Cracked Screen. :(

Do not drop this phone even with a case and screen protector.
What happen was I knock it off my desk to the wood floor and it fell on its side not on the screen and this is the result of it. Phone still works but the digitizer and LCD are both cracked. *Sigh*
At least I have insurance even if I don't want to use it.
I have a picture but I cant post it since I'm new so copy and paste it

I was worried about this happening because the screen was so big I have a bad habit of leaving my phone in my lap while driving forgetting its there and drop it when I get out of the car. Did it with my droid alot never broke anything hope yours just hit the floor in the wrong spot. Does HTC use gorilla glass? does anyone know?

It's not Gorilla Glass.

That sucks, same thing happened to me about 2 weeks after I got the d2. I hate spending money on something, then having spend more money to get it replaced because I screwed up. I feel your pain.

man, that sucks

Just don't plug it in to charge then forget and get out. I've killed two chargers this way. That is why I buy the cheap retractable ones. A) cheap to replace, B) they just snap off, IE not doing much(if any) damage to the usb port of the phone.

Oh yah, done that!! In my truck nice 36 inch drop on pavement... My incredible survived it once.. Since then I make sure my phone is next to me.

It just sucks since I had to pay outright since I didn't want a contract.
Any word on when the otter box is coming out for this phone? I never had a case on my original droid but on this phone you need a good one.

Yea I feel like I need an Otterbox for this phone. For some reason it feels really fragile.

Sorry to hear about your loss. That happened to my nexus one the first week I got it.

True but its worst without it.

I must be extremely lucky. The other day I dropped my phone as I was getting in the car and the door shut right on it. I didn't slam the door very hard so it didn't latch or anythinf, but I still feared the worst. Luckily nothing was Damaged.

sorry for the lost, live and learn.

Its so hit or miss man. Ive dropped my Incredible from 5' off a breakfast bar onto tile and nothing but then you hear of others dropping on wood floors at a foot and utter destruction. It just takes that one special spot.
Hell look at the Nexus one when it first released, they had the videos showing the "Genetically altered" Glass they were using with little what looked like erasers bending the glass a million times and some sort of tumbler throwing it around to show the durability and then a week after release they said "The Nexus one should not be placed in pockets due to the high risk of stress cracks" Ahh duhh???!!!

wow i feel your pain. same happned to me with the droid 1

Did that to my EVO the second week I had it after launch. Another $100 I had to put into that phone.
No insurance on my Thunderbolt...we'll see how that plays out.

Buying a myTouch 4G, any precautions?

Looking at buying a slide tomorrow. Is there anything I need to be alarmed of? Do these have screen issues, or any of the like? Just don't want to buy a defective device. Thanks!

HTC = Great quality
No real problems it's such a solid phone, so much so that developer "Blue61X" has bought two of these phones.
a few people said they had dust under there screen but i doubt you need worry, enjoy your slide, its got some real great things going for it all of a sudden the development section here has gone from ~ none to a lot of awesome ROMs.

YES THERE IS ONE THING
Open up a few different boxes and feel the keyboards. We don't have the best keyboard on a phone, they are built strong and built to last, but make sure your specific phone has a keyboard you are content with. My friend has a mt4gs and his keyboard feels better than mine.
Also I just noticed u said ur getting a mytouch 4g, don't get the mytouch 4g, get the mytouch 4g slide =)

And. Get the anker 1900 mah 2 battery set that comes with the wall charger off of amazon.
This way u can keep one charging and one being used.
The stock battery gets hot, wears out fast, and the heat is bad for your phone in general.

Great phone, keyboard, front camera, good back camera, big screen, good processor. Overall its a good phone, only complaint is the genius button. I wish it was just regular search but you can change that if you're rooted.

Thanks guys! I've had good and bad luck with HTC in the past but this phone just looks amazing all around. I am buying this phone pre owned also. If I don't feel it's right, then I definitely won't move on it but I am excited to see what it has in store! Will update after I check it out.

The only real issue is battery life. If you can afford it, buy a Mugen; otherwise, get the Anker two-pack.

Got one!!
Gotta say overall I love it. Got it brand new, about a month old, for $160.
Here's why. The screen has the oh so lovely dust particles formed under the screen coming from the bottom left and shooting to the middle of the screen.
I thought HTC learned by now?! Either way, I'm happy and in my eyes i stole it from the guy.

you may be able to get the dust removed under warranty. All 4G Slides still have factory warranty from HTC.
Just check to make sure there's no water damage and that one of the screws on the back is covered by a VOID sticker.
Send it in!

