I dropped my Universal yesterday. My fault. True.
And now it thinks there is always the headset in, so it's stuck and I can't answer the calls using the phone microphone, just bluetooth. And I can't hear the sms alert.
Again, my fault.
BUT it was already faulty, I had to put something in-out the heasdset hole because the sensor didn't work very well (it's a well known problem).
I should change the mother board, now, and I don't want to spend so much money. :evil:
Also because it happened to me to put the Universal in my pocket and... surprise, the screen was broken (substitution: round 150 Euro). Then I bought also a leather case to avoid this problem in the future.
I used to have a Sony UX50 (unfortunately NOT the Vaio UX50, same name, but it was Palm, not Windows XP) and I kept it with no prob in my pockets, and it fell down several times, surviving!
I'm not saying it should be unbreakable, of course, but my opinion is that a mobile device should be more robust. :?
Mate its all a matter of luck really. Im sure theres users on here like me who keep it in there pocket, who have knocked it around, and who have had some spills with it and theres still works fine. Well mine does. You people though who put them in your pocket and break the scrrens, id love to know what you are doing to have such an impact come down on your leg you break the screen.
Either that or your extraordinarily uncoordinated and walking into poles all day....in any case yours should be more durable, but you got unlucky unfortuntely.
This reminded of two anecdotes.
1) You're right, the sensor doens't work well. On my way to work the headphone jack slipped a quarter of a millimetre while I was listening to hardcore gangsta rap. You should have seen my face rushing for my pocket, desperatly trying to figure out what was happening. Even more shocked where the train passenger, having to listen to the Universal full blast :-D
2) I wouldn't call the the Universal flimsy, but it definitely doens't seem like the kind of device that could handle shocks well. I had 6 nokias and 3 motorolas before, and all 3 motos died (I'm rough with my devices ). The nokias where dropped off buildings and slammed against walls (don't ask) yet kept on soldiering. I would dare to subject the universal to the same treatment.
:lol:
:lol:
I decided to send my babe to Germany, where it came from, trying to resolve the problem.
In the meanwhile, I ordered the Nokia E61, by far an interesting smartphone (and, as you mentioned, Nokia phones are robust!).
My first Nokia, really amazing: wifi, bluetooth, 3g, latest symbian operating system.
If the Universal returns home, maybe I'll keep the Nokia as really "mobile" solution (that is in my pocket) and the Universal for business (taking notes, extensively browsing the web...)
Nokias, robust?
You obviously never had an 8210 lol
My wife and I really liked these phones when they came out so we had one each. We got through on average one a month. As I may have mentioned elsewhere in this forum, my wife doesn't do technology very well, walking into poles, dropping phones in toilets, coffee, beer, and other assorted disasters. I'm very careful with mine yet these 8210s seemed to be made of rice paper.
I'm now on my second HTC unit and the construction seems adequate, but not great. The hinge will be the first thing to go on my Uni, but that won't be because I'm rough with it, it just seems to be a weak point.
JasJar Universal screen broke for no apparent reason.
My JasJar was on a hotel bed. On moment I was playing with it. Put it down. Picked it up in a few minutes and the screen was broken and leaking liquid internally.
In this same hotel My little girl previously pissed on a imate PDA2.
Bad luck places aside. I had nokias 9X00 series the calm shell pda type. Those are much stronger than most HTC stuff.
I mean I paid lots and I mean lots of money for the JasJar, really as far as I know it is THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOBILE WITHOUT REAL DIAMONDS IN IT. And we get a flimsy case. The cover of the LCD is very weak. Very.
Take care of your HTCs.
Really HTC the next JasJar should be stronger and have more ram. Hello, we are buying the most geeky phone, a little more ram will really help. Wimps may be able to live on less ram but someone who buys jasjar would not.

