[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
No they are too incompetent to notice. They don't know anything about phones. They just hire a bunch of sexy women and have their looks do the talking. I'm pretty positive they wouldn't notice this.

BTW Thanks OP Just did this took me 1 minute and now the phone looks even better. I was annoyed by the logo. I bought the double silicone case at the corporate store and the bottom of the silicone didn't cover up the chrome all the way and half of the logo was showing and pissn me of lol. Now it looks nice and clean no scratches. Also if anyone buys the double silicone case by incipio, it covers up the led notification. I took an sharp utility knife (fresh blade) and cut the corners round to match the bottom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eXecuter.bin:
IIRC, wouldn't a sugar cube also work for this task but even safer than a penny?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mx5er:
beautiful. Thanks for the heads up on this penny technique.

*btw I used a dime and got the same results, no scratches just a nice sleek look
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
I wouldn't recommend a dime since a dime has ridges but whatever works I guess for you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] carzaddict:
i did it to my phone......just lightly scratch it with a penny...you'll be surprised at how easy it comes out. im sure you can ever use ur nails.

and theres not a SINGLE scratch on my phone, its super clean
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mustang02:
I need to go to your Verizon store. Mine is full of dudes who still live in their moms house.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
I had to go on last Friday to find out while I wasn't receiving calls. Their solution was to call Verizon support on the phone and give it to me, and phone support's solution was to pass my case to a "support ticket" for upper-level support. It was like tech help inception.

If some one is that picky about your phone as to hold it that close in just the perfect light... You need to smack the crap out of them take your phone back and tell them to get their own bad ass phone! I'm just sayin!!!!

looks nice, it didn't scratch my phone....but I didn't bear down on it either.

Can't believe that worked... thought I was getting trolled :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AJMetal87:
Oopsy

I started too an got a little too deep...Now its...a unique bionic to say the least...lol. Don't apply too much pressure guys. Haha. Can't stress that one enough.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
Now you're going to scare off all of the people on the fence.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
Nvrmind I misread
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
just did mine last night it looks way better but i will say it did leave a few tiny i mean tiny scratches, the average person will it not notice it and depending on the angle i cant either, i can only see it if i hold it against the light and really tilt it until the light shines just right but thats only cuz im ocd =p. i recommend it, its def worth it my two cents are just be gentle and if its not scratching dont apply more pressure just reangle the penny i learned that half way through...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] InF1uxx:
Just did it to my bionic and cleaned off the fingerprints and there are not any visible scratches. Thanks for the guide.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bgs_piece:
awesome!

I used a nickel since I was unable to find a penny and worked flawlessly; thanks for the tip!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brickinphoneslol:
Thanks for sharing!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
I didn't have a penny here in my office... Used the flat edge of a key instead and it worked perfectly. Just do it gently and slowly.

The logo is one of those powder based things and it just flakes away. The underlying metal finish is pretty hard and wont scratch easily.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] maretus:
I'm the same way. I didn't scratch mine, but you can definitely see where the verizon logo was. It's darker where the logo was than the rest of the surrounding metal.

Can't notice at normal distances, but up close, at the right angle, in the right light, you can see it. :P

I'm not OCD about anything but my gadgets. Hate scratches. I'm probably the only one that will ever see the remnants of the verizon logo, but I still know its there and it bugs me.

So, if any of you are REALLY REALLY OCD about your gadgets, I would stay away from this. I can definitely see where the logo was. No scratches, but a faint dark Verizon Logo with the check mark.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
knocked this out in about two minutes with barely any pressure at all

no scratches of any kind, but like maretus I could see where it was immediately after
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
OK so I'll ask the stupid question for everyone else that's afraid to....what part of the penny do you use? Do you use the outer edge and rub like a tire rolling on the road, do you angle it towards the corner of the edge, do you lay it flat...anyone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
Angled towards the corner edge of the penny
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 7ISFX7:
Just did this...It worked a treat..

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Thanks...the process is pretty much like if you were using a coin on a scratch-off style lottery ticket. You need very little pressure...if it's not coming off you need to change the angle.

Also, use a nice pristine penny that doesn't have too many dings in the edge. I imagine the people that ended up with scratches had a roughed up penny. Choose your penny wisely.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
Outstanding advice!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rcicu:
Thank you!

