So, guys. It's been almost a year since I got my white Xperia S. With all this time, it is normal to get dirty.
The back part, without cover, I use a damp cotton swab, to clean the dirt on the sides and the camera. For the back cover, a slightly damp cloth yo clean it. But the worst part is on the logos on the phone. Xperia, HDMI and USB. They have some dirt on it. It is brownish.
What you use to clean your phone, specially the logo?

What logo you are talking about bro? The Sony Logo or the imprinted text of Xperia, HDMI and USB in the device body?

^ the imprinted logos, of course.
anyways, try taking a toothpick and just "pick" the dirt in the letters, then wipe off with a wet tower or something. also u could use soap, but be very careful. OR you could just put some antibacterial soap on a toothpick and pick it again lol.
Or you could use alcohol wipes or use viniger, or even citric juice(lemons), anything with low pH will work just as good.
BTW don't go too low or it will just corrode your device

Imprinted ones. Ok I see. I use a Light Glass/Mirror Cleaner and cotton bud to clear those. Works fine.
Just put it in the dishwasher? ;D
Thanks. I meant a way to reach the imprinted logos. As they are imprinted, it's harder to reach and such...

Just got off work and took my phone out of my pocket and
Chewing gum is mushed all over the screen.
I've managed to get the big wobs off but sill lots on there.
I don't want to wet the screen much...helpz
Glass/multipurpose cleaner should cut away at it, provided nothing goes thru your speaker or any crevices on the side of ur phone your screen shouldn't be damaged by wetness or anything. If that were the case I woulda been plenty screwed when I used to wash dishes at a restaurant.
And that's why I never have ANYTHING in the same pocket as my phone.
You can try rubbing alcohol on a q-tip WITH THE PHONE OFF AND THE BATTERY PULLED.
I would try this
Purchase a multipurpose stain remover that dissolves glues and adhesives from your local home-improvement center or hardware store. Popular brands such as Un-Du, Goo Gone and Goof Off are solvents that safely eliminate glue from clothing and fabrics, among other surfaces.
2
Follow directions on how to apply the solution by referring to the product label. If you are instructed to spray or pour it onto a cloth, use a material that is gentle enough for your LCD screen, such as terry cotton or microfiber. Applying the solution with a cleaning cloth is recommended over spraying the screen directly and is less likely to make a mess.
3
Dab the glue residue with a cloth until the solvent begins to soften it. Wipe the area using moderate pressure and notice the glue loosen from the screen with ease.
4
Do not hesitate to allow the solvent to dissolve the residue longer if any stubborn film persists. The petroleum- or limonene-based solutions safely remove residue without harming the surface.
I would think because of the gorilla glass's chemical resistance the goo gone solution would work to dissolve the gum from any area's, yet maintain the integrity of the glass or surrounding area....
Solve
Go to Wal-Mart and but something called Goo-Be-Gone it is in a clear bottle and it is orange. Now just spray it on a rag and wipe, it will remove like butter.
nail polish remover
PEANUT BUTTER..
...and no, I'm not joking.
I heard of sticking it in the freezer til the gum is hard enough to pick off...but dont know if it would affect the internals. Works on jeans and tshirts though!

Dude for your phones safety please do not try rubbing alcohol nor nail polish... Smh lol

Alcohol would be Ok, Though I would try glass cleaner on a cloth first...
Nail polish remover is a huge NO! That will also slightly eat the surface of the screen resulting most likely in swirl marks, alcohol will not do this.

Seriously, put a tiny bit of tooth paste on a wash cloth and rub it into screen. Used this in my vibrant and thus phone to remove surface scratches multiple times

That can scratch the screen even worse depending on the type of tooth paste.

Hi,
For all those use HTC One X - White, how do u clean your device especially the back part?
Can one ordinarily use some cotton buds and your normal alcohol? If not, what are the recommended cleaning solutions we can use?
Thanks!
Mine doesn't get dirty as it has a case but if it does I just lick my finger and wipe it off...
a bit water to wet a soft cloth would do
hahaha! same here! just wanted to know what are 'safe' solutions to use or not to use..

i'm using a normal eraser and it works like with pencil! simply and fast!
I just wipe it with a moisturized cloth...and it's clean as new!
I take a wizz in a small glass and use that the amonia rocks for cleaning white plastic.
Use a case so I don't have to worry about cleaning the back but any exposed part of the body can be clean very easily by wipe it with my shirt,clean as new
I spilled spicy honey, soy & garlic marinade on mine and didn't realise til after I finished cooking and it wiped right off with a lightly moistened tissue lol
Have an awesome cover on so never need to clean
i usually just am able to wipe the back cover, recently i had some blue ink on it from a leaking pen.
it didnt wipe off....after a week though it eventually seemed to fade off (I still tried to wipe daily just with my finger)
Baby wipe or my leg usually lol!
I lick mine like a little kitten, on a regular basis.
Try Brasso Gadget Cleaner. Been using since my DHD and its wonderful stuff. Works well on the white

I work on the underground in London. I use the phone completely without a case and it gets extremely dirty. I use a multi surface kitchen spray. First applied to a soft kitchen tissue then onto the phone. C comes out like new every time.
Getting a case though as I dropped it in the changing rooms and scuffed the corners. But sorted that it with some emery paper and cutting compound.

