[Q] To all people who have naked One, how does it look now?

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!
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.

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

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
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

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.

well, three months ago I used sony stock based rom(semc camera) and now I use CM11(but has some sony technology - check FXP225 athttps://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/progress), furthermore I'm getting result like this with sony stock rom camera app these days anyway.
another comparison, this time with HD2.
and again, same conditions.
xperia V
HD2
and finally a shot of lens of my xperia v (shot with HD2)
I really need to fix it before 12/27(UTC+9).. because I have a flight to japan that day and purpose of going is to travel.. and I really want to take pictures with my xperia v.. due to the fact that I don't have a better camera than it..
I ordered my one from HK, because sony is not selling xperia devices in my country.. so I can't get sony c/s and have to fix it my self and I don't think FedEx economy will deliver the ordered part by than.. and UPS Express(?) costs almost 99euros..
well I read what I wrote and it's just like a long line of complaining
but any way I wanna ask you guys if there are some one else is having similar lens damage like me or is it just happening me?
and it would be grateful if some one tells me a solution of this situation

That looks really badly scratched. How did it happen?

have you tried glasses/lens cleaning solution? Spray a little bit and wipe the lens with a cloth. I'm not sure if it'll do much though.

The close up is not good enough to see damage details.

used glass towel with glass cleaner(blue liquid) and blur disappeared!
until now I only used glass towel.. but I can't fiqure out why the lens got stained..;
but..
but of course scratches and some sort of exfoliation of coating(?) is still there..
it's not affecting the image quality(at least for now, I think..) but it's a proof of the fact that xperia V's lens is easy to get scratched ;(
any way ordered middle housing, which contains rear camera lens, apparently lens is not sold stand alone.
ordered black one to make mixture of white model and black model, white back cover with black middle hoop and shiny chrome(?) port covers!
and thanks for advise!

Good to hear!
Consider not using a regular glass / window cleaner on coated glass. It may contain tensides / ammoniac which some coating don't like. What you need is a liquid designed for optical glass, or methyl alcohol, and a microfibre. Remove dust and other particles with a brush or by blowing before cleaning. Don't dry-clean optical glass. At least breath on it first and then use the microfibre. If there are still smudges use a drop of the methyl alcohol on the microfibre.

until now i used typical ones to clean lenses.. thanks for useful information!
taking care of lenses is harder than I thought..
hope new lens I ordered keep good condition.

Flash Bleed on normal Z1 !

I just used my Xperia Z1 for taking photos and i realised it has flash bleed!
Im not using any case or bumper.
Is this normal?! Can anyone take a picture at night with flash light on and post it here so we can have a reference ?
I thought this was only a Z1C issue !?
Sony... ffs.
Image attached, shot at night with Manual Mode.

Do you have a back protective film on your Z1?
I've heard that sticking a protective film on the back of the Z1 causes this issue
Sent from my C6906 using Tapatalk

Wow i really forgot that.
Yes i do, It doesnt cover the LED or the camera though. - i will peel it off and report again soon.
Is there any Protective Film that doesnt cause this issue ? Some Sort of Tempered Glass?

This is my flash bleed.
I do have a case.
Only happens at a certain scene or angle
Never had that on 4.3 with the case
but maybe i just didn't notice it before.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Happened to me before, sine I have a back protective film.
Check the gap between your camera and flash, if the protective film is there then just cut it out (what I did with mine), then your bleed should go away.
Everytime that you put something in between the camera and the flas whether its film or case,then you'll get the bleed.I think the light crawls underneath it causing it.
Try it then let us know!
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

had on my Z1 before, it is either the problem of case or back screen protector(mine didn't cover the camera or flash too), after i removed the back screen protector, i never got the flash bleed problem anymore, i used the baseus flip case before, and it caused me flash bleed, now i am using normal case and camera work perfectly , it is certainly not hardware problem like Z1s.

I've noticed this with white xperia z1.
It doesn't happen on the black ones.
Ok the whites, the light reflects over the white glass at the back to expose the bottom of the camera lens.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Did you saw the flash of Z2? It's more distanced from the lens. Weird, right? Why correct the phone structure when it supposed to make amazing pictures. Maybe I know why! The flash is too close to the lens on Z1. Now we have to pay attention an every detail or settings to make the pictures right.