Worked great didn't take much pressure and I can't see where the logo was! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] triton302:
A tip for those who are scared of using a penny...

If you use a penny to remove a small section, you can apply pressure with your fingernail and remove the rest of that part of the logo. For example... use a penny on the VZW "checkmark" and remove a small piece. Then use your fingernail with some pressure and it will chip away. Do the same with the Verizon logo and you'll be good to go and no fear of scratches.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Has anyone tried WD40? I was going to try it until I read this thread. I know it's good at removing most silk-screened material.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
I've done this too. I removed the logo very gingerly with a clean, smooth penny. I basically just ran the penny back and forth over the phone's surface, with almost no pressure, until it "caught" and starting chipping the silkscreen, and then kept going until the silkscreen was gone.

Absolutely no scratching, it's just like it was never there to start with. Great advice, thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] woohah:
Awesome tip! Worked perfectly and 0 scratches... Funny how something so primitive can prove to be so valuable. Would have never thought of doing this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
What about the logos on the back cover?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JillyBohnson:
Just got my bionic today..so glad i saw this thread.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rwking:
Works flawlessly! Thanks much! :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] korruptedone:
Gouged up my phone doing this. The finish is definitely NOT metal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zachdroid:
That penny trick worked perfect. That's awesome. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
With common sense and penny you can't mess this up.

I have had this done for awhile and the Verizon shadow left behind is now gone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
My OCD a** can't handle doing this. Lol.

I REALLY want to though...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I dont know, I bought a nice silicon cover for $6 on ebay(just as nice as those from verizon store) and it covers up my Verizon logo. I may want to sell this thing 1 day and would prefer to get top dollar to go towards my next phone. But I do agree, i don't like seeing Verizon anywhere on my phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
Anyway to debrand the Motorola Logo now? lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I like that logo :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I basically did the same thing on my Atrix... used a penny to scratch off the AT&T and the motoblur logo and it definitely looked better. I don't mind the Verizon logo on this as much because of the locatoin (mostly out of the way) and it's harder to notice on the reflective surface, though I can see why people would want to have that "accent" piece to look clean.

I'm not happy with you guys. I obviously looked over the phone when I first got it and I noticed that was permanent. It's a nicer looking logo than the printed logos, so I didn't really put much thought into it. After reading your posts, I decided to take a look at it again... I realized it's slightly crooked! I even took a piece of paper and lined it up at the bottom of the M, and it's definitely not straight! I probably would have never noticed if you guys hadn't mentioned it!

I just popped off the back and it looks like it's just a little insert, so it wouldn't be hard to replace. That said, we'd need someone that's willing to create little discs to take it's place. It would definitely be cool to have the option to customize that little insert... I'd kind of like having a little green android there instead or something like that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Do you have a screen protector on?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Baked-Potato:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I'm extremely OCD, especially with my gadgets, and I can tell you it leaves no trace. Almost scary how good it came off.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
You just have to find your rhythm. Start slow....

^^^That could be used for alot of life scenarios ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I was bored and did it just to entertain myself for 5-10 minutes last night.

That surface seems to be very durable. It can take a little force to get it started... I was actually applying a pretty decent amount of pressured and I was worried that it might scratch, but it didn't leave any marks at all. You'd have to be using WAY too much pressure to actually scratch this with something like a penny.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
When I first got my Bionic I was inspecting it up close, checked for dead pixels like for 5-10 minutes straight. Scanned for any physical defects, tested everything that I could think of. OCDing is great imo.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] EDNYLaw:
Worked like a charm, awesome not to have a giant Verizon logo on the front of the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Would be even more awesome to get rid of the "motorola" at the top as well :P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
I feel the same, but that's under the glass I do believe, so a no go

at least for me anyways, not about to tear it apart for that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Nah I don't hate it that much lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kaiowas26:
Works - No Scratches

Easy and doesn't leave a single scratch behind. Thanks, it's a minor change but I definitely prefer it off.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Melladon:
I totally just used my non existent finger nail and it came right off, lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tyrthas:
Thanks for the tip. I never would have thought of it. Easy as hell and made my Bionic even more sexy than it was before :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
The logo never bothered me, mainly because with my Otterbox Defender case, I could never see it. :p

After moving to one of the TPU cases for the extended battery yesterday, that thing was staring at me like a zombie eyeball. FUGLY! Then, when I looked at it closer, I could see a very small section of the "V" (or check mark, whatever it is) was already missing. Never noticed it before. Once I started hacking at that, the whole thing just came right off.

:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] marinegundoctor:
Use a newer penny

It didn't work too well with an old 1985 penny I pulled out of my pocket. I used a newer one with a better edge and it worked great!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] huff825:
The edge of a 16 penny nail worked well also.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] G-diddy:
Worked like a charm. Looks so much sleeker without that lame ass logo. Stick it to the man!! Thanks bro.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] acoupleofdroids:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] janocool:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
Not sure I ever noticed it before. But then again i have a silicone rubber case on mine. Did it anyhow. Easy!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bLastphem0r:
Withing a week of having my Bionic, part of the Verizon logo had scratched off on its own. I'm not sure on what, because the only thing in my pocket is the phone. I worked at the rest of it with only my fingernail, and it came off very easily. I would recommend trying that before taking metal of any sort to the surface.

I definitely agree that it looks much more sleek this way, and I take comfort in knowing how many other OCD folks are hanging around. ;)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cobaltlantern:
Did it in roughly 30 seconds with a dime this morning for fun. Wiped it with a cloth after and it looks great.

It is sneaky though. If I wipe my finger over it, the logo shows up since the newly exposed chrome finish doesn't have the same wear patterns in it.

I think all phones have different SMSC numbers... I messed up mine and when I hit refresh, I see 0180 but I don't know if that's the right number.

I don't think I even changed anything, I only wanted to change it to GSM only but it would not let me do that.

Now, I cannot send text but I can receive it.

Changed it to +13123149810 based on what some people suggested in other forums, that didn't work so I went back to 0180 and went to messaging, settings, then put in +13123149810 in Message Center... that worked!

i'm using SetCPU:

undervolted

have tried various kernels (ninphetamine, speedmod, ragemod - current, mirage) and roms (cognition, solarflare, and leomar -current)

one thing in common is that it in doesn't keep the freq at the minimum for a longer period. even after an 8 hour idle time at night, my phone's at 30% on the 200 mhz, and at about 35% at the 800 mhz.

Hey guys, I just got a sprint Galaxy S II (Epic 4g touch) and I previously had a EVO and it seems like the galaxy s2 has really slow 4g speeds compared to my evo. I was able to get 6-8 Mbps downloads on 4g on the evo but on the epic 4g, I only seem to be able to get half of that (3-4 Mbps) in the same locations. Anyone else have this same issue with the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nkd:
no, but isn't 3-4 just as good as 6-8mb if you are streaming, browsing. I figure you wont see that much of a differnece is 3-4mb is plenty fast enough. I good 4g coverage I get anywhere from 4-8.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
I just did a SpeedTest and got 7.5 Mbps download which is pretty good for me. I don't expect much more than that.

Also your download speeds constantly change depending on location and overall network traffic.

I come from Verizon and even their awesome LTE network speeds fluctuate quite a bit. A few day ago I only got about 4 Mbps down at a certain point during the day.

No network is perfect.

I have a 2 USB port car charger made by capdase in my car.

It outputs 1A, so its around 0.5A each port.

Yesterday I ran out of battery and had only 15%, so while driving I plugged it to the charger.

While talking the phone, it still went down to 14% and it took a long time till it managed to gain some percents. During that time only a voice call was made.

And I was only making a voice call....

So during 1 hour drive, I only gained about 10%.

Now Im about to go for a 1 week trip where I'll be massively using my phone as a GPS and I wonder if it'll even make it through the day.

What would you suggest me to do?

Maybe should I use a different kind of charger? would it make any difference..?

I hope to hear your opinion,

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
I've heard others having similar problem while using power hungry applications while charging, the power supplied by charger isn't enough to run the device so battery has to pitch in as well.

I use a car charger that claims 1 amp output (single port) and it will charge (albeit slower) while I play graphic heavy games.
