Just bought a v1605 and the sticker is already pestering me enormously. Its just too shiny.
Has anyone here removed it? I want to know whether if I remove mine I'll have a dent underneath it or anything.

Do a search on the word sugarcube or sugar cube

Thanks for the reply, I have actually used sugar to remove logos quite a few times myself, this time I am actually referring to the sticker at the top of the v1605 which is a plastic lump.
I just can't tell what it will look like underneath and don't want to start peeling it back in case it looks bad underneath.

Does anybody know what is the best way to remove the "MDA T-Mobile" print from my Magician?
Well, if the cover is really metal, then you could try using a paint remover and a soft cloth. If the cover is actually plastic then probably the best way woud be to use a light abrasive, like the plastic polish that you can buy to take the scratches out of a mobile phone plastic screen cover. You might try an experiment on small part of the cover in a non-obvious place first to see what happens.
remove t-mobile brading
I read in some german forum it can be done with a cube of sugar!! I thought it was a joke but then I tried it and it worked :lol: Now I just have an MDA without T-Mobile
cheers
Rainer
what do you do with this cube ?
Yes a cube of sugar as you get it in some countries with a cup of coffee! You take this cube of sugar and you scratch it over the T-mobile branding! don't worry, sugar is too weak to leave marks in the cover but its strong enough to remove the colored branding!!! Note: This also works to take away the Orange branding on some mobile phones....
Cheers
Rainer
Yes! The sugar cube worked great! The prints are gone and there are no scratches what so ever!
What sort of nutter thought of doing that!?

Hey, he found it an a german forum. Germans have the best ideas
Ok,
The solution is simply to apply a thin layer of nail polish on the problematic areas.
This is unseen and solves the problem.
This works fine!
Nadavi.
are u suggesting a grey nail varnish ? or a clear one before the paint starts peeling?
Yes
yes, Before it starts peeling.
Nadavi
may be it will stop peeling of painting.. I am not saying it will not, but will definitely invalidate device warranty.
i don't see how it can damage the warranty.
NAdavi
don't think the invalidated warranty will be a major issue in the UK, since it appears that it's not worth the paper it is written on
applying any permanet layer of chemical substance can lead to refusal to repair device under manufacturer's waranty.
Your milage may vary...
you can't even see it...it's a one millimeter transparent nail polish...its external and if you really want to you can peel it with your nail (its not easy but it can be done).
this is not an irreversible process.

How about peel it all off so it's nice and shiney?
Any suggestions on how to do this safely? Mine is peeling a little bit...but I think it's getting worse day by day.
Sugar cube?
Well...i'm a total n00b at this. I love the P3600 but noticed the peeling and joined on the forum to get some ideas. Has anyone done this already with photos to see what it looks like? The thought of sending it in for a few weeks seems totally crazy. Plus, I bought it from some small phone store that doesn't seem totally up on repairs and the like. Prefer to take care of it myself.
you can use sugar cube to scratch the painting off. it will not damage the underlying layer of paint. Old trick, but works well.
anyone have any pictures of after the sugar cube trick or with the nail polish on?

Yeap, I would like to see those also
I've noticed that the corners of my n1 are black and appear to be worn out as if the case it's in or possibly pants pocket has rubbed against it too much and worn out the soft part of the bottom corners.
Has this happened to anyone else or do I need new pants?

I pretty much always carry my phone in the included neoprene sleeve and haven't had such an issue. Can you post pics?
What case are you using?

It's not wearing out, the pouch marks the phone. They do come off though.

OP is complaining about black and worn out corners.
The skin will protect the corners.
How was that not obvious?

I also have the same problem, i got black marks on the lower corners.
Can you suggest a way to clean it?
Thanks
I've tried just smudging/rubbing it but it seems pretty stubborn and I don't want to damage it further if it is actually wearing out.
I'll try to get a pic, they don't turn out well because of the colours (grey on grey)

Not exactly, but someone on the Google Android Help forum stuck an invisible shield type thing on his, and the spots transferred to that when it was removed.
i've put a little rubbing alcohol on a handkerchief. that works ok...
Bah!
Just noticed the camera glass on the back on the phone has a nice crack through it... not sure how it happened as the phone has barely been used and never dropped!
Luckily it doesn't seem to be effecting the photos - but it is a bit of a worry and I don't want it getting worse and damaging the actual camera lens
Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that I might be able to source a replacement part this early in the phones life cycle?
I don't really want to get Samsung or Vodafone to fix it as I had my S3 sent back due to a manufacturing issue and didn't see the phone for another 5 weeks!!
From what I can see in the tear down videos, the camera is quite easy to get to and the glass is quite easy to remove, so I might give it a go at home...
As for the warranty - I assume this voids it, but I can't see any security seals that would let them know this had been done, am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
Are you sure it's a crack in the glass and not just a scratch in the protective seal? I've had some bubbles under what I assumed was the glass but it turned out I just didn't remove the plastic seal that was on the real glass.
Can't help you with replacement if it's really cracked, good luck though!

Nope, Unfortunately it's a pretty genuine crack, you can feel the two pieces shifting slightly when you gently tap the area - very frustrating

On the S3 you could remove the glass cover the lens is actually further back in the housing, try this video see if it works the same on the S4.
Cant help with a replacement part but at least you can remove it and order one espares once they become available.
Ah that's a good idea!
Before I start hacking away at it to check, does anyone have an S3 and S4 and could compare the camera housing by eye - just to see if they do look like they are built in a similar way?
Thanks for your help!

I've just looked at my S3 and it is different appears the S4 is more intergrated theirs no natural place you could get a pin to lift it away.
Hello, I'm searching the net for a protective case that got a full front cover and that is not stuck with glue... Seems funny but I didn't found any... I had no luck with the screen protectors given by Elephone, the one they put on the phone had dust under so I had to remove it, I ****ed the one on supply and the tempered one is broken inside the box... Any idea or suggestion ? thanks !
Would something like this be OK or do you have something different in mind?

That would be ok, but what is the black part, is it glue ? I found a lot of that kind of case but the doesn't stand on the phone, they are all stuck on it. Basically one drop and it's dead.
