No idea how it even happened, pull the phone out of my pocket to check things on Saturday night and the screen is toast. Spiderweb cracks all the way around.....Guess I could have bumped the corner of a table?? ..... Anyways, it's being taken care of, so I'm all good............3 days in, I was pretty bummed. New phone on the way though!
How did you get a new phone? Insurance?

Really, it happened while the screen was facing in against your body? That's bizarre. I learned the same lesson, luckily on my old Samusng Blackjack, and it only cracked the screen cover, not the screen itself--I leaned against a table corner and heard the "pop" when it happened.
I also find it weird that it cracked while the screen was against your leg...If it was facing outwards then I could understand. I dented the side of my Macbook Pro by accidentally hitting it against a railing while it was in a padded carry bag. You'd be surprised at how much force you exert even with just a tap.
Though, I guess hitting the back of the case really hard may crack the screen. My friend had one of those indestructable Nokia flip phones and it took a shot from a competition air rifle (.1775) at 10m to crack the screen...and we shot the outer casing (which only left a dent)
I think I bumped into a table and it "bent" the phone enough to crack the glass?? I don't know............anyways, I'll get a new one soon (I hope).......

It may have broke from just your pants pocket. Normally, when you stick the phone in your pocket it will be in portrait mode, but occasionally it will fall into landscape. When this happens and you sit down your pants pocket will push the phone against your leg very tightly and bend it, possibly to the breaking point if you don't notice it right away and shift your weight right. Try it.
Of course, this largely depends on the type of clothing you wear... It should be noted that this can happen with any phone. I've never had it happen but I've come close to it with my HTC Aria.

i scratched off the matte finish on the metal cover and it revealed a very stunning undercoat. I think it looks much better. I used an expired credit card to scratch it off. do not use anything metal to scratch it off, it will leave a scratch on the undercoat.
Done on a white mt4g. i think the different colored mt4g have a darker back cover.
Also it takes a very long time to do.
Pictures were taken with flash off because it shines that much.

Looks nice. How is the texture of the undercoat? Is it slippery like the stock overcoat or is it more grippy?
it has a lot more grip but it does collect more oils from your hand
Hmmmm....I think I may do this in the next couple of days. I'm also wondering how it may turn out if I use my dremel to create a brushed look...decisions decisions.
I'm not sure if you want to do this, if u look next to you sd card theres a gold contact that touches the inside of the battery cover. So the coating my be a barrier between the metal and our hands to prevent signal issues i.e. Iphone 4 like signal issues. Anyone who's tried this confirm either way? I love the look just don't want to regret it later.
Did you just rub the edge of the card on it for hours? Because I've been doing it for a couple minutes and I don't think it's getting me anywhere.
There was a slight chip where you open the phone and i just used a credit card to dig under it. if you do it right, the paint will chip off into a fine powder

If you look on the underside of the cover, the spot on the cover which touches that contact is etched away. This is to ensure contact is made without obstruction. So there is no "barrier" between the cover and this contact. Just the opposite. My guess is that it is a ground circuit to divert static electricity. Since the cover is made of metal, this would make sense. Scratching off the outer dullcoat should not have any negative effect.

I find that there's a strong correlation between the amount of times I drop the device and the force at which I drop it and the amount of alcohol that I've drunk.

Distracted by the girl and dropped on concrete, the phone was in a plastic case-mate. As a result, broke into two pieces and get a little scratch, has long been frustrated. But as they say, things for us, not we for things. Protect and take care of your phone.

drop 2 times.
1) from about 15cm to wooden table, no effect.
2) about 1 meter to tile floor resulting some dent on top edge.
both situation happened without protective cover.
My total ownage of 3 months. and I've dropped it only once
I'm usually very careful of my gadgets, they are always fully protected with invisible shields/thick leather cases etc.
My phone is still in perfect condition. apart from a small small chip (the size of a full stop) on the top of the phone (near headset port)
It really bugs me now! I can see a white patch, where the paint came off.
I got the scratch when a door hit my phone... And it was through my pocket!

I have simply lost count I am using the Casemate Barely There case. It definitely protects the phone but I really ought to get my screen protector on.
so heres the story. it was on my kitchen table. my cat jumped up on the kitten table. the phone fell OFF the kitchen table. it landed on my wood flooring, and BAYYM. shattered like a christmas orniment. i can say the screen is fragile.. very different from my Galaxy S phones, which have been dropped numerous times, landed on concrete, and have dropped inside of a machine at work (lol). guess this is why samsung desides to make those "cheap feeling" light weight builds..

Yeah man that sucks. I dropped my Vivid the exact same way except it was outside on concrete. I am assuming you didn't have a screen protector on? Some screen protectors are said to spread the impact and protect it better.
Is it easy to install the replacement screen?
Also $45 isn't bad at all. My wife recently did the same thing to her Samsung Infuse and it cost $150.

