I just threw my Streak accidently out of the window from the 7th floor where I work...
When I got outside it was lying in a puddle of water, but was still working. With no case or protection around it! This is the toughest phone ever people and if not, it is the toughest MID!

Ive heard of people having to replace a streak screen from a waist high drop.
Edit: also as for the scratch resistance mine has hairline scratch's from being in my pocket.
Re: Maek_this_happen (the guy in the video and starter of this discussion) :
Hey Alex3305 , Ear_O_Wax,
I wouldnt let a Thumb-Thumb touch my Streak much less scratch and pound it like that guy did. If you ask me it wasnt even HIS Streak. He was probably vandalizing someone elses tab/phone.
I already said that's not me in the video ...I'm not British ...lol .....and I would never do it either ...lmao

What's the story?
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!
a pictures worth a thousand words .
phone fell off seat in movie theater, like 2 feet from ground..
was it naked?
I cried a little inside when I saw this picture..
without a case ? ya
sorry.
I hate how badly HTC tempers some of their phones [screen that is]
I remember when I got my first TP2, broke screen on first drop... I had a replacement,... That I still have... I treat it like trash! And lemme tell you this thing is sturdy. My Evo... Has been abused, dropped, fell straight on the curb of the sidewalk (right onto the raised part and onto the floor). Only visible thing is a tiny dot of glass that chipped off the lower bottom right.. This one is sturdy as hell too...
this was my first time dropping the phone, I only had it for about two weeks.
The screen is like scratch proof but not shatter proof, it should be the other way around at least (hopefully both). I tried using my keys to scratch out a hole in the glass so i could take it out and see if i could get a replacement glass but the keys wouldnt even scratch as hard as i tried
i died a little inside when i saw that picture. if that happened to my phone...i would probably cry
Dang that really sux. I was so scared when I dropped my Evo at work from a height of 30 ft and lucky for me I just had sum dirt in the kick stand but that was the day I added insurance on my bill. I'm sure if u have insurance they will give u a new screen as there was a time with my instinct I broke the screen 3 times in a month and Sprint fixed it no questions asked

@ the PIC why put a 500$ phone on a sent and EVEN take the chance of it falling ?
That sucks man . Well if you don't have insurance, they sell replacement touch screen digitizers on eBay. Not sure how easy it is to replace.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-Evo-...862017?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4152abc101
I have no affiliation to that seller, just looked up the cheapest one that wasn't out of the country.
Looks like some guys just put up a repair video too and it doesn't look too difficult, but I'd be scared to do it myself lol.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-evo-4g-glass-touch-screen-digtizer-lcd-repair-guide.html
Most sprint repair stores are stocking glass/screen replacements. Just go down there and get it fixed, generally they can do them in 15-20 minutes
actually im within the first 30 days, so im taking the phone back to a store and swapping it for a brand new one. which seems like a great deal to me.
if you are rooted you will probably have to unroot... but you already knew that
I just flashed back to the stock rom i found in the evo wiki, that should be good correct ?

Good luck man. 30 days or not they're probably not gonna just swap an obviously damaged phone out for a new one. Not saying it wont happen, just.. good luck!

You should be good with that. In my experience I've had no trouble taking rooted devices in to them. I always make sure at the very least it appears stock when they power it up.
I called them and they are the ones that suggested i just return it and get a new one since it's within thirty days. I called the store too, not sprint (sometimes they like to contradict each other).
I accidently droped my sgs2 last night... In the begining it was just a corner with red small spots and I saw som old meny in the dark corner. I tested some hidden menys and I changed nothing (I think) But after had my phone off for the night it looks like this??? Blue???

i agree, time to service it! hehe
Even wearing that case it has suffered that bad? It seems that most cases protect only against scratches, unless you have one of those extremely bulky. It makes me wonder why to use a case at all if in the end the damage will be the same. Or would it be even worse without the case? Well, who knows...

According to newkidd Sprint should be able to repair it for free without replacing it since the screen and the phone itself works perfectly and I have TEP.

That sucks man, but at least it's just cosmetic. Hopefully Sprint gets it fixed up for you nice and quick.

I do, but the app wasn't installed, so it doesn't work :'(
And I tried to install plan b, I read lifehackers post on it awhile ago, but these people were expert thieves, they changed the service to another phone, and tried to make a purchase with it almost immediatly. Luckily, the charge was canceled and I ended service for the phone, then they sent me the new phone I'm currently using.
I would have loved it to work, but alas, sad. My only concern now is if there is a way to deauthorize that phone from my google account. Other than that, as soon as I get around to rooting this thing, I'll be fine.

I broke my screen digitizer a few weeks ago. Luckily I was able to buy one off ebay and replace it myself. The only thing that I did wrong was I didn't really reglue it down to the frame, so dust and dirt has been getting underneath the screen (which you can see behind bright backgrounds). BTW, if anyone breaks theirs, here's a great video on how to take apart the whole phone.

Hiya guys I've had the most interesting thing happen to my .sg3 yesterday. The only way to explain it is as a spontaneous screen crack! My phone just cracked by itself!! Yes without a lie! It's the most microsceptic crack I've seen and after a few minutes looking at it i decided to measure the location and it's exactly in the middle of the panel! No one believes me and people think I'm stupid. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've done some research and have found that other Samsung phones have done this but there isn't allot of info about it.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
probably because of the curved glass. Curved things tend to bend when they reach certain point. the gorilla glass 2 being thinner than its predecessor should crack easier especially when bent. Send it back to Samsung, the crack seems natural and is a Samsung fault rather
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I believe you. My friends AMOLED screen crached but the glass was perfectly fine on his Droid RAZR. It was extremely weird and did not make any bit of sense.
Well see the thing is i didn't even move from my desk at work when this happened! It's so so strange. What would be the best way of contacting Samsung about this , because atm I've talked to official Samsung repair people and they all say I'm crazy and 3 just told me I'm a liar and that i broke it on purpose.

With many (if not most) cases, when the phone is face down the screen is raised from the surface. So if your phone falls face first, the screen won't make contact with the surface. Obviously if the surface is very jagged then the display may hit it. The case (particularly dual layer varieties) also adds a little bit of shock protection that will help decrease the chance of shattering the screen from blunt force to other parts of the phone.
I'm about to go into this thread and tell you to try flashing stock rom....

today I sent it to repairs, they couldn't give me any estimate of price, but when I hear from them I will report back with that info and when they repair it if possible I will also report final cost.
Only thing they estimated was that it is going to take about 2 weeks!
My One is she because well it's my One but not only and it also seems to break up easily..
It had this kind of case, but did not help when dropped face down since there was some small rocks.
