In case : repeatedly, but no harm done..
Wothout case: Only once, and it got scratched on the front near the Bluetooth led and near the answerbutton below.
No errors !
dropped it once. the point of impact was directly on the yellow/red led which pushed the led inside the XDA2. no errors occurred. but i'm pissed!
you're all lucky buggers, i've dropped my xda twice in the last year. First time it cracked the screema nd had to replace that, and dropped it again this morning and the screen's messed up but not cracked, how do you lot get away with it, i didn't even drop it from a great distance and it was a capeted floor
Why i am asking the times you dropped it, beacouse mine was dropped a miniut ago. i was so nervous and worried. but there is no scratches or errors, when the time it was dropped, it restarted and search for something i found bad, but there is nothing bad happens, still i am worried and nervous.
if there's nothing obvious just after you drop it, chances are you're lucky and it'll be fine
Dropped it 5-6 times (Im not clumsy, really, Ive had it for 10 months now ), always in the standard case, which offers little protection on the sides, resulting in a number of scratches to the device on the sides. No errors however, seems like a tough enough device. If I put on a new cover it will be as good as new
Surur
i dropped my device once and a little peace of the black plastic is cracked.
Who knows where i can get the black peace from the back site of the phone? I have search here in the Netherlands but doesn't find it yet
Dropped the XDA I in its case dozens of times, no real damage. Unfortunately, I have been carrying the XDA II in the old case, and it fell out twice now and hit the pavement naked. No functional damage, but sure scratched it up.

The crack in the black plastic was probably not from the drop. A buddy and myself had the crack develop by the power button and then aother to where it made the piece fall out. Neither of us had dropped ours at that time. Since then only twice in the case. One no damage, second hit the corner by the voice recorder button. Drop on the pavement from about 2 1/2 feet. No functional damage but the silver part is definatley got the marks to show...
Dustoff
seriously, how do you buggers get away with scratches when mine always gets damage i have to pay for, i'd give anything to know taht if i drop if it won't cost me a penny
I have quick reactions and have always managed to stick my foot under it to cushion the fall.
lol, i have steel toe capped boots, i think it would be slightly worse
I dropped mine on concrete . . . no cover . . . naked. The antenna cover (black plastic) cracked diagonally up from the record button to the top of the back and then back down past the external antenna connector. It seems to be holding fast and working perfectly - but at some point I am going to want to replace it.
i dropped mine of a roof and its still works just damage to my case on the corner next to my green light so if anyone knows how to get a new one please let me know
a roof? this get's better, mine fell off a bed and it's buggered
i've never dropped mine. Didn't know I was supposed to.

It's not Gorilla Glass. HTC doesn't use Gorilla Glass *someone here suggested they did for the MT4G, they didn't*
Well Iguess its not glass, either way cab I still do manufacture warranty or is it only for software

That's some pretty hard carpet you got there. Man up! You dropped it on the floor.
Sorry to hear that.

No if I dropped it on the floor I would of said that, no point in lieing. I have no scratches just a straight line on the the screen
First, i would install some under padding at your place. Second, do you have the $5/mo insurance on the phone? That will help you. I don't know what to say otherwise but I'm truly baffled on how dropping it on carpet busted your phone. Did it bounce off a tall stairwell first "Brady Bunch" style?
did you get the protection plan with the phone. it's 5.99 a month? with that plan you can get a new one no matter what... without it your SOL
It fell from out my pocket while i was siting on my computer chair. I was naturly pissed the fu#% off seeing how it was not that high I have the insurance but it will cost 130 just to replace a cracked screen.. Was wondering if there was a chapter method
Suggestion for you, sine you have 14 days to add insurance do so and report a claim. manufacture warranty will not cover drops.

I know it's not gorilla glass but geez, a drop to the carpet = cracked screen?
How high of a drop? How hard was the carpet?
Wow...that sucks...on carpet none the less. Did you roll over it with your chair?
The reason I ask, is the very day I got it and was at home that evening, I had it on the bar in our kitchen because my daughters were looking at it...they got to messing around and my oldest daughter pushed our youngest. when she fell off the bar stool, she flung her arm and hit my phone off. It flew across the kitchen, bounced off the cabinet door and fell screen down on the ceramic tile floor. The battery door flew off and I completely expected to be making a post like yours for sure...my daughter picked it up, put the battery cover back on and put the phone back on the bar face down. As I was in the middle of cutting chicken, it took me about 5 minutes before I could go look...nothing at all, the phone is in perfect shape, no evidence of a fall at all.
I guess all it takes is one well angled drop to either be the end or the saving grace for any glass screen
Sorry to hear about the drop. Asurion is the 3rd party insurance and it's $4.79/mo on my bill, plus a $150 deductible for physically damaged phones. They'll ship it out to you next day usually.
You can also go back to the Tmo store and plea with them to exchange it. Maybe they can say that they dropped it or something like that. Good luck!

