Sup every1, I just dropped my phone for the first time, about 4 feet perfectly face down on the screen on my linoleum kitchen floor. Everything seems to be working normal, but I worry and XDA has this way of making me feel better when **** happens with my phone. Please tell me everything is going to be ok.

I saw a video a few months back someone had posted here. It was a video where they wanted to see how tough this phone was. They dropped in a pitcher of water, threw it out of a moving rv's window twice, barbecued it & then put it in a bag of rice for a week. Although it was scratched up pretty good, it worked fine. I know it made me feel confident about the build quality of this phone.

yeah but after slipping into a pool, it makes me frightened to get the phone anywhere near water (had to get it replaced.)
She's tough! I sat mine down on my truck bumper to hook up a trailer that was loaded with a tractor, so a few tons of weight. Got in my truck pulled forward and realised I didn't have my phone. When I got out it was under the tire of the trailer, so I pulled forward and picked her up. Guess what she still works like a champ!

I'm guessing you at least had some screen damage? Either way, that's a pretty nice setup for the Napoleon Dynamite test.
Yeah I had some deep gouges in the screen but that's it. It was laying face down so the tires only pressed on the back! I was amazed because I actually did the same thing with my evo and it destroyed it!

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 =/

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.
Hey guys, today at work I discovered something with my nexus 7 I'll do a video maybe later
The thing I discovered is : under the right top corner and a bit on top of the left bottom corner there are 2 magnets sensors and when you put 2 magnets on those the screen will turn off, and if you put them down it will turn on by itself
I have 2 magnets on my case for the n7 that I bought on eBay and I just discovered them

Not everybody can know everything... I didn't know about the magnet feature until a couple of months ago. It's not exactly highlighted as a major selling point by Google/Asus.
I only recently discovered, that by LONG-PRESSING the back button whilst in the AOSP browser in the ROM I'm currently running, it brings up the BOOKMARKS/HISTORY screen... this isn't documented anywhere, as far as I know.
So it's to martinko23's credit, that he/she has taken the ribbing with good grace and humour... and I'd rather info (even blindingly obvious info - for some), be made known... for those who don't know.

Hey everyone,
I don't know how you usually hold your mobile phones but when I'm using it with one hand I tend to support the weight with my fingers at the back and keep my pinkie at the bottom...
Due to complaints about the speaker position on the Z, Sony have now moved the speaker to the bottom of the device, which is okay (except when you are playing a landscape game with both hands on device, lol).
But the main problem is that the speaker grill is not flush with the frame, leaving the rough aluminum edges exposed. My pinkie is suffering, lol. I reckon I can cut cheese with this thing!
Has anyone else noticed? Is your speaker grill in line with the frame? How do you hold your phone with one hand?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
yup. this has been bothering me too. i'm having to adjust my holding habits and putting my pinkies on either corner to not make them sore.
on a similar note i'm having to re-adjust my holding position when playing a game or something in landscape. as one of my hands usually cover the speaker muffling the sound
Here's a picture of the killer edge. It's even shaped like a knife!

Lol, I'm obviously making it sound a bit more extreme that what it is, but it's definitely uncomfortable, I felt it was sharp at first but kept using it and after a while my pinkie started to feel numb and I could see the mark where the phone was sitting.

Keep in mind that the Z1 is also a little bit heavier than the Z...

Exactly the same here!
Yep, those edges are quite sharp as well, but perhaps they are like that to help the magnetic charger clip on...
But I wish they had done the speaker grill flush with the frame =( like Google Nexus One had above the screen! Nice and smooth so it didn't hurt the users' ears!
I'm curious to know how you hold it though, do you grab it from the sides without supporting it from the bottom?

I usually hold it kinda like this but on my right hand and one of the fingers is exactly mapped on the magnetic charging port. I still can't see how you hate the bottom maybe yours isn't softened enough

I kinda got used to it by now, it's not like I've got a choice anyway unless I was to get another phone... But I've gotta say that coming from the XZ that bottom edge definitely feels a lot less comfortable, the way I hold it anyway.
I think it should be a rule for any aluminum phones that it's edges are sharpened out. It's on my wishlist for Z2 =)

Mine did. Had it in my back pocket (stupid, I know, but I'm used to sticking my devices there), and next thing I knew, I had a bent n5 with backlight bleed galore. Seems this is a common problem with the iPhone, but unfortunately I expect to see more n5 users fall into my boat, as I was even being relatively careful to not put excessive weight on it while sitting (and I only weigh 160lb). Save yourself headaches and break any habits you have of putting things in your rear pockets now. :'(

No idea why someone would put their phone in their back pockets in the first place, to be honest. Seems common sense not to do that.

