What kind of abuse can your one V take? :) - HTC One V

Mine seems pretty indestructable. Can't even count how many times I've dropped it. Ha. Today I was fishing and dropped it in mud and water. It filled up the USB. Hahaha didn't even flinch. Cleaned it up good to go. No case and no screen protector. Only one minor hairline scratch on the screen. What do you guys put it through?

Same here. :good:

Mine got ripped out of my pocket when my headphones got tangled, and fell on a concrete foot path, and into a small puddle. It got a few tiny scratches around the edges, but other than that its completely fine. I just coloured in the scratches with a black marker, and it looks brand new!

well sold my one v but it was as shiny as new (except a scratch on the back)
Fell from my hands 4 to 5 times (no case)
:good:

Back in April after I rooted it, I was flashing something while walking on a concrete sidewalk (because I'm an idiot), and it fell out of my hands and cracked... but it still works really well!

I think that mine is magical. Sometimes in a rush I stick it into my pocket along with my keys and it gets a few scratches on the metal housing, but they quickly disappear. I'm guessing the marks are from the keys themselves getting worn instead of my the phone getting scratched

mines been in a cheap silicone/plastic case and the screen under a zagg screen protector since fresh out the box, its still perfect

Don't remember how exactly, but water got into the phone and screen once. It dried out and revived after I dumped it into a tub of rice and left it there overnight.
Also, dropped it countless times and there are numerous scratches on the back of the phone. There are still signs of water damage on the LCD, but it's still going strong like a champ. One V ftw! :laugh:

dropped it a handful of times. still working though.

As you do I was in the bath watching django on mxplayer and I dropped it in the bath :0 turned it off and left it to dry for an hour and bam I'm back watching django, and it still resumed from where I was watching

Luckily I had in in an Otterbox case at the time; but a girl threw me in a pool at a party with it. It took a couple of seconds to get out of my jeans and then she couldn't get it out of the case - but once thrown in rice it never had any problems. That was about a year ago. Also, been dropped a few time lol :laugh:

Fell a lot but no baths till now
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
My HOV fell a lot evident from its multiple scratches on its back
But no bath till now hopefully till end:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Dropped from my pocket when I was kneeling, it dropped onto carpet.****ing broke the edge of the screen.It's like 1/4 of the screen.

Happened of course by mistake, i don't recommend anyone to try it on purpose unless you have unlimited budget or are addicted to adrenalin rushes...
i ****ing froze when i felt it slip out of my hand and took an eternity to hit the concrete floor with a dull *whack*....it just layed there, the white backcover, the HTC logo laughing back at me kind of saying "idiot, pick me up, turn me over and stare at the cracked screen"

I flashed a rom for the quad-core GSIII :crying: I have no friggin' idea how I misseD that, but I hard bricked my device. Went to Radioshack around noon today, just got a call back saying I could come in and pick up my shiny new GSIII

So how resilient is the One X? Place bets... NOW

I use my phones when running to time and track them, pretty common.
Tonight, half way through my run an epic downpour of flash flood creating proportions occurred drenching me in seconds, whilst the One X was attached to me in a neoprene arm band. There was pretty much zero useful cover
I hid in a large bush to take the worst of it and powered the phone off. The rain never stopped (although it was much less absurd), so I had to finish the remaining 3-odd miles in it, trying to shield the phone from the rest of the rain.
It's now in a bag full of rice (brown, one of it's five a day) on a radiator. Fingers crossed I'm just paranoid and it will power up just fine tomorrow.
If it's perfect unit without gaps and stuff like that, i guess it will be fine .
Hmm.. horrible story, no pocket, roof... nothing to hide? .
I would leave it with the face down and keep my fingers crossed it will function again.
Good luck with it!

I think your chances are quite good mate. The unibody and speaker design make it almost water resistant.

Well the problem with one x is the micro usb and headphones that will allow water to seep through. however as you switch off your phone before its fully wet and do not switch it on again until its fully dried, the chances of getting everything to work will be very-very good.
I got soaked to the skin in our beautiful British weather way back in June, an absolute torrential downpour. I was out all day walking, weather was sunny for most of the day so it was a pair of shorts and a shirt and that was it. Walked about two miles in said downpour to train station, I couldn't have been any wetter if I'd jumped in the sea fully clothed. I shielded my hox as best I could just with my hand. Dried it with some paper towels when I got to the station and have never had a problem since, I doubt you'll have any problems.

Yeah that was my plan, getting it powered down as soon as possible should mitigate things.
When taking the phone out of the armband (foamy neoprene, so that should have kept the worst at bay) it was a bit streaky on the surface as you'd expect, but wasn't dripping, so it was towelled (carefully, didn't want to hit the power button) and bagged.
It's been in the rice bag for about 13½ hours now and will stay there 'til this evening (as I am at work now). In the meantime, it's strange not having something with notifications going off all the time, hell I haven't even bothered with a spare phone today... silence is golden
Unibody is a good thing in cases like this, the rear speaker is pretty well sealed, and I don't have any (noticeable) gaps around the screen.
my HOX has fallen on to our wooden floor on 6 or 7 occasions, apart from one tiny tiny svcratch on the screen, this phone has no other blemishes. Quality build!!!!
Crazy downpour 0:1 HTC One X
It has less to do with the phone's design and more to do that regular water just isn't a great conductor. I've pretty much soaked every phone I've had in the last 10 years and never had one fail.
Dropped mine in sink of water months ago. It freaked for a bit resetting itself drained all its battery and wouldn't stay off or charge properly but after a few hours of drying whilst rebooting it was fine. Water marks behind screen cleared after a few days.
Then it was knocked off a table from 4 foot height onto stone floor. Screen shattered. The major weakness of this phone is the protruding screen edges. Glass shatters easier from the edges.

