Ouch. Sorry to hear that buddy.
Good luck on repairing the screen, heard that it's not too hard. Then again, I've never tried myself.

That crossed my mind after I watched a tutorial on how to replace the digitizer. The lowest temp of the heat gun I have is 500f. I'll be using the wife's hair dryer instead.
Got the new digitizer. Installed it. Now I have issues. the center of the screen and just a little lower act as if its being pressed constantly. I don't know what the deal is... did I get a bad digitizer? Did I do something wrong? FML

Fell off my desk...hit my wooden chair facedown. And no screen protector. And what sucks is that I ordered a screen protector last weekend and It still hasn't gotten here yet. But it sucks that it happened before I got the protector.

Hahahahahaha I though that too, i think that would be weird, this phone is actually awesome.
i'm not real sure that a screen protector would have helped that much. scratches yes, full on face hit, i'm not sure sorry to hear about it though
Does anyone have an solution to cover/protect the camera lens on the phone?
Not so much from scratches, but mostly lint/dust.
I seem to have this problem with most phones (not just the Optiums V), and it seems to be a function of manufacturers recessing the lens to protect it from scratches, or surrounding it with a bezel.
Crap just accumulates against the edges, and I find I have to clean it out every so often or the picture quality suffers.
Wrap your shirt around your pinky and shove it in there man. Lol

Lol yep, the simple solution! If I ever remember, I like to put some alcohol or some sort of cleaning fluid and wipe around with a cotton swab.
I just cleaned mine the other day with a damp q-tip. Then used the dry side to wipe off the little bit of water left on the cover.
I am going to do this about once a week or so just to keep crap outta there!
ok guys, this is the cleaning thread for the P500 - i'm right?
so, here is my question: how do you clean the particles between the lcd board and the glass over it? is there a way to do that or must we life with that?
the dust underneath? would love an answer to this

My p500 suffers from this, the only solution is to take it apart from what i've gathered, which will void your warranty. :/
sent my phone in with the dust problem, rooted and running cm7 and they repaced the lcd, changed the plastic screen front for gorrilla glass free of charge. tested resestance withe a swiss cooking knife.
Gorilla glass on P500 ?

Well bricked actually.. So they probably just hooked it up to the kdz. The problem with it though is when the phone heats up the moisture on the screen heats up and dries and scrolling is unbearable.

I am creating this thread to talk about when you dropped your phone and if it survived.
So here is my story....
I went to the movies with my wife and I had my phone in a pouch and was sitting on my lab. I moved my leg and my phone slipped from my lab and by the sound of it sliding on the floor, I knew it had slipped off the pouch. I started looking for it with my hands since couldn't see anything, couldn't find it, thankfully my wife did find it.
My wife handed it to me and my biggest fear was that my beautiful shiny, screen will be all scratched, to my amazement no scratchs on the screen whatsoever, it did get scratch on the metal part, but not bad at all. So now I can really say that Gorilla glass works on concrete lol
What's your story?

There is a protector I saw in walmart is called wrapsol and it protects the whole phone. It is 20.00 but I saw some reviews about it and it seems to protect the phone very well. Scratch protection + naked phone = Awesomeness!

Dropped mine about 3 feet onto a hardwood floor. It made a horrible sound on impact. Luckily I had one of those $5 tpu cases from ebay on. No scratches, dents, or anything else.

I dropped mines while it was in the body glove and the stupid [email protected] opened up on impact and now I have the top right corner scuffed. The screen protector had a scratch about an inch. I dont know if the screen would have scratched without the protector but hey Im happy I had it on.

That is one tough phone. I ordered a few thin cases for the phone but since seeing these videos they are probably not necessary. A case would ruin a beautiful phone.
The camera is recessed in the North American version about a mm into the case . Just be vigilant where you set the phone down. I am thinking no case is needed for this phone.
No case or screen protector for me
that's impressive...I wouldn't try it with my iJunk

Just be warned that if it hits the screen the right way, your screen is dead. I'm using a tpu case with a lip to protect the screen a bit. I'd be fine without the case though...
I am still trying to think what the screen reminds me of. The bubbled out effect.
Its like an old product....

I feel for you the exact way mine broke was falling out of my dress pocket as I reached over in my car. It fell out hit my bottom door jam which broke the fall and it hit the ground maybe 10 inches off and broke! On top of that I ordered the glass and I did not heat it enough when removing and destroyed the digitizer!!! So a very expensive lesson indeed.
Now I did not start this to advertise but I have since replaced over a dozen pieces of glass for friends family and ones I have advertised here locally. I have become very proficient at doing it and I can point you to this thread for help before you try. I would say DO NOT try it until you read that thread through.. It is a bunch of pages so try and pay attention to the posts of advise and help. Quick points. Lots of heat but keep it moving! Use plastic razor blades lest you scratch your digitizer. Heat wedge, heat wedge... Be careful not to damage the bottom ribbon cable or touch screen soft buttons and finally start from the TOP!! NEVER EVER start from the bottom... Get some 2mm 3M double sided tape as well.

If you still do not want to attempt it for fear of breaking it I can do it for you for a very reasonable price. PM me if you are interested and I will give you the details. Currently I have 3 XDA members sending me their phones for glass replacement. :good:
Now on to the petition everyone sign it!!!
Fingers crossed it wont happen to me. I already dropped my phone a couple of times and I fear it's just a matter of time. I think i should invest in a slightly better case for drop protection.
