[Q] Scratches on display

Hello folks,
as title, i have two little scratches on my desire's glass.. damned sand!!! ok, i want to remove them, in some forums i have read about displex, a paste that can make scratches magically vanish.. But in their site, they recomends to NOT use on touch-screen displays... How can I remove this fuxxing scratches???? Thx

displex is really bad for our screens , I tried on a HTC HD .. was a total failure . I d say to avoid it .
No ideea how to remove the scratches tho ..

well, i think i'll write to htc..

Would the toothpaste work? I use it for old CDs and clear model parts, it's basically very fine polishing compound. But then again, that was plastic, and this is glass.

Don't think you're going to get the scratches out - since t is glass.

stick a screen protector ontop. it minimised the visibility of existing scratches. I had a few scuffs... can't see them anymore with the screen protector

Is it better to use Ultra Clear or antiglare screen protector?
Which is better to make scratches "disappear"?
Thx.

I'm using Martin shields. I've read a lot of reviews if different screen protectors and that consistanly got good reviews. After using it for a few weeks, I can see why.

Be patient when doing it, stock screen protector is very thick and very sticky.

There's a factory installed screen protector??

Yes, it is called a shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant mineral glass.

Thanks for helps. I will try it. But, what can i use for lift?

Not sure if it would help, but you could try a guitar pick to help you get going.

After this, i will use a screen protector on my phone, necessarily. Thanks for your all help, i tried to lift protector today with an pin from the edge. I done it successfully, i removed a little bit of the protector from the edge. Now, i will get a new screen protector. After, i will remove the factory protector completely. Remove a little bit from the corner of the protector is enough at this time for me, i now i can lift it when i want at least.
I have a new question, i'm looking for screen protectors for Xperia Arc? Which one is your recommend for screen protector?

[Q] Scratch on HOX screen

I have a 1.5 cm scratch in my screen, its not that deep, but it visible. Anyone already fix this, or the only solution is replace the glass?
I found some screen adhesive on Ebay, it says that "repair" but never used before. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...w=screen+repair+htc+one+x&_osacat=0&_from=R40
Thanks

The only option is to replace the screen. You could try polishing or smth but it isn't guaranteed to work.

Yeah, polishing it out will remove the oloephobic coating.
You might be able to find a resin fir repairing glass, but you might also end up making it worse.
A good screen protector should prevent you from seeing the scratches, but IMO they're horrible.

A screen protector could hide the scratch? Because it`s kind of superficial
Any good screen protector?

Once you have a flat reflective surface, you won't notice it. You probably will notice the crappy screen protector more

Tempered glass or phone's screen?

I have this weird outline on my phone, but I don't know it it is my tempered glass screen protector or if it is my phone's screen doing... something. It is visinle when the phone is off. It is inside the border of my screen and does not cross it.
I am thinking it is the adhesive on the tempered glass that has been cooked from the heat of the screen as it is most prevalent across the top and on the top half of both sides. It is also noticeable just above the home key.

I don't think that's the screen protector. I have been using tempered glass on both my phones and have never seen that.

Yeah. I finally went ahead and bit the bullet and removed my glass screen protector. It is the screen. It is not visible when the screen is on, but shows up pretty well when it is off. Sucks that I had to sacrifice the protector to make sure, though.

if your still under warranty you can get that fixed I just did a few weeks ago with that same problem

Funny you should mention that. I submitted an RMA request this morning.

That is a gap of air between the lcd and the digitizer. It means that is not glued properly.
This happened to me on an old phone, after almost 3 years of daily usage.

Chipped screen

Yep...
I have a chipped screen...
Extremely pee'd off... I don't even know how it happened..
What are my available options??

Live with it....Screen is expensive.

I'm such a dunce!!
I got a tempered glass screen protector and prepared myself for the worst....
I peeled off the factory applied one...
It peeled off WAY too easily... (Like the plastic film that you get on a new phone which is oh so delightful to peel off)
And... No chip!
It must have flicked up at some point and some fluff or something must have got in giving it the impression that it was chipped!!
Wow!! I've never been so relieved!!!
I'm disappointed with this screen protector though!!
Anyone have any suggestions for a decent one?? It makes a tapping noise when I type as it's not securely stuck to the screen...

I think that the protector that was on the screen of the new phone is just to protect it during transport, and not meant to be an actual screen protector. I immediately pulled it off after opening the box. Anyhow, I'm happy for you.

what a relief...

Glad it wasn't the phone's screen which was broken. The tempered glass reduces touch sensitivity too much. I use the same one that came with the phone but better quality and the ultra slim nilkin back tpu cover. The phone is not bulky and at the same time looking nice and with acceptable protection.
