As in i hope i do not screw my phone up, it all started when i first laid eyes on the white version of the gs2, i had to have it but since im in the greatest country in the world i knew i would have to shell out another 600$(out of the question). so i hit the webs amazon, ebay and finally i found a website that had the parts to buy. And 125$ later here we GO( joker voice)

all I can say is WOW
Where did you get the parts?
I was in the same boat as OP. However, seeing the demand of the galaxy s2 is still high (especially on my local craigslist), I just decided to sell my black sgs2 and bought a white one. Sold my sgs2 for $550 (could have gone a bit more but i was in a rush to fund the white one) and got a brand new white one for $670 incl taxes. So thats a difference of $120 for getting a bnew authentic white version of the sgs2 without the hassle of ordering parts and doing a little diy.
Nevertheless, this is a great alternative for those wanting to change colours!

Your right it is a great alternative versus shelling out 600 more dollars so to everyone in the market for a color swap I say go for it it was a simple process of taking out one piece and putting it into another piece don't be scared to try it just remember to also change out the speaker lol because even by going this route it's a great way to get an authentic white galaxy s II, now next up all I need is that new 64 gb microsd card it's been tested on the gs2 and it works so my phone is about to be an authentic beast!!!!
Not a fan of the white GS2, but I do think you did a fantastic job with the port. GJ man!
could you provide links to the vids you used for helping you understand which screws to take out and what not to touch ect?
looks amazing btw, great job.
I sold my black i9100 for $629 on eBay 10 days ago and bought the white i9100 for $559 from mobilecityonline and had it the next day..... not only did I not loose money on parts, I made money! And...... my warranty is not void. Not trying to put you down, good for you OP. But there are better ways to go about this I believe.... I own a mobile device/Mac repair shop and do these conversions (or do some like these) everyday... no way I'm tearing apart my baby unless I have to! Congrats though bro, its beautiful!

Yeah I can respect that I also have the evo 3d gsm so I went into it knowing that if I f'd something up then that was on me. As far as warranty goes, it's not like I threw the black parts away if need be they'll go right back on in a heartbeat. I'm a phone geek any way so who knows what phone I'll own in the next couple of months got to many to choose from but that galaxy sII HD sounds very interesting

This is a joke, well i guess it is more like an insult to the intelligence of Nexus One owners, i wonder how many would actually do the "Trade IN".
So for the ones who don't want to read, yeah you get $150 for your nexus one, this sounds worse than what car dealers do.

You can do better - they are going for between $350-$400+ based on condition and original packaging/accessories on eBay.
Am waiting for the new MyTouch HSPA+ to come out. If it is a decent device and not too locked down (although thst will certainly be dealt with here), then and only then would I consider letting go of my Nexus - and certainly not to RS.
Ok buddy!
Does anyone have their customer service email? I would like to write them an email laughing at their ridiculous offer! hahahahahahaha

I'd never sell my n1. The fact that it's pure android with no manufacturer ui, it gets updates the day that they come out, and google basically made it to be rooted, are all priceless features no manufacturer is willing to replicate. The Nexus One is one of a kind for now.
I'm with Rogers here in Canada and hated the fact that AT&T was on the battery cover so I did a little experiment and it worked.
1) Get a Penny
2) Using the Penny slowly scratch off the AT&T Logo and make sure you don't press that hard.
3) Wipe your phone battery cover and now it is debranded and the AT&T Logo is Gone and you're phone is scratch free.
*** Use at your own risk I did it on my Atrix and it's perfect but I take no responsibility and I can't guarantee it won't damage your phone ***
how about a picture?
Can't you just use sugar? That's the safe way, because the sugar breaks down as you go. Saw it on Lifehacker, but here's the direct link:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-remove-Logos-from-your-PDA--cell-phone-wit/
Kind of silly how easy that was... I tried a few things and it seems like the penny idea is the best so far. Have some patience. It eventually "catches" on the ink a bit and once part of it comes off, it's a lot easier to get off. I was able to get it off with my fingernail once I got it chipped a little.
I did the AT&T, HD Video and moto logo. Posting pics in a minute. Camera battery is dead.
Edit: ^ I can't speak for everyone, but I don't have sugar cubes sitting around. Even if I did, the prep for that method would take as long as this did. It's really up to the owner to choose, but having just tried the method described in this thread, I'd have to say there's not reason not to just grab a coin and start rubbing. The hardest part was getting up off my couch to grab a penny lol.

