Hello,
Yesterday my U11 is falen from 50 cm on the wood flor. Its falen straight on the left top corner and cracked the front glass!
The U 11 was in the standart HTC Cover.
I think the round Display frame is very very very sensible
Havend had tis in 6 years of HTC Phones HTC One, One X, One M7 and One M9.
All the phones are alive today with no big damage!
But U11 breaks new record 8 Days old and Screan cracked!
So be careful with your U111!!!!!
If you got it from HTC, they have the ohh ohh warranty.

No they don't. Not for the U11.
And this is why I don't like the current trend with the bezel-less and curved screens. Easier to break.
Oeps.... That's sorry to hear...
I think a good case will help.
A customer of mine has a S8. I said be careful with dropping.
He said why careful??.. And dropped his S8 from waist height on the ground. Damn...
pictures or it didnt happen
not that im saying youre not tellin the truth but lets see the damage. on the same subject i havent seen a drop test yet on youtube.

I trust him. The whole phone is glass.
What is so unusual about braking a phone? Its not titanium!

Ouch! I guess that's kinda the standard price since it's repaired by the manufacturer itself.
Btw, what cause your phone to crack near the earpiece anyway?
Nothing surprise. My friend cracked his Huawei p9 screen dropping from toilet height, with a slim silicon case attached. Smart phones are very fragile especially when the shell is all glasses.
This is why I don't use any new phone as a daily runner, until I get a thick protection case, and a thick screen protector.

ouch man that sucks when u get it fixed get a good thick case like the incipio dual pro and a glass screen protector. I always roll like that.
Hit the corner, every curved glass would die. Sorry for you though.
It is not a tank like the 10, but we shouldnt drop our phones.

It says it's a 'replacement lens'. As far as I am aware there is only one cover/lens, be it glass or plastic.

read it again, thats a replacement lense COVER.
meaning, it covers the lens. Have a look at your HD2 and tell me thats what you camera looks like, its not even transparent.
ive had a look, and it looks like the only ways of doing it are the following.
1, send to HTC to get repaired
2, do a bodge job and make one yourself
3, have a look on ebay for exdisplay/dummy phones and buy it, user the lense from that.

It looks exactly like mine. There is the camera housing, the elevated metal cover that protects the lens and the glass that sits on top of it. That cover on eBay is a replacement for a smashed/cracked lens cover, which is exactly the same as mine. Unless I am being unbelievably stupid, I am pretty sure he just means that. A picture would be nice.
I broke mine, too a while ago and sent it to HTC Germany's service partner for repair. Cost me over 60 Euros plus my initial shipping costs to get it done. Just to give you a hint of what an official repair might cost you.
I guess you could contact HTC in a different country than yours and ask them if you can send your HD2 for repair there. Should be no problem scince you have to pay for the repair anyway and won't cost them anything.
thanks guys for your replies, I will put a picture of my HD2 at the end of the day so that everyone knows what is exactly the problem
Somebody else?
My wife droped mine HD2 too... so... I was wondering if I can just replace the glass with this plastic replacement....
I will buy it on my pay day thursday and let you know!
Any news on this? I broke my camera glass, too
Hey guys,
Ive ordered mine, should be here in the next week.
Will report back
I broke mine too
No idea how I did it. It was in my pocket on a flight from Kansas City to New Orleans. First time I got it out to take a picture I noticed it.
Really would like to know what my options are.
has anyone found a fix? I have same prob. If there is a replacement, how do you fix it?
Hey Guys,
Mine arrived today, did not look like much (came in an envelope) but i fit it in quite easily and it looks great!
All you need to do to install is click it in place.

i bought one of the ebay replacement lens covers and a dummy phone as insurance. both of these covers appeared to be made of plastic whereas i'm pretty sure the original is optical glass. since this cover is going to have a direct impact on the quality of your pics, you will want it to be as clear as possible and since it will inevitably be wiped off countless times, scratch-proof. for these reasons, i came to the conclusion that it might be better to source a glass cover from another phone (not neccessarily an hd2) or get a legit htc replacement.

Gsm4world was who i purchased it off.
Yup, just a little over 48 hours after purchasing my G4, it slid out of my pocket when getting out my car and fell flat on its face ?. This is the first screen I've ever cracked. Usually people bring me their cracked screens to me so I can repair or replace them. My question to you guys and gals is should I go through AT&T's insurance or through LG's warranty department to get it replaced. I've looked into doing it myself as well. Just trying to weigh my options.
?????
Ouch!
Yeah, it made me sick to my stomach when I saw it.
I'd say whichever is cheapest, I wouldn't try fixing it myself risking to break it or something.
Damn, really feeling bad for you [emoji22]
Bad thing is I have a spigen case and tempered glass protector order and should be here tomorrow.
Damn that sucks man sorry.

