Pics of my shattered MT4G

It fell from my lap while getting out of the car. 2 ft drop on to street.
EDIT: Hope my replacement has the good display.

Sheesh....

Ouuuuucchhhhhhh!!!

how are u getting the replacement? got warranty on that?
man, ive dropped my g1 from my lap countless times and its still going strong..but the feel of the mt4g kinda tells me this will happen.

Bro that's crazy.
I dropped my MT4G while I was running on the treadmill @ 7 mph, the battery flew off and the phone flew onto the concrete behind me. Doesn't have a single scratch. If it was only 2 feet how could your screen be that bad?

I have dropped it before and had no Issues, I guess if it hits the ground just right it will shatter

That sucks my dude. Same thing happened to me fee days ago. Dropped it face down as I was getting out of my car but scratchless cus of tmo case

Dropped mine the first day I got it and it has a scratch on the bottom edge but that's about it. And it fell face down on gravel. Things like this never fail to surprise me, just had to hit that one weak spot.

Samething happened to my vibrant, 2ft from the car. That's how I ended up getting a mt4g.

All depends on the drop. Back in my blackberry days I had a pearl that fell 5' in a thin silicone case and not even a mark. My wife had a storm in a thick silicone case and fell 3' and the display looked like the OP's. It's all about the way the phone hits.
Glad your getting a new one! Wish we has gorilla glass!!!

Gorilla glass is scratch-proof, not shatter-proof.

It is shatter proof as well...
Technically impact resistant...

Question: when you got it replace do you have to send the broken one back?

Ouch. That's exactly why mine has a warranty.

Sensation. Sturdy Device?

I'm still not convince sensation being sturdy device. Can sensation users share their horrible accidents with their sensation? Did your phone make it? is it still alive like nothing happen?

I'm pretty disappointed.... The battery cover (bottom right) is loose, and getting worse. So when I type the phone kind of gives a bit, and makes a slight creaking noise.
Most likely returning for new this weekend.

I've never had the "creak" that some people have. Then again, I've never used this without it's case....which I'm sure holds it tight.
Just one of the many inherent risks with purchasing any device.

I must say the device feels really solid. In fact I find it much more solid than my MT4G. I have not dropped it if that's what your asking. I don't have any loose feeling or creaking in mine.

I literally dropped my phone three times last night at the bar and I have no visible marks. Gut wrenching but I'm glad to see that it can take a drop. Kudos to HTC.

I would say that its a sturdy device... Very nicely built...

The first one I had which I returned for dust under the screen, I dropped at a bar (this seems to be a commonality) and kicked it simultaneously across the floor. Ran to pick it up and it was still as good as new

i was traveling recently and had it on my lap. i stepped out of the truck(F150) and it fell onto the asphalt and slid sum..all i could find damage wise was a little nick in the corner. size of a pin hole. i thought for sure i had road rash and a cracked screen. this was without the cover i have on it now.
held up great!!

If I press the screen hard (not damaging hard) you hear a creek. I dropped it, being drunk, and the grey "metal" is plastic so it removed the paint. Just a tiny drop sized thing. It's a sturdy phone overall. Reminds me of the mytouch 4g and nexus one.

Yea, my second unit had the same creak issue and I just returned it to Walmart. I couldn't deal with it, especially on such a beautiful phone. I'm really anal bout my phones. My one year old HD2 still looks like it came from the factory, no shiitin! I'll be getting a new unit through customer care once they fkin replenish their warehouse.

Tough phone
I hit mine off a pool table with a pint glass and it slid across a slate tile floor(screen down) and still looks like new.

I was recording a video on mine and a friend waved her hands frantically, and catapulted my sensation out of my hands where it landed about 3 or 4 meters away on concrete. Not a blemish on the device and it actually managed to continue recording video throughout the trauma!

I went to a friends party and we were comparing phones, he has the mt4g, and we were both pretty drunk. We both somehow accidentally dropped our phones and my sensation, with no case, had no damage at all. His mt4g, with a case, has a completely shattered screen.

I have the creak issue and it changes where it creaks each time I take the back of the phone off and put it back on again.

Post the video!

i haven't had an accident with it but , i don't know, to my eyes it looks fragile. but hey i come from a hd2. you can kill a man with that MOFO. lol

I dropped mine from standing on the asphalt, and it has a pretty good size chip in the paint, but other than that nothing. Dropped my mt4g from lower and cracked the screen. Pretty sturdy imo

I accidentally dropped my G2x thread

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?
Sent From My Stock G2x

I dropped mine getting out of my car face down onto asphalt and thought the screen would be demolished. Not a single scratch! My heart stopped as I saw it falling.

I cant imagine dropping mine, I would get a new one if I had a scratch. I have been using it without my case lately, I like the way out feels naked.

I know dude it feels super nice naked. I agree 100% with you
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!

This is sarcasm. Humor. Joke. Messing around. Etc.

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.

[Q] glass issues

has anyone had issues with the glass on the sensation shattering on very low impact?

It is always a question of luck... I haven´t heard any complaints about the glass beeing not strong enough.

you could do a quick test and smash it with a hammer (just not too much power on the smashing ) if it doesn't break your all good. if it does. your not one of the lucky guys.

One test is rather not make my phone endure.however I do believe the angle it drops and the surface it hits is a deciding factor.

Thsnks for the tips but i accidentslly dropped mine from less than a foot off the ground and the glass shattered

Stupid, yet surprised.

So, the other night.. I threw my phone as hard as I could...And it hit a metal pole about 6-8 feet in front of me. It had a cheap case on it. That flew about 20 feet and landed on my roof. I will provide a link. I should have taken a pic of the back of the phone... It put a crack in the top area of the battery cover. A little below the camera area...And the only issue was I had to push the back cover down after removing the back. I ordered a new one, no problem.
However, I was amazed that nothing more happened. Everything else works fine. Here is the case that I had: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-MESH-Hybrid-Hard-Silicone-Rubber-Gel-Skin-Case-Cover-for-HTC-Sensation-4G-/300624027183?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45fe969e2f

OK I'll be the one to ask.
Why the hell did you throw your phone at a metal post? :what:

Well, most of you are at least partially correct.
I have really bad insomnia. I had been up for 6 days and some family issues...
And female issues.
I don't often get mad/angry/annoyed/etc. It had been over a year, (Yes, really.)
Being up for 6 days and all the drama (I keep myself away from drama as much as possible.)
I just snapped... Threw the phone. I did like the case. I ordered an Otter Box. Phone feels way to thin without a case, haha.

Did throwing your phone make you feel better at all? Was it worth it?

Two words : anger management!