And just so people don't freak out when they try this: Not sure about the OP, but you can barely see where the logos used to be from certain angles in the right lighting. I really, really have to try to see it, but it can be spotted. This might go away in a few days.. time will tell. It was really easy to bring out with the camera for some reason, so here is a shot with that showing up:

Your point? I think most people like debranded phones, especially the types who will be buying atrix's in 6-9 months for 400 or so bucks, which I think is the amount of time folks who debrand on this forum will have the phone.

It's a small thing that makes it look cleaner in my opinion. I'd imagine I can just buy a new cover by the time I might be looking at selling my phone. As mentioned, it might not even be an issue that a buyer would care about anyways.
ahha WOW THANKS OP!
i'm waiting for my AT&T Atrix in the mail right now but i was wondering the EXACT SAME THING for the longessst time!
i personally hate branded phones, and i was gonna see if Motorola sold battery covers on their site just to get an "unbranded" cover, but i will DEF try this penny trick once i get my Atrix
I'm also curious if Bell Canada will release with the Bell branded logo on the cover...
it's coming out next week

Bells phones are never branded and when their phone comes out it will be $599 plus taxes, I paid a little less than that plus I got one now. To be honest I haven't used mine yet I'm still waiting on the unlock code so its just sitting in my closet.

If you are willing to test it, with no warranty asserted by me, try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on what little bit it left. After peeling off the 100+ letters that comprised the name/location of the shady dealer where I bought my car, a few light passes of the eraser removed the faint outline that remained of the letters.
holy crap. that was the easiest case mod I've ever done on a phone. I literally did it in 30sec with the rounded back of my key. My old windows phones (SMT5600 particularly) had their logos on much harder than this thing

Yep , I just did my mod to my atrix ... I love my pretty much unbranded N1 and now I have my atrix right there with it. Left just the moto label and removed all else and the blur added piece.
Did it with a dull key, looks great. No more AT&T, MOTO BLUR, HD Video, or on button logos!
we are all members of this big phone club being galaxy note owners, I'm used to the "that phones too big" comments now having come from a Dell steak 5. (great phone FWIW I would have stuck with Dell had they made a successor to the steak 5)
But what I've noticed lately, if I look at a video on a mates phone, I immediately go to hold it in landscape with both hands and find myself exclaiming "wow you're phone is so small" in a critical tone.
Funny how the tables have turned.
I couldn't go smaller than 5" now

Sorry to say guys, once you start using the Note, there is no way of going back.
I saw the pics of the S3 @ the samsung [email protected] the no border screen....but I'll pass....now I 'll wait for Note 2...the next upgrade...

Just pre-ordered my Note today! Its funny to see how many Streak ex-pats I see here, I recognize a lot of names from the Streak forum. Look what you started, Dell!
Good for Samsung, anyway..
I wonder if the At&t version will be different enough to warrant its own forum..? I hope all of the Roms and mods here will work on our Notes, there are so many compared to the DS5 forums...

I really think Dell missed a trick not bringing the streak 2 to market, I really liked the look and feel of my steak, if they just made streak 2 thinner lighter and faster with a narrower Bezel but kept the same look as the first streak, I would have got one without question.

