One Drop One Kill.

I pulled mt Inspire from my holster on my hip and lost grip as it hung up on the holster it was in. It fell less than 3 feet to the ground. I heard a disturbing glass crash as it hit and picked up a trashed Inspire off the floor. I found a new digitizer on Amazon.com for a reasonable price but decided to take mine all the way apart before ordering the new glass digitizer. As I disassembled the Inspire, it became apparent that it was more than just the digitizer that was broken. The black casing that holds the digitizer and LCD was broken in two spots.
Although the phone was only three months old, I decided that if it was to break this easy it wasn't worth the constant fixing that my clumsy hands were to bestow upon it. At 3 months I declare it dead. I pulled out an old Samsung Eternity I had literally thrown at walls and it never cracked and started using it. HTC's designs are very poor. From the battery door to the random rebooting to the poor Bluetooth to the one drop one kill digitizer screen. I despise the Iphone but at least its a bit heartier than the Inspire and my be my next choice. I have never broken a screen on any phone I've ever owned this was way too easy.

Did it have a case on it?

Yea...did you have a case and screen protector? I have dropped my inspire from about 3 feet onto solid concrete not once bit twice and suffered no damage at all because I had protection. Secondly...iPhone or android, these phones are expensive and fragile enough to justify getting insurance. Its well worth it my friend.

@ dooyoo, me thinks prolly not. I've dropped mine so many times, habits bounce around in the cab of my truck w/out any issues. My Speck Candy case has MOAR than paid for itself.

that sucks... I've dropped mine a few times onto the pavement, I have a bad habit of putting the phone down on my lap when driving and when I get out of the truck I forget.. then boom but it never broke (knock on wood) Best thing to have is a good case.. I have a fish bone case..

I call it a day with my otterbox commuter. An extra 30 saves me so much headache in the long run.

I cracked my iphone screen twice. I've dropped my inspire twice (once face down) and no breakage. The difference? The otterbox commuter case. Picked mine up for $16 on Amazon.

sounds like a fluke to me. ive dropped mine a few times on hard tile with no damage, one time on asphalt. i have a couple scratched on the body, nothing major.
i got a rubber body glove case and now i dont worry about it.

I've dropped my phone twice from about 4 feet, once on cement and once on a wood floor. My Otterbox Commuter case perfectly preserved the phone both times.

I had a Samsung Captivate 2 phones ago and it didn't survive the "accelerated fall" that I did to it. It had the infamous "shuts itself off for no f-n reason" issue. Only thing that broke was the screen, glass and digitizer though. It still turns on but I didn't bother to get it fixed because then I would have a phone that still shuts itself off. Anyway, I have a silicone case on my Inspire that i got for $20 at At&t store and I use the screen protectors they offer there. Phones been dropped a few times with no issues of damage or strange flukes.

I smashed my girlfriends screen last night, insurance had a new omen her hands today. For a whole &50 more than I paid for it though.

My son's ipod survived a crash with an Otterbox on it. Would have gone with one, but didn't want anyone to mistake my Inspire for an iPhone.

Lmao it sounds more like a iPhone fan boy came up in here trying to find a way to diss android and the inspire without becoming labeled as "flaming". Now I've dropped mine from the upstairs apartment balcony because my nephew picked it up without seeing it and as I tried to get it,it slipped and fell,hit concrete and went under the truck. I picked it up and with the armor guard (zagg) and otterbox defender saved it and not one scratch or rattle after taking it out of the case.

I have never had a case on my inspire because it's big enough without one and I have dropped it on concrete a few times from about three feet without a scratch on the thing. Sounds like a fluke or a fanboi.

To knock the phones build quality is ridiculous. The main factor is the position the phone is in as it hits the ground. Plain and simple. Having an otterbox helps too.

Yes indeed. If it hit glass first,that would def shatter any phone. HTC stepped up and used uni body casing and man it feels strong. I've used Motorola,Sony Erickson,SamDung,and now HTC. HTC always from now on.

