Yeah, but telling about the tested thing is good because if i said in my thread , use any metal polisher then maybe someone use any which may have a high abrasion and can make conditions worse.

Very nice.. I was planning to do a metallic whitish colour.
Also, I think the button needs to be painted too.. do you have plans for those.. and how are you planning to do it?
Thanks
no, i like the bottons has they are
Let the buttons as they are, the contrast is very nice. I wonder how long will the paint least until scratches will appear :lol:
i think that they will not appear has they didn't appear on my laptop paintjob

And what is the name of the paint spray and varnish you've used?
great job adolfotregosa! how did you remove the lcd from the front casing. i have already dismantled my unit following the pdf posted by someone, which was more intented to fix the speaker problem.
GreenGremlin. any model toy paint spray usually works. it is important to sand off the surface with a very fine sand paper like what adolfotregosa used to remove any clear coat lacquer, and then sand it off again with wet, fine sand paper.
Love the color and I live the job done. Hmmm... Can anyone PM me the link on removing the case, I will try this out and I plan to make a design, ofcourse a yellow looking Imate won't look that good...
The PDF is quite big in size to send via email. i couldn't upload it to the ftp also thus here's the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384&highlight=disassemble
btw, the pdf was originally made by someone to try to fix the speaker problem. i didn't dare to remove the LCD since i didn't want to break anything, most especially the LCD.
if someone would be kind enough to post instructions on how to remove the LCD would greatly be appreciated by the group.
I saw some pretty cool jams on some site a while back that had been skinned,looks a pretty good alternative and you can change them all the time,don't know where to buy them from though!

Think you're talking about a site called skinit.com They sell vinyl skins that peel off when you want to change the look. The skins cost around $10 USD, but I don't recall seeing anything on their site for a Jam.
Hi guys,
I couldn`t find a topic about cleaning our phones, so here it goes.
I`m scared of using any kind of chemical before someone actually posts a good result after trying it
I assume that different parts of the phone must be cleaned differently:
1. White plastic around the phone - micro fiber towel alone doesn`t do the trick. I`ve heard that Mr. Clean Magic Erase cleans it well, but there is nothing like it that sells in my country. I would like to know if water or alcohol can be used without any harm to the plastic.
2. Aluminium parts - any kind of chemical that can clean it well ? The beats logo is awful looking after several days of use. I`ve heard that it can be removed completely with a nail polish removal . Also scared about trying it lol !
3. Speaker grills - toothbrush can do the trick, but does it work alone without any water, alcohol or something like that ?
Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks !
yea +1 on the white plastic
what is the best "Easy" to find way?
I've used the eraser on the white but for the back all I use is a semi damp paper towel or towel. No chemicals. It wipes off the scuffs and the marks easily and safely

I meant 'the' eraser as in the Magic eraser.. being the plastic doesn't appear to be smooth a normal eraser would be a horrible idea lol
Personally I don't know how bad your phones are but a damp cloth works for me every time. Maybe try a tip of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and wiping down the plastic... as always start in a hidden area like maybe around the USB port

i switched my out of box phone with my cousin's one month used phone, so the whites are a little yellowed hence the question
damp cloth didn't do much, ill try to hunt down the eraser
Let me know how that Magic Eraser works. I am on vacations where they do sell it, but live in a place that doesn't so I'd take some with me if it works.

I clean my phone often flipping between bare back and different cases.
I only use Eye Sunglass cleaner w/ a soft microfiber towel. Applying to the towel.
To clean the speakers, I use tape.

Nailpolish remover makes it super easy to remove the beats logo. I've used it to remove all the logos on my aluminum stereo equipment. I think beats is a joke and it looks better without it.
I also clean the back of my phone with spit and whatever shirt I'm wearing at the time... The front I clean with a microfiber cloth from an eye glass cleaning kit.

From my experiences, never use anything but a damp (water) microfiber cloth to clean the screen. Any chemicals (including various percentages of alcohol) will strip off the chemical coating on the glass that makes it so smooth to slide across and sheds finger oils. As for the back, a damp (again water) paper towel etc. Has always taken everything off of aluminum very easily for me. For plastics like the sides, a 5% isopropyl alcohol solution works well in most cases. Ethanol and other cleaners can react with the plastic depending on the type and turn it yellow. I don't know what the plastic here is, but why risk it? Also mine is still fine with that. This is also what most quality lcd cleaning solutions are if you don't want to mix it yourself.
The magic eraser is pretty awesome for removing really stubborn material though. And that includes the beats logo of you are so inclined but that's because it's abrasive so it will leave a dull patch on the plastic or aluminum if you use it too often. I can confirm though that one mild use on the aluminum won't leave a dull patch. Be especially careful around the shiny champfers.
For the yellow plastic is try the isopropyl alcohol first. Good luck

Any rubber/eraser works.
I have a product called Endust Electronic, in a spray. I spray a hit onto a microfiber cloth and have used that to clean the white plastic.....works great. I use the same for the metal back, I NEVER use chemicals on the screen......very slightly damp microfiber, nothing more.

Hi Guys
What way would be best to remove scratches of the metal rim? Sandpaper? Aluminium Polish?
Any advice appreciated
FKO...
I haven't got any scratches yet but if or when I do I'll use autosol with a cotton bud
I removed mine with a nail buffer. Just be careful & tape over the surrounding surfaces.

Autosol? But that (maybe) will get off because of you hold the phone daily and sometimes the phone overheats then the polish will come off easily
Just want to know what's your experience with autosol because I just sick of the scratches on my Note 4 and I want to try it.

Toothpaste method is for removing oleophobic coating, it doesn't really remove the scratches but the whole thing on top of your lense. If it doesn't work for you, then it might be that the camera lense on g2 is different from the phone the guide you were following was written for. If your pics quality is really affected by the scratches, you should change the rear housing backplate that contains camera lens & volume buttons. It's around $20 I think.

Metal polish doesn't sound like a good idea, it might damage the glass (if it's glass underneath anyways). Just noticed mine is scratched too, but pics seem decent. It's a really bad quality I guess since I use double layer hard case for my phone and I doubt lens is in contact with anything most of the time. I dunno man, google a bit about it. Replacing the part if nothing works, or if you mess things up. Be careful. There are some guides online but I think finding out which material is it made of is essential. For example, if it's polycarbonate you can use something with hydrofluoric acid. It will remove everything from it leaving the lense clear. But if it's glass, hydrofluoric acid will dissolve it and make it look like frosted glass.

pretty sure you are over it by now, but ill leave this gem over here.
buy off a low quality phone housing and replaced only the camera lens glass cover by popping it out. ebay had an offer for $5+ as i remember.
well, its not that so hard for you to find its housing.For me, in my country , its really really hard to find as no one sells LG parts so much.
If you are having trouble finding it and you don't mind waiting, order it online. AliExpress for example
Hello XDA, I have a Galaxy S7 edge and my screen got scratched badly. Is it possible to remove it? I don't wanna replace the screen :crying:
Yes you can!
Try sandpaper and rub well with toothpaste about 30 minutes.
No more scratches then.

I wouldn't suggest using sandpaper on your phone. This method works by rubbing down the surrounding glass to the depth of the scratch so it looks like normal. Do this at your own risk of scratching your phone more. Tis but a scratch