Your everyday carry can get out of hand fast.
5 inch phone, wallet, keys, pen,headphones, knife,flashlight Some of us may carry guns depending on the country, license status , or occupation. You can hit the need for a "man purse/satchel" very quickly. Sometimes your pants have bigger back pockets so that's where it ends up.

Every time I see someone stick their phone in their back pocket, I give them a bewildered look. Then they ask me why I'm looking at them like that, and I reply, "You actually keep your phone in your back pocket? How can you stand that?"
Goodness gracious, that has to be a chore to sit on, and I've seen a many stories where phones have been broken by being sat on.

Back in the day, I used to carry my personal Cell Phone on my hip in a case along with my pager for my work and my Palm Pre PDA. I looked like a real Techno Geek for sure. These days, I carry my work phone on my hip only. My PDA and my cell are now one and I carry that in my front pocket. Heck...I get nervous when I bend forward to tie my shoes. But...I live in Canada eh? and carry my cell in my jacket pocket or shirt pocket most of the time now. I've very aware of it at all times as I do not want an accident to happen. Putting it in my back pocket and sitting on it makes me twitch just thinking of it!
Yeah, I never understood the reasoning behind putting a phone in your back pocket. I was always amazed to see someone pull a phone out of their back pocket and see it still turn on.
Something I'd never do though. If needs be I'll just carry a bag, TBH.

Has anybody else experience any slight warping or denting on the back of the phone? My fiancé has an X and is careful with it and it also has a case. I was messing with the phone and removed the case the other day and noticed that there seemed to be slight warping on the back. My Razr M has a similar warping on it. Not sure if it's the battery heat or what. It's minor but I was just curious. I'll be upgrading to the X shortly.

I don't know about the M, but the X has a slightly curved back - it's not supposed to be flat - and an indent under the "M"

And what about that flat, slippery glass part on the front? Is that normal too? The form design of the device is obviously not what I'm referring to.

Not me, I've owned 2 and mine never got too hot. even during voice calls, video calls or video viewing. Also I would've said the same as the above user. Being that xda is open to anyone and everyone, you should never assume people KNOW things.
Anyway, better warranty that badboy fast.

I couldn't quite tell if he was being sarcastic, which is why I shot him a "Thanks". She is still under warranty since she only got it a little over a month ago so I'll shoot her the feedback I get here. I've attached two pictures. The original and then an edited photo highlighting the area in question. It's very slight and hard to see, but if I move my fingers over the upper left area on the back I can feel what I can only describe as a dent or slight warping. The right side in the same area feels smooth to the touch. There seems to be a speaker on the right side. Not sure if the two sides are slightly different because of this or not.

Hmmm, does the bump cause anything to malfunction? My thought is if it's not outright noticeable to you a warranty center could possibly overlook it. My fear here is that you send it back and they tell you they didn't notice anything. Anyway, I think you got what you needed.
I hope she gets her phone fixed!

Yeah she's experiencing absolutely no malfunction. She's loving the device. I've known I wanted an X the moment it was released so hopefully I can grab mine in the near future. I have no doubt that it would be highly possible for them to not notice anything if she sent it back. It's just my nitpicking and curiosity that let me to post the question here.

I wasn't being sarcastic, just eliminating the obvious first. Like the other guy said, never assume someone knows something.
I haven't seen that on an X before, but my experience with battery warping has been closer to the center of the device/battery rather than on one side or a corner. Not sure what would cause that, but I'm not terribly familiar with what's located where under the back this phone. There's got to be a teardown somewhere, though.
Oh, and not to nitpick, but "he" is a "she."

Ahh! Your avatar being upside down is my excuse. And thanks to both of you for the feedback!