Same thing happened to another guy a few days ago. Same story even. Fell out of his pocket getting out of his car in a parking lot and cracked the top left corner. I think he said LG wanted like $150 to fix it.
slid out of the pocket getting out of the car. Raise leg up, empty pants pocket. The height isn't even that high less than two feet.
Man that blows. You guys weaing skinny jeans or something. Mine fits all the way inside my front right jeans pocket. No way its falling out.

i guess we are lucky the screen cracked on the top corner...the LG service center guy told me..that if the crack hit the digitizer...they will need to replace the digitizer which will cost more..
for now, the replacement on the body frame and the glass will cost around sgd190..
Another great example of why not to Rock any phone 'naked'. Thanks for sharing and hopeful you get a resolution as soon as possible.

Hi there,
After using the OnePlus X just a week it fall out of my pocket on the ground. I was not wearing my original silicone case that comes with the phone so that made it very slippery. My original screenprotector is still on the phone but the display is shattered completely and the digitizer is broken as well (only a few ink lines in the display).
I want to warn you about this. I highly advise you to use a tempered glass protector or at least a case to make it less slippery as I hope this does not happen to you (nobody wants to see a grown man with tears in his eyes).
I made a ticket at OnePlus Support, I even chatted with them. Nobody knows what the repair costs as they said in the chat I will have assistance from the RRR (refund, repair and replacement) department. Hereby my advise, be gentle with this delicate but awesome phone. :good:
Update: after quite a lot of chatting and calling I got my answer: 114 euros to fix the screen.
Damn that sucks big time
Mine fell off a table 60cm high onto a wooden floor and did not even show a dent. I agree about the slipperiness of the handset, my phone slipped off a level table surface which I can't still figure!
I feel for you!

I left the backside protector and only cut out the camera and flash. So it is not that slippery.
But I know the pain with sweaty hands. The phone is like soap.....
I feel sorry for you brother but thanks a lot for sharing your thought on protective case!!!
No problem. OnePlus still has no estimate on repair costs and duration. I have chatted with one of the servicedesk persons, and he said I would hear something yesterday and I didn't. Any advice? Maybe from former OnePlus (1 or 2) users? Thanks in advance

You'll just have to wait for their response, OPO nor OP2 has AMOLED display .... So no one can give you the estimate currently ....
I know about Moto X though... The Moto X Second Gen has 5" AMOLED display , and or replacement they would charge around 20K(INR) ... But it also had those 3 infra-red sensors on it ... and it defers from company to company .
Do let us know after you get a reply from them .
Also for other members, I think the stock silicon case doesn't protect the front glass ... the glass is slightly curved and is protruding outwards most probably , I can't verify it clearly ....

Thanks for your detailed answer! Wow that's 284 euro's for a repair. I think it will cost at least 15 euros less (the OPX costs 269 over here).
I have called them and I got an e-mail right away, which says that they wil know within 48 hours what a repair will cost. Will keep you posted if I have further details!

Very sorry to hear that, friend.
I've been round OP since the beginning, and their customer care is/was non existent.
I hope I'm wrong, Pete Lau (or Carl), acknowledged that their customer support was poor, and promised to improve it,
Carl and Pete have made a lot of promises that weren't kept
Perhaps an older member who has had recent experience with them could give some input?
Very sorry to hear about your accident.
What's the height it fell off from??
And can you tell about the back glass how durable it is.. Easily getting scratches? I mean is a case required or tempered glass in front is enough..
Since you already experienced it ( a pic would be great)
Case comes in Saturday....slipped off my lap getting out of car and this happened.
OMG. T.T I'm sooooo sorry. Yeah, this is the exact reason I bought cases before getting my phone. I can relate to having to wait to get a case, as that's what happened with both my S3 and S6. Was paranoid AF that I'd drop the phone and damage it.
Got lucky that nothing happened before I got the cases, though in the case of my S6, the guy I bought it from included one, which he didn't mention that he'd include one, so that was a nice surprise when I got the phone. But, since then, I definitely made sure I was prepared so I'd have something Day 1 of getting my S8+.
Is there anything you can do about it or... do you just have to live with a broken back?
Thanks. I'm going to switch out the back glass this weekend hopefully. Can't do anything about the scuffs on the plastic, but better than nothing
True, true. Until then, just be careful that you don't cut yourself on the glass. Just curious, how high was the drop? Crazy that it cracked so easily. Then again... it IS glass...
Literally 2.5 feet. Im kinda dissapointed:/
I already have two cases and a screen protector, i pick up my phone tomorrow.
Sorry this happened to you
it was my own carelessness not paying attention and lack of getting a case in time... altho i honestly didnt think id recieve the phone on the 19th either.
That's why I was using my s5 outdoor till I get my spigen case :crying: I'm sorry for your loss :crying:

