Motorola Droid :: Reappearing / Disappearing Scratches On Screen?
Dec 16, 2009
I was showing off my droid the other day and attempted to wow the audience by keying the scratch proof screen.Note that I do not have any screen protection yet. They were wowed allright but the next day I noticed very very faint scratches on my screen.I gave the screen a good rub with my shirt and they disappeared along with the smudges and dust so i didnt think anything of it.I just checked again a few min ago and I saw those same scratches imprinted in the dust and smudges that had gotten on the screen.I again gave it a good rub and they dissappeared but I'm starting to wonder how the heck is this even happening?

I used to use two Gmail accounts and had both sync the information, with exception to one's contact list since it was empty. However, I've noticed that my contacts, after awhile, disappear from my phone.
At first, they had disappeared from my Google Contacts as well, but a simple restore fixed that and now they are still there (this was around the time Google started to move info to Google+). Now, the contacts disappear from my phone, leaving me with it saying "No contacts", until I reboot my phone again (where it all loads back in again).
I use WhatsApp, ChatOn, Skype, Google+, and Facebook apps.

While looking at my screen in bright sunlight this morning, I noticed there are some light scratches that appear to be under the screen. I can only see them in direct sunlight or under a bright desk light while holding the phone at a certain angle. Is this at all normal? I just got the phone on Friday and noticed this immediately and haven't dropped it, pocketed it with keys, etc. I would think if the scratches were on the outside of the glass, they would be easier to notice. Would you send it back for a replacement?

My Droid has a very small scratch on the screen. It's not bad enough to have a texture (I can't feel it if I rub my finger over it), but it does reflect the light in just a way that makes it fairly visible when a light background is displayed. I'm always very careful with my phone, and I have no idea how it got scratched.I've heard of numerous home remedy type fixes for screens, but some of them sound completely outlandish and some sound like they might damage the screen even worse. Is there any "real" way to fix it or am I stuck with the scratch?Also, does anyone have any recommendations for screen protectors? I've heard that lots of them mess with the touch screen or distort the picture. Are there any truly "good" screen protectors?

Having owned the droid for one day I already have a scratch on the plastic/metal? the side where you plug in the USB. Underneath there are a bunch of scribbles when I tried to plug it in the dark. Also the rubber on the back of the device... the rubber strip that is on top of the camera also has a noticeable tear. I have done nothing to the device except keep it in a clean pocket that had nothing else in it. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Seems like solid build quality with the internal hardware well protected but I worry it can easily be cosmetically damaged.

I wanna start out by saying I love my droid but on thing that bugs the crap out of me is the finish on the top of the thing. It looks nice and polished for a few weeks but then it starts to chip like crazy. The screen is holding up perfectly its just the corners of the bezel. I think they should have gone wth a matte or aluminum finish or even the soft finish like on the battery cover.

Anyone having issues with scratches on their screen? Ive had my Evo about 3 weeks now and Im noticing several minor scratches. The only thing the scratches can be from is putting it in and taking it out of my left blue jean pocket. Also, the USB cable / phone connector seems a little flimsy. Anyone having issues with that too?

Well my f'ing Honda key did it again! It got my Eris and now my Incredible. God I am so careful not to put anything in the same pocket as my phone but the one time I was out in board shorts and had to put them in there together all over my screen! I hate screen protectors because I LOVE the feel of the glass and hated my Droid with its Zaggs protector. Oh well I guess I have proof for anyone thinking these screens are scratch proof.

I've heard that the screen is like the HD2 and that thing does not scratch whatever you do to it, but what about the back? I've heard that the texture is the same as the Hero.

I'm considering getting a screen protector, but I'm also wondering how much it'll affect sensitivity/responsiveness. If I do get something to protect my phone, what is the best material/brand/manufacturer to go with? Or perhaps just a leather case would be enough? That way the screen stays perfect and it's still protected when I'm not using it.
After all, I heard the screen quality is pretty good. It's glass, or am I thinking of a different phone? It might not be a "Gorilla" screen like the Samsung Galaxy, but I've heard it's pretty resilient. I think it should be ok with just a leather case, unless anyone here's already got some bad experiences with the screen?

I used my Xperia X10 Mini Pro for a few dyas before I got myself a case or a screen protector. Unfortunately I picked up some minor scratches on the screen even though I was very careful! Can anyone suggest a way to remove the scratches? In the past I have used Displex but I not sure this should be used on a touch screen.

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.Do you guys happen to have any suggestions on 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.Thanks Sony Ericsson for misguiding the customers with specifications promising a scratch resistant screen, while it obviously is just some soft plastic.

My new X10 has got lots of small scratches on it, its my own fault! have dropped it once and not got a case for it yet, is there any way of buffing the scratches out? I can get a new screen (about 50 off ebay) but dont really want to spend money on a new screen if i can help it.

I've noticed numerous pictures and videos have just disappeared from my phone, ever since I installed 2.2. I thought maybe I had just deleted one video that I noticed was gone, but in looking last night, I found about 14 pictures, and 2 videos were gone. I know I had them before the 2.2 update, and I know most of them were still on my phone a few days after the update, but now are gone. I have not read about this being a problem with 2.2, but maybe others haven't noticed yet, or maybe it's just my phone?

