SII Cracked screen - Galaxy S II General

Well, my screen is cracked, and im kinda pissed....The phone was in a case with the ''gorilla glass" facing my lap, then a friend of mine pushed me into a pole softly and crack, a massive crack, dead pixels, unresponsive screen, and now after a nights sleep the whole screen is blue and you can barely see that its on...

welcome to the club... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256371

I think the "gorilla" glass is a load of bull to be honest, had my hd2 for well over a year, with only 1 small scratch, had the gs2 for about 5 months, got at least 4-5, think its made from chocolate.....

Yeah its real fake. I btw viseted the store i got it from on contract and the said it would something btween 140 or 150 euros...Ive sent it in and samsung is gonna quote me a filnal figure before i choose if i want them to repair it...

Maybe yours is. I have it now for 3 months. No protection, always in the pocket or on the table or wherever, but no scratch. Quite different from my previous Omnia 2, with a few big scratches after 2 weeks. Perhaps a diamond screen would be good for you.

You are either kidding or have no idea what everything else costs..given the ammount of money u spent on it you should reconsider playing hackie sack with it..

Added some pics...

What sort of pole were you pushed into?
If the pressure was dissipated over the whole screen surface - i.e., trapped between pole and your thigh - it'd seem to be the optimal condition to crack it, unfortunately.
My wife broke a PMP with Gorilla glass by sitting on an office chair with PMP in pocket... and her ass ain't big.

Lol, just a small one as big as say.. a leg, yes, it was dissipated, that why it broke i think. Well its off to samsung now, and im looking at a 140-150 euro bill. (well my mate is)

That would do it... Gorilla glass or not, there'll be a certain pressure which the screen can't take.
Good to see a phone with even more scratches on the "silver" than mine, btw

Wich scratches may i ask? Mine was 100% scratch free... The only nicks you see are on the tpu case.

my bad, didn't look closely enough.
FWIW, I've a biggish nick on the bottom right corner and 4 small ones on the left side after dropping it on gravel - rarely bugs me, but will get a bumper eventually.

Exactly.
It's a phone. Contrary to what many people here seem to think, it's neither a fashion accessory nor a status symbol.

The guys at the store said it would be about 140 to 150 euros, i got my official quote...213 euros...ouch!

Gorilla glass is not that strong after all.

Well the gorilla glass didnt crack, the lcd behind it did probably because of the presure..

Got it back finally! Working good again.

do u guys thinks if it had an SGP glas in there, it wouldn't have cracked?

Whats the easiet was to fix this? The phone still works and so does the touch screen
Happened when i was taking the phone out of my pocket and it slipped. Fell on concrete.
Horrible mate
It should be covered under warranty. Check with whoever you got it from.
dont think "droppage" is covered under warranty.
This is why I have never paid for a phone (contract) but have always insured my phones.
I grip my l'il ol HD2 pretty tight these days.

Just rang the htc repair centre. they gonna pick it up tomiorrow and gimme a quote. fingers crossed.
What do you guys reckon? less or more then 150 quid?
Dunno how much itll cost but just use your master card thats in the second pic!
oh no! not another one! 2 in 2 days now. think i`l be using gaffer tape to secure it to my hand from now on! lol.. these phones seem fairly easy to brake, like they disintigrate when they hit the floor. the amount of times i dropped my topaz, these dont survive even one drop do they.. scary!
Bummer! You know that is why I use this. Really smart protection. Up to now, not a single problem with the screen! (fingers crossed)
No really, I know from past experiences how you feel. Good luck.
I heard it costs around 240+ euros. Not sure tho..
Buy a replacement screen off of eBay! 50euros and you'll repair your device
I totaly agree. It really is scary. My old touch pro was really friendly with floor after meeting it several times xD but HD2 just hate floor, doesnt it?
AMEX (B or P) .... Extended Warrenty???

