[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
I'm sorry, but I will disagree with you. Read the second to last paragraph here: http://gizmodo.com/5302097/giz-bill-nye-explains-the-iphone-3gss-oleophobic-screen

With an oleophobic coating, the screen is NOT SUPPOSED to look like the N1, G2, etc. Those phones don't have this coating. Where you are correct is that my phone DOES look like those phones, and that's where the problem is. I really hate to keep referring to this, but walk into an Apple Store and look at the iPhone 4's. Even after being on display for so long and touched by so many people (bring hand sanitizer), the smudges are absolutely minimal.

The idea of the coating is to be able to take your hand or palm, or cloth, and with one or two wipes clear the screen. If results are anything but this, that screen is not coated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidZ28:
The screen is not oil-proof, it will look just like all those other phones. The difference is how much easier to clean it is. Having sold eye-wear with and without oleophobic coating, I can tell you the difference is obvious when you clean it. I can clean this with a dry microfiber cloth. My Nexus One almost always needed a damp rag.

Also, do you really think that those iPhones are not cleaned several times a day? What relevance does their cleanliness have?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
Look at the picture in that link you posted of the 3gs and the 3g next to each other, they look the same regardless of oleophobic coating. The grease is still going to be there until you wipe the screen off, it isn't some magic grease repellent. The coating makes it easier to wipe off and less noticeable in direct view, if you look at the screen from an oblique angle you're going to see smudges.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Sorry, yes this is what I meant to say. I'm not looking for the oil to drip off of it, but I have to put some elbow grease into cleaning it. Not that I mind, every other phone is like that. But I feel that if a company is advertising this is a feature, it should work. My NS cleans off exactly the same way the N1 does. With pain :-).

As a former employee of Apple, I can tell you they don't walk around cleaning those phones every few hours. The store where I worked is the busiest out of all retail, and you couldn't pry customers away from touching them. But one fell swipe of the sleeve wiped it off. Cleanliness relevance I was referring to was germs ;-)

They do look the same, except for 3GS is lighter and doesn't look like skin lotion as the 3G does. I noticed the photos but as they can be deceiving (without hands-on), I didn't mention them.

I'm going to exchange it within an hour and I'll see if I can post a follow-up to my OP. All I can say is that within the first 3 or 4 days, I was never able to get my phone into that sort of smudgy condition. I compare it to a car that you've had for a while. You can hear it when there is a different sound that has never prevailed before.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayhaan:
so the oleophobic covering smudges can be removed/cleaned with a microfiber cloth?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Yep, I wouldn't recommend any other abrasive form of wiping material.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Alright...so I went ahead and exchanged my phone. What a difference! I can stamp my fingerprint on the screen, then wipe it off with my palm. Gone. THAT is what oleophobic means to me :-D.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 651stp:
lets see if you start ranting about this again in another few weeks :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Of course he will. It doesn't make you coffee. That's something to rant about.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
It's true. Why wait though? I'll go hit that Create New Thread button right now ;-). Of course I'll do the obligatory "Nexus S coffee" search first.

There's nothing wrong with getting what's promised out of something that costs just about $600 after all is said and done.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I could just do that right now, just to make a point. But the risk of being banned is a little to high for me.

True, but they didn't promise a notification-LED, microSD-slot or dual-core. Those were all rumors. It weren't even rumors actually, people just KNEW the almighty Nexus S would have everything to please their lives.

Of course they didn't know about the Nexespresso back then...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Well sure, people who are complaining about features that aren't on the phone are buying the wrong phone.

Lol @ Nexespresso :-P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
That doesn't look worn off. It looks like fingerprints smeared on the screen. The anti-fingerprint coating isn't going to eliminate fingerprints, but mitigate them. I use a single shot of windex on a folded paper towel on my Nexus S and the screen is perfectly fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Agreed. The dude has greasy ass fingers.

On my Nexus S. After several days of use, it will be covered with fingerprints.

I just now grabbed my (quality) microfiber cloth I use for my glasses, wiped my Nexus S so it looks brand new. Then I use my finger and swipe it across the screen and no fingerprints.

I do notice that if I go up/down I see fingerprints, if I got diagonals, no fingerprints show.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I made the thread on another forum, with a lot of succes:)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windmill_81:
I have the same issue but I haven't any scratches, the oleophobic coating on my Nexus S screen seems to have worn off in some parts.

I've always been careful with the device and have treated it with extreme care so there aren't any external reasons for this to be happening.

If I clean the screen with a soft cloth some spots will retain the oil that have moved from the coated regions that do what promised and rinse out without leaving any trace.

If I on purpose insist in cleaning those small spots finally the screen appears immaculate but as I start touching the screen in normal use they appear again.

This is very annoying since this is a 570$ device just a week old, I'm going to send it in for an exchange.. :mad:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I wanted to bump this thread to see how other people's screens are holding up. I had a single mark (looked like a tear drop) when I got my phone, but that was it. Over the last month, new marks have started to form on my screen. Basically, I now have 3 distinct spots where the coating is rubbing off. At this rate, I can only imagine what my phone will look like after another few months of use. Anyone else notice more spots forming?

BTW, I'm extremely careful with my phone. I don't have a single scratch on it - just this annoying coating problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrroey:
I had three small streaks on the screen where the coating was wearing off. No matter what I did I couldnt get rid of them.

replaced mine with black tie protection. new one has been fine so far
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
When I get back to my computer I'm going to thank you for digging up this thread. Thank you.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagech:
I have 2 spots on my screen
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I also have the black tie protection plan, but I don't want to deal with the whole exchange process only to have the coating on the new phone wear off as well.

