If it looks like a scratch.. Even if its on coating.. Its still a scratch

Since I've taken some flak on the previous thread regarding my statement above... I figure that some elaboration and update is warranted.

I was travelling last week using the phone quite extensively as both gps, surfing for info, translate and camera (shot 10GB worth of photos and clips) and the problem keep popping up often enough to be worrisome as I was relying on the phone for everything.

Oh.. there's also the issue of google maps location being quite inaccurate showing my location popping from one place to another place. My wife's ip6+ didn't have that issue and my M9 used during the last trip didn't have such issues too.

Strange enough, it was spot on accurate when I wasn't travelling.

Anyhow, it got annoying enough that I updated the firmware (something I wouldn't do otherwise when travel) and the problem went away. Well... except the google maps location thing... that still got all over the place.

Yeah its my first samsung. And i thought htc first firmware was bad.

As for google map, its strange cos my wife also using google maps on ios with no problem. And i have no problems with it in Taipei.

Yes.

I've only encountered the issue when I was in Tokyo last week.

At first I thought it could be interference or something but same thing happens in the countryside (Hakone).

Sometimes it shows my correct location and suddenly jumps showing my location one street away. Sometimes even back and forth.

Yesterday i went to coat my phone (3rd time since i got it) so i tok kok with some shop fellas in taipei. Apparently that glass protector got new version that is supposed to improve touch sensitivity. The first version that i tried on another customer phone was atrocious.

That and it traps water between the display and protector if u get ur phone wet

What protector is that?

Finally uploaded some of my vacation photos.

Brought my camera, 5 lenses, 3 batteries, tripod and end up shooting 99% of photos on the S7

The S7's not perfect but its so much more convenient and does the job pretty well.

Let me know what you think:

Thanks

Long time moved to jpegs liao... for all my cameras.

I see that you've quit the hobby.

Digital zoom is definately a big NO NO.

If you absolutely positively have to crop, then do it on a computer.

Last years Tokyo trip already had much Fuji lovin

This trip was a bit more hectic as I had to lug luggages around + wife + kids. So its nice to have a fast and good-enough "camera" in the pocket.

No mention of audio at all?

Some of you guys might have watched it already.

Interesting watch though

Eat more rice

Mostly sooc.

Had to sort out over 1000 photos

Well Computex is just around the corner.

I'm curious to see if the S7E can handle those complex and backlit portraits aka showgirl shots.

Which is a bummer since i didnt get it before my vacation. Distortions galore.

Itu manade nekkid? Got pakai bra

I think Samsung purposely designed the edge to be used with a case.

Otherwise, why the back glass more easy to get fingerprint and more easy to pecah.

Any idea when samsung lens cover is coming out?
