Wow.! The build quality on this thing is AMAZING. I've dropped it so many times (clumsy me), and I just now dropped my phone one foot off a hard surface (which is quite a height, for me), and not a little scratch dared to show up on my phone.
How amazing has the phone's build quality been for you guys.?

Yeah but you knwo what, with the first one i had, I had that slight bend as well. Im not sure if it due to the strength of the beack of the phone, but the Metal bezel around the perimeter of the device. WHen i took my phone apart, the Metal bezel was super flexable. I think thats where the weakness comes from altogether. But thats my opinion. Other than that, I think this device is built very well. The back is incredibly ugly LOL, but has a nice feel to it. ALso the screen glass, is pretty durible itself.
The longer this phone is out the more it appears to be a model to skip. I don't think i have ever seen a phone bend before. Aluminum, while cheap, does not have the strength needed for this phone. Very poor design.

Why don't you buy an iPhone and drop that, see what happens. I don't think there is any other phone out there with the same build quality as this one.
Dropped my phone down a couple of solid wooden steps. My plastic back popped off, but there isn't a scratch on this thing.

I would assume at least one. If a screen cracks while a phone is being held, then I'll be mortified/impressed.
Overall, I'm pleased with the build quality of this phone. I thought the 3D moved forward in some aspects and backward in others, but I feel this phone simply moves forward. I chuckle when people say the back of the phone looks ugly. Are you spending a lot of time looking at the back of your phone?

Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends. Please show me any other phone that has this problem, better yet, show me how to stop it from happening. Is there a case out there that is designed to prevent a phone from bending?

I've had mine since the week before the official release. I'd had a Behold II under contract and thankfully fussed at the right T-Mobile corporate people at the right time, and they basically gave me the Vibrant to shut me up.
Anywho, this thing has bounced off of countless things as well as survived a bathtub dump and an accidental washing with the laundry (disassembly required for proper drying out afterwards on both occasions). Has two tiny nicks on the chrome trim and one tiny scuff on one of the backplates.
Still runs like a champ! Best phone I've ever had.
I agree. My dad got this off a friend for 100$ flat and neither him nor I regret it. After all its been through it only has some minor nicks on the crome sides and a small scratch on the backplate. Best phone ive ever had

Hope it can last just one year longer. Then I'll be getting myself an iPhone 5.
My device as stood up against a couple of small drops. There are 1 or 2 dings in the chrome bezel, but, other than that... it's still flawless, and I've had this thing since a day or two after US release. I stopped using the rubber case, since I'm usually pretty careful (except the 2 dings)... and what's the point of buying a super sleek, ultra thin phone, just to bulk it up with giant case. I also don't use screen protectors, and my screen is still flawless. I mean, the Galaxy S series has Gorilla Glass... which is scratch resistant. Besides, screen protectors reduce picture quality, and touch response.

I love my vibrant but the only reason I like it is because of our awesome devs. before I learned how to flash and everything I ****ing hated this thing. the nexus phones are the only ones that work great out of the box and even then I think it needs tweaking before everything is great. I'm going with the iPhone next because I want something easy out of the box that doesn't require much work.
the way I see it is
Rooted, flashed and tweaked android phone >>>>>>>>>>>> iphone
out of the box
iphone >android
only by a little though
I like android more too, but with every device there are tradeoffs. I'm willing to be in apple's walled garden for now haha
I got my Vibrant right around when it launched. Put a Zagg shield on it and that Samsung carbon fiber looking case the same day. Actually replaced the battery on it two months ago and i finally took the case off to clean it. Not a scratch and still looks new. I didnt even pamper the phone. I just think the hardware was solid and im sure a good case helped keep the plastic looking shiny. Hope my new GNex looks as good in another year.
I dropped mine in molten lava, let it sit for a day in a bag of rice, and its good as new.
Vibrant is a freaking defy on crack. I've stepped on it, last Christmas I dropped it slipped from my pocket onto a pile of rocks I was on top of my garage, its tooken a million and one drops. It bounced off my stairs once and my little nephews flung it across the room. Amazing phone. :')

So I've been living with the Amaze for a couple of weeks now and the design has certainly grown me. It's a bit of a foray from the more traditional, plastic clad Android handsets out there but it never really shouts "look at me!".
So my question to all of you fellow Amaze users is, "What do you think of the design?"
Personally, I quite like the beveled edge with the screen sitting above the bezel but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think.

