I think that it's a piece of adhesive tape. When you are applying a screen protector and notice that there is a dust particle stuck underneath, gently remove that part of screen protector already applied and use the adhesive tape to take the dust particle off the screen.
I am not 100% sure but it could be that.

From that blurry picture I really can't tell you what it is, you got any other photos of it?

a piece of advice, try to put on the screen protector while in a steamy room, like a shower, otherwise there are many dust particles in the air, even if you clean the screen throughly before applying the protector some dust particles tends to apear from nowhere!!
if in a steamy room there is less partiles in the air and you have a better chance of putting it on without dust underneath.

From now one you're my guru. When I'll buy another Nillkin screen protector I'll apply it in the bathroom.
And I'm not being sarcastic.. I've destroyed both front and back protector with all the dust particles ;/ I suck ;p
I was wearing a head lamp when applying it ( to see each and every dust particle) and as you said they were just appearing from nowhere damn you dust..

Where to get screen protector service?

Anyone know of good retailers that specialize in putting on screen protectors with no zero dust particles or bubbles on the Xperia Z? I upgraded from an iPhone 4s last week and I cannot even get this thing even near perfect on my own. I've been putting on screen protectors myself for the past four years on the 3gs and 4s 100% perfect with no dust or bubbles. This thing is just too big and the already added screen protector by Sony is extremely difficult to clean.
Hi there,
Since this is your first post, maybe you should tell first where are you from? In this way people from your area could help you .
But maybe this will help you how to put screen protector on by yourself:

The trick for perfect sticking of any screen protector is the use of soapy water. Just take some water (50-100 ml) and mix it with a drop of liquid soap. Then wet your fingers, wet the display, peel off the protective layer from screen protector (with wet fingers) and gently put it over the screen. The soapy water allows you to reposition if any misalignment. After alignment is ok, start squeezing out the water from the center to exterior. After max. 1 or 2 days (complete dryout) you have perfect screen protector applied without being an expert.

Nice tip memtronic, will try that next time.

Dust under screen ?

I forgot to carefully survey my brand new screen before putting on protector on it, which has as always has 2 or 3 dust particles under it. I'm worried that since I didn't look at the screen very carefully before putting the protector on, that it's actually under the screen glass and not the protector but if I lift it up to check it will ruin the application. Do these super amoled screens have issues with dust getting between the glass and screen during manufacture or is this not a problem ?
Possibly? If it's a crappy screen protector, who cares. 99.9% chance it's under the protector, so get it out. If it's a glass one, it's possible to lift it up on the edge and slide a dust removal sticker or piece of tape under and get the dust out... I did it on my G3 but I kept losing grip of the corner under my fingernail so there is a slight part of the corner that no longer sticks perfectly.

To prevent this, instead of using your fingernail which causes a slight bend in the plastic, use a piece of tape stuck to the corner to slowly lift the corner edge without bending. I use to always bend corners before switching to this method.

Well mine is glass and cost $30 which is why I didn't want to replace it. If it's a cheap plastic one, just replace it and do it right.

Sumsung fuses the Glass and Digitizer, so it is highly unlikely that the dust is actually under the screen.
it is dust free

What he said. I've had that problem in the past with iPhones (LCD) but it shouldn't be an issue with Samsung's AMOLEDs. It's infinitely more likely that you just have dust under the screen protector. I install these at work all the time, sometimes it happens.

[Q] Anti Shatter Film / Film thingy

Guys, does the z3 compact has any anti shatter film or the film thingy after the front glass? Becuase i noticed my front glass has a small stragiht line about half an inch from the side of the screen. Its just like a crack and when i use my nails it feels its somehow cracked. So im wondering if its a film cover that has been scratched on top of the glass or is it already the glass.
as far as I know it doesn't have a film no... So it's probably a scratch on the glass itself :-/
Hate to resurrect an old thread, but Xperia Z3s do have a plastic anti-shutter film. I bought a device with a cracked screen. The crack was so small that I thought it was on the film. So, I removed it, but the crack was underneath,. By the way, unlike on Z1 and Z2, Z3 screen film leaves a horrible glue residue that CANNOT be removed by alcohol or any other glue thinner: tried them all. Since I didn't need the original screen, I tried to scrub some spots with a scalpel. It worked without damaging the original glass, but to clean the entire screen would take the whole day. So, thank you, Sony, again... for making a glass screen covered with cheap plastic.
I bought an after-market display: I didn't use generic sticky, but instead applied B7000 adhesive glue. I bought a bottle with a fine metal tip; put a thin layer of glue on the frame; let it sit for 2 minutes, and then set the screen applying little pressure. After that, I put the phone under about 20 pounds of book weight and let it sit overnight. I am not sure about waterproofing, but it looks and feels like the screen has become a part of the frame: no movement, no squeaking at all...

[Q] Xperia Z1 Water Under Screen Protector

Hi guys!
I apologise if this is in the wrong section, this is my first post.
I just applied a Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass Screen Protector.
I used a recommendation I saw on this forum to run a hot shower to avoid dust going under the protector.
What's happened now is that it's visible when the screens off, that moisture is visible under the protector, from the humidity of the bathroom.
Will this go away with time? Can this affect the screen? I don't really want to remove the protectors, as it's brand new with no air bubbles.
Cheers,
Alex

It should go away after some time I hope. I had no problems when applying my nilkin 9H tempered glass screenprotectors and it is fully waterproof! Unless you didn't apply it correctly and the screenprotector accidentally lifted up you might have to move it! With most of these screenprotectors, you can remove them and re-apply them without the glue being destroyed

Thank you I probably won't remove it as there is no air bubbles etc. Just a bit of an OCD thing haha ?
I did use a hairdryer on it for a bit but it didn't go away. It kinda looks like oil as well.
Thanks,

Question Frequent accumulation of dust on screen

I'm seeing frequent dust accumulation on the screen where my fingers interact with the screen (my fingers are washed clean BTW) and also on the edges of the case that came with the phone. Thinking about a screen guard if it solves the issue. Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.
Same here. In my opinion it's cause of the screen protector attached by Xiaomi.
Yes it happens to me as well, lot of dust on the screen
I believe it's because of the stock film protector. I had the same issues but for some reason my protector started peeling off so i got rid of it. Now it's nice and clean.
Wipe it off with a dry microfiber cloth.
Increase room humidity.

Had an old S4 and just to see how long the scratch free display could last in a case without a screen protector, I removed the protector.
It lasted about 6 months and in spite of being careful it had 3 scratches.
Sand will easily scratch the glass.
Think about it before you remove the factory protector about having an after market one to put on that day. My 10+ display would have been marred and perhaps even broken by now without one. Not just sand but direct contact with metal and gravel in falls when it face planted.
Easier and cheaper to replace a screen protector than the display... or look at scratches.
