[EVO 4G Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I have the atmel screen with a gorilla glass digitizer, last week I dropped it face down on the concrete and proceeded to kick it down a flight of concrete stairs(it fell mid stride right in the line of fire) it bounced all the way down face first and landed on the corner of a concrete paver across the sidewalk from the bottom of the stairs, I thought "sh!t time to hit up eBay for a screen", when i picked it up and dusted it off the only thing wrong was a tiny scratch on the bottom.corner of the housing that all but vanished after I wiped it with a wet rag, and it was completely naked no case no screen protector nada

We are legion, for we are many.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Monkeyforce:
From my experience the Digitizer(Touchscreen) is Durable, and tested it on a broken screen from an EVO I fixed. Ran a serrated blade and a razor blade, no scratch's at all.

I use a Otterbox case, not to protect the phone but to lessen the impact(#1 Killer of Digitizers in my family) on the screen when I drop it, like I do everyday. :D

Sidenote: I order my screens at Amazon, great prices.

I heard the phantom USA very nice full body clear phone protecter.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jdjanka:
I'm still rocking the original EVO 4G with no protector (almost a year and a half) with very minimal wear. Granted I'm not hard on my phones (I don't keep my keys or anything else that could cause damage in the same pocket as my phone) and I've only dropped it a handful of times. I've never liked any screen protectors I've used so I guess I'm a bit biased, but I just don't see the benefit as long as you're somewhat careful.

is there a way to get a better, clearer htc screen?
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnincincy:
Sharing my experience. My EVO has taken serious punishment from me. Dropped and the corner of the EVO and concrete met up and had a disagreement. Thank goodness for insurance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PlatinumPenguin:
Dropped mine for the 1st time ever recently. It was a straight 3ft face down fall to the concrete. Picked it up and all that was cracked was one of the corners but not the glass.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DCWS6:
Wow, that's pretty good!
[EVO 4G Accessories] savoca:
I wouldn't necessarily call that good.. But at least the screen wasn't shattered.
[EVO 4G Accessories] adio01:
I dropped my EVO from my bunked bed the other day. I never use its case anymore and it fell about 3-4 ft and bounced off my dresser to go down another 3 feet and land face down on the floor. The only noticeable mark is a small scrap on one of the corners, otherwise im impressed since ive dropped it 2-3 times before this and had no damage at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LuvThyMetal:
I dropped mine on concrete and it has a lot of cracks now. 3 that are very noticeably, looks so ugly! Imo the screen kinda sucks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] maltedbarley:
I've dropped mine face down a couple times with no damage...but I've seen one completely shatter from a drop that wasn't half as far.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Teamscrooge:
Recommend a protector

The screen is actually very weak... went through three Evos(all the screens broke)... My phone is full of scratches it would be fine as long as you dont drop it

I've dropped my EVO a couple of times (in a case) and all I have to show for it is a broken otterbox.

Since then I've given up on the case. After some keys and a few small drops there's a few small scratches in the bottom right corner (which are barely even noticeable)
[EVO 4G Accessories] zjchaser:
On my 3rd Evo right now.

First one broke mysteriously. It was in my camelback while I was mountainbiking in a pouch all by itself. soo it out at the end of the ride and there was one large crack through the whole screen.

Second fell out of my race suit pocket while I was running through the pits, it landed on its corner and shattered massively..battery and SD card ejected...SD card toasted also. lost that data.

Have an otterbox on my 3rd one :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] mbaseball3:
First evo screen took 2 years to break. Many drops and spills. 2nd screen was when phone slid out of pocket and hit asphalt on bottom corner taking chunk out of screen. 3rd screen cracked somewhere inbetween when i put it in pocket to time i took it out 5 mins later. Still dunno how the f it happened. Those where all in last 2 months. Now im just dealing with cracks until ltevo release.

I am an EMT it's a fast paced huge stress job I got my EVO on launch and got an otterbox for it that day broke the otter box in another it three months (very cheaply made) found this website goballistic.com and got the HC ballistic case and I have to say the last 20 plus months with this phone have been hell oh have dropped kicked thrown hit slammed fell out of the bed of a moving truck ran over by a duramax 5500 ambulance then ran over it with my effin car. This phone has been hit so hard the camera comes dislodged and has to be pushed back in to work. You take my phone out of the case it's in and there is one scratch on the top right corner of the casing not the glass where the otterbox defender failed the day I got rid of it. So In my experience ballistic HC case is head and shoulders over any case out there.

I've had my Evo for over a year and never had a screen protector. No scratches still pretty good screen plus I take good care of my things.

I don't use and cases or covers. I don't have any screen scratches and the phone is in nearly perfect condition. I've owned it for a year.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jayshocka:
I have dropped mine twice. once I bumped arms with someone in a store. Tried to break the phones fall with my foot and wound up booting it 6-7 feet and cracked the screen. got it replaced for about 60 bucks. then another time dropped it from my lap getting out of car. no break no case either time For what it is worth the screen is not fragile by any means
[EVO 4G Accessories] BoostmyXb:
I lost count of how many times i dropped mines already :eek:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Legendary20:
I cracked my screen today. Had it on my lap hit it hit the hardwood floor and there went my screen. Had the phone for about a year and a half.