Most phones will look aesthetically rubbish after they've been introduced to concrete but few will actually break. It's a shame but obviously one of the pitfalls of having a glass screen. Surely this would happen to the iPhone etc too? The HD2 has a bigger screen so obviously the chances of breakage must increase too. The moral of this story? Don't buy a glass-fronted handset if you are a poor juggler!
This kind of rubber cover could save you
I highly recommend getting a resin soft case off ebay. it protects from scratches, fingerprints, it's movable and yet hard/fitting. It'll protect from a drop too, then again cases only take so much of a drop...

Broken Glass after only 30cm down!!

About one hour ago, my Tab get down when i exit from my car.
About 30-35cm only, and see, glass broken... there is embarrassed for a terminal whit this price!!
So... someone have any idea about where i can find a glass for change it?
The glass is Gorilla Glass and should have stood up better, much better.
If I were you I would be asking Samsung to fix this under Warranty as clearly the glass has failed.
Gorilla glass or not, it depends on the way the Tab fell.

Gorilla glass is not indestructible. I got a scratch on my Galaxy S just from dropping it maybe 5 inches.
But that was face down on a gravel road. I am only mad at myself because it would be silly to expect any screen material to just take a rock getting slammed into it. The glass is tough but anything hard hitting it at just the right angle will still break it.

You obviously have not seen the You-Tube video where a chap fires from a compressed air chamber gun, THREE air pistol pellets onto the screen.

Actually I have but I think you are missing my point. It isn't about the amount of force being applied but rather how the force is applied. Like with my accident it hit at just the right angle on a sharp rock. BB's are round which leads me to believe the screen shouldn't be that easily scratched by them. But I bet if you tried that same exercise with a slingshot and a nice jagged rock the results would be quite different.
I have dropped it other times from much higher places and it survived just fine. It is all about how it lands and the TAB is pretty heavy so it doesn't take much distance for it to reach free fall speed. The TAB is going faster after falling one foot than another device that doesn't weigh as much. Sure they would eventually both reach free fall speed and fall at the same rate but the TAB being heavier gets there quicker.
Tomorrow i will try to call the customer care..
And what are they going to do for you? Tell you that your screen is broken? They aren't going to replace something that was clearly caused by mishandling. I know it sucks but you just have to accept it and be more careful from now on. There is probably a local shop than can repair it for you but as new as the TAB is they might have issues finding replacement parts.
I dropped my really hard from about 60cm up...face first onto a marble floor....nothing happened to it..
AFAIK Gorilla glass makes the screen hard to scratch. It shatters all the same as any other glass ;-)
Thats why they call it glass I guess.
Surface is hard but side impact looks like the cause in this case. My guess is if it had fell face down you would have had some and maybe possible no scratches.
Either way it just tells us what we already know. The TAB doesn't like being dropped. Much like a lot of other expensive electronic goodies.
I wish the TAB came with a lanyard because this thing can be a little slick and hard to hold onto. Especially if you swap hands half way through your movie and get lube on it. Almost dropped mine a couple of times already.
Again in the corner! If I see a picture of a device with a broken screen it is always in the corner. Think I'm going to get one of those ugly silicon cases:

As you can see the display is protected all away around the edge. I agree with jnutz, it is how the force is applied. Appearently those displays doesn't like a force momentum on the corners (or sideways on one of the edges of the screen)
OP, please prove me wrong because I really don't like those silicon cases, but did it just bounced on its corner or perhaps on the bottom edge?

Yep.
My Tab fell a couple of times already, but the silicon TPU skin saved it. By the way, I don't find my silicon cover particularly ugly, it is smooth and very discrete. Cheers, dan

dropped mine about yesterday about a foot and a half to the ground as it slipped out of my pocket, luckily no damages
This device is nearly 98% glass on the front with a thin strip of material bordering the screen.. it's going to happen exactly like you pictured it.
Get a case like the one with the kickstand if you want to better protect your Tab

[INFO] Gorilla Glass can scratch!

Just an FYI for people.
A screen protector is always a good investment, it also does a great job of keeping finer prints down.

Was there really a need for a thread saying you can scratch glass? Not being a jerk, just wondering
Also a heads up, if you punt it across the room it might break.

