    Give it 24 hours, it will perfectly bond and all bubblage will disappear. Be patient grasshoppa.

    BSE is the best, they become part of your soul just at the 8900 has.

    I had bubbles took about a week with a Zagg screen protector. If you think its water under the screen take out the battery and lay it screen side down on a towel in a warm room for a day or two, try not to move it much and hope the water seeks its way out and not into the actual guts of the phone

    That is water under the screen and do as suggested take out the battery and let it dry at least 24hrs before you put the battery back in. You could also put it in a bowl/jar of rice to absorb the moisture.

    If that is water under the screen the I suggest you take out the battery and then stick the phone submerged in rice for 2 to 3 days.

    I concur; remove the battery, then place the phone screen side down in a tray of rice, all the water should wick out within 24 hours...

    Water trapped under the BSE should be removed right away by pressing it out and absorbing it with a cloth. Big bubbles the same. Little bubbles will go away as it dries. That looks like water to me. People have gotten water under the led screen before. I hope that isn't the case here.

    I had the same thing happen to me, but to a lesser degree, when putting the BSE on my 8900. I put my phone in a Tupperware container of rice and also threw in one of those moisture absorbing packs from a prescription bottle. Fortunately the next day the problem cleared up!

    i installed my BSE yesterday and then i turn it on today then i notice a water under the screen. doesn't look as bad as the picture on the first post. and now im thinking of exchanging it for a different one because i still have the 14 days i think to return of exchange. but i dont want to do that, and i keep seeing the rice method but i have no clue what that is. do you use a steamed rice? or uncooked rice? thanks.
