The outside display is pretty much like any phone screens but how about the inside screen?
How are you cleaning them?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Clean microfiber towel.
likewise, clean DRY microfibre towel
Since I put my Gala y Fold in a pouch so I see some dust or lint on the inside screen.
How about you guys?

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.
I thought I'd just do a poll, this really could apply to any phone so I put this poll in a popular phone forum section. I remember for my SGS2, it took 7 tries (ie 7 protectors) to get one on perfectly, ie no dust no bubbles whatsoever. That equated to a total wastage of $30+ before finally nailing one.
Just got a new phone (Note 2), bought the Steinheil Ultra Crystal. 1st one in the pack, about 10 pieces of dust. 2nd one in the pack, 3 pieces of dust. Total wastage, $18. FML
I have found if it's not on perfect 1st time, lifting it up to dab away dust with scotch tape introduces more dust.
Apply it in your bathroom with some steam generated by hot shower or crane.

What I find helpful is place the phone on a newspaper. Do not use cloth because it would only create cloth particles and sticking them onto your phone as your breath when applying the screen. In addition, wipe off the screen with a clean cloth dampened with a little ethyl alcohol. Allow the screen to dry and then use another cloth (the ones that come with your screen protectors) to wipe off. Make sure you do this under as much lighting as possible. Once you don't see any specs of dust on the screen start lining up the screen protector from one end of the phone so you know exactly how the screen looks on the phone. The final steps involve peeling off the cover and laying it on the screen. Do this slowly. Press down on the screen as you peeling off the cover. I would not peel off the screen and then stick it onto the phone. This will most likely increase your chance of getting minute dust particles sticking on the screen. Always check for dust on the screen as you go. If you see any, stop right away and blow it off and reapply. This method does not completely prevent the dust particles from sticking onto the screen protector but it will minimize it.
One. I clean the phone with my shirt and water. Clean it with the microfiber cloth. Peel about 1/8 inch off the screen protector, apply to phone slowly while removing film and use the card provided in screen protector box to flatten it our with bubbles. Any bubbles and I lift slightly and re apply. Easy peezy

Use the Hinge method
Just bought a 100x screen protectors for $20 time to try this out
where I work, we have controlled rooms to avoid particulate in the materials, I tried in these rooms, and I can assure that it's better to do it in the shower (LOL)
Or you can buy one of these protectors that include an spray, it's completely safe to put on of these, even in the case you screw it up, you can remove it, and apply more spray and put the protector again.
(i will never buy a normal protector after use the ones with an spray included)
I use the hinge method, works first time most times even in a room with lots of dust.
is it really possible to do it perfectly?
that, I got to see.
I tried it so many times I even can't remember, and I never succeeded.
Anyhow I gave up

None. My gorilla glass is nearly unscratchable. Phone was dropped face down on cement and just a tiny micro scratch on the bezel.

Wow you are so lucky your screen didnt break! hope not to come off as patronising but these things break so easy....get that thing some protection man. Mine broke on its first fall.
I've wasted so many with specs of dust ruining it I do them all after I've had a shower while still naked and hot water running and it works every time.

I don't see how a screen protector saves a screen from smashing tho. Gorilla glass is good and I find the closer they are to the lcd the better smash protection.

You guys should try out the SGP Curved Crystal... its freking amazing feels as if theres nothing on your screen.
I got my screen protector on first try...
Currently using a cheapo screen protector I bought from eBay for like a dollar.
Honestly, there's nothing to it.
Clean screen>Placement>Credit card to lightly remove air bubbles>Peel>Microfiber to remove any smaller bubbles.
Bam!
I've been using BestSkinEver for all my devices. Perfect application on first try everytime. That's probably the nature of wet application ones though.

Hinge method. Then if there's particals trapped beneath, use tape to remove them.

I always use belkin ones, every time it goes on perfect.
Here's a tip if you are getting a lot of dust under it.
Take 2 sticky tapes and place one on the corner of the screen. Lift your protector up with one piece of tape and get that dusty ***** underneath it with the other one.
Also a very good tip! If you are experiencing a lot of dust in your environment whilst placing the protector. Place the protector in the bathroom after a long shower! No kidding!
It helps to clean the apartment first - seriously-
A trick I learned with the old white macbooks. Use a mr. clean magic eraser to clean the back of the white galaxy s3 if it is starting to discolor. This works on pretty much any white plastic and will take the dirt right off with little effort without damaging the gloss.

Just be careful with any unprotected and dyed surfaces. It'll strip the dye right off.

Yeah, you should take the cover off the phone before cleaning the cover with it. But I've never stripped paint off plastic using them. Worst case scenario, you buy a new battery cover lol, but you won't need to. The magic erasers really are the best thing ever, literally just lifts the dirt up and nothing else.

Does anyone use wipes or what can you recommend to clean the M8,usually just wipe it with my t-shirt but surely there's got to be a better way to clean this phone?

I use a microfiber cloth. Once in a few days. Take it out the case and wipe her down .

Same here maybe once a week full clean out of the case. With a tempered screen protector only need to clean screen maybe once every three days. I just use a generic LCD cleaner spray from radio shack or wherever to clean the entire device and microfiber cloth or regular hand towel. With no screen protector and this device having latest gorilla glass protection, micro fiber cloth is a little over the top but to each their own.
After I clean I also use compressed air to get anything out of the open ports and speaker holes.
I've a tempered screen protector and very good it is too but is prone to smudging on the screen.

so one of the ironies of using the Official Book Cover for the Note 10.1 (2014) is that the inner felt-type lining actually picks up a bit of dirt, fuzz, etc. — probably picked up from hands, tables, etc.
how do you guys keep that part of the case clean? i can see the lining becoming kinda dingy after several months otherwise.
Use a vacuum cleaner with the little upholstery brush attachment ?