You've posted in the right place so no worries and i love the design, i think its one of the best looking ive used to this day. but since HTC has made these designs (sensation, amaze) how the whole back comes off. these phones have much issues. like my sensation for example, the whole digitizer would press down onto my LCD so i sent it back and got this, the issues i have no is what everyone else is suffering from lol

I'm fairly impressed. I really like having all the buttons on one side with charger on the other. Wakeup with camera button is a great feature for a phone with a great camera, plus the video button is handy too.
One oversight is the camera flash being too close to the camera lense. I also dislike using the phone without a case because there is no traction to hold the phone on the edges.

The Amaze replaced my Nexus S. It took some adjustment but I really like it. I feel I need to be a bit more careful with it as I'd hate to drop it and I don't think it would survive very well due to it's heavier weight.
Still waiting for my gel case to arrive.

Otherwise nice phone.
I like the sturdy quality of the phone, but when the backplate creaks it really ticks me off, especially when the snap-on plastic back cover of the Samsung phones don't creak nearly as loud or as much. Overall, it's a good looking phone, I wish it wasn't as heavy and bulky looking though.

Probably from removing the back cover numerous times to battery pull and/or swap micro SD's, it doesn't creak when in normal usage but when pressure is applied to some points then it's a pretty noticeable sound for me
This might be the first fatality of an Evo LTE. It happened early this morning. I was loading my work truck with pipe for a project and I climbed up to tie down the pipes on the rack. I bent down to reach the ratchet tie and my phone slipped out of my shirt pocket landing face down onto some gravel. The back cover popped off. I climbed down and picked it up, and as I turned it around I saw the damage. Surprisingly I didn't freak out as one would expect. I called the insurance company and after paying the $100 deductible, a new phone will arrive in about 2 weeks. I had just bought the phone on Saturday so I hadn't really enjoyed it much yet.
Being that these phones are still new and some even on back order, I hope I'll be receiving a NEW phone and not a refurbished one. Lesson learned... never putting my phone in my shirt pocket again.

I have Sprint's insurance. Because it's such a new phone the insurance company doesn't have any stocked yet. That's why I'm hoping that means I'll be getting a new phone instead of reburbished.

I was walking in to work today and I bumped my leg and my phone slipped out of my hand and landed smack down on the screen on concrete tile. I had the blue silicon gel case from sprint on it and from what it looks like it survived. However if I apply any pressure on the bottom of the phone below the home button on the plastic that touches the metal it makes a cracking sound like the plastic is rubbing together, and that could just be that small back plastic piece where the speaker is, does anyone else's phone make that sound?

I have the Developers edition, and just noticed today the front glass seems to be uneven, and not sure if that is normal or a defect on the unit I have.
The top part of the glass by the ear piece is raised up slightly causing a "lip". Noticed it when I went to scroll down from the top. The bottom of the glass seems slightly lowered. So it seems the glass is not level, just trying to see if this is intended as part of the design or not.

There was another thread about this. In that thread it was determined that probably all of the One's are built this way. A very slight rise above the spkr grille at the top of the phone and the opposite at the bottom. If you find one that isn't this way maybe you could call that one defective.
Why is something like this considered a build "issue"? This is getting really childish. I'm beginning to feel like Samsung trolls have managed to infect otherwise sane minds with derogatory interpretations of what reviewers are calling the best built android phone ever. HTC is not a crap company and they build outstanding phones. The more I see threads talking about what a load of problems and crappy build issues this phone has the more I wonder if there's some bad drugs in the water.
No problem discussing that you noticed this, but why is it more proof that the One is riddled with crappy construction issues, when CLEARLY it is not. Mine is perfect, it's one of the most interesting and meticulous built phones I've ever seen. The way the screen is higher at the top is just one of those factors that make it interesting. Notice that the screen being like that is not a result of crappy build. It's a gorgeous piece of engineering.
I expect to be flamed so don't hesitate, I apologize in advance, I'm in a crappy mood tonight.

There was another thread about this. In that thread it was determined that probably all of the One's are built this way. A very slight rise above the spkr grille at the top of the phone and the opposite at the bottom. If you find one that isn't this way maybe you could call that one defective.
Why is something like this considered a build "issue"? This is getting really childish. I'm beginning to feel like Samsung trolls have managed to infect otherwise sane minds with derogatory interpretations of what reviewers are calling the best built android phone ever. HTC is not a crap company and they build outstanding phones. The more I see threads talking about what a load of problems and crappy build issues this phone has the more I wonder if there's some bad drugs in the water.
No problem discussing that you noticed this, but why is it more proof that the One is riddled with crappy construction issues, when CLEARLY it is not. Mine is perfect, it's one of the most interesting and meticulous built phones I've ever seen. The way the screen is higher at the top is just one of those factors that make it interesting. Notice that the screen being like that is not a result of crappy build. It's a gorgeous piece of engineering.

