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.

..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.

Problem with camera lens

I don't know if SE can't fix it in guarantee.
My pictures quality is affect, juste see the pictures :
2 exemple before :
2 exemple after :
My pictures are fuzzy and too "grey".
I have send a e-mail toi SE, no answer.
I call in this week...
If you have the same probleme, and if the quality is affect... Thanks
So I'm sure now that's impossible to take again this type of pictures... :

Pardon me but I don't see any problem with the "after" pictures.
Half of my coating was off just after 4 days (or less, I noticed it only on the forth day), so I did not get a chance to take "before" shots.
Still, do you remember doing anything to your phone to cause it to be like it. Was it always like this?

i have your same problem, also i take much care on it!
sry i m italian..

What do you use to clean your phone? Or do you not clean it at all?

My lens is also so...But i must say i dont know how it get so...Maybe it come so in purchase...Very bad lens i must say...

Got exactly the same problem. It has annoyed me for a long time and makes my camera useless. I have been thinking of sending the phone in, but I dont like to be without my phone for several weeks, besides, how many days will it tike before the problem reappears? unless they are aware of the problem, and have a fix for it. And as everybody else, I take very good care of the phone

i noticed the same thing yesterday on my xperia,
however i believed its sort of moisture left behind the lens,after my little son pee on my x1,i rubbed it instantly,just after that i realised camera was not upto the mark,i still strongly believe its the reason,
else u notice one thing,
only the circle has those scratch like look,and not that whole hexagon shape,only the cirle
so if it scrathed why doesnt the rest..!
hopefully its just moisture and goes away with time,..

...i have the same problem too...
picture in daylight have a kind of "dreamy filter"!!!
By nigth have no big problem!

...sorry double post

lol dreamy fliter

it is actually moisture,i'm 99% sure atm,
it must have gone like that,when we cleaned lens with some fluids,
for me as i said my 4 month son pee on it
as my camera view & shots are much better now,however not as it was yet,
i gave it direct sunlight for 2-3mins 5-6 times in patches and kept rubbing it with soft cotton to give it some warmth,
i assume in 2-3 days it will be all better

To me it looks like it is some kind of filter that is getting worn down. My lense has become less resistant to direct light giving the picture an halo/dreamy look with lots of lens flares

He pee'd on your x1
Haha

U know what? i had mine for about 2 or 3 months now, and im very watchful of it. I notice my lens is starting to have those little marks too. Before it gets worse, i quickly bought a screen guard and just put it over the lens.
Problem solved

My lens instead has a sort of scratch... But I can't imagine I'm responsible for that, I took good care of my X1... Anyone has this problem too? Fortunately I can't make it out on pictures (yet).

But the those scratches are inside, not outside...for me is a construction problem of the lens! I don't like so much that false "dreamy filter" but, now i have and i have no money to change...hurra!!!!!

I've got the same kind of "foggy scratches" on the lens. The pictures seems to be out of focus and like using a soft filter. I compare the pictures taken in the beginnig and there is a big difference...

Hello, I´ve "had" the same problem. ( Im German, sorry about my english ).
As is noticed that Problem, I send my X1 back to Sony to repair. Then i got it back and the lens was okay.
Then after 2 Weeks i´ve got the same Problem again. I made Pictures from the lens, an pictures with the X1.
BUT : i have rub with the fingernail over the lens very hard. And wow : the lens is now 99% clear again. I don´t know where the dirt came from, and what it was ..... but now it´s gone....confused case.....
Here my pictures :
--------------------

Got exactly the same problem as in the first post and picture. I like to ride my bike and yeah I swet a lot during that LOL And I noticed recently that the pictures are "foggy". So I asked in our repair centre and they said it's actualy my problem. The same will hapen to your ordinary camera lens, if it comes to contact with sweat or saltwater. Also fingerprints are chemicaly agressive. If you leave it like this for a week or so, it'll gets more difficult to remove.
How did I fix this:
Basicaly, there are two ways. One is to get smooth finger file. Really smooth one. But if you don't take enough smooth one, you'll damage the lens.
So the other way is to take a tissue or old t-shirt and just clean the lens for few minutes. I tried and after 15 minutes it was gone and pictures are same as before - crappy but not foggy LOL
It's because the lens has same special layer as on digicams. Try to touch the digicam lens, leave it like that for a week or so, and you'll see
edit: it has nothing to do with scratches on your lens. I do have scratches as well, but it'll look different in the picture. The problem described here is simply what I wrote above - sweat and/or fingerprints

You cracked the LCD-panel underneath right? Destroying the outer Gorilla glass is nearly impossible, so I think you were incredibly unlucky.

Yeah..its gorilla glass right..how come it can be shattered??

it shatters, just like the ifags phone, its a pitty but thats a bad thing about a glass screen

Gorilla glass or not it is not that resistant. First time in my pocket with a key (I took it out immediately) and it got slightly scratched.

Gorilla Glass is far from indestructible, sure it's better than regular glass, but at the end of the day, it's still glass.

I am also curious. Can you please make a picture of the screen?

Hes right.
Drop less than 2 FEET, sitting down.
I think it wouldve been worst if I didnt have a screen protector.
First drop I ever had.
Everything else works perfectly fine.
Different phone; same glass I assume

was it difficult to change the screen?
I saw one Danish site selling the part - 40€
but after seeing a video of disassembling the phone I got a bit worried

sadly I broke mine also
everything still works, but playing angry birds can be a bloodbath

oh ya thats baad man.
i never gave into the whole gorilla glass screen. i think it is just another marketing hype that gives us another reason to tempt us into buying expensive smartphones.

Get a Samsung Galaxy S II instead if you can.

@libehv
Damn dude ! How did you do that ?!

