[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macguyver:
So the last 3-4 days I'm losing 3G data, or it doesn't reconnect after a call or switching off of wifi. I've tried *228 options 1 and 2, toggling Airplane mode on and off doesn't fix it either. Only thing that fixes it is a reboot, which is getting annoying. I'm rooted running Mikrunny 1.1, V6 Supercharger and 3G turbocharger. Phone ran great with this setup for the past month with zero issues.

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Wipe and reflash ROM, see if that fixes it.
[HTC Rezound] Legobricke:
For some reason (lately), anytime I unplug my headset from the phone, it causes my media volume to drop to 0...

I am running stock GB 2.3.4 ...

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

It;s driving me crazy....

So my dilemma is: I wanted to wait for the EVO 4G LTE, but now that I think about it I like the look of the Galaxy Nexus a lot more. I think it is a sexier phone with a lot more features that suit me. One of my favorite features is the led how you can get LightFlow to change the color on the LED of pending notifications. So what do you guys think?

One other option is wait for the next Galaxy phone, but for Sprint they might not get it until end of next year or next summer. :P
[General Topics] dexterboy1106:
I understand

My contract is up and I too am debating between these two phones.

The Nexus will get the updates quicker from google, more customization, sweet looking, remove-able battery and add bigger battery/or another

The Evo 4g lte Will take great picks, bigger battery, expandable memory

Sprint was reported to release 15 devices in 2012

No quad core for US yet

Galaxy Nexus has technically been out since December.
[General Topics] dakota123456789:
OH DAMN

Same here I personally think the Nexus is very sexy, but I really like the part you said about 15 phones in 2012 that caught my eye lol
[General Topics] thlinx:
The battery life fails and signal quality is horrific... Stick with the evo lte
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
This will be your last chance at a Nexus device as long as you are on Sprint..go with the Gnex!
[General Topics] lykos:
I'm with low here. The GXN may not be quad core but that doesn't mean you should count it out. The Nexus S held up quick steadly against competition for the past year or so. Even though the competition had 'reportedly' better specs.
[General Topics] dakota123456789:
Thanks guys.

I figured out what I'm gonna do thanks to you guys.
[HTC One S] kpnyc:
Pretty sure most of you can tell where I am heading with this thread based on the title. I personally find the One S has a rather thin and slippery grip on the side, and I am wondering if the fellow One S owners share similar sentiments.

I had the phone for about 2.5 weeks or so, and was totally loving it, except the fact that I always had a hard time getting a good grip with the phone in my hand. One day, I accidentally dropped the phone, from maybe not more than 3ft high. And unfortunately the screen completely cracked. I was extremely upset, partially at myself for not using a screen protector, but more so at HTC.

Phone is not covered by T-mobile's warranty (no insurance), HTC could not even give me a quote for repair due to the phone was just released. So now I have arguably the latest and best android phone in the market collecting dust at home.
[HTC One S] chic.geek:
Sorry to hear, dude - was this the grey version?

I don't think a screen protector would have helped you as they're more to protect from scratches, not impact.

Did you buy it with a credit card? If so, you may have insurance without even knowing it.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Dude thats so bad :(

I new i would break my phone if i didnt get a case... after a few minutes it was slipping out of my hand...

The design is awesome, but they should have implemented so rubber grips down the sides or something..

Anyway, if you do get it fixed...... GET A CASE !! its the best thing i ever bought
[HTC One S] frazzeld:
Check the House Insurance (if you have it) you may be covered....mine is!

Edit:

Ebay are selling the screens
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
I know Discover cards have a insurance clause on some of their stuff so you should check that out like the other guy said . . but yea it's slipped out of my hands onto my jeans countless times because of the lack of grip lol .. that's why i bought a case first thing ..and as for screen protectors i've cracked 3 phones with them on (one with a case on as well) so they don't really help from drops and places should tell you that when you buy it too

[HTC One S] seangprice:
My wife just dropped her One S.... Screen cracked but I'm within the 14 day insurance purchase from T-Mobile. Just got off the phone and within a few weeks we'll warranty the phone. Looking at about 100-120 after all it's a said and done. Needless to say we're lucky on this one.
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
I dropped my iphone4 a countless of times on concrete and the glass never shattered. I dropped my 1S a couple of times already on ceramic tiles and still nothing except that MAO paint problem.

I think cases are butt ugly and a waste of money. I wouldn't even go for the 1S if I was going to use a case. Seriously put a 1S in a case and what does it have over the SGS3 or the 1X?

