Edit: this's just a test and the owner of XZ allow us to do. So you should read carefully the red sentence before criticizing
Ok, this's just a clip made by me and my friends. Acro S & XZ swim in Thai Suki (Thailand Hot-Pot). All of them got drunk.

How would one write in Thai....'More money than sense'? Absurd behaviour and best kept to three year olds.
problem is when that XZ eventually needs repair the very morons who do this sort of thing will be the FIRST to come here, moan and say how crap the phone is? beggars all belief.
Such a shame a quality phone is found in the hands of ones who don't deserve it.
Have a look on You tube there is another idiot dropping a hammer on the XZ and commenting that the glass broke?:silly:
One has to ponder is some of these 'people' are hired by another brand to do such incredibly stupid puerile things?

The one dropping hammer on XZ is really a crazy troll. We just want to make some tests with XZ. The owner of the XZ and Acro S in clip willing to let us do this "hotpot test".

So you are "Just testing the phone". Where does it say in any Sony literature that the XZ can be cooked in soup?
Do I take it you don't test your cars safety features by driving your car into a brick wall to see if the safety air bags function? Grow up. If you want to use such adult devices people like you should be made to take some sort of IQ test first. So many people would just love to own such a decent top line phone and here you are abusing one like a three year old. If you cant see how absurd your behaviour is there is zero point in my debating it with you.

Ya, exactly, it was water proof but not means to torturing it also.
I only try with clean water before and not even plan for sea water due to it salt level which will impact the phone maybe not now, but future if you not clean up completely after put.

Love it.
I love all the Samsung name calling that's going on in the comments of the article in the OP.
So, lets look at this, 9 million devices pre-ordered, god only knows how many others sold, already. 1 in 9 million catches fire and melts, and all of a sudden Samsung has gone completely wrong?
I wish people would grow up. As for the one guy with a One X, I just like a comment I read here on XDA somewhere that people justify to themselves their purchase by making out they got the best device for one reason or another.
All I can say is, when it comes from an S3 owner, it's true, we really do have the best consumer mobile device on the planet xD

If you bothered looking up the other discussion thread and the original photos of the damaged phone, you'd soon see that the battery is one of the few components it could NOT have been.
i hope that fake picture does work it's magic like it was supposed to.
so guys, please watch those pictures closely. it' is claimed that the phone melted by itself, right ? so this means the heat source has to be inside of the phone. if you burn something from the outside with a lighter for example you will get black marks on the item where you hold the lighter to and not so dark black marks on the areas around it.
so when this phone did melt because of an very high internal heat source, why is the most black part of the phone on the outside and the less black marks further away from the phones border?
in addition to that just look at a picture of the disassembly of the phone and where the heat source would have needed to be, if it melted because of inner parts of the phone. (keep in mind it's still BS because the marks that are visible on the phone point to someone using external heat.)
at the point of the black marks is only a screw hole (left to the microusb port), so do you really think the holding of a screw or a screw itself would magically heaten up to such an extent?
if you check the other ifixit-teardown pictures you clearly see that apart from that metallic holding for a screw there is not even a chip where the supposed melt down occured. surely the creater of this fake picture wants to make you believe that the empty space did heat up so much that it melted, lol
i don't want to point fingers here, but it is extremely telling how much energy some people spend just to convince others that the galaxy s3 is crap and their phone (most of the cases the one x) is better. there is no reasonable explanation for those people other than psychological deficit which leads them to spend unusual amounts of energy to worsen samsungs reputation or justify their own choice of another phone. a healthy human being would just not care about other phones. if you are satisfied with your own decision you are at ease and would not even try to point fingers at others and how the others are (allegedly) worse.
the fact that samsung said "it nows of that case" is the standard call center reply, to let the customers think that "everything is in check". just think what the feel of the customer was, when the support tells him "hey, we never heard of such a thing and have no clue what to do".

If you actually check iFixit yourself as you suggested and check the back of the board at the same position you will notice that the bottom capacitive microphone is in exactly that position, and since it is a type of capacitor, it can blow up like that. Stop with your consipiracy bull****, malfunctions happen and this is just another of them, although a weird one. It had nothing to do with the battery or any other of the more complex components.

There is a similar post for the AT&T model.
Since I got the unlocked international version through Amazon, I have no warranty support at all here in U.S. This sucks.
If I had known about this problem, I would have never bought this phone. I am really pissed, and will not buy any Samsung phones designed this way.
I've read that Galaxy S3 also has this problem. I imagine that Note 2 will probably be the same.
3 MICRO cracks after 9 months and you say 'do not buy' Seems totally over the top to me.

