Was at a football game last Sunday & dropped my phone on the ground. It must of fell out of my lap when I jumped up to cheer. Now that hurts! I've been babying it too. Oh well, it was bound to happened sooner or later.
Now my Tilt has scratches on the left & right bottom corners. I was thinking about taking a fine grade of sandpaper & sanding it down. Has anyone tried smoothing out a ding on there phone before. If so, what did you use?
I just recently found a small nick on the top corner of my Tilt. I'm assuming I got it the same day I dropped it. That means my phone must of cart wheeled before falling on its back! *OUCH, That hurts literally!*

Thanks for the link! It's good to know that they sell the OEM casing. It's not cheap though.
I dropped mine for the first time on Saturday night. I almost cried, haha. I have one ding on the bottom corner, towards the back, by the stylus.
I've been doing really well, considering that I usually drop a new device a day or two after getting it.
Last week, however, I was showing off the camera album feature to my sister-in-law and she just had to have a go herself.
Cue my lovely Vario III hitting the ground a second later.
No damage at all though, so I've forgiven her!

That's when it's time to call AT&T......
"If the phone is all of a sudden not working the way it's supposed to... they replace it, free if it's still under warranty".

How funny that's where mine got scuffed up too, right next to the stylus. I was hoping the stylus was the one that substained the damage so I can chage it out. Mine also got scuffed up on the bottom left hand side. It bounced around first before laying on the ground. For the weight and size of this phone I was expecting more damage from the fall.
I guess the more your carefull not to drop the phone the more prone it is to happened.

I thought they gave you refurbs when using warranty exchange.
I dropped mine couple of weeks ago... I was doing a research paper for my university, and papers were all over the place... and sadly my TyTN II was between two papers... so when I pulled one of them... the device flew in the air and landed on the floor... fortunately there was a thick carpet on the floor... thus no harm is done... but during the next five min while I was checking if my phone is still working... I was so pale and scared :s
Man! I hope this does not happen to any of you guys...
Cheers
dropped mine after 2 weeks of having it - i was jogging to the bus at the time - fumbled it out of my belt ouch and dropped it - i accidentally stamped on it at the same time, on rough knobly tarmac, face-down - i skidded a bit on it too, sort of like a sktebaord - i was like 'omgomgomg' picked it up and by some sort of miricle the screen was untouched - fascia is a bit knacked but it all works just fine, only thing is the tilt mechanism is a bit loose now though its still sturdy (ie i can push the top right side and the screen bit will angle slightly against the body, but only by a few millimetres)
Coming Soon...

This will cover any damage to the case and protect it.
I was running into work in a heavy rain carrying a large laptop bag, so I was running fairly spastic, and my Tilt popped out of the case, slid face down on the sidewalk into a puddle. The battery popped out, as well as the stylus. I grabbed all I could find (had to go back later to find the stylus) and shook it out. Then I used a heat gun to gently warm the unit up. after 2 hours, I put the battery back in and it powered up fine, except the touchscreen was dead.
I then left it on my desk on charge with bluetooth, 3g,Wlan and screen full bright on, to generate as much internal heat as possible. After another 2 hours, the touch screen would randomly activate items on the today screen, every minute or so. After watching that for an hour with no real response from the touchscreen yet, I power cycled the phone, and to my surprise, the touch screen worked. Been working ever since.
Luckily the battery poped out otherwise I would think the device would have got fried?
Well, as idiotic as it may sound, I did put the battery back in and power up the phone while it was wet. It seemed to boot up just fine, but I pulled the battery after 15 seconds as to not push my luck.
My Drop . . .
I was running up stairs in my office building (concrete with metal stairstep edging), when something (my Tilt OMG!) suddenly clattered onto the stairs - apparently I had not made sure the magnetic flap on my case was firmly connected - it popped open and the SIM card holder popped out - I fearfully picked it up and inspected - can't find a scratch on it! and it works fine, and nothing seems loose! I'm shocked, surprised and pleased, but will be more careful in the future, obviously (in almost 2 years with my Wizard, I never once dropped it!).
Try to burnish the scuffed areas with a smooth piece of plastic. Start slow and it might kind of fill in by smoothing the rough edges. Kind of like a good paint job on an auto, get it flat as possible and it will shine like a diamond in a goats A*s.
Dropped my 8525 a couple of times and fixed it as mentioned above. Dropped my tilt the first day and it missed the concrete by a fraction of an inch and landed on carpet. Lucky for me only the back flew off and my great little toy is unmared so far.
The older I get the less my hands seem to be actually connected to my body and under my control...
Did I mention I love my tilt and this site?

What kind of plastic are you using?
I tried using some Brasso Metal Polish, but it didn't do anything for it. The Brasso would work on scratches, but I have chunks missing from the plastic on my Tilt & dings. I'm willing to try anything as long as I don't harm my baby! I already feel like she's been abused! LOL!

