HTC Droid Eris :: Dropped Phone - Entire Screen Shattered

Feb 20, 2010

So I got my Eris on Wednesday and dropped it today and did I mess it up. It feel from about waste level, I'm 5'8 so it wasn't that high. I even slid my foot out to stop a direct hit to the ground which was successful. However this didn't help at all. The entire screen shattered but the phone still works. I know I should have a case for it but in the 9 years of having a cell phone this is the first one I dropped one. I was planning on getting one but haven't had the time to go out and get one yet.

Anyways I though the Eris had the gorilla glass that was basically unbreakable. It doesn't seem like a fall from waste hight, slowed down by my foot, onto the linoleum floor at the food store would destroy the screen. The cracks start at the corner and spider web through the whole screen. Everything I've read about people dropping the phone said it never broke. I am wondering if the screen might actually be defective, probably not but I'm grasping at straws to avoid the insurance deductible. Good thing I have insurance on the phone.

HTC Droid Eris :: Dropped Phone - Entire Screen Shattered


Motorola Droid X :: Dropped Phone - Screen Is Shattered?

Oct 21, 2010

The screen is shattered which sucks. It's still usable but looks horrible. I have insurance on it so I have some questions as to the whole procedure i'll have to go through when I bring it to verizon.

1: Does my insurance cover if I drop it?
2: Do I have to get a new phone or can they send it in and get the screen fixed?
3: Do I have to pay for a new phone? If so will they then send me a new one and let me keep my old one so I still have a phone while I wait?

It sucks because I've never dropped it, and it was just my luck that it falls right on the screen.

HTC Incredible :: Dropped Phone - Screen Directly Hit On Rock And Shattered

Nov 10, 2010

Now I have dropped my Inc many times (I have the rubber case) and never had a problem. Well on Sunday I was coming home from the airport and dropped it perfectly about 3 feet directly on the screen on a rock and kablooey, it was shattered. I mean ruined to the point where you couldn't touch it without getting cut. However it actually still worked perfectly, but for obvious safety reasons I needed to get a new one. To make a long story short I got Verizon to send me a new one, and I couldn't be happier. Now they explained that I didn't receive a new one or a refurbished one, rather one that was returned immediately by someone.

It looks great, works perfectly and is running faster and smoother than my old one did. This is even after I did a backup from AppBrain to re-download over 130 apps. My only sadness is that I lost all my levels on Angry birds, and that I had to reset up my phone with all the little personalizations that I had before. Has anyone else had a similar experience with their replacement. My old phone (one that had received the update) It was constantly bogged down, and got better once I did a factory reset, however it still wasn't as smooth as my new one.

HTC Incredible :: Dropped Phone _ Screen Shattered _ No Insurance / Resolve This?

Jul 1, 2010

So how few options do I have? I dropped my incredible on the garage floor and it hit in the corner and shattered. It still works fine, but I had to put some tape below the screed near the optical sensor to cover the sharpness from the cracks where the screen protector doesn't cover.

Anyhow, I did not get insurance as I'd never used it in the 15 years I owned a cell phone... murphy's law of course. I went to a Verizon store and they gave me a phone number of a 3rd party repair guy. He's closed for the day so I started to Google stuff and it seems that I am up the creek. The screens are the reason they are not making these as fast as they'd like so I assume there are none available. I cannot find any info on repairing them... not looking good is it?

Samsung Captivate :: Dropped Phone And Glass Shattered? (Need Protective Case)

Nov 7, 2010

I dropped mine about 1-2 feet onto the sidewalk and the glass shattered. I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to pay the $162 to get it fixed or sell it for parts on ebay. Thing is, Samsung claims they've only had to replace the glass on 3 captivates so far, and I cannot find a single screen-damaged Captivate on ebay past or present. Did I just have really really bad luck with my drop? I find it hard to believe that so few are getting broken. If I do fix and keep my Captivate I want to get a really protective case for it.