Wow, so offensive here. No I'm not drunk. Yes I know it's just a device, albeit a poor quality one. it's not a scratch, it's a real crack. A plastic piece separated into two or more pieces. Big difference there. Third, I'm not trolling so please stop trolling.
I paid $600 for a high end device, and I expect a certain level of quality with that price tag. I'm not as rich as you guys so I take care of my gadgets and use it for at least two years. I found mine having this crack after 9 months of careful use, most likely developed over time. It's just now that I found this while cleaning it.
This is not an isolated issue as I can easily find people with same issues. Here are some of the "0.001% of people" complaining about the cracks because the bad build quality/material.

I don't understand why you guys are so defensive about this.
I bought my black note in Feb 2012. I just looked at mine with a magnifying glass, no micro cracks in mine. Little rough on one corner where my Macbook Air fell on it, what a heart attack that was. It just ripped my screen protector. I say just throw a tpu cover on it and forget about it.
White historically has issues. The HTC One X had issues with white and I remember the White HTC Vouge for Verizon had a slight cracking issue. I wonder in order to make it white they have to add too much TiO2 in and less plasticizer making it more brittle. I usually try to avoid white phones.
Just checked my black Note, purchased in November 2011. No cracks at all, and I've dropped it a couple of times including one time when I dropped it face down onto a wet concrete floor (the rough type you find outdoors).

You pretty much have to expect rudeness when posting here. Report them or ignore them.
As for the warranty -- are you sure you don't have one? Check with Amazon. I thought anyone selling in the US has to provide the manufacturer warranty.
Of course they might not cover cracks anyway since it would be hard to prove it wasnt dropped.

I dropped my Note couple of times and i've got at least 20 scratches and guess what?
I don't give a f**k
I buyed a damn phone, he didn't buy me for me to be his slave
Im also proud of the little dents and scratches as long as I caused them and I can get the phone up and working again.
But i can never defend the build quality which is less than satisfactory.
Well, Samsung uses "cheap plastic" but then again look at Apple - most expensive anodized aluminum and 1/3 of iphones 5 came scratched out of box.
What i'm trying to say... im just like you, i treat my gadgets like eggs, but we're talking about things we use all day every day - they will get damaged no matter how you try so its best to get over it. Anyway i think your case is not very common.
about this micro cracking, don't wast your time to send your phone to sammy, i try it ( because me too i don't think sutch craking are normale on a 600€ phone ) and sammy don't take that in warenty, they sad it my fault... crap plastic and crap warenty... it was clear that sammy don't wan't to eard about that lol
I got some cracks and spots on my note to but it is better to have crack in ur phone then have phone in ur crack.
My name is luxor and i am a flash-o-holic and xda is my pusherman.
I checked mine too. I got it in August 2012. Im pretty careful with it also. Got a case for it too. I found one of those cracks on the right side. To be honest..its covered with my case..and its not on my screen...Its not a big deal.

If you don't have this minor issue then great. But to flame someone who does is just pathetic. Thanks for drawing attention to yourselves, I'll now keep an eye out.
I've had my One from Rogers Canada since launch day last Friday.
I've been reading all the issues here about the build qualities of this phone. Mine has a hair gap on the top and the screen also rises slightly at the top edge. I've decided that these were ok and happily used my phone with great care.
No I do not have a case, and neither did I use a case for my previous Samsung Infuse which I used 2 years without dropping it ever.
Today when I turned my One over, the camera glass was cracked! It looks like it got hit somewhere and just gave in. Seems pretty impossible as the rest of the phone is in perfect condition without a single scratch. I keep the phone in my pocket top down, screen facing inwards as I always have in the last few years.
This is so frustrating...I'm afraid if I get an exchange I'll end up with one or more of the several build issues that people have been seeing.

You will get an exchange for a damaged phone that was caused by you (intentionally or unintentionally) ? They should kick you out of the store for asking that or hang up on you if you call to simply get it exchanged without paying for the damage.
People these days .....
Probably wasn't a high impact hit. You probably leaned on the corner of a table or something without realizing it and the pressure from the corner was focused all on that point.
The do not believe that I should be held responsible for this glass. It should point to the fact that the glass might have been fractured slightly so that slight pressure pushed it in from the beginning.
The argument is that I have used this phone for 3 days, taking exceptional care of it, and ended up with a cracked camera glass as opposed of my previous phone, which I used for 2 years and doesn't have a dent in its plastic, let alone cracked glass.
Also, why be so offensive Mr insomnia? Is the fact that the One's build quality is way lower than expected hurting your fanboy heart?
Probably be a great time to buy a case, don't you think?

even if you didn't do this, You're going to have a hell of a time proving it. You very well could have just leaned on it too hard during the day and put pressure on the glass. You need a real friendly service rep to accept the possibility there was a previous fracture

Times have changed, customers expect more because companies are providing more. If I can get better quality service why would I settle for less?
Also, phones shouldn't be designed with cases in mind. I shouldn't need to have a case for my phone to prevent camera glass shattering through normal daily use.