You weren't the first to break one...HTC was the first to break it when they released it.
This is relevant to my future interests. Did you successfully replace the screen? Is it true that the screen is laminated/glued to the LCD? How did you pry it apart? Can you post instructions on how you did it after the deed is complete?

If the rattle is around the camera area, don't worry about it, there's somewhere in a thread in here talking about it and if I remember correctly it has to do with the camera and is present in all of the devices.

Hi All,
I thought the One S was meant to be impossible to mark and the screen is gorilla glass that is impossible to scratch.
Well after two weeks use I have lots of small chips along the sharp edge at the top, presumably from keys and coins in my pocket, and some hairline scratches on the screen.
Very disappointed about this, clearly the marketing is a lie. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

Belief can be a powerful thing. Perhaps you could tell HTC that they have it wrong?
I think expecting a phone not to scratch is like expecting your brand new car no to get scratches. Not possible. We've given up that idea with cars and should really understand that it's the same way with phones. If you plan on using it and care about scratches put a screen protector and cover on it.
OP's mistake was somehow assuming that his phone is invincible. HTC surely never said anything about it being impervious to any damage. That kind of thinking is just silly.
They fortify the phones the best they can, and in this case, the metal housing IS pretty sturdy. That being said, this thing can bust through silicone cases. I've dropped mine twice, and both times, the top left and bottom of the phone literally punctured through the silicone case and got scratched/scuffed. No biggie, though.
Really?...you're storing your $600 computer in your pocket with coins and keys and then complaining it scratches? I've never used any sort of case or protector..just keep it alone in my pocket and have no scratches on any of my last 3 phones. Do you keep your laptop rattling around in your trunk with a loose lugwrench and case of soda cans?

I definitely advise against keeping any phone in the same pocket as your keys! I use my front pockets exclusively, a thin wallet and my keys (and make sure I get rid of keys I don't need instead of carrying around a keychain that looks like it belongs to a janitor) and the phone by itself on the other front pocket.
No cell phone is indestructible! Take care of it well, it's a technological marvel, don't take it for granted!

Preach it! Exactly how I have my setup. And the cellphone upside down! (I guess it's just easier to pull it out of the pocket that way).
I quit the coinage habit.... leave your pennies in the tip jar. One dedicated pocket for the device and nothing else.
I hate cases and protectors like a disease they are just dumb but this thing is so damn slippery I'm thinking about putting some sort of rubber film on the back. Yet to drop this thing but I don't drop my children either

I assume everyone would have the same problem as OP if their phone was in the pocket alongside keys and coins without a protective case and.
As some have said here already, keeping all the stuff in one pocket and your phone in another should do wonders.
Mines only a week old and already you can see the silver showing through around the usb port.

So the first thing I found when I bought this phone is that the camera is sticking out of the back of the phone a bit too much. It looks nice, but it gets scratched if you're addicted to wearing jeans. So I saw a spare screen protector laying around so I thought of this and just wanted to share.
Use a hole punch. Here is what I did.
1. Cut a screen protector in a strip ( not necessary its just my hole punch sucks at hole punching)
2. Punch a hole. ( if your hole punch is like mine take off the other layer of the screen protector so it actually punches a clean hole).
3. Clean up the camera and apply the protector. ( it won't fill the camera hole completely but it covers the part that the camera uses to "see" out of.
4. Enjoy a scratch free camera!
Pictures: ( the last ones are just to show that pictures still turn out fine...even with terrible resizing.)

Meh. This is my 5th HTC device, and I've never put any in a case. Just a personal preference, of course. But I think its a bit silly that so many people like to keep their phone in a case in order to keep the phone exterior in nice condition, when they never see the exterior or the phone (its always covered by the case).
If you switch devices frequently, and the objective is to keep the phone in good condition for resale, that I can see. But that is also something I've never done. I still own every smartphone I've ever bought!

yeah for me cases ruin the beauty of any phone (except for the iphone...cases actually make it look better). The reason people probably wouldn't have thought of this is because most people dont have screen protectors sitting around. The only reason i have them is because i bought the phone at Costco and they gave me 2 "universal" (aka piece of *#%) ones that i wasn't going to use anyway.
Hahah really useful hint. Thanks mate.

Isn't the camera glass Corning Gorilla glass ?
What would really cool is put some filters on it. Neutral density anyone?

Some actual glass would be a great start.

Okay I wanted to give everyone even a better update.
At Radio Shack you can buy the old invisible shield kits for old phones they have them marked down to .97 cents! now don't be rude and buy them all lol this will give you a few tries to cut the circle haha. Enjoy! :good:
I'd use an old stick of lip gloss to act as a stencle and try cutting out a perfect circle with an exacto knife. Alternatively, a pen cap might work.
