The phone isn't made of plastic though. This isn't a Samsung device. :)

I do believe it is laser engraved into the aluminum and will be almost impossible to remove without damaging the device in some way.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hp79:
Yeah, I can't really tell if it's laser engraved or if it's painted. I don't mind the logo on mine, but if there's a way to get rid of the logo I would remove the "beats" logo too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] inneyeseakay:
My Otterbox Commuter did a great job of removing both logos from the back. :D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BAM1789:
I would try some 1000 grit sand paper. Just be careful not to hit the anodizing or you scratch that off too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hp79:
Bad advice.. I would never ever try that.

Once you use sandpaper, no matter what grit number, there's no way back. You'll never be able to make it blend with the rest of the area.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
Now how do you remove the Otterbox logo?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] inneyeseakay:
Thin layer of Bondo, some sandpaper and a little paint. ;)

Have you tried using a cotton ball soaked with some rubbing alcohol? Used to work for some phone logos back in the days.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I hear putting it in the mircowave on high for 15 seconds will fix your problem. Or soaking it in water... Maybe is you shoot a shotgun shell real close to the phone it will burn it off??

(by the way don't try any of these things:eek:)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Fluffmatic:
My XDA is a great device, I've been using it since O2 first released these things (Yes, I was one of the fools who paid the original £500....) and its recently been given a new lease of life by the great work people have done on this forum :-)

My problem is.... obviously its getting on a little now and the connections for charging seem to be dirty/tarnished, if I "wiggle" things it works fine. This seems to happen both with the USB cradle which came with it, or the recently purchased Sync-n-Charge cable.

Does anyone have any tips on how to clean these small, presumably fairly sensitive, connections?

I've tried a squirt of WD-40 and more wiggling, which does seem to have improved things, but if I'm not careful while its in the cradle then it doesn't charge, so I pick it up to go out and it shows less than 100% charge (It once ran flat completely whilst in the cradle with the power connected)

BTW, If anyone's thinking about battery life, I can thoroughly recommend the 1800 ah battery upgrade available for these. Its quite simple to fit and does provide a really good improvement over the original for a modest cost. Its available in the UK from:

http://www.expansys.com/expansys.asp

along with pretty much most things you can get for these devices. One recommendation though is to shop online.... I rang and asked about the high capacity battery only to be told that they didn't sell them.... so i just bought from their website instead....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
I never use the cradle, its the cradle that over long term usage causes the problems, instead of WD40 which leaves a residue on the contacts look for something called switch gear or similar, used for electronic components such as stuck on of switches etc.

[General Topics] Altrezia:
Hey guys,

Bit of a weird post, as I am not sure what the answer will be.

I want a new mobile. I've had iPhones since the first one, and currently have a '5. I am totally sick of the OS - the list of icons is shiiite. Even now I'm back to being jailbroken and tweaked it's still dull as dishwater, and now feels fragile to (as all JB'd phones do).

So; mighty phone quest 2013. It started just before christmas, and is still going. So far I have bought, tried and returned (or sold):

Nexus 4 (nice enough I guess, bad at games compared to the iPhone, do like raw android)

Samsung GS3 (hate the plastic, hate the blue-tinted screen, no better than N4 at anything else)

HTC One (silver) (badly put together, gets hot when used, terrible camera, still worse than iP5 at games, especially 3d ones)

HTC One (black) (better then the silver, build-wise, but same everyhting else)

And tried briefly in store, but not bought:

Xperia Z (Felt a bit light and plasticy? Unsure about Android updates in the future?)

I need a phone for (in order):

Email

Twitter

Web

Camera

Texting

Facebook

Apps (Addicted to buying apps!)

Games

Phoning

Music

Video

So, what should I get? I did have an S4 on pre-order, but I cancelled it today because I just don't think I can live with the plastic-ness.

Any tips on which android phone to go for would be ace.
[General Topics] michal89chz:
If for low cash only 3 phones: Nexus 4, Nexus 4 or Nexus 4 :)

With good kernel and rom that phone is faster than S3 in games/UI and it not have overheating.
[General Topics] Altrezia:
Cash isn't really a problem. :)

Nexus 4 is nice, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. What Rom/Kernel would you recommend?
[General Topics] michal89chz:
I dont have it (my brother have) but most kernels are good like Franco kernel . Overhating is now not a problem and phone is realy faaaaaaaast

Low cash: Nexus 4

A lot of cash: S4 (Octa) or next Nexus, iPhone.
[General Topics] jonniboi1985:
You kind of eliminated most new top spec handsets yourself. Apart from the Galaxy s4, which you will not like as yet again it's plastic. You want the best of everything in one phone which sadly you're not going to find.

Among all these smartphones, I want to suggest you Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. It has a 12 megapixel camera giving you autofocus and LED flash. With features like geo-tagging, touch-focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization, you can capture every moment with ease. It is powered by the latest NFC technology and the operating system is the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. You will find the gaming experience is bound to be awesome. This Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone is also packed with a secondary camera of 1.3 megapixel along with the facility of video recording.

As for the O/P, the HTC DNA is not cheaply built and has respectable specs.

Did you own the HTC One S/V/X or the "One", because that seems like the phone that would fit your scenario the best.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] KpaBap:
As it is, the HTC One will sync all my Gmail contacts without any ability to choose which groups to sync. This results in every person I've ever emailed from Gmail to show up in my phone dialer app as a contact.

