No case. Dropped from knee high on to stiff carpet and it cracked something inside becase i had a green vertical line from then on. Got a new one though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kingre:
No case (then - have Spigen Neo Hybrid now). Dropped from high bar near hotel pool. Had headphones connected, so that definitely slowed the fall. Hit on concrete. No damage at all - not even scratch on bezel. Now have case and Square Trade insurance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bigtjmc:
No drop no cracks so far so good . Just a matter of time tho , just hope my case does the job. Maybe I will put a chain on it like they use to do with wallets lol.

Mine was naked and on the 3rd day I was just browsing the internet in my parents family room, their floor is this brand new Patagonian Rosewood (one of the hardest woods) and my kids were goofing around with some beach ball and smacked my phone out of my hand, it fell about 2ft onto the hardwood. I was cringing cause I saw other thread of people dropping it on carpet and cracking it. Mine had zero issues, no dents, cracks, nothing.

Now my phone has the BestSkinsEver full body skin. I would've had it on earlier but they didn't send it till about 6days after the S4 launch.

Where's the option: Why would I drop my $600 phone?

[knocks on wood]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hotdog32836:
Come on... You have to have some common sense. People dont drop phone because its fun, but because its an accident. I ACCIDENTLY dropped mine from 2 feet with a cheap case on and the screen shattered, so theres a testament to the durablilty of the phone. My freind let me drop his s3 in a balistic case from the 9 foot ceiling onto tile floor... Not a scratch anywhere. That just might be my next case when i fix the screen.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dixit:
Well for me my kids goofing around with a beach ball inside the house smacked me pretty hard on the hands and the phone took off. If the screen shattered, boy I would've been pissed at my son for horsing around inside the house with a beach ball

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sledutah:
Don't drop it if you don't want a broken phone, easy as that.

I dropped my SII a week after I got it. I was laying under a car using the light when it happened. I didn't blame anybody but myself. You kids that are complaining need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
Have accidentally dropped mine twice both times on concrete. First time was leaving the beach and it slipped from my hand while putting on shirt. While walking didn't have in my pocket cause shorts was wet. Fell from about 4 feet. Second drop was tonight from a table down to concrete floor on porch. Both times it was in a Pt platinum case from the Samsung booth in best buy. No screen protector. Not a scratch or crack happened. Still works perfect. 32 gb black mist model
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ViciousLSD:
Dropped my phone 3 times Thanks to my 1 year old son. Once from a foot and twice from about 3 feet off from the night stand. Flat down drops and a corner drop no damage what so ever.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sledutah:
Haha, why because I don't ***** and moan about everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] qbanlinxx:
Not everyone paid $200 for there phone. Some paid close to $700 and you drop it one time on some carpet and it breaks. Thats some bullsh!t. Let people ***** and complain, it shouldn't bother you none
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Thank you all for the feedback. I would like to reiterate that this poll was only meant to gather information, not start flame wars.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
I dropped my twice already. Stupid me putting it in a shirt pocket and then having it slide out when bending over to pick up something. Luckily it only has fallen from about 2 feet when this has happened. First time was on a tile floor second time was on a marble slab parking area that was wet. No damage either time accept for a minor scrape on the edge of the Spigen Neo Hybrid case I'm using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mcmb03:
dropped mine from chest hight (i'm 6' 2") onto a concrete patio. I have the samsung flip view cover, moshi ivisor xt screen protector, and spigen flip mate. not even a scratch!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ronj1986:
I just dropped mine off of the bed. It has a case on it. No damage:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tckwhaley:
Dropped my galaxy s4 twice. Unfortunately my amoled screeb cracked on the second drop (2feet to cement)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Sorry to hear that! Did you have a case on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tckwhaley:
I had just put on a new samsung flip cover but I wouldnt count that as being a case. Was looking at getting the otterbox commuter series case for the new one I got today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Good idea. If I get a black S4, I'm leaning toward the Cygnett WorkMate case: http://us.cygnett.com/smartphone/sm...n-bright-blue-galaxy-s4-silicone-pc-case.html.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hyghonryce:
I dropped it on concrete. No scratches. Fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tckwhaley:
I was looking into several cases im glad you posted a link for the cygnett. I really like the design. but im stuck between the otter box commuter and workmate, and the spigen neo hybrid. it wont let me link it (10 post needed)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Yes, at this point (two weeks away from my upgrade eligibility date), I'm pretty much sold on getting the S4, but I'm still undecided on color. I originally wanted a white one to go with a rooCase Fuse case --identical to the Poetic Atmosphere (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BJS9B98/ref=redir_mdp_mobile) I pre-ordered, but now I think I need more protection, so I'm leaning toward the black S4 with the blue Cygnett WorkMate case. For a bulky case, it has a little bit of style. I also like the orange one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dallenn:
Dropped mine from chest height onto wood, still perfect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] elementlaxer:
In an otter box defender I accidentally bumped mine about 5 ft onto concrete (it was on the hood of my truck) and no damage at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dlucks80:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JuaNMaN:
Yes, not damaged.

