there's a black spot on the back is there a way to remove it? doesn't come off using pencil eraser or rubbing it with my fingas.
Dirt spots can be easily removed by applying Isopropyl alcohol. It is fairly easy to obtain. I am not responsible if this damages your device, but handle with care and you should be fine.

Isopropyl alcohol works just as well on plastic too. What is this spot? Do you mind posting a picture.

Is it the black speck? Towards the right of camera lens and moto indent? How'd it get there?
If the rubbing alcohol says isopropyl alcohol/ isopropanol, use it. If it has ethyl alcohol/ ethanol, turn away and run as fast as you can

Hi guys,
Has anyone tried to remove the silver AT&T logo from behind the glass? Thinking about giving it a go but thought I would check to see if anyone else had given it a shot and had any pointers.
Thanks,

Lol, that would look awful! I was thinking I would fully disassemble it and use spray paint.
Wow that its dedication to the cause. Yea honestly I got nothing

i take no responsibilty for this, but I used paint thinner(gun wash actually seeing as I work at a paint shop lol) and rubbed it off my old phone, quite easily actually.
I personally would try that before spray paint...
Get a cover that covers it
U can't see the logo this way, and u r still covered by warranty just in case.
Be careful with 'paint thinner', there is more than one kind. I'd start with rubbing alcohol, then acetone, progress to mineral spirits, then if that doesn't work try some MEK(methyl ethyl ketone). You can quickly melt away any plastics or finishes if you use too strong a product first time out.
I recently noticed a bluish/gray discoloration/stain from unknown whereabouts on the white plastic trim on my phone. Just wanted to let everyone know soap and water failed to get it off but a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser did the trick without any harm to the phone.

I wonder if this is a common problem since im thinking of getting http://www.amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-Du...keywords=Qubits+htc+one+M7#productDescription
But i am worried that it may discolor the white plastic trim on the phone :/
Anyone who has any experience with discoloration on the white plastic trim ?

I don't think that kind of material is capable of rubbing off like jeans, I wouldn't worry

It literally just rubs it right off, and works a million times over. Before getting a case I had to do it at-least 4 times when it got a little too blue

Alright. Ordered already, will wait for it's arrival.
Still planning to use it naked though.
You could also use toothpaste and scrub it gently
Anyone else who goes caseless have their white plastic bands on the back get dirty? If so what did you use to clean it?
Thanks
Ive used LCD cleaning wipes for both the One & the One X I used to have with pretty good success.

Another person said rubbing alcohol for tough spot haven't tried it but it's generally safe for plastic as it comes in a plastic bottle!
I used a q-tip and pulled all the cotton off so I just had the hard stick, then dipped the tip of that in rubbing alcohol and that let my apply pressure and get it looking perfect again.
But my job gets a lot of oil on my hands so it could depend on what you think is building up on it, for instance that wouldn't work as well for an architect who got a lot of graphite on it...
A small amount of 409 cleaner on a rag works amazingly.

That logic is seriously flawed.
So I got a black HTC One and barely 15 minutes after using it, it already had fingerprints. But, that's not the problem... The problem is, no matter what kind of cloth I use (the one that came with InvisibleShield, the ones that came with all my old phone's screen protectors, the ones my old cases included, etc...) there's just NO way to clean this b*tch!!! I even thought they were scratches, but that's just impossible, this is the first day of usage it's had and I barely handeled it for a few minutes before putting it in a case... Anyways, those of u using a black htc one or that have had similar issues before, what would u recommend??? Thanks in advanced!!
Try rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth.
Hmm, I don't have alcohol right now but I'll give it a go tomorrow cause where I'll be I'll be able to try it. Have u tried it?
I have a silver One, but rubbing alcohol has always taken the little marks and fingerprints off of other metals with black finishes. It's safe for electronics too. Apply it to a small part of the cloth, work the cloth until it's damp and carefully wipe. Don't slosh the liquid on the phone or get it in the ports..

Hmm, will do! Thanks for ur tip, I'll let ya know tomorrow if it worked out :good:
One more thing... It can affect some plastics and leave a powdery residue so keep it away from the sides and antenna lines. I doubt it would affect the plastic phone, but I'd hate to be the guinea pig.
I've heard others have had success using a slightly damp Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You may want to try that first.
If a damp cloth or microfiber doesn't cut it for you a sand paper delivers a clean slate!!!
LOL

+1 at one point I noticed I accidentally rubbed some on the top antenna strip, I checked my signal and it was still full... Out of curiosity I rubbed the alcohol damped cloth through the whole top antenna strip and nothing happened, then I just cleaned the whole back (except the camera and flash of course) and it's all good still
Does anybody know if the red trim around the front of the employee edition is removable? I pretty much baby my phones and it already has several nicks and places that the color has been knocked off. It's really cool looking but apparently really easy to mess up also. I actually thought about taking it off and painting it black.

Hi,
The red trim is a part of middle chasis that is glued to display/digitizer assembly. The middle chasis is sold seperately but taking off display and sticking it back to new chasis requires professinal skills. You would probably save a lot of time and effort by taking off the remaining red trim and make it all bla ck, much better if you ask me.

It's actually black underneath the silver. You have to be much meaner to it to get the black trim you desire. Silver is for those who've babied the phone.
Oh LOL
Just posting a nice example of this flaw for future references. And yes, it is black underneath, lol.

Not sure how that scratch video helps with this problem. But know not just you. My red is peeling away silver in a few places, down to the black plastic in others. I wonder if you could buy the adhesive foil in red again from somewhere. Otherwise I guess a coat of fingernail polish is probably the next best thing.

Man it's like the trim is a wear indicator of when it'll be time to get a new phone. Going going going.....goo
I wish I had a red bezel!
Couldn't you just get some painters tape and tape off everything but the trim and paint it red again? Maybe even do a gold or what ever you desire?
