[Humor][Galaxy Nexus Edition] You know you have OCD When

Sorry if its a repost but i was thinking of all the stupid **** i do just to not hurt my Galaxy Nexus... I mean some of the things i do are really exaggerated.
So i came to the conclusion that i have OCD on my cellphone because
First couple of days with my Gnex i was wrapping it in a microfiber cloth before going to sleep making sure there was no exposure what so ever.
Here's a really dumb one. when i was driving with my windows open i made sure my Gnex was cover in case some of the wind had dirt with little rocks that may hit my phone.
Lol!

I treat it like a man.
Some dust got in the speaker vent, I had to use a piece of paper to get it out, annoying.

When you replace your screen protector as soon as it gets a tiny mark on it!

When a tiny scratch on the phone really makes you feel guilty every time you see it

When u constantly wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth throughout the day.

When you flash a new ROM and make sure all icons are in the same place on the screen as they were before.

When you resort of putting the phone into your pocket weird to ensure dust doesn't settle in as much.

When you get a tiny scratch get angry and buy a new phone

My first drop

I forgot my phone was in my lap when I was getting out of the car. I heard it slap the ground and just knew it was bad. I also had no case on it. I took it off earlier in the day to do something and forgot to put it back on. The only consolation is that I was at the mall and I ended up getting a galaxy nexus. I'm still so pissed.

AHahaha that nexus sure looks like an iphone!
But for real...that same thing happened to me. I have the Ballistic SG Case that would protect my SGSII from the apocalypse but one day I decided it was a little too bulky and took it off to feel the true beauty of my phone and not 30 minutes later I got out of my truck at the gas station and saw my beautiful white galaxy slide across the concrete...mine only caught a little nick on the corner thank god but it still hurt none the less. And its funny how as soon as you take it out of its case it decides to fall!

The pic was taken before I got the Nexus. Had to go to the jewelry store before radio shack so she shopped and I took pictures of my phone. I got the insurance this time.

Atleast you were able to get a new one and didnt have to live with a broken screen. Its no GSII but its still nice. Which do you like better?

I am loving the pure Google experience. This this is so smooth. When I got the nexus 7 I wished my phone would work like that. I kind of got my wish, just not how I wanted it. I don't know if I could use android skinned again.

I am just waiting out on a new Nexus phone. Hopefully by then Sprint's LTE has been expanded more. But it hurts me seeing phones being dropped. It's a mini heart attack for me D:

I have always been so careful with my phones. My fiance and cousin both stopped dead in their tracks when they heard my phone hit the ground. I just graduated college last week and I have 3 interviews this week. Of all weeks to have been potentially out of a phone. I am glad I was able to get a new phone. Don't do what I did. Get insurance.

The Nexus is a darn fine phone, but it's slower than the ET4G. Obviously plenty fast enough for most things, but it is slower and that difference will rear it's ugly head time to time.

Well, I must be lucky, I've dropped my phone tens of times, onto ci crete, grass, floors, from all different levels. Actually earlier today ixwa riding my bike and did a kickflup, it fell outta my pocket and I landed the back tired on it, no cracks yet, looks just like new
Glad you got a new phone

Damn that sucks. Has happened to me a few times, except every time it has fallen out of my lap from a moving truck, which sits twice as high as a regular truck/car. I've dented every corner but my screen has luckily remained perfect. I must've gotten the toughest epic touch ever built.

