Anyone else have dust getting under their screen?

I noticed today using my phone in direct sunlight that there's quite a few particles of dust that have managed to work their way under my screen in the bottom right corner... Is this a problem for anyone else?

No idea how they got under there, it's not like it's constantly subjected to high amounts of dust or getting blown in somehow.
 
Same for me....it has to do with the audio Jack and speaker with the LED because there is space in there that dust gets through I think

For now there you're pretty much stuck with taking your screen off and then removing it (which might I add, is very difficult), an air duster won't help but you can try. To prevent more dust you can get a case, it really does prove as a worthy solution to this "problem".
 
Well, I got my phone from Amazon... They told me to order a new one with overnight (and they'd refund the overnight shipping cost), and they've put in for a full refund for my current one and are having me send it back once I get the new one.

I hope this problem is limited to this phone in particular.. it seems to be only coming through one spot near the "Search" button on the bottom right. If not (and the new phone as the same issue), I'll try to return it for a full refund and pursue a different phone option.

If there's a couple hundred tiny specs of dust in there after 3 weeks, it's only going to get worse as time goes on. I highly doubt removing the screen manually is going to do anything besides make it even worse.
 
yea imma guess its just a problem in how the phone was made, a port or speaker to close to the glass, i have the samething, dont really bother me, except for me its the back camera glass, which i dont use often, and when i do i thankfully cant see the dust, but if i flip my phone and look right at the glass on the flash/camera area there is so much dust stuck to the underside lol, also the mini-hdmi is a super lint collector lol im about to buy a mini hdmi cable just to plug it in and pull all the dirt and lint out lol

even my main speaker collects alot of dirty and lint inside the holes somehow

for me, not really an issue, i just try and keep it as clean as possible so it doesnt get to crazy
 
I'd say I have about 25 small dust particles under my screen. Not sure if its under the screen protector or the screen. Near the bottom right by the seach buttom. Its not noticable for me unless my phone is in sun at the right angle.
 
Having just found out about that factory-installed screen protector (not the cling plastic with tab that you remove when you take the phone out of the box, the next layer), I found myself wondering if the dust was getting under that screen protector rather than the actual glass screen.