Doesn't matter if you're not the original owner. Factory warranty starts from date the phone was manufactured
And if it happens again, at least you'll have a clean phone for the time being

I know this because I just sent my phone in. Took 5 days to ship out. It's going to Texas. They turned it around on the same day. I was amazed. But they do tell you repairs can take anywhere from 6-10 days not including shipping. I'm sure they just say that to stay safe.
You have to pay for shipping though. They will not provide a label.

Awesome. I've never done warranty before so I'm all new to that. I imagine I just ring them up and go from there?

I am not the original owner of the one I sent in.
Neither of mine have the dust issue - mainly because I keep them in cases.
I attached some pictures below - they are pocket sized cases, fit with the trident case around the phone, and have pockets for accessories and batteries.
The zipper on the cases keeps the dust out, and the outer nylon shell makes it slide in and out of my pocket easily.
Notifications are not muffled by the extra layers of fabric, the sounds pierce it quite well and is no different then being in your pocket, vibration works full as well.
Just a thought - but for something this expensive and tiny, I try to take as good care of it as possible.

Heh, well, I want to carry my recovery microsd card, which has a factory restore image on it and other recovery utilities...my usb thumb drive with all of my data, recovery tools and android SDK as well as portable programs on it...then there's the retractable USB cable and cigarette lighter adapter for a car...
The only thing I can't fit in the primary case (black/grey) is an ac adapter, but the rest fits and it's nice and slim.
The other case (red/grey/black kodak) has the second device, video cable, ac adapter and the factory usb cable. It's a bit bulkier, and not my daily travel - but still fits in an upper pants pocket without trouble.

slippery grip -> cracked screen

Pretty sure most of you can tell where I am heading with this thread based on the title. I personally find the One S has a rather thin and slippery grip on the side, and I am wondering if the fellow One S owners share similar sentiments.
I had the phone for about 2.5 weeks or so, and was totally loving it, except the fact that I always had a hard time getting a good grip with the phone in my hand. One day, I accidentally dropped the phone, from maybe not more than 3ft high. And unfortunately the screen completely cracked. I was extremely upset, partially at myself for not using a screen protector, but more so at HTC.
Phone is not covered by T-mobile's warranty (no insurance), HTC could not even give me a quote for repair due to the phone was just released. So now I have arguably the latest and best android phone in the market collecting dust at home.

Sorry to hear, dude - was this the grey version?
I don't think a screen protector would have helped you as they're more to protect from scratches, not impact.
Did you buy it with a credit card? If so, you may have insurance without even knowing it.

Dude thats so bad
I new i would break my phone if i didnt get a case... after a few minutes it was slipping out of my hand...
The design is awesome, but they should have implemented so rubber grips down the sides or something..
Anyway, if you do get it fixed...... GET A CASE !! its the best thing i ever bought

Check the House Insurance (if you have it) you may be covered....mine is!
Edit:
Ebay are selling the screens

I know Discover cards have a insurance clause on some of their stuff so you should check that out like the other guy said . . but yea it's slipped out of my hands onto my jeans countless times because of the lack of grip lol .. that's why i bought a case first thing ..and as for screen protectors i've cracked 3 phones with them on (one with a case on as well) so they don't really help from drops and places should tell you that when you buy it too

Can u post a pic of the damage

I just got my New One S today as I bricked mine.

My wife just dropped her One S.... Screen cracked but I'm within the 14 day insurance purchase from T-Mobile. Just got off the phone and within a few weeks we'll warranty the phone. Looking at about 100-120 after all it's a said and done. Needless to say we're lucky on this one.

I dropped my iphone4 a countless of times on concrete and the glass never shattered. I dropped my 1S a couple of times already on ceramic tiles and still nothing except that MAO paint problem.
I think cases are butt ugly and a waste of money. I wouldn't even go for the 1S if I was going to use a case. Seriously put a 1S in a case and what does it have over the SGS3 or the 1X?
Anyway just my opinion

i actually dont believe in phone case either becuz i think they make the phone look ugly and bulky, thus ive never bought phone cases.
however, due to this phone being so thin and slippery, I felt like a grippy phone case is a must have. after surfing around the web for a little while, i found diztronic matte back phone case. Just got the case today and i love it!
high quality case, its made of TPU so it has a good amount of grip. All the holes are cut out perfectly (it doesnt cover any speaker/mic/sensor opening). The case is also thin so it doesnt make my phone bulky (sure it makes ur phone look a little thicker, but it's not a bad compromise at all). And last but not least, i really dig the look of the case, very well designed in my opinion. It also come with a screen protector in case anyone needs one.

