It would be really helpful to see if the same type of coating is on... If someone would remove their screen protector and try the alcohol or toothpaste fix or other methods tried on that thread on small portion of your screen to see if indeed coating does rub off.

Like Chris said I can't seeing many sane people doing that. While some types of alcohol might be ok to use to clean the screen others are bad for it, and could dry it out making it prone to fog up under certain conditions (humidity). I think its ridiculous that people are apparently using an abrasive substance like toothpaste on a glass/plastic surface you are either trying to look through or shoot camera pictures through. Bottled drinking water, and a micro fiber cloth are the only things i advocate people use to clean tv screens, computer screens, tablet screens, and phone screens. (People who've washed dishes without chemical packs like Finish, or washed cars without car wax/soap have seen what crap is in tap water). Its one thing to use a dry soft toothbrush to scrub video game controller or system buttons, but quite another to ruffly scrub a glass or plastic with it especially with a substance that is meant to clean plaque and make things white (teeth). I don't recommend anyone try that unless they don't care if they ruin their phone.

I'm the forums geek at my workplace and they know I have android sites up cause I hang out in the LG G3 section so friend asked and I was just checking the latest issues... and when I was checking into blurry picture issue he was having I was definitely surprised to hear of the camera lense issue so never hurt to check on this.

I'll ask about the keys but i doubt it and again if keys in the pocket you'd think it would be seen all over the glass with keys or phone going in and out of pocket. We've been in tech industry for looong time with me back in the day of thinkpad support... even far back as compaq ipaqs lol... so we understand 3rd party issues and he wouldnt waste my time if it was... he's be straight up with it.

Can't see many takers for that. I'm confident without doing any of that, nothing is coating the screen.

I'm sorry but I think you're clutching at straws looking for a reason to blame quality control. Something third party has caused that scuffing. It's to ominous looking.

The lens issue is due to an unnecessary film on the lens that's easily scratched and then causes blurry pictures. Toothpaste is one of the fixes for it, just normal toothpaste, nothing weird with crystals or whitening strips as those could scratch. But toothpaste is actually an excellent, and safe, cleaner for many things, lens cleaning to car headlight polishing.

As for alcohol, it doesn't cause damage to glass. Does a number on plastic, but glass is fine, and it's glass, it's not a sponge retaining moisture and therefore not fogging.

Did a Google search, this is the only place I've found a similar issue to mine. My phone has that same seemingly permanent smudge, right around where I would be swiping often to type.

Did anyone ever find a fix for this? The device is different but glass is glass...

I know this is older now but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do
