Shoots, I finally dropped my Tilt on the ground. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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!*

Sorry to hear that bud,

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!

Loose Stylus on XDA2i - lost 2 of my 3 in 2 days!!>>&g

Hiya!
I'm miffed!
I lost 2 of my 3 original styli in the space of 2 days - dam things!
I noticed first when I saw it lying near my Xda one time on my side table. Thought nothing of it. Then a couple days later I go to reach - and it's gone! I thought dam, must've not put it back in properly and got a spare out of my Xda goody bag.
1 Day later, I got to use it in the bank to add up some cheques - bloody gone again!
I'm using my last one now and have noticed it's not sitting in the compartment tightly at all, turn it upside down give it a little shake, woop, out it falls!
I think I'm going to use the 'sellotape' fix, anyone else know of anything else? - I don't fancy sticking blu tak down there!
annoying!
Dennis! West London UK!!
First of all, I don't have the device.
Anyway, I noticed that most of the PDA stylus has a little groove near the tip (writing end). That's what is used for holding the stylus in. Since you are using new ones and keep loosing, it is not the stylus fault, probably the (latch?) thing that is holding onto that groove is 'weak'. So, I think if you were to have a tape circling the stylus just after the groove, it may help? Or try a few drops of superglue near the groove (MAKE SURE THEY ARE DRY FIRST BEFORE INSERTING IT BACK ON) to create a permanant 'hill' which the 'weak' latch can hold onto.
Ahhyes I suffered the same fate! But not in a bank.
All I did was get my second stylus and very gently bend(tweak) it ever so slightly. This also makes it slide into the slot a little harder than normal but not lost my second one yet!
Just be very gentle on bending. I dont know how easy they are to snap cause I never took it that far.
I just tweaked mine a bit as it was loose. You don't need much of a bend for it to work, you won't even notice it when your using the stylus.

When you say "tweak" - do you mean the metal part or the dark grey part? When I bend the latter it feels like it's going to snap!
I've had two 2is now, and I only have one stylus left.
At the moment it's in my phone, but I'll be putting it back into the white box the phone came in from O2 after I've written this, because I hardly ever use it anyway. I've experienced the same fate three times now, but I know where one of my styluses is - on my University's other campus, about 4 miles away from where I am... That's what happens when you go to someone's flat after a heavy night of drinking for MORE heavy drinking, and (of course) sharing round of the phone for everyone to drunkenly play Jawbreaker on.
I'm amazed I left with my phone, nevermind my stylus, I woke up at 6am nestled in a little cranny inbetween a street lamp and a wall Man that was a heavy night of drinking.
The other styli have just slipped out when I've been moving the phone from pocket to hand to pocket, even when I've bent them to stop them from slipping out they just fall out.
I was getting fed up with the middle of the screen becoming pushed in (and you get that rainbow effect as the inner and outer plastic layers of the screen stick together) so I brought a screen protector from Discount GPS Direct, and now I just mash the screen with my fingers. Also means I have a stylus left if I decide to sell my 2i on at a later date

Stupid question (Kaiser the stunt)

Do you have any experience with Kaiser falling on the ground from - let's say 1.5 meters?
Every of my prevous phones hit the ground at leas one time (happens!). They were simple cellphones, not smart- or palm- ones. Single fall meant nothing for these devices.
What about Kaiser and its keyboard? I'm scared that first fall will be the last (death).
(Please don't answer with suggestions like "try not to drop it", ok?)
Hate to admit it but I've dropped mine a number of times. Once on cement, that scratched up the sides a bit but that's all. Other times the battery cover has come off but that's all.
Much stronger than the Blue Angel was. I dropped that phone and that was the end of it. In my mind this phone gets an A in structural design.
I like your answer very much.
dropped it numerous of times.. but only when i had it seated in its leather pocket belt.. while running, while lifting stuff, etc.
yep, mine has wacked the sideway a few times, just surface scraches. i bet if i really tired i could fill the divits in with some plastic modeling compund, sand and touch up with paint and you would nver know the diffrence.

Only dropped it once, from about waist height onto concrete. It stayed together, and only suffered a few scratches.
My old HTC Universal was dropped several times, it never suffered more than cosmetic damage.
I think it would be more likely that either phone could suffer more damage from a drop than a normal cell phone, simply because of the larger screen. But I went through several Ipaq's that seemed to self destruct from 30cm drops onto carpet. The total lack of cosmetic damage meant i managed to get away with having them replaceed under warrenty from the big name shop I bought them from since they couldn't 'see' any damage. In comparison, the Kaiser seems a like a Sherman tank...just don't go out trying it!
I'm kind of worried about this... My k750i survived numerous drops onto concerete, followed by being kicked as it fell, causing it to cartwheel accross the floor. The Kaiser doesn't seem *that* robust, to the extent that I bought a payg sim to put in the k750i to take out with me when excessive alcohol consumption will be involved.
I haven't dropped mine once. I don't know but I protect this more than the iPhone I had. . . I almost dropped it but I caught it and it was like 3-4 feet. Seems structurally strong and not the empty plastic feeling.
Would any know where we can get the replacements parts for HTC Tilt 8925 without the front camera?
I dropped mine also. The sad thing is that I dropped it with the HTC case. HTC case does not provide protection on the sides, so I have a good indentation on the bottom right corner of the front face plate. It is right below the OK key.
It bothers me, but the phone is still good as new after the drop.
I have a bunkbed here at school, knocked it off of that a couple times, which is a good 5 foot drop. i've also fallen on it a few times while freelining. (look it up) not a scratch on it, other than from the crap NuShield screen "protector".
dropping it seems ok but dont twist it I had mine in my suit breast pocket when I took it out the screen was broken had to replace the screen the tech said it was probly from bending over and putting pressure on the screen

First hard drop...

