deep scratch on screen, any scratch remover that you could recommend

hi,
i accidentally scratched my screen, anybody knows what can be done to remedy this?
thanks

actually scratch removers peel down a little bit of your surface and for a touchscreen I can´t recommend any scratch removers at all! Think you have to live with it although even on a normal screen you can´t remove deep scratches only light ones.

though, i think it's there forever mate, a screen change may be?
that's why i always insist on a screen protector since day 1, didn't the package come with a screenguard?

You can also try and put a screen protector to sort of cover up for it.

yeah, thats what i thought....
thanks for the replies

which one did you use? the protector or the polish? if polist, it actually took the scratch away without harming the touch sensitivity of the screen?
thanks

HTC Diamond Replacement Screen
HTC quoted a friend £75 for labour and brand new replacement screen.

I used the scratch remover.
And it works pretty nice.
i can only see some leftover superficial scratches when the sun shines on it.
i am happy with it.
75 is not bad for a new screen!
Where did he do that?

in the diamond accesory forum, you will find the same topic.

They sell the digitizer (which is what you scratched) on EBay. It will require you to take your phone apart. You could check with HTC to see if they would let you do a warranty exchange.

Well, depends how badly do you scratch your screen. I'm just curious, what thing do you use to scratch the screen? AFAIK sands will easily scratch the screen.
To fix light scratch, you can use some polishing compound used in car and polish it.

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen capable I think?

Would be interesting/good if that is true.
Samsung service centre told me before that the original amoled screen, touch panel and glass comes as a single unit/ part.
Hope you are right.

The capacitive touch panel IS the glass. You cannot order any glass and place it on top of the screen. You need a touch panel, and yes, they come as an assy with the screen.

For 100% You will need a touch panel.

i still have the touch on the screen and am still able to use the phone i know its a oem screen from samsung as the screen was new when got it from shop ... funny how people jump the gun and think that somethink that (cant be done ) can be done im happy to go on fb ring txt and everything else on this phone with the glass OFF!!! and is 100% useable can even upload a video to youtube and will show you lot wrong hahaha whos larfing now ..... my ass you need to go out and buy the whole lot ... no you dont as i have showen you . the way i found out was i had a old samsung i9000 and it was busted to hell . so had a go at taking the screen away from the bk and saw that you have the screen then touch panel glued together then the touch to the glass so i fort with my working i9000 (with cracked glass only) i start tapping away from the front and there you have it . it started to work and then atm to stop me from scraching the touch sheet coz its not glass its like a soft plastic i am using a screen guard and its working a charm .... show me wrong people but im sat here with the glass off my phone and phone still working . i give this job a 9/10 on hardness tho so good luck

hi, if anyone is still interested. this is really pssible, ive separated the outer glass 5 min ago. used a thin sheet of plastic and the heat of a hair dryer. it took me an hour to do so

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen

Funny how people can't seem to be able to read.
He's PROVEN separate glass to be the case, it's not a question.
Now whether or not a new glass can be fitted onto the old capacitive layer just like that remains to be seen...

i can CONFIRM, that the outer Gorilla glass is just a tempered glass thats glued to lcd/digitizer assebly with transparent silicone-like glue. the touchscreen works 100% fine without the gorilla glass. ive ordered the replacement for outer glass and will report back when i get it and if it works right with some video footage. unfortunately i wil have to wait for it for about 3 week, because its located in china

Did the new glass worked?
Hello there, since I recently got my glass look like a willow tree at the late autumn (dropped my Galaxy S and the glass is all cracked up) but the touchscreen is still intact and fully operational and working flawlessly I am interested on your progress to know if it's possible to fix just the glass and to get eventual information on how you did it if you succeeded with replacing just the glass, info on where you got a new glass and stuff would also be much appreciated in case your homemade repair worked. Thanks in advance.

Any news? The ten days should be over now....

Same problem
Any news? I have the same problem.

IT IS POSSIBLE... but i have failed
Last days i have finally try to change only the glass on my i9000. No success, but i was very close.
After i have clean the remaining glue from the glass that i buy i have follow the steps from the youtube video from post before. I mention that S3 glass seems to be more flexible and the glue a little more soft.
I have warm up the display surface but not to warm (after i remove the main-board and other).
After i have started to take the glass piece by piece with my swiss multi knife (big mistake)
I have proceed with careful until i have started to be more and more sure at me, and, as you can imagine i have make the big mistake - broke the display.
I don't know if in glass removing process or when i have try to remove the remaining glue with a microfiber tissue i have press a little to hard and i broke the display (a little rift).
I have failed but i am sure if you have patience and more appropriate tool you can succeed.
Please take in calculus that without the glue between the two parts the screen is more reflexive and the contrast is not like before. There is no electrical connection between the touch and the display.
Now the touch under the rift on the screen is not working anymore and the phone is almost useless. The top part of display is working perfect!
Sorry for my english and here is some pictures:

Nice

[Q] Screen

I have a question, is there a way to remove the scratches from x8 screen?
My screen really looks bad and the worst part and that makes me trully sick is that it wasn't even my fault! You know when friends ask you to see your cell and send it straight to the floor? That's it.
Would it help if I used screen protectors now? I heard it disguises it.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it has a screen protector, if it does it isn't noticeable. I remember it came with one but I took that out many months ago.
Thanks anyway

I have screen protector from ebay or dealextreme (not sure any more) and it's almost unnoticeable visualy and touchscreen works with no difference.
If phone came with one already on, I have 2 now and have no problem with that
If you want to change it you only need to change digitizer. It's not too expensive. You can put cypres one for real dual touch if you don't have one now.

Thanks! I'll check fo prices of the digitizer. Mine is synaptics (I think it's called that), do you think cypress is better? I know it has errors with some roms/kernels.

Bro,you will have real dual-touch with cypress:>.

[Q] About screen protective glass

Hm.. I have a weird problem. I've just bought a LG Optimus 4X HD from someone(well, it is mine by 1-2 weeks) and it doesn't look like having any protective glass at all. Scratches are appearing on the screen everyday.. i mean, wth ? the screws don't appear to me disassembled so it couldn't be a changed touch screen without Gorilla. Am I the only one having this problem ?

Its not impossible, look here http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/for-lg-optimus-4x-hd-p880-touch-screen.html
Ive had my phone about a year, and theres not a single scratch on the screen, if yours i scratching at that rate id say its a cheap replacement. id get a screen protector asap if i was you.

I know it isn't impossible but it doesn't look like there was any change in this phone.
Oh.. btw, thanks.
