Logo

This is something that everyone wishes.
A logoLESS SGS.
When you look at this Logoless ATT Captivate, the unbelievable beauty of the logo-less screen will make you want to kill yourself trying to remove the logos.
I do realize that there was already another thread about this. BUT, it's dead.
Since I am currently working in a science lab, I have nearly all chemical available that can dissolve the logos. But, before I can try that, I need to tear down all the components out except the screen. So, I looked into this SGS Tear down Guide.
One thing that I realized is that I won't be able to tear down the screen. Or will i be able to? (please prove me that I am wrong so I will tear down that and try to find a method to dissolve or grind the logos away)
[Touch sensor + AMOLED technology screen ish thing seem to be sticked to the glass]
I have been trying to devise methods that would allow me to complete the mod.Now, it seems to be there is only one option, marking it with marker?
BUT do you guys have better suggestion?
Thanks for reading.

Revival of the Thread
I've been thinking and thinking, since we cannot permanently 'erase' the logo, why not do something temporary?
Initially, I was thinking about the properties of color. There wouldn't be any color if light is not presence. If so, we just have to block the light reflecting the logo. We might be able to use the same film from the car tinted windows, 0% transparency. How does this sound?
Thank you for all your support,
let's make it happen!

Wow, that **** looks HOT!
I like how the screen blends with the rest of the device. You can't tell where the screen starts or ends!

Exactly. MY POINT!
We need ANY suggestion suggestion suggestion from ANYONE.
This would be the BEST mod EVER for Captivate.

Wow!
If you find a way... PLEASE tell us.

At this point, I just need someone to prove me that the backing of the screen is detachable without any damage.
Once I have the confirmation, I will be using acetone to dissolve the logos.

Be careful to use the least amount of acetone as possible or avoid it all together since acetone eats away plastics.

Thanks for the advise,
btw does anyone know if the logo is imprinted on the top or beneath the screen?

Most likely it will be underneath the glass. That's how it is on my Tilt 2/Touch Pro2.

well if it is above the glass that would make things simple no wouldn't it =P
anyways I highly doubt you can separate the digitizer and superamoled screen since it has two new technologies in it. You will most likely be damaging the screen if you attempted to pry it apart. >.>
I suggest you wait about a month before you attempt this since the galaxy s isn't even released and therefore digitizers aren't up for sale either

+ 1 to this endeavor. Keep us posted.

Without the logo it kind of reminds me of a slightly smaller version of the Dell Streak. What do you guys think? That would be one sexy mod but i doubt it will be possible since the digitizer and the LCD screen are infused in Super AMOLED technology.

I was at Tmobile's store checking out the Vibrant.
I couldn't tell whether or not the logo is on top or below the screen.
Any suggestions?
{keep in mind that captivate + vibrant should be similar in which how they print the logo}

i suppose run your nail over it and see if it catches... unfortunately its most likely under .

I just bought the phone from the store.
It doesn't seem like it's catching any thing :[
But we need another confirmation from someone else as the logo might b too deep down into the glass? or too thin for me to feel it with my nails?

Congrats on your new phone! share ur experience and joy with us

I believe removing the logo will be impossible. I have noticed two types of logos from the more modern phones I have dismantled:
1. Logo is on underside, a layer of white/silver ink that has had black painted over the top; removing the logo would require removing the black first, seems like a bad idea.
2. Logo is on underside, the logo is not so much an extra layer of ink, but a lack thereof. The logo section is clear, showing the metal frame through the black area. Impossible to remove, rather, you would have to fill it in.
I believe the captivate is the first option. On another note, I think it is further impossible due to the fact that Super AMOLED displays have the air removed from between the layers of the glass/digitizer/display; this is what makes them so thin. You would have to replace the whole display unit with a logoless one. Just my thoughts, I would be happy to be proven wrong

The screen is definitely popping like everyone saying it.
I'm so glad that I made this choice as oppose to vibrant / international model.
I was looking at a vibrant demo and i hated the form factor.
One thing i'm pretty everyone will like a LOT is the battery casing lol.
It seems like it's metal (not sure) and the way you open it is AMAZING.
Once again, my phone is still locked to ATT, and I have t mobile as my carrier. I had been paying around and find an unlock code for the phone but this one company hasn't been able to find the unlock code for it... so yeah i'm pretty limited into usage right now.

Just got home with mine and the logo doesn't catch on my fingernail and all I can feel is the glass. I do believe that it's printed on the inside.

thanks for all the confirmation guys. Its unfortunate that it wont be an easy removal, but judging by the high interest in having this unbranded im sure someone will prevail. I'll try it myself as soon as replacement parts become available.

Please read the original post, it's been revived as stated.

Project Pluto V2.