HTC Droid Eris :: Screen Cracked - Unable To Use Menu Or Home Buttons And Entire Left Part Of Screen And More - Keyboard Lag

Feb 23, 2010

So through a weird assortment of events i managed to crack the screen on my Eris. But this is the trippy part, I didnt break the glass but the touch sensors underneath. So now i am unable to use the menu or home buttons and the entire left part of my screen and more. I am unable to unlock my device in anyway that i know(menu button, the slider). Is there any other way to unlock it? I now have 11 unread texts and 4 voicemails that I desperately want to view. Oh and I know some of you won't be happy about what I'm about to say but.... I took the leap to the moto droid. I had the chance to get it on a 1 year because I didnt get insurance and I went for it. I will really miss my Eris but the keyboard lag was just killing me.

HTC Incredible :: Phone Screen Shattered - What To Do Now?

Jul 13, 2010

My phone is 2 months old so clearly im not due for the new every 2. I am always so cautious with my phones. Had a verizon case on. Been a verizon customer since it was Cellular One. DONT HAVE INSURANCE because its such an extra added monthly expense. We have 3 phones, pay $200/month to Verizon Wireless. Unfortuantely, as i had read, the Incredible is way delicate and it dropped maybe 18 inches and boom its history. Do you guys suggest anything to get a replacement? Do you think they will work with me if i handle the situation in any specific way?

Motorola Droid X :: Dropped Phone - Crack Across Screen

Nov 10, 2010

I had a couple of low height drops that didn't result in any damage. The phone is actually really tough. But the other day I found out how tough it really is. I had it in my car between my legs and when I got out and stood up, down it went, face first on to an asphalt parking lot. It made a sound unlike it had before, and I knew right away. There is one small crack running from about 3 o'clock to about 1 o'clock running diagonally across the screen. Surprisingly, everything still works as it should and the crack hasn't spread. I do have a screen protector, and I think that is the only thing that may have kept it from being worse.

I also had the hard silicone cover on as well. A quick call to VZW to see what I could do, $90 for a claim through Assurance. Not really what I wanted to hear). I will admit that I did not check on claim deductible prices when getting insurance. I expected to hear $25 or $30 maybe; but not $90. I can't upgrade again until July of next year and I really hate this happened because I'm basically stuck with the phone. I have no options other than filing the insurance claim or buying a new phone at full retail price. Is there any fix for the screen I could possibly do myself, or am I just screwed?

HTC Aria :: Phone Fell Down And Screen Shattered

Nov 17, 2010

All I can say is damn, My phone fell out of my pocket today and the screen shattered. Luckily I bought it at bestbuy and bought the warranty on it. So I took it in and gave it to them. They gave me some shitty replacement phone and mailed mine off. I have to wait 3 weeks to get my phone back! I haven't had my but only 1 week and 3 days. I love my Aria but damn is it fragile. I do have one one question, I have always wanted a Nexus One is that phone better than the aria and is there any way to put HTC sense on it? If so to both then I will probably buy one unlocked.

HTC Droid Eris :: Shattered Glass / Can I Replace It

Jun 13, 2010

Shattered the glass on my Eris just now at a Texaco, fell out of hands and tried to catch it but ended up accelerating it into the concrete... now, I'm guessing ill haveto change the digitizer along with the glass cause i bet theyre fused together like the iPhone is... broke the glass on my iPhone last year, that was a rough little process. The iPhone is a bit of a beast to repair because of the rubber seals and stuff, is the htc hardware as tough to work on or should I just go bid on a used eris and replace the one I've got? Digitizer still works, lcd is good, I'm typing on it right now, glass i in real bad shape though, ... suggestions ?

HTC Incredible :: Phone's Shattered Incredible Screen

May 2, 2010

So i think i might have the first shattered Incredible screen. I dropped it from two feet onto the metal camera protruding part. It hit with very little force. You can barely even see the mark from falling. So i pick it up and notice the entire screen is shattered when the screen was face up, the screen didn't even hit the ground! I can't believe how thin the Incredible screen is, it literally crumbled jut from the force of a light fall. I'm unimpressed in the build quality of the glass. I want to contact HTC about this and see if they can help me out, it seems like a manufacturing defect, maybe a weak screen? I need to find the biggest case that i can find for my replacement, one that could absorb a fall if it falls on the back part. I am thinking maybe a pillow as a case? That might help. Now im out ANOTHER 100 bucks to make an insurance claim on this. I highly recommend people keeping the insurance, the screen blows up even if it is not directly the part that hits if it is dropped.