Just shows how different people can have different experiences. I still have an 8210 and it's by far the toughest phone I've ever had. (admittedly I've got it in a G-shock type cover I found online, but that's been soaked, thrown about, crashed on a motorcycle etc etc and still works fine. (Admittedly it's the 2nd one I had - the screen became faulty on the first).
the good ol 8210s I had mine for so long, actually I had mine for about 1.5 years but then my mum had it for over 3 years. So 4.5yrs out of the one phone and during that time it had been pounded and dropped a hundred dozen times.
Such tiny phones, simple phones. The old days hey.
memories....
Most solid ever would have been my nokia 3310. That thing was shaped like a brick but was also solid as a brick. I dropped it hundreds of time, one time it even went completly under a car! I also threw it away as hard as I could against a wall (I get mad sometimes :evil: ). Well, short of a few cracks in the cover, that phone still works today.
It doesn't resist water though, a friend of mine swam with his ( :lol: ) and the poor thing worked for like a few hours then stopped.
I had a huge fit of anger today and threw my X1 down on the floor. It bounced off the carperted floor, and hit the steel wall of my cubicle. The battery cover flew open and the battery flew out.
The slider is now loose. I went to the SE service center and they said that they've to import a part from Sony to fix my phone.
Luckily no more issues. everything else works fine, no cracks and paint peeling off.
Can I ask the reason you throw your X1 is because of the phone or work? I have a sudden urge to throw my X1 too as it kept hanging on me...
Ouchies!
Hopefully everything works out with parts replacement,
..and whatever you where angry for
Haha... Your story amused me. I'm glad it survived I once threw my cell-phone in rage with full force into a brick wall, drunk, late at the night of my graduation... Hehe. It smashed into pieces. That was ten years ago though, and it was no big loss since it was a big old clumpsy Nokia that hit the dust
Get anger management courses.
wht else, girl problems, can't live with them, can't live without them
Everrything else works fine though, and it'll take 6-7 days for the new part to be shipped. Have to wait till that.
But 1 point i'd like to make, after the most of man handled, not even scratch or a crack... and mine is 08W44.... can anything be deduced from tat?

Glad to hear it survived mate, I threw an old nokia 6210 at a stone wall back in the day when they were new (same reason as you. women, eh?), and it somehow survived... I doubt my beloved x1 would survive such a collision but I also doubt that I'll let myself get that heavy handed with this phone
I've broken an NEC in half using just my hands.
It all depends on who you're dating I suppose.
Oh, and I've slammed the receiver of a normal cord telephone onto a desk so hard it broke off the whole earpiece. Same girl. Looong time ago.

It is because girl issue is more interesting(and exciting) than our sexy X1
if your willing to thow a phone over a girl its time to get a different chick.
now i agree the x1 is very sturdy my phone has taken acouple falls. all of them battery cover and battery came out of the phone it self. the pices were acouple feet apart. minor scratches in the plastic ring around the 3.5mm jack and my batt cover is scratched. my slider is still nice and stiff and i have no peeling plastic, no cracks. have had the phone for almost 2 months and goes through more usage then phone reviewers review phones.
My phone about 2 phones ago hit the wall with max force I remember.
During a night shift, for some reason I had a moment of blind rage
What sucked was that all my contacts was stored on the cell and it was totally destroyed =(

Pro tip: Don't throw $800 phones, least of all because of girl problems. In fact, show off the $800 phone to attract more girls (and more girl problems ^^).
As for me, I never throw my phones but it's good to know that it's durable; I always carry my phone in my left pocket, and when I'm skateboarding my left leg is almost always forward (in other words, when I fall I tend to land on it or it will eject from the pocket if I'm going very fast). My SE K550i survived plenty of falls, let's hope that X1's quality construction does the same.
Dropped my blackstone last night, head height onto concrete!
Its fine except for bad scuff on housing by sync connector, lucky or what.
Paul.
Lucky for falling on the sync connector(not screen) and Touch HDs good construction!!
Good construction?
remember the 3310's ?
you could drop em of 2 stories high and re-attach the battery and cover and you were good to go.. Wouldnt want to do that to my HD..

solid casing-- agree on that (cuz the phone aint going in screw when you try to bend it, but it squeaks a lot) but it is much more solid than a lot of phones that I have held in my hand(not the hardest of them, but still..) its quite solid for a device at that size , just compare it to some PDAs with screen atleast 3.5 inches large-- not all of them are solid but some are more solid---- but those all were of course my thoughts!!
Splashed it!
Ive treated my Touch HD like a puppet for the last two months, then I leave it on the table at a friend's house for five minutes while I go to the loo and some idiot splashes wine or something over it...
For a day the phone thought it had headphones plugged in, and now the power button doesn't work. Guess I should be grateful that that's all, but I kinda feel like someone plucked the leg off my new puppy
Appears to be no real point to this thread. Yes you dropped phone and it had a bad scuff. You haven't actually asked for anything