Yes, this is in regards to posts in the availability thread at the top. You would be surprised at the amount of people that think Gorilla Glass is impervious to all scratches.
also get a matte screen cover that glossy ass screen for the LOSS
Another FYI for people is you should always walk around with a surgical mask and rubber gloves on because that'll reduce you risk of catching any germs!

I tend to resell my tablets & cellphones when I upgrade so having a screen protector on them is a must. Plus, I rather be safe than sorry.

Waiting on Steinheil ultra clear protector.
Have that on my Evo and it's great. So much better than zagg/invisiblesheild/etc.
I like the zagg/invisible shield for the reason most hate them, the orange peel.
Feels better, and it destroys fingerprints, and glare.

I posted in that thread about me not using a screen protector. I don't put my device in a position that it would be that likely to get scratched. nothing is impervious, but you'd be surprised at how tough good glass can be. I just can't stand how my device looks and feels after putting on any screen protector.
In my experience with Gorilla Glass (on my Droid X) I haven't put a screen protector and the screen is still flawless. I have had it sitting on my lap in my SUV and as I exited the car it fell face down on the asphalt. Metal was nicked, screen was gorgeous as ever...
With a tablet... who's going to drop a tablet... Dont waste your money.
unless you grind sand or a diamond on your screen then you really don't need a screen protector....
Other things that might break the screen like dropping it from an airplane will more than likely break the plastic shell of the tab plus the processor and anything inside..

were you purposely trying to scratch your device?
I can't imagine your phones getting scratched by a screwdriver or ruler unless you were purposely trying to do so. You would of had to used a lot of force and purposely and aggressively rub the ruler/screwdriver on your device...
The thing is... Who in their right mind would do that?
Gorilla glass does scratch. if you are unlucky it can scratch given a fairly light contact with the wrong item!
It is much better than standard glass. It IS scratch resistant. But it CAN scratch!!
I have a couple of scratches on my Dell Streak from being in contact with keys.
I also have a scuff, across the screen, from dropping on the road.
However.. I won't be putting on a screen protector on my tablet. When I carry it, it wont be in my pocket, it will be in a neoprene case.

gorilla glass can definitely get scratched, however i'v had my phone in my pocket with my keys plenty of times and the screen has never been harmed... The way I see it, if I do something terrible enough to my device that leads to the screen scratching then more than likely I probably destroyed the entire thing.
ive scratched my transformer, not sure how it happened!

Wondering what happens if your note falls from 1 foot?

It shatters the screen!!!! motherf^#*!^#*(. I was getting out of my car and it fell directly on the screen in the garage.

That would make me sick. That is horrible. The first thing I did when I got my note is get a warranty from squaretrade and then get theftaware to catch the thief that trys to steal it.
I was hoping to never know.
My deepest sympathies and thoughts go out to you brother
ahhhh now you are making me worry . i dropped twice but seem to be ok as it land with the back. i should get an insurance for the phone i guess or just have to be more careful .
i feel for you.
The thing is that it is a big phone and hard to keep in the hand. A good case is a must.....I have a feeling I will not be the last.
holy no... that's awful!
Man, I feel for you. I drop my S2 multiple times and luckily only some scratch in the body.

If it still works, he should consider himself lucky. Things like is always makes me glad, I'm safe than sorry. I'm going to have to consider SquareTrade after I get my screen protector & case.
So we can assume now that the material used by Samsung is not the same in terms of strength and durability as Gorilla Glass.

Iphones are made out of crap Olephobic glass that they buy from 3rd world countries. It costs ≈200 USD to make a 16gb 4gs. Of course it's gonna get wrecked off 1 drop.

My recommendation get a semi hard rubber case takes a beating. I have never broke a screen in 25 years of having a phone. I did Have a Blackberry old Brick (big square ugly phone) I dropped it off a 40 ft roof and it bounced and the screen never broke......... Luck of the Irish I guess
Either way I have dropped alot of phones and the semi hard case seems to take the shock
Bummer man, probably 145usd for a screen assembly.........
Note hasn't even been out for that long so even if you don't have insure to cover it I'm pretty sure your still applicable to apply.
A device that big and heavy would really break easier than the smaller ones I guess.

