Colorware Replacement Shell

What do y'all think? Let's have a contest to see who can design the best looking color scheme. It's obviously a lot of personal preference, but I think I'm kind of digging the black/white scheme...
Frame = White
Back = Black
Bottom = Black
Camera = Either White or Ferrari Red

how do you install that?
edit: nevermind. no way i'm sending in my phone, waiting for them to receive it, waiting another 3 weeks for it back.

Maybe, if they can clean out the dust under my screen.

a little professional spray paint and prep and you can do this for a lot less than sending it in.
I plan on painting mine completely black.

This is amazing. wow.

lmfao at $800 for a brand new one! and good luck dealing with warranty issues through them.

Would love to have an all matte black nexus, but how is someone supposed to last without their phone for 3 weeks. By the way did anyone notice that rush delivery which still takes a week is an additional $500. That is just insane.

I really want to get this done but the 3 weeks would be tough, not to mention the $200. I do still have my sweet sweet ADP1 (G1) to use for those three weeks but going back to the G1 after using the N1 is pretty tough.

That is one of the biggest issues with Colorware IMHO, I could almost get myself to pay their crazy prices as they really do amazing, high quality work but the turnaround time is just out of control.
At this point it seems that they are just catering to the part of the market that has the money to either buy right from them or just buy a second device to send in.

Black and White FTW!

Has any one actually been brave enough to order this yet?
I'd love to hear/read some opinions on this.

A lot of blackberry users have used them and have nothing but good things to say about their work. Basically you pay for the quality and it's worth it...

Oops, let me rephrase that
Has any one with a Nexus One actually been brave enough to order this yet?
I'd love to hear/read some opinions on this.
Since many of us spent the full $500+ on our phones, shipping it off and waiting a few weeks to very it backs, seems a little scary, that's all.

I would say there isn't anything to be afraid of. This is a very reputable company that has been around for quite some time. I think anyone would be safe sending their phone to them...

I think I'm going to send my phone in soon. I can handle playing with my G1 for 3 weeks. I just can't decide what color to get. Maybe just all matte black or all matte white. I'm just worried the all white will look to Apple-y.

I like the all matte black look, but all matte black and a color on the camera looks kind of cool too.
Update us on how long it really takes to get your phone back, when I sent in an ipod a few years ago I am pretty sure it only took about a week and a half from the time they got it to the time they shipped it back.

Wish i could just buy the case ... i would put it on myself . i should have all the tools... i cant believe they dont offer that

Definitely tempting. I almost wish i had some huge scratch or something that would justify me purchasing it.

VZW - Bolt to Charge (Was Worth a Try!)

Good times! Just for fun I thought I'd call VZW and see if we could swap out the HTC for the Charge given all the ridiculous radio issues. I even went as far to say that the rebooting based on the new update was just the final straw. I'm at day 31 I think. As predicted they said now.
I had to play off like I had lost the phone and couldn't find it when they were asking for my software version! XDA saved the day! I logged on and said, "The 605.7 #?" haha.
I'm a little disappointed with the way this phone has been handled. This topic is probably a waste of time but I wouldn't mind seeing if others gave it a try...

What are these ridiculous radio issues you speak of? The VZ network issues would be trouble for the Charge as well.
I for one think the Thunderbolt is top notch build wise. 4g - LTE is still in it's infancy. The Charge looks to be another cheaper plastic Sammy product that I would never trade for IMHO.

The charge has a wonderful screen.. and a slightly superior battery life.. other than that... I don't think it stacks up to the TB in terms of build quality and aesthetics. I hate the chamfered corners on the bottom.. yuck!

I only have 4G coverage at my work. Regardless of radio I'm constantly cycling between 4G, 3G, Analog, and then no data. I've had to turn off 4G entirely to get any sort of reliable connection.

I have a thunderbolt and I love it. I don't understand the love for the build quality. The charge looks clean an hell and yes it uses a plastic back, but thunderbolt probably the worst build quality phone I have tried in a while. The phone feels like it was slapped together in a hurry. The whole phone squeaks all the time when I press to clean the screen, feels like the sides are going to break. The light leaking from the bottom seal, no I am not talking about looking at it from top. I dont have it but I have seen plenty of people including one of my friends have that problem.
Radio issues are all at verizon's end, you can blame big red for not getting their act together, I still dont get good 4g at my house even though I am in the dead center of coverage. I do however get great 4g everywhere else I am suppose to get 4g.
I think charge has very good build quality.
Thunderbolt a good phone but not so great build quality. Stand peeling off, Light leaking through the bottom edge, screen is not flushed against the sides, I had water get in on top while trying to install zag screen protector but it only got behind the verizon logo and didn't get on the screen.
I look at the evo, the screen looks like it blends in with the body of the phone alot better than it does with the thunderbolt. Few of my friends have it, the glass quality used on the evo looks much superior than the thunderbolt.

