Hey everyone.
I've had my phone for about two weeks, its been in a rubber case since undoing. I removed the case today to clean the screen and found these 3 cracks in the side of the case. What should I do? I've been very careful with the phone, its never been dropped.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

**Update**
Alright, after much back order and delay, I got my replacement Evo over the weekend, free of charge (it was past my 30 day return). Its a hw Rev 3 Nova just like my last one too. Im glad Sprint did the right thing, maybe knowing this will help others with the same problem.
On a side note, the nice lady that was helping me was taking a long time to port my number over to the new phone. I asked her if everything was alright, and she smiled and replied "Yes, the phone activated just fine. Now Im downloading the new android update for you." ahhhhhh! I kindly asked her to stop ASAP and told her I would apply it later. That would have been aweful, stuck with an unrooted froyo.
Anyways, just thought Id share. Good luck to the rest of you having this problem!

If it has never been dropped or abused, I'd suggest returning it. There's no reason the plastic should be cracking on its own. If anything, something went wrong with the way yours was manufactured.
The cracks are at equal parts down the side of the phone, and then theres an extra one. I have been super careful with this phone, its not been dropped, nor does it have a single scratch of any type on it anywhere. It's in mint condition.
Has anyone else had said problems?

Which method did you root your phone with?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I dont remember. I was rooted, and than updated my phone to the latest moto release. Lost root and than i had to flash somethig to get root back and than to unlock the hotspot app.
This was about 2 or 3 months back. All was ok till about a month ago, when i dropped the phone to the floor. Noticed the screen issue shortly after. Not sure if the drop caused this tho. There are no scratches on the screen, and it had a silicone case on it.

do you think the problem came from dropping your phone or were you messing with something on your phone? and yes your warrentty is voided, but you could get your own new screen on ebay for like 30 buxs and fix it yourself
Not sure if the drop caused it. Maybe. I noticed the pb soon after. I didn't mees with the phone, other than rooting and enaibeling hotspot.
The screen on ebay, is it the same as the stock one? Same quality?

Try a advanced restore of pds.img from the cwm only to see if that fixes your problem.. Thats if you did backup from cwm..
No, i didn't back up anything. Just rooted. I barely mannaged to do that.

My phone had the same thing and I sbf'd back to 1.26 and took it back no problems. Mine was also unlocked.

I also have that problem, the problem is with the touchscreen not the software. At first, the touchscreen will not work for sometime you'll need to turn the screen off and on again. The problem will start more frequent. Then, the touchscreen on some part of the screen will not work at all. Only to fix is to call ATT for a repair. But, I live in Thailand and I brought mine at US. So, it not worth sending it back. I buy the touchscreen off ebay for $60 and change it myself. Working great now.
Pretty cheap on ebay, some for $40. My screen started acting the exact same way. I honestly believe it's heat damage. I remember reading that there are layers of the glass that are glued together. Extreme heat could cause the layers to come apart enough that sections of the screen are unusable.
My screen is exactly as the OP said, about a half-inch from the bar at the top. I noticed it soon after I started mounting the phone in my car near the top of the windshield where it could get some steady sunlight (obviously I didn't realize it was doing that until I noticed this problem).
I just ordered my replacement off ebay and will give it a shot. It's worth $40 if it'll let me use my phone properly again and hold off having to get a new phone prior to my upgrade price kicking in.
Hopefully installation won't be too hard. Good luck to the rest of ya!
This happen to my boyfriend's phone recently as well. I posted everywhere trying to find a solution but no one could help. It started to get worse after about a week or so where another section, towards the bottom of the screen, became unresponsive as well. My boyfriend finally called Motorola and sent it in for repair. We don't have ATT's insurance so we didn't try that way. Anyways, he's suppose to receive the phone this Monday...we'll see if it's fixed.

Did your touchscreen come with the adhesive? If not, you'll need to be extremely careful when you remove the old one cause you'll need the adhesive or you'll need the two sided tape with <0.25mm thick and apply it to around the touchscreen and remember to apply it as a close system or the dust will go under your screen.
If you need more info just PM me
I think i.ll call moto.

Did u get it back? Is it fixed?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Mine had the same issue, ive unlocked, rooted, modded the rom and radio, so no going to ATT, instead i took it to UbreakItIFixIt, just google them, best $99 i spent and kept all my custom goodies!
Sorry I haven't responded, hopefully you got your phone fixed but just in case you haven't...The phone came back and he hasn't had a problem with it whatsoever. The rep on the phone didn't know what was wrong with it or what they did to fix it but whatever they did, it worked. It took about a week or so to get the phone back and the only thing he had to pay for was shipping the phone out.
So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.
cool story bro.
I prefer Samsung too. But in the long run I'm going to go with cool story bro

And, to be honest, I believe OP is only presenting a very small part of the story.
Notice how, toward the end of his ramble, he said he dropped the phone?

