Just a rant and i wont be getting another samsung phone in a while

Just dropped my phone from about a foot and a half and yep, screen cracked, it even fell flat!
Screen is scratched too before this incident! Had enough tbh, all the faults etc. Im definitly going back to HTC next round. My htc desire lasted 2 years with 1 small scratch. This is less than a year old. Grr

Ps, also my 200£ headphones went in the wash this week. Happy days.

Im just gonna live with it.
 
Is it the Galaxy Nexus? That doesn't have Gorilla Glass, it has slightly strengthened generic glass with an oleophobic coating. It shatters and scratches more easily than most.

Yes it is, ill pay more attention in future as to the glass used! But tbh i been put off enough by other samsung things. A bit irrational? Yes but im feeling irrational atm

Its usable but very annoyong!
 
Some people also wrongly assume that toughened glass is invincible, it's still glass and it will still crack in certain situations.
 
I've had my Nexus since launch and it doesn't have a single scratch on it and it has never been in a case. I'm sure there are posts out there on the internet about handsets made by Apple, HTC, Motorola, LG and Sony not fairing well after a drop.

It's luck of the draw, a Google search will reveal plenty of cases of Gorilla glass being smashed.
 
If it's gonna crack it's gonna crack, Gorilla Glass/iPhone/HTC or whatever, it was meant to be for that particular phone.

No point holding a grudge against one maker...just accept your fate and move on? :p
 
Screen/shell/combination is a lot less tough than my desire was. No doubt. Its the height of the drop and the surface and also it fell flat that gets me!

Im holding a grudge lol, next phone will defo be a htc
 
it was the drop that broke the screen it is very possible that your desire never had that kinda drop the gnexus did.. ?!
 
fell from foot and a half and screen cracked? now here I was thinking the screen shouldn't crack unless the fall is off the empire state building etc ;)

p.s. I also have the htc desire, its lasted me almost 2 1/2yrs.
 
Also its not just the crack, its the charging issue, signal dtop problem,greyed out wifi.. Also guessing i wont be able to get the other faults fixed now due to the screen crack