It works perfect no body damage just the screen
Its not gorilla glass its just a thin piece of common glass. I am pretty sure it broke because it landed flat on the screen.
The problem with any glass screen isn't that they are "shatter" proof, but they are scratch resistant. Just about any piece of glass tinsel strength will resist a scratch (except for a diamond), but a sudden impact, especially on an edge will pretty much shatter it. The gorilla glass can flex, if you've seen the video, but I bet they never show anyone striking it on the edge. Even though in your event, it fell on the face, from the look of the photo, it landed on the edge first, even if just by a small amount.
I have a Dell Streak and the first thing I do before exiting my vehicle, is to make sure it is in the pouch before I get out of the car. My previous phones (HTC's) got dropped several times getting into/out of my car. I use to keep an otter box case on it, but they are so bulky, not many cases around for belt use.
I feel for you, but, I bet just about any large surface area piece of glass would do the same thing. Head over to the Dell Streak forum and you'll see a few broken glass streaks.

Does this thing have Gorilla Glass 2 or 3?

I can't find a straight answer anywhere on whether or not our beloved LG G2s have Gorilla Glass 2 or 3. Some say 3, some say 2. Corning says 2 on their site.
No idea wtf it has.
Can anyone confirm?

I don't know but I'm pretty weary . and also relieved I got a screen protector on mine. After less than one day of being extremely careful I noticed 2 very very minor light scratches. I wouldn't have noticed them but when I was cleaning the screen with the microfiber they give you with the Spigen screen protectors I noticed them... like I said very small but they were scratches nonetheless. I had a optimus g pro that seemed to scrape up way easier than my note2 and previous devices.. or I may have just been really unlucky. If these have gorilla glass then I guess its exactly the same and it's my fault.. or if there's something different they may be weaker.

You can ask http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/ how come they produce something that is not useful or needed and yet manage to sell it and survive on market?
If it doesn't matter why does it exist. Well you can call it delusion, but to me and millions of consumers it makes a difference
it exists so regular and less and less stuff can scratch it and to make it stronger. its pretty good at that. Your logicis flawed into thinking I said it was useless. Its not...
However a grain of sand can have a much higher hardness and thus scratch it.
No need pretending its invincible if it is not. Which is why I suggest get a screenprotector anyway

I totally agree. It's like having a vasectomy and thinking the Dr's expert opinion will protect you 100%.
I've owned all versions of gorilla glass(have several teen agers) and they all all scratch easily. Unless you never expose your phone to the inside of your pocket or the real world, you need a screen protector. IMO
My Gnex was case less, screen protector less and I carried it around in my pocket in West Texas for 2 years. West Texas blows hard silicone sand- and other bad stuff all the time. Its one of the worst weather places in the world! I also let my 3 year old son play with it and watch Thomas the train when he would get bored at Dr. office etc. I have a huge 'janitor would be proud' set of keys that I kept in my pocket with my phone. Ive drop kicked it 2 times on accident getting out of a deer stand...

Needless I'll post some pictures of it with no noticeable scratches and only fine scratches that would annoy MONK and OCD people, but not a sane normal person. Maybe I'm lucky- but I also had an HTC incredible who fared the same over the same amount of time.
Point? IDK- maybe the curved screen made it less scratch prone? I did notice 2 small very fine scratches that were on my G2 when I placed the screen protector on it. I am currently rocking the Folio case- but I've got 2 coming in the mail, to try out a TPU and a knock off otterbox. I think that in my experience the glass on my phones have been pretty tough, and I didn't notice or care about the little scratches I would get. I have a feeling a lot of people need to get some fluvoxamine and chill...
lol thats like free facial scrubs daily nice
4th day of my g2 and i havent installed covers or screen protector.. still scratchless..
Edit: i saw a 1 hairline scratch today...
Im getting a screen protector tommorrow...
