This is NOT a question about the virtue of water resistance or water proofing a smartphone. So if you don't care for it, or if you don't think it's needed, or if you're going to suggest a waterproof case, please move on.
Can anyone confirm if the HTC 10 has any water resistant rating at all? The month-old rumors of IP68 has died out and I see no mention of it anywhere.
Based on the content of the launch video I would assume not. My guess is if it did have an IP68 rating or similar it would have been highlighted as one of the key features.

IP53, extremely low water protection, decent/good dust protection.
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-10-water-resistant
https://twitter.com/urbanstrata/status/719880334138044416?s=15
Per DroidLife : According to HTC’s online comms manager, Jeff Gordon, the HTC 10 features an IP53 certification.
I guess human obsessions have limits. I wished they'd take it one step further with the metal body outer AND hermetically sealed inner components, but this is what they come out with, which still sounds like a great phone especially with unlocked BL and UH OH protection that covers water damage.
That's not really any different from the previous One M8 or M9... Honestly, even if you told me I could swim with my phone in my pocket, I don't think I'd ever do that. It's just too critical to my life to risk. A slightly better rating would have been nice, but if the trade off is the new boomsound speakers I'll take the speakers over the IP rating.
I'm a bit disappointed HTC didn't go IP68 on this one. I've gotta say, the Samsung demo I saw at Best Buy where the guy threw the S7 in a bowl of water while it was recording video was really cool.

People just want more and more and more without realising technical difficulties. If it had ip68, there would be no great sounding speakers. Look at s7, horrible speakers, same for xperias. If htc actually went with ip68, people would be enraged, like how dare they use such ****ty speakers. Cant make everyone happy
A compromise would be an IP68 "active" version, but I doubt a company with financial issues like HTC could afford to diversify the product lines too much.
I'm pretty sure it's not water resistant because it would degrade the speaker quality and htc isn't about to lose their audio credibility. Every phone I've had that's submersible has had mediocre speakers.

you would never be able to 100% waterproof it with the way mics and speakers works today
if you did it would be deaf and mute
Yeah that's what I was thinking but this combined with the invisibleSHIELD would make your device MUCH more protected.
Too good to be be true comes to mind.
I would test this coating on a cheap electrical device and see how it goes.
I could see the electronic parts such as the circuit boards, small parts, wiring, soldered joints, etc. being coated with a special waterproofing material before assembly which would protect them from moisture but waterproofing after the fact, I have my doubts

well, mics and speakers still work as long as there's a medium between the item and your ears/mouth

They don't make it waterproof, but splash proof. So they're not claiming anything that's too good to be true.

"Sid dropped his Blackberry into a Bucket of Water."
This is how their ad begins with a huge picture showing the above.
They also show another device half submerged in water.
They are representing their coating as more than just splashproof.
So, they are representing what in my opinion, is too good to be true.
I saw this on TV a while back, the Gadget Show I think it was anyway it worked perfectly, I think they did it with an iPod and a phone and then chucked them in water and they still worked fine.
I wonder what would happen if you coated yourself in it... :/

I don't trust what I see on TV most of the time, when it comes to demonstrations.
Now, if there was an independent laboratory that did tests on this product, that's another story.
If there were members here that were using the process, I would definitely listen to their feedback.
Maybe the company could ask for volunteers to test their product on, as "word of mouth" advertising may bring in alot of revenue. But I'm not raising my hand, just in case it doesn't work.
What is our warranty?:
Golden Shellback guarantees that the devices will be weatherproof for 30 days. The product will be replaced or repaired per our choice when exposed to moisture as outlined in the guarantee. A device that has been fully immersed in water will not be repaired or replaced.

How do you figure?
If you put your phone into a ziploc bag, wouldn't you still hear it ring?
Sure, it's quieter, because it takes more power to move plastic bags around than it does to move air around, but saying "deaf and mute" is a little pessimistic...
Seeing is believing. I won't believe until I see it with my eyes.
until then...
...there's a cheaper alternative...
agree - too good - but a bag works...
I'm using this http://www.ortlieb.com/_pdf_en/documentbag.pdf (smallest one) on my touch pro while kayaking.
No problem answering the phone or calling through the bag - and completely waterproof, without voiding any warranty.
Also it is practical to keep it around my neck in its cord - easy to find while checking gps and other software on it.
Not free as a used condom would be, but I think for my purpose it is more practical...

