Develop Bugs

Silver Speaker MOD Proof! Your Welcome! Happy New Year

Alright for everyone that wondered and to prove I'm a man of my word plus I cant develop too well I thought I'd give back to the community so here it is and enjoy!
Steps: just scratch the hell outta your speaker. I used an old hinting knife. No I don't hunt I live in the suburbs of DC.
Credit to xSaint who has a thread here so I knew about this.
Well that's it I hope I have given something to the community that I can be recognized for haha jk but it does look pretty bad ass! Will put my pics up in a minute my I didn't know i couldn't upload them from my phone.
EDIT: see third post for pics! and thanks to the devs for all your hard work in making these phones worth keeping forever!

YeH. We did this on the mesmerize GS and it did look pretty cool. It gives a little contrast to the upper part of the phone.

well couldn't get it in original so i just made another post with the pics

OMG your poor phone. Maybe a using a razor would have made it come out looking clean? You can. Always take black nail polis and make it black again. Or hobby model paint...
And you DEFINATELY gave something back to the XDA community to remember you buy. Its ok man. I slaughtered my HTC Evo 4g also. We all make mistakes. Ill take a picture and upload it to take the heat off you

Just so the op isn't alone.
A self-portrait, so not even good quality.
I may take some silver polish to it later.

Here is my Evo 4g that i took a razor blade to the corners and scratched all the black off so the red undercoating was visible. Oh i didnt have any place to take the photo in my room so i just took it on my girlfriend who was too busy watching senior citizen flash mod you tube video's on her GSII to even notice lol

Well if you guys live around northern va shoot me a PM. I'm a tech for sprint so I can change the housing or anything on your phone if need it. I guess a lot of people got offended by my post of this but I'm glad there's still people out there that aren't all about bashing. Opinions opinions

Well i personally think its awesome you did it. Like i said i went for the leap my self and razored my evo. From about 5ft away it looks awesome, but up close you could see it was not lookin so hot. What i was trying to say about the paint is you can go around the edges with the nail pollish or hobby paint and tiuch it up EVER so slightly and it would take out the MINOR defects. Idk back in the day mt dad did model cars and stuff. Seems like kids and younge adults these days dont physically mod things so much. I love doing so though. You only live once right? Besides we alk get the latest and greatest phones to start fresh with every year or 2. Cruckus man, i may just bust out my shinny new razor soon and give it a shot. The idea is sweet brother

Yea i thought it was cool I saw someone ask for someone to do it so I said "what the hey I'll do it" I was bored but I don't think it looks that bad it looks better then the cracked screens that some people have!

Not to be rude, but is this really your definition of an "awesome look"?:
I mean, this looks like something a kid would do to his phone when he was bored in d-hall or something.
If someone did THAT to my phone, we would definitely be "going outside" to settle things, know what I mean?
It's kinda awful.

Doesn't look as bad when done carefully and neat ... but i see your point
To each his own I guess ... I like the way it did mine .. not a scratch anywhere on the glass took me an hour with a razor blade and some scotch tape

I think it looks pretty cool from far away when using my phone normally it doesn't look bad its when you get real close but who stares into an earpiece? It's like people who buy ripped jeans some think its dumb others think it looks cool. I also said I did it with an old hunting knife because I don't have a razor blade. I'm sure someone can do it better then me.

Just a note, its surrounded by Gorilla Glass, so unless you're really wrenching on the blade this isn't too intensive of a project.

Nuff said.
So it looks good to everyone else, but looks like crap to the owner of the phone?
Sorry, but you're doing it wrong.

Yup, was just about to reply to what you. haha but they have these kind of watches already. They sell a lot on eBay and some are good. Its just Bluetooth paired so you don't have to take out your phone. Makes you look like inspector gadget. Plus, I think thinkgeek.com has some too. I like the shirt that lets you know when wifi is near and how strong of signal.

Every shipping date they've previously stated has been missed. Although they seem to be quite insistent that they will start shipping "soon". They haven't told any personal customers any actual shipping dates. But Expansys seem to think that they'll be able to sell some from mid-April.
I wouldn't hold your breath.

Maybe before you give other people punctuation lessons, you should learn to spell. ANYHOW is one word.....just saying.

