Just checked this article 5 of the Best Aftermarket Smartphone Insurance Plans

I was really excited when I saw the $130 for two year deal on the best rated one, until I looked at the fine print. $100 deductible and it doesn't cover loss/theft and that is a one time option, meaning the insurance basically expires after one replacement. Screen replacement is just under $200 from HTC.

The benefit is you get a replacement sooner, but it's not really insurance when getting the repair done by the manufacturer is cheaper.

Are the plans through the service providers, better priced ?

I have T-mobile so I bought my phone from HTC directly.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
Assurant will slap you with 175 dollars deductible for a cracked screen on a high end device on T-Mobile, the same they charge for lost or stolen devices. It's ridiculous.

I just signed up with Xfinity Mobile and got an iPhone 8 Plus and the deductible for breaking the screen is 29 dollars for up to 2 times in a year, 99 after and they have a separate lost/stolen deductible of 180 for all devices which is a lot more fair and very rare these days. I'm not aware of another carrier that splits it - even a Note 8 is only 99 for a cracked screen, water damage, or other damage outside of the warranty and 180 if lost or stolen.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivanovic:
Let me join the club. Last night my phone also fell from 30-50cm with the shipped htc case on, upper right corner shuttered with a crack reaching the speaker and the front camera. Some other time it fell without a case and I just got a minor scratch and now with case the screen broke.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] p50kombi:
Yeah, I don't understand why they even bothered packing that case with the phone.

I'm an industrial designer and engineer and took one look at that case and immediately ordered a spigen case.

The packed case had no buffer zones on the impact sides and hence actually makes a fall worse I would think as all the energy is transferred over a smaller area (the edge that wraps around on the corner) and is being channeled straight into the phone itself.

It would be safer to not have that case on I would say than use that piece of crap.

I don't often endorse products, but I do like that spigen always makes a buffer zone in the corners, I know it makes my phone a bit bulkier, but I've dropped it a couple of times now, even on a wooden floor and have no damage at all... Knock on wood ;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] aliveanddead86:
Same here. The shipped case was on mine for a temporary solution until my spigen arrived. You can feel that the shipped case is terrible quality, it gets scratched very easily.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] armorer243:
It's glass, for Pete's sakes. Not really sure how one could build a glass-wrapped phone that consumers "ooo" and "ahh" over that IS durable. The trend is glass everywhere with no metal, no plastic, no crumple zones of any kind. Sleek, modern, and stylish wins the day with most high-end phone consumers. But it's a double-edged sword. All that sleek modern glass comes with an exponentially-increased fragility.

I find this picture interesting. Find me a SINGLE smartphone on the market that can survive a front glass impact with a small sharp object. Samsung, LG, HTC, Apple, and Motorola all have this problem because it is inherent to the material used. Glass. The lack of tensile strength is the nature of the material. Go with a plastic screen and this will never happen. Partly because it would get horrible reviews about how "cheap it feels". Now HTC doubled down and put glass on the back which is awfully sexy and sleek. But if memory serves me correctly, reviews of the previous generations of HTC devices were super critical about the lack of edge-to-edge glass as well as the lack of glass on the back like Apple products. HTC gave em what they wanted at the cost of durability.

Sexy things come at a cost. Phones and people are alike in that respect. Personally, I am not a fan of the all-glass movement because it reduces durability. But my, oh my, how sexy it is. The ruggedized devices look horrible and take a two-wheel cart to lug around. I'll throw it in a case and take my chances.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dabuss55:
Dude, same thing. I went to put mine in my pocket and bumped it up against my belt buckle and it shattered the top right hand corner by the camera lens. Htc said it would cost 200 to repair. F**k them.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] dodendemise:
Did you know if you have a Wells Fargo credit card and pay your phone bill with it you can make 2 claims a year with a $25 deductible? I don't have Wells, but that's pretty cool.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodAudible:
So while replacing my rear facing camera I accidentally partially tore the ribbon cable for the recent apps button (thought it was just adhesive. Was terribly wrong). Now the button is kind of borked. It partially works but very inconsistently and seems to activate itself if I apply too much pressure to the frame of the phone.

Upon research I'm told that I need to match a part specific to the phone's carrier which is Sasktel (Canadian variant). However, I can't seem to find any replacement parts specifically for this variant of the S5.

I've activated the onscreen nav bar for now. Any ideas on how I should proceed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] basik:
I have searched many threads but could not find an answer. I want to know how to point the htc album to wherever my pictures are. In previous roms, htc album would just autodetect where my pics were but since flashing duttys dualtouch v4 i cant seem to get htc album to point to my pics. It only displays pics in the default picture folder which is located at device\my documents\my pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wvrent:
After swapping out the back camera of my phone I stopped seeing the network of my service provider (Freedom Mobile AWS) but the networks of the competitors. Since they work on different bands, I'm assuming different radios. I've swapped SIMs with no avail. Is there anything that can test the radios? A diagnostic?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyergandalf:
I am trying to build my own custom Cyanogenmod ROM for Galaxy S5 Exynos (G900H), but it seems that this model was never supported by CM and now by LineageOS.

At first I tried to flash the regular Galaxy S5 (klte) ROM, however the regular system.img and recovery.img didn't work at all on my specific special model (Exynos) obviously, but I had to try.

I saw a few unofficial ROMs for that model over the internet but I need the source code for them (in order to edit it by myslef) and some explanation for how to combine the new Exynos code with the original CM (or LineageOS) repository.

So, is there any way to build a CM ROM for Galaxy S5 Exynos (G900H)?

Then I had to use this thread to make the drivers work:

Then, use these commands to unlock the bootloader.

and then:
