R.I.P HTC Fuze

Hello Everyone, Today I was riding my bike on such a beautiful day, i was listening to my music, i had it in my case and when i was crossing the street the phone had fallen on the road, i went to turn around to get it but i was too late, a freaking car had rolled it up. its a shame ive only had this phone for 3 months and i managed to screw it up, first time this has ever happened, i always baby my phones and this happens, it sucks so much and im so pissed. the funny thing is everything still works except the screen, so i was able to use my mobiler to see what i was doing on the phone so i could backup everything, hopefully i should be able to get a new one though

our thoughts will be with u and ur phone.
hopefully u will find a new phone soon.

sorry about your loss, was it insured?

Damn that sucks, I would be sick to my stomach.
No offense to your personal preferences, but I can't understand why people use cases. Just about everyone I know that uses a case, has had their phone fall out or they drop it while taking it out of the case. My buddy even had his phone pick-pocketed while in a bar. They bumped into him and unlatched the case, kind of funny though.
I just put my phones in a pants pocket all by themselves.

Aww man, that sucks. RIP

Same here. In the pocket, screen towards leg.
I've had all four of my HTC devices survive that way

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Can we see some pics?

My God MAN!!! Have you no Soul!!! Guy's just lost a loved one and you want to feed your voyeristic hunger with PICTURES!!!??
Remember...all good phones go to heaven.
Edit: Would be interesting to view pictures so we can learn from this experience . That way, we can learn to safeguard our phones from faulty cases, asphalt and, oh yeah, Priuses.

Uh huh, you couldn't resist either huh?

damn that sucks... i feel for ya and your poor poor phone...

Well I Took Some Pics of the Aftermath. Here are the Graphic Images

Ouch!
I had this nightmare scenario occur to me as I jumped on my bike to ride to the office. (finally warm here - even just for 2 days)
I put mine in a holster on my backpack (www.chromebags.com)...and only listen to music with one ear of my Discovery 855.

sorry to hear that, i too was riding because of the amazing weather, i was using the htc audio dongle which got ran over too but survived

OMG!!! lol...I can't look!!!!

Damn so sad lol.... not even the Invisible Shield could have prevented this!
Bahhh best of luck with your next one!

haha hopefully i should get a replacement soon, but ya if i do i will get a much better case, i wish i could get a bulletproof case for this thing, the funny thing is the screen was what got rolled up first and it did not crack whatsoever, the motherboard, camera, keyboard, sim card + memory card slot, speaker and all the buttons still work, the lcd has no cracks just a pressure mark. that touch screen is tough.

I know it is some serious wishfull thinking but have you opened the thing up and make sure your ribbon cable connecting the screen top half hasn't just been pull apart from the bottom half? Looks like the phone twisted pretty much around the slidin rails (understandably), but if everything works ok except you have no screen at all, I would be opening it up and checking the ribon cables. I have seen a service manual floating around somewhere, can't remember if it was here, but it gave instructions on openning the Raphael up

i have opened it up, i put it back together, but the thing was i didnt know how to take out the lcd panel so that i could see the wiring on that, the lcd cable attached to the motherboard was tightly connected. i basically got almost everything out of the lcd assembly except the lcd itself. the wire itself looks perfectly fine. its all good though, i will have a parts phone, i should hopefully be getting a free replacement soon

yesterday in class my teacher literally took my phones from my hands when i was texting. i thought she woudl just keep it til after class
(this is college mind you)
she then walked to the window and tossed it out. i was in shock i didnt even know how to react
luckily it was grass and no damage but still what the hell do you do in that situation

The Samsung 4G Naked: Side by Side in the Nude with the Vibrant

Good Evening,
After taking the 4G apart several times I decided I would take pictures to highlight the few differences. Some noticeable differences:
1) antenna placement on the board, matching contact placement different on the back housing underside
2) the connector for the headset is different and the ribbon is labeled T959V (model # for the 4G)
3) less memory which can be seen thru the software
4) the GPS still sucks and does not work on this one
5) maybe I received a defective unit but there is an overheating issue. the 4G uses 200ma more than the vibrant but maybe the phone or the charger is defective as it keeps overheating and with time charging seems to be more of an issue/concern. software confirms this with error message.
Enjoy the pics.

Thanks and I hope this helps satisfy some curiosity. In my opinion, from owning both of them, not worth the upgrade at all. The 4G is going back to T-Mo.

Wow Samsung.. a new model and you STILL can't get the GPS right? This is absurd

Pretty neat to see them both....

my gps works great... was showing 11ft accuracy on gpstest tonight.

Can you confirm that the camera has the same plug connector as the vibrant ?

Yes - confirmed - camera has the same plug connector. I swapped various parts back & forth to test things out (actually using them, took pictures, etc.) and the only things that are not compatible are the headset plug connector; I guess that is why it is the only part inside that has T959V labeled on the ribbon itself, and the back housing - the antenna contacts receptor(?) on the underside, since one of them was moved to the top of the board, which is also labeled T959V instead of i9000 as it is on the Vibrant.

My gps works great. Maybe its just your phone?

The modem is one of the black chips soldered onto the board. So no I don't think it would be that easy even if you have those robot precise soldering skills. I will upload a picture that shows the chips and identifies them on the Vibrant (same layout as the 4G but obviously the modem is different on the 4G. Then you have to consider that the extra 20% juice this phone consumes (1000ma on the 4G vs 800ma on the Vibrant) is to power the new modem. So even if you did have the soldering skills, then you might have a power problem.

Yes, it is a possibility. The phone keeps overheating as well when charging, it gets extremely hot. I think this may be a defective unit I received.

i got my 4g and so far no problems with battery or GPS... gps was the first thing i tried and it worked great. im guess some of these crappy phones are slipping through Quality Assurance on the assembly line...

You are totally right. You would think after the GPS mess & outrage with the Vibrant that they would be more careful this second time around. Apparently they did not listen or learn. It really makes me consider going for the LG Optimus 2X instead of the S2. I really want to get the S2 but these problems keep worrying me. It is like loving someone but they keep beating you up, do you get out of the relationship or keep hoping it gets better? Hmmm....

my gps works alright, sometimes it's a little wonky but nothing horribly concerning. i haven't gotten the overheating issue once although my battery is kind of sad.. i've rooted it and used setcpu to underclock when idle but still just short battery life.
i have noticed, however, that i have a green tint to my screen. noticed when taking photos that skin tones are off, then i email it to myself and check on other phones/computers and sure enough, it's just my 4g screen that seems to be tinted green a little. anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Hmm that sucks, if you are going to keep it, that is a problem I would not want to have, try get it exchanged. Thanks for letting us know about your problem.
Maybe someone has a solution and can offer some advice for the green tint?

This thread alone just convinced me that there is no way I would upgrade from the vibrant to this. What a let down. I considered getting it at first but thankfully realized they are just the same phone.

Moved to general as not android development

My friend and I both got 4Gs' at the same time. My gps fixed within 2 meters in my home, his running side by side took a long time to aquire. We rebooted his, gps took a long time to aquire but after 2 min, it did, but was within 9 meters of same location.

I wanna know...
I see the GPS is an issues. But I wanna know from yall that have the SGS 4G, is this the phone to buy right now on Tmobile or go a different route?
Im still rockin a Touch Pro 2. Contract about to end soon. I was lookin at the myTouch4G but the SGS 4G has better looking radios. Where the myTouch only has the 14.4 stuff.
What's yalls thought on it?

I have used both and they are both good phones. The decision for me was made by the screen on the GS4G, the Super AMOLED just looks so much better to me. The MT4G is a more solid feeling phone and it is plenty fast (processing wise). The GS4G is noticeably faster on the 4G network and I also get faster speeds while on WiFi, not sure why but I will take it! Coming from the TouchPro 2 you will be happy with either, I just prefer the GS4G.

Really bad call quality / speakerphone compared to my captivate, help!

I recently broke my captivate and got an Inspire 4G. I am noticing a big difference in signal, call, and input speakerphone quality.
I am currently on "H+" and have 1-2 bars at my house. Most times I can't even get a text message to send without hitting "retry." In terms of call quality, I usually have to walk around my house to find a good spot. When I put a call on speakerphone, I can usually hear the other person just fine, but they usually can't hear me at all (its almost as if on my end im not in speakerphone).
I'm really worried because I have some phone interviews coming up, and don't want this phone to negatively affect me. Is it because its in "4G"? Is there a way to set my phone to 3G for better coverage? Help me! At this point I don't care so much about data speeds as much as call quality.
For the record, in all other areas the Inspire is much better than the Captivate IMO.

Flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972725

The speakerphone on the Inspire is on the bottom so thus when you on a call, turn the phone over and the speaker phone will become louder. I had problems with this and tried it once and people could hear me. With the phone facing up and on speaker, no one could hear me. But then after reading on here and on the net, I found out that placing the Inspire facedown will allow the speakerphone to be louder. Hope this helps.

Did u do the swap at an ATT store? I would try replacing the phone... my first had similar issues, along with the proximity sensor being borked..
Then flash the ota update by HTC (in settings WiFi update) you shouldn't have to flash anything for the phone to work out of the box.

I got the phone about 3-4 weeks ago at best buy. Could I really see a drastic difference in signal quality if I got a replacement? My phone is completely up to date. I just don't understand how I get such a huge difference in signal quality compared to my captivate.

Good Idea.... wrong execution. I do admire your bravery to post it though. Here are a couple of hangers i've made. The one on the table was for my Samsung Omnia, and the 2nd is for the epic that sits on the vent slots. They are made of 14g fence wire that I had laying around.I've since panted the hanger for the epic.

Thx! Yea, i saw how to make the one that stands on the table, from a video on Youtube, which i can no longer find.... But i've actually have made a few of these for friends and a couple for myself, just by looking at my first one (the one that stands on the table) for an example.
I no long have the omnia, or i'd love to show you how it looks to have a phone in it... the pic really doesnt do it justice.
Taking your time is key, making sure every bend is not too tight or to lose. Just use your phone as a template.
I'd like to see what you make!

Ummm the desktop charger for the epic is a kickstand. That's why there is that circular groove in the front of it with a lil strip of rubber in the middle. Slide out keyboard the open battery door then horizontally place phone in groove. Works great for watching movies on a plane.

Ya'll are ghetto! Just find a business card holder at your local office supply store. They're cheap, and they at least look like they belong on an office desk. Doesn't the night maintenance staff throw your "stands" away every night because it looks like you left trash on your desk?

This is by far the simplest and most effective dock to make it works anywhere and can be made adjustable by clipping in onto a piece of metal or thin wood will take some pics of mine. have made 3 so far 2 for my friends takes about 10 min tops to make one , you do need shrinking tube.

On 3rd phone... Does every s3 have these screen gaps?

I'm on my third s3, and of course it has gaps between the glass and the bezel. The gaps aren't symetric so it makes me think that they shouldn't be there...
Three weeks ago when I got my third s3 I said I was just going to deal with it. But after removing my case to put on my new sgp curved screen protector, I really don't know if I should stand for this...

I got my first replacement from a local VZ store. I didn't notice the screen gap on the first one, but the home button was "loose".
The second one was a replacement for intermittent network issues from a tech on the phone. That one definitely had the gap issues.
Now I don't know what to do. Maybe contact Samsung? I'm really frustrated because I don't think it's possible to clean out the dust.. I pre-ordered my original phone, so I've technically had the s3 for a while... Am I screwed?

I would keep taking it back till your happy.

I'm looking at it now on a smaller screen, and I can admit it is hard to see. If you have a s3 you will notice that the screen is flush with the bezel. In the second pic, you will notice it a white gap between the screen and bezel. This is because there is a fairly large gap which has already started to fill with dust. I'm a 22 y/o professional so I'm not rolling around in dirt either. It's honestly unacceptable.

Damnit...your starting to make me paranoid, and now I can't tell if I have this problem or not. Wish I never read this post

My white one looks fine except my home button is quite loose, if you put a little bit of pressure on it then it moves around a bit... normal?

In all honesty, I would call Verizon support. Talk to someone in customer service. Tell them exactly what has happened about the two other phones and then tell them that at this point, becasue of all the trouble you've had, you are regretting being Verizon customer and that you see no reason they can't get you a quality product - that no one should have to accept an inferior quality product with any defect at all, let alone 3 of them.
They'll fix it, I'd all but gaurentee.

I'm sorry for making you guys paranoid I'm a quality engineer so I spend my week looking for flaws in the devices in test, so of course that mindset trickles over to the things I own.
That being said, I had an OG Incredible that I got around release date that NEVER had an issue. The only reasons I went with the s3 were to lock into unlimited for another 2 years, bigger screen and 4g. If I really had to I could activate the inc right now now.

It seems that every home button moves around a little when putting pressure on it. However, on my first s3 if I slide my finger from left to right or right to left over the button with no pressure being applied the button would make a clicking noise and move.
Try doing that. If it happens, I would say it is too loose.
