It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?
What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.
first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.
The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.
No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?

This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol
If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.
no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"

Will Sylicon case make scratches on my xda II? specially the black sylicon case? i am just wondering if the color black will of the case will stick to xda II? and wodering cuz the sylicon case is just like a rubber and can make a scratches on it? anyone tried?
if you mean this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484
then no it dont rub off on the xda2 leaving discolouring
and scratches ?
i really fail to see how something as soft as silicon or rubber for that matter should be able to scratch something as hard as the xda2

It looks same with member "flywhc" (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484) but mine is capdase and to him is pdaden i think. will this be ok?
yeah i think it's the same one as i got
i had no problems with mine
apart from the fact that if you take your xda2 out of it too often
to sync i think it'll beging to break in the silicone
not a problem for me since i sync using bluetooth

How about heat? Can silicone absorb the heat? My XDA II gets hot whenever I use a wall charger compared to cradle or usb wire.
never had head issues dont really use it much anymore as being taken out to fit in the cradle kinda killed it in the long run
but my pda dont get hot when i charge it
someone painted his/her one s with a marker yet?
and whats the outcome does it look good or is it noticeable that it's painted?

Marker leave a slight discolouration as the ink a little shinier than the dull finish of the phone, but it isn't really noticeable unless you see it in bright light. But the problem is, markers wear off really quickly. Even an industrial strength oil and waterproof ink I tried.
I've tried satin black car scratch repair ink, looks better than the ink if applied nicely, but, it also wears off.
Yeah, I tried marker too, looked ok for a day or so, but it wore off again pretty quickly.
I wonder how easy it would be to take off ALL the MAO coating and have an awesome silver phone

Any better ideas?
The idea has been mentioned somewhere, guess the general forum. Apparently this has been done on the Sensation, looks really nice imho
Pull off the frame and sandpaper it, teardown instructions: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...=&feature=player_embedded&v=b0jGY2N2h1U&gl=SE please do it now and post results!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
It has been done on the HD2 battery cover as well, carefully sanded and polished to a near mirror finish. I suspect that was steel though, isn't the One S aluminum?
I was 90% joking; the One S is aluminium which will just rust to a dull grey colour, right? Plus, easy as it seems to get small but noticeable chips in the MAO covering, I think getting the lot off would require some serious effort. Maybe 6 months down the line when my phone really looks like cr*p, but right now it is still doable with the occasional application of black marker!
Yup its aluminium, will look a bit Mad Max I guess especially if not done with a lot of effort
Hello everyone,
I have this awesome case, however, the one issue I have with it is that the kickstand on it makes standing the phone up while charging impossible, because the charging port faces down.
Has anyone ever modded this? Or anyone know how to get the kickstand off so I can reverse it without causing too much damage?
I've looked inside and out, but there's no screws or any mounting type of hardware.... wonder if it's welded or glued?
This drives me nuts too, but I doubt you're going to be able to modify it without cutting into the rubber. A bummer for sure.
Best feeling/looking case but that does kinda suck

I sent Seidio an email, let's see if they reply with any helpful info.
Well, they weren't much help, but they were very nice.
But.......... SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!! I decided to go for it.

1. take a small screwdriver to the back and pry off the black coating, you can remove it. Yes, this breaks the seal (and voids your warranty), but now you can access the entire metal assembly of the kickstand.
2. Then you flip it.
3. Install the hardcase back onto the rubber case that's on the phone (you don't need to seal it back up, cos it fits perfectly, though, you definitely can affix something to the back if you really want), and VOILA! Kickstand phone is charging!
Awesome! Thanks for taking the risk for the rest of us Will definitely be doing this.
Nice.
Now my only complaint is that the stand makes phone sit funny.
Been living with by propping it up and can continue to do so, just a slight annoyance of a other wise good case.

DEFINATELY HELPFUL !!! the same reason i didn't buy this case .. now i might give it a go
This is the sweetest case around. I will be trying this mod, now......
Awesome thanks for this. Been wanting to do the same thing for a while now.

Today the glue filled into the C that is engraved in the back of the phone came out. I'm kinda an HTC fanboy so this left me pretty upset.... My camera lens is also really scratched up. Has anyone dealt with this issue and how was it handled?

Someone else mentioned this happening. HTC offered to fix the phone which meant the owner would be without the device for ~10 days. You may look into seeing if VZW will swap it out.

Slickwraps sells lens protectors, but that's probably a moot point since it's already scratched. However, buying some protection might help prevent further damage.
Is there any safe product that won't destroy the phone, but can be used to drop a couple of drops where the broken corner glass is to prevent the glass from further breaking and seal the phone. I was thinking paint, but are those toxics going to maybe eat the plastic under the rear glass and possibly damage seals and other things if the fumes enter the phone. There has to be a way to apply something, and it down and polish it to show minimal damage if there is no way to replace the rear glass.
Just before I had the chance to get a case, I dropped it. From reaching out my pocket it slips. My attempt to catch it slowed it down, but I'm shocked how weak, let me repeat, WEAK AS FUUUUK pixel 2 is. Every spot it touched, looks like it got dropped on. Because it hit the back and then flipped like a fish onto the screen which caused scratches on screen and frame.
The damage is:
11 screen scratches.
View from the front shows upper right scratch and lower right.
From back upper left. Right side is cracked and crack line runs across to camera side.

Anyone? Just need something that's going to harden but that it won't have fumes going inside the phone breaking apart internal glue and other seals.

Did you check how much it'll cost to fix it? And without pictures it's hard to make any suggestions

I saw there is a replacement glass available recently. I'd still rather try to fix the small crack. Just a drop or two of something that will bond to the crack seems the way to go. Easy to do, keep the phones water resistance.
