That's either a strange defect or you carry sandpaper in your pocket.
Either way bum deal sorry to hear about it

Buy a clear case if you still want to keep the style. If you want to try warranty and claim it a defect, go ahead. Rooting and unlocking the bootloader will not deny you warranty for physical problems like yours.

so unfair.. i think im just gonna go back to the att store and have them do something about it all because im too lazy to contact HTC and press a bunch of numbers lol. i don't understand how this could have happened.. so strange.

I really hope you're not just trolling. If not I apologize but I just can't buy that all of that is from a few days use. I've been on my Vivid with no case for almost a couple weeks now and don't show anything remotely close to that. What are setting it down on? Or what else do you have in your pockets?

trolling? never. i am not setting it down anywhere...i hate doing that..its always in my hand. i go to school in the morning and its in my pocket.. always.. same thing at work. i don't remember dropping it at all.. nothing in my pocket.

Maybe start using some hand lotion?
Give the guy a break. I've had the phone since release day and have the same issue. In fact, my phone already had one faded spot on the battery cover when I pulled it out of the box brand new.
also another thing i keep noticing and its bothering me for some reason.. when phone is on or lit.. wenever i tilt the phone down or sideways and look at the edges of lcd i can see white line running across i don't know if that's normal part of the lcd or not..

I'm not trying to give him a hard time. Just having a hard time believing that it's only from a few days of use pulling in and out of pocket. My usage is the same and do not even see a hint of it. Maybe a bad batch of Vivids went out? Even so, I'd take it back and exchange it.

I think that's probably back light bleed you're seeing. It's common on most LCD displays.
will it eventually spread? is it common with all Vivids?? can anyone else notice it?
sorry guys but i paid 200 for this device.. i wanna know all these things before i change my mind and get skyrocket..
Mine has a little fading, but thats just because I decided to slide it over to someone (numerous times back n forth) while not in the right of mind... But mines not nearly that bad.
sorry i just realized this picture is ultimate fail.. but you get what im talking about..
I haven't seen this issue, but I got the white vivid.

That's just the back light lighting up the edge of the glass. No, it won't spread.
On a side note, it seems like you're trying to talk yourself into getting rid of it anyways, no?
I had the same thing happen to me about a week after I got my Vivid. I had no idea what it was, I assumed it occurred from when I dropped the phone once.
Do you have granite lining your pockets? I can't even fathom how this would happen. I have a white Vivid, so the paint could be different, but I have had a lot of phones and never used a case on any of them and I have yet to even scratch one. The closest I ever came to the kind of damage you're showing is when I used to slide a Blackberry curve in and out of a plastic clip holster numerous times/day. I can't fathom how jean pockets can do this to a phone.

I saw this on my phone too yesterday, but it doesn't appear when the screen is off so I think it must be back light bleed. I freaked out a little at first, thinking something was defective inside the screen!

There's no way that's from a few days of use. Post the date of your reciept. I've had mine without a case since december 6th. It still looks brand new. And you paid $200? So? I paid nearly $600

Me too, brother, though it was the best $600 I've spent in a long time. Way happier with this phone than my iPhone 4s and most of the other Android phones I have had.

So while chasing my 2yr old son around, I bumped a chair with my belt holder and my phone and holder became a projectial. it was like slow motion for a moment while I tried to grab it before it hit the floor, but I was too late. I pick it up and hit the power button only to discover a pretty crack in the screen.

Luckily, a few months back I discovered MyMobile. A program that allows you to view your phone's screen on a computer through a data cable. I connected my phone and pull up MyMobile and the 1st thing i did was my stuff on my phone. the touched screen worked

I was going to buy a friend's Kaiser, but after some research I found a eBay seller with a deal on a screen, digitizer, and tools needed for the job for $34.49 shipped. the user name is yallstore, and their website is yallstore.com. one of the better experiances I've had on eBay.
I got the package in the mail today.
i took the 4 screws out the back of tilt section and used the pry tool to loosened the housing. then, diconnected the ribbon cable and pulled the busted screen out.
I then slid the new screen in ,connected the ribbon cable and tested it before i put everything back together.
sucess
anyone need a digitizer (touchscreen part) ???
i gotta a used one
just wanted to say thanks for posting ur exp, unfortnately my screen on my tilt broke yesterday , saw your thread, and promptly ordered a new screen from yallstore. Currently using my tilt through mymobile lol, but, how long did it take for you to recieve your package? i ordered the priority shipping for 10$ since i needed it by next week.
about 5 days. the seller is in NY and i'm in GA.
Alrite cool, im in FL, shouldnt be too long
easy install?
Cool i am gona order one today.. Your way looks easy, i watched a youtube screen replacement video amd looked like you had to take the whole thing completely apart was like 10 to 15 steps to do lol. Your way looks a lot better. lets hope i dont mess it up . thanks for the link to the seller also.
yeah, it's not that hard. the hardest part is prying the housing apart. i found a good write up that i used as a referance while doing mine. i'll see if i can find it
ahhh, I bookmarked it
here it is http://www.formymobile.co.uk/vodafone1615disassembly.php
hope this helped
thanks
Ok good deal, i'll look it up. I ordered the screen from the same place you did. I had sold my tilt and didnt know how much i would miss a cell with windows so i was at a flea market and a guy had a tilt there with a $45.00 price on it so i asked whats wrong with it and he said its has a red blue white screen and didnt know what was wrong. He got it at an estate sale and didnt want to fix it. I said well i can and ill take it. Flashed it and all good but the screen had a crack in the corner so i figured well worth it to fix it and have a tilt for under $100.