What works for me is Glasses/Screen Wipes, comes up like new!
thanks for all the suggestions! guess the simpler way of cleaning it, the better!
Why not make it dirtier instead? Would stand out from all the clean ones

It shouldn't need cleaning! I haven't cleaned mine once! Its only in my pocket or on a clean surface? But I guess fairy liquid or similar will clean it ok.
I tooke out my white one x from the case to clean it with a new glasses cloth cleaner, it was like new not a single mark on it. I cleaned it just be sure and now the hole mobile is two colured white and dirty white, it looks like the color has droped.
From a new looking one x to this.
Hey guys!
I'm wondering if there is a safe cleaning material to clean the white HOX, I mean the back side to return it to original pure white...maybe windex..Jeff..clorex..etc
Ok, I provides my method but I never recommeding you to do the same with me..
This is how I cleaned it: rinse my hands with water, pour out a bit, hold my HOX, mop around with hands, wipe it off. (while water is most effective medium to clean thing, please make sure the quantity of the water will are not enough to spills in microUSB and ear jack holes)

Ive used windex on mine before, put a little bit on the screen too, makes it all lovely again

I wouldn't use windex, if you must, then make sure its at least ammonia free. I'm not quite sure about the One X, but some phones have very thin layers of anti-glare/anti-fingerprint coatings applied on the screen, use of strong window cleaners can damage those layers.
I mostly use a wet micro fiber cloth and that does the job well, rarely even use soap. I suggest you start with just water and if it doesn't work, try with soap and finally move into special purpose cleaners if you must.
Rubbing alcohol will work. Wet a microfiber cloth and squeeze out excess fluid, then wipe down the device.
Fussy with your phones..........I wonder if you guys are just as fussy with your cars/houses??? :laugh:
I tried Windex ...it did the job thanks a lot guys
Haha my house is a tip. My phone is perfect!!

Somehow my younger nephew got hold of my phone and thought it would be funny to use a dirty rubber on the back of it. Luckily I caught him in the act just in time before he done more damage to it and now my phone has a medium sized patch thats quite dark and noticible. While its not a major problem its kinda spoilt the beautiful finish of the back of HOX. I tried using a damp cloth and scrubbing real hard to get rid of it but it didnt make the slightest difference. Is there any way I can get rid of it and bring it back to the normal look or am I stuck with this? Attached a photo to give you a better idea of what it looks like, it actually doesnt look that bad in the picture but trust me its alot worse.
Try a bit of CIF mate, I heard that works.
Be careful!
Try using a clean rubber ??

What is dirty rubber? Was it something like one of those hard abrasive ink erasers? If it was one of those then most probably that area is worn off. Probably nothing much you can do except change the entire case, or you could try to rub the rest of the surface with the same thing to give it a uniform look . I did something similar with one of my old Siemens phones, it had a painted back which was fading away due to normal wear, so I took a very soft sandpaper and sanded away all the paint to give it a nice uniform matte black finish. It turned out pretty good considering how it looked before .

Lens cleaner is generally just very pure Isopropyl alcohol
Nevermind guys i just decided to buy a case and use that lol.
Try hair spray. It's the best solvent...
Just a bit on a rag and wipe the back before it's getting dry.
recommended ways and materials to use to clean the device??
.I didn't see anything in the manual.
Thanks
I always steam it up with my breath and wipe it down with a micro fiber cloth.

I normally use one of those liquid for lcd/tv and spray on the micro fiber cloth then clean the phone or tablet, maybe once a week or 2. But normally just wipe it with micro fiber cloth.
If my screens ever gets grimy, I use an alcohol wipe. Then when it's still wet, I go over it with a soft cotton towel/shirt etc.

dont have a note 2 yet but have a GS3 and i assume both are pretty much the same like build... people that have the gray/tat color do you guys notice little dust/lints/small dirt/ crumbs on the sides of the screen?
my blue GS3 seems to have that on the sides i can see it and i use a case..i get a small paper i cut out and slide it on the side of the screen to pick out the dirt/lint ect... pretty sure you cant notice it on white version
There are many kind of glass cleanser available in the maeket, I have one and use it for my LCD, laptop and mobile. Just apply the liquid and use the accessories that are already in the pasking and follow the instructions.

Just to be clear, NEVER apply the liquid directly to the device. Only apply(spray) the liquid to the cloth, then use the cloth to wipe the device.

Classic!
lol just found something from Yahoo ANSWERS
Rubbing alcohol is the best to use on most of your phone (buttons, speaker area, etc) for getting rid of germs and oils, however on some older models that have the plastic encasement over the display you will want to use glass cleaner on that particular part or else the plastic covering may turn opaque.
I know you didn't specifically ask for this, but you may also want to occassionally clean the bottom where you connect the charger. For this, you can dip a soft bristled toothbrush in a bit of rubbing alcohol (do not immerse it) and gently brush the connection area to free up any goo or small particles that are wedged or blocking your connectors.
Another note: Never use any type of liquid behind the battery. Most phone manufacturers have a dot or line on the back behind the battery that - if gotten even remotely wet or damp - will leave a tell-tale mark. It won't hurt your phone, but if you should have an issue while it is under warranty they will assume it is water damage and won't even bother taking it apart to see otherwise.

Indeed! This is what is written there in instructions and precautionary measurements.
