So, it finally happened. Had the phone a while, so it was bound to soon enough. Dropped mt Lumia 920 from about 4 feet onto solid concrete, and it didn't like it. The result aesthetically is a ding in the top corner and the gap between polycarbonate and glass widening in that corner.
Also, perhaps more worryingly, the phone is making a much louder noise than before when shaken. From brief research I was told it's probably the battery. In said threads, OP was always advised to return the phone. Are there any problems that come from a battery that moves a bit when shaken?
And finally, the gap widening a bit makes me wonder, is this phone now more susceptible to rain damage? If I take my phone to a Nokia Care Centre and tell them these things, is there anything they can actually do? Is there anything I can do to preserve the phone.
I didn't plan on upgrading for another year, but may be forced to (or downgrade to a Lumia 520) until WP9 comes around, so ideally I don't want to be switching everything around.
Thanks for reading, HP.