I've dropped my phone a few times, but I have a silicon case on it. Never had any scratches either.
I also have a technique that has saved many of my phones... whenever I drop it I extend my foot to where it's falling so that it'll hit my shoe and slow down a bit before hitting the ground. Works like a charm.

Cracked Screen - Bad

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.

Yep, broke my screen this past weekend.
Oddly enough, the LCD screen itself shattered, but the outer glass and digitizer were unaffected.
Swinging with my daughter at the park on Saturday, and forgot I had my phone in my back pocket until it was too late. Hopped off the swing and pulled the phone but it was too late

I do have to say that Corningware makes one heck of a glass (Gorilla Glass)! I would have half expected the outer glass to crack before the LCD screen!
Already ordered a replacement front assembly to the tune of $219. Using my daughters re-possessed iPhone 3gs right now, and it's horrible!
An expensive lesson learned.

Im sorry to hear that! I was under the impression we didn't have gorilla glass?? Maybe I was wrong?

Mine did the same thing back in December. Digitizer was fine, but the lcd was all cracked. We may not have gorilla glass, but what we do have sure is tough. Mine was from a drop about waste high. Since the Digitizer survived and the lcd did not, I dont see that the gorilla glass would have made any difference.Do these phones have a drop rating like an hdd does? I doubt it since it has glass.

Interesting. After hearing that Samsung doesn't use Corning's materials, I did a bit of research and seems Samsung has their own variant of hardened glass.
Call it what you will, but it's tough as nails

Yes that is true Samsung has that and it is being used on the sr

I belive it. A cat survived a 19 story fall not too long ago. Some guy lived after a 500 foot drop some years back.
This stuff happens all the time. But I wouldn't expect my cat to make a 19 story drop. Nor would I make future plans facing a 500 foot one.
.

I'm interested to know, how much does Samsung charge to repair our phones? Or is it cheaper to buy the LCD/digitizer and repair it ourselves?

Chips and Scratches :(

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

It's not impossible to scratch, It is just hard to scratch it.
Try not to put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys and coins in.

Yeah !! All my phones have cases and screen protectors, No matter how tough these phones are, Its NOT impossible to scratch or chip, Its just very difficult.
They are scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

I have the same problem. In a place where the most touching, there was a spot similar to the attrition. I believe in One S which has no gorilla glass 2. Glass can be scratched by the finger.

The chipping issue has been resolved now though they changed the process of mapping them I bought my one s two weeks after it came out and also bought a pouch and taken good caste of it

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?

jajaja yes! To prevent something from hitting the screen!

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
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

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.

I think hox doesn't hav removable battery
Copied signature

it doesnt, but you can take it apart and disconnect it. and yes bag of rice, more rice the better. if your anal about reviving it you could disassemble it in pieces, put in rice for 2 days, then soak it in 99% alcohol then air dry, and put back in rice for 2 more days.
the first 2 days will draw most of the water out, the alcohol will then clean most of the corrosion if any, and draw away more water, then the final 2 days will completely dry it. so long as nothing fried...itll work.

- Use a tab of some sort (plastic, not metal) and pop off the body (its held in place w tabs along the sides
- lift the bottom, and slide it out of the top end.
- disconnect the battery lead (since it's now accessible)
- put a section of paper towel down on half the bowl of rice.
- place the digitizer/circutry portion of the phone on the piece of paper towel on the rice
- add another layer of paper towel on top
- cover with rice.
the back cover (that contains the speaker and mic section) can be dried manually and out in the air.
after a day, pull the digitizer/circutry out of the rice/paper-towel-sandwhich and press the copper power button at the top after reconnecting the battery lead.
It should power up now (if it didnt blow any resistors while in the wash)

Sorry for OPs phone. But this picture looks too familiar. I broke my arias screen twice & replaced it twice.lol. That phone was pretty easy 2 fix. I dont know if the One X is as easy though, but I guess that problem is not about screen. The only problem I have with fixing screens is that the screen never wants to stay down tight. Over time it pushes back up.