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.
I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
I posted this to get up to the 10 post limit for the dev forums, thanks. I feel validated since it was already towards the top of the page, and my post adds about as much to these forums as the OP
Saw a few threads about broken devices so I figured I'd try to get everyone to post in one thread to help me decide if this phone can survive me lol. This is for keeping track of what seems to break the most. Please try to keep questions out and use the format below.
Samsung Galaxy S III
Version: (USA or international)
Color:
Case: ( type of case, or " no case")
Cause of damage: (drop from x height etc)
Damage location: (frnt/bck/side/screen)
Picture of damage:
Or people could take better care of their phones rather than deliberately putting them to the test to see if Gorilla Glass is all that good or dropping them from a height!, its a phone not a bullet-proof vest! Pointless thread! All these people seem to be having problems with their phones but mine has been absolutely tip top! I cannot fault it! But people nit pick about the stupid things!

I know how to take care of a phone, so do most. Accidents happen. I, as well as many others I'm sure, have placed a phone in what we thought was a safe spot, and still had it fall, or someone else accidentally knocks it down. I have a 3 year old. I'd love to see you hand a phone to a small child and have them not drop it. Or have it slide out of a pocket. Thanks for playing.

People aren't nit picking, some people have legitimate claims. It's a phone and believe it or not, accidents do happen.
This is where we've reached, fan boys actually blaming the consumer now for accidentally dropping their phone's, instead of blaming the real culprit.

Who's the genius that would hand a 700$ phone to a 3 year old in the first place?
That would be no accident, it would mean the parent is missing more than a couple of braincells.

our little girl plays learning games on both mine and the lady's phone, along with grandma's tablet. All three of the devices have more than stood up to the task. She's only dropped the tablet once, neither phone yet. Also, not everything is out of reach to the little one. Sometimes I'll set it on the wide arm of the couch to charge while I sit there. If I get up, I'm not going to Unplug it just to get a drink in the next room. At $300+ and listed as a " solid, sturdy, durable etc" product, you expect it to withstand a drop or two. My Droid X has been knocked off counters and such by friends( where it SHOULD be safe), dropped by myself, I've gotten hung up in the charger cord once despite my best effort to keep it out of the way, pulling my phone with it. Hit bumps in a vehicle dumping it from the car holder, as it clicked into place, but didn't actually secure. I've had coolant and other automotive fluids spilled on me, or splash onto my phone etc. I was using the LED light to find small puddles in the basement once, dropped it into the water after tripping over something I didn't see, its worked its way out of my deep side pocket while I ran once, fell onto my foot and got kicked across the ground. I don't keep it there anymore but the pocket was 3" deeper than the phone, should have been secure. Point is, you can't predict everything around you, or control it. Accidents happen regardless unless you move like a turtle, even then it may still happen. So can we lose the stupid and stay on topic please?

Still, it is a 3 year old. Why don't you just get her a cheap tablet of her own to remove your expensive phones out of the equation?
Also, even though the rest was painfully hard to read, (wall of text) I still did and I agree that devices should be build more sturdily when they cost 300+$.
Accidents happen in life, but we can do things to avoid them and minimize the damage.

Give the guy a break. If you read the original thread I don't see it as that bad of an idea.
Hi pals. This is my first post in this forum and hope many will follow. I'll get straight to the point.
I've been away from XDA for quite some time and haven't followed HTC One forums. Today, I looked through few pages but couldn't actually find what I was looking for, a thread of all the defects of the phone. When I first bought HTC One X I did a thorough research on the phone and keeping everything in mind I went for the phone. I knew every single defect the early batches had so I got a right phone back then. The problem is, I don't really know what hardware defects are there in the early batches of the phones being shipped and I'm really in a mood to get one as soon as next week.
Further, the price of HTC One in my area is at $860 and it's something I can't comprehend. The price is $575 so with little alteration it should be around $600 max. One of my friends is in States these days and he'll be back next week. I'm gonna ask him to get One for me on his way back. I need to know are there any defects in the phone? I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE OR CLAIM FOR WARRANTY ETC so I need something solid. The price of the phone is not going down soon here so I have to get it from the US through my friend. But I don't wanna end up with a defected phone. Please the users of HTC One and everybody else who knows write me here if there's something.
If you still are unable to understand what I mean then have a look HERE. This is what I want.
Regards

