What's the story?
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!

a pictures worth a thousand words .
phone fell off seat in movie theater, like 2 feet from ground..

was it naked?

I cried a little inside when I saw this picture..

without a case ? ya

sorry.
I hate how badly HTC tempers some of their phones [screen that is]
I remember when I got my first TP2, broke screen on first drop... I had a replacement,... That I still have... I treat it like trash! And lemme tell you this thing is sturdy. My Evo... Has been abused, dropped, fell straight on the curb of the sidewalk (right onto the raised part and onto the floor). Only visible thing is a tiny dot of glass that chipped off the lower bottom right.. This one is sturdy as hell too...

this was my first time dropping the phone, I only had it for about two weeks.
The screen is like scratch proof but not shatter proof, it should be the other way around at least (hopefully both). I tried using my keys to scratch out a hole in the glass so i could take it out and see if i could get a replacement glass but the keys wouldnt even scratch as hard as i tried

i died a little inside when i saw that picture. if that happened to my phone...i would probably cry

Dang that really sux. I was so scared when I dropped my Evo at work from a height of 30 ft and lucky for me I just had sum dirt in the kick stand but that was the day I added insurance on my bill. I'm sure if u have insurance they will give u a new screen as there was a time with my instinct I broke the screen 3 times in a month and Sprint fixed it no questions asked

@ the PIC why put a 500$ phone on a sent and EVEN take the chance of it falling ?

That sucks man . Well if you don't have insurance, they sell replacement touch screen digitizers on eBay. Not sure how easy it is to replace.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-Evo-...862017?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4152abc101
I have no affiliation to that seller, just looked up the cheapest one that wasn't out of the country.
Looks like some guys just put up a repair video too and it doesn't look too difficult, but I'd be scared to do it myself lol.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-evo-4g-glass-touch-screen-digtizer-lcd-repair-guide.html

Most sprint repair stores are stocking glass/screen replacements. Just go down there and get it fixed, generally they can do them in 15-20 minutes

actually im within the first 30 days, so im taking the phone back to a store and swapping it for a brand new one. which seems like a great deal to me.

if you are rooted you will probably have to unroot... but you already knew that

I just flashed back to the stock rom i found in the evo wiki, that should be good correct ?

Good luck man. 30 days or not they're probably not gonna just swap an obviously damaged phone out for a new one. Not saying it wont happen, just.. good luck!

You should be good with that. In my experience I've had no trouble taking rooted devices in to them. I always make sure at the very least it appears stock when they power it up.

I called them and they are the ones that suggested i just return it and get a new one since it's within thirty days. I called the store too, not sprint (sometimes they like to contradict each other).

R.I.P My galaxy s2?

I accidently droped my sgs2 last night... In the begining it was just a corner with red small spots and I saw som old meny in the dark corner. I tested some hidden menys and I changed nothing (I think) But after had my phone off for the night it looks like this??? Blue???

Just take it to the service centre&they will replace the screen for u
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

i agree, time to service it! hehe

Even wearing that case it has suffered that bad? It seems that most cases protect only against scratches, unless you have one of those extremely bulky. It makes me wonder why to use a case at all if in the end the damage will be the same. Or would it be even worse without the case? Well, who knows...

Well, there is a tutorial on these forums explaining how you can do it yourself. You'll need courage though :| take a look, it does even include a video and eBay link for buying the necessary parts.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Wow, mine is exactly the same as yours, the crack is even in the same place...

wonder what the costs of service will be...

I just viseted the store for mine, they said 140-150 euros...

Spontaneous screen crack sg3

Hiya guys I've had the most interesting thing happen to my .sg3 yesterday. The only way to explain it is as a spontaneous screen crack! My phone just cracked by itself!! Yes without a lie! It's the most microsceptic crack I've seen and after a few minutes looking at it i decided to measure the location and it's exactly in the middle of the panel! No one believes me and people think I'm stupid. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've done some research and have found that other Samsung phones have done this but there isn't allot of info about it.

Is this really a thing? I mean that this can happen, I have never heard about anything like this before.
Show a pic of the crack if possible?