Also, phones shouldn't be designed with cases in mind. I shouldn't need to have a case for my phone to prevent camera glass shattering through normal daily use.

Move along. For all we know OP may have raised an important point. Just because you don't believe him doesn't mean he's at fault. If you don't have anything relevant to contribute then beat it.
OP, keep us posted. I haven't run across anything like that with my device. Do you use the phone to the point where it gets quite hot?

Thanks! Don't worry though, I'm trying to point out this problem and see if anyone else has similar experiences and we can pinpoint an issue.
I don't game on phones at all, so my device usually stays quite cool. It does warm up a bit after ~10 minutes of screen time but I doubt that could cause any issues.

That is interesting, thanks for sharing this, I'm looking out to see if anyone else is seeing this.
Just in case this starts happening more, my phone is from batch FA346W
Was raining the whole day today so didn't go to the store, will update once I do
Hm, might have been that the phone got hot enough to make the metal expand faster than the glass....
Not that I doubt you on for your mishap. But knowing Rogers and their ways - my family has been with them since they were still AT&T - you will need hell of a lot of explaining to convince the CSR to make them comply to your exchange request. And online sources won't make much of a statement in their mind. Try play the loyalty card and plead for forgiveness.
As to the picture above, it seems more like an impact hit as the glass seems to fracture in the center of the piece and the cracks don't extend to the edge.
Looks like the phone was abused. Hope you have Insurance because that is definitely not a warranty issue

Hi OP,
not meaning to be patronising but the glass is more brittle than the casing with lower impact resistance. so a load that might not necessarily damage the casing will more than likely damage the glass. the chances that the damage is simply contained to the glass region though is odd and one would expect there to be at least some signs of wear/ scratches etc even close to this region as in a typical case.
the main thing is how it happened which appears to be the mystery and the exchange will ultimately be based on this. looking at your picture it looks like an impact dead on the centre of the glass from the outside in. hard to be totally certain considering your pic.
i cant think of a viable scenario though other than something along the lines in my first paragraph considering the metal is in perfect condition.
i would just tell them what you have stated.
Hi OP,
I had exactly the same problem. My unit was only a day old with not a single blemish anywhere on the handset besides the crack on the camera. In fact I'm fairy certain it cracked whilst resting on my table which I found to be very odd. Anyway I did manage to get a replacement with very little hassle.
A note to some other users:
In an incident such as this the consumer is entitled to a refund or replacement or a repair depending how old the item is since purchase. There is even further statutory protection specifically under the sale of goods act. This is an expensive (£500) phone and as such it's quality and durability should be commensurate to the price paid. Thus if the OP can establish the crack happened without having dropped the phone or damaging the phone in some other way then he will be entitled to a replacement which seems likely as there are no other scratches or dents anywhere else on the unit.
I am open to listening to others' opinions but should stress that I am a lawyer and therefore am quite knowledgable on matters such as this.
I made a underwater test with my Xperia Z in the pool and wanted to share with you all.
I can say no problems.
Submerged it deeper than 1m.(So 1m50cm)
You can't press anything on the screen when the phone is underwater.
I made the images pressing the volume rocker(Camera Zoom FX app)
If you want to ask something more about this,don't be shy.I'll answer

I respectfully and strongly suggest you read with care and attention the manual that came with the XZ ad the threads written on this forum regarding water resistance.
You CANNOT take your mobile into a swimming pool. For the sake of sounding like a parrot I will again write water resistance is far from being water proof PLUS chemicals will affect the water resistance functionality as will temperature and water force regardless of depth. Take a look at some of my more detailed post on this subject, you could save yourself a fortune.

Yeah, but you know, the manual is also just a guide.
The guide only gives us the conditions that the phone can/needs to handle in order to meet some certain points. For example to be water/dust resistant/proof.
The manual states that you can hold the phone under water with a depth of 1m. Well I'm 99% sure that if you held the phone 2meters under water nothing spectacular would happen, after a while tho the pressure could become too much for the phone. Same goes for the 30min mark, if you hold the phone 31minutes under water doesn't mean that it will suddenly start to leak.
And yes, I know that we're talking about sea/chemical water here, but we've seen numerous videos of people filming while they are in a pool or in an ocean/sea and nothing happened to the phone. If something might happen then it's their own fault of course.
One last note: Lets say you hold the phone under water (depth 50cm or something) after a few minutes/seconds you take your phone out of the water and you notice that your phone has water damage. So you send the device to be repaired, who do you think has going to pay for the costs of the reparation? It will be you... even though you didn't violate the the rules that were stated in the manual.
@Ryland Johnson
You are right.
I readed it all.It says no swimming pool,no sea water.No submerging,nothing.
I understand what you wanted to say with water resistance.
But I was curious to find out can it go underwater in a swimming pool cause I saw some videos on youtube.

