Cool idea! Easy way to make SGS look like Nexus S

Hi,
Just had a sweet idea. Not sure if anyone has tried this yet? Looking at the Nexus S, the front is all black, i.e. no Samsung branding.
I was wondering if we were to take a standard screen protector, and put a small black patch or color a small area black somehow on the adhesive side, then line this up to cover the Samsung logo the front of the device will look all black.
The area only needs to be ~0.5 cm high/2cm long to cover the logo.
Does anyone think this will work or will it look gash? Haven't tried it yet, only collateral damage if it doesn't work would be a screen protector though I guess...

Could work. But why would you want that ;/?. I can understand about themes and stuff but why cover the samsung logo on the front ;/

Yeah... then after hiding the logo try bending the screen and block the sd-card slot with balsa wood and super glue and you will have an awesome phone... hehe...

Ho damn.

We should also find a way to downgrade bluetooth from 3.0 to 2.1. And eliminating the radio will not be easy task.

May or may not work.. I dont really see the point though, the Samsung logo is not ugly or overly present. Also, it wouldnt make it look like a Nexus S, it would just make it look even more like an iPhone 3G

Also stop recording in 720p and adding a flash LOL

Don't forget Gingerbread theme! If you do every of the downgrade advices you will get a Nexus S. Amazing!

Ok ok.... just thought it would be interesting, heaps of reviewers have commented on how mean the front looks when the device is just sitting there with screen off... kinda ominous.
Can't be ar$ed trying it tho, was hoping someone else would

To get the bend I could use heat right? You think a hair dryer would do it?

Might work..if not...a blow torch should B-)

Nah... What I´ve heard it has a tendency to FC. Better not overheat it. Try putting it on your fattest relatives chair during a family dinner or something (the screen is sturdy as we all know). Ideal would be if you knew one of those guys who bends the bananas before they are transported to the stores... sadly, most of them have been hired by samsung and moved to Korea...
HD-video recording should be disabled using nr2 sandpaper on the camera lens.
bluetooth 3.0 I havent thought about beacause non of my friends have as good taste as I when it comes to android devices, due to this I dont think I have ever used bluetooth on my sgs and I might add that I preordered it...

Be careful: HTC One X - Broken screen

Hey Guys..
Just alittle warning. I dropped my Htc one x from my pocket as i was walking on the street and as you see the glass broke. I am somewhat disappointed, I expected that it could withstand the impact, but no.
Further, i was informed by 3 differnt repair shops that it is impossible to get it repaired because there are no parts made ​​for the phone yet.
One of the guys told me that htc not prioritize this particularly high.
Well i had a nice week with it tho

Ah man that's a real shame I dropped my Desire countless times over the 2 years I had it and it ended up with a 4mm long hairline scratch on the screen. I guess it's the price you pay for the curved glass - less protection round the edges.

Yea i guess i was unlucky. But im back on my old desire now hehe

Might have been alight if you had a case on it.
John.

ouch that makes me take a sharp intake of breath feel your pain bud I'd be gutted

yes the metal ring is not flushed with the glass, glass corners are extruding a bit over the protective frame
style over function, people
i have a pouch but now im thinking of a case, beats the point however

dude seeing that makes me even more protective off my baby now...feel your pain buddy..hope it served you well get a replacement...tell that your dog was playing with it and dropped it
seriously though sorry dude

this wont protect the glass still

feel your pain son

By the damage it looks like it hit the side, that case will protect against that, he said he wanted something stylish and light.
I have ordered a white version of the case below, it should give good all-round protection including the camera, and give fantastic grip from all those nobbles.

you can use bubble wrap for now

This hurts.. I thought The Gorilla Glass 2 would make it nearly unbreakable ...

Its funny how people get jealous of what i get paid to do.
PS. this phone was purchased outright for our own personal use. This was not a review unit nor was it given to us. if you had any common sense you might realize that companies will not give you a phone just for you to smash it into pieces.

Ouch!

Personal use.....droptest .....common sense..
Really should i answer.
Review units....thats a unit a big company GIVES a reviewer to test.
There has been several

Why did I watch this!!! I've dropped every phone I've ever owned and I know what I've got in store now

Screen protector - don't be ignorant to think gorilla glass is unbreakable - YouTube will show you many breaks.
Gorilla glass is awesome, but not unbreakable.

Does a screen protector stop it from smashing face down then, I dont see how it could?
A case yeah, but not a stick on thing surely?

I do reviews for a site and we have a very close relationship with both Samsung and HTC and the word they always use is never "GIVE" it is always "LOAN" and with that they always make use promise that the device will be returned in perfect working order. If it is damaged in anyway the reviewer has to pay for it.

galaxy s2 also has gorilla glass and it really IS UNBREAKABLE(nw I think i should'nt had sold mine )

I really wish the one x was built like my desire HD, dropped that so many times and its been perfectly pristine without a case
Would a case protect the screen though?
I'm so scared of breaking the screen now :/

Mirror-style screen protector for Galaxy Y

To Philippine (Filipino) members here, Could you tell me where to buy the Mirror-style screen protector for Galaxy Y, because my classmate has a Mirror-style screen protector for Galaxy Y and it looks cool when she show it to me, she said it's also good for Anti-peek but I forgot to ask where to buy these protectors for Galaxy Y because they look cool and if someone is already using it, please tell your experience (brightness, under the sun etc.) . Thanks.

i hate the mirror screen protectors,
we have it here in cebu for 150 same costs as the clear and matte types,
i'd use the clear since it looks cleaner,
anti-peek is good too especially if you want to watch pr0n without anyone noticing

Not good when your'e using outdoors during daytime . You won't see anything on the device.

You can find it on Selected Samsung Stores like in the Mall of Asia ones, A Matte screen protector for Galaxy Y for P 150 , Others deal it with P 200, no way! too expensive and just same from the Matte ones from the Samsung Stores.

Thanks for your feedback !, So I think, Matte is still the good ones to purchase but sometimes when my hands gets sweat, The touch keys won't work so for that, I recommend the clear ones .

Super CARE for the screen as its still doesn't have any kind of hidden scratches etc. except for the back cover which looks ugly because I used a scotch brite to clean it, But It's covered with a Jelly Case so it's a bit of invisible

also here in Manila, but if the store sells it for P 200 as some stores (gray markets) do that, then no way !, Get the ones from Samsung Store. That's overpriced.

nope, its just a test to see if its really that strong

Wonder if it's actually the screen protector that's really strong or just the glass that actually holds up to the gorilla glass name though.
Btw, that looks like an S4