Bro, It happened to me too on my Z1 & (FIXED)
what caused the flash bleed?... well, It's definitely the back screen protector that i applied because It doesn't have a camera and flash cut out, so they are covered.
The pics below shows the flash bleeding in some shots and the others after I peeled off the back screen protector. All the pics were taken in a dark places.
All were taken using manual mode @ 20mp with two Flash types: Auto Flash & Flash fill
1- Flash Auto (with back screen protector on)
2- Flash Auto (back screen protector peeled off)
3- Flash Auto (with back screen protector on)
4- Flash Auto (back screen protector peeled off)
5- Flash Auto (with back screen protector on)
6- Flash Auto (back screen protector peeled off)
7- Flash fill (with back screen protector on)
8- Flash fill (back screen protector peeled off)
9- Flash fill (with back screen protector on)
10- Flash fill (back screen protector peeled off)

This is my flash bleed. Even outside at night is worse.

All Sony phones have this... At least the ones I know of. I don't trust Sony when it comes to camera in phones anymore

oh guys...!!! i just put my guitar on the bed and the z1 was on the pillow ! the impact was totally nothing..less than one cm ... no doubt on that..
it was not a impact that makes the screen like it..
considering that there is no anti shatter film ( which there is one ! ) the gorilla glass 3 should break out this easy???!!!

i'm shocking because of that! i dont know. maybe there are some weak points or that was quite a bad bad bad luck
but i think a screen guard ( which i removed 3days ago) could protect it a little bit better.maybe It wouldn't break if the screen guard was installed.by the way , I was expecting the touch to stand working but now my z1 is useless totally! keeps yours safe and try using a front covered case.

man the problem is money ! in Iran these parts are totally expensive (about 250 US$) just for screen!which 1$ is 3000Tomans and i just earn 600,000Tomans each month
but thanks for noticing. I may one day try to replace it by my own!

It's just bad luck m8, I feel for you but the fact of the matter is the devices now cracked and it'd be impossible to convince Sony or your provider of how it happened and to get a sympathetic ear, looks to me like you'll have to either fix it yourself or claim on insurance.
Did you insure it? How old is it if not? You may be able to add insurance on from your provider, I know EE in the UK offer this service at any time.

It's actually Dragontrail glass. But both Gorilla and Dragontrail are NOT unbreakable: they are harder, so they are less likely to scratch, but that makes them more prone to break. Diamonds, for example, are the hardest material known; but they break/chip very easily. Our phones are like that, if there's a light impact on the wrong angle the screen will shatter easily.

The Z1 scratches quite easily. My S4 remained pristine after over a year of use, so did my Galaxy Note. This scratched within a month and continues to get minor scratches over time.

I hear you with the scratches, i've had cases on my phone since day one and there are scratches on the back of the phone, it's never been without a case and i take very good care of my devices, the front and back now have Zagg shields on them so they're ok now but yea it does scratch very easily, especially the back.

Its breakable anyhow.
It's quite breakable as far as i noticed, and also scratcahble All tested and failed..

That can be only coincidence. Have you ever noticed or heard that it's getting scracthed while all protecters on ?
Wonder why they produce so expensive mobiles that breaks so easly... I think we are the lazy consumers who don't search enough

It's all about luck chaps, i've dropped a phone from the top of a cupboard which is around 9 feet up onto slate, one single dent nothing else and yet i've seen someone drop the same phone from less than 2 feet and the whole screen has smashed ? Not worth trying to figure out, once that phones in free fall it's simply a case of luck.
Oh i forgot, we also threw a 9320 blackberry down some stairs, concrete covered with lino, around 50 steps. Some bumps and bruises but no cracks

In my phone too

by the way since i dont have enough money to buy a new phone ( z1 or z2 or any other new phones) I decided to repair it :laugh: and planning for the z3 . beacuase in Iran there is no insurance for phones ( just for HTC ) and no warranty and even if I had the bootloader is unlocked so its voided . the only concern here is for replacement cares. most of repairers dont care enough so you will see the repair marks on body.
one question , the new lcd even the original one (which i want to use) has the same quality ? does it fit on body completely? the colors? every thing is the same?

I think so

Cracked Screen

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!!

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.

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!! View attachment 2987626

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