Ever heard that if you don't have anything positive to say, then don't say anything at all? The OP is only trying to help.
On mine OP, I have 1 dead pixel at the top left (not enough of an annoyance to swap the handset) I've noticed that where I've been pulling out the charger, the plastic seems to have raised up a bit and also when using for a while it gets pretty hot but I think this is just down to the metal casing.
Other things I've heard is the capacative buttons being unresponsive at times, a few camera issues that seem to have been sorted with an update and the gap issue mentioned above.
Other than that I can't say I've got any huge problems.

Almost no problems here, the bottom part of the volume button is ever so slightly raised higher than the top one. Although there is some game lag with games such as doodlejump, temple run, temple run 2, jetpack joyride. Overall this is the best gadget I've ever owned and I've owned lots
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
As far as the problems concerned,
tiny gap on top or bottom of the phone(about 15 - 20% of the phone)
Unresponsive back button(most of the handset)
dead pixel(5 - 10% of the phone)
Less than a day(12-14hrs) battery life(i think no problem after few cycles)
contrast of the screens are varying on different carriers(not big issue)
there is already one thread that is discussing these issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247601
No gaps, the white plastic bezel around the phone is a good spot to check around, mine has what looks like a crack through it, and a few flaws. Pretty decent light bleed in the bottom right as well.
Comin guys this gap issue is way overblown.
After reading this forum about the gap issue, and the screen is not flush enough issue, I was scared to order one. But I did anyway, and my dev edition came in perfect condition.
If it weren't about reading people complaining about the gap issue, I wouldn't have noticed it or try to look for it. And when I did, I saw this mini tiny minuscule gap only on one corner, you can't see it with the naked eyes, you have to slide you finger in there in order to feel it. I was like noway I am returning the phone because of this.
I didn't even bother to download a pixel tester to see if there are any dead pixel, to my naked eyes I can't see any.
Enjoy the phone , I am sure you will not keep it for more than 2 years before another one comes out and you decide to upgrade.

I never noticed it before and kinda wish I was still ignorant about it. I did have to pull a small hair out of the gap the other day, but now my skinomi invisible shield covers the gap. I'm also having trouble with is the back and home button not responding all the time, but then I'll push it like 10 times in a row and it will always work. I think it's a software issue because it seems to only happen in certain menues. Has anyone else noticed that? If this continues to annoy me I'm going to have to switch to the s4.

Latest firmware upgrade fixes button sensitivity issues. Certain makes of screen protectors don't help either.

Anyone have light bleed from the capacitive buttons?

I am using 1.29.1540 and I do not have issues with the capacitive button.
Sometimes, I press it and it does not respond. My trick is to use the palm of your thumb not the tip, so that you can cover more area when pressing the button.

Why do we need two threads about issues with the HTC One? We'll just attract trolls.
By the way, defect means fault that does not meet the original spec. All defective HTC One devices should get replaced under warranty.

I just cut holes in my screen protector and the response problem seems to be completely cured.
My opinion based off what I experienced with this issue is that the screen protector cut off some sensitivity plus touching the back or home button and part of the screen at the same time is what caused this problem.

Common defects have been mentioned in this article. A survey/blog was carried out.

Hi pals. This is my first post in this forum and hope many will follow. I'll get straight to the point.
I've been away from XDA for quite some time and haven't followed HTC One forums. Today, I looked through few pages but couldn't actually find what I was looking for, a thread of all the defects of the phone. When I first bought HTC One X I did a thorough research on the phone and keeping everything in mind I went for the phone. I knew every single defect the early batches had so I got a right phone back then. The problem is, I don't really know what hardware defects are there in the early batches of the phones being shipped and I'm really in a mood to get one as soon as next week.
Further, the price of HTC One in my area is at $860 and it's something I can't comprehend. The price is $575 so with little alteration it should be around $600 max. One of my friends is in States these days and he'll be back next week. I'm gonna ask him to get One for me on his way back. I need to know are there any defects in the phone? I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE OR CLAIM FOR WARRANTY ETC so I need something solid. The price of the phone is not going down soon here so I have to get it from the US through my friend. But I don't wanna end up with a defected phone. Please the users of HTC One and everybody else who knows write me here if there's something.
If you still are unable to understand what I mean then have a look HERE. This is what I want.
Regards
