So I bought a vertical leather pouch, apparently the offical T-Mobile one. Used my HD7 with it for a few days until my clear coloured argyle silicone case arrived. Went from the leather pouch and to the silicone case every few days and now I've noticed an odd stain/discolouration on the bottom part of the back case!?
I can't tell if it's the black coming off the leather pouch or if it's coming off the silicone case but I'd get it cleaned off! The diamond shapes in the stain make me think it's from the silicone case but it's not black so I'm entirely sure where it's coming from but it's getting worse
Any ideas anyone on how to safely remove this stain without ruining my back cover? I tried soap & water, pencil eraser, magic eraser, lysol wipes.. I'm afraid to go with a harsher chemical.
have you tried rubbing it in circles (medium to hard pressure) using a microfibre cloth (dry)? maybe the phone heat (which is usually on that location) caused some reaction with the plastic case and/or pouch ur using (especially the cases are tight)?
dude im having the same prob and i dont have any case windex seems to work ok for me though

I haven't tried a microfibre cloth. Not sure I have one. Are those the cloths used to clean LCD screens?? Anyway I also tried "Goo Gone" best known for removing the sticky stuff after peeling off tape or stickers but even that had no effect on this damn stain. I tried rubbing it softly with a q-tip and with a harsher cloth.
I haven't tried Windex yet. Maybe my issue is not cleaning right after it stained. But it's almost like this material of the casing is working against me and not easy to clean.
mines starting to do the same thing plus im not using a case
Yup, microfiber cloth used for cleaning the LCD (not the cheap ones that comes with some of the screen protectors). hope the stain problem gets resolved soon!

Wow..
I just tried the microfiber and nothing.. Tried Magic Eraser again and nothing.. Tried Windex on a paper towel and nothing. Scrubbed hard too
This is ridiculous. And it's not like I can buy that piece to replace mine either. I don't care so much about the stain but I know when I sell it down the road the next person will cry about it. And I'd hate to this of having to discount the phone for some annoying stain.
Anyone know if I can buy the 2 piece replacement backing anywhere?? Should I try calling HTC for it maybe?
I unfortunately had a nose bleed and a drop of blood fell on the Gorilla Glass screen of my Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
I used one of these wet wipes on the screen, then wiped it off with a damp paper towel. http antibac.no/alias.html?id=1034312
The solvent contains denatured alcohol, glycerol and is meant as a hand sanitizer. Now I'm worried that I've damaged the glass or Super AMOLED on the phone. Have i damaged the screen/gorilla glass?
its very very very hard to damage the screen. so if you don't see any damage then its okay.

It's a form of hardened glass, not a plasticky gimicky display.
If you wouldn't expect standard glass to be damaged, you wouldn't expect this to be...
I've read different places that they have thin plastic film over the screens on various glass displays. Well the phone looks and behaves in perfect condition, I love my Galaxy S!
Yea, it's fine, don't worry you'll give yourself a nosebleed.
i didn't have any nose bleeds
but my screen is really dusty. lots of smudges.
the sides and corners gathered quite a bit of dirt.
whats the usual method to clean it, and make it look brand new again
Just get a decent micro-fibre cloth for cleaning the screen.
Works for me ...

I can't answer your question about possible damage but I can tell you what works for me.
I normally use either glasses cleaner (alcohol based) or my own solution of about 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and distilled water with a lens tissue. When I'm on the go I use Optico cleaning wipes. They work really well but they are a little more expensive than the aforementioned wipes & glasses cleaner method. http://www.optico.ca/eng/products_optico_list_1.php
I'm on my second Galaxy S but both phones never had a single scratch or damage. I love Gorilla Glass!

I used to get them a lot when I was a kid, rarely happens anymore... maybe a bit too much information for this forum?
It's a great phone, BEST phone I've owned. I only wish the battery cover was of as solid material as the rest of the phone.

Glass is a glass, its chemically resistant to most of things like gasoline, alcohol...
use the chamois cloth damped in mild soapy water
i'm cleaning it with a microfiber clean thing
my screen doesn't seem to get dirty, or smudgey? Well it gets slightly smudged when I use it but next time I get it out my pocket it's clean again. This gorilla glass seems pretty resistant to smudges
LOL this happend also too me.
My bro putted a screenprotector on my mobile(not the galaxy s but the lg 2x and it also has gorilla glass). Before placing he cleaned my mobile screen with wet wipes that had a skin-friendly care lotion
It is alcohol free and also skin-friendly because of a PH of 5,5
I was reading on internet at moment about people saying that you must not do this. The coating of the mobile screen will get removed etc because of alcohol and other things.
So i don't need too worried when i read this right?