Replacing digitizer is easier with screen protector on

I've had mine for a couple of years without a case but with a screen protector. I've dropped it numerous times without any issues but it finally landed face down on a small pebble the other day and spider-cracked the screen into a few dozen pieces. The main benefit of the screen protector was that it allowed me to continue to use the phone while I was waiting for the replacement digitizer to arrive. I was frankly amazed that the phone continued to function flawlessly with the glass broken into so many pieces.

Take a chance and attempt the repair yourself.

I got a replacement digitizer on Amazon for <$9, bought a roll of the 2mm double-sided tape to stick the new screen on for ~$5, got the required Torx tool at my local Lowe's Home Improvement store for <$10 and used a guitar pick as a pry tool to remove the old glass.

There is a YouTube video that shows step-by-step instructions for how to take it apart and remove the old glass. The main issue with that video is it shows how to remove an intact glass, which obviously no one replacing the digitizer would have. I heated up my cracked screen with a hair dryer and slid the guitar pick under the glass right where the notch is for the ear speaker then worked my way slowly around the entire broken glass until it lifted out. There is a plastic layer on the underside of the digitizer with holds all the glass shards in place so that was a real plus. My phone works just like new and I'm happy as a bivalvle. Go For It!!

[EVO 4G Accessories] stevovanburen:
I just use cheap dollar protectors on mine and my dad does not use any on his and the plastic of the protector scratches more then his screen.

His screen never scratched the whole time he had the phone (until it fell off hit belt clip on a motorcycle and got run over by a car) so just use the otterbox if it comes with the built in screen protector it does for a reason :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] j0ckinjz:
My phone is tough as a brick. I've thrown it at a wall and dented the wall and yet my phone was still fine. I do uses cases all the time tho. Used to use the cheap otterbox one but the rubber stretched out, now im using like a $2 hard case from amazon. Used to use a screen protector but took it off due to it peeling and what not.

Somehow my cousin dropped his down stairs and it cracked, idk how that happened tho. I guess the glass has a weakness that if you hit it a certain way, it cracks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Gyldarts:
When i got my EVO 4G , it was already scratched, i don't know if the screen is actually strong or not, so i use a screen protector, just in case if it will get more scratches.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lreyes:
Yep haha from experience my dad dropped his twice it made a circle in the middle of the screen which sucks like a cracked circle from hitting the edge of the phone and the corners

Fixed, it looks brand new now, im thinking of giving the 3D to my daughter instead lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] chibamarines:
I've had mine for about a year now, half of that without a screen protector once I was too lazy to buy a new one. Thing still looks great. Sans all those fingerprints. Looks like I need to upgrade to a cleaner set of fingers.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sonic132:
The glass screen is seriously easy to chip/shatter.

Had my 4G on my lap and forgot it was there. I got out of my seat and smack; into the pavement.

I freaked, then was relieved that it hadn't completely shattered. Just a few chips.

All after having the screen replaced a couple months ago.

But I love how responsive the screen is compared to plastic screens.

i had my evo in an otter box and dropped it somehow hit the screen just right a cracked it, however on ebay you can find replacement screens for around $40
[EVO 4G Accessories] Swooperz:
I have to agree. I only use a screen protector from Zagg and have never used a case for it, yet my EVO is still going strong. I've even sat down many times with it in my back pocket. It's a tough little phone if you ask me. iPhones - now that's a different story. I've cracked 2 screens in 4 years on these guys. :|
[EVO 4G Accessories] WeAreGuns:
is it possible to replace the screen of an evo after it has been cracked by yourself, without taking it to either Sprint or Besty Buy, etc.?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jeedaiscum:
Yeah, just look up evo 4g digitizer on Amazon, but make sure you order the precut tape. There are also a few YouTube videos explaining how to do it. It's not that hard to fix. My EVOs screen finally cracked the 30th time I dropped it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brianvillage:
I keep my phone in my shirt pocket at work, I work at a tire shop and it's pretty fast paced. It gets dropped basically dailey one way or the other. But its in great shape still. I have a rubber case for it, and no screen protectors. It takes some real gnarly falls too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] connman:
I used a protector for the first 6-8 months (can't honestly remember exactly how long) took it off and never looked back. It's been dropped, kicked once, sat on, etc. I don't abuse it, but a device that you have with you constantly is going to take some abuse.

I keep it in the Sena leather slipcase, and it looks and acts like new (better actually, because I'm rockin' a JellyBean rom that's sweet).
[EVO 4G Accessories] rpalmerin:
Well, the evo I have was previously my brother's. He never had any screen protectors, cases, nothing.... So is alil banged up of coarse.... But before it was mine, a little one a year ago, he had it in his pocket, tidying his Honda motorcycle home from work one day, and got cut of by a car pulling out of a driveway from an apartment complex.... Well going 45 and getting hit head on practically, he flew 90 feet police approximated, tore his clothes, trashed the sh.. out his bike, cracked the freak out his helmet, everything gone, but this phone,.... And his life. This phone is still in great condition, and I use it every day as an alarm clock. Great phone. All I have to say.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tobalaz:
February 2nd 2011 got my Evo 4g.

