Any tips on touching up the chrome paint work. Dropped it getting out of the car. Scuffed the corners.

i hate you
Wrong screen protector and it's on upside down.
of course its upsidedown? better some old screen protector than non.
Any one tips on touching up the plastic chrome edging.
Ouch. Looks like you have the wrong sized screen protector on - it looks the same as mine. Came with my Case-Mate, not sure why they provided the wrong protector. Maybe they hadn't produced the right ones yet and and thought the wrong size was better than nothing.
That my worst fear ..ouch
Too bad the didn't get rid of the crome and go all black like on the nexus s
I did this to my vibrant...did u get at store? If so just swap it. Make something up like randomly rebooting

get a black (not translucent) silicone case, and you are all set.
I did the same thing like second week I had my AT&T Captivate, did not bother me much. No phone is gonna stay scar-free forever
i just want to say:
O dear think its time to use my case

well if you want guys who have lots of paints, and who might be able to cover it, then try looking for one of them game workshop places, they have loads of paints in there and other stuff, I dropped a hd cam year ago and I passed by one of these shops and guy in there found a paint to cover it perfect.....just a thought
pray that the phone starts making awful noises and constantly reboots itself.
Then you have a reason to take it to Samsung repair centre.
The warranty i believe is 2years.
I ordered my cases from 2 ebay Us sellers and still haven't received them. Sad my phone from OK arrived first.

All these "I dropped my phone" threads is freaking me out.
Why is this phone is fragile? I've dropped my DX several times on Concrete even, it's still ticking along. Someone dropped GS3 30" in carpet floor and screen is f***up.
I'm picking up two GS3's tomorrow, but I'm terrified to use it. Haven't order a case yet. Should I looking into getting insurance? What's the best place to buy Ins. Tmobile store? SquareTrade? Esquared?
Only a few amount of broken phones compared to the millions that have already shipped worldwide isn't something you should panic about.
I think I have seen 3 or 4 total threads like that. Out of possibly 10 million devices sold and several thousand xda members, I think you're just worrying too mulch. Just be careful with your phone, don't worry about it too much.
I take my phone into the gym while I lift and its fallen out of my pocket a few times. Phone hasn't broken yet I'm not too worried about it being fragile
Well...it is a bigger screen. So that has something to do with it.
If it's that worrisome for you, put a nice case on it like an Otterbox or a Sylicrylic Dual Pro. No more worries
I watched the drop tests for the international version and saw how fragile it was so I bought a case before I even got mine. It went on before I even left T-mobile.

Seriously....is there some phone you can drop and not have it break that would cause you not to freak out then you should probably buy it!!!!!!
Right way!!!!!!

I feel my GS3 so fragile. So I ordered Otterbox Commuter for that.
My prior smartphone is a Samsung Captivate that feels stronger than GS3.
Mine actually fell off a 3' shelf today on a hard floor. I have just a cheap hard case on it but it took the brunt of the fall and not the phone. Luckily too it landed on the back. Ugh my commuter case can't get here fast enough

I dropped mine at work, right onto the tile, on the left back corner, from chest height and it literally put the two lightest scratches possible.
Nothing broke, nothing damaged, and scratches you wouldn't notice unless you're me and you know they're there.
Pulled up to 7-11 this morning for some coffee, One was on my lap, parked, opened door, got out, SLAP!!! It fell face down flush with the ground (asphalt). I think I stared at it on the ground for about 3 minutes, before my eyes teared up I decided to face my fears and pick it up. The glass was perfect, no scratches, nicks, or cracks... I was VERY surprised. It fell hard, the aluminum on all 4 corners does have a nick in it, but the glass was fine.... Awesome.

You got lucky!
I think because all 4 corners are chipped, most of the force was distributed and saved your screen.

Forget the Otterbox, if you can get this instead go for it.
I bought one the other day and it is easily comparable to the Otterbox.