Hey, thanks! i havent even thought about looking for one of these lol, i guess i was planning on just unscrewing the whole thing till i eventually got the new screen in
The new screen came in yesterday, put the screen in flawlessly, one thing i noticed, the new screen has a light, mattish coating on the screen while my stock screen is glossy.
Anyways, thanks for the link, my tilt is back now!
matte screen
I ordred one too and though it would be glossy like the original. Onces it is powered on does the screen look as sharp as before or notice any diffrence?
Thanks
Its as sharp as before, it just takes a bit to get used to the new coating because when uve been used to the old glossy screen and switch to a matte screen it definitely looks a lil blurry, but it isnt.
ok good
Ok good deal. And by the way i am gona try that Android soon hahaha soon as i get brave enough

nice find, i dont have that kind of luck
Ah-Ha! i figured out what was different! I contacted yallstore support when the lcd had a little bubble in the upper right hand corner, and i asked if there was a plastic covering on it, and there was! I pulled off the covering and it looks exactly like the original! Its glossy, and its just awesome now! I didnt think there was a covering on when i first installed it because it was just so perfect! And its not a little blurry anymore!
Ok lol i emailed them to about it this afternoon and have not heard back yet but cool thats good news i feel better now.
Got the screen today and installed 10 minutes and all good.
Thanks for the links and the info for sure
bump for the recent broke screen posts.

I stopped in my local Gamestop yesterday to pickup Madden 13 and ended up leaving with a Nexus 7 too lol. Ill be giving this one to my gf but I just wanted to post a few pics of some things that may be slightly different about the C80 production runs. I didnt do a complete teardown of the unit so I cant say if any changes have been made to combat the over exaggerated screen lift stuff but I have noticed a few small changes. I honestly dont think anything has really changed in terms of manufacturing but these units had just came in yesterday morning so im assuming it was a fresh batch.
First up is the box. Im not sure when they made this change but my C70 didnt have the notches on the box for easy opening. I remember kinda having a hard time separating the box when I first got my C70.

Second thing I noticed was the C80 units have a few screws missing. Im not sure if this is something they just started doing, but I exchanged three C80 units at Gamestop yesterday because me and the manager thought it was a flaw but all 3 random units had the two missing screws.
Here are a few shots of the back cover and unit. Im not sure if anything is different but maybe someone whos more familiar with the insides may notice something.
I did noticed the serial # on the rear sticker is now printed in white as opposed to black:
They probably realized all those screws put too much pressure & therefore causing lift.

Yeah I figured they did it for a reason. Hopefully we can a confirmation on this so I can know if my units are in fact missing screws.
My C80 should be at my doorstep within a couple hours. Having accidentally cracked the screen on my C60 while trying to fix the screen lift, I hope this is is void of issues.

Nice! Please keep us updated on your C80 findings. My C60 cracked randomly the other day (sent an email from it, walked to my car, looked down, cracked) and I sent it in to ASUS. Part of me wonders if the C80's are fixed enough to prevent this from happening to anybody else.

Yeah man, for sure. First thing I do after opening it will be sharing what I find with everyone. And I can 100% sympathize with a cracked screen haha, its an awful feeling that you have to eat the $200-250 and get a new one :/
I removed those 2 screws on my C70 just now If the reason is in fact to reduce the stress on the screen to reduce cracking, then maybe it's recommended C60 and C70 owners to do this too?
Hi!!!
Sorry my english is so bad...
I have just opened my tablet, it is the C80 version too. And there are missing the same screws as in your tablet.

Sweet! So I guess this was something done on purpose. I'll see if I can get a official word from Asus regarding this. It would be kinda funny if all the people returning earlier built tablets because of missing screws found out it was done like that intentionally lol.
I also have removed those screws on my C6O. The screen is not lifted now, and when i put pressure on the opposite corners of tablet, i don`t hear crackling.
I hope it will be pernament fix of this problem.

