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?

That it's two weeks older than mine?
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.

girls = phones
-at first you love them
-you decide its worth investing
-you achieve expected sattisfaction- or not
-with time they disappoint you somehow
-then *you shoud make up your mind and decide whether to keep or change* because:
there's a lot of phones out there to choose from
there's always a better one coming

Newer phones are getting better -> fact

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.
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

one day i put the phone in my pocket, nothing special, walking around etc, i took it out of my pocket and the camera glass was smashed to bits
to this very day im still clueless
i guess i need bigger pockets
*eh...
For some reason I double posted on an accident.
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
--
thats how mine is but in the bottom. not a big deal but i did feel it
several people reported the same thing before. screen not flush all the way around. there's no adhesive, the screen slides out of the outer sleeve if you remove the screws in back.
Oh...
--
mine does it on the bottom.
it feels like there is a slight gap in between the bottom bezel and the screen.
It's not a problem at all, but it sure is annoying at times.
On the left side of my HD2 the screen is easier to push in at the top and bottom, but it takes a lot of pressure to make it "squeak".
If I had a cosmetic issue, you can bet I would be on a waiting list to get a replacement. The looks on these phones are nearly as important as the performance, IMHO.
oh i deff agree, @op, if you only just got it id be trying to take it back.
Same on mine at the bottom - just barely - if you slightly press between the usb and headphone jack you hear a slight (guess it sounds like) a click and you feel it slightly move. When the usb jack is plugged in it stops Some play and I don't think its worth returning - also don't think it will get worse. Case materials should have been a little more rigid. Think if you get a hard shell case or aluminum skin - when they become available you won't notice it. Talking to other guys with the HTC branded Euro version their build quality is a bit better. Think its pretty much the same with all HTC stuff - their branded models (TYTN TYTN II etc.) were build better than the AT&T versions - they also cost a lot more because they aren't subsidized.
Personally feel the HD2 of all the MS phones with the exception of the HTC TYTN I is the most solid. The Fuze which I just got rid of was probably the worst. The case was ok but the front keypad was pure junk - out of the box the thing felt like it was going to break and it never sat "square" in its opening. The USB ports on all of them were really weak and were super loose out of the box. The slide out keyboards always loosened up and had too much play.

For me, the Touch Pro 2 has top honors when it comes to "feeling" solid. My sister dropped it the other day and cracked the bevel, with a large triangle missing near the volume rocker and three other cracks on the bottom, top and opposite side.
I am encouraging her to return it and claim the insurance, but since there is no change in the quality of the phone's operation, she wants to keep it.
Again, for me, the TP2 seems more solid than the HD2, but the HD2 is very well-built compared to other phones. I am so paranoid about even putting my phone down on a hard surface, due to the sharp edges of the camera mount and the light metal case.
I will be installing my new invisibleSHEILD as soon as sirphunkee and I can make the time to meet somewhere clean (I have a 2yo at home ). I imagine my paranoia will drop a bit then...
I dropped my phone while working out at the gym.
I was on the treadmill, and dropped the phone from my hand to the treadmill belt, then it flew out (i was running pretty fast at speed 7) and ended up hitting the wall behind me. Well, I freaked out and ran over to check on the phone.
Even though I had NO protection, the phone was perfectly fine. Only a tiny scratch that's barely visible on the top left bezel, and everything was fine.
I really was surprised at the sturdiness of the phone.

My TP2 fell out of my hand in a parking lot, the thing didn't hit hard, but it left a small scratch on the screen (it was visible, but wasn't too obvious) and then some nicks at the corners of the device. It did look used. I returned it to T-Mo (I was still within 14-day remorse period) and used the money I got back to get an HD2 instead (for some reason I didn't qualify for either the full or the 11 month upgrade price, only 50 bucks discount... now that I think about it, I should have gotten it at full price, also, the day after it arrived (ordered online) T-Mo came out with the 2 for 1 smartphone, but alas, a new line was needed and I had no use for it).
I've dropped my HD2 at least 4 times since and there's not a nick on it. I figure the glass screen helps (as opposed to the TP2's plastic), even if it's a finger print magnet. I also have no problems with the screen or bezel being uneven, even after dropping it, nor have I had any single of the problems people complain about, so, go figure, I got the perfect production HD2.
Whew.... OK. Soooo glad to hear this isnt only my device. Mines is on the bottom. I also dont see it getting any worst and its so minor right now its probably not worth the hassle of returning. I tend to keep the gel case on it anyway..