The weird thing is no matter how much i hate the look of samsung phones, they never seem to have issues like these in my experience, whereas HTC phones, (I had the one x) seem to have something, in that case, the whole body creaked whenever i picked it up. Don't get me wrong, I like HTC phones, but i'm scared to open my htc one's box tomorrow.

I'd be VERY careful doing that, you could end causing other issues. My glass seems normal to me, I think people are making way more of an issue out of this than it is.
I don't understand if you're unhappy then exchange it. You have 14 days if need be.

I haven't seen a single One that doesn't have these issues.. I'm on my second one but the issues are less extreme than they were on the other

Mine has this on the left side, but I never brush my thumb on the "lip" when I pull down notifications, so I'm not going to worry about it.

If this issue was with the s4 or any other phone everyone would just ignore it like its part of how the phone is just made, but since htc has been pushing their build quality on this everyone freaks when there are tiny tiny imperfections

The only thing that even slightly bothers me is the possibility of getting dust under the glass. HTC phones are notorious for this.
But in all honesty this is the best built phone I have ever owned. HTC really got this one right.

Just heat up the front of the phone to resticky the adhesive and instead of clamps put heavy books on it.. Im pretty sure itll work and be less scary to do than with c clamps

My biggest fear of the G3's thin screen glass happened 12hrs after I received the phone. I didn't hardly even get to use the damn thing. Now I'm just sending it to LG for repair. Yes I could purchase the digitizer and do the repair myself but I honestly don't have the time.

By the looks of the damage...does the little frame dent change everything when it comes to LG just replacing the screen itself? Or do you think they will charge for a refurbished?
huh, I would just be more careful.

Just bad luck on my part. All that damage from a fall from about 2ft. I was talking on the phone with the wife and went to tie my shoe and the rest was history.

They are going to send you what they have in Stock, I damaged my G3 in the rain, the week that it came out.
I paid the $150 deductible, and they sent me a brand new G3 in the box, through Asurion.
Could be refurbished, or it could be new, depending on what they have in stock at the moment.
I would recommend a TPU case, and tempered glass.
You can get both on ebay 2-3 day shipping for less than $20.

I'm actually sending it to the LG repair center in Fort Worth, TX. Same price you paid but direct for LG.
I had intended to get the case and tempered glass this friday when I got paid. Dumb luck just couldn't wait till then. lol

Yup, done that before. I somehow have cat like reflexes when I feel my phone is compromising gravity.

Lol. I tried and all but dove on the damn ground to grab it but yeah...didn't work out.
These phones are slicker than the g2..
I got a cheap bump case as soon as I felt the back of this phone
Almost as though grip is the last thing these manufacturers want you to have. Think about it. We have octocore now. And still we have metal frame and plastic backs or soft grip backs with slippery ass metal frame. Makes no logical sense other than looks and money in damges are a sure business ...lol. Remember that time when most phones had that rubberized metal? Hmmmm. Lol

I was more pissed that I didn't listen to myself and get a damn case and glass screen protector. Just wish the damn glass wouldn't of shattered. I could of lived with a little dent in the frame but the whole thing going out just poured salt into the wound.
Yup, did the same. Fell 2 feet, exploded. My replacement is in an Otterbox
lol, i was afraid of this happening when the wife had hers hit the ground. she had it stuffed under her leg in the seat and when she got out, lol, yeah it went flying. luckily it just put a small ding in the frame. she was REAL lucky.
I wish that was all I got....ending up with both really hurt.
Consumers vote with their wallets for thin phone with thinner bezels. Unfortunately, that translates to more fragile phones, too.

yeah, she was extremely lucky..no money to replace/ fix it. but we have cases and the hard glass protectors in route and should see them by Christmas, as well as my replacement phone. (radio went dead, sprint tech said its a common thing. who knows, just glad my is being replaced.)

Common? I doubt it. I don't think I've read another post here, or on the other big Android forums, about the radios dying. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think it's common.

Sure, most cell phone owners aren't on these forums. But many people do join when they have a problem. I actually think we see more problems on the forums than the population in general.

lol, not the majority of the population i know. that what they use the carrier stores for. very few if any know about rooting...if they can do it from the play store..for the ones that understand it, thats as far as they go.
i started here a few years ago when i got my moto photon, i wanted it more me, but all i did was root, change themes, once changed boot logo and i think once changed the rom. as for my galaxy 10.1, its running a 4.4.4 ROM from nameless. the lg g3 is the first real smartphone for me, but my 2nd LG..lol, first one was in 03 and not even close to a smart phone and im here to learn more about it and to make it more me. this phone is actually worth it.
