According to manufacturers, displays modern smartphones protected by glass that is extremely scratch and damage resistant. Gorilla Glass- the most popular of these glasses, installed in most phones in the middle and high price segments, but even it does not always save the display from damage. In order to provide maximum protection, shockproof glass is most often used, or, less often, liquid protection, such as , as in the picture below.
If, as a rule, no problems arise when installing a film or Nano liquid, certain difficulties may arise when gluing the protective glass. This is especially true for glass stickers on phones with rounded edges, the so-called 2.5D. In this case, an unglued strip often forms along the edges of the glass, which greatly damages appearance phone. Below I will tell you how you can get rid of it.
What to do if the glass does not stick at the edges
And so, you glued the glass, and around the edges you got this mess:
IN in this case This is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X phone. Let's try to fix the jambs.
I know two methods - one artisanal, so to speak, and one industrial (I couldn’t find a more suitable word).
#1 First method
Chinese craftsmen do not sit idly by and invent all sorts of things that make our lives easier. To solve the problem, if the glass does not stick to the edges, they created special remedy. It's called Border Liquid or something like that and is a transparent gel that you use to coat the edge of the glass with a brush.
And a short video on how to use all this:
#2 Second method
If you don’t have money for a miracle remedy or you just don’t want to wait until it arrives from China, you can use the means at hand.
We will need: a napkin, a thin brush and a little vegetable oil or glycerin.
Carefully apply the glycerin to the edge of the glass, making sure it gets into the joint and fills any voids. When finished, remove excess with a napkin. The smaller the initial width of the white unglued strip, the better the final result will be.
These are the most simple ways solve the problem if the glass does not stick to the edges. Try it and post your results in the comments.
One of the most common problems is water or moisture getting under the iPhone display. Let's look at what iPhone owners should do in this case.
If your iPhone falls into water, immediately remove it from it and turn it off. You won't be able to get the battery out because you need special star screwdrivers.
If the device has to be transported, then no need to wrap it in cloth, otherwise the humidity will be much higher, which is much worse for the device.
Just place your iPhone on a horizontal surface and call a specialist at home. There is no need to be upset, since in 90% of cases nothing except the display suffers.
Using a hair dryer
The most common advice is to use a hairdryer or place the phone on a radiator. The fact is that high temperature, of course, will help evaporate the liquid, but it can add new problems. The use of a hairdryer is strictly prohibited. A stream of air can, on the contrary, “drive” water deeper into hard-to-reach places.
We use rice
There is also a tip for drying your phone using rice. Rice does absorb some of the moisture, but not much. Therefore, if the iPhone had very little contact with water and it did not get inside, then the rice will help, otherwise, some of the water will still remain inside the iPhone.
If water gets under the display, you can only get rid of it using special equipment. The problem is that the display in an iPhone is a module of a matrix, touchscreen, protective glass and backlight.
We disassemble the iPhone display layer by layer
All these parts are glued together. And the water just gets between the backlight and the matrix. Therefore, she cannot be kicked out of there. It will only help.
Water gets between these layers and therefore display defects appear.
The modern market offers every buyer a huge amount different models gadgets, smartphones and other similar devices. Despite the fact that the display is made reliably, the buyer decides to extend its service life by purchasing protective glass. This is due to the fact that over time we do not treat smartphones as carefully as at the first stage. Today we will talk about how to clean your phone before sticking the glass, how to get rid of dirt, remove stains, how to clean gasoline and rainbow stains, cut, wipe the protective glass from the inside and what products we will need for this.
What is safety glass?
Safety glass is modern look display coatings on smartphones and gadgets. It is made using a chemical method based on tempered glass.
Important! Compared to ordinary film, it is several times thicker and harder. That is why, if this coating is present on the phone, it protects the screen from fingerprints, scratches, moisture and even shocks. Despite these characteristics, the brightness and color do not change.
Due to the multi-layer coating, the thickness of the glass varies from 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm, the composition of which is as follows:
- The first layer is always silicone based. It sticks to the display.
- The next layer is the fastening layer. It is this that prevents fragments from spreading if a crack or mechanical shock occurs.
- The third layer of coating is an anti-reflective film. It maintains the visibility of drawings on the screen if it is exposed to direct sunlight or other bright light.
- The protective layer protects against shocks, falls and other mechanical damage.
- The very last layer is the oleophobic coating. It provides protection against moisture, fingerprints and makes the screen easy to clean.
With active use, the top coating, which ensures the reliability of the unit, becomes dirty. This is when the question arises of how to clean the protective glass of your phone. How to do this and what is required for this, we will consider further.

What is a protective film?

- the bottom one sticks to the screen;
- medium absorbs ultraviolet radiation and provides brightness when exposed to bright light;
- The top one is responsible for protecting the display screen.
Important! The most important thing for the film is proper gluing. To do this you need to have a little skill, since it may not always work out the first time.
All protective films that are present on the market of smartphones and gadgets are divided into three types: matte, glossy and mirror. Let's take a closer look at each type to understand whether there will be a difference in cleaning:
- The matte film absorbs glare and also hides fingerprints. The main disadvantage is that it degrades image quality. However, its cost is very low. Many craftsmen classify such film as technological and advise not to make the final choice on this product.
- Glossy protective film is the most popular among similar products. The main disadvantage of this coating is that it is easy to damage. The film strongly reflects light, scratches and other mechanical damage quickly appear on it. Fingerprints are also visible.
- Mirror film is the least popular among similar products. The peculiarity is that when the screen goes dark, it can mirror the image. However, the quality and brightness of the screen changes when this coating is applied - this is the main disadvantage.
All of the above films become dirty, and this is especially noticeable when dust gets under the coating. We will now look at how to clean the film for your phone.