Unfortunately a bigger screen is more prone to breaks, and gorilla glass2 is only hard; meaning its hard to scratch, but it's still glass and will not flex.

there are plenty of cases that do not add much bulk to the phone..technically speaking, all you really need is a raised edge on the bumper around the screen. During a fall, as long as its not your screen corners that take the hit (Let the case absorb the impact), you should be fine. If you are holding back on getting a great phone just because it breaks when you drop it, then...oh well..

Im with you. I have dropped mine a few times from different hights, onto different surfaces (tile, carpet, concrete) no damage. Worst that happened was battery cover came half off. Only thing I have on is the flip case from samsung.
Most of the falls were from sitting pocket height, but one or two on tile were from pocket height while standing.
Brace yourselves
Here is my brother's note. Dropped out of his jacked pocket while getting out of his car.

RAZR M Durability Stories

Hows your M been holding up over the coarse of your experience?
Only a few scuffs on the bezel here, but I use a medium strength case when out and about
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
So far, so good. No case, and I've had it about a month. No scratches, scuffs, or anything.
Mine developed a pretty nasty scratch on the screen--how, I don't know. I can feel it with my fingertip too, which is quite annoying.
I've had mine about 6 months or so, and I've been using it without any case or screen protector. Dropped it many times, even on concrete. Just few scratches on bezel. Nothing on the screen.
Had mine close to a year now. Bought a case, rarely use it. Dropped it hard on icy cement from a standing position. Which an iPad user found hilarious mimicking the "Droid" startup sound immediately. Picked up the phone, worried, looked at it and it virtually smiled at me. Not a scratch anywhere. Not on the back, not on the screen, and none on the corners.

I have a case but rarely use it since it makes it feel bulky in my pocket. I have dropped it many times and really the only scratches on the bezel are there because I keep my phone in the same pocket as my keys.
No case, but I do have a screen protector. had first drop today off desk and onto one of the legs of my chair, but the cracking sound I heard seemed to be the chair. Phone came out unharmed
I have a barely there case along with generic screen saver and mine looks like the day I got it (not a single scratch or blemish). I have dropped it about 10 times and NOTHING. bought mine used btw and it was flawless when I received it. By far the most durable phone I've had so far. Motorola phones in general seem well built.

Dropped onto foot then kicked across uneven concrete sidewalk, leading to small scuffs on back bezel corners. Once smacked it into the rim of a glass, causing a small dent in the bezel. Other than that it's been good.

Yeah, I accidentally knocked mine into the bathroom sink full of water.The micr-sd card was already on its last legs and the water finished it off. And the external speaker wasn't as loud as normal for about a day and a half until it completely dried out. But it works fine now and the sd card was replaced by sandisk's warranty.
I've dropped mine an innumerable number of times on concrete with no damage to usability. My OCD hates the scratches on the bevel, but nothing on the screen or elsewhere. The worst I've had is the bottom part of the case came loose one time when I really, really hit it hard on the ground. Still going fine...
Dropped mine taking out of my pocket, cracked the back glass thing. Then dropped in water sink for a sec accidentally, phone wouldn't work for about a day, now it's fine though. Just not waterproof anymore

Some time back I was driving a 1994 Cadillac, disgusted with how my conversation had gone, i threw my Iphone4S on to my dashboard, where it bounced and hit the windshield, and shattered the phone beyond useability.... that's what put me in the market for a new phone.
Grabbed a Razr M, and in short time history repeats itself....threw it against the dash, into the glass....the Razr M spidered the windshield....... happy to know I can replace a windshield in a 2006 Dodge Ram for $155, that still $44 less than the deductible for the Iphone4s.

How about this one? This happened the 1st day I had the phone. I was roofing house and the phone accidently slipped out of my hand. I watched it slide down the roof and disappear over the edge then I heard it hit the concrete walkway 2 stories below. I didn't even bother to look at it or let alone want to go pick up the pieces as I figured it was destroyed. 2 of my workers saw the whole thing happen and kept busting me about killing my new phone in less than a day. A couple minutes later I heard a phone ringing and yelled for someone to answer it. The other 2 guys on the roof with me both responded that it wasn't their phone. It took a while for it to dawn on me that it was my phone I had just dropped ringing on the ground below so I decided to investigate. I climbed down the ladder and was amazed to find the phone in one piece with the screen side up. I picked it up hit the power button and was shocked when the screen turned on and had no cracks. I have no idea how the phone actually impacted the concrete after falling off the roof but the only damage was some scrapes on the bezel. I consider the build quality and design of this phone to be amazing especially compared to a friends S3 which didn't survive a fall from a kitchen counter after being swatted by his cat.
Great story! However, in this one, the cat is the Legend!

So I've finally had an incident the old lady and I we're in the midst of a fight and she throws out there you love your phone more than me so to prove a point I throw it at the wall pretty much as hard as I can and of course it goes to the wall unlike other phones which have shattered into pieces.... thinking the worst I'm like oh well... patch up the hole and forget about it... I get home later that day and she meets me at the door saying that we have mice in the wall... I knew when she said that what it was... I tell her to call my phone and sure enough the rattle in the wall she had been hearing was my phone... I cut it out and nothing but some dry wall on the corner... after a vigorous scrub you can't even tell....