Hello Everyone. I am here today to talk to you about Project Pluto.
This is a small update, I have been working with anodized aluminum for a little while and i found that it scratches a bit too often.
That is why I made some design changes, the top and bot of the phone are still dark grey aluminum but the center is composed of the glass in the front and a soft touch material that wraps around the device.
This soft touch material in a bit higher (0.5-1mm) than the aluminum so that when laid on a desk the aluminum does not touch the surface.
The main advantages that this design has is the high durability, better grip and a removable back cover which can lead to a replaceable battery if spares are available.
​
Please leave feedback bellow, I want to make something that people will enjoy using.
Disclaimer FCC and CE logos are for demonstration purposes only.

I think this is a great idea maybe you should start a kickstarter page. I would love a phone designed by fans for fans and not just for profit (although i'm sure there would be some)
Also don't forget Micro SD

Nice looking piece of hardware.

Looks like a radio... No offense, just stating what I see.

Up to 32 gig SD Card, forgot to put it in the specs info. The plan is to ask for funding on kickstarter after a few prototypes are ready,
Funding is needed to buy the parts for the first batch of phones and also for the FCC approval process if it is needed.
And yes, the goal is for this to be a 5 person project, so profits are going to be low.

Hey if you get a page up and you have a prototype or two I'd be in i love the idea and I would imagine it would be nexus like with updates
And I bet once this becomes farther along you will have a lot of support from on here.
The look of it reminds me of the N9
Also as someone who is right handed having the power button on the left makes it slightly awkward to reach.

When the kickstarter page is up I'll be sure to send you a message,
The design looks a bit n9y and a bit like the old ipod nanos. and some iphone thrown in there.
Also the lock button is on the right, initially the picture of it was supposed to be on top of the "back picture" but it looked weird on Photoshop.
The lock button is on the right, basically the same place the iPhone has it.

I like the phone. Great specs. What is your target date

My personal change list
-Add a little more room to top and bottom and put on a front facing camera
-Round the edges on the top and bottom as well you don't want when people grip the phone for them to have sharp edges and the bottom corners
Also about the power button
-Ohh ok sorry when i was looking at it it looked reversed
Also what kind of screen? i know the resolution but what kind of material for the screen

Front Facing camera, like NFC can not be added for 2 reasons, thickness. the current one is 11.5mm thick already, and price, the current specs are already quite expensive. a ffc would add another 12 dollars in manufacturing costs. and could not be done with the company we are looking to partner with.
the top and bottom don't feel like hard edges because of the sides are rounded. I've tried many ways to round it but I cannot find a way in which it works well and doesn't look stupid. If you find a way draw it and ill add to the design and see if people like it
The screen is regular amoled with qhd resolution

It doesnt necessarily have to run Android, it is the most supported open source OS.
but the hardware will be open, meaning someone could port meego or tizen to it.

Ahh ok well the FFC and NFC aren't necessities but they would be cool yet i can understand where you are coming from it seems like the cost for the phone itself would be close to the selling price. Also good to know that the edges aren't to rough and are slightly rounded.
Is it possible to get a size comparison between this phone and maybe one or two other ones to give us an idea on what the size of it will be
Ps ohhhh i was hoping for amoled

Way to close looking to the N9/Lumia 800

The back reminds be too much of a radio really with how the speaker grill is designed and the bland back. Plus the object protruding out of the top reminds me of an antenna unless that is simply a arrow.
If you are going for a minimalistic style then you've kept on tune. Just simply not my style.

The smartphone of the future - how should it look like?

From my early years I was trying to create the ideal design of a phone. But then Steve Jobs ruined all my illusions with totally changing the path evolution of smartphones. But you can't stop the progress, and the smartphone of the future must blow up our minds as much as iPhone did. But how must it look and which functions must it be capable of?

These points with me :
1. Let's forgot the battery
2. Update hardware with OTA
3. No Chinese pirated app stores ...

IPhone really was a PDA without a pen - but if it is so easy figure out the usability of such a product why nobody did?
And look here: there are a few models with pen on the market and the most - without. I think this is the confirmation of my words. (Nevertheless, I like Android more then iPhone)
10 posts - yes, you were right. But my comments and posts can not be supposed as "spam" - I am trying to write useful staff,

Nobody did it because the touch screens weren't very good at registering fingers at the time, and the PDA was for the professional user to keep notes, not the general population.
Apple improved the screen to register fingertips (which it still didn't always do very well. You couldn't write on it for sh*t, and half the time it didn't register a touch.), but a single step improvement is by no means mindblowing. There were plenty of computer displays that already used tip-touchscreens; you found them in shops, factories... Apple just made the screen smaller.
What was mindblowing about Apple's launch of the iPhone was their exceptional marketing strategy. As much as I dislike their products (and their sheer lack of service), I have nothing but respect for their marketing team.
Yes, you weren't spamming. But making posts for the sake of getting posts, even if they're useful, is frowned upon; you're supposed to get your first 10 posts by helping others.
I also very much like the idea of foldable displays, but only if we can get them truly foldable. Imagine, your entire computer on a flexible sheet of plastic? You could stick it in your wallet, and then fold it out to 22"! I would so love that. With the contact lenses, of course (have you seen Continuum? think of the contact lenses like the CMR in that.. )

A screen that may be able to flex does not mean it would be able to fold nor will the other components such as the battery, motherboard or case.

