Dropped in the potty, will be buying another. I have taken this one apart to look around inside. Wanted to check for memory card and any other color change water damage stickers inside--there is one. ---------I am also going to take vid of the strength of the screen. Ima try to scratch the hell out of it, and see what it takes to break/crack the screen as well , interested in seeing how durable it is. Update later -

Very interesting. Couldn't wait to see it and sorry it happened to ya.
Perhaps you can make a step-by-step vid instruction on how to disassembling and reassembling the Amaze as it will be very helpful for others in case they needed it.

agreed, teardown sticky ftw!
phone isn't ruined water does not damage the phone, only if there was chlorine in the water like a pool. Only thing that can get damaged by the water is the LED bulbs and a new LCD display will be needed at most that's worst case scenario. I fix water damaged phones all the time. Stick it in a bowl of dry rise for a few days that some times help.
@ celltimemb. I didnt know bout the LED fix. Good to know. BUT- I didnt drop it in then pull it out. A kiddie put it there and i found it there later. Put the cell on calcium chloride (Damp-rid) I use this to pull moisture out of many things. Didnt help so i figured pay the deductible and play with the remains. --Yeah i'll do a tear-down vid before the screen test. I had it apart already-I will have s/o record me this wknd.
I think you should re-enact the toilet scene too.

Elaborate please ?
I was under the impression youd have to get lucky there wasnt much current going through for the water damage to be survivable. ((i.e if youre in the middle of web surfing when it takes a dip its likely a goner))
I'm curious too. Does it depend on the phone also? I have friends who dropped their *phones in and it wouldn't work anymore. Probably a Apple thing though.

I have (in the past 15 years or so) revive quite a few cell phones after water damage. What I usually do is to remove the battery immediately and start drying the device completely using air conditioner and hair dryer. Corrosion will kill the mainboard so when I have a driver handy, I open up the case and dip it in a bowl of rice, too.
I don't think we can revive batteries after fully soaked in water, though.
The worst case was when my friend went ocean swimming with his iphone in his pocket. We did everything but it didn't come back. But when he replaced his battery a few days later, the phone came back on.
Doing the screen test, any ideas on what to use and ways to scratch it? I have some ideas. I have the shatter/crack test figured out already.

Excellent video. Thanks for the information.
I wish I didn't have such a perfectionist mind and be crazy about the smallest imperfections, but really HTC, you need to get your **** together. I upgraded to the Evo3D because I had replaced my Evo4G screen 2 times already because of issues with dust and had my hopes very high that by upgrading to the 3D I might finally be able to avoid the problem. Little did I know, I was mistaken. I lurked for many days for some insight into the whole dust situation before even buying the Evo3D and could only find rare occurences so I figured I should be fine. 2 Months later I have one spec of dust. I said okay, its small enough that maybe I can let this one go, but then today I noticed 5 pieces total. This is a quality control issue and I have tried going to the repair center for sprint and they said it was not covered under the TEP plan. What bull****, and HTC wont fix it either. I'm in no mood to fight this issue with them again that this is a manufacturing defect so I decided I'm going to leave the HTC scene. I really regret to even resort to this but I'm very heavily contemplating an iPhone 4, mainly because of the build quality, and the fact that the screens are all on top of one another, there are no open spaces between any of the sheets of glass, therefore there is no room for dust to squeeze its way in there.
If anyone has any way to get the dust out before I jump ship, or rip my head off, please give me some insight. I really love the android community, and it's been very good to me. Thanks in advance.

Let me rephrase this in the form of a question, Alex. (I actually am interested in the answer because I can't read my clock on sunny days due to the dust.)

I take VERY good care of all my phones, and never have these problems. I don't even use a case on my phone. At most, a matte screen protector.
But in all honesty, you probably should've sprung for the TEP plan. I recommend EVERYONE getting it. And if you get an iPhone, you CAN'T get it through Sprint. You'll have to buy Apple One Care, which I think turns out to be more expensive (I may be wrong).

Lifted it out ... after getting it super hot to make the adhesive gooey, right? I've actually built an EVO 3D from parts laying around, and other parts I ordered online. I don't recommend anyone else do this, it was brutal, but it works 100%.
The other big lesson I learned from ordering on-line: While the website may say: "Brand new parts" they may arrive and you find they are brand new, but did not actually pass quality standards in the factory! The 3D I built has tiny, hair-line scratches in the digitizer! Most time you never notice, but "Brand new parts" doesn't actually give you the full story.
Sorry, ranting here.