Wow this is interesting. Gonna remove those screws from mine too.
Alright, so I just got mine in the mail (my second purchase) and I was VERY disappointed at first. I received a C60...... WTF? So I open it up and the screen is flush, not lower than bezel, flush.... all around. ZERO screen flicker, ZERO light bleed, very responsive, colors are correct, no dead pixels, speakers work, some ghosting on max brightness, but that is to be expected of IPS screens. Now I need to get it super hot and see if the screen stays. If there is anything I missed I will post it. Oh, and it also looks like my box had been re-used because there was a second layer of tape on the black box. Was mine refurbished? Who cares, so far so good.

My last replacement was a C70 and had the screws removed.
can someone with a c08 model take a better pic of the back cover off? theres two clips on the left side that goes over where the screen data ribbon is and just wanted to know if they change those at all. this point is where a lot of people get screen lift.
Alright, let me start off by saying I don't think it's an ordinary crack. I was walking down the street when I tripped and my phone landed on grass and dirt. I thought to myself "Woah, that was lucky, at least it wasn't the cement." I pick it up to find a hairline crack running almost completelty veritcal up and down the screen. (I attached the picture below). So now I'm wondering what are my options. Could I go through insurance? Should I just wait it out?

Sorry man.... you might have to use your insurance.
Best thing you can do is take it to a sprint store and try to talk them into giving you a new one if not.
The crack looks weird, but at first glance I would say there was something it hit in the center that caused it to crack so badly... but then again you could fight it both ways in saying the glass was too tightly compressed?

IF you wait, use a screen protector to avoid more cracks and the screen from breaking to pieces.

For future reference, how well does a screen protector actually protect against fall damage? I'ms usually pro case and anti screen protector (when i dropped it though, I had neither)

Ive actually dropped my past phones on corners of the table and they didnt crack as easy because the film keeps the glass together to help the glass stay in one piece and spreads the impact. Where as without one your screen is more prone to crack easier

Yeah I'm not too sure what that is all about. The lady said that they would call back within 24 hours to give instructions. Some type of written approval? I don't know, I was really confused by what she meant. She said because the phone is so new, they're taking extra pre-cautions.
Alright so just a quick update. It took about a week but I finally received a replacement One. It looked new in box with all the accessories which I was surprised about. So yay.

Thanks for the update.
I've had to fill out the form before. Twice, exactly. At least they don't ask for a police report when you lose it.
Though you had a cracked screen.
This time around, remember to place a cover on it, if not at least a screen protector.
Enjoy the One.
wow, that sucks.
i guess i cant put any faith into gorilla glass 2.0 or whatever it is now.

Because the phone is so new they dont have refurbs yet. So if you go through insurance you will probably get a new 1 until they have refurbs.

Now that you've owned the device for a few months, is the aluminium back full of scratches?
I am thinking of going naked, but haven't got the courage to do it. I don't drop my phones, so it's just scratches I'm concerned about.
And no, I don't want to install wet-application skins like Best Skins Ever, Zagg, etc. The reason being the One has gaps on the back where the white plastic lines are. I know they advertise Zero Gap, but it's not water-proof. The phone might be fine after the installation but who knows if the liquid indicator has turned pink inside.

Whoa! No clue what you've done, but I've had mine for over a month, never in a case and it still looks new. I'm actually impressed!

Yeah me too! I ordered that HTC red and grey case but its on back order. Ive had my phone for about a month now and have had a few light drops down my bedside, and have put it in my pockets pocket's with keys on accidents and honestly, I am very very impressed.
Oh yeah! I just remembered it fell out of my pocket in the car and slid under the seat, twice. I thought for sure I would see some damage but not a chance!
I do however have the slightest stratch that you can see if held in the very right light. I also have a tiny tiny blemish. I'll post pictures for you.
I have intentionally not babied my phone and I must say I'm impressed.
Pictures to come.

Whoa! No clue what you've done, but I've had mine for over a month, never in a case and it still looks new. I'm actually impressed!
Like all things, if you take care of your products it will last a long time, if you're careless, of course you will see scratches and so forth.

it fell off my pocket and landed on my concrete driveway from 2 feet..i was cleaning the rims of my car
Dropped mine on a concrete floor face flat down from about a bit higher than knee height. Only got a very small dent on the chamfer.
My black One looks the same after a month. If I clean it a little bit it already looks like it comes right out the box.

Ah, yeah I can sympathize. Concrete is brutal for phones, I was sitting on the ground at my work outside and my old galaxy s3 fell a half a foot from my lap to the concrete and the screen cracked.

Had mine since it was released, was using the double dip flip case. Some bits got under the plastic holster and there are 5 small black marks on the back.