#1 - I think my Defy battery is getting much better. Yesterday, it was off the charger for 19 hours and I was down to 15%. I had almost 3 hours in voice calls, 20 minutes in GPS and almost 2 hours of display time. Does this seem inline with what others have gotten?
#2 - How does the water seal for the earpiece/speakerphone/mic work? Just curious.
#3 - For loose port covers, what about a tiny amount of Vaseline around the edges of the port? That works well for things like gaskets, fridge seals, etc. Alternatively, I was thinking something like liquid rubber to make it a tighter fit. Feedback?
Bump......
#1 - Never used GPS but i have to charge my phone after every 24 hours. I play games for 3 hours (psx), some moderate use on internet for about 2 hours and that's pretty much it.

#3 - Get a cover for motorola defy, if that's what you meanT?

#1 - Ok
#2 - It is submersible to 3 feet. That is a known fact, is published and many on this forum and review sites have tested it under water and it works fine
#3 - Doesn't really answer the question at all???
I have submerged my phone many times and the seals work fine. On mine.
NEVER use Vaseline on your seals as it is a petroleum product and will degrade the rubber. "Stem" grease or O-ring grease, designed for rubber, is what you want.
Yeah, my battery seemed to get better over time and is one of the best on the market IMHO.
A new Defy is waterresistant.
But now that I've opened and closed the covers many many many times I doubt that it still keeps the water out. The space between the body and the bottom of the back cover gets a tiny little bit bigger everytime you open and close it, and the cover for the USB port is not resistant to wear and tear either. In the beginning it was hard to open, now it's hard to close.

It's in no way advertised as such or guaranteed if you submerge it and have problems.
Motorola have very specifically only ever advertised the Defy as 'resistant'.

And I really would dare to take it further than into the shower or into an cup of water. This also becomes clear if you look at how it is engineered to become "water resistant", especially at the backcover.

The term "proof" (water-proof, scratch-proof, etc.) has been phased out of nearly all products for 10+ years due to obvious liability reasons. Even watches are no longer classified as "waterproof" because that would imply water couldn't ever get in, period. They are now listed as "water resistant to X meters". Same here...

But nowhere do Motorola state that the Defy is 'resistant' to a set depth either - so to say that it's a known fact is untrue.
What we know is that some Defys will work at that depth but there will be some people who try it and ruin their phones.

It has been on every major tech blog. Motorola even told people at CES/CTIA that it was 3 feet submersible. Moreover, EVERY tech blog who has tested it submerged never had a problem.
On youtube, lots of people tested Defy taking video under water. I've tested it as well around 1 - 2 feet. Not sure how long it can last underwater.
If worry about damaging the phone, best not to try it out. Prevention is better can cure. But good to know Defy is water resistance, no need to worry when water get spill on the phone.
Motorola suggests that you can go swimming with your Defy, but always do so in terms which are full of weasel words and not legally binding. If you try and your phone drowns Moto will hide behind the small print, which doesn't say anything about being water resitant to any depth.
Don't bet your phone on tech blog tests. They all waterboarded new phones. Do you know of any tech blog that dipped a Defy underwater after opening and closing the port covers a few hundred times?
New Defy: take it for a swim.
Defy after three months: better keep it dry.
Here's what Motorola has to say about it:
Motorola said:
Your phone is not designed to float, or work under water.
Water resistance should not be confused with the device being waterproof. If the liquid detect label (located on back of the phone under the battery) is tripped red, the device will be treated as liquid damaged.

I don't know others but my Defy came with a "Water Resistance Warning" in the package:
All protective covers including the Headset jack, USB and battery covers must be securely closed to ensure water resistance.
Damage caused by failing to properly secure the phone's water resistance covers is not covered by the warranty.
THIS PHONE IS NOT WATERPROOF.