My phone has a dust spray on the bottom right corner. Been there since I bought. I'm living with it now since it's out of the way and doesn't usually bother me. But I agree that it's terrible that the phone was shipped this way. I do have Sprint TEP plan but been too lazy to go in.
I've had two HTC phones and do really like them but I'm moving to a Samsung next time for sure. Probably replace this before I buy a new one then sell it. HTC phones are beginning to all look too much the same. Time to move on.
I have the cheap $4 (not including the damage loss) TEP but:
1) I don't want to lose my 1.4 bootloader and get a lousy reman unit.
2) since a bunch of updates (thanks, freeza), it has stopped rebooting at random, which was the only reason I got TEP in the first place
I fear that blowing air in the left side (headphone jack) might move the forest (presently in the upper right) downward, not just rightward. I'm tempted to cancel the TEP and just break it open for a proper cleaning.
I think this was a qc issue. My old evo was 100% clean under the screen. This 3d, after fewer months in the same environment) looks like a freaking dryer vent.
I was very disappointed to see the matte finish wear off after only a few weeks on my HTC one x. With this one I'm thinking that the back may be a scratch magnet. Anyone have significant scratching on the back yet?
in pouch all the time, no chance to scratch it
Carry mine naked (the phone not me) and not a single mark on it yet. It may be to soon to tell but so far so good..
I panicked when I realized that my keys were in the same pocket as my phone. But not a scratch yet.

No scratches on the body, but like the guy before me I accidently dropped my phone into my pocket with keys, I got a couple small little nicks on the bezel but you can only see them on an angle. I'm going to see if I can polish them out. I googled it and saw that a normal kitchen sponge with the one rough side gets them out, Also heard toothpaste and just ordered some aluminum polish.
Other people only noticed when I show them, and my GF said I have severe OCD because the nicks are so tiny. She is right. It's not really noticeable to anyone but me, but it's driving me insane!

I'm going to go see if I can find some information about the durability of the black one over on the international forum.
Not looking so good for the black one so far, it seems they chip really easily near the top above the camera. So sad, because its so nice looking.
I think I've seen finish problems on every single One variant thats been released from HTC...

This isn't one of those times. The buttons on the dummy phone are not usable, it's ridiculously light, and the feel is somewhat different. The real phone was sturdier and had functional buttons, of course. They were both set out on the same day in each store and the dummy looks terrible now while the real phone looks perfect. It's a pretty decent indicator of the dummy phone being made with cheaper materials.

I just don't believe that HTC would have spent the time to assemble a phone that isn't going to be functional since it apparently takes a lot of time to assemble the aluminum body for the HTC One.

No scratches on the aluminium surface but the beats audio red logo and writing have almost disappeared. White 'audio' writing still there.
I dropped my One on hardwood and it rolled over onto a brick ramp (I was at the entrance to a restaurant) and skidded down it on its back. There are some deep scratches on the back and scuffs, but it's okay. Definitely want to put a case on it if you plan on using it out on the street

The matte finish wears off much more easily because the material was plastic. Microscopically, a matte finish is just an unpolished, jagged surface. Since it's plastic, it's not hard enough to be able to withstand the forces exerted on it when rubbed by your pocket/hand/table long enough so it gets polished over time (check out a computer mouse that's been used for a long time). This is completely different than scratching or chipping, which is a complete removal or deformation of the material. The nice thing about plastic is that because it's soft, it's much easier for hairline scratches to "heal" over time as the surface gets rubbed on.
The aluminum back will definitely maintain the matte finish better than plastic because it is a harder material. Drawback is that since it's harder, it's also more brittle so it's more subject to chips/nicks and hairline scratches will stick around forever.
TL : DR Material properties are a *****. The matte finish (it's actually a bead blasted finish) will stick around for awhile as long as your hands/table/pockets aren't made of sandpaper or things harder than aluminum.
This phone is tough I don't know why people are claiming it is bending or breaking easily.
Last night I dropped my phone from face height onto concrete. A loud bang as it hit the ground and the Sim card came flying out. I assumed it was dead.
Picked up the phone and no broken glass anywhere. Not even a scratch.
Popped the sim back in and it is working fine.
Only two little chips in the paint job on one corner of the phone from that brutal drop. Posted pics of the little cosmetic damage on top right of phone.
Tested camera and no issues. Can't believe this huge screen and the camera glass survived a five+ foot drop onto concrete in the rain!
Sorry photo quality is lacking. I had to use my wife's iPhone to take the pics
mine folded in half then did a back spin and blew up into a million pieces, this was after a lighter was put to the screen accidentally just before i dropped it
On a serious note, good to see that it can withstand a bit of damage! I have mine in a case and a glass screen protector so hopefully im covered