I can see where you are coming from and to an extent agree. Point is in your ultimate paragraph. You write the real world consequences of water ingress in the XZ. It will be the client who pays and why? Because so many of the claims will be due to genuine abuse.
With regard to the chemicals from a swimming pool and salt from the sea, of course the damage done will not be immediately obvious but over time it will be as the seals will become less and less efficient and start to perish. The XZ has an advantage over most other top end similar mobiles in that it can be exposed to a degree of water be that rain or dampness, a degree of dust also BUT the fact is the XZ is still not a commercial mobile and still needs to be treated and respected as a technical device that is still very vulnerable in many areas.
To ME to take the XZ into a shower or swimming pool is absurd? Why would a customer do that in the first place? Who uses a mobile phone IN the shower? Now one takes a shower and leaves the mobile inside the bath room and with wet hands replies that's its real strength. Its not an underwater camera either as we are seeing on this very site.
I guess we will all as customers have to pay our cash and accept the consequences of our actions. It IS a shame some abuse such a wonderful device. I think we are going to read more and more threads regarding owners having water damage with this phone. I still maintain it has been poorly marketed and Sony have given the wrong impression of the XZ's true capabilities.
Kind regards.

I understand, there are many clips now of owners doing the most absurd things possible to the XZ like dropping a lump hammer onto it or dropping it on the floor numerous times to see how many times it can be dropped before it breaks!
As long as we understand some of these clips are taken by rather 'challenged' people then we would be best to avoid copying them .
If you look after your devices they should look after you.
Best advise is to treat the XZ as one would any other device of this nature and not expose it to deliberate situations where it may become damaged. If the XZ comes accidently into contact with some water it should be fine.

This is a debatable section. Why would someone take a phone into the shower? Well lets just leave that in the middle, some people just like to take their phones with them when they take a shower. Of course the phone doesn't get wet in those situations. I know many people that take their phones with them because they can listen to music that way, I never got why people did that, but it's just my point of view. Just like I don't see why people use their phone while they are taking a dump, it's all based on the person.
When you take the phone (non water proof) with you in the shower (Not wetting it of course) it's also bad because of the condense.
Anyways... let me get back to the story....
Why this is a debatable subject: What is the difference when rain falls on the phone and when you take a shower? Not everyone showers with hot water, and I believe that's the only reason why showering with the phone isn't advised. Taking a shower with the phone is the same as rain falling on the phone, they are just drops. 1 from a tap as the source and the other has clouds as the source.
You must have a weak shower. Mine would knock the phone from my hand (if I was silly enough to bring it in there), so a bit more powerful than a few droplets of rain

What makes the difference in water resistance under all circumstances be it a submarine to the XZ is pressure and movement. I have no doubt if the XZ was used in a hurricane with xxx force winds and rain water may enter the phone? The other problem is the soap we use in the shower. This can also degrade the seals on the XZ?
I still maintain the point of all this is ones intent. Accidental water contact to a degree should be fine but to deliberately 'test' the phone is perhaps not a good idea? Its human nature after seeing some of the Sony clips to try it out but......Not for me, I keep my XZ well away from water and think of the water resistance properties as some small form of accident insurance nothing more.

Thinking about this how is it possible? Do you mean actually using the phone while in the shower under running water? The noise from the water would make it difficult to hear or be heard PLUS as soon as the speaker and microphone on the XZ get wet the performance of both are drastically reduced until they are dried out? Did you actually wash your phone, I mean like soap and hot water?

I've taken my XZ in Thermal Waters in Saturnia:
http://www.termedisaturnia.it/en/
I've spent 8 hours there, i've always kept the phone with me, in everty attraction of the Termal resort, iven in depth till 5 meters,
in the hot waterfalls, in the swimming pool all the time, also in the descending course and in the pool with the mud.
I made several calls around, also playd with Internet to check email, and made several shots (i can post some).
In the evening in rinsed the phone with warm water to clean from mud and from SULFUR (there was sulfuric water).

Really impressed on how the Z2 did in this test, considering how the Z1 one was rendered inoperable after AA did their drop test on it. Only slight structural damage and the dead pixels with no shattering of the glass.
Even I feel the test really made me very happy.I just loved that even after 3 deadly drops the phone was as good as New.