Anyway just my opinion
[HTC One S] mythek88:
i actually dont believe in phone case either becuz i think they make the phone look ugly and bulky, thus ive never bought phone cases.

however, due to this phone being so thin and slippery, I felt like a grippy phone case is a must have. after surfing around the web for a little while, i found diztronic matte back phone case. Just got the case today and i love it!

high quality case, its made of TPU so it has a good amount of grip. All the holes are cut out perfectly (it doesnt cover any speaker/mic/sensor opening). The case is also thin so it doesnt make my phone bulky (sure it makes ur phone look a little thicker, but it's not a bad compromise at all). And last but not least, i really dig the look of the case, very well designed in my opinion. It also come with a screen protector in case anyone needs one.
[HTC One S] Jason Syn:
And this is exactly why I'm putting a case on my phone for the first time ever. Sorry to hear about your phone mate.

[HTC One S] gpw11:
I've checked online and seen it listed but can I just verify that this phone has Gorilla Glass 1/2? Obviously, that doesn't make it crack proof but I work construction and end up putting my phones through their paces and found that my Milestone (Gorilla Glass) held up a fair bit better than my Desire Z (no Gorilla Glass).

And yes, in my situation a case (And insurance) is a necessity on a three year contract.
[HTC One S] arpheztwig:
I've had the phone for all of 5 days. it fell from my hand as I put something down on a rock, litterally no drop whatsoever, but it slid a whopping 6 inches down the rock on it's face and the screen cracked and scratched. if it is supposed to have gorilla glass, I was gypped. I have no renters insurance and didn't buy it with a credit card, but I do have a plan.

-get the insurance from t-mobile, as I'm withing the 14 days

-enjoy not caring about the phone for the next 6 months

-pay the 130 for a replacement through asurion

-sell new phone for 400+ (if the release of the S3 doesn't drop the market value too much)

-buy Galaxy S3

---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

oh, just to rub salt in the wound, when I got home, today, after cracking the screen, my dritztronic case, with screen protector, was in my mailbox... mocking me...
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
Get one of these TPU cases, very minimal and offers a good grip, easy to take on and off and has a ever so slightly raised edge around the front so even if you drop it face first the screen won't impact any surfaces. I got the clear one with the curved sand blasted part. I think I paid like $9 shipped and it came within a week.
[HTC One S] kpnyc:
Thanks

Thanks everyone for all the sympathetic and constructive replies. Unfortunately the phone is just right over the 14day US T-mobile insurance, and my credit card does not provide any.

I never believed in cases either, always thought it kills the design of the phone, but after this incident, I may think differently. Such a shame though, it's a such a slick looking phone WITHOUT the case. I am considering writing a complaint email to HTC, not sure if it will do any good, but worth a shot.

I had also checked screen replacement online, but they are still in the $150-$200 range.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I doubt HTC is going to help you. You dropped it, and therefore are responsible. Yeah, it SUCKS.

Also, I'm surprised that this screen is Gorilla Glass, based on these reports of cracking. What's the point of Gorilla Glass if it breaks just as easy? I know it's scratchproof, but it's also supposed to be much more resistant to breaks.
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
LOL at the plan BUT what i've learned through all the warranty exchanges i did with my G2x is just call tmobile tell them the phones fine (physically) make up something so they send u out a new one and when they find out its cracked or water damaged or whatever they charge you $74.03 which is almost half of asurion or w.e the company is .. i cracked the F outta my g2x told them it was overheating and they sent me a new one called me in a couple days saying my screens cracked and they're charging me $74.03 just if you wanted my sources it's legit
[HTC One S] chic.geek:
Very hard to read and comprehend, mate... Something about paying money to... overheat... water...
[HTC One S] ToterPunkt:
It's what they SHOULD be doing..seriously. But to explain the process:

Call tmobile

Ask for technical support

Tell them "i don't know what's wrong with my phone, the touch screen isn't working on certain parts and it keeps freezing and calling people on its own" or make up any other non physical issue you can think of.

They'll make you trouble shoot the phone and just play dumb and stick to your "my phone isn't working" excuse

Then the technical support person will tell you "okay, we're going to send you a phone exchange and you just send back the one with issues" they'll ask you if the phone has any PHYSICAL or WATER damage... SAY NO. They'll tell you if they find any damage they will charge you ___ which as the previous poster stated is A LOT cheaper charge than anything the insurance or htc or anyone else will bill you for. You might have to pay for the shipping of the new exchange and that's it.

(and if you end up getting nervous about this and chicken out when the new phone gets to you... just send the same phone back... tmobile sends you a little white box and inside that white box is the shell of the "new" phone with a pre labeled mailing slip and a little sticker to seal the box up again...no big deal)

Make sense?
[HTC One S] syntropic:
F*ckin' hilarious.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Ooh the wringing of hands I am doing over this thread. I share the sentiment here of many...i.e., I don't believe in cases. I had a HTC Glacier/MT4G before this phone and had a rubber case and screen protector and got nearly 18 months perfect use out of it.

But my Android ego would always get to me every time I saw an iPhone. Their owners never had cases! Why do I have to get one? Is the iPhone better or are iPhone users just stupid and vain?

