Small amount of Rubbing Alcohol on a cotton ball or lint free rag. Clean the screen with it, then take a dry cotton ball or rag and wipe the screen down again.

New look for your Thunderbolt using alcohol

Not the kind of alcohol that you drink but rubbing alcohol....
I had a plastic case on my Thunderbolt sporting with an extended battery. Nice looking. But the case kept pulling on my screen protector which kept causing it to bubble up or peel back. I had a case because my Tbolt had its housing casing with patches of its paint peeling off. Seeing my wife remove her color off her nails using alcohol, I decided to give it a try. It smoothly removed the paint off (which was glittery) to a more gunmetal paint job. Giving my Tbolt a new bold look. You can also use qtips to remove paint from curvy areas.
Happy new year!

Any pics?

my T-Bolt gets a new look thanks to alcohol right around 11pm most weeknights...

I think I need pics to believe this one. . .

Nice look, looks very sleek. How hard did you have to rub the alcohol in to get the silvery-gray paint off? Did you just use paper tissues?

No. Just rubbed it gently. I used cotton balls, tissue paper and qtips. Cotton balls should work just fine.

Might just have to try this myself. Not a drastic change as far as I can tell but it does look nicer.

My phone's original paint job was mostly peeled off...bought it used. I wished I would have taken pictures prior to doing this. I honestly thought it was just going to completely remove all of the paint. Anything would have looked better than they way it looked. It came with a nice gel case and for me, as long as the screen was scratched free- its what mattered more...or so I thought. I also bought a new case. But after using alcohol, it worked out better for me. Now I am happy. No need for cases.
I only suggest this if your phone's OEM paintjob is peeling off- not the battery case- just the casing.

I like this look over the stock looking color. I think it may even blend into my dash better.

I just tried this with some 91% alcohol and paper towels...didn't take any paint off...phone looks exactly the same.

Nail polish remover is acetone, not alcohol.

I tried it with 70% isopropyl alcohol and it didn't work either.

Correct.
Alcohol won't do a thing except clean off any grease and fingerprins.
Acetone will remove nail polish and will soften and strip most paint and plastic.

I just used up $ up Nail polish remover and it didn't work either. Is their a certain brand I should use? What about paint thinner? Alot of my paints chipped off so this would be really useful.

Looks nice dude. Just a minor change but it makes your a little different than the rest.

So how did you get around the edges, lime around the speaker, kickstand, buttons, micro USB port? Just careful?

Any TouchScreen Solution...

Hello frnds,
Is ther any solution to clean Touch Screen of our Galaxy Y, its really going bad day by day..bad means hard, sticky...how can i clean it..any gud solution i can buy...

<post deleted>

On screen protectors, I like the anti finger prints more than anti-glare because those tend to be thicker. No problem with moisture with the former.
Don't use solutions to clean your screen. Use a wiper or if you don't have one the cloth that comes with glasses work well too. It's what I use. XD

yeah frnds ism using screen protector...I think now its timeto replace it..
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA

you can clean it with shampoo anyway.

Install screen protector (the gloss one) and your screen appears glossy, more responsive than the matte one, (as per my experience) and more elegant, just wipe it and it's glossy again..

Agree with above

Shampoo? o-o
I had the glossy one too, but it's kinda.. meh. Well, it could be just a personal preference thing lol.

Lol. But the screen & text appears more clearer in glossy than the matte one, and more responsive in menu & back button..

I just use my shirt to wipe my screen from time to time. Glossy screen sucks for being a fingerprint magnet the back and menu buttons often need wiping.

I mean...you can make a dilute solution of shampoo. IMO one drop per 50mL water is OK. then use it to wipe the screen by tissue or soft cloath. its good because shampoo has chemical to prevent dust.

Nice tip. Prevents dandruff from affecting our phones too
I use a damp, soft sponge to clean my glossy screen protector. It removes smudges and oily spots more easily and effectively. Afterwards I wipe it dry with a soft cloth. I don't use tissue because it leaves small tissue particles on the screen. I prefer the cloth used to clean eyeglasses or those that came with screen protector kits.

Mediadevil/Mediadevil Magic Screen Protector Removal

Hi everyone. So I got this screen protector from MediaDevil (used to be called PhoneDevil) some months ago. It was pretty nice, crystal clear as advertised etc. But now all it does is collect finger prints like a magnet! I have tried to remove the damn thing from the screen for the past half an hour but no matter what I do, I can't seem to remove it!!!
Any of you have any experience with this type of screen protector? Any tricks that would help remove it?

Are you sure the finger print isn't on the other side of the screen protector, between the protector and the glass?

Been using the screen protector for the past 4 months. I am sure I would have noticed.

what you mean you cant remove it? just get your finger under it.. or stick some tape on the corner and peel it off together

It's extremely thin. I can't even see where the protector ends. You can't really see it. I've even emailed them to see what they say. High quality makes something annoying for once...

Try duct tape on the edges of the screen... it should work.
Otherwise with your fingernails or a plastic pen cap try find-peel the edges...

Maybe you're even not using a protector. =P

Hair dryer warm the edge slightly .

Use a heat gun or a hair dryer, makes the foil loose and a lot easier to remove.

Thought about that but worried that I will damage the phone. I got an email response to my query from them.
Hi ****,
I hope you are well. Thanks for getting in touch.
To remove the protector from the screen, we recommend using strong adhesive tape to pull up on the protector. This should remove it from the screen without needing to use your fingernails and risk damaging the screen underneath.
Do let me know how you get on
Best Regards,

Cleaning screen? Tips?

I have a part of the screen where it seems like the screen has lost its shine. I can see only when screen is off in strong light.
Trying to clean it with a soft cloth doesn't improve this part. Any tips? Can I use a cleaning solution?
Thanks

I use a camera lens micro fiber cloth from best buy for $5. That part in the middle of the screen that looks like it won't come off and the coating wore off, you can actually continue wiping with the micro fiber and it does indeed return to look exactly like the rest of the screen. You just have to keep wiping and wiping for a long time, sometimes one direction, but keep going it does come clean.
I don't use any chemicals, I don't want to wipe away the coating of the screen.

I bought couple of hundreds of Micro Fiber cloths via ebay @ $5.

I use myself a micro clothe but somehow it looks like the coating in a form of a fingerprint is off. It needs maybe a cleaning liquid cause the clothe doesn't remove it.

I use regular rubbing alcohol, and a micro-fiber camera lens cloth just like at the factory, it dissolves the grease and leaves a smooth finish. Also, it evaporates fast enough not to cause any liquid damage.

It will come off. I just had to keep wiping for 10 min, gently. Do it in sunlight too so you can easily see it.

The screen is made out of glass. You can literally scrape it with a razor blade and it won't scratch. On the moh's scale, glass is relatively strong; steel and even titanium won't scratch it.

I'm thinking of peeling the stock one off, the "Galaxy Nexus" on the screen is annoying..
Still waiting for the screen protector to arrive..

I have always cleaned the screens of my other phones with rubbing alcohol. I'm concerned about using rubbing alcohol on my GNEX because of the olephobic coating. Apparently people say it's not durable.
