Do NOT go snorkeling with your Note 4 in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was the day of my friend's wedding and the groom and I wanted to go snorkeling before the sunset wedding......and well, I was out there about 30 minutes before realizing it was still in my swimsuit pocket.....
I knew there was probably no hope, doused it with alcohol, rice'd it for over a week......and of course it's dead. I luckily had my Note 3 with me in Hawaii so I switched to it, and I got myself a Nexus 6 for christmas...thankfully.
But here's a picture of the inside to cringe at!

First off, great username. Second, OUCH. Nice pic of the mess though, kinda one of those "and now I know" things.
You could always try an ultrasonic cleaner. I've brought back some phones back from the dead. Used isopropyl alcohol and ran them through couple times if they were really bad. Scrubbed everything with a toothbrush after and ran though the cleaner one last time. Sometimes you get some parts you might have to change out but something is better than nothing...
You're either from Hawaii or a climate that doesn't get snow. Somebody who only gets 3 months of warm weather would never have this issue.

Thanks for the pic that is crazy! It is hard to tell from the pic where are the other liquid damage indicators besides the one behind the battery. My 2 day old note 4 took a dive in the toilet and I got it out after a couple days all is back to normal but I was wondering if I tripped and damage indicators. Thanks

Note 4 isn't water resistant... never was.
Man, that's unfortunate. At least you had the backup. I would say the thing that really killed it was salt-water. If you were in fresh water there may have been a chance, but that salt water messes stuff up quick.
Stop it with the snide comments. There is no need to be childish. Thread cleaned. Last warning.
And now we continue with our regularly scheduled program.

Hello, I just made this underwater video with defy :
Have fun !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrnNI9rc4FQ
Yep, nice vid, not seen any women showing tech around here like that.. ;0)
looks like the phone footage, when it's playing video, is recorded not in the water
I agree. The viewing angle goes from barely visible to without any glare/reflection/with perfect colours/contrast almost instantly.
But then.. I doubt realism is the real object of the video
I approve of this video.
i forgot to look at the phone
You really should put a NSFW tag on this....lots of people check these forums from work and nudity is the last thing you expect on a board like this.
Not saying there is anything wrong with your video ... but I think fair warning is in order.
Very nice video indeed.
Surprised that's still on youtube..
But yeah.. Two thumbs up.

Ok guys, I need some help here, I don't get it.
I've seen the video 5-6 times now, are you SURE there's a phone in it?

YIKES!
Could you try the same thing with an iPhone 4?
Ummm,... I have the sudden urge to swim....
Weren't you afraid of what could happen to your cellphone after being underwater like that? I mean, after some time watching people doing that on several videos on youtube I decided to test my phone and I can tell you that it freaked me out the last time I did that! It was submerged in a regular sink and for less then 10 secs, and everything seemed to be ok, but a few minutes later my phone went kinda crazy. I couldn't pull down the top bar, and it kept going black (as if the screen had been locked) but it wouldn't come back, so I had to take out the battery to turn it on again. I swear to God I thought I had lost it, but after a while, I fully charged the battery and let it inside my car under the sun for a couple of hours, so it started to work properly again. But after I got a scratch on my gorilla glass, and after this underwater episode, I'm done playing with these "life proof" features.
And how did you manage to record using 720p ?????? Just a smal detail really isn't it?

That's funny. What was expected? It's dust proof, and water resistant to 1 M, not grind in gravel proof, and can go to the bottom of the ocean.
me too!!

It spent about 10 mins in the pool in the end was surprised myself
I was worried about it breaking when being removed but after seeing this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXqnQKs-tA&feature=player_embedded
WOW
i thought it was cheap but !!!!!!!

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic
Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here
This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.
Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol
that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue
im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.
Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?
I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.
thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)
lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it
Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one
No way.. I wont try it
When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one
Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!
I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD
Hi,
I got mine this morning.
Set it up and it all went smooth until i noticed the drop down menu on the web browser started going fuzzy. the whole image went weird for about 5 seconds then came back.
The other thing i wanted to point out is that the battery life is terrible, Infact terrible is an understatement. It only lasted about 20 mins and kept beeping to recharge, i am planning to charge it for 8 hours then test it again before flushing it down the toilet.

