Just take off the battery cover and try, the photo will be much better.
I ended removing the transparent glass from the battery cover.
The pictures still need some color correction, but they are much sharper and have less blurry light.
you mean to tell me, after all the threads regarding this topic you decided to post another. Not only did you post another, you made it seem like no body has ever thought of this idea, holy shi* batman what is next. maybe you could start a new thread about a CID Unlocker or even better how to flash a rom but dont tell many people because we wouldnt want many people to know abou it. We just love redundant threads.
I nominate retard of the day award

would love a link to the thread reminding people that refurbished phones might come with a protective plastic covering that may cause blurry pictures... I did search. and I'm not talking about removing the hard plastic that's on the back, I'm talking about a protective thin film that can easily be removed.. and you nominate retard of the day award? wtf? nice grasp of the English language... irony much?
Can we have two nominations?

I have to agree. This was good information that I have not seen before.
People need to read before they start ripping into the OP.

How did you remove the clear plastic? I checked it out but I don't want to mess up the rest of the backing.
Had one of these made for my HD2, its very nice. They are now available for the Streak! Here is an example.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E2-Custom-Mad..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item563db6019b
I am considering that case and also thinking about using the shield, but we shouldn't need anything for the screen? It's Gorilla Glass! Anyone try pounding on it with their pen? HAHA .. Besides 5" screen that was one of their main selling points?
I had a leather case for my iphone and once I decided I was keeping it, not going to eBay it, I sometimes let it just drop naked into my purse in one of the zipper compartments. With the Streak it should be able to take a beating, but it is too new to keep out of a case .. I feel obligated to wrap it in something ... Mink maybe !!
Gorilla glass isnt unscratchable, its just harder to scratch. A rough edged metal thing will scratch it if pressure is applied to it. Its toughened though so shouldn't shatter.
I wont be using a screen protector, but i will get a case. Rumour has it that the iPhone 4 has a form of Gorilla glass on the front (of course not real gorilla glass apple wont pay for it, they steal the patent instead), and regular glass on the back. The back certainly breaks first when dropped.

Are you going to get the case from the link in the first post? The Streak is going to be a bit difficult to pocket with that case on don't you think? Unless it goes in a brief case or suit, two things which are rarely on me. Anyway, if you get the case could you please do a write up on it? I haven't gotten my Streak yet but am going to baby the thing as long as I can. I really do not want a scratch.

Wow, what a tool of a company. I heard they are currently sueing HTC on numerous so called 'stolen patenet' like finger swipe to unlock ect.
.
I dont know exactly what case ill get yet, im wait for a few more to appear.
Yes Apple are Suing HTC, and being sued back, but when Apple sues its usually on lame concepts rather than material objects. Apple are being sued now by Nokia, Kodak, HTC, Élan microcomputer systems, Cisco.. the list goes on..

Yes, thats purely a defensive action. Apple are the aggressors, but they are going down..
Hello,
Well , I have a big problem with my SGS at the moment , the problem is that my screen is defect. Well , the screen still works as it should(touch , thank god) but I has alot of big scratches.
Believe it or not , but I dropped my sgs like 3 times before on 1 meter height on hard underground , It survived without scratches , btw I dont know if it did land on the screen so maybe thats the reason why my screen survived before. But today i was sitting and I had the phone in my pocket and when I wanted to stand up it dropped out of my pocket on the ground , from 0,5 meters height on a soft floor(carpet) but I discovered those big scratches and I was shocked
/Now the important part , is there any way to repair this???
By putting new glass on the screen or something? Maybe there is someone who experienced the same and knows how and where it got repaired?
Thanks in advance,
Picture of the state of my screen in attachments , sorry for the vga webcam quality.
Looks like the glass got shattered.
There would be no way to fix a Crack or a Scratch. You will have to replace the Digitizer and Display.
Dude, that's why you should use screen protector on it.

Thanks for your help.
Sorry man. Some people just wouldn't use screen protector, but 1-5€ could have saved you from this.

