personally...$60 is too much for that...so glad i bought it when the seller didn't realize that white was special for only $30

looks gorgeous. But it says these digitizer replacements are OEM? i didnt know sammy made the front bezel in white!

Is particularly hard to replace the digitizer?

It takes some time...you need a heat gun...or hairdryer...but that takes forever
You have to use the right tools otherwise you might crack the case
Youtube has some videos too.
Yes its OEM...its released in some countries...just not the US

Damn thats one sweet looking tab. I want to get this done to mine but I am scared to do it because I don't want to break my tab and I know I will most likely do that.

That is awesome! I'd like to do it but I can't find that video for the life of me on Youtube. The only ones stop before taking the digitizer off the LCD. Can you post a link to the teardown you used?

Did your replacement white digitizer come with a glue strip pre-installed like the iFix-it article discusses?

Here's a video on youtube...I think it's the only one right now showing the actual process of replacing the digitizer. Not sure if it's necessary to remove any of the components like the guy does in the video...I guess he's just being careful.

Yep...all oem stuff do

Wow, this has me tempted to convert my grey tab to all white using parts. Didn't even think about doing that. Would love to have my Tab match my white E4GT.

Is there any confirmation that the "OEM" white ones on eBay are Gorilla Glass. I believe the production GT10's are supposed to be.
I only ask because my IO Galaxy Tab has a nasty scratch. I wasn't sure if it wasn't necessarily Gorilla Glass because of it's preproduction status or if the Glass on the GT10 is inherently soft. I know Corning lists the device on its list of Samsung devices although who knows how OEM the eBay glass really is.

I can't state for sure but pat of me says who cares. I've written gorilla glass off as marketing hype. I've had my White Epic 4G Touch since launch day and I already have several small but noticeable in the right light/angle scratches on my supposed Gorilla Glass digitizer. I have a case on my phone and take as best of care of it as I can. I've always passed on screen protectors on most glass displays but this is the second device I've had now where typical in and out of jeans pocket use has resulted in scratches on my digitizer.
I've started to think Gorilla Glass helps in drop and impact scenarios but not really in the scratch department.
Sorry if my post comes off as a bit of a rant...I'm just a tad frustrated by said scratches.

Melted corner

Hi guys and girls.
I'm familiar with the crack with the sensor. I have it too...
But know I have something what I didn't hear or read before. My right down corner is melted. (I'm now on vacation in Berlin but when I'm home I'll will post some pics).
Does somebody else have that too? I HAD my phone in a case from noreva. But I truly can't believe that my phone can get that hot that its melting...
And who is to blame? Sony or noreva?

I'd say it was the case.
Have fun in Berlin and post some pics when you're back

I have the same problem. Right corner is melted too.

Could you post a pic, please?

The sharemobile datacenter apparentely burned...
The pics aren't available...

Where is the picture?

The chrome sides are peeling because of the heat and sweaty palms. Trust me, i enclosed my arc with a silicon instead of a hardcase because of this. The xperia arc isn't made out of *premium materials* after all

I'd say the covers robs the chrome and paint off.
My Arc never got hot down there (using it naked) and the corner looks good

My Arc S only gets hot on the upper part where the camera is, an that is also the case with Arc S that belongs to one of my friends...

Same here
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I have the same too. I noticed it a few weeks after I bought my phone but didn't bother much because I keep mine in a case
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

after reviewing the pics, i say it's the case.
i only use the leather pouch since the i bought my arc last june, and so far i don't see any peeling on the chrome and paint.
all i see is the "famous" crack near the light sensor
ps. it never gets hot at the buttom area, only on upper area. i think thats where the processor, memory, vga, and other stuffs that gets hot when running heavy duty apps/games

Hi guys me again. I'm back from my quick vacation. I'm glad that i'm not the only person who had this. Its indeed strange because I can't remember when its getting hot in that place. WHEN my phone is getting hot, it is normally around the camera.
Here are some pics together. It wasn't easy to make a close up.
As you can see in the bottom right pic. My case is open in that corner even when the case is closed like on the picture.

