BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Dust Under One Of The Corners - Under Plastic Screen Not Under Invisible Shield
Apr 2, 2010
I've got a week old 8520, put an invisible shield on the other day and it looks ok. One corner is screwed up because I had to peel it up to remove a speck of dust but over all it looks fine. I just noticed today that there was some dust under one of the corners, but it's under the plastic screen not under the invisible shield. I thought these screens were sealed? It hasn't been dropped or anything, barely been used. Any advise besides taking it off and cleaning it out? What else besides the special plastic tool can be used to remove the screen?
Hey everyone, I'm a new Curve 8530 user with sprint and have had my 8530 for about 6 days now and I just happened too look down at the screen while it was locked and the bottom left corner is full of dust on the inside.... Has anyone else seen this on the 8520/30 yet? Is it difficult to get a replacement device?
What's the best way to get rid of the dust under the screen of a 8530? I recently noticed this and my carrier said it was caused by dust getting in through the speaker area on top of the phone and that there was nothing they could do, they tried using a canned air, but didn't budge. I asked both U.S. Cellular and Verizon reps what I should do and they say that I need to replace the phone. (Contact my Insurance Company, which is DTS Insurance I believe my carrier uses.)
So far to correct the issue I've applied a case that covers up most cracks and a privacy protector which made it so I can see the dust under the screen. but, still I'd like to know how to fix the issue.
So far the only thing I can think of is to take the housing apart and probably just put a new housing on, but clean the lcd underneath the plastic screen.
I have a ton of dust under my screen right now, and it is really starting to bother me. Is there any way to get the dust out of the screen? I don't mind taking the phone apart if it gets rid of it. I already tried to take the phone to the VZW store, but they didn't do anything.
I bought HTC Desire HD invisible-shield and installed it , but when i was installing it i didn't saw that there was dust on it now invisibleshield is instaled and under it yuo can see dust So can I remove invisible-shield, clean screen and install it again? I installed it yesterday .
I'm having trouble with my camera. it is always blurry and dim and although there was some dust on the lense, which i cleaned off, it remains partially blurry and dim. My brother and I have the same phone and the same settings on the camera (Automatic light balance, large picture size, superfine, normal color effect), but his shows up much brighter and clearer. I just turned his camera and mine on and pointed both at the same object and it was almost like night and day. the only difference I have noticed is that when you turn on your camera, to the left of the screen is a number. Mine reads 1000+ and his reads 008. What do these numbers mean? Is this what is causing the difference, and can that be changed?
I used invisible shield on my ipod touch and was reasonably happy but the iphone 4 has such a smooth, glossy screen, I wondering if I want to add something with as tacky a feel as the invisible shield. What are you people all using for your iphone film protector?
Im thinking of getting the Zagg invisible shield because I want my phone to be naked but still somewhat protected. Has anyone put the invisible shield on their iphone 4? If so should I get the full body or just the front and back? I'm also a little worried that it will unstick at some point and start to peel off. Any feedback would be great.
I was thinking about getting some sort of full phone screen protectors and I called BB and asked if they had a kiosk that installed the screen protector shields for you and they said all they did have an invisible shield kiosk where they would "install" it for you in under 20 minutes.but they only have covers for the front screen.I have a few questions before i consider buying one though.Which of the two is least noticeable, and which would you prefer.
Is Best Buy good for applying Invisible shield or other products simmilar to this? I know the iPhone has water sensors in almost every port and i want to make sure they don't turn orange and activate.When they apply the shield for you do you get to watch or do they do it in a back room somewhere?
Has anyone gotten this done and how has it turned out? Would you recommend getting the shield put on by Best Buy employees or DIY?I've never had any experience with the protectors that need water or some sort of liquid to be applied. I have put on some cheap screen protectors on my old 3GS and they worked great but i can't seem to find any protectors that cover both the front and back of the phone (sides would be nice too) that don't need liquid to adhere to the phone.
If anyone knows of a phone protector that covers both the front and back of the phone and can be applied without spray it would be extremely helpful. If there are any that include side protection too that would help.
I recently purchased & installed a invisible Shield protector on my Samsung SGH-T749 & it was a bit of a struggle to get it right. When it completely dried, I noticed several small black specks that were large enough to make a bump that can be felt with a fingernail & holds the film up a bit. I had purchased a couple of discounted IS packs for discontinued phones for $2.49 & looked at one of them & saw the same specks under the film. This sample had never been removed from the backing, but had specs on it's back side too. I emailed Zagg & tole them about the specks & got the following response. (Now, they do offer to replace the product, but it is apparent that they don't feel that the specks are their fault, or they don't believe me, as they don't mention the specs at all. I am not going to get mine replaced & am looking for an alternative.) BTW The credit card pre-charges & requiring me to return the "defective" one don't constitute a "courtesy replacement", in my mind. They called it an "installation difficulty!" Incidentally, the product shows a bit of "orange peal" texture that is not very attractive.