That is a canned response they have for every phone obviously.
Hey guys,
Got my hands on a very cool product, the iOttie waterproof skins. These are thin plastic skins that make your device fully waterproof, allowing you to dunk or submerge it in water. At first I was skeptical of the product, but in the video below I actually demonstrate dunking my Galaxy Nexus in a tub of water and it coming out super dry!
If you need a waterproof solution for you device, I really cannot recommend this enough.
Check out the video for the demo dunking test:
I go to the beach quite a bit, even with an Otterbox Defender I still get worried. Thanks for the review!
Sent from AOKP using Tapatalk.
pretty cool -- but unless you just have money falling out of your pocket 20 dollars for this for a single charges worth of protection is a bit steep.
Charging wouldn't be so much an issue with me as I have the induction charging mod on my phone. So I could in theory leave it in it's baggie for weeks (or as long as the material didn't degrade)
Did you try to make any voice calls on the device while it was wrapped? I know it's impossible to listen to any music via the mini jack... bluetooth could solve both of these problems. That being said if your phone is around water, I dont think bringing a 100 dollar bluetooth headset would make too much sense.
Still interesting - if I was rich and could scuba dive in some tropical paradise -- would be interesting to see if you get a signal under water, hah scuba video chat anyone?
You have guts to dump it in the water haha!
The things you do to help out the community!! Thanks a lot!
I used ziplock bags, bought bulk from Costco, for my water trips. I usually double bag them if I am going swimming with it.
Also boat shops, and others such as Academy, also sell waterproof carriers.
Kudos to you for actually going the extreme to test the product. I would never test a product like this. I'd probably just take their word on it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention call quality in the video. I did test it a couple of times and it was very muffled, more than anything the volume output was low, so it was tough to hear the caller on the other line.
I probably wouldn't recommend making calls with the iOttie, however it is possible, so if you desperately need to try it - it will work.

but i dont really give my nexus a try in water pool
It seems work, but I still won't put my nexus into water even with it, thanks for share anyway!

Because our phones are porous. Speaker hole. Headphone jack. Charging port. And other gaps in the body.
A case would have to completely seal off the entire phone to work underwater. Like the previous poster said, the only option for that is a pouch, which is cumbersome, but the only option for underwater photos.
So what is the difference between our phone and say the gs3 or iPhone which are both again porous

Well for one, the rear housing is not sealed. There is very little adhesive keeping the housing stuck to the front. The phone is pretty much open. From right next to the display. I believe GS3 and iP both are very well sealed from the front. It's easier to seal off the back than the front.
Second, I don't think other phones have open speaker holes. This one may neither, but I think it has a greater chance for failure due to the greater number of holes.

I feel it's less about the design and more about which third party companies want to support and make accessories for the One. More or less you're asking for a LifeProof for our phone. And companies like LifeProof don't see the "high" demand and would rather make cases for iphones and galaxies because they're a larger market. If more people asked, I'm sure they would accommodate eventually. (Hopefully)
I did get a reply on lifeproof's Facebook page and they said that they do not have any plans for our phone but thank you for our interest. I'm going to bug them some more.
Apparently this one fits the S3 & S4, I wonder if the One will squeeze in there as well
That would be great if they came out with a water proof case. Hopefully they will come out with one soon.

This.
If you want real protection you should not expect to use the device. A touch screen device can't work reliably with a true solution that allows full submersion with pressure. If you want to take pix underwater they make underwater (capable) cameras or you can shell out the $$$ for a waterproof box for your SLR, etc.

I got my phone for 200 bucks so what i'm saying next is with the price in mind:
To be honest, with the included cover the scratch issue is not that big of a deal
The bend test is an over kill. just don't sit on your phone.
This phone rocks for the price. (I'll say better than my galaxy s7) The only thing i miss is the faster lens on the s7.
The people who take JerryRigEverything's "durability tests" seriously are simply put, dumb. The videos he make are for pure entertainment purpose. Who lights up their phone's screen with a lighter? Are there still people who wouldn't protect their screen with a protector anyway? And seriously who the heck tries to bend their phone in half even if you're a rough user. Dumbness is taking over the people.
I own Honor 6X from about a month, I have about 10 hours SoT daily on my phone. With that kinda usage, I have 0 scratches so on my screen or back so far. And of course no freakin "bends" like it's a metal ruler lol.

There's no excuse for the s-h-i-tty glass used on the Honor 6x. None of the 50 phones he tested had the glass scratch at level 3 or 4. While I somewhat agree with the bending thing, the glass they used on this phone is pure crap.

