i doubt it
Not a chance.
So do most people around here actually refrain from putting their phone in their pocket??
"people sometimes forget that they don't go in pockets"
Front pocket sure, never the back though.
Well the dude must have had some boney bones on his ass. Anyway, what was all that compression test/bend test/tumble test video that they released about? Made up?

Not made up, just more evidence that such failures are a result of the user and not the phone itself.
For the LED's to break and leak like that, there had to have been some major neglect. It isn't a car key scratching it, then it spreading... it is the screen being compressed enough to impact the LED. That takes some talent!
And this is true of any phone, BTW... google's response is a little "odd" but any touch screen phone has a "no pocket" warning. Take a look at the HD, HD2, Touch Pro 2, et al... even the amazing iPhone, they all have this happen, they all have warnings about not putting them in your pocket, especially with other items or the screen facing out, and back pocket is the absolute worst of all!
I don't get people... I broke my phone, HTC should have to replace it because I am a moron!
I couldn't believe how tiny the box was, then when I opened it I couldn't believe how absolutely huge the EVO is! It is massive, and the screen is amazing! No lag what so ever. Everything is lightning fast. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

i think most got the questions taking care of in the other 3 or 4 topics like this grats on the phone wish C.list had a few near me
jealous!! congratulations man!
no it hasnt trust me..
I have asked the other people this question but apparently it was too much to ask for..
I just want to know one thing..How is the volume on the phone during a damn phone call in say like a car with the windows down?
For me HTC has always kinda been a bit low on actual in call phone volume and many times i struggle to hear with the windows down talking on the phone.
I'm getting the phone either way but it would be nice to know.
How are the WiMax speeds around Atlanta and the latency on 4G? Thanks!

Be careful not to get a ticket for being on the phone. In NJ that's a $100 ticket.

Quick question, how do you hang up the phone after each conversation if the screen is off? I don't think I see any hard call or end button like the rest of the HTC phones.

i've been meaning to mention to ya..even if the volume is low, once the phone is rooted there's an app available that allows you to up the phones volume levels (in call, speaker, bluetooth, and even headphone jack). So there's no real worry in that regard (ps if you already have a rooted phone, check out Louder Volume Hack...i love it)

Just called my old phone from the Evo and the proximity sensor works just like the iphone. The screen turns off when it's next to your face and lights up when you pull it away.

Hey congrats on getting the phone and thanks for taking your time to answer silly noob questions
Qik video camera is so neat. I had no idea you could stream right to the web. You can also easily toggle between the front and rear cameras.
I've heard that Sprint TV doesn't work with wifi. Is there anything else, Qik for instance, that doesn't or won't utilize wifi?
And please tell me what the call quality is like when riding a roller coaster. Thanks!

How fast does it get a GPS lock? The Incredible gets a lock in about 5-10 seconds max.

A black lettered day in my life ....
Today in the morning while riding on my motorbike on a croweded indian street ...my phone slipped out of my tracks & fell on to the road. It took me about a ~45 secs to realize that my phone is missing from my pocket
By the time i parked my bike & looked back i saw some people frantically waving & shouting trying to stop an oncomming city bus... & then i heard someone say the phone is under the BUS !!!
I ran towards the bus ( which had now come to a stop ) & peeked underneath & to my horror realized that that bus had actually come to a stop on TOP of my phone !!!!! My heart surely missed a beat ..had to ask the driver to back the bus to dislodge the phone from under the tire
Well here are the pics :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYAJBVfe9to
The phone surprisingly is still in working condition despite being compeltely shattered .. i can still make calls, touchscreen is working (even in the broken areas)... GPS, compass, camera all seem to be working fine....i guess had it not been in the leather pouch it would have been much worse
PLease tell me this can be reparied/replaced...also could you please give a cost approximate..
Heres wat i think needs replaching
- Touch Panel
- Glass Front Screen
- Plastisc side body
sorry to see that.
You can get the housing from Dealextreme

I'm really sorry for you mate! But i got to say, totally amazing build quality! I am truly amazed.

True ..its just hard to see ur hard earned money go down the drain like dat !
I too am amazed that the phone still managed to survie this ...i was expecting it find X10 mash inside the leather cover...!! The battery has deep lines engraved on it by the ribs on the back cover .due to the pressure !!!!!
Can't believe it's still working, anyway i guess you wont think about 2.1 update anymore which is, hmmmm, a good thing
That's too bad for you, it's a really expensive phone.
I don't know if you can get the parts apart around your place, but here are the part numbers:
LCD Display: 1223-6264
Windows + Touchscreen: 1223-6264
and finding the housing shouldn't be too hard.
Perhaps you can try contacting SE, but I doubt they'll send you the parts.
Do you really need the touch panel as it is still working? The LCD and touch panel are different parts, you know.
If I were you, I will contact SE and show them what their phone got!.
May be ask them a replacement as a reward from your unbelievable story.
Your phone might worth making a nice ads for them

And then sell it on eBay to buy 2 X10s
(yes, people will pay that much)
I don't know about SE in India but you should give it a shot for making some ads if you got time. At least you have nothing to loose.
Sorry for your lose.
PS, if you had the white color x10 then the bus driver would have seen it just saying!

