when i had my iphone 4s, i had it in a brick case. it was in mint condition for a year and a half till i gave it to sprint and traded in for an htc one. i spent that whole time, holding a brick instead of a sleek phone, for what? so it could look nice even though i couldnt see it? its not like i sold it on craigslist for top dollar cause it looked brand new. i traded in.

so, i now dont care if i have a small scuff on edges of my htc one. its gonna happen. and i dont notice it when im looking at the screen viewing a webpage or text. theres no point at all in caring so much. i couldnt imagine spending money on products to get a 0.3mm mark off my phone.

to each their own though
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
hahahahahHahahahahHAHHAAHHAHA
[One (M7) General] Bhavpreet:
wise words, exactly why i dont have a case. But i still care about getting small scuffs or scratches. Its not for resale value but because i like looking at the phone alot, and theres just that feeling you get knowing your phone is in mint condition even after months of having it.
[One (M7) General] osmosizzz:
The case was redesigned. It has an opening on the power, not covering it because of the ir blaster. I like the case. Adds some protection while trying to keep the sexyy look of the phone
[One (M7) General] Deleted member 5314425:
"fixing" any damage to the aluminum casing of the M7 is the same as with any other clear anodized aluminum: you can use fine and ultra-fine scotch brite pads (grey and white, respectively) to blend the finish back in to the glass-bead finish, if there is raised surface/dent caused from the damage then it needs to be cut down with a fine needle file or scraper prior to the scotch brite. it's best not to remove material if possible since it exposes the raw aluminum, but done properly it can be blended very well and once oxidized it will look fine. If you're a real expert with finishing you could bag the phone with a taped off exposure of the damaged spot, and glass-bead blast the spot followed by brightening with the pads... and produce a semi-raw finish almost identical to the stock finish of the M7... I know the finish very well as I've done a lot of aluminum parts in that finish (both semi-raw and anodized).
[One (M7) General] nerdAFK:
I will never drop it.

My PRECIOUS

:D:D:D:D:D
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Had the double dip flip case and a bit of crap got under it, tiny little pieces of something, they ended up leaving little black marks up the top of the phone, can't remove them and even though they're barely noticeable, they seriously p*ss me off.

Haven't looked into a method for brushing them out but i think sandpaper / glass paper, would do more harm than good.
[One (M7) General] tropical cactus:
Had the same thing happen to me on the front speaker grills. Noticeable at certain angles. The thing is HTC knows about this but they don't have the decency to recall the casing. Really pissed me off as well. So a warning to others: STAY AWAY from double dip case. It damages, not protects, the phone.
[One (M7) General] citionecent:
My feeling exactly. This phone is too pretty to hide under a cover. I have a big smile on my face every time I pick up my phone. I don't think I'll be able to say that of it's in a case. Instead of buying a cover for it, I bought insurance. This way I don't have to worry about it.

oh and you really should of sell your iPhone on cl if it's in that good of condition.
[One (M7) General] icepixie:
Thanks for this tip. Somehow the white bezel around the back got stained on my One.. most likely due to my tpu case. :mad: Gonna try cleaning it off with some rubbing alcohol and a microfibre cloth.
[One (M7) General] Gr8man001:
I use full body Xtreme guard. Granted, it does not offer much (if any) protection from dropping the phone but it does offer the protection from regular nicks from keeping the phone in the pocket or daily use situations. It still gives the 'naked' phone appearance/feel while protecting the screen and the back of the phone. If you add a simple bumper case (along with Xtreme guard), you can have a decent protection without adding much bulk. Just my two cent. Thanks
[One (M7) General] rudyy:
My One is on order, but it looks like, from the above image, that the metal back might need protecting. I don't use cases.

Looks like a skin might be needed.

Anybody have scratches on it?
[One (M7) General] cbronson41:
My wife dropped her ONE DAY OLD One from about knee height onto concrete marking 2 opposite corners. If you've every dropped a bare aluminum anything you what that looks like. Being a machinist in the aerospace & defense industry, aluminum is about 90% what I work with. At work we use these ceramic deburring knifes to take burrs and sharp edges off everything from aluminum to titanium. I happen to have had one at the house and went to smoothing out the rough "dimples' and gouges in the phone. Hers is silver, I probably wouldn't have tried it on a black One, but it blended beautifully. Keep in mind there were still marks from where I had "deburred" it but it looked a lot better than the rough marks from the concrete. The knife is a Noga CERA-CUT CR1100. After a very brief search they look to cost about $25-30. As far as sand paper goes, if you're gonna use it, go with the finest you can find and only do the least area you can get away with. Personally I would use a very soft scotch-brite before I would use sandpaper. Either one of those is going to scratch/haze the aluminum. Go for something bladed, maybe even an exacto with a fresh blade, that you can control to remove as little as possible. I attached a pic of the knife I'm talking about. I'll see if I can get some pics of the wifes phone on here
[One (M7) General] cokey77:
When I got the HTC one I got the HTC double dip flip case free with it and thought it would offer good protection but something got in the corners and has marked it also the back is pitted a bit from grit so pissed at that . So went looking for a case but no one is doing decent cases in the shops seem to be for galaxy s4 and iPhones suprise suprise. But found a clear tpu case with a bit of a frosted finish made by belkin and looks really good but long story short stay away from HTC cases if you don't want marks on your phone. As for marks on the plastic of the one try an eraser and screen you can supposedly can use tooth paste but would rather use a proper scratch remover repair product.
[One (M7) General] justiiin:
Look for the iGard case on ebay.