Well from what info I've gathered on the web it is very rare!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

probably because of the curved glass. Curved things tend to bend when they reach certain point. the gorilla glass 2 being thinner than its predecessor should crack easier especially when bent. Send it back to Samsung, the crack seems natural and is a Samsung fault rather
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe you. My friends AMOLED screen crached but the glass was perfectly fine on his Droid RAZR. It was extremely weird and did not make any bit of sense.

Well see the thing is i didn't even move from my desk at work when this happened! It's so so strange. What would be the best way of contacting Samsung about this , because atm I've talked to official Samsung repair people and they all say I'm crazy and 3 just told me I'm a liar and that i broke it on purpose. (As if!)

You should go to the 3 store and show them the device because there is no way anyone can make a perfect straight crack like this on purpose/accidentally.

That is what i said! I showed them the phone and they just made a mug of me!

Yeah I knew the case won't offer enough protection around the edges the second I saw it, but I liked it anyway.. That's Meifeng Hard Skin btw. I should've gotten a bumper.

And that my friends is why phone cases and screen protectors are out there for us to use!

No the screen for this phone is expensive. Around $130 from China, plus tax and customs and we are in the neigbourhood of 130€ again, the same if I buy it directly from the LG importer for my country, plus I won't have to wait a month to arrive..

Damn, I have the same case.. Might change to the TPU!

Good thing it's not too expensive, eh?

I'm very sorry about your phone. I've had the same case and for some reason decided to change it to the cheap 2.90$ tpu case from eBay. Few days later my phone fell out of my hand about waist height on that same spot and not even a scratch. I'm with that tpu ever since

Same thing with mine...except my glass is fine. Chrome bezel has a nick in it from a marble floor. Luckily my diztronic case that I was waiting for at the time covers it completely.

A nokia wouldn't have broken in this way. A samsung wouldn't have broken in this way. An HTC wouldn't have broken in this way. A little sympathy wouldn't be amiss.

Just yesterday I dropped my phone 3 feet onto a concrete floor. It bounced at least 2 times. I have on a poetic bumper with no screen protector and not a scratch or mark on the phone at all.

an iPhone would have done this (a more sensible comparison in build)

Holy ****.. way to reinforce the stereotypical fake Chinese exploding phones LOL

Holy Cow... too sad. I hope OP folks investigate it and come to some conclusion. Btw, we have seen news of IPhones n samsungs explode as well.

Need an invite for this, to see your leg burning ?

Another reason to use a case as it could have been a lot worse.

He had a case...

He's saying if he didn't have a case, it could have been much worse.
The case helped prevent it from being directly against his leg.

Yes, another misunderstanding of my part. Need to sleep more today...

Holy crap that's not good. Clearly a defective battery, the melting in the back cover is literally shaped around the battery.

says put in back pocket - may have sat on it and punctured the battery. but then said burned his leg? funny...

maybe Samsung/Apple will fight over this and send him a new phone and make a big thing... lol

I noticed a few things
1st He says the phone was in his rear pocket and then burn marks are of his legs.
2nd The OPO also seems like it had an impact from outside heat instead of bursting from inside.
He maybe honest but I've had a phone explode on me and the damage wasn't this severe.

This is likely simply an issue with the individual device/battery, I doubt OnePlus have cheaped out on the battery and every smartphone uses a Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer battery. Once these batteries have heated up or malfunctioned badly, due to the high concentration of power in a small area there is nothing stopping the reaction continuing. Similar things happen regularly with Samsung phones and even iPhones.
OnePlus are going to reimburse him for the phone, his clothes, and any medical bills.
Tl;Dr - seems like a catastrophic failure that is just in the nature if Lithium Ion/polymer batteries

Unless your ass has a solid 90 degree angle and its edge rests dead center on the OnePlus One, and you weigh more than 300 or so pounds, you're you not going to "puncture" the battery...

What are you talking about, the burn marks are exactly where they should be on the side of his butt, right where the the side of the back pocket burned and the side that bursted on the OnePlus One.
The the plastic melted exactly as it should if the heat was applied from the interior of the phone too...