Hello there.
At first, I'm german and this is my school english and i wasn't realy good at school, so i'll try my very best and hope it will be readable.
I have my HD2 now for 5 month so it near to the half year.
As you know it'S not the cheapest thing in the world i had a few moments with it when i thought to myself: "God how stupid was that?".
The first moment i was thinking that was in the first week of using my HD2.
It was in the morning. standing in front of the mirror in the bath i had my hd2 under the mirror runing some music for a better start in the day. It stood upright beacause of the rubber end that i was thinking it will give enough grip to hold it right there. i was brushing my teeth and at the and i turned on the water spit out the crap and then it happend. i thing there was condensate unter my HD2 and the grip was suddenly gone. know you have to imagine slowmotion. my hand goes to the water-tap as i wanted to turn of the water. right in that moment the HD2 slipped off from the frame above the washbowl.it arived in the moment when the water stoped an the last drop was gone. there was my HD2 in the washbowl dry as the desert and looked into my face as it wants to say " you know that was lucky you stupid ashole". And that was exact that what i was thinking right in that moment.
no scratch and not a tiny drop of water on it. that was nearly a miracle.
the second time was very evil. i had to add the fact that i have a cat.
so i thougt, make it save to carge my HD2 and searc the highest point in the house. so i put it on top of my closet. i thought that the cat would never get up there and know the suprising thing in this story. the cat didn't got up there ever. to be true the cat didn't have anything to do with that .
i was in another room and then i heard that sound i never heard before. i never heard it because i didn't know the sound of vibrating HD2 on my hardwood closet. then there was another sound. i think it was the sound of a faling HD2 and the alu cover flewing around the room.
as i got aware of that i went into the room my HD2 was charging and it was on the floor screaming for help. so what happend was i didn't expect that the vibration of a incoming call was that hard, that my HD2 could fall of the closet. so it falls 2 meters down throws the back cover away and that was all. No scatches no broken display nothing. just the back cover falls of. the phone was still ringing and the first thing i said to my mother who was calling : "you nearly broked my HD2". I will never put it on top of anything. from that day on i'll charge on the floor.
so i've had a few moments like this and till today there is nothing broken or scratched. when i clean the disply it looks like fresh out of the box. so i think im the stupidest HD2 user on earth and i'm happy that this thing is the strongest phone i ever had. the first time i think that the mony was good invested.
so what about your storys?
ps.: hope my english wasn't that bad.
Guten tag lokiderelb!
Your English is certainly better than my school German!
I personally have a story from less than a few minutes ago.
I popped the HD2 on my work desk (which is quite smooth and slippery) next to my keyboard, and near the edge of the desk.
I did think to myself it was a bit near to the edge, but the keyboard is in the way, so I can't knock it, right?
What did I do? I knocked it, *with the keyboard* and it bounced off the desk, onto the handle of my chair, onto the foot of the chair, then onto a solid floor.
About a metre off of the floor, with several obstacles along the way
It ended up screen-down on the floor, a wash of fear went through me as a million pictures of smashed HD2s and iPhones* flashed before my eyes, like my life would in a near death experience...
I picked it up, making sure I didn't run it over with my chair (that would be my luck!) and slowly turned it around. Now, you know you get that fear wash through you, and a much better wash of relief? Well I got the latter.
My HD2 is now firmly on my desk, right in the middle!
* (my mate has broken several iPhones like that)
I can hear my heartbeat while reading your story
I wonder where is the limit to get this phone broke.
I saw pictures of broken displays and everyone knows the "knife vs HD2" movie on youtube. (i never will be able to give that a try).
ps.:thanks for the compliment.
I bought one.

there comes a nice thin leader cover with it and most of the time i don't use the hd2 its in there, but to get the hole expirience of this device you can't keep it inside of any case, even it won't be very comfortable.
but my long time expirience with HD2 makes me wonder if i could ever broke it.

With all due respect, just because you dont agree with my opinion, it doesnt make it invalid and it doesnt make it spam.
It was just meant to be a bit of humour about my regret of having purchased this phone.
So than it was ment ironic or some other kind of humor. But it would have been easier to understand with some of these --->
I got over excited on the day got it and nearly bricked it by flashing, funny thing is been flaahing my T/diamond 1 & 2 for ages lol, luckily this website saved my ass
Okay. Here's my story.
I like to listen to music a lot with my HD2. it was after 2 weeks of owning the device, (TMOUS), and I JUST took off the silicone case it came with because it made it hard for me to slip HD2 in and out of my jacket pocket.
Anyways, I was listening to music with the pair of earbuds connected to the device, and I saw this stray cat right in front of me. The cat was friendly for some reason, and started to rub on my legs.
So i bent over to pet the cat.
As I bent over with my arm extended, the earbuds pulled my phone from my pocket, and since I was leaned forward, the phone slipped out!
I haven't experienced that kind of slow motion yet, but it happened. I immediately moved my handto follow the device, but my hands were too slow or far away to save the phone from hitting the asphalt road.
At the last second my foot somehow moved on its own, and broke the fall.
I have a slight scratch on the corner of the phone, but it's pretty concealed with the case.
I'm NEVER taking off the case again.
Put my digital camera back on the desk without really looking... oops, actually on the HD2 that was exactly at the same place. Got 2 scratches on the screen from the screws on the camera bottom, after 3 weeks...
LOL Funny stories. Well, my story is short and it doesn't have a happy ending. I went for a walk and used my 4 day old HD2 as an "MP3 Player". I pulled it out of my pocket and dropped it face down on the sidewalk. CRACK. The glass shattered. The end. The moral of the story is, a touchscreen phone is not a "walkman". One fumble and it's going for expensive repairs.
Funny/sad stories This is for the HD1, so apologies for cheating, but it was still in the last year (October)
I cancelled my phone insurance two months into owning my HD. That very day I left it on an outdoor table with friends for one minute while I popped to the loo. This was the very first time I'd decided not to treat it like a real-life baby, and I paid for it, because I returned to a phone dripping in beer and my friend with a very guilty expression.
It survived almost working for three months, but then I got annoyed and got the HD2
Anyway, anyone want to buy an HD1? It's in excellent condition