For the same reason you just claimed it's tough. There's lucky, unlucky, and somewhere in between. One thing I've learned about the internet is no one likes the middle option. Either the phone is durable, or the phone is trash, but never the middle. Things are assumed based on one event on either side of the spectrum.
That's good to see actually but I'm still too worried to use it without a case. It looks like it was a corner drop too, those are the worst!

All the cool kids keep the stickers on the phone. It's like the nerd equivalent of keeping the sticker on your baseball hat.
you are in good luck, i will put on a case as soon as i get mine
But interwebs sez fone desentigrates on contakt.
I think since the front glass is recessed a bit it would take a big drop directly on the glass to shatter. So basically you have to be unlucky
I dropped mine yesterday onto the kitchen floor from at least 4 feet, probably higher. No damage at all, not even a scratch. I have a case and screen protector on order, but they haven't arrived yet.
It seems like I drop every phone I get before I can get a case on it.

This happened to me once. I had a Nexus 5 and MotoX 2013. Was testing them to decide which I liked best. I was using the twist to launch feature showing off to some friends and the Moto slipped from my hands as I was saying something about how grippy it was. Little did I know, the case I ordered was delivered that day and was sitting in my mailbox. MotoX was fine just dinged on the corner.
Since then I've gotten all my cases before the phones arrived. My 6P. Hasn't been naked since I unboxed it. I just slide part of the case open when I sim swap lol

Are you sure your gorilla glass 4 on your visor didnt spontaneously break right after? I mean right after you dropped it but then decided to place it on the table. When you walked away you didnt hear it crack on its own?
I am sitting at work at my desk and I have my phone screen up, I get a couple texts and I DT2W so I can see who they are from. As I do that my phone teters, I notice it immediately and pick it up to see if there was anything under it, nope all smooth, so then I think it's maybe the case wasn't formed evenly (Supcase) so I take the phone out and put the case on the desk, no wobble. So then I lay the phone down and sure enough it wobbles when tapping a corner. It's not bent like you see when people keep their phone in their back pocket and sit on it. Mine is more twisted. When looking at the phone, the top left and bottom right will sit on the table and not wobble, but if you press either the top right or bottom left the phone will wobble back and forth.
I keep my phone in my front pocket and take it out when sitting down,I do sometimes keep it in my pocket when working in attics and such and I have crushed it pretty good when doing so. It's not a major twist and you can't tell when just looking or holding the phone, hopefully it doesn't get any worse.
Anyone else notice this on their phones?
I gave it a firm twist the opposite way and it seems pretty straight now. Maybe even a little bent the opposite way now, dammit haha.

That's wild! Amazing you were able to twist it back ok....
Mine does the same thing whenever I remove my case to clean out the pocket lint. Removing the case puts a lot of stress on the corners and twists it, but it usually goes back to normal after waiting a day or two, or if I twist it back.

I always remove the left side (opposite of the buttons) first, then install the case right side (buttons side) first to avoid putting stress on the buttons. It doesn't bend badly, just enough to wobble when on the table. It almost always sorts itself out after about a day or so.
Mine is currently flat too, until I remove the case for cleaning again...
I guess mine could be from the case too. It is pretty hard to get in and out.
Mines flat for the time being. But now that I've seen it bend I think I will catch myself checking every so often now.

These phones are pretty notorious for bends/warps. There was a thread about it since the beginning that was since locked because of trolls. Both my phones ended up with kinks near the volume button. Never got worse than that though. I'll probably never buy huwaii again though

Ditto, I have the same kink near the volume button. Just bent it back slightly but put a crease in the slanted edge...
Great looking phone but it just the shear size and thickness of the phone I think. The Pixel XL is smaller.