And this is exactly why I'm putting a case on my phone for the first time ever. Sorry to hear about your phone mate.
Sent from the future using the Tardis

I've checked online and seen it listed but can I just verify that this phone has Gorilla Glass 1/2? Obviously, that doesn't make it crack proof but I work construction and end up putting my phones through their paces and found that my Milestone (Gorilla Glass) held up a fair bit better than my Desire Z (no Gorilla Glass).
And yes, in my situation a case (And insurance) is a necessity on a three year contract.

I've had the phone for all of 5 days. it fell from my hand as I put something down on a rock, litterally no drop whatsoever, but it slid a whopping 6 inches down the rock on it's face and the screen cracked and scratched. if it is supposed to have gorilla glass, I was gypped. I have no renters insurance and didn't buy it with a credit card, but I do have a plan.
-get the insurance from t-mobile, as I'm withing the 14 days
-enjoy not caring about the phone for the next 6 months
-pay the 130 for a replacement through asurion
-sell new phone for 400+ (if the release of the S3 doesn't drop the market value too much)
-buy Galaxy S3

oh, just to rub salt in the wound, when I got home, today, after cracking the screen, my dritztronic case, with screen protector, was in my mailbox... mocking me...

Get one of these TPU cases, very minimal and offers a good grip, easy to take on and off and has a ever so slightly raised edge around the front so even if you drop it face first the screen won't impact any surfaces. I got the clear one with the curved sand blasted part. I think I paid like $9 shipped and it came within a week.

Thanks
Thanks everyone for all the sympathetic and constructive replies. Unfortunately the phone is just right over the 14day US T-mobile insurance, and my credit card does not provide any.
I never believed in cases either, always thought it kills the design of the phone, but after this incident, I may think differently. Such a shame though, it's a such a slick looking phone WITHOUT the case. I am considering writing a complaint email to HTC, not sure if it will do any good, but worth a shot.
I had also checked screen replacement online, but they are still in the $150-$200 range.

I doubt HTC is going to help you. You dropped it, and therefore are responsible. Yeah, it SUCKS.
Also, I'm surprised that this screen is Gorilla Glass, based on these reports of cracking. What's the point of Gorilla Glass if it breaks just as easy? I know it's scratchproof, but it's also supposed to be much more resistant to breaks.

LOL at the plan BUT what i've learned through all the warranty exchanges i did with my G2x is just call tmobile tell them the phones fine (physically) make up something so they send u out a new one and when they find out its cracked or water damaged or whatever they charge you $74.03 which is almost half of asurion or w.e the company is .. i cracked the F outta my g2x told them it was overheating and they sent me a new one called me in a couple days saying my screens cracked and they're charging me $74.03 just if you wanted my sources it's legit

It's what they SHOULD be doing..seriously. But to explain the process:
Call tmobile
Ask for technical support
Tell them "i don't know what's wrong with my phone, the touch screen isn't working on certain parts and it keeps freezing and calling people on its own" or make up any other non physical issue you can think of.
They'll make you trouble shoot the phone and just play dumb and stick to your "my phone isn't working" excuse
Then the technical support person will tell you "okay, we're going to send you a phone exchange and you just send back the one with issues" they'll ask you if the phone has any PHYSICAL or WATER damage... SAY NO. They'll tell you if they find any damage they will charge you ___ which as the previous poster stated is A LOT cheaper charge than anything the insurance or htc or anyone else will bill you for. You might have to pay for the shipping of the new exchange and that's it.
(and if you end up getting nervous about this and chicken out when the new phone gets to you... just send the same phone back... tmobile sends you a little white box and inside that white box is the shell of the "new" phone with a pre labeled mailing slip and a little sticker to seal the box up again...no big deal)
Make sense?