The One X is tough. I've dropped it on my hardwood floor many times, phone still looks great. Tiny dent on the bottom. Still upgrading to a One though, I'll just be more careful.

I was shoved down a flight of steps yesterday by an inconsiderate schoolboy, and there are now two large cracks across the screen of my phone. While the phone still works, I want to replace the screen and speaker grilles. Fingers crossed, hopefully HTC knows how to fix this.

He was alone, I yelled at him, he cried, I relented. I'm weak like that. Ah well.
Seems the 4 corners of the phone are slightly raised as I dropped mine face down and only one corner has a little nick.
HTC phones have always been indestructible for me especially the screens. Galaxy s3 and note 2 screens are very fragile.

I was just thinking the same.
I'm a fan of the Baseus Slim flip case. It's cheap, good quality and it protects the screen.
I never thought I'd like a flip case but it's actually really unobtrusive and when I'm home I take it out.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300885232164
I loved the slip case for the Sensation. It was light, thin, aesthetically pleasing and protected the phone really well. I don't understand why HTC didn't continue making them in that style. They went back to the chunky ones with the pull tab for the One X and they don't do a slip case for the One at all. I much prefer being able to feel the lines of such a beautiful device when I'm using it.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180718618384
I would never have a flip case that holds my bank cards though. Firstly it's very nature makes it larger than necessary but you're also making a very convenient little package and advertisement for muggers and pick pockets. Not clever if you live in a city.

I gotta ask you something guys.
I'm trying to decide what to buy. Flipcase, pouch or some clear gel case.
I really want to buy a pouch because I don't want to hide this beauty. So my question is; when do you think people drop their phone most? while talking or while taking it out of pocket? I mean if I got pouch it'll protect it if I drop when taking out of my pocket. But It wouldn't help if it was in my hand (obviously)
I always like pouches. All of my phones look like new when I finish with them.
In my opinion, skins don't protect the phone it's so easy to scratch the screen in your pocket and screen protectors look like ****.
Flip covers aren't ideal either. You could easily get keys or loose change between the screen and the flap, when in your pocket.
I like pouches because you hold the phone as it was intended to be and you view it as intended. What's the point of having a beautiful device if it's hidden under layers of gel, leather or plastic? It's like everyone who has an iPhone is always telling me how beautiful it is and that's why they don't want an android phone. Then I ask them the last time they actually saw their beautiful iPhone out of it's case and that makes them think.
The difficulty I'm finding with the One and a slip case is as I pointed out above. HTC made a great slip case for the Sensation but the last few they've made have sucked. I have a One X slip case and it's huge both on the phone and in the hand. I've tried loads of third party slip cases in the past, with other phones, and the main issues are quality and that they're generally ill fitting. Not to mention they often look like crap.
The reason I started buying official HTC cases was that I was sick of buying new cases all the time and I saw one cheap and decided to try it. I have to say that the quality is generally way better with their own cases and I've bought official ever since (I've owned six HTC phones). This time round though I think they've screwed it up. The official cases for the One are too bulky. I want a tight fitting slip case that covers the top of the phone well but is easy enough to remove the phone from to answer quickly.
You also have to consider the material. When I first started buying cases I really didn't want leather and I bought ones made from textiles but they aren't so easy to slip in and out of your pocket. In fact gel cases pretty much grip the material in your pockets, this could cause you to fumble with the phone to get it out of your pocket and drop it. I say that because it has happened to me before and I had a few near misses. So. Anyway. I ended up realising why it makes a lot of sense to go with leather. It's just as easy to get in and out of your pocket as with no case at all.