Does AT&T do exchanges on accidental drops. What about if its passed the 30day window from the say you pruchased it?
I dropped my hd2 facedown onto a rock on my driveway. It shattered the screen from top to bottom. Otherwise the phone is in perfect condition, no scratches or chips from the fall and the lcd is fine too.
From what I've concluded, getting the lcd/digitizer/glass pre-assembly would be my best bet as the digitzer is glued onto the glass and the flex is soldered onto the lcd.
SOOOO my question is, where is the best place to get this but more importantly, is the lcd/glass assembly different for the T-Mobile (USA) HTC HD2 than the UK (I think) HTC HD2. I read somewhere that the T-mobile HD2 is slightly taller but I didn't know if that made a difference for the LCD assembly.
cnn.cn has 2 different shells for the T-mobile and other HD2 but not seperate LCD assemblies.
Thanks
Also, the phone seems to respond fine, but sometimes, it seems to freeze...well not freeze but the screen doesn't respond but buttons do. Could this just be the inconsistincy of the glass and the digizter screwing up the response or did I otherwise jack my phone up somehow?
thanks again, this site has been a lifesaver so far as this is my first windows phone.

hi, i was wondering how water resistant the droid 4 is. i remember one of the selling points for the droid 4 on motorola's website was that it was water resistant. but is it take in the shower water resistant, or just a few drops of water?
also, i heard that there was some kind of coating you could spray on your phone to make it waterproof, does anyone know what its called? i also know there is a company out there that waterproofs phones, but i cant remember the name of it either.
The Droid 4 isn't weather-sealed or otherwise resistant to water any more than other high-end smartphones. If you dribble a bit of water on it, you probably won't kill it, but definitely don't go taking it in the shower or texting in the pool.
I forget what that company is that applies the waterproofing coating too... google around though.
the water resistant coating isn't very reliable.
if you want to use it around water, get a water proof case/bag

Kindy funny subject lol. I remember my cousin threw his old phone straight into the pool just to show off and his phone worked fine but it also wasn't a droid 4. I wouldn't advise go anywhere near the water with your nice D4 ha ha.

Does Liquipel Really Waterproof Your Device?
Leo Laporte and Sarah Lane. At 27:09 into the video Leo reveals that he just got his white iPhone 4s back from Liquipel and decides to give it a quick dunk test into a glass of water. By the end of the show the phone is dead.

the guarantee it.... besides apples could go for a swim and I wouldn't care. Our phones are capable though :/
water resistant?
I know this is an old thread but i had to throw in my two cents. i was recently riding my bike back from the bar and took "evasive action" and fell into a pond... it was about waist deep and i was fully submerged for a second or two with my droid 4 in my jeans pocket. when i clambered out i immediately took it out and my friend dried it off... worked fine. So take that for what you will

Also this is on the Motorola website itself...
DESIGN: DROID STRONG
What makes a phone strong? Well, DROID 4 has a display designed to resist scrapes and scratches and a force field of water-repellent nanoparticles shielding the phone against water attacks — even the electrical boards inside. This is DROID strong.
So after about 4 weeks of this glorious phone, I've managed to crack my digitizer. I was working on my car (lying on my back under the car) and the phone slipped out of my pocket and onto the concrete. Maybe a 6 inch drop at best and got a nice long diagonal crack.
Anyway, I'm going to cut my losses and get a new digitizer. I have the AT&T model... but figured this section gets more responses. The digitizer should be the same right? Would this work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-HTC...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item19dcd8fae5
Any idea how to pop off the digitizer and put the new one on? Out of my 20+ smartphones I've gone through, this is the first time I've ever cracked the glass

Changing digitizer / glass on the HTC One is similar to iPhone 3GS...
use a heatgun (hair blower) to heat up the glass and pry it away using a plastic tool of some sort... be careful around the edges not to damage electronics under it.
the glass you've found should work fine . there is currently only one revision of the glass part..
one problem though would be adhesive to glue on the new glass.
Yah I'm just worried about what adhesive to use to stick on the new glass. Don't want something that will fall off after daily use.. nor do I want something that can't be removed in case I crack it... again.
So I`m on AT&T (More people here to see this) I had to get my 2 month old HTC One replaced it was PERFECT! Perfect screen, No gaps, no issues. Plugged it up one afternoon and it started smoking (Even WITH HTC Cable and charger) Plugged it up 3 different times and it started smoking melted that charger port good! haha.
Anyway AT&T Sent a "Referb" Replacement Its got some scratches and scuffs lightly like it was used! (I like changing phones a lot so it kinda hurts resell) But everything else about the phone seems Great! besides that But I called and they sent another replacement which would be replacement #2
I got it seemed to be referbed no scratches in good shape! But the screen had a yellowish Tint! very noticable when holding two HTC One`s Together.
Replacement #3 which I got today was BRAND NEW it had the No Txting And driving Slip that use on NEW phones Phone has a TINY gap not enough to be bothersom but screen has a Warmish tint and looks to have some red tint on the Bottom Right conner that kinda bleeds up a little bit. I called and there sending another one!
So After having the phone on after about an hour it seems no where near as bad as it was when I first turned it on with the red tint issue still a bit warm though is there any curing time with these screens?