So i just dropped my phone from head height onto a concrete floor
It slipped out of my hand while i was talking as i bumped into someone.
.
.
.
.
It survived! no marks, i'm not sure how it landed, but it was screen down on the floor when i found it.
Has anyone else dropped theirs and how has it managed? I'm sure we'd all like to know how much abuse it actually can handle.
same happens here...
and it dropped exactly the same way as yours did..haah
just like yours, no scratch and yet nth bad happened yet
Would have been even funnier if u were the one i bumped into lol
I think the cut off corners on the back really help. The back is heavier due to the battery and if it falls on a corner it seems to fall on the back cut off corner.
What a nightmare
i had 2 accidents. one of them "bent" the soft aluminum in the corner. still black and still working. the second one was so powerful that dissembled my diamond in 3 pieces: diamond (lol), cover and battery. i found the battery 2 meters from the disaster scene. this PDA seems to be a sturdy SOB..
any way, don't try this at home folks!!!1
Oh my preciousssss...

Nice to know it can survive a few knocks! It must have been one of those oh **** moments. Did the guy actually stop to apologise, I would have probably thumped him one, not that i advocate physically attacking someone LOL
So was it rough concrete, like paving stones, or something smooth like a tilled floor?
I sat in a recliner chair outside the other day and lay back. My diamond slipped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor from about a height of 30-40cm. There's now a small (very small) dent in the aluminium bit, bottom right, near the stylus slot.
It's hardly noticable, but I was gutted at the time!

lol, it was my fault actually.. i was to busy talking on the phone and not paying atention. It was a smooth concrete floor thankfully!
not a diamond but...
Twice now I've had accidents with my Polaris on the running machine. The phone was resting in the slot on the machine while I was running. I must have knocked the headphone cable or something because the phone got yanked from the slot, dropped (about chest height) onto the treadmill and went flying back into the wall behind. Not even a scratch!
OUCH!!
<10 chars>
dropped mine from waist height....
my waist is probably higher than most of your ears lol JOKE lol again but anyways I got a little tiny scratch on the stylus....I guess thats why they give you 2 of those puppies....I love it. You know its a little heavier than most pdas from the metal frame but yes its a tough SOB and also I heard that the screen is made of some kind of really special plexiglass to prevent cracks. I heard you can drop it from a two story building and the glass will not crack!!! I would definately not try this at home but its what I heard....
I dropped it on the way back from the pub!!
The metal bezel now has three deep lines in it on the front side under the hardware buttons Fortunatly its still black
The top of the bezel on the front also has 3 scartches which have exposed the silver metal underneath.
what a disaster!
You remember that James Bond Movie with the evil guy having Diamonds in his face?
Well, my device slipped out of my hands , glided a meter or 2 on the parking ground and has now similar small dots (diamonds) on the lower part and casing.
But no worries, I gonna let "tune" paint & polish my Diamond.
They ask 150 NTD (5US) for refurbushing a PDA phone here
You guys gave me the creeeepssss.
Hmm i thought it was just me at first, but i've been checking all day, and my touch screen has become ALOT more sensative since the drop.
I actually had a phone call and while trying to fumble to pick up the call i dropped the phone. When i picked it up the touchscreen wouldnt work. After a reboot it was fine again. Now the lightest touch registers on the screen. Very wierd, but the scartches almost seem worth it to have it working so well.
I hope it doesnt die on my now :s

How durable is our HD2?

Hi,
Got my HD2 couple months back and using it with silicon cover since beginning but now I want to take the cover off and show the real beauty of the phone to everyone but I am too scared to take the silicon cover off because I am clumsy and I drop my phone way too frequently.
I know the phone looks very durable but exactly how durable is it??? can people share some experiences like oh I dropped it from 5ft and it was intact or oh I dropped it from 2ft and the screen broke etc etc.
I used to have HTC Kaiser/tilt and I dropped it way too my times without any covers but it never gave up on me.
PS: I know there is no real way to define durability of a cellphone but u know there are some cellphones which are really delicate and u have to handle them with extra extra care. While there are some like the kaiser who are made for rough use. Just want to know which category our HD2 belongs to?
not very. i've cracked my screen twice.