Mine fell to me from the bag of my pants to the floor, and luckyly the housing was only dented, the screen is intact.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChaseBroyles:
My first and only drop was about two feet up onto a rubber charter bus floor. Two cracks intersecting on the back button. Not bad enough to get the screen replaced though. This is the first phone I've ever damaged. :(

No case or screen protector and don't plan on getting one. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DuffmasterFresh:
I never drop my phones... until now. Dropped it from waist height, so about 3 or 4 feet. It seems to have landed on the back cover right where the headphone jack is. Just a little scrape, no other damaged detected. HOWEVER, I have a feeling it is slightly more glitchy, it could just be me being paranoid. I have till this sunday to return it should it have any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Anthony04x:
Yes, dropped on concrete using a spigen slim case and knicked the bottom right bezel' I was so sad lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] peaster3:
OP, I apologize if you don't think this question belongs here...I'm just wondering from those who have broken the screen. Has anyone tried to fix the screen themselves? If so, I'd appreciate reading about your experience
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rhamza161:
I've dropped mine twice. once from the car as I was getting out at night and I forgot I put it there. and once when I was getting the mail I dropped it about 4 feet to the curb, it bounced and hit asphalt. Neither drop caused any damage with a TPU case on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andrawer:
No damage when dropped (twice) on blacktop from 5'.

I had Samsung's official case from BestBuy...Galaxy S 4 Protective Cover +, Navy

EF-PI950BN.

It provides nice thin coverage with minimum lip on screen.

Tripped over dog in dark and landed on phone edge instead of hands (my entire weight).

No damage to phone. Dog and face slightly bruised.

Using Samsung protective cover.

Recently added led flashlight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] speedlever:
The edge of the case snagged my pants as I was pulling it out of my back pocket and pulled it out of my hand. It clattered to the tile floor but there was no damage to either the phone or the case. Speck Candy Shell case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alex6speed:
Dropped my S4 twice. Once flat on its face on a wood floor and came out fine. Dropped again on the top right corner onto a brick floor and shattered the OLED. Cost $200 to repair straight from Sammy. Was caseless when I dropped it. Phone was dead on a Sunday. My Otterbox Commuter case was delivered the next day. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] trueking7:
Elmagurrd!! I dropped my s4 today while grocery shopping. I almost caught it twice and even dropped awkwardly to my knees in an attempt to cushion it's fall. It landed on its back from about a 3' fall. I have a hard slim Casemate cover. My phone escaped unscathed =)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
That's the one my son got--very nice case--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CallMeAria:
Finally dropped mine today at the pool. Had it inside a towel on a chair. I Picked the towel up and it hit the concrete, lower right corner first before ending up display side down, from about 2' up.

Only damage was some scuffing of the bezel in the corner where it hit. Hardly noticeable.

Only protection was a cheap-o screen protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CAG-man:
Dropped it 3 times. Have an Otter box defender with belt clip. All the drops have been the phone falling out of the belt clip. I make sure it is good and secure now after these 3 incidents.

It has fallen rough 3 feet onto blacktop, a basketball court, and one of those times it hit my steel toe on the fall and took an extra fling. (That one scared me). The last time was in the car and closing the car door. It slipped out onto the parking lot just as the door was closing.

The phone still looks good as new. No cracks.

Never had a belt clip before but this phone is too big for my pocket. Been a learning experience. I haven't had a drop in a few weeks, since I have been making sure it is secure in the clip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] danny39:
Dropped mine from maybe 4ft.