It still looks like brand new!
Mine has some minor scuff marks on the aluminium from 2 drops from 1 meter onto stone slabs, and one drop from table onto a wooden floor. It's a slippery phone so I should have it in a case, but it looks far too good for any case.
Someone handed me an HTC One the other day at an outdoor barbecue.
After awhile I realized what they we trying to politely tell me as they were handing it to me.
It was mine.
No idea how it slipped out of my pocket.
No idea what orientation it was in when they found it lying in the ground.
All I know is after closely inspecting it for a few minutes I finally located a small blemish on the bottom right rear corner. It took quite a while to find it in very good light. No internal damage that I can tell.
And I'm *still* never going to put a case on this thing. It's like a jewel. It gives me pleasure every time I pick it up.
If I destroy it in two months, it will have given me $650 in pleasure just from holding it. If I had it in a case it could never give me a penny's worth of tactile gratification no matter how long I used it.

+1. I completely love the look and feel of this phone. A case is just sacrilege.

Ive had my HTC One for a month or so now and i use a the official HTC flip case and screen protectors and all i can say its worth doing. I learnt my lesson from my previous phones that i didn't think of putting a case on and they look like crap now. so the first thing i do is buy a case and screen protectors plus im not the most careful of people so this just adds peace of mind.
As careful as I am, I still end up dropping the phone now and then. Usually a very small drop, but still something I grimace at.
I've had this phone since the middle of May; not a long time. As time goes on, I will care less and less about the micro scratches that would inevitably happen when using the phone naked. At the moment, however, I'm still admiring how sexy the Black is. At the moment, I'm still hesitant to use it out of it's case.
Maybe after a year I will be ready.

Mine still mint, more or less... my son knocked it off an end table IN A CASE and the case knicked the top and bottom slightly on the edge. Go figure........
Now I only use a case at work because it slides on its back on my desk and that will wreck havoc on the back of the phone with scratches.

If there is a clear skin I can put on the back that fits exactly, I would consider going naked.
I noticed two scratches on the top speaker cover today. They're from my case

Its been about 2 months now for me and it's never seen a case or screen protector. I, like many others here, think it would be shame to cover up this phone and I can't stand the way screen protectors feel and collect dirt/scratches like immediately.
Absolutely no damage on mine, not even on the chamfers. I've dropped it 3 or so times, once on hardwood, never on concrete fortunately From the various posts I've read on XDA the consensus seems to be that it's a very robust phone with a lot of people dropping it without damage.
When I get paid from my new job I'm gonna take off this cheap light rubberised case and get a UAG case and a Steinheil screen protector, I've seen countless story's on xda with people who didn't have protection on their phone dropped it and it smashed it's just not worth the risk after paying all that money.
My two cents anyway.

I got mine by the end of April. Never had a case on it and I'm in love how it feels at touch. I'm always very careful with this beauty but this morning the alarm rang and I think you already know what happened. :crying: it has a small crack on the right corner crossing the home button all the way to the right edge. I was always against cases other protective covers for this device but now I feel so sorry.
suggestion: if you still have your phone intact just by a freaking insurance or ..a case.
This really stinks a 2ft drop to ceramic tile flooring and it must have hit just right. I have never broken a phone yet and now my week and a half phone is damaged. The funny thing is my case is coming in the mail today! I'm not blaming the phone, just my bad luck!!

Did you buy it with a credit card? If so you may be able to make a claim.
No, best buy gift card. At least I got the $200 off at purchase. I have the AT&T insurance so it will be like I paid full price. Lol!

I would blame your phone, my 2 week old Galaxy Note 4 has a nice big scratch down it despite not being put near anything significant (like a set of keys in my pocket,etc). Hardly very scratch resistant so i imagine not drop resistant either in real life situations. They should try and find a better material than Gorilla glass.
I wonder if this screen is replaceable? just the front bit of course, which seems like what you need as well.
Ouch!!!
With every new Samsung flagship here at XDA there always seems to be that ONE unlucky guy who manages to break their display within the month of release, same happened early last year with the S4 I remember, the thread is still going last I checked.
I'd be so gutted, even though I have insurance, I'd be just so done. The good thing is that Samsung do a thorough job with repairs. My S4 had a display issue, took it to Samsung, got fixed in a day and came with a whole new front panel fitted, phone looked brand spanking new.
Sucks to hear... I am glad they opened a Samsung repair center about a 30 minute drive from where I live for times like this...

There is a much more scratch resistant material, in fact impossible to scratch with anything softer than a diamond. Its called sapphire crystal, and my watch has it. Its a truly amazing material, but apparently too expensive to make a 5.7in screen from it.

If you are going to go this route, make sure you opt for the high quality OEM glass. Its usually around 10 bucks and many hong kong sellers have it. You can tell because it usually has a red tag on it in the pictures. Stay away from 3 dollar glass. It will just break very easily and waste all of your hard work.
its hurt to see a falling Note4 <3 best of luck next time mate
