[Q] Captivate rather fragile - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dropped my cappy yesterday and killed it.
It only dropped from about shoulder height to the garage floor. Picked it up and found one corner of the display still lit and 3 internal cracks going across the display.
Pulled the battery and powered back up to a dead screen.
I've dropped every cell phone I've owned, this is the first time a drop has damaged one. Seems rather fragile to me. I have the insurance so I'll be getting a new one.
Anyone else kill theirs by dropping?

Shoulder height to floor could be 5 feet or higher. That's a pretty good drop for a phone with as minimal a case as this one.

I dropped mine off my lap getting out of my car.... after the third day of owning it. It cracked the glass but everything still worked. At&t replaced it via insurance claim.

How is your otterbox? Is it the sticky rubber kind that sticks to your pocket? I still have the body glove one. Tried a hard case but found it to be too bulky and hard to get to the dropdown menu.

So, other phones dropped on a concrete surface survived?

Dropped my D1 while holding it to my ear to the hardwood floor before. Battery poped out as well as got a ding on the side of the phone, but screen is fine. Tough little phones

This just in: glass cracks when dropped on concrete. News at 11.
Ok, to be serious, without a case, I would *expect* a fall from that height to break the glass on the screen. Yes it's hardened & scratch resistant Gorilla glass, but it's still glass after all. I mean, look at Pyrex. That stuff is amazing, but drop a Pyrex beaker on a lab floor, and you're still likely to smash it.
I'd suggest a case that includes lots of rubber, and maybe a screen protector. Both will help in case of drops/falls. Personally, I use an otterbox w/o anything over the screen, but it's all up to you...
Also "[Q] This is My Opinion" is not really a question. Just sayin'.

Ya, I've probably had 12-15 cell phones over the years, starting with the Motorola "Brick".
I've dropped every single on of them, even threw one across the room (but thats another story) I've ended up with broken covers and dents and dings, but everyone of them kept on working. None of them ever had any kind of case.

Didn't break the outside glass. The internal glass has 3 cracks running across it but the outside glass is fine.

after that many different phones all hitting the floor at some point dont you think its about time for one to finally break on you? i mean, you can drop a single phone a hundred times from the same distance and it work just fine with just a scratch, but if it hits a sweet spot like a corner, then it could completely shatter,
and that said, my cappy has survived several falls, but it was always in the otterbox, so its survived so far.

Have you ever owned a phone with a "glass" screen before?
Either use a case or don't drop it.

I have a cheap $5 rubber case on mine and have dropped several times without issue. As has been said, if it falls just right, it will crack but the gorrilla glass in these is pretty damn durable.

I have no case on mine and have dropped it many times, still looking good here.

Threw my fuze into a wall. Dug it out and it worked just fine.

my captivate survived 2 drops on...1 on concrete 1 asphalt. Bad habit it setting my phone on my lap in the car. Both times i stood up out of SUV and phone fell probably 4.5-5 feet onto ground....1 fall = 1 small scratch on the plastic at bottom of the phone....2nd drop = no damage....phone is in case now wasn't going to test my luck with a 3rd.

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

Anybody done Drop Test on Note?

Just curious to know!
accidentally, from 2ft onto concrete with no case on. There is a slight scrath on the metal surround, other than that no damage at all.

Thanks for the update. Your answer is some what helping me
I had a confuse as the size it too large!
Accidently from 2ft onto carpet with a gel case on - it was fine
Dropped it like 20 times on various surfaces (including concrete) already, w/o case. Got some minor scratches on the "metal" frame, but even that is only slightly visible. Other than that: works like a charm + no scratches in the display.
Well different people have had different experiences. I have never dropped the phone yet... (Touches Wood)

Same here. some scratches on the plastic rim
Bit of a shame it's ask plastic would have been move if the trim was metal to help protect it without a case.
I dropped it from like one foot, fell out of my pants got a mark on the trim, which I totally thought was metal.. Bit disappointed. First Samsung device, HTC definitely kick Samsungs arse in build quality/durability which is needed in a handset.

no it cant be dropped . i droped it from 1 feet and got small scratches on the blue surrounding but thats all.
I must confess I have done the same involuntary experiment, same result. The fall was slowed by the headphone cable and the phone landed vertically and then falled on it's back. Result: scratches on the bottom metal and a very small one on plastic back. Screen intact.

My kid disobeyed the Golden Rule of not touching my phone and dropped it from about 3 feet. Surprisingly, an angel swooped in and grabbed it, raised it where he can't reach and waited for me to retrieve it. Seriouly though, is there a way to get warranty on this phone? I bought it from eBay a week ago but it didn't give me an option to purchase a US warranty.

