QUOTE(blacktubi @ Mar 22 2016, 09:48 PM) I only manage to get 3 hours+. That is not much better than my Note 3. Try gps enabled. It's unbelievable what gpsd could do when you disable gps.BT, NFC, GPS, Rotation disabled Thanks, do update us about the waterproofing. I afraid that our waterproof seal will be affected even for warranty repair. |

QUOTE(rahuldave @ Mar 22 2016, 09:01 PM) Anyone here using Samsung S-View Original Flip Cover. I'm thinking of getting this instead of the original Samsung Clear View Flip Cover. Hope to hear some comment on this. If you were to get the Clear View case, always make sure you have a screen protector first. There's various cases of the hard plastic flip scratching the screen for previous Clear View cases (for S6 Edge, Note 5, etc.)Anyhow, the Clear View is indeed way more beautiful than the S-View cover. The S-View actually spoils the look of the S7 edge, to be honest. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Mar 22 2016, 10:04 PM) I I guess it is pure luck. Tried that. No difference. I hope Samsung is able to provide a 1 to 1 exchange like Apple. I believe if the seals are replaced properly, waterproofing will be retained. It depends on the competency of the technician I guess. QUOTE(alvin ong @ Mar 22 2016, 10:05 PM) If they reassemble it the same way they took it apart, I'm sure the waterproofing would still be there right? Provided they use the proper seal QUOTE(Underwood @ Mar 22 2016, 10:08 PM) QUOTE(K1d0 @ Mar 22 2016, 10:20 PM) I think without proper tools its hard for them to have waterproofing again. If you watch jerryrigit, you wills ee their waterproofing mostly based on some sort of rubber or glue to seal it. Which I believe its not that easy without proper equipment and tools. Correct based on jerry and other tear it down vids. the phone's water proofing it just being glued together on the front and back to the chasis. theres no seal or nothing on the glasses. (only the ports) Sad but true.Yeah will do |

QUOTE(eugenetwh @ Mar 22 2016, 09:13 PM) customer service from 2 separate centre told me that the waterproofing warranty will be gone. Means they cannot guarantee that the phone is still IP68 complied. since the phone is disassembled. Learnt few things today Thanks for finding out more about this.1. Hardware warranty all will still be carried on according to the warranty period 2. If the screen does happen to crack or shatter again, (warranty for everything will be voided) 3. After screen replacement, IF YOU wet your phone and water sips through. Samsung DOES NOT cover the warranty. Since you mentioned "3. After screen replacement, IF YOU wet your phone and water sips through. Samsung DOES NOT cover the warranty.", so does this mean that Samsung WILL cover the warranty for wet / water-seap damage for S7 edge units which have not been repaired before? |

(only the ports) Sad but true. In this regard, Samsung should actually do both the rubber glue / seals and fully nano-coat the internal electronics such as Liquipel or using Motorola's proprietary nano-coating to make the electronics water-resistant. But then again, nano-coats alone cannot really provide full IP68 performance (IIANM) and they may have their own shortcoming too (e.g. heat dissipation may no longer be good).

I'm not sure if Samsung can detect such 'misuses'. Sony probably learnt their lesson on this too and that's why they are no longer mentioning that their phones are waterproof. |

Since Sony waterproof with glue, probably they can't honor the warranty anymore.
But I do find it weird that Samsung can't honor them as well. Why? Personally I replaced my S6e screen before and one of the item that was charged into the billing was a repair kit. According to the service advisor, it's those tapes that glued the back glass to the unibody chassis. If they clean it up properly, then reapply a new layer of the tape on the S7e chassis, theoretically they should be waterproof it. I don't think there will be different from manufacturing except this time it will be done by hand instead of robot. |