I had an issue with mine creaking, on the bottom. Mainly when I was pressing the start key, or back. Got a replacement and it seems better. For a phone seriously delayed I don't get how the quality is so terrible.

Was it the camera lens or the casing around the camera?
After watching the tear-down video I could see how the camera casing could be improperly installed and loosen after a bit of handling, but I thought the lens was pretty solid...

I disagree. Not sure if I got lucky or not, but my phone is in perfect condition despite being a month old and spending most of that time in my back pocket.
I've sat on it countless times, dropped it from my hand to the floor twice and dropped it from the car holder to the console in my vehicle so many times I can't count.
The only problem I have is with the SMS freeze, and I've solved 90% of that by keeping my inbox clean. If I have the money for a class 6 microSD card, I'd bet on having solved the other 10% of my problems.
Since upgrading my radio, I don't have any problems with dropped calls, missing texts, loss of 3G or any of the other popular issues that seem to be plaguing the new owners.
Since bad news always travels faster and wider than good news, one simply can't infer from the issues being discussed here that they are the norm. I would suspect a very small percentage of the HD2 owners frequent the forums here, and of those another small percentage are having hardware issues.
I've been through a few of these new phone releases here in the past and from my experience I would say that this is pretty normal for the first few months of a phone's release. In another month or so there will be a firmware upgrade to fix the freezing and icon switching, then a lot of the issues will switch from hardware to software. Soon after that, I expect everyone will be clamoring for the release of a Windows Phone 7 ROM, followed a few months later by a newer, faster phone that everyone will be switching to. A cycle, vicious but almost predictable.
I've recently purchased black HTC ONE. Although at first look device looks great (design is near perfection), I am really disappointed with its quality.
Build quality: both sides of the phone have rough edges - skin gets caught leaving white residue most of the time. Upper left edge of the screen is not fitted well - raised above the speaker grill
Really hot! It gets uncomfortable hot after few minutes of browsing over wifi - the screen gets warm as well! I also have GNote 2 and Iphone 4s and they get to such temperatures only after havy use when charging.
Camera is no good! (and yes I know how to take a picture) - pictures are noise (in relatively good light) and contain pinkish tint in center when focusing on white surfaces
Pixel grid (horizontal and vertical) is quite visible on the screen when jts turned off (this does not bother me), or on a mid day light and even indoors under some angles (and this is f-ing bothering me!)
I dont know did I get a really bad unit or this device is all looks and no quality...

Bad unit, get a replacement. There seem to be quite a few (I'm waiting for my second - because of a borked plastic cut) but I've also seen perfect examples...

Just send it back. Obvious.

That overheating issue you're facing is not normal, I believe. I have had a Galaxy S3 which got really hot after minimal usage, and the HTC One is great when it comes to that in comparison. You have to understand that aluminium soaks up the heat from the internals of the device, which is a good thing and a bad thing; it is perhaps bad because it can get a bit uncomfortable to hold while playing games, for instance, but at the same time it is good because it preserves the internals of the device and prolongs their life.
I have the a silver one and I do not face the problem with the edges. I read that the black one has a coating on it which makes it more prone to scratches, dings and chips than the silver one, so maybe that is the problem you're facing? I have also read that some of the earlier versions had gaps (like the screen not being fitted well, as you mentioned) but I am not sure about them. If you feel uncomfortable about the device, just go to the HTC service center and talk to them about it, perhaps they can sort you out a replacement if you're under warranty.
I cannot comment on the camera because I am by no means a photographer or even have a lot of experience with them, but it is suffice to say that I love the camera and I feel it is much better than my S3, sister's 4S and Dad's iPhone 5.
Yes I do expect here to be exactly as you've described. Maybe this is why my relationships does not last more than a year
I am also thinking of asking for another unit. But in my cowboy / banana country this really a hassle...

