Horrible screen problem

So last night i was just holding my phone and the screen literally just cracked for no reason. Has this happened to anyone else?

HULK SMASH! lol... Not that I've read. Mines been just fine and I man handle it most of the time. Are you sure it didn't fall?

No i know it didn't fall.. I just don't know why it happened its unsettling to say the least. I haven't had any issues with the phone besides this. Its not like i was squeezing the crap out of it either.

LOL, how the heck were you holding it? This is crazy. BTW, I accidentally thanked you. The post did make me laugh though so maybe you deserve a thanks. Were you playing Homerun Battle, struck out, and broke the phone over your knee?

that sounds way too strange. Was Jack Daniels involved?

Now that's funny. I find myself pressing the screen hard when playing that game. OP, there must have been some sort of hairline crack or something that wasn't visible. Maybe in the black area by softkeys. The glass on these phones is usually pretty tough

I was seriously just holding it. I took it out of my pocket and i went to make a call and the thing just cracked its so bizarre.

Did you have a picture of Chuck Norris in your other hand?

Hopefully you have tep

Did you call yet or take it in? Got a picture? This happened to some OG Nexus phones and it was blamed on keeping the phone in your pockets with tight pants. I guess it could add stress to the screen when you squat or bend certain ways. Like someone else said there had to be hairline crack somewhere. Picture would help to see where it started.

Yeah i have tep. I called all over the place since its screen damage they can't give a new one without the deductible. Its funny that you say that i was in skinny jeans but it broke when i took it out of my pocket. I have the nexus s for t-mobile and it never happened with that. Thank god for tep though..

I know the best place is the "wanting to buy" section, but I know you guys
Is anyone wanting to sell a dinc1 or 2?
Much thanks!

If you want to buy mine for $800, so I can get a nexus, then sure. Otherwise, I'm stuck with my inc2. Hope you find an actual buyer.

sad to hear
Sad to hear about that.
My black DIncII is in mint condition.
Got it back in Oct.
$280. without the data cable.
My wife might let her DInc1 go for $180.
It has a slight sctatch on the glass and the camera cover has asmall crack.
The batery door has a chiped corner but over all it's a clean machine.
I will try to follow this thread but PM me if you think you might want either.
Good luck.

I think you are right. The Bay has em for less than that.
But have you ever tried to pry an Android phone from a wife?
I offered her my Black DIncII. She frowned.
The price was her idea, she told me to sell my DIncII for less then hers.
I guess she just likes what she has.
I already gave her my 6900 for an alarm clock.
I have an old xv6800 that I could part with for cheap or a Razzle that never got out of the box. Was a standby phone for the daughter.
But I think knipp21 needs an Android phone to keep his girl happy.

It can be dropped from 2ft to a carpet floor and get a crack. I've dropped it on tile from about 3 ft and nothing happened. Two stories is outrageous though haha, any case or anything on it?

So apparently the glass on these shatter easy. I keep a commuter series otter box on mine 24/7. Would it help prevent the screen cracking? Maybe cushion it. Or do I need to invent a see thru metal screen protector?

Simply reinforces how useless drop test videos are. It's all luck. I've been very very lucky with dropping my phone myself

I also had one. It was only a foot. But it has deformed a bit near top left corner.

I guess the stairs-carpet helped at some point.. but hey I think we do feel your emotion

Good news for you then. Remember dropping my first mobile a Motorola A835 and these were a size-able beast. I had dropped it down a flight of 12 course concrete steps. It bounced like a ball of 4 of the steps, then, when it hit the bottom, the phone made a sharp left into a hedge while the battery cover made a sharp right down a shallow drain. The phone worked great. It only had a scuff on the edge and scratch on the screen :victory:

Lucky for the carpet I'd say. The phone would have died if you'd done that on concrete stairs like in a car park or something.

yeah, i've dropped mine on accident a couple of times without a scratch.

It's a fact. The screen is indestructible. But not the LCD....

Just a warning guys... The screen can take a hell of a beating, but that doesn't mean the LCD can... Ill post a picture later.
Are LCD's really in the hundreds? Is it worth it?

On e4gt? There some what tough but fragile as an egg compared to the Sgs 1 4.0 display screen. Plus this one scratches easy. My sgs 1 took a year of drop test for real. I tried to break it and could not. I tried this phone from 2 ft and shattered. Was going in for Insurance for water damage so had to try

I've dropped mine several times, and the case and battery always go flying, but overall, the phone is pretty well built. Better than the EVO I had that cracked around the edge in several places and eventually came apart!
