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

Thanks for the replies. I will y thermite or goof-off. Where can I find thermite?

Can we keep this on topic, we are straying. I am clearly talking about the device logo painted on the hardware.

Can you please elaborate on this? What ratio did you mix? How much exactly did you use? Thermite is nasty stuff.

No ****...can you elaborate on you experience with thermite? By the way I know what google is and how to use search.
We are having a discussion and it is normal for someone to expound instead of dropping oneliners quoting your favorite search engine.

..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 think it was only for testing/demo devices ..Not with the devices for sale

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.

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?

The same problem ，open the screen，similar mold,not dust，
Corroded screen,

I had the same thing on a smaller scale, but it turned out it was just a bit of dirt that formed there...Took the phone apart and cleaned the glass. Everything is fine now!

What about the warranty?

I found also topic about this problem on german LG forum, the topic have about 85 pages!!
http://www.android-hilfe.de/lg-p880-optimus-4x-hd-forum/266155-staub-unter-dem-display.html

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

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.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

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.
