QUOTE(blacktubi @ Mar 22 2016, 09:48 PM) I only manage to get 3 hours+. That is not much better than my Note 3. 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. Try gps enabled. It's unbelievable what gpsd could do when you disable gps.

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.

QUOTE(K1d0 @ Mar 22 2016, 11:07 PM) That tape and waterproof is totally a different things. the tape is just to assemble back the screen but it do not have waterproof function. The only explanation I can think off is they do not have proper tools to redo the whole waterproofing, after they fix but this does not mean it's not water proof it might still waterproof but there is chance of water go in. That's why to save theirself they will state to customer that after fixing no warranty for waterproofing anymore. Different? Jerry video took the back cover apart and there's nothing that sealed it except the tape. Of course the S6e is not water proof and I'm not referring to it. I'm just saying regardless of the repair, once they open the back cover, they will change the tape. Why they can't seal it back properly? More like excuse than anything. Unless if you dropped the phone and the aluminium chassis is so badly deformed that it would compromise the water proofing.

QUOTE(Vape On @ Mar 22 2016, 11:32 PM)  Those are not double sided tape. Those adhesive need special material to cure for instance UV light etc. And how are they going to test the water proof? Repair is easily. Testing and debug is the hard part. Samsung dont test them as well. Probably 1 or 10 in a million get pulled and tested randomly.

QUOTE(shockk @ Mar 24 2016, 01:12 PM) Stop using the stock browser. I believe it is poorly optimised. My friend uses the stock browser and causes hang once a while too. I'm using Chrome browser since I got my s7 edge and so far no issues. Wow... so much hatred for Samsung... Samsung optimized the stock browser with hardware acceleration. Only stock browser had hardware acceleration enabled.

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 24 2016, 02:39 PM) Since lollipop on Note 3, I have been using stock samsung browser. Fast smooth and no issues. Once change to s7e, it got way way better, even faster n smoother, loading time is like instant. See no reason to go back to other browser. Note 3 cannot compare. However Samsung had done serious hardware acceleration since S6 last year. Even review site purposely mention it many times liao. Only stock browser can get this hardware acceleration enabled.

QUOTE(- JaY - @ Mar 24 2016, 05:56 PM) i think it vibrates and rubs against the table. just putting it down without moving the phone wont become that bad. s6e is worse because the home button is more "lifted". You can see my S6E home button condition in my garage sales thread. Its not that bad and I have been using it naked for almost a year.  Lifted or not also didn't matter. How many people actually put their phone screen down rubbing against table or whatever? My S6e also used naked since day 1 and no problem at all. That pic looks like someone trying really hard to scratch it to make a point.

QUOTE(eugenetwh @ Mar 26 2016, 01:09 PM) Guys. finally sent my phone to repair the shattered screen. A different Service Assistant told me. That after they replace the screen assembly. they will test it to make sure everything is working like new including IP68. yes, they have the tool to test it in the service centre which i assume (washing it and soaking it in a small fish tank) They wll make sure it is water resistant IP68 complied before giving us the phone. That is the way it should be. Once they replaced the screen, they will replace all the adhesive which make the phone water resistant.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 27 2016, 05:55 PM) After some times you will get used to it. When I first hold S6 Edge also facing this issue but now I never ever got such issue anymore holding S7 Edge. The oily surface on the glass will be gone after few months. Anyway, S7e is more prone to this problem than S6e when you tried one hand with it.

QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Mar 28 2016, 01:08 AM) Blackout at my place. Got opportunity to really put S7 edge camera for some really low light test! This pic had only moon light and some cars passing by as the light source. Using Pro mode. Handheld rested on a static place. 2 seconds of exposure. ISO is kept at low as possible. [attachmentid=6248723] Im just wondering. Does the exposure make any difference on these camera without mechanical shutter?

QUOTE(un_id @ Mar 29 2016, 08:08 PM) I use the web browser and email more than whatsapp.. just need a few seconds to read whatsapp msg, and another few seconds to reply.. there are probably just 2 active whatsapp groups.. i said whatsapp probably drain my battery was because the battery drain is kinda paculiar today, since i enable whatsapp last night.. or maybe other app running in background Whatsapp group does drain battery quite seriously even on my S6e. There was once where a friend passed away and I was added to the group. The bombardment of 2k++ messages over the next 60minutes drain my battery like hell. Update: And I didnt even read them... it just keep buzzing only... the temp was like when using Fast Charger to charge the phone. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by andrekua2: Mar 29 2016, 08:31 PM

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 29 2016, 08:34 PM) Your s6e is still in lollipop? If yes, then it's kind of predictable. My OPO is still in lollipop. Everytime I switched to data network, the whatsapp would always be on the top in the battery usage list, eventhough there's only a few messages coming in.  QUOTE(WiLyi @ Mar 29 2016, 08:38 PM) Did you enable auto backup to gdrive? I suspect maybe there is some connection issue while performing the backup and whatsapp is constantly establishing connection to do the backup and this would drain lot of battery. Other than that it's very unusual for the battery drain. I have abt 20 to 50 whatsapp msg daily and it uses less than 10% of my battery After I quit the group, everything went back to normal. So definitely is Whatsapp group causing massive battery drain. I had other groups too but smaller one like 3-5 person and never encounter similar problem.

So jealous Andrewtst get a sweet reunion with Kuli dupe...