oops!!! sorry about that!!!
did you drop it screen facing down? or on some corner of the phone?
I've used mine without any sort of protection since the day it was released in US (end of March). It does not have a single scuff, mark, or scratch anywhere. I just dropped it for the first time a week ago from a counter roughly 2.5 feet onto a hard tile floor and still no scuff, mark, or scratch (I don't know how it fell as it was dark when it happened and I was looking in a different direction; turned my head while headphones were plugged in so it pulled it off the counter).
I'm extremely happy with the durability of the HD2.
Since Nov
Ive had my HD2 since Nov last year...
No cover no protection.. and it looks like new.. I dont know how you managed to break the screen twice.. you probably throw that phone in some weird angles.. but really does last well!
dropped mine from my lap getting out of my low car onto the bitumen and fell back down perfectly flat. absolutely smashed the screen but 2 months later its still working fine and waiting for it to die before replacing the screen. i work installing solar panels (PV) on roofs, crawling though ceilings, etc. sees alot of abuse so while the screen smashed the components inside are well placed. had it before america could get it (in australia)
i got it since 10 months now, without any cover. screen is absolutely clean, but the rest looks a bit used, but not that bad
a friend is using it without respect. throwing it over the table and such things, he never broked something on the phone.. the screen stopped working one time and he needed it to replace cause that, but it didnt break xD
another friend broke his screen when his hd2 fellt on a freakin spoon on the floor (WTF did that spoon on the floor?)
Had it 2 1/2 weeks, no scratches, no scuffs. Just annoying dust under the screen
I have mine almost a year now.
A few weeks ago he started acting weird. Screen flipped sideways and putted speaker on.
I've send it to repair and they replaced the motherboard. Everything is ok now again.
No scratches after such a long time with no screen protector.
ive dropped mine once from about 3 fet and it only made a slight scuff on the corner
ive always had a screen protector but never any other protection and it looks great for the past 4 months
very happy with it

If you get dust under the screen, then it is a factory defect. Since the screen is glued to the LCD, somewhere around the edge it's not completely sealed. I have had mine for 7 months now and I do not have even ONE spec of dust under the screen, and I carry it in my pocket without any protection at all, all the time.

When I say dust, I mean there were a couple of hairs in the screen when I got it. They don't affect any viewing pleasure so I didn't return it

First Drop

So last night I dropped my phone for the first time. There was this pan sticking out from the table that was very hot and I moved my hand really fast away from the pan and my phone went flying out of my and the worst part my phone hit the floor. No cracked screen Damage wasn't bad but I have these light scratches on the screen and one little scratch on the top left conner of the phone. The drop was bad and I'm surprised the damage wasn't greater then it was. Anyone else drop there phone yet? The scratches are so light I think i can buff them out with wax but will that mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? What's everyones input or stories?

Sounds okay to me, I would've probably expected a crack from that kinda fall. Luckily I haven't dropped mine yet, but I'm being very careful with it.

Let's hope it never happens to you such a beautiful phone to have digs and scratches.
I dropped mine last nite. I was sitting on a chair on the patio smoking, and I was asked to do something. I forgot that the phone was in my lap and stood up. It flew across the patio landed on cement, slid, and I cringed.
Picked it up and not a scractch. SOOOo happy.
I spent like 20 minutes going over it with a fine tooth comb too.
:fingers-crossed:
At least it didn't crack! The first drop is always the hardest. But hell, its a phone this won't be the first scuff/scratch/ding you're gonna get on it.

Anyone know if I buff the scratches out with wax if it will mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? Cause right now the finger prints don't show but I'm guessing its the coating.

do not do anything based on what I say, but my understanding is that gg2 doesn't have a olephobic coating but is just olephobic itself.

Bro that looks good! Honestly theres noting wrong with damaging your phone as long as its not too bad. Before you could re sell phones but with this starting out so cheep I doubt it's even worth being extra careful with it. Whats the point of having the inconvenience of a case for an entire year when you're probably just going to move on anyways? And like I said, that is minor damage, I wouldn't hardly stress it.
That's not that bad! Though consider yourself lucky as there are people who have cracked/shattered phones and they have no idea why...
Mine slid off of my desk twice yesterday. Which is strange because I never thought my desk was slanted.
dropped mine from waist height onto hard wood floor, no marks.

The scratches are so light I think i can buff them out with wax but will that mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? What's everyones input or stories?

Mine slid off of my desk twice yesterday. Which is strange because I never though my desk was slanted.

Not only is the nexus 4 a smartphone, but now you can use it to measure levels!! That's innovation right there

So last night I dropped my phone for the first time. There was this pan sticking out from the table that was very hot and I moved my hand really fast away from the pan and my phone went flying out of my and the worst part my phone hit the floor.

Imagine that! Some people ate getting cracks from placing then shown softly. Others are getting started that apart out of nowhere. You actually drop yours and the glad is totally in fact and fine! I don't know how that weak gorilla glass could stand up to it! You should post this in that weak gorilla glass thread.
Seriously though, I am glad your phone did not sustain to much damage. I know even a small ding hurts but think of how much worse it could have been.

I dropped mine twice yesterday. First it slid off the arm of a chair. Then I pulled it off my night table with the headphone cord doh! Not a mark on it though

You can sell it on eBay for $550 and buy a new one.