The ZAGG Team wrote, "I'm sorry to hear that your installation didn't go well. In general, our lifetime replacement guarantee only covers normal wear-and-tear issues, such as scratching and peeling, and typically does not cover installation difficulties, however, I am willing to extend a one-time courtesy replacement for you. To process your replacement request you will be asked to provide a credit or debit card. Your card will be charged a minimal shipping & handling fee. Additionally, your card will be pre-authorized for the retail value of the product you are replacing. You will have 25 days to return your original product. When we receive the original product back, the pre-authorized charge on your credit or debit card will be removed. Your card will be charged in full if the original product is not returned within 25 days".
Has anyone noticed with their invisible shield a vertical rainbow line? It appears on only white / light backdrops? It bothered me for a while so I bought and had a new one installed, sure enough a new one came up on the other side of the screen. Any opinions on how to avoid?
I Don't Want Just A Silicon Case But I Want A Case That Show Off The Phone Like Apple Bumper, Griffin Reveal, And SwitchEasy Nude. Can Someone Please Help Me?
Is anybody noticing that the ZAGG invisibleshield film material doesn't stick worth a damn to the Gorilla Glass on the front and back of the new iP4? The edges peel and the corners lift up and eventually peel back.I've ordered my warranty replacement set from ZAGG already, but the customer service lady tipped me that I am not nearly the first person to call in with the same complaints. Obviously it's either the glass "slickness" or the coating on the said glass that's the culprit.
I've had my 8530 for a little over a month, every once in awhile after I end a call the screen goes blank but when I use the track pad the screen comes back in sections. After I use the track pad to scroll upper left then upper right the bottom right and bottom left the screen is normal. Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm really annoyed right now.No matter what theme I use on my Sprint 8530 5.0 OS the active call/incoming call screen is the ugly default screen.Can somebody please tell me how to fix it or is plazmic working on the issue?It really sucks to have cool themes and this one screen is all jacked up.
I understand lots of people have had the same problem, but I just cannot find a solution which works for my Blackberry 8520!It has a white screen showing nothing, it boots once you put the battery in, and the only way to power it off is to take out the battery, I think it also keeps rebooting.I have replaced the screen - still white screen.I have re-installed the OS - still white screen
I looked through the forum and couldn't find this question answered before, so please forgive me if it has.Is there any way to do away with the Home screen altogether? I'd like to be able to just have the Apps shown. I'm sure there's probably a theme out there to do it, but I'd rather not have to use a theme.
So basically I must have pressed Alt and Enter and the language options came up. I cleared that screen and now every time I go to type whether in an email, bbm, sms, or my browser I have a little EN box in the top right hand corner of my screen. And it's pretty darn annoying. How do I get rid of this?
Just out of curiosity, what do you put on your lock screen? I currently have my name and my husband's phone number, since putting my own number on there would be pointless. So, what do you have on yours?
Just had to downgrade from a Tour to Curve 8530 and I know the screen resolution is much different in terms of clarity. What is the clearest font that looks the best on the 8530? I dont see any option for smoothing.
I downloaded a theme and now I can't get the shortcuts back on my home screen that I had before. Is there a way to change them back ? How do I go back to the way it was with a picture that I had taken as my wallpaper?
When using the browser other other app. And I select Switch Application. How do I set which icons are available from the pop up screen? And sometimes they switch. I want to be able to have icons I use. Not what my BB 8530 thinks should be there.
It will be a couple of days before I can purchase my skin from BSE and was wondering if anyone has any tips on protecting my screen from pesky scratches (I have a tiny one already from over-cleaning the screen, damn fingerprints!) until then. I know it would help, if not eliminate, my fear of scratches if I could just stop cleaning the screen, but those fingerprints drive me mad!
i was in the process of taking apart the 8530, and i got the screen off, then went to remove the bezel. in all the video's i found on Internet they were taking apart verizon phones and the oem bezels are different. the telus bezel is in 2 pieces. the telus sign in the bottom is seperate from the bezel. is there screws holding this telus piece down or do i have to really pry it up. i put some decent force on it but it still didn't move.