+1 that works just fine for me too! lol
I've scratched my screen. It's a little scratch, but it's here and I don't understand how I made it.
What can I do?

Seriously now, just one thing there is NO plastic/organiglass/plexi film on the Gorilla Glass on SGS, as it wasn't on HD2.
considering that - there is no risk that any organic solvent can damage it (in fact, from inorganic chemicals, only hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis can do it).
HOWEVER: there is ALWAYS the risk, that the solvent will penetrate, and damage the silicon/rubber seal around the glass, and will enter the phone crevices, where it MAY cause some damages to the covered by paint electronics.
Gorilla flashgun is a pretty strong glass but still I have a very mall scratch and a big one at lower corner.

hi, i have a question about a back cover of the xperia z1. i bought the white one, but i was thinking that a black back cover would be really nice on my white phone. or the purple one would be nice too.
Now i was thinking to buy a back cover of the z1 in black or purple on ebay for 15-25 euro and then just stick it on the back of my phone. i don't want to open my z1, just stick it on the back. Do you think that would work? The only thing i see as a problem is that the opening of the camera is too narrow. What do you think?
thanks in advance!

There's an adhesive around the edges of the glass so you would see the gap probably, as for the camera you can just pop out of remove the lens on the glass you want to stick on.

is the adhesive thick? Because now that i know that i can remove the lens, i really want to do it right know
also, if i want to take it off, will it be easy? or do i have to use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive. i am actually scared because then the heat will affect the adhesive on my actual white back glass. Or could i use like a knife to make a hole or sometime to break the vacuum? (just some random thoughts)
No you would need to heat up the adhesive, use a suction cup to pull it off. If you are careful you should be able to reuse the white glass again. Might not be safe for waterproofing reasons but would still stay on. The adhesive isn't very thick but I think you would see it being raised a little but if you put it on top of the white glass.

OK so the top of the phone above the screen the gap there...yeah its full of dust and tiny pocket lint so I thought OK let me stick paper in there and fish that crap out...all it did was smear it and what I got out was minimal. It's just a pain to look at every time I need to look at the screen I can see the dust in between the gap. Anyone else having this problem ?
Note 4
You knew about this issue before you bought the phone. Get a can of dust spray and you good. Avoid sticking it in your pockets. Was pants with pockets pulled out so it clean if you do stick it in
NOTE 4
I wouldn't recommend spraying with air. I may just push dust inside phone and collect on front camera lens. What I did: I rubbed in a clear silicone into this tiny gap around screen and wiped it clean. Now im sure that no dust can enter inside. I was contemplating to use uv glue leftover from my note 2 screen replacement but is a little more messy to clean out than silicone (but is perfectly clear when cured).

Oh yeah I didn't even think about that. What if I just cut all the pockets out of my pants and then I won't even be tempted to put anything in there.

Nothing under the screen just on the sides
NOTE 4
If the screen were fitted with no room for expansion and contraction of the metal frame it would butt against the glass tight and bind and possibly stress crack, most materials need clearance for this reason but I bet if you warmed your screen with a blow dryer and put force upward you could slide the glass on the adhesive, let it cool in place and with the gaps even all the way around it will look more normal to you, it will move I've done it on my s4 but try at your own risk me no responsible if you put too much pressure and break your glass, hope this will help.
My son and i must have gotten lucky i have no gaps anywhere no dust issues can post sreen shots if you want but mine is as tight as a ticks ass.

No gaps in mine either. Mine is made in Vietnam. Where was yours made?
has anyone ever cleaned their screen with the alcohol wipe from a tempered glass packet and wiped over the ear piece? you know how it leaves slight moisture or bubbles. my question is will that damage my ear piece or decrease the lift span of the one plus 3t ear piece or sound quality? I wiped it right away with micro fiber cloth. I berly got the phone today. does anyone use a screen protector with theirs? I accidentally removed the stock one, is it necessary with gorilla glass?

I have never once had an issue like that as long as you wipe right away.
I have installed hundreds of those wet apply screen protectors.
Oh well..

So you've wiped over to speaker many times with a wet alcohol wipe that comes with screen protector? No problems with the ear piece?

well when i apply my wet screen protectors i make sure to squeegee the liquid out the sides and not near the speakers etc... but if i have no choice, i wipe it away fast and have never had an issue... if you re concerned, then throw your device in some dry rice for the night and let the dry rice absorb the moisture

I removed the screen protector it came with thinking the tempered glass I ordered would fit and it didn't. Nos I'm using the phone without one. Do you think a protector is necessary or gorilla glass is strong enough from damage,scratches or a drop? I have a Spigen Rugged armor case on BTW
not search... do some research, read... i personally use a screen protector on all my devices, regardless... read, and decide on your own
