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.

Hi,
I dropped my N1 some time ago; surprisingly enough after bouncing a couple times and sliding through concrete face-down, it still worked and was in top condition, no scratches on the screen. The bottom cover was dented though, with a piece of the black plastic layer showing.
I would like to know, is there any way to get one of those covers, to replace the damaged one? Apparently it's pretty easy to remove them.

Warranty? lol
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I don't think the warranty is going to cover damages caused by dropping the phone. I'm also abroad (writing from Spain) so probably sending it back is not an option.
HTC UK definitely have them, whether they'd ship you one is anyone's guess.

Definitely worth finding out. What would be the best way to contact them? By mail? By phone? Do they have a "replacements" department that I should address to?
Just call 'em I guess, mine was replaced under warrenty by them as it wasn't the best fit from factory.
i would call them if i were you.
i just got off the phone with HTC repair support. my battery cover was stained with ink and it wouldn't come off. jokingly i asked if that was covered by warranty, he said YES!!!
they are shipping me a new one this week, for free!!!
Given that the blotches on the antenna cover seem to be caused by the lovely little neoprene pouch, it's fair that it should be covered I reckon.
Just wanted to said that I called HTC UK this morning and they said I can send my phone for repair but I'll probably get charged since the scratch is my fault. I don't think I'll do that.
Disclaimer: this is not really my N1 sleeve but my camera sleeve. I just realized what a fool I am for buying a waterfield sleeve for $13 when I had a totally useful sleeve underneath my nose all this time.

can be found at Walmart baby section, 2 for $1. Puffy paint paws add traction so the phone doesn't slip on my dashboard when driving. Adds stealth. many colors to choose from.
Nothing like dressing up your $500 phone with a $1 child's sock from walmart

Damn i really feel the need to go buy some baby socks now =)...i will actually pick this up if i ever loose my sleeve
I can just picture it now, a month from now. Telling all my friends how much better my Nexus One is compared to their iphone or desire... and I pull a "baby ducky" sock from my pocket with my phone in it. Not only would it kill my credibility but also my chances of getting laid from here on out. Lets get real people.. Thats cute for a girl, not for a guy. I just hope the OP is a girl.
Sickening. The stock N1 sleeve is the coolest cell phone accessory ever made.
It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?
What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.
first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.
The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.
No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?

This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol
If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.
no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"
What's going on with my screen? There is like a blue sploch in the left upper corner of it?

Any help? This hasn't happened to my nexus s or anything else I own?
Looks like the lcd's bad. Still have warranty left?
Looks like a smurf had fun with your screen.
Send it in for warranty, you got a bad lcd.

Yeah I will see if I can get it replaced. Crap that's annoying

Contact them. They'll most likely need an IMEI number or serial..
You'll be fine. Do a titanium backup or nandroid backup and send it in.

Almost but the pattern looks too much like leaking fluid for me to think that. Also, I don't think LCD screens are effected by magnets like that. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not about to start dropping magnets on this one..

Moisture....you dip it in the stool?
Did you happen to install screen protector with an included fluid? Same happen to my Inspire me when I got little too generous with the fluid on the screen. But then I left it in a spot next to my radiated heater inside a paperback for overnight and it dried off and completely went away.
Has there been any excess pressure on the screen? That's really weird. I'm curious now LOL

Wow Hans...get a bit carried away?
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.