It's not really about buying a screen protector or not. It's about the inferior quality of the glass Huawei chose to use on this device. It's the worst ever tested out of 50 phones and it's worse than last years 5x. I literally have a drawer full of phones and this is the first test that actually persuaded me to go out and buy a tempered glass screen protector. I never have felt the need before and the screens on all of my devices are still pristine.

It's the worst ever tested out of 50 phones and it's worse than last years 5x. I literally have a drawer full of phones and this is the first test that actually persuaded me to go out and buy a tempered glass screen protector. I never have felt the need before and the screens on all of my devices are still pristine.

Lol mate, you're taking JerryRig's stupid (meant for fun) durability tests way too seriously. His tests are not equivalent to day-to-day usage.
Fair point ?

AGREE I DON'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY TOO.
But, you need to admit the fact that what ever be the day to day use of a device
there is that one day where things are not in your favor and S#!t Happens.
So, understanding the worst case scenario is not a crime but a reminder what you should expect rather.
CONSIDER:
In my **** day i accidentally drop my phone on the street while getting of a bus in INDIA and a car runs over it
now since JERRY DOES A BEND TEST BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE PHONE you will have an idea of what kind of damage you should be expecting and
if you should dive in to push your phone away
or
let it be it can handle a car running over it
and
i can get it back with no problem

I can gurantee you that any phone you buy will become a brick if it was run over by a car. There, saved you time watching more videos. Lol
Challenge accepted !

Why argue and waste time rather lets just ask "jerry rigs everything" to throw a google pixel and an Honor 6x under a car. Or lets do it by ourselves but someone will will need to sponsor you to get a free phone to break so yeah we cant pretty much do that can we. HONOR aint sending us a free phone anytime soon so lets see what people do when they get a free one like jerry who practically breaks the phone.
THEN WHY DO I WANT THIS ARGUMENT TO CONTINUE ?
Because my SAMSUNG E500H could manage drops like i dropped it while trying to get a clear snapchat post in a DJ snake concert it practically was being run over by people but it survived with a crack on the digitizer and leaving the LCD un harmed.
Now my HTC 526g+ that had a crappy but decent tempered glass on broke in a simple fall when i missed my pockets and drooped the phone in the METRO.
I have been a person with slippery hands when it comes to phones so it helps me know
like if i got an IPHONE 4s ill cover it in a pillow
if its an OBI WORLDPHONE i will first recollect when was Android 4.4.4 awesome and re-evaluate life's decisions.
if its an honor 6x ill buy a higher quality TEMPERED GLASS and a decent quality PROTECTIVE CASE.
( METAL BODY ALLOWS FOR SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE INTAKE ).
if it is an GOOGLE PIXEL then i can call F U C K IT and throw it screen side down under a car phones internal will be safe but screen might break.

Im not sure if you are trolling or serious. Let me tell you something, a phone dropped is not similar to a car running it over. Also ive had 4 phones since the last 5 years, first was a blackberry which screen cracked from a simple fall on the street. Second was my galaxy s3 which is still in good condition despite it falling over a million times, and not to mention i still use it from time to time until this day. My newer galaxy s6 which i had a case and a tampered glass protector got its screen fully broken when it fell less than a meter high. Should we now say that samsung flagship device is really good quality (ex s3) or very bad (ex s6)? The truth is its all about how the phone fell, the angle, the type of surface there are too many variables. Now im using my honor 6x without any cover and it is still as brand new. Even though it fell maybe 2 times it still doesnt have a scratch. So chill with these videos they are nothing scientific and only for entertainment

Wouldn't that leave a giant variable for people who want to solve problems related to the exact matter if i consider the angle surface, ETC on which my phone drops and breaks.
I can only test my phone by droping it from a height and then fixing problems right and if we do this process over and over again we get a durable phone right.
SADLY, companies cannot spend that much on just making test models and break them over and over again to make a durable phone that costs more than a kidney
ALSO
Droping an object is not a standardized test and cannot be repeated without minimum human error.

If you think your phones with gorilla glass won't get scratched without a protector, you're not thinking right.

You're right, i wanna get a glass screen protector on top of the plastic one included but I'm too lazy, regardless it's still great for the price range.
