Tilt: Removing AT&T Logo - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Has anyone try to remove the ugly AY&T Logo from Tilt? I want to see if it can just be scraped off without leaving a mark. I am not brave enough to try yet. Thought I would give it a try here.
Thanks.

Sugar cubes. Works wonders. I've used them on an Apache.

Re: Removing AT&T Logo
I've seen cheap skin packages for $3-$5 US for 8925 on E-bay that will cover the AT&T logo.

I too am wondering about this. The thought I had was if the sugar would damage the dark patina on the metal.
anyone do this yet?
as ay&t is not sending me checks to rep there logo I would like it off my phone lol

I'm also interested in this. Let me know if you guys get it off.

Can you explain more?
TIA

Supposedly you can remove the logo by moving a sugar cube back and forth across it. The sugar is supposed to be hard enough to remove it but soft enough to not scratch the metal.

We are talking about the logo that is physically on the top of the Tilt.

I never tried this, so I don't know if it works...
but shouldn't nail polish remover do the job? if not similar chemical products strong enough to wipe the paint but not strong enough to corrode the metal.

Should have known by reference to sugar cube.​

Once again a search would have brought a how to for removing the logo. Oh and with photos.
Everyone likes pictures!

What did you think they were talking about sugar cubes for?

I tried alcohol and lacquer thinner just now...didn't cut it or damage anything.

yea this is the logo that is printed on the top of the device. I see the other write up BUT has anyone ACTUALLY done this?
I am concerned about scratching the dark patina over the metal.
...so how do I get this advertising of my otherwise good lookin' phone!
THANKS

Just buy a new front faceplate. They're cheap enough and you can be sure this one will look good without ruining your current one.
This site has them for $13:

Remove AT&T emblem

Anyone have any sugggestions on how to remove the at&t emblem from the top right corner without marring the finish?
sugar cube or grains. use search.
DO NOT USE SUGAR, you WILL mar the finish.
Use "Goo-Off" or Nail Polish remover. DO NOT LET IT SIT on the surface. Apply a small amount to a Q-tip and rub in the direction of the grain. (top to bottom on a tilt) So it gently and do NOT over soak the Q-Tip. Go over several times lightly. You want to have several light layered rubs instead of a few heavy ones.
That should do it...

Wrong. This will NOT even phase the att logo. As far as I know, there is no way to remove it without ruining the finish under it. My first tilt (i was returning it anyway for an exchange) I even took an exacto knife to the logo and removed part of one letter to find its kinda etched into the finish under it. Until I see a picture of someones that sucessfully removed it (with no other visible damage under it) in a post here, I wont believe its possible to do.
Yep, I tried all kinds of sugar cubes (cane sugar, crystal sugar, rock sugar) and also nail polish, 100% acetone professional studio strength -- didn't do anything.
Anybody have any bright ideas?
I used thermite to remove the logo and it works great.
Just a side note if you leave it on to long it will eat clear through your phone
This freaking logo is ment to stay for life

..smaht girl...you'll find that info by searching. I think what you want it the HTC Today Screen in Kaiser threads
On that other logo..anyone care to share a photo with the silkscreened logo removed??? No damage?? If you edit it your a loooooser!
My guess...bring it to an auto body shop let them tell ya before you bugger up you phone...or by a Kaiser like I did
ciao!
I dunno if we mean the same thermite, but the thermite I know becomes very hot if you ignite it! Once it's lit it can evaporate liquid nitrogen (brainiacs)Though you'll need quite some firepower to light it...
Thermite will burn through an engine block. Obviously he's being flipant.

[Finaly got one!] Searching for a "HTC PRO.THREE" back cover!

Anyone who has this back cover willing to sell it? Or trade it with my retail back cover??

I know. But some people are allowed to keep the test units.
And mayb one of them wants to sell or change.
^ahan ok
xmoo i can gladly trade it but why do u want it that desperately?...The final one is muuuuch better. Besides, its not worth it and as it has been already said, its just a back metal cover of the beta units sent along to us as beta testers.

gona got UK version HD2 next week~~cheers
B3ler3fonte plz contact me!
Still searching for one!
Maybe we could ask HTC for making a limited spare part edition. I'd like to have that battery cover, too!
indeed this demo plate looks better than the stock one... also has painted "htc innovation" on the side
but i doubt it anyone is willing to exchange it for a stock one

Sorry, possibly i wasnt clear, the stand is purely the white bulbous part on the back, the beauty of it is you can use a credit card, hotel key card, id card, Driving Licence.
im just hoping it fits in my case ok, if not it will be stuck on the back of my defender case.

Hmmm, It's very retro plastic looking. I wouldn't want that stuck to the back of my HD2, it could very well take the dark coating of the metal backplate off when removing to leave the metal exposed.
I think I'll stick to my GoGoStand.

Bubbles under the touchscreen

Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.

Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.
I have the same problem, I am do not have official support from LG in my country
Someone has a tutorial in order to clean/remove this bubbles?
I have this too and i think that help only dissasemble to clean this bubbles

Had these bubbles under my screen too. Got mine repaired, at a lg approved shop here in norway. My bootloader was already unlocked before i sent it in. It came back pre-rooted, and they changed the lcd if anyone wonders

Liquid Damage Indicator Inside 4X?

Hey, guys,
My P880 hasn't been submerged, splashed, soaked or wet at all and I'd like a proof of that, but I dont know where a liquid damage indicator might be located. I've watched three disassembly videos and no-one mentioned it. Anyone knows?
I don't think there's such a thing located inside our phone.Never seen anyone talking about it.People just directly drop their phone into bag of rice and pray, no one bothered to look for such thing.
I'm not asking for a repair advice, I need to know this for another purpose.
Another LG phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6YY79MrEX0
Look for something similar in the 4X?

That's the same one, just from the other side of the board cover. So it is that white circle next to camflash. Thank you, @abhi08638, mystery solved. Did you, by any chance, find another one somewhere inside the phone?

I looked, but no, I didn't see any other.
The white dot on the right side of camera flash is indeed the Liquid Damage Indicator of the phone. It turns red when it comes in contact with water. I know this because I accidentally dropped my phone into a bath of bleach water.
BE WARNED!!
A single drop of water going inside the LG Optimus 4x HD will fully disable and damage the phone. So don't bring it out in rainy conditions or in the shower.