I can choose groups to hide or display but this doesn't stop the syncing of these contacts and does not hide them from the phone app.

This is actually quite a deal breaker for me since I do not want to delete my email contacts from Gmail, I just don't want to see them on my dialer app. I can't imagine I'm the only person running into this issue.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
Hello,

I'm trying to build my own ROM (CyanogemMod) unfortunately, the command adb devices returns the device name but says its offline.

I don't think it's directly caused by the phone because the same command under Windows is working fine. (see attached pic)

So I tried every USB port (2.0 or 3.0), restarted the VM, the Phone, kill then start the adb server, but the issue remains.

I desperately need your help :o

Thank you

Latest HTC Drivers

Latest HTC Drivers extracted from HTC Sync v3.3.21 and HTC Sync Manager v2.0.61.0

Latest Driver Version (HTC Sync): 4.0.1.001

Latest Driver Version (HTC Sync Manager): 4.2.0.001

BMP Drivers are the same for both sets of drivers.

For those who don't want to have to download 120 some MB of bloatware called HTC Sync ;)

------------

MD5 CHECKSUMS

Sometimes downloading from the internet can yield a corrupt download. To prevent this, make sure you always check the md5 checksum (also known as "md5sum") of the file. This method verifies the

digital integrity

of the file by verifying its digital signature with the MD5 algorithm.

After you download each file, make sure to check that the md5sum matches what is given.

How to check the md5sum of a file:

Windows:

For windows you need to download the md5sum binary. I recommend the one from my dev-host.

After that, copy the file you're trying to verify to the directory where where you downloaded the "md5sum.exe"

Once that is finished, do SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK (inside the folder window) and choose "Open command window here"

Then type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):

md5sum fileNameHere

That will output a hash, which you can compare to the ones above.

Linux: No need to download anything, md5sum binaries are included in all distros, as far as I know.

Open a terminal and type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):

$ cd path/to/download/folder
$ md5sum fileNameHere

Two important notes:

This method can be used with any files you download, as long as the download site (or the dev themself) provides the correct md5sum.

If any of the digits do not match

exactly

, you need to download the file again.

Updated Drivers to version 4.1.0.001.

Two important note, from here on out I will also be including fast links for the Sync setup files (HTC Sync and Sync Manager), as well as a SyncManager_XXXXX_STRIPPED.exe which will literally be ONLY the Sync Manager program, all drivers stripped out from it (as in, it won't install any drivers, hence a much smaller file size).

You will now be able to find the FULL setup files for HTC Sync and Sync Manager inside the Original HTC Sync Folder of the linked mediafire folder in the OP. This will provide a much faster download if you do want to install either one, rather than a capped speed download from the HTC site itself.

Well here's the changelog

Updated on 4.23.13

HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.msi

HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.exe

HTCPluginChecker.exe

HTCSync_3.3.21.exe

SyncManager_2.0.53.0.exe

Dear XDA Developers,

I have searched everywhere looking for a way to get this Half Life Quake port working on my Xperia Play. So far out of the few Quake android ports. Ql4A is the only one that runs it, and it doesn't let press buttons and there is no use item. The other ports don't works as well, so I recommend using Ql4A. Has anyone found a way to get it working or found an alternative Quake port that is able to run the game with use button working? Is there a Xperia Play optimized Quake port that can run this? Please help, I want to play Half LIfe so bad!

I know its possible because of this.

Heres what you do:

Edit in config.cfg buttons, and it just to be sure to root of game (\Quake) and all roots of mods (\Quake\hl).

-It's important to set "usebutton" in Config.cfg, there's no way, how you can set it in game; I set it on JOY1, it's my joystick button, and I advice to you, to set primary and secondary fire too, I set it on q and r, it's my softkeys (that two under display, depends on your device, you can't found it in game controls settings).

I emailed motorola and they told me to turn off the phone and use vol up+down+power to go into the recovery option and whip all the caches. I thought that'll also whip the update and recover to the version when I first bought the phone.

Can't remember the version when I first bought the phone. I think it's something like 4.0.1 or 4.1.1.

How can I restore the phone to that version?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koftheworld:
You will have to either root install safestrap and install one of those in a rom slot or unlock your bootloader and fastboot one of the deodexed versions back to your device. Option c is to just try a different rom. Option d is to do a factory reset and see if that helps.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] et4891:
I guess I will try a factory reset then...it should be in those phone settings right? or there's some hidden code I need to punch in or something to do a factory reset?

totally new with androids no idea how to flash a different rom :(
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gps4213:
In the phone settings go to Privacy and you will see Factory data reset. This will not return you to any other rom, just wipe all user data and cache data.

The only way to return from 4.1.2 to any other rom is to unlock the boot loader as Koftheworld said. There are may tutorials out there on how to do that and quite a few tool boxes that can do all the heavy lifting for you. Do some forum searches for 'tool kit' or 'utility' and you should be able to find some.

How is everyone finding the battery life. Personally, I am finding it just plain horrible. I'm not sure what the issue is specifically but either something is draining it or it is just really that bad, in which case I will return it. I can't get a day's worth of moderate use out of it. It seems to be at most half of what I get from my note 10.1 and they aren't set up any differently. I've tried some of the basics like turning down the screen brightness (which annoys me), turning off the smart stay (but why have a feature you can't use), tweaking email checking settings, turning off samsung sync, turning off bluetooth (don't use it), and locations services. Is anyone else seeing this as an issue and does anyone have any additional suggestions for me to try?