I thought you just shake it and the cracks go away...
Oh wait, that's only on my "Crack Your Screen" app (aka... my iPhone app) :laugh:

I've resisted putting on an Otterbox or Trident case for a while. I don't want to add too much bulk to the phone, and since I've grown a distate for belt clips (I don't always wear belts, and as a bigger kid growing up, my gut would always get in the way), I keep the phone in my pocket. There's a few light scratches on the screen, and one or two on a corner where I dropped it. Drives me a little crazy sometimes, but my phone has fared well otherwise. I have the kickstand grip from the Sprint store, that's it.
I "acquired" a first gen iPod Nano last year, before Apple recalled a bunch for battery problems. I sent mine in and they replaced it with a sixth-generation nano, which I thought was awesome (and no, I'm not an Apple fanboy). I was getting out of my car with a couple of bags, and not realizing there was a clip on the back of the iPod, I just tried to grab and hold it with the bags. Fate was not so kind to me, as I dropped the iPod, face down, onto the strip of driveway I park on. Right onto some rocks. While it still works, it doesn't look very pretty.
Now that I moved in with my fiancee and her dogs and cats, I really need to be careful with my hardware.

This. This is why I have a case on mine. I've dropped mine on several occasions, two being the same situation as yours, not a scratch on it whatsoever.

this is why you dont set your phone on your lap in your car. not to mention, if that **** slides off and gets stuck between the middle console and the car seat, it can be a ***** to remove. i always rest it on the seat, in my crotch area, with the speaker up so i can hear the ringer and notifications. plus i can feel it vibrate which is always nice.

I generally leave the phone on the passenger seat (when no one else is with me), in the cup holder, or in a compartment under my stereo. That's probably in ascending order of safety. I've dropped my phone down the crevice between my seat and the center console, and yes, it is a pain to get out of there. Always worried I will scuff up the screen or find some long lost piece of food under there to fall on top of.

A couple. Only one major drop. About 25 feet from a lighting grid above my schools Black Box theater. The phone hit the ground pretty hard, but the case popped off upon hitting the ground, and bounced, absorbing most of the force. I guess my phone needs a harness just like I do:laugh:!

Screen toughness

So I've had my note 2 for about 4 days. Paid full retail $700. First thing this morning I dropped it and boom goes my screen. My problem is. I was sitting and it only dropped about 2 feet. Onto a soft wood porch floor. By soft wood I mean it is and old porch and needs replaced. The wood is old and soft. also the phone landed on the back. I feel like any phone should be able to survive such a small drop. Not to mention we have the new ultra durable gorrilla glass 2. Right? Wrong. Samsung refuses to even consider helping me out. It is against policy they say because I dropped it. But I think a device like this should have been able to handle such a drop. If I dropped it from 5-6 feet or if I dropped it on concrete I would understand. I have had 2 vibrants. 2 galaxy s2. 2 galaxy s3. And now the note. Paid full retail for all of them because I use straighttalk. I would think being such a loyal customer would mean something. Guess I was wrong. They will fix it for me. For about $200 and I have to ship it to them then be without a phone until it is shipped back. Not cool samsung... not cool.

Did you pay via a credit card? My card (citi dividends) has a 90 day protection against loss, theft and accidental damage. Check if you card has the same, then see if you can send them the $200 bill and they should pay you that. Also, most credit cards add a year onto the warranty, so keep your reciept

Gorilla glass is hard, not durable. The hardness makes it scratch resistant, the tradeoff is it becomes brittle. Just like diamond, super hard but hit the right spot and its dust.
That said we all are owners of a super hi tech device that is NEVER MEANT TO BE DROPPED.
If it even survives 1 mishap, consider the gods smiling down on you.
Sucks but I think we expect too much.

I agree. Its not supposed to be indestructable. But also I expect it to withstand normal wear and tear. Like I said if it had been a drop from maybe 4 foot or higher, or a drop on concrete I would understand. Also like I previously said. I have bought every samsung phone since the vibrant. Actually 2. Of each me and my girl. And I paid full retail for all of them. They have all been registered with samsung. And I have never asked them for anything extra for free. But in this situation I believe the phone should have held up. And it didn't. Not even close, it was such a small drop and the entire screen is shattered. If you seen it you woukd think it was hit with a hammer. It still works,I just think my loyalty to them over the past few years could be rewarded with at least a slight break in the price. I'm all about samsung, I should be a salesman the way I try to push there products just because they are good products. And I feel they are looking at me like well look how much money he has dropped before with us. He'll just pay what it takes to fix his phone. And they are right. I just feel they could help me out.