Its not chipped or scratched. It looks quite nice really. However you can feal its edges scratching when you hold the phone. Nothing dangerous just bloody annoying - due to hype about build quality I had my expectations set high.
I am no photography expert I just take pictures with steady hand and in fair light - if my subject is the white wall, the pink tint is all over the middle of the picture
As others said probably very bad unit. I'll try to replace it on monday.
Definitely defective. I've been using the phone for the last hour browsing the net and checking email. Still cool to the touch. Not sure what the sharp edges are...
mine got pretty hot the first week i had it and the battery life wasnt very good but after having it for a while it seemed to have settled down and battery life is very good now

Cool to the touch? Do you have massive calluses on your hands that are impenetrable to heat? I don't know if I've read of anyone else describing this phone as cool to the touch when being used.
As for the OPs phone. Return it. I've got black One and it is so damn nice. If you aren't fully enjoying it, something must be defective. The casing certainly sounds like it is. The camera: I recently took a short trip and only brought the phone as my camera. Before, I didn't like the camera so much. After spending time with it, I grew to like it quite a bit. It isn't an amazing camera, but it still gets pretty good shots. Maybe your settings need some tweaking, or you got a really bad unit and the camera is defective as well.
Anyway, take it back. Get yourself a perfect One. :thumbup:

Anyway, take it back. Get yourself a perfect One. :thumbup:

Well, then fact that I'm in a room with AC probably helps too. But yeah, pretty cool to the touch. Not even warm.
Please don't feed the trolls

Yes I do expect here to be exactly as you've described. Maybe this is why my relationships does not last more than a year
I am also thinking of asking for another unit. But in my cowboy / banana country this really a hassle...

I think a lot of us forget that not everyone has the opportunity to just walk in store and get a replacement.. There's a lot of downsides to ATT and Tmobile, etc. upsides are they will most likely exchange them until your happy. At least you dont have to accept a bad one..Keep mentioning zero gap til they bring one that applies I got lucky i guess and my first one is nearly perfect.
It sounds like yours is bad enough to do whatever you gotta do to get it replaced. Good luck,
Pixel grid? Do you mean you can see the digitalizer layer? This is quite normal on capacitive touch mobiles with thin glass

Anyone else notice this or is it just me? I need to get a cover for it and that will probably help a lot. It's the shape of the edges, its like they are designed to mess up my fingers. The slick back makes it harder to grip and therefore I have to hold it tighter than I would say my old kindle, thus making the ergonomics worse.

Yup I hate this...I even remove the slide cover to give my hands some slack. I have to hold the tablet with both hands just to make semi comfortable.

Well IMO I like the way they integrated the actual cover into the tablet itself, it makes a good stand for watching videos and stuff or playing games if you have a gamepad. As for benefits...hmm, protecting the screen may be one. I haven't seen a scratch and I've owned it for a month and a half now (my nexus 7 got hairline scratches in the first week -_-). The only problem is ergonomics, if you hold it incorrectly it makes it uncomfortable to hold after long periods of use. Overall I think its worth the buy.

Thanks very much for that... Really helped.
I just ordered a case that's designed for the HP slate extreme. Cost me $12. Its a stand and cover and should fix the uncomfortable ergonomics. I'll post a review when it gets here tomorrow.

Adding a decal skin to the face and back have helped immensely. Ofc, there's nothing out there that's a custom fit for the Tegra Note, so I just used a the cheapest Nexus 7 skin I could find and it's an incredibly ill fit, but it's an improvement. This tablet is really heavy as ****. I wonder who the genius engineer is that wanted a big magnet on the back cover.

HEy could you potentially post some pics of ur tab now with case/skins etc I would want to see what it looks like .....
.........Also I bought an tegra note case just last week and I have tested it out properly..... I have had no issues except to get used to holding it when playing games.... but then I got around it but standing it and putting two fingers either side inside the triangular flap where it stands and rest the two outside fingers on either hand around the triangular flap.... It made it loads easier and comfrtable to play :victory:

Maybe you won't experience stiffness (tendonitis?) in the fingers. I didn't start to really notice this was going to be a big issue until probably a month into owning it. I'm sure there are other factors involved other than just the tablet, but I can say that I've never experienced tendonitis in my fingers before.
As far as photos, my skin looks like crap. It's all off center. If you're still interested I can post later when I get a new skin and cut it up & apply properly. I think the skin on the glass border shifts around a bit.

I think I understand where you are coming from from the fingers side... However i dont really think NVIDIA though the case through properly lol....Only for watching movies and drawing etc.. (Hands free sort of thing.... Although I play on it everyday xD)