Yup, those are the exact type of spots I also have on mine. What's most disconcerting is that I only had one small spot for the first month of owning the phone, but two more spots have cropped up over the last month - one of which is identical to the spot in the top right of your phone. I'm sure this will just keep getting worse and worse.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrroey:
If I were you I'd just get best buy to exchange it if it bothers you that much. Like others have said the nexus s doesn't actually.get repaired, just "rapid exchanged" meaning you send it off and you litterally get a new one shipped back within two days. An added bonus is you get to keep your battery and back cover and they send you a phone that's completely shrink wrapped in original packaging.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Get a screen protector :)

Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Google Nexus S!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerazha:
I'm another victim... an horizontal strip on the top-left part of the screen, really annoying under the sun because it is lighter than the normal screen, also it is visible when there are fingerprints... do you think that using a screen protector could alleviate the problem?

Very very disappointed...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolick:
Thinking about screen-protector though got pretty clear screen at the moment.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BullHorn7:
Damn, problems like that should be advertised with the device. If I knew what I know now, I would've definitely not got this phone.
[G Tablet General] Longsh0t:
Not sure what's going on but I plugged in my charger and it just won't charge. The red light doesn't light up and none of the charging indicators I have show that it's charging. The plug seems a little looser than I remember but I'm currently sitting at 6% and dropping :(

I'm just glad I'm still in my 30 day period with Sears. Going to see if my local stores have any to swap out.
[G Tablet General] Bit Banger:
Hi, this may sound like a dumb reply but are you sure the charger itself is working? Mine has a led light to indicate it is powered on. Check the charger and make sure it is working.
[G Tablet General] Longsh0t:
Yeah. Light is definitely on. Tried it in a few different outlooks just to make sure.
[G Tablet General] MikeTheSith200:
hey i have this same problem. did u get it worked out? i just passed my 30 days with Sears. Lukily my dock came, its the only way i can charge it.
[G Tablet General] sert89:
i had the same problem. my gtab went out of battery and i wanted to charge it but never saw the red light. I checked the charger if it was working but it was ok got the green led indicator when plugged in. Then I realized the problem :) the pin that is conducting the power from charger to mainboard was not in its place. Its soldering was torn apart. I soldered and then it was good to go.

hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] slysecretspy:
Are you using a stock ROM? I know this sounds crazy but I had the same issue and after I nvflashed back stock it started to work again.
[G Tablet General] sanvara:
How does the soldering on the pin get torn apart? There's another thread about the headphone jack been broken off the MB. Are these G-tablets really delicate?

Hm you said official rom so I guess not Debranded but could be branded or from a diff region??

Hmmm... don't do ota if your rooted is among the first rules, isn't it? You can read it everywhere. Also all rom threads state clearly whether they use a2sd. I think you just need to learn to read.

The stock firmware is extremely buggy and users were seeing all kinds of FCs with it. Your best bet if you want to stay "stock" would be to follow the instructions in this post.

Otherwise, I would really recommend switching to the latest TnT or VEGAn roms.

what would you suggest for ROM? Vegan or TNT??? what are the pro's and con's?

Thanks again...I am still new at this OS
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Install Clockwork recovery and then check out all of them. Switching roms only takes a few minutes and if you make a backup first then it's easy to go back. Each rom is slightly different and tastes vary. :)
[Nook Color General] crumbs09:
I picked up the NC and rooted (used auto-nooter 2.12.25 for 1.0.1) without issue a couple days ago. Everything has been working fine (including downloading apps from the market), but yesterday the market stopped downloading apps (it would say that it was starting the download, but never actually do anything). Fast-forward to today and the market won't even open, it immediately closes itself.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what might be the issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing that I may have to restore to stock and root the NC again, but I thought I would seek some help before that.
[Nook Color General] soldieroftheone:
Go to settings, then applications, click all, then click the market application, click force stop if its running, then click clear cache,then reboot
[Nook Color General] crumbs09:
Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, that didn't help. When I went to clear the cache, it was already empty. I still followed the steps and rebooted, but it wouldn't open.
[Nook Color General] ewong90:
Get Titanium Backup & wipe data on the market.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
When I look at the settings app on the NC I don't see where one could goto applications and do that. That is what I would find in a typical android settings app which the rooted NC doesn't have or am I looking in the wrong place?
[Nook Color General] crumbs09:
Thanks, I tried it, but no go.

I went ahead and wiped it to stock and rooted it again. So far, so good, but I do worry about what caused it to stop working in the first place.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jezza0:
OK so how weird is it that my X1 drinks its battery dry even while OFF?! I'd be happy to put it down to a dead battery, if it weren't for the fact that I have two batteries: one (>2 years old) OEM and one (~1 year old) 3rd party clone.

It's possible that both batteries are dying and not holding their charge. Thing is, I don't want to fork out on a new battery if the X1 itself is faulty.

Any thoughts before I send my X1 off to silicon heaven?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
A little power has to be drained to keep the clock running. But my phone drains a lot if its off..but it fell into water so it doenst really count as normal behavior..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBRiddick:
How much of power is drained? 1-2%? Or 50%? Also, sometime when you restart phone it shows that batt has 10-20% less power than before restart.

2 years for batt is quite a lot, and we all know that 3rd party equipment is not good as original. So maybe is batt dead.