Your phone must have taken the hit in the perfect spot to shatter. This past Sunday at church, some of the youth were looking at my note II while I was having a conversation with someone else. A couple of the middle school boys were fighting over it and my phone flung out of their hands, hit the wall behind me where we were sitting, and it slammed the ground about 3 to 4 feet down. The battery and cover popped off, but there was little damage. All I can see now is a barely noticeable, tiny crack on the battery case, which is replaceable. The screen is as pristine as ever though. Side lesson? Don't ever let your note II out of sight when it's in the hands of a middle school boy. Or you can be the grinch of the group and not let the boys see it at all (girls are ok though).

That's a screw job if I ever heard of one, plus it sounds like you got a bad model. Mine survived a drop from a 6ft ladder onto solid concrete landing point blank on the corner with nothing but a scuff of the plastic that you can't even tell without me pointing it out.
It's just messed up that they won't replace it for you after such a short period of time

It's just bad business. I work in a customer oriented job, part of it is dealing with exchanges and whatnot, if you sell something and it breaks within a short amount of time regardless of the reason it's better to just replace it for them, on the grounds of good service and company image.
Had it been awhile then it'd be another story, but less then a week makes it look like you won't return or replace it cause you expect it to be a trend and have no faith in the product. And really there's money to be made there, charge a fee of some sort, replace the unit then fix the screen on the old one and sell it. Or just charge to replace the screen, that'd be the most fair offer to both and it'd make samsung look like it has good support for the customer.
Of course if he'd just bought insurance it'd be a moot point. 4.97/mo from tmobile, best thing to do by far

Fragile?

So, I'm looking at getting the Optimus G, but have a few reservations, the biggest of which is the glass panel on the back. I'm wondering from you guys about real-world usage is this something I should be worried about. I don't like cases because they add too much bulk and I'm normal in that drops my phone on the concrete from time to time. Also, I've got young kids which, unfortunately, can lead to some extra drops. Should I be worried about the glass on the back cracking? Any advise would be much appreciated!
A few other reservations are related to the non-upgradable storage and non-removable battery, but I think I'm okay with those.

I have had this phone since it was released and I hardly ever have my bumper case on it and I've dropped it and have never had an issue. I don't know what it is with this phone but it seems indestructible.

I'm not one to drop my phone so I can't personally say anything about the durability of the phone after a drop. But I do know its a mixed bag. And judging from what you said, you drop your phone quite frequently. In which case, I can't recommend this phone for you. This isn't like other phones where if you crack the screen you can still use it. It becomes unresponsive. So my opinion, this phone is a no go for you.

Other people would beg to differ I'm sure.

Most of the time I use a pretty cheap rubber case by Diztronic. I've dropped it a few times from a few feet up onto concrete in this case, and it's been totally fine. That said, I don't know how it would fare without the case. You really should have a case for any phone you get, though. Particularly if it's glass. But there's nothing about this phone that makes it more fragile than the other glass guy.

Thanks!
Thanks for the information! I wouldn't say I'm a frequent dropper, but I do keep my phones for 2 years for the upgrade and in that time there are a number of drops. Thanks again!

I have an otter box on my phone. The other day I was running on my treadmill and using my phone to listen to some tunes when it fell out of my pocket on to the treadmill and hit a wall. Its still in perfect condition.

Arm feels better already, still hurts, but not like it did on Wednesday!
Definitely broken per doctor #1, have to go see the orthopedic surgeon on Monday

lol, every time I read the title of this thread I think of Christmas Story when Ralphie's dad gets his "major award"
"Fra-gee-lay! Must be Italian!"

I have the diztronic case mentioned earlier. The phone is a little more awkward with it but I feel safer with it on. Plus it is nice to have the phone lie flat on a table or desk.
