Me and my wife both have the htc 8x for tmobile and about 10 minutes ago her screen literally exploded... I am just wondering if this is a common issue or what needs to be done. I know how to replace the screen and what not but this is really confusing me. And she was laying on the bed with it sitting on her chest not plugged in or anything. It looks as if someone hit it with a hammer or it fell square on a rock. Any input is appreciated.
This is the first I have ever heard about something like that happening to this device, but it sounds like a manufacturing defect. I'd try and get it replaced under warranty.
Semi-related, but someone else on the Verizon forums has his Gorilla Glass phone spontaneously explode as well. When he contacted Corning, they wanted him to send it in so they could investigate. https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/772042?start=6
Yeah it was weird... She was about 10 feet or so away and it madt an audible pop. It blew glass all over her. We were able to put the bigger pieces back on and tape it over but still... The phone was new in box like 2 weeks ago.

I'm not trying to question your account because it is definitely bad either way. But I am confused regarding the first post that says she had it on her chest on the bed, and your latest post saying she was 10 feet away? Trying to visualize what happened.

Found this thread on googles forums where users are claiming that cracks are "just appearing" for no reason, that they wake up and the crack fairy has paid them a visit. Just sounded a little off.

I guess it is physically possible if there is a lot of stress in the glass for whatever reason. But IMHO it's more likely they dropped it and spontaneously developed amnesia so they can get a replacement.

I've had this happen on a S3. The phone itself felt really fragile when I bought it tho. Here is what happened - I dropped the phone on some tile, picked it up and it was absolutely fine. 24 hours later i'm playing with it - still fine- and then fall asleep. I wake up and it has a huge crack across the screen.
My theory is that the initial drop weakened the glass and it then cracked while I was sleeping from temperature changes or something. Either way it didn't matter, credit card company replaced it for me for free. The replacement felt strong as a rock compared to the original. Anyways, It pays to discover!

Maybe the temperature difference made it crack. That happened before with the nexus 4.
They probably had it in the freezer trying to run benchmarks after turning off the thermal limit or whatever.

Today the glue filled into the C that is engraved in the back of the phone came out. I'm kinda an HTC fanboy so this left me pretty upset.... My camera lens is also really scratched up. Has anyone dealt with this issue and how was it handled?

Someone else mentioned this happening. HTC offered to fix the phone which meant the owner would be without the device for ~10 days. You may look into seeing if VZW will swap it out.

Yes the post title was "HTC is a joke" I believe. discussion surrounded the rma process.

Slickwraps sells lens protectors, but that's probably a moot point since it's already scratched. However, buying some protection might help prevent further damage.
It started to move in its socket a few weeks back and today it popped out when I took off my sweater.. Anyone else had it go this far?

Had mine for two months no broke
yeah, mine does that. it still stays in the socket. i need to put some clue before it jumps out!
Sent from OPO.
Mine did that I sent it to Sony and they replaced mine. I had to send my eBay receipt of purchase and it was a new unit.
Mine unstick again after having already been changed once Very bad quality of Sony SW2 !
Have mine for 5 months now and fortunately don't have that problem.
Mine keeps falling apart..
Still going good after almost a couple of years Had to use some glue about a year ago, Had no issues ever since. Battery Still holding 3 days charge with a lot of notifications. Overall this smartwatch has proven a good choice for me.
Kudos to Sony.

I've glued mine up a few days ago. The lid on the charger socket fell off, but the rubber/plastic part was still in, so I couldn't charge it. Also glued the watch to its frame as I already had the glue at hand. Battery is still holding 3 days for me. Indeed a good choice!
Just received my Pro and have an issue with the seal around the screen. There is some pieces sticking out and near the grill in the second pic you can see that the distance from the grill to the screen isn't consistent. Concerned about water and dust.
Anyone else have this issue?
I've contact 1+ and they want me to send the phone back for them to look at it and decide if it deservers replacement. They said it could take 7-10 days, 12gb/256gb models are 9 days out right now so I figure it will be longer. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks basically. They can't cross ship even if I put down a deposit for the second phone.
Any suggestions?

Dude go see my post I just made in this forum. Run away, 90 hz isn't worth this.
Is this something you just noticed or is this something you typically inspect for with you get your phone(s)?
No issues on mine. Did you drop your phone OP? Is that even a oneplus 7 pro?
Yes it is and I just barely took it out of the box when I took the pic.

I just got back from exchanging mine. I didn't have a seal issue but my issue was the screen colors started to appear washed out after about 3 days of use. At first I thought it was maybe a setting or something until I rebooted into fastboot and recovery. The white text also appeared washed out on there. It was definitely a hardware issue. The screen eventually became an all yellow tint and was completely unresponsive to any touch input. I'm hoping it was just a lemon and I have better luck with my new one.
My device also is flawless on both sides. Great build quality as always when buying a Oneplus.
But yours definitely looks kind of odd and personally it would totally freak me out.
All of the sudden this morning started peeling off from the center. There is hard bump under this spot from day 1 when you fully open the hinge. Now what? Remove completely or take it to the Samsung service center to apply new one? The whole purpose of keeping this phone because of beautiful big screen is now gone. Time to dust off my "old" Note 20 Ultra?

That sucks.
This why I loathe these phones.
I would send it back to Samsung; don't make their mistakes yours.
Personally I'd press them for a full refund.
This technology isn't ready for prime time.
No more exploding batteries but still the Fold screens continue to fail...

Just peel it off and install an aftermarket one. It is so much better than what the phone came with. That's what I did and I love it. Took me about 7 protectors til I found one I liked. I'm partial to the matte ones. The screen is resilient, i just yanked mine off. Some leave it off and have never been happier.

There shouldn't be any bumps underneath. There could be some small particle lodged in there. Go to the service center, get them to repair under warranty or better yet, ask for a replacement or refund.