My Thunderbolt has none of those issues. Coming from the Atrix its a tank in the best possible way.

I wouldnt switch for the Charge. The thunderbolt to me is damn near perfect. Plus I would never get a Samsung phone due to their lack of actually caring about a phone for more than a week.

You are about 17 days passed the return policy, you definitely weren't gonna get a free swap to a more expensive phone no matter how much u complained. The most they would have done is replaced ur current one under warranty. Lol

I know... But if you don't ask you'll never know. I bought this phone using my sister's upgrade since she couldn't afford it. Plan is to use my upgrade once the Galaxy S II comes out and give this to her at that point.

Makes the Thunderbolt with it's extended battery look freaking beautiful. I actually burst out laughing when I saw those pics. I can't believe people will actually pay money to carry that ugly phone around...I mean...DAMN it's ugly before the extended battery, but in those pics it's hideous

Man all this talk about the tb's build quality is really hard to understand for me. I love the quality and if it werent for wanting to keep my phones in good condition. I would rock it without a case to show it off. Shes a beauty.
I paid full retail for mine the day it launched and since then i have been able to sleep at night. Even with that ugly charge from a non supportive manufacturer being announced. And it does look uglier with extended battery. I didn't think it could look uglier. Coming from 4 years of RIM brainwash im more than happy with my ThunderBolt.

Oh my god that's awful.

I've heard of a butterface before, but the Charge is an "everything butterface" of the phone world. Egads, it looks like one of those concept cars you look at and hope they never actually make.
I do hope Samsung starts making phones with excellent build quality because it will benefit us all if we have more alternatives, but until they do I don't think I'll own another one.

no sure I agree with you man the TB feels solid to me Ive tried the charge and it felt dinky and at any moment was gonna break love the build style of the TB. All of this could also be that i am HTC fan boy so ya. the light leaks ya Ive noticed it doesn't bother me to much.
curse you so i went and re looked at the phone and ya i can see where ur coming from still love the phone.

I like the look of the extended battery, I have grown fond of it using it on my Thunderbolt...so this won't be a big change on the Droid Charge

Are you looking at the same pictures as I am? That makes the thunderbolt extended battery look beautiful.

Id happily take a charge over my TB if the Charge actually worked as advertised.
Ive tired of the tbolt's fail. Can barely use the thing with Android System eating all the CPU and battery..
Ill try to make due until the day that the bionic gets here.. whenever that might be..

Wow, that is the ugliest phone I think ive ever seen. That extended battery is just ridiculous.

Anything i need to know?

Hey, I just bought this phone, I can't wait for it to arrive, but i just wanted to ask is there anything i need to know?? Any bad issues with this phone? I am going to root and install a custom rom at some point in the near future (if i get round to it).
I'm so excited at this phone is a huge upgrade for me... my last phone was the LG GT540

No issuses with phone othe than speaker not loud as my old phone which I's due to 2.3 which can be fixed once you flash.a custom rom don't keep it stock flash and enjoy cause there's some.really good roms out there that help battery last longer and make the phone prettier to look at. I like coredroid roms but theres also nice rooms that don't use sense ui which was nice to just youtube stuff.

Bluetooth sucks. Its a design flaw, don't expect good bt performance with this phone. Other than that its great.

For me, and I've heard from others, there is really only 2 things that bother me.
1.) My phone squeaks when you squeeze the bottom part, no idea why.. it's 100% brand new few days old.
2.) When unlocking by moving the ring up, I usually have to touch and drag it 3 times or so until it finally moves...
Otherwise the phone is awesome! The battery can get very hot while gaming though, you can really feel it, I rooted my phone, and it's overclocked so when I play a game for 10+ mins it gets so hot it almost feels like im touching a metal pole that has been in 100 degree heat for an hour.
Please hit thanks if I helped you! Just takes a click

It'll always happen as the case is separate from the phone itself. Mine creaks but I really couldn't care less

Mine doesn't creak nearly as much as it used to. So far I have no problems. I did notice the smallest amount of dust particles under the screen but it's literally almost impossible to see. However some people have posted some truly terrible pictures on here showing a crazy amount of dust.
This really is a superb phone.