Well I always told myself they were stupid and vain. But then off course, I wanted to be stupid and vain too!! So I get the One-A and the TMO upsell squad use their three-pronged attack while one guy is checking my number/plan/etc.

"You gotta get the case man. The One-A is a sweet phone and you don't want to drop it and risk damage...and screen protectors are a must too. And, if you buy those two items, you get free accessory! Come on! What are you waiting for? Everyone here at the store had a case! Apparently our friend hasn't heard of the food chain! (Simpsons reference)"

And I am thinking "but....doesn't this phone have a super sturdy, HTC-quality, oxidated-orized aluminum back and gorilla glass?? They must be just trying to squeeze $45 more out of me on a $8 case"

But when I got the phone out and started using it, it felt like I had to use two hands to be sure it wasn't going to slip. And this is somewhat of a good thing, because I walk around with it now like I am holding a spring release detonator. 3 days and I haven't dropped it...but, I fell asleep with it last night, and as I got out of bed this morning (and had forgotten I had slept with it) it tumbled to the wood floor.

It survived...but my peace of mind didn't. I think finding a small, translucent/transparent case is probably going to be a good move.

Stupid iPhone users.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
No worries, all the iPhone 4's I've seen either have broken glass, or a case (sometimes both). So all those years of superior durability are behind them.
[HTC One S] elracing21:
I just got my otterbox commuter case and feel nice and safe with it. It didn't add too much bulk and still feels nice in my hands. I've dropped it 2x with the commuter from about 3-4 feet even slid it off a desk to the ground by accident and the thing just bounced up like nothing lol. So worth the $45 I spent.

I acutally noticed a small mark on the bottom angular side of the screen. Its hard to notice, but its there and i am pretty good with my phones, So i have no idea how i got it.

I am definetly getting a case.
[HTC One S] ickster:
This is no doubt the slipperiest device I have ever had. Was there no testing done before release? I'm very afraid of dropping it.

I got the HTC rubber case when I purchased the phone. I don't like it.....makes the phone as big as the Sensation and it is a bit slick as well.

I'm going to try the Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber skin. I had it on my Sensation and liked it. No sure how much it will help with the slickness tho'.

And Gorilla Glass sucks.:p I've already got several scratches.......damn disposable lighters.
[HTC One S] akagoffer:
A friend of mine thought it would be funny to slap the phone out of my hand as I was taking a picture, results were a shattered screen.

Sent it off to HTC and according to tracking they received it 10 days ago and they still havent processed it, at least according to their online system. Called them up and they said it would take up to 2 weeks to process then an addition 2 weeks for the repair. Ridiculous!
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Fixed that for ya. ;)
[HTC One S] elracing21:
Lmao!

I have had my otterbox on my case since the week after purchase. I even applied the screen protector and I'm now noticing a hair like scratch on the screen. Idk if this is the screen protector on the inside part or if its just the screen dirty. Maybe I kissed that the first day I applied it but I really hope its not a scratched screen. I don't even want to remove the.screen protector so I don't get pissed off.

I thought gorilla glass was supposed to be the greater thug ever. I honestly think the industry of glass does this on purpose. The technology for unbreakable and unscratchable glass is there but they won't give it to consumers because their business will flop. Think of all of us who get screen replacements every now and then. They are smart jerks and this is why our "gorilla glass sucks"

Sent from my HTC one sex
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Think about high end watches; they've had sapphire glass that's practically unscratchable, AND uncrackable for years now. But then that might not work for touch screens, so who knows. I'm not convinced the One S even has gorilla glass anyway. I can't remember ever seeing an official listing for it that said gorilla glass, so I went ahead and ordered the RealLook screen protector yesterday after reading all the stories of people getting scratches.
[HTC One S] elracing21:
I'm starting to believe this isn't gorilla glass too.

Sent from my HTC one sex
[HTC One S] dlorde:
A sapphire glass the size of a phone screen would be incredibly expensive, and might be equally prone to cracking with such a large area anyway.

You must have missed HTC's own One S overview (see Key Features -> Design).
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Sure didn't. My Vibrant had two hard-earned years of abuse with only one tiny knick (never a screen protector), and relatively few "scratched it" threads compared to the One S.
[HTC One S] bastian44:
one S has gorilla glass 2,it is thinner but should be as tough and scratch resistant as original gorilla glass...

"TOUGH JUST GOT BETTER

New Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2

The damage resistance you demand, at a thinness that will astound you.

Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is as tough and scratch resistant as ever to withstand the unexpected abuses of everyday life. But now it's thinner, enabling slimmer and sleeker devices, brighter images, and greater touch sensitivity. Look for it on the world's coolest smartphones, tablets, and PCs."

