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...

He said he doesn't recall sitting on it. Just was in his back pocket at the time.
Also just in case his build date.
I placed my order on 23 July. The date on the box says 2014.07.18

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...

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???
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...

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

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 ?

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).
My One had accident today while I was getting up from my car.

With many (if not most) cases, when the phone is face down the screen is raised from the surface. So if your phone falls face first, the screen won't make contact with the surface. Obviously if the surface is very jagged then the display may hit it. The case (particularly dual layer varieties) also adds a little bit of shock protection that will help decrease the chance of shattering the screen from blunt force to other parts of the phone.
I'm about to go into this thread and tell you to try flashing stock rom....
This thread made me remember an article I read awhile ago...

today I sent it to repairs, they couldn't give me any estimate of price, but when I hear from them I will report back with that info and when they repair it if possible I will also report final cost.
Only thing they estimated was that it is going to take about 2 weeks!
My One is she because well it's my One but not only and it also seems to break up easily..
It had this kind of case, but did not help when dropped face down since there was some small rocks.
I've been using my Xperia Z with good care, used it to do alot of high-end gaming and the phone really gets hot, but one thing I love to do is listen to music, I don't use a Bluetooth connection or anything and it has apparently put straint on the phone panels.
I noticed this earlier today while plugging in my headphones, like normal.

Seriously buddy OMG...i had that top left panel unglue issue on my XZ...but this is seriously bad....
Go to Sony Service. I've read on another forum (cant' remember where) that a guy got his phone replaced for something like that.
When I read this I had to see how bad mine was since my backglass is unglued. Pulled off the headphone flap en lifted that other part up and tadaa, same issue. When I did it it made some noise like the glue fell apart.
I think you better don't try it, since it seemed to be good until I tried, lol. Gotta get my backglass repaired anyway so I'll tell them about this problem also. I hope they swap it for a new one haha.

I haven't used any chemical substances at all. I've used my phone like you should.
This is just weak glue, due to phone getting very warm, and while I listen to music the flap rests on the panel, which makes it open.
Why would anyone use chlorine on their phone

If it doesn't come up by itself don't try force it people. Sticking you fingernail under it will make it come off really easy. Doesn't happen just by headphone port. Happens by micro SD port to where the charging dock connectors are.

Lolz, I didnt knew XDA Forums only packs trolls answers this days (this tread is full of them). I am doing a honestly serious question, I would like to use my phone in the pool or bathtub, currently I have the S4 and considering this a strong point to get the S5. I dont know enough of electronic devices to be sure if a phone can be risky for you under such circunstances (I heard stories about phones zaping people while not even on the water) so i just wanted to have some advice. Thanks anyways I suppose?

Oke serious, its an insulated 5V battery which cannot zapp you under normal circumstances, even if water is involved cause its build for that. And don`t believe these fake here say story`s. How many times has Elvis been seen since he died, do you believe that too?
Even though the phone is meant to be water resistant, I still wouldn't take it for granted. Low temperature water is almost certainly fine but may cause condensation inside the phone if the water is cold enough to cool the phone considerably, and likewise steam is a far different animal than in liquid form but should be safe as well.
Just make sure you close the flap securely as well as the battery cover properly.