All I had on it at the time was one of those POS Sprint screen protectors, was going to get an Otterbox off of Amazon.

Got plastered by a semi going 35 mph with my Evo in my hoodie pocket on the 11th, went up and over my van, smashed in the door, shot the van over a lane in the air and landed on the sidewalk. Didn't notice my Evo come out of my hoodie pocket and smack the dash hard enough to dent the plastic on the top of the phone before it landed on the floor.

Kicked the door open, stepped out, reached for my phone to call 911 and I then noticed it on the floor of my van.

Car totaled (on site officer said I shouldn't have survived that much less walk away), 2 days in the hospital with multiple fractured ribs and vertebrae, a sprained ankle and concussion, and yet virtually no damage to such an amazing little phone.

Recently upgraded but I'm keeping it, darn near indestructible, still love that thing and let my nephews and nieces use it to play Angry Birds on.

Needless to say if my Evo could survive that I with slight cosmetic damage I didn't feel the need for an Otterbox anymore.

But yeah, I still keep a stack of 15 cent screen protectors to keep the screen from getting scratched.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GuitarJesus:
I never had a problem with the screen of my evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] slayers_inc:
My Evo has fallen too many times to count. The screen is still intact.

The worst incident was when I was walking from the park to my car and decided

to whipped the Evo out to send a text. It slipped out of my hand and landed on the

pavement edge first.

The damage:

The edge that it landed on is slightly cracked.

The screen now has some dead pixels in the shape of the edge of a face.

I'm impressed and pleased with the durability of this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] sameeris:
Has anyone tried to activate any of the phones listed below on Page Plus, and if so did talk/text/MMS/data all work? I've been looking for a $200-$300 smartphone that can be activated on P+ without any hassles/special programming required and that isn't too massive. This will be a gift for a first-time smart phone user. Hopefully this list will help any of you looking for a similar phone for yourself or as a gift. Prices based on eBay listings, brand new condition, buy-it-now, includes shipping. Thanks.

Do these work on Page Plus?:

Samsung Illusion: $200-$225, nice balance of small size and good features for the price

LG Enlighten: $215-$230, nice small size, thicker because of slide-out keyboard, slightly smaller display and less advanced features

HTC Merge (I have read this can be activated on Verizon even though only listed w/US Cellular and Alltel): $250-$300, larger size and screen, slide-out keyboard, better features that LG but more expensive

Also considering the following; I have found confirmation on forums that these phones work:

Moto DROID 2 Global: $260-$295, this might be a winner if willing to pay a bit more than Samsung/LG (especially if it works globally)

HTC Incredible: $300-$325, everyone knows about this phone, great but expensive and getting old

HTC Trophy: $300-$350, Windows phone (Mango), larger but good features and reviews, expensive

Moto DROID (original) deserves to be on the list at only $140, though I'd rather pay up for DROID 2 Global

Thanks for sharing your experiences with these phones (or any others that you think I'm forgetting).

And I've been using HTC DROID Eris, my wife is using Palm Pre Plus...both work perfectly out of the box. Just ordered a $38 Palm Pixi Plus for my dad
[General Questions and Answers] klunge:
I have Page Plus using the original Moto Droid, it works just fine. I'm getting ready to move the rest of my family over from Verizon to Page plus also, I will be attempting to hook in with a Moto Droid2 and an HTC Incredible2.

Also FYI the Droid and Droid2 can be had for $100 or less (I got both at that price in excellent condition), so they are good choices. I guess you still cannot activate 4g phones on Page Plus so don't get anything fancier than the Droid X or D-Inc2.

Hey guys...I got a problem with my mobile internet on my inc s...when I check the button for mobile internet...it dims and keeps saying: "Connecting..." but it never connects. :mad:

Note that it was working fine until yesterday...and the problem isn't from consumption.

I also tried flashing radios and even ROMs but didn't work...any ideas? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
I've had that problem before when using the selection from the drop down menu it says connected but than the settings menu says its connecting and never does. It has to do with the way the drop down menu interacts with your settings. Try de selecting mobile under settings than kill the sense (rosie) process from app management under all apps, not the running processes. Reboot your phone and do that again and try to recconect.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Oh your the low signal guy... that might not work. Did you flash the radio? And are you fully wiping when flashing new roms?

Well yeah im pretty sure about wiping and very carefull in flashing..the roms are so smooth and everything is fine except this..i need expert solution...this is a serious problem :s

hi guys. my milestone 2 started to give me a problem with process android.acore or something like that. i tried to uninstall launcher pro and forgot to defreeze the default launcher.

now i dont have launcher and cant use phone how can i do? help plx urgent
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I think the only way out of that is to flash stock firmware with rsd lite. You can find a guide in the development forums, a sticky has a round up of all the faqs guides roms etc, you can find it there :).

I am also assuming you do not have a nandroid backup, but if you do, restoring that would fix it.
