Scratches - Sony Xperia M

Is it just me or is the screen on the m really prone to scratches?
I bought this phone last week (second hand) it had a few scratches but could only see them in the sun. But over the last few days more and more scratches keep appearing and now I'm getting those rainbow type marks I haven't dropped it or put it face down so I don't know what's causing them.
Anyone know any tricks to make the scratches less visible?

This is funny, actually this phobe is advertised to have a scartch proof screen

Personally I don't have any such issue.
Maybe you should consider buying a case.

It definitely ain't scratch proof lol

Yeah I got a case for it today to use while I'm out so I'm hoping it ain't gonna get any worse.

Yeah I know it's supposed to be scratch resistant but it doesn't seem to be doing this phone any good. My last phone had gorilla glass and only ever had one scratch

Ok, here is the thing. I dont use a cover, i put my phone in my pocket most of the time and i don't take extra care of it. The screen is flawless, not a single scratch. U might have this problem becuz u bought the phone second hand, otherwise it shouldn't happen

Go claim the warranty!

Dude, do you have protective foil on your screen? If you have, its no wonder that you see scratch marks. But the screen itself, underneath the foil shouldnt be easily scratched

As long as it didn't have scratches from when he opened the box(*first hand*) no warranty covers him.

Replacement bezel came without screw holes

So i have had a nightmare replacing this screen... the first one i ordered, the cabel wouldnt reach from the digitizer to the mainboard so i couldnt connect it, so i sent it back and got a refund, and now my second one is missing the little brass pieces that hold ALL the screws in place. I do still have the original bezel with the pieces but i have absolutely no idea how to get them out.
Any ideas/suggestions? I considered superguleing them in place but that is kinda a last resort
Thanks
No ideas guys? Really? Here are some pics of what I mean

Did the first one have the same problem?

They're probably glued in, so I would think it would be possible to remove them. It seems weird though that it wouldn't come with the screw holes. I would have thought that it would. If it's not too much trouble I'd move them to the new bezel, otherwise I'd get a refund and buy from a different place.

They both have a pretty good selection. I'd check to make sure the pics have the screw holes in them before you buy them. Amazon has a really good return policy, but I don't know about either of these as I've never bought from either.

Small gap between bezel and side of my note 2

Hey guys,
My Note 2 seems to be having a small gap on the upper side of the screen. Is this a problem where I should ask for a new one? Do other people have this problem?

Hi,
If its titanium Grey then its more clear on the gap. Marble white not so clear. Mine has that too. Guess its normal. Unless the gap is too big. That gap tends to collect dust sometimes.

I updated the TS with an unclear picture of my gap. I don't have any other camera to make a photo with other than my phone, so I used my webcam. I hope y'all know what I mean.
Hi,
The picture is unclear. If you mean the gap at the bezel, a small gap I supoose its normal. The gap is unclear on whites but more clear on black.

Hi,
Your gap seem rather bigger than mine. Most sets have that but severity varies. Anyway if the dust boder you then you can try clean it with a soft toothbrush. Then use a bumper case to cover it.

Mine has a small gap but its just above the power button
Only thing that annoys me is it collects dust over time..
That gap is normal. I have cross-checked with over a dozen Note '2''s, and found the same gaps; however, they vary from unit to unit. In respect to Post # 1, that gap looks normal, within limits. :good:

I would have considered this had one of the options been the dark gray/blue (I'm kind of color blind) cover...They haven't made that an option, have they?
Or I suppose, I meant to say HAD they...seeing as it's over now...
Sweet. I got a mint on the way.
They said approximately 4-6 weeks.

This makes no absolutely zero sense. This was a FREE promotional giveaway. I don't care if the only color Samsung was offering was hot pink! It was FREE. You could just end up selling it later for a profit, as a lot of people plan on doing. Who would turn down something free that cost them nothing???
I just got my orange case (actually not a bad color even with my gray note 2) and tech tiles. I'm using NFC task launcher for the tiles. Pretty nifty if you ask me.

lol
I'm still waiting for my orange case. Looking forward to it, actually!
Got mine today!!! I was really hoping I'd have got it yesterday or today. I'm very surprised as I was expected 8 weeks like most everyone else.

. Now i bought this used so i don't think HTC will be much help. But i was wondering if anyone might have seen this before. I messed with different setting but this smoke effect on happens with flash on. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you might have.

Not too sure about the photo with flash, but the one without looks like you have a very grubby lens.
I think maybe that reflective road sign is showing how dirty the lens might be.
Give it a wipe with a decent micro-fibre cloth and see what happens.

I finally realised the flash wasn't sitting centered in its housing. Im having it fixed right now. I hope this solves the problem.

Are you guys worried about the gap??

Are you guys worried about your note 4 having a gap? after hearing about the first phones over seas having a gap between the screen and the metal frame. don't know what to think of it, I wanna get the note on the 17th, but am afraid to pre order the note just because I don't want to open my brand new phone to a gap..
Nope.

I'm not worried at all about it. I've had at least one spot, in every phone I've owned, that had a gap in it somewhere. If this is what it takes to bond metal to glass, I'm all for it. It actually states the gap is there in the manual, so it's a design feature. Check out this video about the gap.
www.youtube.com/embed/r3mNJCNnARo
If the glass was right up against the metal, the slightest drop would cause the screen to spider crack. The plastic had a little absorption abilities but metal will transfer any vibration directly to the glass...so you should be happy it is there...it shows they were thinking.
Had a pair of note 2's in the family for a couple of years they've worked fine all this time. They both had a gap that you could barely fit a sticky note in. Not really a problem.
