What did your phone endure?

I have an LG Optimus One and it felt in milk ( In the cereal bowl ), and it's as good as new and it smells nice + it hit the floor about 10 times and it has only 2 little scratches. Mine works perfect and looks as new. How about yours?

Mine simply walked into Mordor.

The galaxy s ii didn't survive one day. Got it on new yrs eve. Pulled it out and that's what it looked like. That was a crazy night. The guys at the store said they have only seen one other one break. He then went to the display and hit it with his keys over and over and over. Same thing I did with my galaxy s. Never broke.
But the phone that takes the cake is my HTC fuze. I've had to dig that out of the wall twice when I threw it. Fell from a second story balcony. It was indestructible.
- this sig is just so I don't have to write 10char when on my phone -

My phone has been through a lot. I've accidentally dropped it so many times without a case. It slid in the street face down once when it fell out my hand when i was crossing the street. No damage was done minus the shell was a little scuffed.

I have to agree on the fuze. Went flying many times. I still have mine. The battery expanded to it doesn't work, I'll just need a new battery though.

This. I threw it. Still functions normally.

Oh I forgot to mention the captivate, ATT's version of the galaxy s, was made of metal. Great build quality samsung. What happened. But that phone was my swiss army knife. It opened beer bottles, crushed pills, made dust of stuff, ect. Used it to tap on people's heads. It was quite the brick.

My x10 has been through a lot
lots of accidental falls.
usage in rain
has even fell on the road during rain with its battery out.
came home put the battery back and It still works flawless

Dropped my SGS into a large McDonalds latte...... Survived, but charging/power issues only disappeared after changing to gb bootloaders.
Also survived 2 weeks of testing steam kernel.

I don't know how many times my old Galaxy Spica endured being accidently dropped while riding my bike, but 3 hours in mom's bag it couldn't....

I work in a deep-freeze warehouse (-30f or so), but my galaxy s2 is usually under a few layers of specialized gear I wear, so nothing more than a bit of condensation when I go back out where its warmer.

What's the stupidest thing you've done with/to your phone?

I just had to share this. I heard that the S2 has Gorilla Glass... so I naturally assumed that it was indestructible. I told my brother nothing could scratch it. So I found something sharp and he went at it for 20 seconds. After a quick inspection, I found no scratches. After closer inspection, I found minor scratches. Well, I felt them. So, it does scratch and now I'm stuck with these little hairline scratches. Oh well I guess...

Move this thread to off topic section instead closing it...

Not me... But once, my friends and I went to an ice rink just for fun. A hockey game was going on and we decided to watch. As we were sitting there, we realized there was a net that goes around the glass. He decided it would be fun to take video on his phone while bouncing it on the net. Eventually, after doing this for several minutes, his phone went THROUGH the net, onto the ice, and shattered... During the game. Idiot...

I bought a mint condition HTC hd2 a few months back, it was pristine... never even had anything flashed on it. That night I went out to eat and dropped it from the dinner table to the concrete floor at Texas roadhouse. Of course it shattered. I replaced the screen and sold it on here to our friend cajunflavoredbob at a $60 loss. I almost cried when I dropped it. :')
What are they selling!? CHOCOLATE!!

MIUI?

Forced the Magic for a broadcomm wlan kernel object for the HTC DesireHD to try to fix non functioning wifi, It was one commit short, what harm could it possibly do. Sent the driver to the phone. insmod, Instant Reset. it doesn't end there, LOL.
Turns out that one extra commit fixed a null reference pointer in the driver. The same null ref ptr that cause a kernel panic with a 5 second shutdown notification. The wlan driver is one on the first things checked when the device starts.
Did I mention the Volume rocker was non functioning and "adb reboot bootloader" was just not quick enough to win the race.
Stripped it down to get at the volume pads.... longish story short.... A flashing power led and lsusb reporting a vendorid that matched Qualcomm, does not a happy device make.
Turns out I'm not Paul Daniels ( David Copperfield for non UK readers ) and I should leave the magic to the kernel. :laugh:

Manufacture defect in our screens? Internal Dip?