The site was updated this april and the price is now 340 € from where it was 300€ before too mich expensive. But the problem isno body had recieved yet. They promise to send the watches a year ago..

I saw a preview of this watch and OS looks sluggish with android 1.6...2.3 would of been better. The Motorola ACTV watch looked way smoother, and it's rooted already i think lol..

Couldn't this be easily accomplished with apps on the iphone and, say, an ipod nano?

any update on this watch?

why would you do all that on a tiny ass screen? a watch is a watch and leave it at that.
you will always carry a phone anyway so all those things u do on your watch is irrelevant

If they have to open it to apply it, it would.

When I watched the demo at CES they stated they do not need to open the device. They put the phone into a machine that released a 'fog' which spreads through the phone which waterproofs it.

looks neat and if you are one of those people dropping $40 on a case you probably wouldnt mind dropping the $60ish it looks like it costs. I'll be considering this.

How do water damage indicators work with this?

No way that's a real woman sitting in that chair. She got splashed and didn't say a word?! Isn't this the same thing they have a t Best Buys. There's a big jar full of water with an iphone sitting at the bottom.

Thanks for the update, they have yet to respond to any of my e-mail inquires about it and as far as I can tell Hz0 only deals with OEMs, I can't wait.
Can't wait to freak people out by using my Cell Phone as an underwater camera @ the pool lol.

Galaxy S III on Liquipel
Liquipel is now offering the Level II Slosh & Slip Protection option for the Galaxy S III
Not really happy that it's only Level II, but my phone is on the way.

I wish with this kind of technology, phone manufacturers would just add this to their manufacturing processes. obviously no one would because it would be higher cost and less revenue from non covered accidental damage.... Sigh

Good luck with that... This isn't designed so you can take your phone in the pool. Read the faqs and disclaimers.

Looks like the site was updated for the same price as everything else the s3 get "slap proofed" very disappointed and looking for alternatives.

Liquipel...
I got Liquipel on my iPhone 4 back in June and it’s saved it from getting destroyed at least three times. I even dropped it in a bubbling jacuzzi and it survived. I’ve been a believer ever since. You can’t tell anything has been done to it either, it comes back all clean in a nice metal container with a microfiber pouch. None of the water sensor stickers changed color when it got wet so even if it fails I can get a new phone on Apple. All in all I’d say its worth the $59. You no longer have to worry about losing a phone over a spilled drink or a little rain. Just makes you feel good.
Liquipel is going to be at CES again this year can’t wait to check out the show, I hear rumors of a machine doing free treatments at the show. :good:

Has any found a good Privacy Screen?

I'm looking for a quality privacy screen for my s3. Any one out there have a good one or know of a good one.

I had a 3M one for my Incredible, it was PERFECT! Did exactly what I needed to, to stop nearby lookers peaking at my screen! All my friends would always comment "how are you able to look at your screen because its so dark!", and I'd show them and they'd be amazed. Sensitivity was never an issue, and the protector was very smooth, not like the other cheap brands you see on eBay and Amazon.
Def well worth it, I'm just waiting for them to release it too. I actually emailed them today asking when they'll be available for purchase. Hopefully soon. Will keep ya updated.

why diminish the screen quality with this. im sure 99.9% of the populating wouldn't give a crap what you are doing on your phone. lol..

In reality, some people are nosey and some people are not. Just as some people are more private then others.
Thats the whole point of privacy screens. They are not for everyone.
They may not be for you, but no reason to come off as a **** about it.
At my workplace? People are super nosey...

Hi there, the device has some curvature that can develop if you sit on it, put it in your pocket, and through normal wear and tear. And if it's within our manufacturing tolerance, then it's okay. It should lie fairly flat.

Not at all bro. I compromised and am having them just send me a case. I get what the problem is and the price to send another one is a lot more then just sending a case to hide the imperfection lol. I'd like to see a Nextbit 2 but if people continue to send them in as a defect then that cost you guys money so I get it and am good to go! Being a business man I understand how things work haha. As I've stated before I own a media service and advertising company and see things like this constantly and see how it can bring a new company down! I'd rather work with then against! This phone is amazing point blank. No reason to cost you more money to semd a new phone when this one is good. I originally just thought it might be the battery but after researching and watching some videos realized it's just the plastic from the heat of the chip!