It's Gorilla Carpet! It probably hit where the most weight of the phone had the most impact and made it most vulnerable.

Actually I'm suspicious that your phone's screen had a fracture in it when you got it. No matter what kind of glass it is, it shouldn't have cracked so eaily. That would be my argument to the retention department when I wholeheartedly threaten to cancel subscription for making me pay for a phone that obviously had a flawed screen out of the box. Be firm, honest and be respectful. You just might get a replacement.
Are you sure it is a crack? Are you sure it wasn't there when you got it? I'm not even sure it is possible to crack glass from that height onto carpet without some sort of preexisting defect...

Screw honest, if the fall on Carpet did no exterior damage, go in there tell em there is a crack in the screen. Especially if your in your 14 days and you want a new one.
Having absolutely NO exterior damage might allow you to play innocent and ask for an exchange at the store. If that doesn't work, call retention.
has anyone disassembled a G2X yet? My touch screen looks like a spider web after a very small fall. I was shocked it was destroyed so easy. It fell straight on the face about a foot and a half drop. Anyway, can get a replacement for just over $50. Thought I might tackle it. Are there any diagrams etc..for disassembly?
Thanks in advance....
Hi all,
Do you know if you can replace the nylon corners on the Z3? Dropped it on the corner and got a nasty ding, but rest of phone is perfect, just the corner is damaged. Don't mind paying Sony to do it, as long as it's not so expensive. Just not sure if it's possible.
Thanks!

I am imterested in this as well. If anyone has any info

I dropped my phone and also would want to know where to have these replaced.
They can be replaced.
So... Is it Sony that can replace them? I have a small dent in one corner. Anyone know where the phone is sealed? I would guess it is behind the nyloncorner as it is ment to take off for the fall?
Also curious. I dropped my phone onto a hardwood floor from 3,5 meters. Phone is fine but one corner has a crack on it. It´s barely visible but dont think it will take many more drops so this subject might come important for me.
What are you guys doing to drop your phones?

Other people write about droping the phone from 20cm and the screen cracked.
How in the world did your phone survive this?!?!?!
I guess the wooden floor was soft enough and rest was pure luck. Only the flaps opened and phone rebooted itself. I left the phone on a flat balcony railing and a minute later it dropped on its own because it is so slippery.
Btw it´s not the only time i dropped this phone on a wooden floor from hights more than 1 meter without any cases or covers. Durable phone.
Mine slid off a soft surface onto a tile counter top no more than 5cm, and the screen shattered. I can't say I agree that the phone is durable.
Id love to see some photos of drop damage. Do the nylon corners work as intended?
It is becoming clear that the Z3 is a phone you do not want to drop without a case on.

Isn't that true for all phones right now ?
Anyway, @op, could you provide pics of the affected area ? I'm curious to see how the nylon corners dealt with the damage, as Sony is advertising them as the saviour of Z3 in case you drop it.

Basically.. Although the Z3 has two pieces of glass, so the chances of one of them shattering is higher.
It's all about how lucky, or un-lucky you are on how it lands.
The days of Nokia 3310 are gone, only flagship phone that can really take a beating is the HTC One because of the speaker frames buffering the glass, so even corner impacts don't damage the screen.
So, anyone who actually had the corners on the phone replaced? Roughly how much did you pay?
One of my corners cracked after a drop yesterday, and the phone looks hideous now...
I must say that unlike what seems like most people experienced, I find the phone to be very durable.
I've dropped it several times from roughly 1-1,5 meters height, and only this one time any damage appeared - and it did not spread anywhere else than the corner.
I've attached pictures of the damage if anyone is interested. (Sorry for the extremely poor quality, apart from my phone I only have a ****ty webcam as camera...)