I was filming and the thing just slipped out of my hands and fell on the right curved edge of the glass - probably got the whole situation on camera lol
edit:
ok got the preliminary bill for 60€ - they didn't know the actual price for the gorilla
but after seeing the video of opening the sucker, I thought better safe than sorry

Hi there,
I know this threat is old, but I recently crashed my phone glass, and I can't fin any replacement. I found a video on YouTube where you can see how to replace it yourself, but not the spare part itself.
The links you posted above take you to several spare parts online shops, but they don't have the P990 ones (I already asked).
So would you tell me a place, virtual or physical, where I can buy a replacement glass?
PD: I'm from Spain, so a technical service where they may fix the problem would be nice too

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n..._odkw=optimus+2x+digitizer&_osacat=0&_armrs=1
Doubt it's hard to fit.

You could send it to germany. Repair costs about 65 Euro (including the new screen). Look at german eBay "Optimus Speed Display Reparatur"
Optimus Speed is the german name of the 2x
If you need any help PN me
Good luck

Front camera off centerd. Should I care?

Hello.
So recently got my replacement of note 5 due to screen issue.

Doesn't look like its a major thing. You should take it to a Samsung Repair Center... They should be able to fix and give it back.

Well actually its not blocking pictures in anyway.. So debating should i take it for repair or not.

My S3 had a similar problem, but for the back camera. They fixed it in half hour. That's why I suggested taking it repair center.

Oh ya! Rear is actually easier to fix.. For front they will need to replace the screen or. The whole unit. Thats why debaiting.

That could be a problem... since its not doing anything go photos. You can just keep it then. Changing the whole unit is a big hassle

Would love to know other people thoughts as well.

my note 5 looks the same. it seems like the lens they are using causes it to look like off centered. Don't worry about it. Better that then them trying to dissemble the whole phone for one camera that has no defect.

As the camera is working perfectly fine. It will be horrundus to sent the phone for repair. Just now I have to try controlling my damm ocd.

OCD stinks! Thanks for making me check mine. It is slightly off. Nothing to worry about. My Lumia 1520 rear camera was way off and I never had an issue. It should be fine as long as there is no vignette. ?

Have you seen my front camera pic i attached ? Do you think its way off center? Should i be worried? I know it dosent harm anything just my damm ocd.

It probably won't make difference unless your phone is pointing at an extreme angle to the sun to cause adverse vignette shading. I liken it to that micro scratch on the screen you never noticed until that one day when the sun hit it just right. Now you can't take your eyes off it...LOL!

Well, if it's a $50 phone I wouldn't care but for me it's a $1000+ phone so yeah they can fix/replace it until I get what I paid for....a premium phone.

assembly problem: gap between screen and case

Hi,
I just bought a Pixel 5, but I didn't even have time to start it that I saw a trouble related to assembly: there is a gap between the screen and the body, in the top left corner of the phone. It is not as visible in the image as in the real life, but it is still noticeable, on the top side and on the left side of the device.
Someone has the same trouble? If so, have you contacted Google support, or find another solution ? I'm afraid the phone is not waterproof at all in this condition ...
Thx

Mine looks the same, however it's really hard to notice. More or less have to squint

No problem here. Definitely your phone is not waterproof.
It's a new phone, I wouldn't accept this if I were you.
Let them fix/replace it.

Had the same and even worse with two new pixel 5 phones.

Ok, thanks for your answers. So it is not an isolated case, how can Google let phones leave production lines with visible trouble like this . This is not a £100 product from an unknown brand. I will try to contact Google support.

So there it is. A new #pixelgapgate

It's not isolated but how widespread is it? So far 4 or 5 devices but how many more as the rollout progresses. Hopefully by the time it's released in the US all the European flaws will be flushed out of the pipeline. Hey, no wonder you're getting free headphones.

I just thought of something even more concerning. What if it's a battery swelling issue that's causing it to separate? It could have left the production line looking just fine and during shipping a swelling battery caused it to separate.
Just a thought. Hopefully I'm wrong. ?

No issues or gaps with my sage green pixel 5 after having a proper look.

I have the same problem but it's not as pronounced as OPs. I can already see there is some dust getting caught in the gap. I'll probably contact support tomorrow. It's pretty disappointing because I really like the phone but I'm not going to pay for a flawed product. Thanks for making the thread, at least I know it's not just my phone now. I'd suggest anyone else who has this issue to either get a replacement or a refund because there's no way a phone with a visible gap is IP68.

Same with my pixel 5. Biggest gap is on the upper left edge (can). I'm pretty sure it's not waterproof anymore.

There's a slight gap for me but it's uniform around the phone?

Top left corner for me.
Guys, just apply some pressure with your fingers for a minute or so and the adhesive should stick to the screen and close the gap permanently.. probably some manufacturing fault.

I've got a gap at the top and bottom left corner, too.
Already chatted with google and they'll send me a new pixel.
Ordered mine through the google store to germany

This is troublesome but still not widely reported. I keep watching AP and Android Authority for information but all I see are reviews. Hopefully, it was just a bad batch and nothing more. I wouldn't think twice, just return it and replace it.

Problem is then you end up in the OLED Lottery and it's one RMA after another!
On chat with them now. Provided pictures. Currently on hold while they check this further.
I think a uniform gap is the norm to be fair.
Will see what they say.
Edit: if I flag it and they say it's fine, then it causes issues down the line, at least I've flagged it and have a case ID to back me up

Can you snap a quick pic of the gap? I just watched the 3 Youtube reviews posted previously and didn't see a gap although he didn't focus on the sides of the phone. If you have a store nearby with a P5 on display I'd head over there and compare and send it to Google if they try to blow you off.