I dropped mine today It was in my jeans pocket, and when i got out of the car, it dropped straight onto the concrete with no case on. I screamed when i saw that it dropped with the screen DOWN.
BUT, the screen didn't get ONE SINGLE scratch! The only thing that got a couple of scratches was the bezel. Nothing major, but i'm happily using the flip case now
Dropped it once from my bike at around 1m high. The silicone case took all the shock, so great investment

Metal can get scratched specially aluminum when dropped on concrete or asphalt. Have you seen the latest HTC phones? They're all made out of plastic.
As long as there are no flexes in the chassis where it actually counts, i couldn't careless about the usage of plastic

Metal makes the phone more stable and screen to easy to brake because on a fall the power from the drop goes to the screen without looking a strength front the metal bending or braking, my English isn't so good to explain more a static solution about the thema. Just check iphone cracking display because of it's metal body. And to answer your question, no I don't think you have space to put plastic between to absorb the fall. If a fellow with static experience and better English could explain them if this isn't enough.

How many times have you drop your Note?

Hi Guys,
I just want to know if anyone of you have had dropped there Note on the floor or off the bed or off the table?
How did it go?
I know I did. I just got a call from someone unexpectedly while my Note was charging. It was one of those calls that caught me really offguard and I was near sleep at that time.
And I really was thrown offguard that I slipped the Note off my hands and into the.floor.. Oh sh*t was all I could utter.
Good thing our second floor in our house was.made of wood or else I could have kiss the phone goodbye.
Anyone experiencing the same more or less accident than what I had?
Care to share guys?

dropped it enough times (not to remember how many) on to carpeted floors. dropped it about 6 times onto hard floor (accidentally), twice hard enought to dislodge the official flip case and spen and battery but phone has survived without a scratch (once it had fallen flat on screen but with flip cover covering it on to hard floor and luckily survived the fall from about 2 - 3 feet height). once my child dropped it through the gap in the sofa bed and screen edge landed on the metal rods of the sofa bed and screen survived but small dent on the plastic like thing surrounding the raised screen glass.
been lucky so far but need to insure the phone soon.
Three months out and never dropped mine not one bit. I treat this thing like it came from my own sperm. I don't let others touch it because I'm afraid if anyone drops it, i won't be able to control myself and stab someone in the face.....

I just got my gnote today and luckily I haven't dropped it. But the Guy I alsmost bought his gnote yesterday dropped his while on the way to my place to sell it. The screen was broken as a result. Poor Guy.

A couple of times, and it doesn't have a scratch. Much better durability than an iPhone.

4 times. One from 3 feet on rough asphalt. Bottom metal border scratched, screen intact.
The others were from 1 - 2 feet on hard but smooth floor, no consequences at all.
I have more complains about the back cover, it's getting worn out (the texture on the back is disspearing on some parts) from just resting the phone on tables.
Fortunately it's cheap to replace.
I work in a bar, wearing a tabard with front pockets where I put everything on as I cannot reach my pants pockets when wearing it.
Basicly it's always in front of me, while I keep leaning against the bar furniture with iron pins sticking out (to hang bottle openers and towels.).
I broke me 60$ watch glass against one of the pins, but haven't scratched the phone a single time, while (no kidding) I keep hitting it with all the stuff in my front pockets.
So, you might call me lucky for 2 reasons, 1. not breaking my screen or 2. having such awesome phone!
I might think about placing a custom screen protection from a dealer who send the wrong size of screen protectors for a 10" tablet who i can cut out, then use the metal cover I bought (Forgot the name, but is the one you protect the side of the phone with, 4 letter name)
I also dropped it from 1.5m high on tiles andit jumped quite far away with an epic slide, not a dam scratch
PV-
off the bed and off the coffee table. less than 10 times
either i'm lucky or the silicon case saves the day
Twice.. Had to repair the screen.. sigh

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?

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.

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.

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 my M20P..and guess what happened

No screen protector, only Huawei silicone case.
I had wire connected phone to laptop, heard doorbell, grabbed the fone and jumped off the bed, cable snapped out, phone slipped off my hand, flew two feet away from the bed and at a hight of around 2-3 feet, and fell flat on ceramic tile floor.
Thud! It sounded plastic-like, screen was facing upwards. I thought at least a shatter, picked it up and guess what.... nothing happened, screen is absolutely fine, not even a single scratch (also given that I have keys and phone in the same pocket most of the time).
Strike one
Wtf?
Strike one because your phone didn't break?
I get it, it's concerning/annoying to get such unexpected results when something like this happens. But don't worry, maybe "better luck" next time!
Btw, I wonder how much it would cost to replace the display as I assume it's not covered by the warranty?

If you are seriously concerned about damaging your M20Pro in a fall/drop the 2 available UAG cases might be worth considering. I bought one but to me it was too bulky and made the phone uncomfortable to hold. Some people seem to love those cases.