You need to charge to phone before using it. It doesn't come pre-charged usually.
this thread made me laugh
I don't and will never use the word troll.
Theres no way a phone this size will make it round the S-bend of a toilet. Do you eve know how much Dyno-Rod charge to unblock sanitation pipes!?!?! Don't do it!!!
In Egypt I see donkeys almost everyday but you take the cake. You should not be allowed near a HTC or a toilet for that matter. Jackass.

Forget that, guys. This thing is a joke -- when I put my ear next to the headphone jack, I can't even hear any music coming out, and when I put the phone on top of my printer it wouldn't print my photos either.
HTC are obviously idiots and this is the worst. Phone. EVER!!!!!1!111!ONES
Lol this guy is probably trying to charge the phones with the earbuds. THE BATTERY WONT STAY CHARGED!
Please remember to charge new devices before using them. Failure to do so will cause horrible battery life.

crazy video
damn,its water proff...BIG LIKE!!!
never come s3
look this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e3ri6vrmPbc
I'm kinda confused, a lot of people complaining about screen being prone to scratch, a lot complaining about not being gorilla glass etc etc...
As the other guy how had his one x going down from the second window floor and still working fine.
Had switch my yellowish Xperis S to th one X that arrived at home today but i'm on a trip so tomorrow is a big day, huge expectation about it after frequenting this forum for like 2 weeks now!
Hopefully no screen flex, bad screen ripple, gps or any other issue!

How can that be possible cant belive ...
Wow these videos are amazing, at least i don't have to worry about my phone too much now. Especially after that one dude on here dropped his from a window and it survived
Beat that SIII
Shock & awe!
just plain wow! Now I'm prouder with my HTC One X more than ever!
Next time I get into an argument with an iPhone or Samsung user, I'm gonna smash his brains in with my HOX!!!!
Even better, someone should do a phone fight off video, where they smash the phones against each other, like HOX vs SIII or HOX Vs iPhone!!!
One day before my protective screen arrived I accidentally dropped my work phone over the HOXs' screen. It's a heavy blackberry and I was sure it would have damaged the screen. To my surprise there was not a single micro scratch there. Nonetheless the protective screen arrive and I´m happy to have it on
My HOX got run over
So today i dropped my HOX and my mates car ran it over... needless to say i was crapping my pants when i was picking it up to see the damage but to my surprise nothing!!!!! Not even a scratch, dent or anything! I am using a plastic case and a screen protector so that would have absorbed a lot of the punishment but still very happy no damage to the phone!

So you want a pic of my working phone? cause there isn't anyway that i'm going to let her get runover again haha
Is yours kinda bulgy and lumpy, does it sit almost half way out of the phone?
I noticed mine has a few bumps and bulges where the 3 batteries are and that made me wonder if one of more of them were exploded and if it'd still work with one part being exploded and the rest one or two not being impacted by it.

Mines like that to so I wouldn't worry about it if anything they probably would maybe send you a different one
Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The back of mine is bumpy, two bumps where the top two batteries are then bottom battery is solid and flat but sits in the compartment rather cockeyed raising up up and out at a angle... Also I typically get a days use out of it now suddenly. Bought it used, dunno if it was defective or I damaged it by keeping phone on a constant charge more so than usual. But I thought/figured the two top batteries were supposed to be at a solid flat level, not a humpity hump level.
Bumps....yeh
Got those too....but the ZL works perfectly...g

As long as you don't like bend it or get it really really hot you'll be alright man you will notice the phone messing up and not charging stuff like that if it goes bad
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here's the battery, even the tech at the phone repair shop said that's not normal. Also the bulging got so bad the cover wouldn't fit anymore, around the s-pen slot it would never stay sealed and closed there,