Ouch, that looks pretty bad, but besides the screen, battery, and a new case, it seems ok. Does everything still work?
I.e. making phone calls, earpiece, microphone, camera, wi-fi, 3G, etc.?

I also did manage to break the touch panel of my White X10 accidentally! And it seems it would cost around 33% of the phones price! I can't post the links yet! But i've just few lines of crack on my touch panel and it my phone doesn't respond to touch anymore! It's unbelievable that your works!
Let me know what SE quoted you for the Touch Panel!
Did you thank the bus?
Now you can get a phone with current tech, like multi touch, better battery, better call volume, etc

wow...this is worse than reading Stephen King's novels. I'm truly sorry about your phone and best of luck with getting your Rachael fixed buddy.
1st HTC Touch2, the digitizer failed completely.
2nd Google Nexus one, working digitizer but horribly unresponsive.
...and now my practically new, 2 month old HTC G2/Vision's lower part of the screen/digitizer has completely failed. I mean just above the capacitive button, about 1/2" of the screen has failed and is unresponsive, the rest of the screen works completely fine. So this means I can't tap on the phone/app drawer/browser icons unless the phone is in landscape mode.
They make such beautiful phones but such crappy quality.
Hope the warranty it otherwise I'm throwing this brick thru their headquarter's front window.

I think it's you, because all the HTC Phones I had (Magic, Legend, Nexus, G2) none of theme ever had any problems. And one of the points HTC has above all other manufacturers is quality.

Sounds like you have been incredibly unlucky. I've owned about 8 or 9 HTC devices. Currently use 3 (G2, HD2 & HD7) and haven't had any issues with any of them. I do remember people having issues with the digitizer on the Blackstone (HD)
Your warranty should cover you though
Do you live in a dry area where static electricity can build up easily? I ask because once I killed a phone digitizer by zapping it....
So far I have had an iPod Touch=Digitilzer fail Completely, HTC HD2=Screen is Black, HTC HD7= Camera stopped working

same here i even used a g1 w a shattered digitizer for like 4 months and my g2 has had 0 issues so far
my g1 did work flawless even with a cracked screen, best phone HTC has made to date. I have dropped that thing at least a hundred times and it just worked.
I have yet to drop the G2 (probably cuz its so heavy) but I did not expect it to have this problem.
I guess there are bad batches in all, but the thing that pisses me off, is that I called HTC and they are willing to replace the digitizer, but I have to pay for shipping! WTF?!?!
your carrier should do this for free....
unless you bought it outright. then either suck it up or live with it. or fix it yourself.
life sucks.. then you die.
another HTC customer who has yet to have a problem (that I didn't cause myself) with their products...
perhaps there is some environmental factor that is causing this problem continually for you.. why haven't you tried another brand of phone if you are unhappy with HTC? (not picking on you, just curious - it would help identify if it's an HTC problem or something else)

Not to sound like steve jobs, but you're holding it wrong. Literally.
It is a CAPACITIVE screen, that means that you need to complete an electric circuit between the metal ring around the outside of the screen and the screen itself. It also helps if your fingers aren't too DRY.
Try to touch the metal ring firmly with the same hand you are using to touch the screen.
I think you just treat your phones badly

i have a pretty new g2 and for some reason my screen is unresponsive sometimes.. i mean for like 2 minutes it wont let me use the screen at all for touch, i can still use the track ball..
then it comes back and i can use the screen again, sometimes it bugs out and clicks stuff on its own.. i have tried different roms and no help yet..
so maybe it can be a phone problem, anyone ever find a solution?

it should still be under warranty right? i got it second hand, this phone cant be more than 2 months old.. its driving me crazy, its even clicking apps and doing stuff by itself.. the screen is bugging out on me lol.. deng im upset now, hopefully ill get it all sorted out with tmobile tomorrow. it should still be under factory warranty....
My HTC's have been nothing but great to me. I am also very very careful with my stuff...I use a belt holder/screen protector and I baby it as I have all of my stuff.
As the question states can i do so?
I see both have same screen resolution, screen type and size, what am not sure of is if the bus connector is in the same position.
I can't get a Desire Z screen from my where i am right now because they arent available at the moment(and not sure when they will), what's available is that of the Desire S. I cant order from the internet either because that would mean i would have to wait till January to get it
Can someone confirm if it will work? I'm a little desperate and need the phone working as soon as possible. Please help
Not sure really look up teardowns and see if it even looks similar, I imagine the ribbon cable itself and placement location might be different. Have you tried searching here and google? I'm curious to know since I repair smart phones, but I've never used a screen from another phone like that.