Remember how massive the old computers were? You needed a truck to house 100KB. Hard to imagine we can stuff 128GB into a thumb-sized piece of plastic when you look back at that. They can store TB's on plastic tape.
And when Quantum Computing finally kicks off, we'll stop thinking about physical size altogether, because we'll be talking about nano technology.

No-one have followed suit, if Android manufacturers are changing the ratio from 16:9 that's to compensate for on-screen buttons.

Kingston have fitted 1TB onto a thumb drive, well to be fair it's about a double thumb drive.
Quantum computing is a far way away though and it's very unclear what it'll do for personal computing. It'll be king for decryption and similar, if it can be utilized for graphics we'll see pretty much unlimited graphics where software will be the bottleneck. (Imagine coding a graphic engine for a quantum computer). Exciting stuff though.

not sure how much kilos but my daugther always steps on it and thinks that its like something to step on. and she always throws it here and there. i has gone through a lot of throwing. it even landed face first on solid concrete from lets say 20". (not to imagine it was thrown really hard). but not a single dent/crack whatsoever. really happy with it for now. its handling the brutal day to day life. lol
btw, mine has a back case. and the lower/upper side of the phone is completely unprotected. and it has a screen protector that wasn't cheap and that the guy that sold it to me when i bought the phone said it is genuine stuff. lol

It depends on how it fell and if it was face down or face up. Pretty sure it was fave down in the dirt. The dirt probably soften the hit and the back of the phone is straight plastic

My Nexus 6 concept - What do you think?

Hi,
I created a little concept about the successor of the Nexus 5. Maybe its called Nexus 6 or Nexus 5 (2014).
Rumors say that it will have a 5.5" display so I decided to build this in my concept. Its just a 2D render, not a 3D or something.
I were really amazed that this 5.5" display fits in a body which is just a few millimeters larger than the one of the Nexus 5. I compared the two.
So final question: What do you think about my concept?

looks nice but a bezel that thin would give you random touches on the side when trying to hold the device

Perhaps making the device thicker by a mm or two would prevent the random touches you mention.
Would also mean a larger (higher capacity) battery could be installed.
Though the almost bezel-less design, when used with a protective case/bumper may cause issues with screen edge touches.
k-c

Nice to hear your opinions :thumbup:

For those bezels they might have to move the buttons to the back ala LG G2/3. I like it though.

The bezel is too small, and the fact that the bottom has a different shape to the top really annoys me. Like the speaker grille though.

No bezel barely will mean bigger cases would be overlapping the screen space. Not good. For marks, or using pie or sidebars.

I like it! Never did care for Bezels...they sux's!

Do any of you guys realize and/or think about the implications of razor thin bezels? Disregarding the issue of the digitizer registering touches simply by holding the device, there are physical/engineering issues to consider. The screen has to be held within some type of housing, not just to protect the screen but the rest of the phone itself, and the bezels on your mockup are less than 1 mm thick. Exactly what type of material do you envision the housing to be made of? Even aluminum wouldn't have enough strength at under a single mm thick. Titanium? What do you think that would do to the price of the phone?
So, to achieve bezels like this would require either a significant increase in cost or a significant reduction in durability, and this is on top of the compromise in usability. And for what purpose? Exactly what is gained from having such thin bezels?
Lastly, and not to sound like an ass, but wouldn't it be better to think up something new and/or innovative instead of just marching down road obvious? Seriously... larger screen, thinner bezels? Let me guess, you see it being a 4k resolution screen too... for no other reason than just because.

I'm sure the OP isn't actually designing it.
The makers know what works. And regardless..... Most things point to no more nexus phones anyway. ?

I'm not a graphics designer or somewhat else and I'm not familiar with building phones so that was just a try how I thought it could look.
Nevertheless many thanks for your opinions and comments.

David Burke from Google officially announced that there will be Nexus phones in the future.

Did you see that come from his lips?
Otherwise just yet another rumor.

It looks really nice. I would not think twice to buy

Looks like an HTC..i don't like these big screen on the modern smartphone, 5" are the best size for me!

Hi,
I created a little concept about the successor of the Nexus 5. Maybe its called Nexus 6 or Nexus 5 (2014).
Rumors say that it will have a 5.5" display so I decided to build this in my concept. Its just a 2D render, not a 3D or something.
I were really amazed that this 5.5" display fits in a body which is just a few millimeters larger than the one of the Nexus 5. I compared the two.
So final question: What do you think about my concept?