Where do you see Sony advertising the nylon corners for stopping damages? I would imagine rubber would help more than these hard nylon corners.
Did 1 of u manage to repair ? dent mine the same
Hello. Anyone has experience on the fix? A Taiwanese forum mentioned Sony replacement for NTD 5150 (about USD 165) as Sony representative said "the nylon caps are together with the screen/frame so everything has to be replaced". Ridiculous I would say.
Mine was more abrupt because it just slipped off the phone when I picked my phone up from sofa. Don't know if previous damage would have loosen it.
Does that affect waterproofing as well? My pressure test still positive though. Maybe I can just use super glue. Hmm. Update me please!

What previous damage?
One of my clients just informed me that a crack on the top left of the touchscreen of his S7 Edge caused the entire touchscreen to be completely inoperable. The entire screen was flickering like crazy. BE WARNED. I have not heard of anything like this before. Touchscreens are usually usable even if the entire screen is cracked.

Duh...
It all depends onthe way the phone falls. There are no proven examples that screen A will always survive because iti s only cracked a little and screen B will go dead at whatever conditions. Only probability and nothing else.
Lol sent from iphone.
Mines dropped and cracked on the back and a slight crack in the corner. touchscreen still works fine ... no worries tho my insurance phone will be here tomorrow yay ???
This is not an invite for personal stories of successful drops. I am bringing up a potential issue that people with this phone might not be fully aware of.

It's possible on any device. Like mentioned above, chances are that the way it dropped (force, speed, angle, etc) damaged the hardware and that the screen crack as nothing to do with it.
All in all, be careful gents, devices aren't indestructible

So I guess the moral of the story is, don't drop the phone, Of course nobody ever plans on dropping their phone. But if you are trying to say that if you drop the phone then the screen may break, and if the screen breaks then the touchscreen may fail, that's not news to anyone.
mine drop, still got case on...still work fine....lol
Should be more careful.
I once dropped my s7 edge and only once and it stopped working completely. I'll remember next time I'm 30ft up to secure my phone better. Can't believe 1 drop and my phone won't power on geeez Samsung must be making low quality phones now.I BLAME SAMSUNG
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Lol, not every single phone will be exactly the same, and the goes for any and all manufacturers of anything. My first S7 Edge I dropped like 5 times at waist height, a few lower, only a few cracks on the back glass and a few dents on metal edges. Not once did the front glass get scratched or dented thankfully. I ended up exchanging it for a new one since I had GSP and the MFG warranty. Granted I preordered mine and the way Best Buy had to do the GSP plans on those pre orders meant no matter what was wrong with my phone I didn't have to pay for a new one. Got an Otterbox Commuter case and my new ones been flawless I love Samsung. I've already swam with it in a 9 ft pool and no problems since. Granted like I said above, any company who makes anything, even electronics will unfortunately have some that can't take as much abuse since these things are mass produced.
what?
-_-
gotta be carefull than using this phone and don't forget to have an insurance for your phone.
i will be getting mine back from samsung tomorrow sent it in for mic not working when trying to talk on the phone but works ok on speaker phone or blue tooth
the report states they replace the lcd. to fix the mic not working here is a copy of it. also when the back cover was remove some how there was a crack on the back glass and camera glass they wrote it as abuse.WTF new back cover$70.00

My phone slid off a table that was maybe 4 ft high and caught one of the stabilizing bars (that connect table legs) on the way down. Entire screen cracked, mad flickering.
This is a very delicate phone. I have dropped smartphones before (without a case) and this is the first one in my history (starting with the original iPhone!) that got any serious damage from a fall. The other three people I know who own an S7e all cracked theirs in the first 3-4 months too. A case is a definite must.
As someone that works in this field, I lol'd. Its usable if you didnt crack the LCD or Digitizer. For simplicity sake lets say there are three layers, the glass your finger touch, the digitizer right under it, then the LCD. You crack either of the bottom 2 layers, you got a non-working phone. You crack the top glass, put something like tape or tempered glass over it, it'll work just fine.
me 2.. I will pay around 300 euro.
Your phone drop dead,?
You guys are also talking about dropping glass phones. Sure it's technically a plastic glass composite material, but they will crack with enough force. Like I said above, I dropped my first one like 5 times without a case and only got a few cracks on the back glass, the front has hit the ground at waist height several times and it never cracked which really surprised me that the back cracked but not the front. I definitely would get a case. The Otterbox Commuter case is really nice because it's tough but still slim enough for easy entry and removal of your pocket. And yes insurance plans like Best Buy's GSP is definitely a must for this price point.
Same happened to mine, a couple of low drops (1 bounce) with no external damage.
The display turned green and eventually died.
From the way the support centre answered, it seems that they have high numbers of this problem.
