Well, if you do, be prepared to spend half an hour using the edge of a piece of paper to remove all of the sand from between the screen and silver edge of the phone.
Can't you just simply watch it as it is water resistant ?

I tried that. The individual grains of sand get stuck in the tiny groove and won't wash out.
That's bad news
Isnt the s5 labeled as dust and water resistant?

Well, I literally sucked some of the sand out with my mouth, so there's that. A lot of it was still stuck under the edge of the screen, but I eventually got it all out with the edge of a sheet of paper. I might try a vacuum next time.
yeahhhh ive got the same problem.. its such a hassle especially if the grain of sand is the same exact dimensions as the gap its as if it was wedged in there permanently!!
sometimes the grain of sand thats stuck it there cuts my cheek when i answer the phone lol
i would suggest a toothpick or a sewing needle.. worked for 99.9% of mine!

I was too scared to try anything pointy. If the toothpick/needle didn't get the last grains out, try computer paper, notebook paper, and then try each of them folder over one time (to create a sort of "scooper" that will fit in the groove). This got me completely sand free.

Kind of laying low. I have a N3 and N10.1-14 that I'm pretty happy with and nothing on the market or coming is enticing enough to give me the new device itch. I'll probably get the Note 4 when it comes out. More out of reflex than anything else. My 3G N10.1-14 is my favorite device of all time.

That's pretty I might do that to my SGSII... then who will be the jealous one?
They actually just released a white version of the Optimus 3D not too long ago http://youtu.be/_Q7bpQjpq74
Edit: here is some more information on it http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_3d_now_available_in_white_from_phones_4u_in_the_uk-news-3055.php
I've seen that. And I started out just doing my battery cover as well.. but I like all the white on the front and around the bezel too
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
That looks awesome. Great job. How hard was it to disassemble the phone and put it back together? I am thinking of doing this but painting it blue or green instead of white.
Taking it apart and putting it back together is really easy. Just find a video on YouTube to be safe.
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
I just saw the video posted above but I agree that it looks way better with white on the front, good stuff. I used to take my iPhone apart all the time to fix or replace broken parts before I got this phone. Just watched videos on YouTube like you said and its a piece of cake

Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
I took it completely apart and sanded it with 200 grit... then I sprayed on grey primer and sanded it down so it was all smooth and applied two coats of white. And one coat of clear.
Edges are hard. So before I peeled off the tape I too a precision hobby knife and cut around the edges so that the would be straight and smooth when I peeled of the tape.

go ahead!!!
i wanna re sand mine and use auto grade paint and use a sprayer... it sucks cause unless you use the primer the black/ dark navy shows through the white. but too much coats and it looks bad...
I've always been annoyed by the horrible noise coming form my speakers, so I did some experimenting and it worked here's how to do it:
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Remove the black fabric covering the faulty speaker(s).
3. Place a piece of electrical tape directly on the speaker.
This will very slightly lower the volume but it alleviates the racket made by the poorly made drivers. This may not work for everyone.

Good Luck!

I have that problem, but hardly seems worth voiding my warranty to fix it by ripping the back cover off.
All you gotta do is turn the volume down a notch and its fine...

You don't rip the back cover off. It's just held in place by some clips. There's no way anyone will be able to tell you took the back off if you doing correctly.

The back just snaps off almost as if they wanted you to. There's no way to tell that you did it.

Sorry, this sounds like a terrible idea. The speakers seem to only be popped over the coil, the real fix would prevent them from coming off of the base. I have reattached mine three times now but they eventually pop back up after some loud notification or such.
Better speakers would be nice, the n7's are just awful.
I fixed my speaker issues or at least reduced it so it's not too bad...
1) remove the back cover
2) now look at the speaker grill from the inside of the back cover. It is a small piece of metal plate with fine holes in it. This is only tack welded to the back cover in a few spots. There may be a couple of pieces of tape from the factory already holding the center section of the plate.
3) now use a few small strips of tape and hold down the rest of the plate at its edges...
4) resemble the nexus 7 and test it out...
The cracking sounds are not as noticeable anymore...
Ymmv....
I am also thinking about removing the little plate all together, or replacing it with a plastic mesh or some thin foam...

Just got mine last night. Was not sure about spending $30 on a screen protector. Glad I did, glass seems like it could stop a bullet.
Easy application that fits the screen perfectly. Only had two small air bubles which went away overnight.
Amazing how good it keeps fingerprints and smears off the glass.
Most wont spend the money but im glad I did

1. is it totally clear, or does it have color frame.
2. can the screen protector stick all over (no air space underneath the edge and the button)?
3. coverage (it's OK if it has couple of millimeters of space from the sides).
I talked with the folks at clarivue by live chat and they told me that is not colored border.
It's totally clear. You can get a perfect fit if you don't get dust trapped underneath. Mine isn't 100% perfect, but it is sitting well on edges. Coverage hada few millimeters from the edge.
So I got the watch yesterday and wore it at the gym today, it was nice to have media control over my phone during gym, just light resistance and 5 min of cardio, i didnt get that sweaty......BUT
there is moisture behind the camera lens now, pictures are blury. Samsung says watch can not be exposed to any water despite them talking of exercise in their manual. AT&T says not our problem
Looking closely at the behind the camera there is a tiny pin hole, I'm guessing a little moisture seeped in. It is sitting in a bag of rice now but if it is salt water i am worried about residue left on the lens. Maybe venture into disassemble and alcohol if someone ever has a picture guide. Any help is welcome
If the small amount of sweat I had caused issues i am wondering what will happen when people go to baseball/football/outdoor activities in summer and actually sweat
oh and the at&t girl suggested i cover the hole up with electrical tape for next workout, HAHAHAHA
the note 3 rules
Jesus man, I was going to use it when I lifted. I guess ill hold off
If I was you I would return it at a different AT&T. Don't tell them what's wrong with it. Just that you decided it's not for you. Then go to another store and buy again.
I would never keep a $300 anything that was damaged beyond my control. If you cant exercise with the watch on....it's not even worth it.

I was pretty much planning to alter it if I ended up buying it. Basically to remove the flap that covers the bottom, and I had no intentions to use a screen protector.

My bad, I thought you were spamming and trying to promote your own product here.
Personally though, not a fan of these types of cases. They're really bulky and I think they completely ruin the look of the phone and makes it look cheap.
I don't sell anything online. I'm just looking for something that with offer a decent amount of protection. I don't want a lot of bulk, but I want something that is sturdy enough offer that much. I've seen drops cracking the screen and figured I may as well look for a case to pop the phone in when I get it. I don't usually punish my phones, but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry.
