Be careful, I had my HD in my left pocket. I took the bus into town, the busdriver started to drive before I was seated and I bumped into the edge of a seat. My HD now looks like this
Does anyone know if there are spare parts availiable?
Flippin' heck, that doesn't look good I feel for you.
A warning to everyone, put the phone in your pocket screen side towards your body for maximum cushioning!
wiew that looks really bad! i'm afraid there no spare parts yet. Be patient, there will be after a while when more of these broken HD's will appear...

Oh my god, I'm feeling bad for you. Thank you for telling us. Try to go to an HTC center and ask them how much ($) and how long is required for a repair.
How strong was the hit? And is the display still working, despite the crack?

There is also another reason for this. Because antenna is usually at back side, it's also bit more healthy. Especially if you keep phone in your trousers next to your "jewellery" ))
Damn that doenst look good

The hit was not bad at all, in fact I didn't notice the phone was broken until I was about to use it.
And yes, everything seems to work alright.
if the repair is too expensive...
I will buy it as it is.. if you want to sell the broken HD
asoebye, sorry to see this. We're all assuming you had the screen side away from your body in the pocket, can you confirm ??
As I suppose if an impact was large enough, even if you have the screen side in, a crack is possible.
Always put your HD in nice leather case
OMG! This sight will give me nightmares!
sorry to see this
I feel with you!
But it seems the screen is of glass. I thougth it was plastic.
when did you buy the phone? if it was less than 45 days ago you should be able to take out insurance...
omg, i`m sorry man. it looks bad. hope you can fix it.
wouldn`t this happen with a leather case? i mean leather is flexible...
guys, just have insurance for your phone and your get a free replacement

Yes, I can confirm that. The thougt of such an accident has never entered my mind. I have never destroyed ANY phone. I got a scratch in my P3600 because I dropped it, and thats what I was most affraid of with my HD also.
But if you have the screen against your thigh I think you need a quite a hit to destroy the glass. The backcover will probably break first.
I think I will have that in mind from now on ...
DAMNNNNNN!! BAD LUCK

Good idea any pointers where we go to? the cheap and best place to get it insured?
I'm going to get CPP Fonesafe, but this is only available in Italy. There is also an UK version with the same name, but it costs 7 pounds a month, so it's not what I call cheap.
Does anybody have prbolems with the housing of the mytouch 3g? My housing around the volume keys is coming off a little bit. I had this problem like 3 weeks ago and it was pretty bad you could see the inside of the phone and everything. i returned it and got a new handset but its happeneing again just wondering if anybody else has had a problem with this it's really annoying. I dunno what it is thats causing it.... please help.
How?? mines has a few chips on it but thats it! god knows how it has happened, Do you work with any hazardous chemicals? Petolium can make rubber expand but i dunno if iit affects plastic. I have searched for a housing but cant find it anywhere
Yeah its very weird. You know how in between the face plate and the back cover that comes out to get to the battery there is a dark grey line that goes all around the phone? That is whats coming off Ans it's happening around where the volume keys are. Like I said this is the second time that is happeneing again. The first time it was very bad and the funny thingl is that on the box where the other phone came in the picture of the phone on the outside had the same thing. I'm not sure about the new box though ill check it out when I get home. Also I have a black jelly on my phone so its protected...
Never heard of that happening, I've had mine for a few months and nothing of that sort. You should invest in a skin for your phone. Best buck fity you'll ever spend on Amazon. Is that what you mean by black jelly?
Well yeah I have a mytouch brand jelly and it protects my phone really well I also have a screen protector. So it's just plain weird. Ill try to get a picture so I can post it and you guys can see it.
Noticed today that screen is scratched even though i have never dropped my phone and was very careful.....will tmo make the switch if i ***** about gps and lag ?

do you have anything else worng with it? rattling volume buttons? i returned mine for that... i would say maybe if you try and brick it and say that you loaded something from your cpu to the phone and it turned off and never came back on might work

volume buttons do rattle...and usb slide is a bit broken
if you just complain about GPS they will tell you an exchange won't solve the issue so you will have to wait until update. If there is anything else wrong, yes they will replace it, they won;t care about scratches since it is from normal use (u said u didn't drop it)

No, you should be careful with your phone
it's not T-Mo's fault you scratched the damn thing, and returning it for no reason at all just drives prices up for people that are honest.

Can you read? The person posting this thread already stated they are very careful with the phone and never droped it.
It is possible the phone was already scratched when he/she purchased it.

Getting an exchange because you have a scratch on your screen? What? If he actually told them that's why he wanted an exchange he wouldn't be getting one so that's why hes asking a story to tell them. They won't exchange it because the screen is scratched, or because the GPS doesn't work.
Can you post a pic of the scratched screen, I dont use screen protectors and its been Impossible to scratch mine, So I would like to see a pic.
This is why you don't place your phone facedown or put it in a pocket with keys or change.. and most of all.. don't ever let a drunken grizzly bear with tourettes use your Vibrant.
A friend of mine got his screen scratched when his wife used his phone and her diamond earring put a small but noticeable gash on it
I don't use a screen protector either. No scratches this puppies tough.
I also have my right pocket dedicated to my phone and only my phone. Everything else goes in the left. Soon it'll be second nature and you will never put your phone in your pocket with stuff.
If TW as a scratch its from neglect. I baby mine and unless I drop it or put it in a full pocket, I'm golden...
And I never let anyone use mu 500 dollar phone.. no way no how..
Rizz good to know.. I'll keep that in mind when handing this baby over to others..
My phone has been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...
Why don't people get screen protectors? Sure the screens are scratch resistant not scratch proof. I use a realook screen protector and you cant even tell its on there. Also I carry my phone in my left pocket and my keys in my right pocket. Carrying my phone and keys in the same pocket make my pocket bulge way to much plus your more likely to scratch up your phone.

