Hey people,
I know many have had this dilema of cleaning the white HTC One X from jeans but I have a slightly more complicated issue.
I bought a case as soon as I ordered my HOX a while back and have taken it off for the first time... only to realise that the case has left quite a fair bit of blackness on the back cover. I cannot remove it using water or a Macbook cleaning kit.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to approach this?

Thanks for the tip but I don't have meth spirits ><
I always use eraser or cajuput oil. I dont know if cajuput oil is available in your country. But its really works!

I had the same problem, my Crumena leather pouch pretty much ruined the back side(and it wasn't cheap either) and nothing worked except 70% alcohol and a paper tissue. It took some rubbing. You can still see that is not 100% clean at a certain angle but it's not as bad as it used to be.

Did you use meth alcohol?
It's from a pharmacy so I'd say it's rubbing alcohol. And it expired over a year ago, but it got the job done! It's still a bit dirty around the beats audio logo but that's just because I don't wan't to ruin it so I didn't clean near that area.
Oh wow...glad I got the grey one now.

If I wanted to use that I would buy the uglier version and not the white one. I knew exactly what to expect with the white phone, I'm not an idiot, I just didn't like the other colour at all.

So... I loosened my grip on my Vision while it was on my palm. And it slipped... It did two flips an plop, more like thud in slow motion, onto the tennis court. Yes I took my phone out while doing some tennis warmups. Stupid I know, but I was admiring it. (I got it just recently). Anyway, It did no damage, except a little tiny nick, hardly noticeably on the edge. But if you look closely, it's there. So I was wondering. Is it possible to sand it off or something?
Exact same happened to me just yesterday, except on the top-right.
I'm not too worried because there's always the possibility of a case, but yeah I'd like to know if I can sand it.
Very fine grit (180ish) and go with the grain of the brushed finish. Let us know how it turns out!
Ermmm anymore suggestions or agreement of the sanding w/ 180?
1) You can go ahead and sand it if you want, but you'll just take the paint off and then it'll look REALLY weird.
2) there is no grain. Its not made of wood, and it wasn't brush painted. It was sprayed.
Same thing happened to me. I tried sanding it and it made it look worst, as it takes the paint off. Maybe you could try finding a replacement bezel.
What are half the guys above talking about taking the paint off... its not painted on the metal parts... that's metal... not painted plastic or metal.... its a clear coating... either sprayed or adhesively layed on in the factory

Not to be argumentative, but itis just a clear coat, someones already taken the clear coat off.

Mine started peeling like that, too. I always keep it in a pocket by itself. I "fixed" it by polishing off all the clear coat with a scotch brite pad, moving up and down only to leave the nice brushed look intact.

Tape/Mask off screen area and use a Magic Eraser (which is a micro abrasive) on the scratched edge...might take a while but it should help to blend it nicely.

Hmmm that sounds like a good idea? Anyone agree with that?

Clever! I do love magic eraser. Should work better than sandpaper. Like he said, keep it off the screen.
Yeah just mask off the screen and rubberized plastic parts

I would suggest a nice sturdy case when you get it back to how you want it...especially if your gonna take it to the courts, lol! I got an otterbox.
Haha well once my case gets here (its a clear oem case off ebay from the inexpensive case forum) ill try the magic eraser trick. Hopefully, all goes well. If not, I may just cry.

eh -- all image and no substance.
the good stuff is in the phone not on the phone.
wear it like a well oiled baseball mitt.... would you rather play with a well broken in glove that never loses a ball, or a nice shiny stiff glove just for looks?
that scratch looks soooooo small... and the g2 has such sex appeal it dazzles the ladies and blinds them and they cannot see past the aura.
It is brushed aluminum. Brushed means aluminum that has been sanded to creat a flat non shiny finish. 180 grit is too coarse. Yes for the first pass at the deep scratches. I would suggest finishing with 320 grit 400 is a little too fine. Get the black sandpaper, it's called wet and dry. it is superior for fine detail work. Use the blue masking tape and tape off first, to protect.
A friend of mine told me about this and I had to test it.
First we applied water to my battery's white water indictor tab. It turned pink.
We then tried hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide turned the indicator bright, bright red.
Finally we applied a bit of bleach and it turned right back to white.
Here's another tip... Apply a bit of scotch tape over the white tab whenever you get a new device to keep them nice and shiney.
lol this is too funny!
i was doing something special to my batteries lastnight and had the urge... i had to...
lick the indicator.. i couldnt resist. took a good minute and a big gob of spit to turn pink....
i like the bleach trick!!...

Wait, maybe that's the explination right there!
I've heard that some phones have several of these indicators on them. The battery compartment being one of them.
Now THIS is some useful information
thanks for posting!
Also works on Iphone 3G indicators
Huh??
I'm really surprised that no one has asked this but, WTF are you guys smokin' that makes you want to lick batteries...

Cool trick. I hope everyone uses this honestly though! I'd hate to see people buying water damaged, bleached stickered phones!

