Ok, you probably won't believe me when I tell you this... Because I am not so sure I would believe it myself... but here goes.
I have a scooter whose digital dash is not displaying the correct speed.
My solution???
Velcro my EVO to the dash and run SpeedView and use that as my speedometer.
Everything has worked fine since I started doing this last summer. But recently the back of my EVO has become loser fitting.
So today; while traveling about 50 miles per hour; I hit a bump and my EVO sails off the dash (leaving the back still velcro'd on the bike) and hits the road. The battery flies off and the phone comes to rest *laying on it's face*.
Gasp.....
I get off the bike and run out in the road to pick up the phone and battery before someone runs over them. Then I put the battery back in the phone and the phone's back cover on.
Surprise!!! The phone works flawlessly and has no scratches on the screen or case damage. Which amazes me because what scratches I do have come from the phone being in my pocket.
And that's not all!!!
This is the *second* time this has happened in the past month.
Guess I need to buy a solid case to hold it in place.
But who would have thought the EVO was so durable????
Where's John Cameron Swayze when we need him?

My sentiments exactly...
I'm just wondering why anyone else hasn't suggested that you simply fix your speedometer which prolly's gonna cost less than a replacement EVO.
You're leading a charmed life, but as others have said, it won't last forever. You'll probably drop it on to carpet from 18 inches and shatter the screen.

I'm on my third EVO and all I've learned is that hard falls are often the least of your worries. Sure, I can accidentally throw my phone across a bar downtown while imitating some Guido and the screen will be perfect when I go retrieve it, but drop an EVO six inches onto your pillow... you're looking at a $100 dedcutible mon frer.

What is overclock?
Wikipedia said:
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.[1]

It's when you make your phones clock run faster effectively turning your phone into a time machine, but it's a big responsibility with some serious risks.
Beware the butterfly effect.
I would have added an actual explanation but danknee covered that.

You obviously shouldn't be using this type of phone then. You need to get a flip phone where everything is protected, or the thickest case ever made...like your head.
I bet you didn't kick your dog, cos why would you take your dog to a swimming pool?
And even if you did do that, why the **** was it in the changing rooms?

The Evo is also mentioned by name at the end of the CBS Atlanta clip.
As a footnote, the bullet was traveling at a very shallow angle judging from the damage to the battery. Definitely not a straight on shot.

Wow..really? What a tool. I am glad the cell phone saved his life and all, but why would you get endorsements? You didn't do anything special, you just got shot and it just so happened the cell phone was there. Now, it would be different if he got shot at, he grabbed the phone and deflected the shot..ha.
was the phone rooted and what rom and kernel....that is what makes a phone tougher!!! i am sure the batt was stronger with the htc battery trick for full charge

this is android

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.

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.
Ouch!! That looks painful.. Poor shift!
Walk much???

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.

Hey Vicodan - not satisfied with the standard benchmark tests you've been subjecting the phone to! Let the physical testing of the phone begin!!! - what's next - maybe leaving it next to the stove - hey - just kidding man- luckily you're ok- can really get messed up in a fall