The day i got my Galaxy S4 i went straight to charge the device. I left it on my nightstand which is under a window and when i saw the reflection of my blinds through the screen, they where bent out of shape and the reflection looked distorted. Looking closer, the screen seems to have a circular dip in the middle left-ish area. All the devices I tested this do not have a distort. (iphone 5 and 4S, the SIII)
I'd like for everyone to look at there device and make sure they don't have this also. I cant check the devices over at carrier stores, abit busy sadly...
I've given a Sample of lines that u can use as a test and also left a quick video, ill try to make a better one but its all i could at this moment. Also its extremely hard to get it on a video vs what u see in person =/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ej5VCPnKls
Best way's too test are as follows.
1) place your phone right in front of you on your computer desk and look at your Monitors reflection. It works extremely well when you look at Lines or a lot of text.
2) Look at a bunch of stuff that's well lit.

Man, I have exactly the same problem and the easiest way for me to see it is to have a reflection of a fluorescent tube on the black screen. It's ugly! This doesn't seem to be a universal thing, though, because this is the first post I have come across since I found out about the distortion problem. Did you find out anything at Bestbuy?

My first galaxy s4 had dead pixels, my second galaxy s4 had scuffing all over it, a large scratch on the MICRO sd card port, overheated and would constantly shut off, followed by the display that completely died a day later. Sprint advised me to give the HTC one a shot. As soon as I got the HTC one home, noticed paint run off, gaps between panels, dings, dents, pretty much the poorest quality control standards I have ever seen. Now I have to find away to get sprint to allow a FOURTH return on a 600.00 device. I may have to get mean, I dont like to act that way, but what sprint has put me through to obtain a working 600.00 high end device is not acceptable, I would not wish the experience I am going through on my worse enemy.
Im not picky, and I understand mistakes when they happen. But two damaged/defective S4's, and one damaged/defective HTC one in matter of 7 days? I really cant even believe it.
All I buy is Samsung products when it comes to electronics, never in my life have I EVER received two defective units in a row. I feel like a crazy crack addict every time I go back to the sprint store and request a replacement. If sprint didn't have a 14 day satisfaction guarantee, I would be out 600.00, because there is no way in a million years samsung or HTC would take responsibility for scuffing or damage to the body of the device. Even with sprints 14 day satisfaction guarantee, you are only allowed 1 device exchange. So basically, im entitled to nothing with this issue, and any day sprint is going to show me the door or refer me to Asurion for a 3 day old 600 dollar phone.

Thank you Nick for this idea of such an off-topic
One day, I was so angry with my defy+ with wiui (but same with cm7) that I threw it on the floor.
The gorilla glass was strong enough but the lcd panel broke inside...
I repair it, put stock rom on it and it is working nice !
And yes, it's bad, those things costs money... Now I prefer to take a deep breath before becoming mad.

These kind of threads are useless. Why the hell u would throw a expensive phone because of a crap rom. My advice for those idiots(no offense) is to see the reviews and the thread before installing the rom.

I once had to calibrated the rom on my Gnex with asphalt ,REMEMBER if your try this the key is to drop it from a height of 4ft any higher or lower will result incorrect calibration and will brick your device. also it is recommended clean the system partition prior to the asphalt calib., I suggest using warm water not hot and normal dish detergent, use your favorite brand is fine.:silly::highfive:

Well, if you do, be prepared to spend half an hour using the edge of a piece of paper to remove all of the sand from between the screen and silver edge of the phone.

Can't you just simply watch it as it is water resistant ?

Well, I literally sucked some of the sand out with my mouth, so there's that. A lot of it was still stuck under the edge of the screen, but I eventually got it all out with the edge of a sheet of paper. I might try a vacuum next time.

yeahhhh ive got the same problem.. its such a hassle especially if the grain of sand is the same exact dimensions as the gap its as if it was wedged in there permanently!!
sometimes the grain of sand thats stuck it there cuts my cheek when i answer the phone lol
i would suggest a toothpick or a sewing needle.. worked for 99.9% of mine!

I was too scared to try anything pointy. If the toothpick/needle didn't get the last grains out, try computer paper, notebook paper, and then try each of them folder over one time (to create a sort of "scooper" that will fit in the groove). This got me completely sand free.