Damn, that looks ugly.
But I'd say the case is the reason

That's strange then.
My Arc is over 10 months old and the corner is fine
Also it got dropped a few times

Silver to Black attempt

I bought the HTC One in silver since it was the only colour stocked by O2. But i do really prefer my phones in black so tried making a sticker for the front and back. Here's my attempt, its not perfect but what do you guys think?

I don't think so. You can see some air bubbles under the sticker and the seams from the white dividers on the top and bottom

Sell This
Can you describe how you did this and or sell a kit? This would make me feel better about pre-ordering a silver One.
Surely OP will deliver!

Im a part time graphics designer and have access to a vinyl plotter and endless types of vinyl. So i got to work by creating a template of the front/back for the plotter, loaded the matt black vinyl and let the plotter do the rest.
The hard part was measuring every aspect of the fone, as you can see for the front camera n sensors I got the measurements slightly wrong.
In the future i would love to try carbon fiber vinyl on this.

Im gonna plasti-dip mine since i got the silver. Gives you color options, adds some protection and gives it a nice grippy surface... :beer:
Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O

i willingly could buy your silver device if you dont like it even its not announced yet offcialy in my country. just checkin' picks

I don't care about black or silver.
The main thing is, the surface is not shiny.
That's why I always liked the phones from HTC (my One is on the way )

would you be willing to start making more of these and selling them?!

I think a matte sky blue...a la Volvo's blue in their performance line...but matte or satin would look amazing on the One.

That's seriously nice. Gives me faith that someone will make skins ala Nexus 4. Also makes me reconsider waiting for black.

So. Jealous. I wish I could convince my boss that we need to get one, unfortunately we have no use for one so....:crying:

Awesome work Kasa! Any chance you'd be willing to share the plotter file so we could hit up a local shop and get our own vinyl cut?

This thing is gorgeous! What do you think guys? Based from the tweets this will be only available in the UK

Much better than the green one that has been posted in another thread.

I want, I want, I want. It looks nice, too bad it is UK only (gotta love exclusives)

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks awesome

I wonder if it's that coated paint like on the black that can chip or like the silver.

seen this in person, it looks A LOT better IRL than it does in photos... might be coming to Canada

anodized i'm sure... I wonder if we could get our aluminum anodized and make our own colors.... Of course it would have to be taken apart but hey, it could probably be done. I know a guy who anodizes, hmmm.
Red with a red bumpers would be hot!

That would have been nice to have. I wish HTC had offered the Developer Edition in special colors instead of the same silver and black. That would have been nice way to differentiate.

i was thrilled to read about 64gb version being offered in red by phones4u but to my great dismay, it's still a 32gb version on the pre-order.
why is it so hard to get a htc one 64gb or s4 32gb ?

Im from Canada so when a client came by my work with the Verizon HTC DNA I loved it. If the One came with that option it would have been the one I got.

On the topic of custom colours: if the phone *could* be taken apart safely I would already have mine Tonsixers anodized, but it's a sure fail plan

Isn't there a company that sells HTC One parts including speaker grills? Maybe you can get your wish soon.

I really like it. I hated the mock-ups from a few months ago but this thing definitely looks beautiful. Still prefer my raw aluminum look, but this is very nice.

If you add some gold trim, it might as well be called Iron Man Red lol

My LG is crapping out.

Now I love my LG don't get me wrong but I seem to have problem after problem. First of all my service is terrible. I've tried new Sim cards nothing helps... Second my auxiliary port just stopped working completely. The plugs plug in and click but no sound is transmitted. Third my camera lens has seem to develop this "film" on it. Here are examples.

That kind of problem seems like it can only be fix with the warranty.

Call LG and send the device to repair.

I plan on it, but I just wanted peoples opinions about it. I refuse, and I mean refuse to pay LG for any repair they do to my phone. I have never even dropped this thing and besides these issues it is in perfect shape. However my phone is rooted with a custom recovery, but since these are "hardware" issues and not "software" do you think I will have any issues?

Yes you will have to unroot it even though its not a software problem warranty's are terrible about denying people even though rooting didn't mess it up its like Chevy saying we won't repair your engine because you have custom seats and a custom radio

It does but idk how without the surrounding area being effected. Likes its perfect everywhere else. I feel like its on the inside on the lens as the glass feels smooth still. Like condensation that dirtied the inside.