Glass. Broken.

LCD. Broken.

Nobody in my area has parts to fix it yet. They said maybe a few months. Blackberry Torch for the meantime...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maknora:
Did you case it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mudknot2005:
My buddy dropped his about a week after getting it about a 4 foot drop with no case. Chipped the faux aluminum and cracked the front facing camera.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s384:
ive never dropped my kids when they were infants. I treat the phone the same. of course a phone ia more prone to accidents. ive dropped my s2 many times. only had a cheap case. once dropped from drivers seat of my semi truck so maybe an 7 or 8 foot fall and it was fine. on pavement too. but that phone could have doubled as a hammer im sure.

s3 and s4 have never fell more than a foot or two onto anything other than carpet.

the samsung official drops sure look good though

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

theres a video of a guy with otterbox commuter s3 and he throws it like 25 feet on to pavement down a set of stairs and its fine. the shock might hurt it. but from your belt clip I doubt it.

it was the video that convinced me to get a commuter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZF1YFefgnQ

and there was another of a kid throwing his iphone out his second floor window od his house and it was also fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KGB7:
Im using Acase. Dropped my phone on a pavement, lost a chunk of plastic off the case, but no damage to phone at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Dropped from 4ft onto inlaid vinyl floor, no case--never use--never will--just a leather pouch

This drop was naked--NO damage

Leaned on it while resting on car center console and in leather pouch. Felt it and console flex--NO damage

I will keep hoping--:)

Dropped mine on the concrete floor with no case and all I got was a tiny dent in the metal-look frame. Good so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] txmark:
I dropped mine (from waist high) onto the tile floor at the grocery store. The glass was fine but the LCD digitizer didn't survive. $240 and about 45 minutes later I was back up. I had the SPIGEN SGP slim case - which is NOT really a case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ashley_nicole:
Well. My first s4 fell on to the pavement out of my lap because I forgot it was there when I got out of my car so roughly about 2 feet and the camera glass shattered. On the upside I got all the glass out and it worked like new no case btw. I had also dropped it from higher and on different floors and no damage to screen. But I'm a teenager and I threw it at the ground with alot of force and the screen under the glass shattered(note the actual glass did not even have a scratch). No case no screen protector. Haven't dropped my new one yet I have a trident case on aegis I believe and no screen protector yet. Investing in one soon. Also please don't give me crap about me throwing my phone. I want aiming at the floor I was aiming at the clothes in the laundry basketand missed. And I hate myself for it. Not my best decision.

EDIT also insurance with att is $200 for the s4. Just replaced mine a week ago

I'm a heavy equipment operator and today I was in a loader... Fumbled with my phone in the cab and it fell out the Window onto the pavement... I would guess the hight to be in excess of 6 feet... I was totally freaked... Add to that I was moving slowly so I thought I had driven over it. I have the otterbox commuter case. No damage :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dillonr:
Didn't drop it

Was in an Otterbox (Commuter series)

the screen cracked (not the glass, but the display)

i sent it in for repair, but i forgot to unroot my phone so i hope they fix it

Edit: they didn't fix it, but they did give me a new device. otterbox sent me a new screen protector as the one i had was on the device the repair techs took. i kept the case though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mudknot2005:
Mine took a pretty hard hit from about four feet out of my pocket on to concrete. It was in a olo tpu case. Cracked the glass but the LCD is still working fine. Found a shop that is going to replace the screen for 150. Its now in a otter box defender.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MaxiGOD:
Screen wasn't damaged and I've dropped it 3 times already :(

The plastic around the phone has a few dents though. Also some scratches near the charging port.

Hi guys, extremely frustrating problem I have.

It has happened on two different ROM's so I don't think it's a glitch with the ROM as such, but of a file or possible app in my phone.

I have even used rom toolbox to delete every notification sound, yet this ghost noise still occurs.

It usually happens after I unlock my phone, the noise resembles something similair to the notification sound 'deneb'

No idea what it is, or how I can shut it up, once again it sometimes happens, othertimes it doesn't.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Yes they will be removed. It will be pure AOSP Android which it is running. And the hardware will be the Qualcomm version very likely (i9505)