I just pulled the S4 out of my trouser pocket (front) and the screen has been broken. :crying:
It did not drop or so but I went some kilometers in the car and it got some tension in the pocket Apparently the plastic chassis is rather soft and could not save the screen enough.
Can you show some pictures
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 2
Here you are. You can see the crack only when you look very closely. Don't know how to photograph this. When the screen is off you don't see nothing.
Id say it is a bit weak, Ive cracked my front glass (digitiser is fine) between the home button across the menu touch to the side. Ok I dropped it from 4 feet onto concrete but I dropped my S2 about a hundred times before the screen gave. It (S4) is still fully functioning so doesn't bother me, It was the second drop- the first just dented and chipped the chrome effect plastic surround bezel that really should be made of titanium on this phone as its so light and fragile.
I wont swap it on insurance exchange until I break it proper and it is unusable, Orange UK are very good with insurance, £25 admin fee and courier swap the next day.
Ive only had it 2 weeks !

You should be more careful with your devices. You seem to drop them a lot. In less than two weeks you dropped your S4 two times. Something is definetly wrong with you. Put on a soft case at least.

Buy rigid screen covering cases, pockets aren't safe they're either tight and exert pressure or they're loose and bang about, the phone is worth a lot of money and deserves protecting.

That's a cracked amoled and not the glass, which explains why you can't see anything with the screen off.
If you've ever seen an s3 / s4 amoled you'd know exactly how thin and fragile they are. Best way to explain it is like an egg shell. It breaks to bits when any pressure is exerted on it.
So it seems that pressure from your trousers has flexed the body and cracked the inner amoled screen.

Thank you for your reply. It might be that there were some keys in my pocket when I had to carry some heavy stuff around.
Now I learned how fragile it is the hard way. I just hate those flip cover cases but it is "highly recommended" apparently.
I purchased the unit two weeks ago. I will see how nice the return policy is.
Your not alone Tricki There are at least 3 other threads with the same reports of the S4 breaking in pockets!
Mine broke in my pocket also!
To all these people saying there must be more to this story, mine was taken out of my car mount, put in my front right empty pocket (screen towards leg) after I got out of my car, I walked into my house took the phone back out of my pocket to discover the LCD had cracked! No physical damage anywhere on the outside of the phone, digitiser completely fine! Phone has never been dropped and hasn't been knocked on anything! Every other phone I have ever owned well over a dozen, over even more years has survived being carried like this!
To say the Amoled is very thin and fragile in the S4 is an understatement!
This is not new. Happend to the Galaxy S3 as well: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/777720?start=0&tstart=0

Actually, your report made me think about amoled displays. If they have this type of weakness, it makes them really fragile compared to LCD displays.
Also, my tip was meant to be general. I sometimes forget my phone on the pocket but I usually tend to take it out before sitting. Your report makes me think about this even more.
I wonder if this happens on other non-oled devices.
And one more thing,just because your pocket is on the front does not mean that a phone does not slide to the side.
Never heard of problems like this from the S2. I used to have one. I never took special care about it. It just worked fine and survived some drops.
I think a phone should survive some stress. Perhaps it is just the combination of size and plastic chassis.with the Galaxis which followed the S2.
bad apple?

It took me 4 days before I botched my pristine One. I dropped it head-first from my lap when I was sitting on ceramic floor. Hence the dent on chamfered edge of the top corner
The dent is small enough to be unnoticable unless under scrutiny. But it's still there, especially visible on certain angle.
I just realised aluminium is such a soft metal, it's quite ductile, well.. given the drop distance.
I think I'll just leave the dent as it is, dont want to risk getting more imperfection, what about you?
I had a case on (Capdase Karapace touch), but it's a minimalist case that doesn't cover the upper and lower part of the phone. I want to expose the shiny aluminium. Guess I kinda get what I want, duh
What about you folks? I'm sure there are a few of you that still has his/her One in perfect condition since day one.

