So the "Beatsaudio" logo can be rubbed off with non-acetone nail polish remover, and not damage the phone at all.
I'm just wondering, can the "Verizon 4GLTE" logo be rubbed off, or is it etched? Anyone willing to try?
Before you call me crazy, here's a photo of a Sprint HTC One with the "Beatsaudio" logo rubbed off. The Sprint HTC One does not have a "Sprint" logo so it was never there to begin with.
I think it is...sexy...naked...ooooh.
I dont want to be the guinea pig but you can clearly feel that these logos are screen printed on or something and not etched, so I would assume they could come off.
Go to best buy and try it on theirs...

it will come off..
cleanly though, another story, I agree though, would love to ridit.
It feels similar to the Beats print, so I assume it could be removed similarly. Not willing to try on my own device, though. A non-clear case will cover it right up, anyway.
Try Goof off. It wont harm the aluminum(as long as thats what it is and it isnt coated) and it should get rid of the logo's just dont get it on the screen and be careful with it. This stuff will melt plastic(slowly), so dont get it on anything plastic. Just put it on a paper towel and wipe it off(if it will). If it will come off, it will start to smear....then you know it will. Just slowly get it off by using more goof off a little bit at a time.
Well thats my idea. I take no responsibility for any harm done to your device! LOL
I definitely won't be trying it on my shiney new One, but I will admit that is SEXXXY without the logos on the back.
I must be one of the only people who don't care about things like this...

It feels like the VeriSign logos will begin to rub off and get scratched on all their own with time. I'm not willing to try it yet either but feels and looks plausible lol

Some people do, some people don't. I wouldn't say that I care that it's there, it doesn't affect the way the phone works, but if it's removable, I'll remove it. I removed the badges/emblems from my car and truck, because I think they look better without them. Same sort of thing with the Verizon 4G LTE logo. It's just a preference.
I'll take the chance and try it once I get my One and will update everyone on the method I used and photos.

From what I read, people used non acetone nail polish remover. I know for sure it removes the 'beatsaudio' but not sure if it will remove the Verizon logo.
I'd try it but I haven't got my One yet
well we already KNOW that the beats audio logo can come off. just need to find out what gets the vzw one off. Will doing this ruin my warranty that I bought from squaretrade though? I'd love a clean back but not at the expense of zero backup plan...

The side where? On the screen, the front bezel, the battery cover?? If its on the case of the phone somewhere i suppose you could find replacement parts online and swap all the internals if you were so inclined. If the screen itself is scratched, other than some hair brained schemes like blow torches and sand paper i would say you are stuck with the scratch. The good news is a decent screen protector film should disguise anything other than a major disfiguring.

I had people bring back phones that had water damage. Half our managers would say take it back and the other half would think about it and then may or may not do it. If he just got it yesterday he could reason that it was too easy to scratch since it is supposed to have gorilla glass. I've returned more with less reason because the customer was nice.

You don't really have to do either one, but if you are trying to swap it in store I would, and you have to have a reason other than the scratch. If you are using GSBTP you need to break something on it so they'll send it off. If you use GSBTP you don't need to unroot because that doesn't matter.

would it be bad if you just swap it out saying you actually want the blue one but buy the screen protector to hide the scratch, and then a couple days later just go back and switch to a new white one saying you actually preferred the white one to the blue one?

i always wait until the remorse period is over to root. Just in case. It usually takes that long for stock firmware to show up anyways.
I Odin'd MDL back and everything went back to stock. I got my warranty back and they exchanged it. Actually the girl didn't even check anything I just told her I had overheating problems, the screen had smearing issues in the settings when brightness was low and that it wasnt reading my micro SD card although I know its not the s4.

It may not be the Digitizer. This phone has had a lot of abuse hurled at it by various members of Toddler class. It has time and again proved to be solid.
Just to rule on hardware or software issue, can you comment on if there are any other issues except display ? Also did the 2 year old threw on hard concrete or carpet ?

Well just about 25% of the status bar is black as well as part of the screen. I'm sure rebooting the device or doing a factory reset isn't going to fix it.
But hey let's see. Supamike88 boot into recovery and see if the issue with the display is present there. To get into recovery press and hold volume up, home button and the power button and release them when the phone vibrates and you see blue text in the upper left corner of the screen (which in this case you might not see because of the screen). Is the issue still present?
You could do a factory reset to see if it fixes the screen, just back up everything before doing so.

If the screen is black but the phone still works, then its most likely the digitizer like I pointed out earlier.
You can buy a new digitizer and replace it, but its not really recommended. You might as well get another S3.
You could also just sell it for parts and try to get another S3. (I wouldn't recommend this unless you can do a factory reset).

Good for you. Please note, when you get the new device back, carefully read the label behind the battery. You may get SGH-T999L instead of existing SGH-T999. The L stands for LTE. If that happens, you will be in luck. But need to understand its not the same device but rather newer version.

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

Nice! I never got a chance to own an OG because I ended up with my Note but still followed this forum because I like the device. Maybe you can give OP some pointers

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13180768&retainProdsInSession=1&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Definitely get with the glass. If you get a fingerprint or dust under the whole thing wont work.

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