I've seen like BS happen where the phone was on the counter in a bathroom while the shower was on and the steam moisture caused it to go RED. Things like that where you no damn well there is no water damage and that the sticker false positived the situation...
Thats a high humidity environment.... humidity causes water damage too.

you need to figure tho, water damage is quite apparent on any electronic advice. According to ATT they said if there are any signs of water damage (shorts) they can get you
MY VERY FIRST OP
Just thought i would share this with the community. It's called high performance carbon fiber vinyl. The great thing is that it does not leave any adhesive residue. I just slowly, carefully tailored it with a razor blade on top of the original battery cover. A blow dryer made the vinyl much more "compliant" and flexible. Hope you like it. I'm trying to do it with white carbon fiber vinyl next. Please let me know what you think...

If you're using the 3m di-noc variant, it's practically bulletproof. The 3m material isn't even vinyl, it's pvc, which is why it's so damn durable. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on anything I want to keep looking nice. The look isn't for everyone though. And depending on how tight/small the corners need to be, it might not be a good fit.
Because the battery cover of the t989 is textured, the vinyl does not stick very well. like I previously mentioned, I used a blow dryer to make it stick much much better. I also have it in a clear hard/soft silicone gel skin so it should last pretty much forever.
Also if you like this mod or it inspired you to try something similar please hit the thank you button...

White CF would look nice.
I will be ordering the white soon... kinda expensive... but when I am done I will show it to you...
Actually I plan on doing a white conversion for my wife... I am looking into purchasing the equipment to cut the skin for the face... I will report back soon...
For the Vibrant i know they had a white sticker you could put on the front. Sounds cheap i know but it looked pretty slick. The only thing i noticed was a small ridge around the face of the phone however that was kinda nice also for operating the phone without looking.

Thing is that this is only a sticker and unless you can get the sticker to fold under the edge of the battery cover and have the battery cover sit properly.. the stick will just peel up.

just man up, don't use toooooo much solution and pat dry...
make sure you take out the battery and DON"T put it back in after as the phone will reboot.
just install and wait over night with cool air blowing over it.
i know it will be tough not to touch your new toy, but without US warranty work, not worth it.

The solution they have dries really quickly, they added some substance it in, so even if the tiniest bit gets in there, you shouldn't worry too much, unless you spill the whole bottle in there lol

Does it go right to the edges of the screen?
I got one ordered this weekend hopefully arriving soon.
How difficult was the application? I'm not too keen on wet application (Zagg, ugh) but is it pretty much drench, lay it on the screen and shift to center ASAP? Past experience with Zaggs, I've usually had to lay it perfectly on the first try since I wouldn't be able to shift it around afterwards.
FYI, "byublue", as mentioned earlier, takes $3 off, which is slightly better than 20%.

I'm assuming all wet applications should be the same, which means that your experience with zagg will be similar with xo.
You wouldn't be able to shift it around after its applied. However, you can peel it upwards, apply some more liquid, then place it back down
Did that with my skinomi, had no problem with it, should work with all wet screen protectors
Got mine today and applied it tonight. It was my first wet application, and it was WAY easier than the (dry-apply) SGP Crystal I had on my Dinc.
It goes very close to the edge of the screen.
No orange peel
No rainbow effect
As I said before... highly recommended

Not at all its slick
So I've never done a wet install. Basically I get as much of the liquid out as possible and then wait overnight for it to settle?
I don't think people realize that, sure even though your device isn't damaged from the liquid solution that may or may have leaked into the phone. BUT it probably set off the water damage sticker inside voiding your warranty.
That's the biggest fear for most people including myself.

When i first got my HTC one x, i decided to directly put on a cover/case (Capdase Silicon) so the phone was protected. After a few weeks of usage i removed the case and i discovered that the backside of my one X was all "spotty". The casing had been rubbing the back of my phone in different spots all over - unevenly. Its like the matt finish was gone in some places. This made the phone look kinda ugly and dirty (although it was clean).
One day i was going to clean my camera-lens (it had gotten somewhat scratchy) so i took some Displex Display polish and started to rub with a soft cloth. By curiosity i started to rub the entire back of the phone and i saw that the spots disappeared after a while and the back of my phone quickly started to look smooth and shiny compared to the matt finish i had before. So now after like 30 minutes of rubbing and cleaning i have a shiny brand-new looking back, and the phone is much less "slippy" than before, so its much harder to drop now.
If someone want to make their phone look more shiny and make it harder for it to slip out of their hands i really recommend Displex.
Its just a tip i wanted to share. I have been searching the web for someone who also got spots from their silicon case and how to remove them, but no luck.
Regards!

I'll just make them a link like this.
***EDIT***
Looks like they only show in google chrome. But you can still click the link and see them no matter what browser.

Crap, I whip the case off mine and give it a wipe down quite regularly
Hate the dust build up you get around the open part of the case.
Yeah i really like the finish. I really recommend doing this.

waw so strange so it remains soft touch and grippy but looses the matt?
anyway mine is slowly degrading so I'm sure it will get there eventually lol
Less slippery?
What kind of "less slippery" will it get? Like sticky or what?
... and a bit off-topic: does anybody know how the dust gets under the screen - or how to remove it when it has gotten there?

Im not sure if you are being sarcastic or what you even mean, but yeah it looses the matt soft feeling and feels more shiny and harder to drop. Im sure you can imagine the feeling. Imagine that youre stroking the Galaxy SIII on the back, feels very similar.
anyone else tried this on the white variant?
I love the Matt finish, this i what makes it sooo good to hold in comparison to plastic toy called SGSIII.
I am not trying this.