You're VERY lucky that's typically the most vulnerable way to damage a glass. All my phones have been in perfect shape except for one. My girlfriend bought me the DNA for $740 cash for Valentines Day and when it was only three days old I cracked it. I'm talking nearly at launch, before it's repairable, and I was afraid of getting one back with a locked bootloader so I didn't insurance claim it.
Man was I scared to tell her. It was actually done when we were getting frisky in the bed and it and my Nexus 7 were under my pillow and I kind of fell down from a kneeling/standing position on top of it. When I finally told her she said "Whew, baby. Really? That's it, just the phone? I was so scared you got some kid pregnant or killed one of your exgirlfriends or something. You've really been freaking out I thought something terrible happened."
Of course I was like "HELLO! Something Terrible DID happen. I broke my DNA!!!"
Ended up trading an old device for another one because I was scared when they started RMA'ing devices with updated hboots that couldn't be unlocked and I'd rather not have a phone than have a stock one. Then I decided that was a defeatist attitude and got a riff box No lockin me out baby.

Lol That's a long story bro, you've got a nice gf btw hehe
Regarding the drop, really it's less than 20 cm (~8 in) distance, the phone slipped from my laps when I was sitting on the ground level. All of my plastic phone survive without a scratch.
I kinda pissed off with myself for not Choosing a full body case, tsk
Well whats done is done.
Double post
It took me a couple months. My headphones hung on my car when I was getting out and took a fall face first into asphalt. All that happened was I got minor scuffs on two of the corners.
Day after I got it (about two weeks ago)
Was on my way to the mall specifically to get a case for it (Incipio something) and it slipped outta my pocket getting out of the cab.
Nothing too major, but pretty annoying that I did it so soon!
My wife shattered her One less than 10 days after we bought ours. Not sure how it happened, but it clearly took a trip to pound town by way of ceramic floor (indoor water park). Praise Jeebus for insurance. :good:
Get a case.

It took quite a while. I'm in the marching band for my university, and I needed to call my mom while I was out so I had it in our pocket we have in the uniform.
While we were stretching I bent down, came back up and my phone fell straight onto the concrete ( probably 4.5 feet)
It managed the hit the crease between 2 slabs right over the ir blaster. So I have a nice dent...
Screen is still flawless. Lol.

Did mine yesterday. Had it wrapped in a towel on a radiator so I could listen to music in the bathroom. Somehow the phone got out of the towel, fell down the back of the radiator and jammed itself behind the pipes.
It's in an official hardshell case but still managed to chip the black plastic by the screen. Not that visible but I know it's there.

mines in mint condition no marks or scuffs i have the red version since september before that i had black one that didnt get scuffed or marked either
I have a pre-order HTC One. No scratches, dents, scuffs. It's caseless.
I never had problems with the Evo3d like others did though. Two years and mine was still 100% perfect.
I already had 2 cases before i even got the One. I used the Commuter for the first 3.5 months and kept the phone in prestine condition. Recently i got tired of hiding the design, but i didn't want to risk scuffing the aluminum, so i went with a transparent case. So mine is still in perfect condition, i only took it out to apreciate the design once in a while in controlled conditions (usually at home).
I think going with a transparent case is the perfect compromise between looks and protection, only disadvantage is slightly ticker and can't feel the metal construction in your hands.
This is standard with me and phones I have... I've got the One for six months now, and I'm really happy to have the screen unscratched but the phone has fell out of my paints already several times...
I don't know why and or whatm, but this happens with every phone I've got way too often...
if i would use a case ... i may have gone into ordinary galaxy series with a big stupid case !
i got the ONE for the Built quailty premuim aluminum ... too pretty to hide it in a case.
although i use a bumper (backless case)
I got one spot on the back where it went from black to silver and i did it on the first day. It arrived in the mail before work and i was like no case no protector, But was dying to use my new toy so i took it to work. Was careful the whole day. Then i put my phone down on the table didn't slide it or nothing picked it up and there it was a dot. I have no idea how it happened it wasn't there when i opened it from the box. There was no rough are on the table neither. That day on break i went out and bought a cheap case and a cheap protector until i could order better ones..
Ive dropped my phone couple times n still no sign of marks.I have thin transparent case which has been awesome which also provides grip to it