Because of This new "better" thinner screens (and design of the HTC newest phones) new devaises are more frigaile:( My old desire land several times on the concrite and nothing really happened only metal frame around the screen was damage.
[HTC One S] underdog378:
I think the problem is that people are confusing "scratch RESISTANT" with "invincible". :rolleyes:
[HTC One S] Andy2502:
Unibody is damaged :(

Before i had my One S i walked in a store and bought a case for my new Smartphone..

a day after getting drunk i was outside.. had my One S in my hand and it, i don´t know how, flow out of my hand and exactly on the top Side of my phone..

i hate this case, cause it doesn´t cover exactly this side of this phone :confused:

Sorry for my english.. had a crazy drunk night :D:D

[HTC One S] ladyhaly:
Completely agree.
[HTC One S] pandorazboxx:
I also dropped mine only about 3 days into having it. :mad:

Just nicked the corner luckily. But then I noticed a few days ago, that there are now some scratches on the screen. I have no idea how that even happened. There were no scratches on it when I dropped it. Maybe I had it in the same pocket as my keys, but I've had plenty of phones with no screen protector on it in my pocket before and I've never had scratches like this. I think a screen protector at the least is a must for this phone. It sucks, because I prefer nothing on the phone at all. I'm guessing there's no easy way to fix these screens yet...
[HTC One S] Shadow2344:
You just have to be careful while holding it because no smartphone screens can handle a fall. But about the scratches, I don't own a screen protector and always carry my One S in my pocket and there is no scratch by now.
[HTC One S] ickster:
As long as that's the only thing in your pocket you may be alright.

I got several scratches on mine within a week. I've got the Ghost Armor front and back now. I like the carbon fiber back cover.....doesn't seem as slippery now. And no loss of form.:cool:
[HTC One S] elracing21:
I wouldn't even call this scratch resistant. My phones first week was without a case or protector. I babies it always keeping it I'm my pocket alone and not setting it down on any surface and when I got my otterbox and put the screen protector I notice a scratch on the screen. Really spotty.

This thread scares me!

Right now I am trying to decide if I want the One S or the Amaze and this thread is scary. I am a total klutz and I have dropped my G2 more times than I can count. Probably 2 times a month! it has a couple of dinks on the edges and bezel but the screen is still great. Hmmmm thinking maybe the One S is not for me :(
[HTC One S] hemingway60:
This doesn't sound good. It is true that you have to take extreme care with your phone but, cracked from the first drop? 3 feet only? So apparently we have the MAO issue, the multitasking due to Sense 4 being a resource hog and now the screen is apparently too weak?

HTC is still using Gorilla Glass but the problem going on here could be the thickness. Maybe they compromised with a too thin screen to achieve a slim phone. Gorilla Glass is definitely tough enough to resist scratches but if its too thin, it is not going to withstand much drops. The drop test made with HTC One X made me feel relieved that the HTC One S is going to be as durable (Who the hell would drop it from shoulder height) but this thread is making me think twice.

The HTC One S should be released in the UAE in a weeks time, at least that is what the retailers told me. If such problems do continue, I'll sacrifice the performance of this beast and just go with the HTC Sensation XE.
[HTC One S] kpnyc:
Got my replacement phone from T-mobile for $115 (HTC quoted me roughly $200!). Bought myself a Diztronic Matte Back Translucent case, supposedly the thinnest one in the market AND with decent protection. The phone is not as slippery anymore, but not liking the added bulkiness so much.

So question for ickster, how do you like the Ghost Armor carbon fiber skin? Why did you choose that over other brands like skinomi, armorsuit, etc…? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
[HTC One S] Nick L:
I wouldn't worry. There are too many variables at play to be able to say that one phone is more likely to crack after a fall than another (impact angle and speed, ground/floor hardness, etc.), and no phone will be able to survive being in a pocket with keys or coins unscathed (I always keep my phone in one pocket and everything else in the other). You just have to be careful, and as someone else said - Gorilla Glass does not mean "invincible".
[HTC One S] ickster:
I've no experience with any of those. I had the carbon fiber skin on my Sensation. It's simply a couple of stickers.

I don't want to ruin the phone with an actual case.

I thought the carbon fiber would help with the slickness and IMHO it does. The sticker doesn't surround the phone ie There is no edge to it, but there are front strips. The edge ridges of the stickers seem to help make it easier to hold.

I got a few scratches pretty quick so I put the screen protector on as well. I don't like it so much. Not real smooth w/ a rubbery sort of feel. Works well. It covered the tiny scratches too.
[HTC One S] kpnyc:
Thank you sir for your valuable input. I feel the same way about a case too. Now that it has one on, it feels as wide as the Galaxy S2 in my hand, not really digging that.

I am ordering the black carbon fiber skin. Good to know that the device is not as slippery with the edge strips, will just try to be more careful with the phone.