HTC EVO 4G :: Shattered Screen Horror Stories

Oct 13, 2010

Well last night I went to see Band Of Horse, it was a great concert btw. Upon leaving I got challenged to a "heel-click" off by my girlfriend. Not wanting to ceed victory I gave it my best and my phone flew out of my pocket and cracked on the sidewalk. Im not too upset I have insurance via sprint (assurant or something like that)...they seem really nice, they said they would send me a new Evo overnight all I had to do was pay my deductible (100). Unfortuantely this morning I cut my hand pretty badly picking up the phone which I thought was funny...so if you shatter your screen be careful!

HTC EVO 4G :: Broken Screen / Shattered Glass

Aug 15, 2010

I just wanted to offer a little information for those who may have cracked screens.I left my EVO on my bumper a few weeks ago. I realized about an hour later I didn't have it. Someone picked it up off of the busy highway and dropped if off at my shop. It had been rolled over numerous times and the screen was completetly shattered. With the help of this site, I found instructions on changing the LCD/Glass and ebay links on where to get it. I got a great deal on ebay, $79 for the lcd/glass complete. Was brand new in the packing. Bought the tools (listed in the instructions found on this site) at the local hardware store, put the lcd/glass on, and the phone works PERFECT! I am very glad. First off I didn't have insurance, and second, this has been the first phone in a while that I have had zero issues with and really like everything about it (coming from numerous blackberries).So basically, thanks for the help, and now we know the phone can take a few cars running over it and the board, battery, back, etc. held up great.It had a best buy case (appears same as seidio innocase) and Zagg screen protector on it.I have my original phone back, no scratches, spent $79 (less than the deductible even if I had insurance), and its a done deal.

I have done extensive searches for even this question and I have yet to find one.

I Obviously have a Driod Eris, I use ChompSmS for my basic texting needs. (Love the phone BTW) I have had this phone for 3 months, so I am not a noob to it.

Basically I have a few conversations that I would like to forward to say an email address, I know you can forward each individual message, but I would like to do the entire thing. Is there any way to do this? Or is there an APP out there that can do this?

Motorola Droid :: Dropped Calls Or People Cannot Hear Me On Phone

Jul 1, 2010

My friend is having a problem with her droid. When she is on the phone talking it is constantly, muting her voice or something cuz no1 can hear her. she just got the phone less than a week ago. I read online and found a bunch of stuff about the proximity sensor and the software issues, however those were all dated last year around winter time. So I am trying to see if there is a current fix for it. I see on the forums people have some problems with hardware on their incredibles but I didn't see a thread for the droid. Basically she can hear people talking but no1 can hear her and it happens like every other phone call.

General :: Samsung Galaxy Gio Dropped - Screen Became Black

Dec 28, 2013

Today when I'm was coming out of gym my phone just fell to the floor. The battery disassembled but it seemed not a big problem.

When I tried to switch it on, the screen became black, but i noticed that the screen turns on because it is not complete black, i noticed a bit of light change. And the most amazing is that I can ear the sound of the music of boot, and the tactile buttons are also with light.

Maybe I can't solve it at home because i would need to dissasemble it but I look for my guarantee and that's in time, the problem is that the phone is rooted, and with rom enhance 236, and this broke my guarantee, can install stock rom just using usb cable?

Android :: Rotate An Image On The Entire Screen

Jul 28, 2010

I can't seem to rotate properly an image on the entire screen. The problem is that when the image rotates, you can see the background in some areas. I want the image to fill the screen also when it rotates. Here is the layout.I start the animation in onResume. As I said, the image rotates but there are background areas when it does rotate. I've tried using images much bigger than the screen but still it doesn't do what I want. I don't care that outer regions of the image are not visible. I just want the rotation to fill the screen. I guess ImageView sets its width and height initially and then, when it rotates, it uses those dimensions. Is there a better way to do this?
