Scratched Diamond Screen ??

[vaderthedog]

the diamond,as we all know has a very weak screen..anything will make a permanent scratch,even your fingernail !....the point is once scratched it looks terrible...the only soultion (so far) is to install the white mannila theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433050
as this completely hides all the scratches...more white/grey /light coloured themes would really help all thoses scratched diamonds out there..so theme makers please do some variations on light/white coloured themes as the scratch problem will only get worse !:D

That's why there are Screen Protectors.

The screen protector is rubbish too though, i have scratches on mine that have gone through that to the screen.

We all know that accidents can happen to scratch the touch screens but if people just use the inside of their fingers or use the Stylus you shouldn't have a problem. I never have even after 5 touch screen PDA/Phones.

Or you can try furniture polish

What the hell are you doing to your screen to get deep scratches like that? :confused:

Razor blades do not make good stylus

:eek::eek::eek: Those things actually work by grinding down the surface layer so that the scratch is less diffractive. I seriously wouldn't use that on your phone, unless you want to destroy it completely.

I was under the impression you can send it off to have the sreen repaired.


Surely you can polish scratches out?

thats how most polishes work... they either fill it in or take a little bit off the surface.

the best i have found with previous devices is Acrylic Polish (like very fine T-Cut)

you wont break the device using it! :rolleyes:

I used toothpaste and a soft cloth, to buff out light scratches from my diamond, it wont completely erase them, but it helps

My mates Dad just jabs at his screen with his car keys, it makes me cringe to think about it.:eek:

Surprisingly I took a dremel tool and put a cotton bit on the end, cranked the bugger to full speed and melted the scratch away. Need to be careful with how you do it but it does work. I suppose if you just go right at it and not pay close enough attention you'd warp the screen though...