First off, this is a good phone. But, unfortunately there is a couple of things wrong with it
I have come in direct contact with 5 different Sensations. Here's my experiences:
1. One of them had dust under the screen - I believe this is not an issue with new Sensations.
2. Two had a lousy power button - It becomes too soft and hard to press on some models. Lousy build quality there.
3. Two had the touchscreen issue - This is a serious one, but we have it fixed here on XDA... For the most part. Again, build quality?
4. Three creaked when pressed - My 5 year old nokia felt better under pressure. This is fixable with a larger battery.
5. Screens varied significantly - Don't know which screen I'd pick... Some had better viewing angles, some better contrast, or sharpness, or whatever...
6. Sense lagged more than I'd like on all of them - Maybe I want the impossible? No lag on my 1.5Ghz while scrolling through home screens? :|
7. WiFi death grip - I can live with this one.
I probably went into more detail than I should... Sorry
It's a good phone for the most part. I just expected way more from HTC (and for my money) and now I'm a bit disappointed...

This phone is complete garbage.

I started off with the One and didn't like it because my phones looked like this http://s16.postimg.org/rz4843lud/image.png
Like seriously I went through 3 of them and they were all like that, so I told my network I wasn't happy and I wanted to get a GS4 instead because I knew the build quality would be great.
So I did that and waited for the GS4 to come out and got my phone the other day and oh look another faulty phone. This time with the GS4 I have crazy ghosting issues and a pink tint of the screen, to top that off I have 3/4 dead pixels on the screen. Only now I'm out of exchanges and cannot exchange the phone again, even though I've had 4 faulty phones in a frigging row. Like are phones getting worse or something because this is the first time I've had any trouble. This isn't my picture but this is what my screen looks like at the bottom... http://i.imgur.com/9jhVEnr.jpg
On top of that though the phone has major problems elsewhere.
- I cannot install to Micro SD, like wtf? When did this change? I always could on my last Android phone a couple years ago. There is like 8GB internal on this phone that I can use, it's stupid, I've already filled it up with apps. The One had 29GB usable, so much better and the phone is cheaper too but there is only a 16gb version of the GS4 and it's way more expensive as well. In my mind Micro SD is made useless if I cannot install to it as everything else is on like Play or my pictures are automatically uploaded or video is all streamed now from stuff like Netflix etc etc.
- The loudspeaker is crap, they've made no effort with it, it's worse than my last phone and way worse than the One.
- The camera is crap, the FoV is too narrow, the shutter speed is too slow, no OIS, everything in the video is way too shaky and every picture is over saturated like mad. Like every picture looks like a cartoon and no settings I try is changing that, if you zoom into a picture it looks so stupid. The mics are just ****e, the audio quality is so bad, Samsung have made no attempt to improve them what so ever, good luck recording loud sounds because you cannot...
- Touchwiz is worse than ever, I mean I used to like it when it was based on GB, it was really nice and actually improved Android back then. Now however it's a bloated mess with far too many menus and nothing is where you expect to find it. If I'm trying to turn sensor features on and off for example, you think you've turned one on but it's not working, you have to then go through sub menus to find the one option that is off under that sensor menu. It's laid out so badly, it looks really bad now, so out dated and it lags quite often as a result. The worst thing of all is how much space it takes up....
Apart from the phone feeling so nice in the hand and being well made on the whole, I just cannot see any good qualities. I mean I wish I stuck with the One now, even with the Speaker grills coming off, the phone still manages to be way better. Sadly now I cannot have another exchange and go back and I doubt anyone wants to buy a GS4 with a crap screen. My only option left is just to complain to my Network and refuse to pay them until it is sorted because 4 faulty phones in a row is not acceptable IMO.

Post ur picture first. I dobt know why people come here with other peoples problem making it theirs and bash the devices they cant get.

dead pixels? I have never seen an amoled screen with dead pixels, can you post a pic?
not saying I don't believe it, but that's just VERY rare
I'm hoping the screen issues are fixed soon by OTA or by the XDA members
install to micro SD... well... where have you been living for the past two years? lol
(there's another way though, check out FolderMount by a fellow XDA member)
loudspeakers, yeah true. not that it matters that much, to me at least. maybe samsung feels the same. they are good enough.
camera, I agree with the FOV. the rest can be improved over time with software, that's what XDA's for.
touchwiz, that's completely subjective. I kinda like it. even though I will be changing it, just because I like to make the phone my own.
advantages over the one?
1.9GHz, AMOLED display, bigger screen, removable (and bigger) battery, micro SD slot, air view (which will be supported by CM from what I've read!!), etc...
you know, there is no perfect phone. it's just up to you to choose which phone's downsides you'd rather live with.
I'm no samsung fan boy, but the S4 is just the phone I want. I can still see why people would chose the One, but I wouldn't.

