I was cruising the boards this morning as is my normal morning ritual. I came across a thread on XDA that caught my eye. *Click* A good thread title grabs my attention in the same way a good headline in a newspaper does… Oh wait… I don’t actually read the paper copy of the Paper anymore but you know what I mean.
You have got to be kidding me!
As I read the original post in this thread I find myself laughing. “Why?” I find humor and in the nonchalant manner that is displayed by the OP. It almost reads as if he intentionally dropped his device on the tile flooring of his kitchen. I see no “I accidentally bumped my phone off the counter” which leads one to conclude that this was intentional. Can someone please explain the thought process behind the “I have a plastic case on my device so it’s fine if I drop it on my tile flooring because it is now indestructible inside this plastic case” mentality. Seriously! I can’t imagine intentionally dropping a mobile device for any reason even if it is fitted with a “high quality” plastic case.
I am overlooking the fact that this guy appears to be whining about how long it took him to accomplish the recently released S-off exploit for the HTC Rezound. I’ll ignore it even though this looks like the real reason for his thread and not busted screen.
By the way, good luck with your efforts to get a free replacement from Big Red. Physical damage by any cause will result in less than desirable results. I sure hope he had insurance on this device because warranty will not cover this.
Edit
Oops! I just “broke” my screen… Oh no!
Hmm… This looks suspiciously like the same “broken” screen the guy from XDA had. I wonder how that’s possible?
Wow! Look what I found…
The “fix” is to hit the menu key.
