IPhone :: 3G Replacement Screen Scratches Like Crazy
Feb 4, 2010
I had two 3g iPhones and this is my second 3gs. This new replacement screen is picking up little micro scratches like crazy. My old one was naked for 6 months with no scratches at all and ditto on the 3g phones.
I did not like the .320 screen calibration because the clicking was a bit on the hard side and the bottom buttons were hard to press sometimes. After switching to .428, the screen seems to be too soft. I get the double click effect on the bottom buttons although they are much easier to click now. While typing it just feels too soft. Yes, its easier to click but sort of makes the phone feel a bit cheap. So .320 was a bit too hard and .428 is a bit too soft. I really hope the next leak will put it right in the middle or at least give us an option to change it ourselves.
a scratch is something that you can see on the phone when the screen is on, or when it is off but in normal lighting (not bright sunlight).micro scratches are hairline marks that you cannot see when the display is on, and only show up at certain angles in direct sunlight.
Is there anyway to get rid of light screen scratches? On not sure where they came from, but they're driving me crazy. I didn't get them over 3yrs on my last iPhone, without a screen protector so I'm not sure exactly why they'd popped up.
Does anyone else notice that this phone gets swirls and scratches extremely easy? My 3GS's screen has no scratches in the year I had it and I've had my iPhone 4 since the day is came out and I've also had a bumper on it. The back has a big scratch on the back (but you can't feel it, just visible) and the front has a small scratch. But over the whole entire screen there are hairlines swirls all over. I never had this with my 3GS. Anyone else have this with their (easy scratching)? I don't like putting screen protectors on, never have, but contemplating doing that now.
My 18 months old Nokia Navigator 6210 has suddenly developed several thin black lines across the screen which are spreading across the entire screen area.
Just wondering if any other owners of the Lumia 710 are seeing light scratches on the screen? I've only had the device for a couple of weeks and already have a couple of light scratches that are visible in daylight. I'm very surprised at this as I keep the phone in a case most of the time and have been very careful with the device in general. If kept in a pocket it has always been on its own with no keys or coins. I've owned several other devices over the last few years, with and without Gorilla Glass, and have never had a single scratch on any screen after months of use. To have a couple on the 710 after only a few weeks is rather alarming.
I've been using my X10 mini for 3-4 months now. The screen is already full of scratches (even with careful use), some are smaller, some are larger.
what products would be best (and in any case, not make things any worse) to polish the screen? Some products which can be found from Amazon or eBay would be great.
I'm thinking of buying an invisibleSHIELD for the phone, but I'd like to have a scratch-free screen underneath it.
Are screen scratches covered under warranty. I've never used anything other than the stylus, it lives it's life in soft case, yet the screen is covered in scratches..especially where the scroll bars would appear.This is my 3rd phone.. the other 2 didn't scratch like this one has.
I had replaced the screen once, then it was working fine for a day, the next day it went gray, the screen has a gray scaling on it, then later on it just went to blank screen into white. I tried many things but it didn't work therefore I replaced the screen the second time then it started working again, but after a few hours it went off to black screen and the phone heated up soo high, since then its not turning on, I have had the battery replaced but its still not turning on.
I have a white iPhone 4. It's out of warranty, and the screen broke, so I got it replaced, however ever since my signal keeps on dropping (I seemed to have fixed it by resetting network settings) but when I put it in my pocket and take it out, it's always searching for network. However that's not my problem, ever since I got the screen replaced my 3G doesn't work, it doesn't detect 3G at all and it's all enabled. I tested my sim in my other phone and 3G works fine, I did let the shop know who replaced my screen so they will be looking into it, however I wanted to find out how much an out of warranty iphone would cost if I took this to apple?
How many of you have your BB with Screen scratches? Mine got some after lending it to my sister! She talked about replacing the faceplate or buying Displex!
Received new iPhone 4 yesterday. The screen has a 1 inch hairline scratch. Called Apple Store & was told that they would swap the phone for an unboxed "service" phone. Does anyone know whether these phones are actually new or just recycled or previously returned phones?
cracked mine and was curious if there's any cheap replacements out there to fix me up until I get my next phone.I checked around, but can't even find them.
I have a Samsung convoy 2 and I have broken the front outside LCD. I think too much pressure was placed on the screen in my pocket and the LCD cracked although the plastic covering the LCD is in perfect condition. I have found a replacement lcd online but I'm not sure how to replace it.
I picked up a used ATT Lumia 1520 a few days ago and have had this usage issue with the people app. Its using a crazy amount of battery in the background and I can't seem to stop it. I have already hard reset it twice trying to get rid of it.
There is some news flying around about a possible hardware replacement, or recall for storm 2's with the know dead and mulitple click issues. bbleaks.com/2010/03/carriers-getting-new-screen-improved.html
Its just for verizon, but I am wondering if anyone else has heard about this?, Also I am wanting to find out if this will be strictly through the carrier, becuase I have a unlocked vodafone I use in canada, hopefully I can go direct to RIM.
Managed to drop my Storm 2 and cracked the screen. All working OK, but bits of glass falling off was about to order a new LCD and noticed there seem to be two versions - version 2 and version 3. Any ideas on how I know which version I should order, or doesn't it matter?
I could had sworn I saw a tutorial on how toreplace the StormLCD screens here som where with pictures? Can somebody guide me to it if you know off hand. Also where can I buy Storm 9530 LCD replacement screens from?
I cracked the glass LCD lens cover on my 9700 bold and i need to know where i can get the replacement part or get it repaired, everywhere i look they have lens covers for all berrys BUT the 9700...
I have a T-Mobile Dash 3G with a broken LCD screen. Can anyone suggest a place where I can buy a replacement screen? Could only find one website, and they were charging over $50 shipped. I have a dash 2g as well, will that screen work on it? If not, can anyone recommend a good place to buy a replacement LCD?
Just upgraded from 8330 to 8530. I am not a moron with these phones, but I can not get an unread email notification to disappear. I have no new messages, I have done repeated battery pulls, I have changed themes, I have gone through all my email accounts. I havd searched through this board, and don't see any other ideas that might solve this issue. At this point the little #1 at the top of my screen is my arch nemesis. Anyone have any other ideas?
I have a Samsung Highlight T749. I bought a replacement oem touch screen. The add said it was easy to do but I am having difficulty locating where the touch screen wire connects to. When I took the old screen off, the wires just came right up and I didn't see where they connect to. I think I have to take the phone apart even futher, but am afraid I might break something since I don't know how it is supposed to come apart.
Posting because I don't know if anyone else has this same problem or not with cases. With my iPhone 3GS, I put an ifrog case on it and an encase. I also used a zagg shield. Worked great! After about 8 months of using that set up I noticed that dirt dust whatever gets in between the case and the phone and scratched he phone up pretty bad. My bezel is scratched, the plastic back is scratched. WTF. Now I am reluctant to use a hard case on my new iphone or iPad. Anyone else experience this?