Sorry.
Haha that was an awesome story! but cmon, you cant blame your mum for it hehe
I was just thinkin before i read the post that someone will say "i bought one" and lo behold some one did. if you dont like the phone, RETURN IT or give it to me! i wont mind having two hd2s!
i was browsing on the web..
while i waiting the youtube buffer( the internet here so slow....)
i hand on my hd2 and start a movie clip..
i was also charging my itouch with that d*mn broken cable
because of something i want to put back my hd2 on the desk
and i touched that d*mn cable and i get electrocuted
and my hd2 fell to the floor so hard...
since then, i charged my itouch far away from my hd2
sorry for bad english
Bent
I crushed it in the car door. Now the LCD is cracked and the chassis(?) is bent so the battery cover won't fit. Does anyone know if its worth selling it for spare parts (e.g. camera module/buttons/batteries)?
Well, I bought a Case-mate Barely There for HD2 and put it on. And for the 1st time put it off it nearly scratched my HD2 corner. I returned it right away. That's my only sad story
Can anyone with the HTC One in black confirm that it does not scuff like the paint on the iPhone 5? I currently have an iPhone 5 and it will suck to go to another phone that is painted black.
Not seen anyone with a black HTC One yet on these forums but if they exist I am sure they will let you know.
There is a short video on YouTube that answers this. I can't post links as I am a noob here but if you search for 'HTC One Anti Scratch' you should find it.

paulobrien has one you can ask him.
Or you can ask the reviewer from CNET also.

Black is not released yet but we have been assured it is anodised. The iPhone5 was a joke arriving with chips in the paintwork out of the box! While it is VERY hard to produce things perfectly and there may be a slight flaw somewhere on the phone, some of the iPhone 5s were shocking.

FWIW - I have been using an iPhone 5 since launch day without a single scratch on it (no case or protector). I do however treat my phone considerably better than most. It has never been dropped and is always set down on something soft, never on hard surfaces.
Again, it all depends on how you treat the phone. Under the right conditions, I'm sure the HTC One will scratch as well. Hopefully not as easily as the iPhone though.

Thanks for the video. And that's okay, I don't mind a scratch here and there as my iPhone has scratches as well. But what really concerns me is CNET.co.uk's review of the HTC One Black where they mention the HTC One is actually painted, not black anodized metal, so it chips even faster than an iPhone 5. That in itself is concerning.
I really want a beautiful Android phone like this one, but unfortunately there are some things that are starting to turn me off, like the buttons that are too pushed in with the phone and the IR blaster being on the left, as well as the 2,300maH battery which would've been great for yesteryear but no so much to today's standards.
It's so hard to find a beautiful phone that performs like you want it and has top of the line specifications. I had the HTC One X and had to return it due to manufacturing defects and other problems with Sense (goddamn I hate Sense).
Sorry about that rant, just wanted to know about the black scuffs as that would be a dealbreaker for me.
Cnet.co.uk review got it wrong, it's not painted. It's anodized for sure.
Op, can you change the topic to: .... does not scuff?

While I'm not trying to start a war here, because I don't know this stuff as well as some others, I do know that the iPhone is anodized.
A large part of an anodizing process (and it's overall resistance against scuffs/scratches) comes down to the type of metal and its hardness (tempered vs. non-tempered) along with depth, dye, and the finishing process itself. Anodizing is quite a bit different than just spraying some paint on something and moving along - however, it does have the ability to chip/scuff almost just as easily (depending on the process and materials used).

"Now, after using the phone for more than a week, I can say it’s surely one of the best phones out there, if not the best. It’s got issues, for example, with the pretty finish chipping off, but I’m been very impressed in other areas like battery life and camera."
this is from one of the reviews. do not trust the video on youtube.
Don't forget the guy in that review clearly states he DID put the one and his keys in the same pockets for a week to get these dents.