0,3mm thick, solid, perfect fitting (like reálly tight!) and only 4 euros.

The perfect case for me, cause Im sure it protects it against these bumps.

And I barely notice the case when using it.

Try it! You'll love it!
[One (M7) General] SubliminalThoughts:
Here is one that most won't believe until they try it.

Colgate original toothpaste. Yup the white stuff. Not the gel!

Another is Arm and Hammer baking soda and peroxide toothpaste.

Put some tape over your speaker vents and any other socket including mic to save the toothpaste getting in. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratch and rub with fingers and then a double folder piece of A4 printer paper. Cut to size to make it easy to handle and work on that one spot.

Apply more toothpaste if dried out or required.

Polish until desired finish is achieved and wipe off with a slightly damp cloth.

Repeat if required.

I will take no responsibility if you try this and over polish or don't cover your sockets and drown your phone in toothpaste.

As with any of these methods, take your time and take care.
[One (M7) General] maladore:
I have a bit of scuff marks near the camera after letting the phone slide on a metal table.

It exposes the shiny aluminum underneath the coating.

Such a lil thing but my eyes are almost always drawn to that singular flaws instead of appreciating the beauty of the design.

But dang ... I would want to at least see a youtube video of the Colgate method before even thinking of doing it.
[One (M7) General] AndrewAmazed:
I'm really interested in doing something like that but is it possible to post pictures of the phone? I want to see how it turned out haha .

Has anyone else had any problems with scuffs to the body of their phone? I've got a few on the front of my black M7 and I'm currently seeing if there is a way to improve the look.
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Google ghost armour, had to buy mine from the USA and ship to the UK, invisible protection for your whole phone without horrible bulky cheap rubber / gel cases, or there is zagg shield, buy 2 and stick one on the back, quite expensive though.
[One (M7) General] Polarbert:
I'm not after that. I want to remove the scuffs completely if possible.

Use a thin case to avoid scratching...obviously lol..

HTC Flip case on black M7 leaves marks

Hi all,

appreciate if anyone has discovered a way to touch up a black m7. I purchased the HTC flip case which has done a brilliant job in protecting the phone (it has been seriously dropped numerous times) but I dropped my keys onto the phone which left a mark on the top right speaker grill. The only problem I have had with the flip is where the phone is retained in the case, the rear of the phone has at some stage got grit/dust in it and this has caused pin pricks through into the aluminium.

The best solution I have found to correct these minor blemishes so far is to use a permanent black marker, but this is not perfect as:

- the marker is slightly shiny

- it rubs off
[One (M7) General] dar87:
How easy does the aluminium back of the HTC One M7 scratch in the pocket? I want to remove and use the phone without a case, but too scared of scratching it. Is it okay to use the phone naked?
[One (M7) General] Arbybear:
It is entirely okay to go caseless. I've had mine for over a year and never bought a case, and I have 2 extremely small scratch marks from dropping it.

[One (M7) General] dar87:
Would it scratch in tight jeans pocket? I tend to commute by crowded public transport.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majes:
Hi all!

I'm on an android phone with 512mb RAM (Samsung galaxy S)

And i've tried with every single rom (From froyo, to Jelly bean) and each one of them gets laggy as HELL after few days of use, even when I try to use the minimum apps installed. Right now, on Gingerbread when I type some text I have to wait almost 30 seconds to see the words i written appearing on the screen! This is the worst case, but normally it takes like 10-30 seconds to open an app.

Is this normal? Is there any solution to this? is this a known error? i've tried EVERYTHING!

Everybody asks for this in every android forum, but there are no really useful answers. Everyone says "wipe cache" "wipe dalvik" "use a task manager" "you haven't got enough ram" "try a slim rom" "use X rom" "you've got too many apps"...none of these answers worked for me.

Can anybody throw some light over this?

Thanks! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There really is not gonna be a sure fix for that short of rebooting. You have a device that is running the bare min to run Android.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Like the previous poster said your phone has the minimum specs nneded these days to run android. Due to this the new android versions will become more laggy with each version. Also try overclocking your phone.

Lol not full AOSP, too much work. There will be a new Sony UI hopefully for the Z by the end of the year. Just bits and pieces that I wanted to mod.

Those icons are SmallWhites2 made by Black Bear Blanc and I used Simple Text from Play Store to make the short cuts.

Making them bigger would make the resolution worst. You'll definitely see the pixels ><

The only way to find out is to try it, I am not on the leaked rom so I cant tell you the differences between that and the official 4.2.2.

move the apk into system/ first

set permission to rw-r-r

then move the apk into system/app/

try that

Hello I installed the xperia lockscreen apk on my zl and it works but only if I had my phone in english.

Is there a way you can fix this? Plisssssss!

:silly:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] LitoNi:
I dont quite understand you.

You used the lockscreen apk i provided and it worked? If it worked, then there shouldnt be any words "slide up or down to unlock" or whatever language it is in on the lockscreen.

or are you saying, you used the lockscreen apk and it worked, but it popped up "slide up or down to unlock" in spanish on the lockscreen?

<--- Download the updated version which is named NEW_Xperia......apk from

OP

Clean Lockscreen v2

UPDATE: I changed some values. From what "I" see, the Lockscreen seems to be more responsive and faster, including loading the camera, animation fade in/out.

I removed the "slide up or down to unlock" message, cause it was too annoying. Simple method couldnt remove it so I took another route

Side Note: If you change language other than English, it "may" cause the text to appear again. So far I have no idea how it can do that, so if you're just using english then it won't appear anymore.

:) Enjoy and you're Welcome.