'Defect' LOL. My car was 'defective' after I wrapped it around a telephone pole.
Would a screen protector prevent a shatter like that? Perhaps to a limited extent but I though they were mainly for scratches.
I do my SGS bareback. No significant scratches yet, I think last time I cleaned the screen up and looked really close I could see one tiny line.
I've dropped once onto pavement (dented the bezel) and once on a wood floor (flew out of my hand as I whipped it out and bounced across the room lol).

Sorry sir , if your screen(or glass whatever)is shattered. In fact , its also defect. 1. a lack of something necessary for completeness or perfection; shortcoming; deficiency
But who cares?
Looks like these general subboard is full of trolls , I'm asking for advice where and how to repair your screen when its in a state like this? All I get is people who try to act smart or whatever you wanna call it.
Just dont post if you cant make sense

Thanks , never thought of looking @ assecories bord xD
You could try and replace it yourself which is probably cheaper or you can ring samsung and tell them what happened and have them replace it/send a new phone for you. Obviously it would cost you.
@dehem333
Very sad to hear that loss...
I have no idea how to fix it. But I pray that it gets fixed someway.
Wish u best of luck!

Well just replacing the glass is not gonna work because the touch digitizer and the glass are like one. So you,ll have to buy it completely new. Also its not easy to replace it. Its glued together. Youll need to be handy.
If your buying off ebay make sure its an amoled screen. Alot of lcds on ebay.

Hey guys! So i completely understand how to completely disassemble this phone due to how easy it is (it only takes ten minutes!). But i was wondering do you guys think it would be worth being out of a phone for like a day (while paint drys, etc.) if i painted the whole thing and got rid of some scratches? Im seriously contemplating doing it but i just wanted your guys opinions and also any ideas on what colors i should use . Thanks!
that could be very bad for one no more warranty and two the paint could flake off and damage the hardware inside i would just skin it if u want to change the color that bad.
Thanks.
Thanks mate. My warranty is actually long gone and i will be getting a new phone shortly. The reason i assumed this would work because i saw a guy do it on the evo in the portal. It was actually a top post for the day. Id think about skinning it but for some reason the difficulty of the project is intriguing me. But i will def take what you said into consideration. Thanks
thats cool just please post pics if u do it im interested to see how that would turn out.
Okay
I'd be glad to post pics but it probobaly wont be untill this weekend because i use my phone too much during the week. I was thinking a white and metallic silver look. What do ya think?
i always liked the flat black look
The htc back housing will take dye better than paint. There was some pretty easy steps way back when. Check out ppcgeeks touch diamond forums, or google it.

Hey thanks man.
Issue
Do you guys any idea how i could paint the hardware buttons to hide all the scratches mine had from when i "let" my sister "play with it. Do you thing if i just buffered it all out with a fine sandpaper or something and then paint around them that would work. Because i figured if i was going to make the whole phoen beautiful then i may as well fix this falw too. If you do not think that part is possible then i guess ill just buy new housing for like 5 bucks. But just lmk. Thanks
I like the chips and scratches on my phone -- it reminds me of Boba Fet's helmet.

That is clever
Anyone have one of these on their shift? I had one on my TP2 but never really thought about getting one until now for the shift. I'm just looking for a review of a good brand and links. Thanks
Hahaha . I had one on my TP2 also. Don't have one on the Shift. But one thing I remember from the TP2 experience is, if you buy one do not get it mirrored. Purchase on of the ones that looks normal, but only if your looking at it straight on. The mirror one can be a PITA in the daylight, or brightly lit room.
I think I had a mirror one too, but I didn't like it. I found one on eBay pretty cheap, we will see how it goes. The privacy screen protector was awesome, but very thick. I'm guessing this will probably complicate the touch screen but again, waiting to see. Thanks for the reply though
The one I currently use, I bought from Skinomi. It has a slight tint to it, and is a good thickness, doesn't compromise the Touch response. But yet it offers enough protection.
got it in the mail today, and it's ok not great. It is more of a tinted screen protector than privacy. I would imagine if you were looking at some 18+ material.. the person next to you will notice lol.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17066520479...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648#ht_2531wt_905
Well no more 18+ material in public for you
haha I wouldn't do that... from my phone. I now remember why I liked not having this privacy one, it's dark as s**t especially out in the sunlight. oh well