AHHHHH Shattered screen

So I destroyed my first smartphone. I suppose it's pretty good since I have carried a smartphone since the original iPhone, but I forgot my phone was in my pocket and when I took off my pants it slipped out of the pocket and landed face down on the tile floor totally shattering the screen.
My question is has anyone had to send their phone to HTC for screen replacement? If so what did it cost. I don't want to do it myself and void the warranty just in case anything happens to it in the future.

Did u buy insurance? Because mine did the same and it was about $190 to fix and the deductible would be $199 so I claimed insurance instead. Hope that helps, good luck.

Sent mine in on the 20th, got a quote a week later and finally got it back today. $220, shipping included.

Unfortunately I did not. Insurance wasn't available when I got my iPhone and I never thought to add it when it became available; but I can guarantee you I will have it once I get it back from repairs.

As long as your in your first month you can add insurance otherwise your out of luck

Wow, that hurts to look at. Sorry for your bad luck. :-( I already gave mine a pretty good knock by dropping it into my front jeans pocket where it always goes. I was leaning against a desk, and it slipped down and smacked against the desk through the cloth at the bottom of the pocket. I guess I'm gonna put a case on it, which is too bad since it looks so great naked (and the power button is already hard enough to hit!)

Son of a B!&*$! I read this last night and thought how bad I felt for you, then I got out of my car at work this morning and my phone went flying out of my hand and landed right on the screen. Full spider web glass. I too have been using a big glass screen also since the first iPhone and this is the first break so I guess I am lucky??
Any idea where to go to get the glass changed? Do we send it off to HTC?
P.S. I ordered the Otterbox yesterday because it is finally available in black. Guess I should have got that ugly blue one to hold me over.

Son of a B!&*$! I read this last night and thought how bad I felt for you, then I got out of my car at work this morning and my phone went flying out of my hand and landed right on the screen. Full spider web glass. I too have been using a big glass screen also since the first iPhone and this is the first break so I guess I am lucky??
Any idea where to go to get the glass changed? Do we send it off to HTC?

Totally sucks. I am sending mine in to HTC for repair because it is less than a month old and I don't want to void the warranty by doing it myself but; you can get the glass for it for around $50 if you want to try it yourself.

I just watch a screen replacement online... Which convinced me that sending it back is the right thing to do, especially while it is under warranty. The crummy thing for me is that I have already been to AT&T with this phone to get it warranty replaced because of constant data drops and wifi issues but they did not have any in stock so I am playing the waiting game. Now I have to pay $200 to replace the screen of a phone I will be ditching as soon as it gets back.
Note to Everyone: GET A RUGGED CASE! my hard shell was no match for a relatively small fall, I am sure this would have held up in the Otterbox I have always had on my phones.

I have the Benks Magic Cookies case. It is really a nice case but it doesn't offer any protection on the glass at all. This is more of a keep scratches off the back case, not at all a shock protection case. I knew that when I got it, this just put an exclamation point behind that idea. I planned on using it as my "not at work go out to dinner type case" but with how easily this broke I think I will use the otterbox exclusively when it gets here.

I see. Well that sucks. I was actually debating whether to get that one before buying my bestbuy case.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Spare Frames

I just spoke to Spigen and they said they will begin selling frames separately this month. Hopefully they'll be fair on pricing as i'd like to have a few different colors to switch out every once and a while.

$10 for each

aight you are just like my wife, i hope she doesn't she get to know. she'll want all colors.

I'm awaiting my case.
What I find funny though is that Spigen is selling the frames separately, which is a good thing for color choice, while customers are reporting that their frames are peeling and breaking.
Hmmm.....a self sustaining market.
I'm paying $30+ for a case and I don't expect it to fail in a short period of time, if at all.
Time will tell, but so far the comments are not leaning towards the positive side.

Yeah, mine actually peeled.
I had the neohybrid ex for my s2 and it still like new.
Whereas this time round it peeled barely even one month after use.

I love my neo hybrid but one drop and my frame split. I ordered a real one and when it hit the floor on is corner it cracked then split. I tried super glue but because you have to squeeze the frame on it always splits.
I would like if spigen sells the frames cheaper because now I want new colors plus the one I broke. Im using a fake UAG now and im loving it.

Hm that sucks guys, maybe I've had good luck with mine. I've dropped my Neo Hybrid an effing ton all over the place and the frame is still scratchless and no paint has come off

I don't think they'll do squat about this.
There's a warning not to separate frame from the TPU/Silicone. They'll probably try to blame it as user inflicted damage.