I've done this multiple times. It's not hard.
I had a few slips yesterday so have ordered a case that was delivered this morning!
I was going to leave it a few weeks but came to close to amazing it. I even left it I'm the house where I went out to do some . Even errands.
Running
Rule nunber 1. NEVER EVER EVER put a phone on your lap when in a car.
Im sorry that happen to your phone that sucks.
My wife drop her note 7 (second recall device) 10mins after walking out the store. Only crack the bad. I did a claim for it paid the $175 got a new one the next day and then 3 days later oh note 7 recalled again.
But me myself i like to have cases and screen protectors day one
Just like the title says. If I tap the back of my S8+ with my fingernail, it sure as hell doesn't feel like glass.
Anyone else agree?
Noup it's glass, your tap test is useless, since it has more to do with what's behind the glass and how it is placed in the case.
Here's a scratch test, that will tell you what it is actually made of (different materials scratch at different pick hardness. In simple words. You can't scratch glass with paper):
https://youtu.be/w_dTXKhFWtE
When I tap near the top or bottom edge, the sound is somehow firmer, than when I tap in the middle? There it's just plasticky, or hollow inside. Is it normal, or is it just mine? It's making me crazy, and for the life of me I can't find a video or anyone talking about it.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for that. I bought it five days ago, and never paid much attention, until I heard that my broken Xiaomi Mi5 sounds firmer on the back glass than a 700€ Samsung. I'm taking it tomorrow back, and asking to show me another example of it. If it's the same, I'll be really disappointed at Samsung. Not because it really matters, but because at that price point things like that just shouldn't exist. Man I am annoyed....

It's a floating piece of glass attached only at the edges. What did you expect?

I get your meaning and I appreciate it. And I would wholeheartedly agree with you, if not for the fact that a plastic J5 that I use for work sounds firmer and better/fuller than S8 on the back, and it's a floating piece of real plastic attached only at the edges as well. In fact, I'd rather expect J5 to survive submerging than this one. The screen feels like glass, the back does not. The problem is that I think it wasn't that pronounced when I first unboxed it. I can't be sure however.
On the other hand, I definitely want a 700€ feel on a 700€ phone. This is not being spoiled, it's that If I'm paying for the S8 for the next 6 months, i want an S8 and not Xiaomi. In other words, i want to feel happy that I spent 700€, I don't want to feel tricked.
So, here it is what i mean. The sound can't be heard very well because of the lousy J5 camera, but the wobbling is clearly seen.
Is it everyone's that wobbles this much in the middle or just mine?

I have the s8+ and i do not have this wobble you mention. tapping shows it seems hollow around the centre but i expect this as the back glass is secured around the edges where it is solid. It's the same with my s6.

So, here it is what i mean. The sound can't be heard very well because of the lousy J5 camera, but the wobbling is clearly seen.
Is it everyone's that wobbles this much in the middle or just mine?

Oh wow. I retract what I said. Mine is very sturdy compared to that. No wobble at all. Just seems "less solid than a solid ingot of glass". I can kinda hear a bit of hollow space behind the glass, but that's stretching it.
Yours seems defective. Very much so.

yeah yours is definitely not right. there is no give in mine at all. it sounds hollow in the middle but that is all. return yours
Yeah, today's exactly 7th day since I got it. I'll have to do it tomorrow because of work, and it's gonna be a darn ordeal convincing Telenor that it's a defect.
The procedure is they'll send it to a certified repair service, I'll get some junk replacement and probably gonna get it back 2 weeks from now at best. I'll have to see if I'm able to pull some strings so that I at least get a new device afterwards and not the "here we repaired it" same one, as my company is one of their important (lol) clients.
"Certified service partners" are very protected here, as opposed to consumers.
I'd like to have with me an example of a proper one, though. Or a video...
A question. Our company's technician says that he saw all the tests about s8 as he wants to buy it, and that the back glass has to be bendable, so that in case of breaking it doesn't shatter to pieces, but remains composite. It sounds plausible enough, but why the screen is not as bendable as the back, it's the same G5 glass?
Could it be that you guys check on different lighting conditions if it bends a bit? In the video I made I barely pressed the back at all.
I don't want to go through the whole return procedure just to get it back with the same explanation. It would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance
I had the silver one and it was for sure glass but now I have the all black and im pretty sure it's plastic
Back cover is plastic
I bought a brand new Galaxy S8 plus from Sprint. Just opened it to replace charging port. The back cover on mine is plastic

Why would you open it to replace the charging port if you bought it brand new you just voided the warranty Doesnt make much sense As all the S8s brand new are most def glass

I bought the phone new from Sprint more than a year ago when it first came out. Recently I had to open it to replace the charging port. When I removed the back cover it was plastic.

There is no way I assure you if its a legit device it was glass That is part of the advertisement specs and all.Only option was sprint was selling clones or it was a refurb with a aftermarket back witch is highly unlikely as even Company's like Assurion use glass backs
Now the glass will have some flex to it not much I wouldn't suggest bending or such.
If its not real glass its either been replaced or said above