Streak Ex Pat
Yep Streak Ex Pat here as well... Pre-ordered on Sunday... Gonna have to order a 32 gig micro SD for this one.... Movies stored on the phone as well as from Netflix looked decent on the Streak 5", can't wait to see what they look like on this bad boy!!!! So I'll need the extra room for more movies!!!
Dell shot themselves in the foot period. How does a company justify R&D, then producing an item, then not marketing it? I was reading how Samsung was worried that this would go the same way, but it's like Samsung is already ahead of the curve cause they actually have a commercial for it on TV... Dell had.... SQUAT... NADA, NOTHING... so Samsung will do fine I'm sure... and like the rest of us Dell 5' ex pats, there is NO going back to a smaller screen...
We ex Dell owners won't know how to act with a product that is actually being supported by the company that produced it.. It'll be like "WHAT?!?!? An update OTA from SAMSUNG? WITH THE PROMISED DELIVERY DATE?!?!? or WHAT?!?!?! DJ STEVE DIDN'T PRODUCE THIS VER.?????
Yeah... I'm a little upset with Dell, hope it doesn't show... HA! It was a good product though over all.
I used to be a streak owner too, lol.
Am now waiting for a Note 2.
As for a Streak 2, I don't think there will ever be one, hope I'm wrong though...
If Dell did decide to revive the Streak after seeing the Note do well, I'd still not even consider going back to them UNLESS they were the only option. I couldn't ever trust them to support the product, so Dell can just save their energy. In this economy you'd think you'd want to do all you could to keep your products looking great to attract more customers which in turn helps out your employees, which in turn helps out the economy (big picture w/ out getting too political here)
Hey everyone,
yesterday was a tragic day for me as my beloved Vibrant has fallen off my pockets because of my insecurities of not securing it safely after hanging up on a friend. I was washing my car, my friend decides to call me to and asks me if I can go with him to give him some advice for a new android phone since he's going to be joining in the android family. Unfortunately, after hanging up, I get a broken LCD touch screen phone and he gets a new one. So, without further a doo doo. here it is.

So, any suggestions for phones on a T-Mobile Network?
SGSII
HTC Amaze 4G

Another vibrant for cheap until sgsiii comes out. The ii isn't worth it in my opinion and the amaze isn't so good. Ive never been a fan of hard So no opinion on that.

Yup SGS 3 is supposed to have LTE support with out sacrificing Exynos and that is amazing..
I got the sgsii and regretted it. I should have kept my vibrant untill the 3 well. If you can afford phones whenever u want get the two but if not get another vibrant for 100-120 ans just use that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I would definitely wait until the SGS3 comes out as well... or when it is officially announced at the very least.
you'll find other phones to drop in price by then. personally i wouldn't settle for a "new" phone right now bc they're all generally on the tail end of what the trends have shown
at the very best, you'll end up with a phone that may not be completely LTE capable, a screen's resolution only able to boast up to 960x540, and a battery still in the 1600-1700 mAh range.. seeing that phones in the next few months will all have at least 720p screens, LTE, and better battery life.. i would wait it out
thanks for the input guys. I wanted to wait out for the GSIII to be honest and keep my vibrant till then. Right now I'm using the myTouch 3G/Sapphire I believe... garbage..
I'll wait and see for the GSIII.
I'm the same boat as you bro. I'm using a iphone 3gs while waiting dor the sgs3

If you wanna upgrade on the cheap, I suggest an LG G2X. Dual core, FFC, great support from xda, and its about $225-250 on eBay, and a little bit less on craigslist. This definitely is a great phone with a custom ROM.

wouldn't really call that a reasonable upgrade from the vibrant at that price..
dont mean to bash but having a dual core processor and a FFC for $100+ more over simply replacing a vibrant seems a bit much when a couple months of waiting will provide much greater features for the long haul

Well they were asking about phones like the SGS2 and Amaze, which definitely aren't worth it now. And he's looking for an upgrade, and that would be the most reasonable one, considering the phones ahead. But I can definitely see your point.
I couldn't stand having the Vibrant after I broke it twice. Lol

I went from a vibrant to a sgs2. I don't regret it at all. Sure the sgs3 will be better but honestly it won't be much longer after it comes out, that everyone will be talking about the next big thing. There are some really good devs over there. As some of you know Eugene373 just got a vibrant, plus we have a guy named thederekjay who is making unbelievably good roms and kernels. This phone will be around for a while.

