as well, I never had a problem until the glass shattered and i took it apart and replaced it. A couple of weeks ago I took the phone apart again, dusted the screen & glass and put it back together with a piece of tape where I thought the dust would accumulate, to no avail.
My next idea is to find an extremely thin, black, rubberized material to wedge between the glass and the bezel. I have a feeling that there is some kind of lining missing.. Not sure what I wanna use just yet though for this.
Either way I have to take apart the phone one more time to get the dust out. Ill have to have my gf's phone with me to compare as well, maybe see if I can straight up see a piece in hers that isn't in mine.

Please post up when you compare the two or figure out a way to seal the dust out. None of the other replacement incredibles I've had ever got any dust in them, and this one just keeps getting worse.

Just for the record. My friend has an SLCD model and his doesn't have any dust. Mine is an original AMOLED (Manufactured 4/2/2010). Got it on launch day (4/29/2010). And I believe he got his in November.

I dont have any dust... weird.
Just replaced the flex cable on my Desire and found this small rubber part on the desk afterwards. Anyone know where it should fit, I can't see anywhere obvious!
Thanks

Upps
I've never seen it before!
That might be the small plastic/rubber shield that separates the proximity sensor's emitter/receiver (as depicted in this picture). Without it, the proximity sensor might function incorrectly.

God save the Queen!
Further to the image above, that proximity sensor rubber is shown at 5:00 in this video:

Thanks for the responses - proximity sensor sounds like the culprit to me, particularly as I've had a few problems with it not working lately! Time to take my phone to bits again I think, thanks for your assistance
Looks like the piece that goes on the inside of the back cover which sits over the speaker? Could be wrong though...
Hi I know exactly what it is I had the same problem I did a massive fix on my desire a few months back.
It's the Mic or the rubber bit that protects it and helps the sound travel to the Mic look at the bottom of your phone. There are 2 boards I think the top and the bottom top having camera etc and the bottom having the processer sim.card etc. When you took those out it must have fell out if I remember correctly its just 2 bumps at the bottom next to the micro USB port on the right
Hope this helps

Title says it all!
For those of you who refuse to clothe your GalNexes, any damage to the camera lens, chrome area around the lens, or anywhere on the back from being set/slid on surfaces? Any paint peeling, scrapes, what have you?
Do you set your Nexus down face up or face down? The screen is sunk in a bit, and the front is flat compared to the back, so hey it's not such a wild notion!

Nope.
...
my neked gnex is nearly flawless, screen is flawless. i set her on her back, when shes not in my pocket
Facing the rear,
One at the top, one at the top right corner, 2 dots to the left of the speaker grill.
And some marks on the headphone jack due to penetrations.
No abrasions or scratches on the case or screen. I've dropped it more times than I care to admit. The only signs of wear I notice are near the charging port. My husband cases his so that we can tell them apart when they're off (and because he's even more destructive than me.)

Does anybody have any tips on cleaning the tiny speaker holes at the top and bottom of the phone?
They're far too small to fit anything in there and I don't want to risk damaging any components.
Suggestions?
I've seen some folks use a toothbrush on my previous device forum (One X EVITA). Although others have raised the point that this is just pushing any debris into the phone, which is true.

silly putty or play doe should work with taking the dirt or lint out and not pushing it in.

You can get cyberclean, is a goo that can into the speakers and clean them.

I wouldnt touch the speaker or any of it component, this phone is water resistant and whatever you do might ruin that.
Hey guys
Does anyone know any way to clean the grill of the earpiece? It has gathered enough dust to drive me crazy. I tried with a toothbrush but I think I made it worse, if that's even possible. The toothbrush was the perfect way for my M7-8-9 but the 10's earpiece is not in the same line with the screen.
Thanks in advance

I use blu-tac and it cleaned it pretty effectively.
You have to make the blu-tac quite soft first, just by squeezing it and moving it about in your hand. Then push the blu-tac into the grill, quite forcefully so it gets into the holes. Then remove, any tac that remains can be dabbed out.
This YouTube video shows it quite well. Skipped the rubbish chat
Isn't it super easy to have blue tac stuck in there after that;

I was quite successful. No blu-tac remained