Recently bought a Droid X (first android phone), but i'm a fast learner when it come to tech. bought PSX4DROID and downloaded disk 1-3 of ff7 (I do own the game). already added a bio's bin file also. here are my two questions
1. when I make new folders/transfer files over onto my phone's 16gb SD card, they show up, but as soon as I disconnect it from the computer they disappear. they still show up when I look for them from the phone, but if I plug the phone back in, my SD card is empty, even though the space is still being used. any ideas?
2. PSX4DROID doesn't work when i load up the final fantasy 7 rom. i know this game works because it is all over YouTube. all it shows is a permanent black screen. should i try a new psx bios file? different rom?
I think that maybe the two problems are related to each other, but i have no idea. The card is not a fake, It is the included card that comes with every Droid X. also I have read up on other threads.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but occasionally when I swipe up from my home screen (when notifications are not being displayed) my status bar will disappear, and the only way I can get it back is by going into ADW settings and checking "hide statusbar" and then unchecking it right away. I don't have the hide enabled...it's just disappearing. Seems like a glitch.

Its not really a problem then an annoyance..does anyone know how I can make it so that when I receive a txt or an email and I open it in another way then the notification bar that my droid notification led will stop blink and the notifications will disappear from the disappearing notification bar? I'm just try to stop the fact that I have to go into LPP settings, make my bar re-appear, erase notifications, then make it so the bar disappears again.

So I rooted my Droid and Superuser Permissions appeared. I looked up how to unroot and it just said to manually update to 2.0.1 (I was obviously up to 2.0.1 already) and I did, and I was hoping Superuser Permissions would disappear, but it didn't.

I just recently downloaded and installed Chevy's Simply Stunning (4.2) ROM, and I'm finding that some of my shortcuts (places in folders) are disappearing upon powering off my phone.
I have two folders ("Text" and "Call") on my home screen that simply contain direct call and direct message shortcuts to some of my contacts. Ever since updating to Simply Stunning 4.2, I've had issues. I'm not entirely sure that's what caused it... anyone had this problem before?

When Froyo came in, I noticed the Exchange calendar became `combined' with the Google calendar. This was a bit alarming, as I don't use the Google calendar and the Exchange account completely disappeared.
I re-setup the Exchange account and spent some time coaxing it to sync the calendar.
Every few days I get a notice that the email service requires a FC and the Exchange account disappears. Start again from Go.
I have Sync turned off, as well as auto app sync. I do not pull mail unless I need it. Calendar and Contacts are set to sync when I turn on Sync. Not sure if this impacts anything but this only started after Froyo. Getting tired of replacing the Exchange acct.

The weather has disappeared right where the digital clock is on the home screen. It says the current town, but no weather data appears. Has anyone had this problem?

Since the 2.1 update, occasionally all of the folders on my screen disappear. I try refreshing the screen, hitting the stop button to put it to sleep but the only solution seems to be powering off the phone and turning it on again. Would anyone know of a solution that would avoid powering off the phone?

So last night I went to change my battery and when the phone booted back up, a lot of programs were not installed anymore and I was getting about 3 other programs that were force closing right away when it came on.I tried to reinstall the apps, but I was still getting some force closes and general funny stuff going on.So I factory reset it and started from scratch again today. I got most of my apps reinstalled and thought it was fine. Then just a little while ago, I noticed that I couldn't browse the Internet or use the market. I rebooted and it was fine.A little while later I went to use my phone to make a call and when I unlocked it, all my home screens were blank! Reboot again and that fixed it.

Is it just me or is anybody else having problems with the weather disappearing from their home screen? It started after I upgraded to 2.1. Underneath the clock it just goes blank and i have to go into weather and refresh for it to come back. Then a little while later it will be blank again.

There are some minor scratches in the window that the camera lens uses to take pictures on the battery cover. Even if I don't get all of them (some MIGHT be too deep, its hard to tell whether my fingernail catches or not in that little area), it would still be better if I could get some of them out. Any way I can do this without harming the lens even more?The scratches are on the outside of the cover, btw, not the tiny circle opening on the inside.

I'm an experienced developer although completely new to mobile development. I am trying to write an app which periodically sends an SMS message.
I do this by with my activity instatiating an AlarmManager when a button is clicked. The AlarmManager starts a service which sends the SMS.
All is fine except that when the SMS is transmitted the activity UI is brought to focus again regardless of what is running. I do not wish this to happen. Ultimately my UI will be a configuration of how the service will behave although I have not looked into the data interface between activity and service yet.

The emails I delete from my hotmail account on my evo keep reappearing. They will either all pop back up as new unread mail later on or sometimes right after I delete them when I reload the page they start popping back up.

I rooted using unrevoked and used root explorer to delete the app in /system/app/ directory. I get a message saying the app is deleted and I see it disappeared. When I exit out from root explorer, go to list of apps, I still see the icon of the app in the list and can still open it. Then when I restart the phone and go back to /system/app/ directory, I see the app back again. Anybody knows why this is happening? The apps seem to be cached somewhere. I've read that system app cannot be deleted using the unrevoked root method, but there are other people who say it does. Using root explorer seems to delete the app, but reappears again. I'm really clueless on this one.