Sorry to hear about your Vibrant. :/ If I were you, I'd wait it out before spending a good amount of money on one of the phones that are currently out. I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy Note (if it came to T-Mobile). SGS3 would definitely be worth the wait, though.

The note would be very cool if it ends up at T-Mobile otherwise I'd wait for the sgs3.

I've never held onto a phone this long there just in my opinion nothing worth early upgrading to. Good luck

I'm actually leaving. As of 3/6/12 my internal SD card is corrupted on my Vibrant. Might disassemble and part out because the screen is perfect. Bought a SGS2 that got "Lost" in the mail..... that is a $350 hit as of now. It is SO ridiculous, the post office said they delivered it so they are washing their hands of the situation. I have spent hours between EBAY PAYPAL and USPS and it does not look good for me . Funny thing is just try to get ahold of EBAY customer service. I only got through after calling PAYPAL directly and then they transferred me to someone at EBAY. Have just bought a spanking new Galaxy Nexus with signature verification through FedEx so we will see about the funny business that may come with this most recent purchase.
Deal on the T-Mobile version: $79.99 unlocked, factory recert.

Holy Crap! I finally got the phone today after a 16 day wait and let me tell you, this phone is in TERRIBLE condition. It literally looks like it was dragged across the concrete, front and back! I cant believe that any company would try to pass this POS off as "refurbished". I'm curious to know other's experiences with these people.
Refurbished only means that they are returned to the manufacturer/vendor and tested for defects, then sold (if functioning), no matter how used it looks. At least you can rest assured that it works properly
Yeah, mine has a few dings on it too. Nothing too bad. Ordered a cheap case for it and screen protectors. It's my backup phone anyways. Why pay every month for insurance and still have to pay a deductible? I'm usually extremely careful with my phones anyway. Just in the off chance the worst happens, then I have the N1 to fall back on.
EDIT: Added pics. Minor chips on the metal frame up near the top and a couple of faint scratches on the screen.

Can't wait to see how terrifying it looks, if at all.

I got my two. One I'm very happy with ; think it's the OLED version, and it's pretty darn clean, the other I think is LCD and is kinda rough. Going to call them about it. Spot on LCD, big gouge on bottom, fair amount of rash. Without the spot on the LCD itself (a washed out splotchy pixel group, not the glass) I'd be ok with it, but that's too much.
Finally came in.
Two little nicks on the bottom, one little scratch mark along the aluminum bar on the back and that's it.
The screen looks damn near perfect and I can't even feel the few nicks on the bottom.
Won't turn on yet, but the little orange light is lit up so I assume it just needs some juice.

if you buy a nexus one, always buy a new one. old nexus ones(especially OLED) versions have issues with pixels burning out and that is really unrecoverable. you will just kinda see a "status bar" on the top. if you buy a new one you won't have a problem. LCD ones don't have any problem
if you do buy a refurbished and or old n1, then hope for dear life that it is the SLCD version you bought because OLED is GOING TO HAVE SCREEN ISSUES.
I bought a refurbished OLED version. screen was a mess! returned it. bought a refurbished SLCD version . worked great. using it as my daily driver until i save enough money to get an even better phone(probably next year if the world doesn't end in 2 weeks)

Where can you find a new one for At&t, been looking around for a bit with no luck. Just some used ones that are pretty beat up.
Try Amazon

I bought mine used off a member of this site, will be 3 years old in April and there are absolutely no signs of screen burn in at all. It is amoled and appears to have had a very hard life, but it still functions perfectly. I don't regret the $110 or so I spent on it, which included the dock and an extra OEM battery. I've gotten 6 months out of so far, even the power button still works perfect. I wouldn't pay the price of a new phone unless I was getting something more up to date.
I got bought mine used on ebay but it looks like new.