If you are withing your remorse period, you don't need permission from t-mobile to return your phone for the GPS issue. They may not exchange it for another one, because thats just silly, they all have the problem. Yet, you certainly can return it.
As I said, I have few another issues as well, but i didnt consider returning before....
I also thought that it was impossible to scratch, yet somehow i see a half inch scratch on the screen. i have body glove case as well.....
That really sucks bro, I noticed a tiny few cm long scratch on the side of my phone.. It's not that bad but it made my heart crack a little.
Using an ugly Zagg screen protector on it atm. I'm wanting to take this crap off and just be really careful with it though.
A friend of mine wanted me to root his Evo for him. After I rooted it, I flashed the Synergy RC1 rom on it. As I was making sure everything was working, I noticed his screen looked a little flakey (see pics). It had like this wisonsin shaped marking on the screen. It's easy to notice on light colored screens. But it's also noticable on dark color screens as well.
I don't know if his screen is going bad or if this is a case of screen tearing or whatever it's called. I never had any of those issues with any of the Evos I ever owned. So therefore, I don't know what to look for.
So nevertheless, can someone please take a look at the pics and let me know if this is a case of th screen going ad, screen tearing or something else. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So you thinking it may be water/liquid damage then?
Where is the liquid trigger/indicators on this phone. I know one is on the battery. And that one isn't pink or anything.
I also tried flashing another room and it still shows.

Keep in mind that if you get the screen wet that doesn't necessarily mean that the indicator would change if you don't get any other part of the phone wet.
However, I think it's pretty obvious it's some sort of liquid damage and I doubt Sprint would be willing to replace it.

My buddy just came back. He said that he hasn't never gotten the phone wet at all. And have no idea how it could be liquid damage. He's going to take it to sprint tomorrow afternoon after he gets off work.

Or if he feels comfortable taking apart electronic stuff, he could just take the phone apart and clean it. just make sure it is completely dry before putting it back together.

My friends evo had the exact same thing, it was from liquid damage.... His was not in the center of the screen, but it looked identical.... Sprint replaced it under his insurance for I think $50
Sent from my EVO 4G with Tapatalk
Update:
We took the phone to Sprint yesterday and they said that it wasn't liquid damage. They said that it appeared to be a pressure point. Something apparently pressed up to hard against the screen. Nevertheless, because he had insurance, they replaced the screen free of charge.
However in doing so, they apparently broke the speaker in the earpiece and the bluetooth connection. Whenever someone calls the phone, they can hear you, but you can't hear them. They come in in very very low and the sound is distorted and sounds like static.
So he called sprint and we have to bring it back in today. They also added more minutes to his plan for the next 3 months or something like that.
i got my iconia a500 two month now and i cept it in a extra safe case, but for no reason it broke altough i didnt drop it on the floor or hit anything on it...so if this is called gorilla glas, this is realy **** material...even normal glas wouldnt break that easily...who else got a broken glas and how did it break?

I bought my tablet pre ordered. Back in April if I remember correctly. I have dropped it several times.left it in the van when it was above 100 deg temp.it works as well as the day I bought it.there has been others break the glass on thee tab.Its going to happen from time to time.Call acer tell then you did not damage it and it just broke on its own.They might help you.but this acer a500 is by far the best tablet of them all.
Ranting in the forum might help get it off your chest.but will not fix your tablet.
Good luck.

Hm, my cars winshield broke all on its on while it was sitting in my garage.
Can I call mitsubishi and ask them to replace it for me?
LMAO Stuff doesnt break on its on. Sounds like what my 10 year old brother tells me everytime he breaks something.
When I bought my a500 I was torn between aus and a500. To me they're very much alike. He said if you want a tablet and keyboard, get the Asus and the cradle. If you just want the better built tablet of the two, get the Acer.
Very pleased with my a500. I supppose it's possiblle the glass could have a defect causing a break under unknown circumstances. Everything I have heard of Acer is they're very helpful. Haven't they even helped folks who bricked their tabs rooting and flashing?
Is this where I come to raise my post count?

Well it's not that far fetched. To this day, I have no way of explaining what happened to a buddy's old laptop. I was with him one time when he closed it, then a couple hours later he opened it up and the screen was broken. Nothing happened to it inbetween. Then again, it was a Dell... Now gorilla glass should technically be better, so this may have just been a defective unit. It's not the first time I've heard of a defective screen on the A500, however it's the first I heard of the spontaneous breaking glass. There's a first for everything

Oh, yeah, I'm sure the glass broke all by itself from just sheer awesomeness while you were riding through the skies on your pink, fluffy, rainbow-****ting unicorn which also happens to play some mean ukulele!
I've dropped my tablet several times, I often place stuff on it when I'm too lazy to move it, I just slap it around, I don't have any kinds of screen protectors or cases or anything... and I still haven't gotten a SINGLE SCRATCH on it.
Btw, does your unicorn have any siblings? I could use one myself, too.

I once had a windshield on a rental car crack.
I did not even drop it on the floor and it cracked!
Seriously, nothing hit the windshield, it just had a defect, a weak point or a pressure point that caused the crack.
So I suppose all rental cars must have defective windshields.
i have a crack.. on my backside, true story.

Glass can break suddenly.especially super strong glass as its cured hotter but only when it gets twisted. Im guessing this is what happened to your tablet. Rather you believe it or not.Something Are it break