Sorry but I've got to laugh.

And honestly, seems like a troll - intentional or otherwise. Assuming that you are not trolling and is serious, get a replacement because I'm fairly sure that you've got a defective unit. Also post a picture of your screen because we'd all see to see that "miracle" unit.

Call Samsung and tell them the deal, they will correct it.

We get it, you don't like the phone, plenty do but you don't - so what do you expect the XDA community to do for you? Sell it or return it and buy something else, that's how things work in life, or were you hoping for someone to drop around, pick it up and morph it to something that's more suitable? Yeah really...

If the HTC Ones were deemed as faulty by your provider and the S4 is deemed the same, there is no reason why you cant get many many replacements.
Its only if your right to refund/replacement is 'cos I dont like the phone' does the issue of running out of replacements become an issue.
TBH, Ive said before, and I will say again, I think people can be a little too over critical of devices that have gaps or apparent 'faults'. Its only due to forums like this that things get noticed. I can see a very slight pink tinge on my screen but been honest, I doubt if I would of seen that if I didnt know others had reported it.
My S4, as did the Note II before it, seems to be ok build wise.

I owned S3 since it begin shipped. Now I own s4 and have to say that, loudspeaker is much better than s3. I don't know how one's speaker but I am happy with s4's.

The S4 is actually a very good phone all the gesture features etc are very good, sound qaulity in audio is fantastic and loud too, phone looks and feels great,
however I do agree that 8gb internal sucks the not being able to transfer apps doesnt really bother me much, he FoV in camera does suck and so does video audio, especially when compared to my HTC one.
Overall it is a better phone than the HTC one but itsnt worth nearly £90 - £110 more (carphone and phones 4 u) and I will be getting one when the price drops from £580/600.

Get to see what Samsung do because my Network wants nothing to do with it, tbh don't want to deal with them anymore if this is how I get treated. Those gaps on the HTC One weren't off by a little bit, they were slowly lifting up more and more, you could push them in, clearly not glued properly. Why should I settle for a poorly built device? Lock into a contract for 2 years, just not good enough. All three HTC Ones had dead and bright pixels anyways, like had 5+ each but they were so small you couldn't see them unless you turned brightness to full.
Anyways considering my screen looks like that and has massive ghosting issues, exactly like what other people have posted, it's my right to have it changed. I didn't use my pictures because it wasn't coming out on my camera, that image though shows exactly what it looks like much better than any of my shots. I obviously have a GS4 because I compared the camera to the One and the 808 in another post and you can obviously tell from the FoV.

I think this thread has run its course... closing it before the real trolling starts

Worst luck ever...

I have the worst luck ever! Just got my S4 and after opening i noticed some dirt on the home key. After i tried to get it off i found out its actually scratches and small holes like if has got stuck under a machine or something. To make it worse there is also a small dent on the lower right side.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Dent is the bright point on lower right side
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Luckily i order this one from the web so we can return it without fuss (i would hate to have a phone with scratches on day 1, usually i never drop my phones and keep them top shape, i'm a perfectionist hehe) but i been waiting for ages for this phone so i couldnt take it any more and went out and bought one from the store and gambled this one is without scratches as far as i can see. Hopefully no hardware error but lets see by tomorrow hehe
I have had really bad luck with phone as of late, my last S3 had hardware problem and kept rebooting right out of box so i had to exchange it. Hope the circle is broken now. Any way just wanted to let of some steam here

yea but sending most devices back they require it to be in mint condition and if its not you get charged full retail for it so i wouldnt send it back

Unlucky. I'm very happy I have no issues at all with screen parts or physical build, except for a battery that seems to drain too quickly (yes most everything is off, and no, it's not the media server bug).
I would take it back. New products are supposed to look new, not used or abused.

I feel ya, my S4 came with yellow tint. Had to exchange it and still received a yellow-tinted screen. Refunded.

Totally, considering the cost (i pay cash) its not acceptable to have such obvious problems. The more people send back these phones the better they try to raise the quality bar i think. Its aweful to get a bad screen to, good that you refunded it.
For me the battery is pretty amazing so far, i charged it full and played with it like 40 minue using map, web, 4G, wlan etc and its at 96% so its far better than what my S3.
Will keep playing with all the new features feel like Christmas
One thing i dont like is Google Play downloads like 40 apps and put them under the apps. I use to have them well organized in maps. Wish they could fix it so that it restores it as it use to be on older phone.

Return it back .......im sure u will get new one ...