Do keep in mind that Android Authority's Josh Vergara dropped the phone on what looks to be a very flat surface. From the cracks on your phone, it looks like it might have landed on a pebble or something that could have applied more pressure on that one spot on the screen. It's just bad luck
It is rather odd how norms in society change. Drop tests? We all seriously do realise that this concept is absurd! Who purchases any such mobile device then starts to drop test it? I have just paid 1100€ for new glasses and am not going to drop test them! Guess what, if I did they would break or scratch...SURPRISE.
Any one dropped tested their new born baby yet? Equally absurd and distasteful. WHY would one even expect such a device to survive such drops? Is it designed to be dropped? There are industrial accredited mobile phones and lap tops that are built to survive a certain amount of abuse BUT they are not general consumer units.
I truly find such tests absurd and very immature. Please tell me we are not going to accept such 'tests' as the norm? Any one going to drop test their ultra book costing 1200€? No? Their new car. Drive it into a wall to test the airbags and crumple zones? No? I simply despair at some of the things we now accept in society. Drop tests on technological devices? So absurd it beggars belief.
If you drop your mobile it will be damaged. Is that not as obvious as driving our new car into a wall? What manufacturer says one can drop their device and have it survive? Where is this even written in the specs?

Looking at the crack pattern, it would seem that it landed on a stone, or something that focused the pressure on a very small surface area, the cracks seem to originate from a very specific point, if it was just the shock that cracked it you wouldn't be able to see a specific origin point from the cracks, whereas this one you can.

No I'm not surprised.. I have friends who broke their S4 screen from having it on the back pocket.. But this is the first time this has happened to me as I have dropped my S1, S3, XZ many times without breaking the screen. In-fact I never had a casin for XZ. I'm not saying that we should worry about the durability of the Z2. This could be just bad luck as it went facedown probably hit something like a small piece of stone like you said..
So my point is don't look at those drop test videos and think your phone will survive in real life conditions when it drops. Make sure to have a full leather casin or something.

It is rather odd how norms in society change. Drop tests? We all seriously do realise that this concept is absurd! Who purchases any such mobile device then starts to drop test it? I have just paid 1100€ for new glasses and am not going to drop test them! Guess what, if I did they would break or scratch...SURPRISE.
Any one dropped tested their new born baby yet? Equally absurd and distasteful. WHY would one even expect such a device to survive such drops? Is it designed to be dropped? There are industrial accredited mobile phones and lap tops that are built to survive a certain amount of abuse BUT they are not general consumer units.
I truly find such tests absurd and very immature. Please tell me we are not going to accept such 'tests' as the norm? Any one going to drop test their ultra book costing 1200€? No? Their new car. Drive it into a wall to test the airbags and crumple zones? No? I simply despair at some of the things we now accept in society. Drop tests on technological devices? So absurd it beggars belief.
If you drop your mobile it will be damaged. Is that not as obvious as driving our new car into a wall? What manufacturer says one can drop their device and have it survive? Where is this even written in the specs?

I am GENUINELY sorry you dropped your mobile, that truly is a pain in the neck.
What surprises me is you are surprised it broke? You do realise that its a mobile phone made from Glass and other sensitive interior materials?
One cannot drop such a device and these absurd unofficial 'drop tests' should be taken for what they are, silly and stupid. Problem is they will build into the public this false idea that such devices are designed to be dropped when no manufacturer would dare write such a thing.
Again I am sincerely sorry you dropped your phone. I hope it was insured?

Butthurt much? First of all it's their choice to drop test the phone. How does it bother you that they drop and break "expensive" phones. If they are so expensive for you don't buy them. Second of all they are probably sponsored by the companies.
With iPhone 1 surviving drops was not required because it was in the early years. Now phones develop and dropping is a real issue, because smartphones does not have the same strength as old phones. Phones now a days should survive normal drops, and this test shows that it does (or does not). It helps people with clumsy hands to choose which smartphone they should go for.
Go troll somewhere else.

Indeed. Its a shame we need to cover such a handsome mobile but it can pay dividends if we drop them. Any idea of the cost to repair?
Kind regards,

It's a durability test , it's done for hundreds of thousands of items in many different ways depending on the item in question! Why wouldn't you want the same done for your device? The only thing wrong with this imo is that someone had to go and pay for a phone to do this rather than it coming directly from Sony themselves.
Your car argument is completely invalid, manufacturers are REQUIRED to have the car crash tested before its even allowed to go on sale just as scratch resistant/proof glasses, glass etc etc....
