Brought one of these cases http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361285200...49&var=630626017007&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT as the other clear case I brought always looked dirty even though it wasn't and it was a complete dirt and finger print magnet.

So first impressions it makes the phone look bulky but it actually isn't (this is due to the protection around the edges of the phone where it's quite pronounced.

The case is very well made for £4,99 including delivery and I am happy to say it's next to impossible for it to leave finger prints on it so for people like me who hate finger prints this is a welcome bonus.

Very snug fit and it has physical buttons for the volume and power which work really well and feels very nice to hold in the hand and it covers the camera so it no longer protrudes so protects the lense as well.

This for me is the perfect compromise between a very slim case and a more protective one which adds too much bulk.

Only negative so far is it totally ruins the look of the phone without a case but as the phone is slippy as hell I am not going to take the risk of using the phone naked.

So all in all a very good case for the price.

Care to post some pics with the case on?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] daleski75:
Sure let me grab my wife's phone and take some pics and will post them shortly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] @xDeepS:
So we were moving my bed and the mattress was put on side. The mattress is roughly 7 inches high and the phone was a bit on its side, so it slipped and fell on side. I even saw it fall, the curved glass hit the floor first. (Theyre marble tiles) I kept it there, thinking oh its a minor fall, Ill take it when I am back.

I come back and pick it up and I see a crack. I think its a hair or something. But it was a crack!!! It cracked over a 6 inch mini drop with no impact whatsoever. It was in a Spigen Air Cushion case as well.

I have no words. You may see it here: http://imgur.com/a/7xi4C

Luckily the crack in invisible when screen is on but omg wtf. Gorilla Glass my ass. I am selling it off on eBay or whatever when they replace it. Which I hope they will. For free. I am so not paying. I dont even care if I sell at a loss.

Literally fed up with this phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Vanquiz:
Wow, that's sux

How in the world the drop tests are fairly good from waist and head level high, but unbelievable bad at real life accident.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CapraSebi:
It's glas....it cracks.!?! " I am not paying"..."I am fed up"...better don't drop it lol:))
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
Pretty unfortunate seeing as the screen has been tested over and over again in videos of dropping it. That's what insurance is for, though. I imagine it won't be cheap to repair!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the Doctor:
A shame that it cracked from such a low drop, but this much isn't Samsung's fault:

There are safer places to put an expensive electronic device while rearranging furniture.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Vanquiz:
I don't think it's about whose fault this is, accident happens, sometimes people aren't careful enough, sometimes **** just happened.

On the drop tests, it's rated pretty good, which should reflect on real life in theory. But again, another factor also matters, angle of drops, whether the screen itself has a drop before or not, or maybe a dud, we don't know.

It's just under normal circumstances, it shouldn't crack at 6 inched drop, period, especially for gorilla glass 4, that supposedly to be as strong as superman, except the only weakness is to its kryptonite, its own clear view case from Samsung... Cough cough
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thegrants82:
Your phone fell on a tile floor and you're expecting to get it replaced for free? good luck with that
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Samsung never claimed it cracked or break resistant!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
First of all, if you're referring to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, it frankly probably helped it break. There's too much play in the case, so the device itself already moves around and some drops would result in somewhat of a secondary impact. That's why I can't wait to get rid of mine. The Neo Hybrid/CC is a better bet if you don't mind the design.

Secondly, there's no such thing as a "mini drop with no impact" when you're talking about a device weighing nearly half a pound (with case) encased in glass hitting one of the hardest surfaces (marble) it could possibly fall on. Not to mention I doubt it was only 6 inches (which you stated was 7 inches initially) from the ground; unless your mattress was on the floor, and it wasn't at all lifted when you were moving it.

Finally, glass hitting from a side or corner is never minor. The only drops that qualify as "minor" are flat drops onto soft surfaces. Other than that, you should be expecting a break unless you have a proper case (meaning one that -entirely- encases the device). Will it always break? Of course not. But you should expect that it will nonetheless.

There's nothing unusual that occurred here. This accident is entirely your fault. Gorilla GLASS is still glass, and glass tends to break when it hits something. Especially other hard surfaces.

It's pretty humorous how unrealistic people's expectations of glass has become just because somebody put the word "gorilla" in front of it. If Corning starts selling Gorilla Paper, I'm betting somebody would probably cover themself in it and expect to be bulletproof.

Corning I expect 5% of the profits if you use that for an idea.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Berzerker7:
You need to learn how physics works. You dropped your phone. It's your fault. Samsung should not, and will not, replace this phone for free. You ****ed up. You pay for it. It could have happened with any phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elpindian:
sorry to hear that man. maybe you just got unlucky because i dropped mines from about 6 feet high onto concrete without a case... and literally didnt have a scratch on it. overall ive had a great experience with this phone (even though i still liked my s5 better...)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Alpine-:
I predict a ton of people with this complaint. I have the Edge, the large curved screen seems particularly vulnerable. I fear the day I drop mine.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] @xDeepS:
I agree, partially my fault.

Alright, chill. Most of you going all defensive on Samsungs side, wait for it to happen to you. Sure I placed it somewhere I shouldnt have but it was NOT that high. It should be able to deal with that small a drop, period.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] fletch33:
i cracked mine week 2 of owning and been running naked for many years with my other phones and never cracked a screen. just thought i would let you know your not alone and i got an insurance replacement.

it was my fault and only angry at myself but i will say that i have dropped many other phones with no issue so maybe its an easier phone to crack or maybe i hit it just right.

i read a post from a guy that dropped his from his moving 18 wheeler tractor and with no case and it barely had a scratch so who knows.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] EnIXmA:
I dropped mine from about 5 feet height last week and there is not a single scratch. . Luckily it landes on the bottom speaker grills side.. screen would have been a different story...phew.. I would still not use a duly case.. This phone is too hot to put a case on.. if the screen shatters, I would get it replaced. .lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] m.klinge:
You really need to understand what hardened glass means, it does not - by any measure - mean it's harder to breaks, as a matter of fact it might actually be easier to break than regular glass. However hardened glass is harder to scratch - which is also the main focus.

So please don't blame either Samsung or Corning for the glass to behave exactly as expected...

Yeah. I agree with FluffyR.

What's the purpose of this thread? The OP damaged the thing and want to blame Samsung for it? I don't get it...

[MENTION=6485535]Mainaharen[/MENTION]. The so called cheap quality /plastics that Samsung used till the S5 prevented even such damages....

Hi Guys,

I bought one of these Orzly glass screen protectors for the LG G4, mainly because I've heard of the brand before and they're quite good for glass screen protectors.

[IMG="Orzly LG G4 Glass screen"]http://i.imgur.com/302uTGp.jpg[/IMG]

What is quite good about the screen protector is the fitting, luckily the phone does not have a curved screen so the screen protectors goes right the way to the edge. As the screen protector is curved on the edges, it feels pretty much seamless when you run your finger from the side of the phone to the screen. Small details but it makes a difference to how it feels when you're using it.

There's cut outs to the speaker, sensors and front camera so none of that is obstructed, only the notification indicator light is covered but that's not a problem as it's only there to give an indication of any incoming notifications.

So far so good using the screen, I've got quite sweaty hands so my fingers do leave smudge marks on the screen, but a simple wipe on my t-shirt and it's as good as new again.

Overall I can't fault it, will continue using it and leave my comments after a bit more use.

Found this video online from them showing the screen so you can take a closer look at it

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Hi guys

I have recently acquired a Nexus 6 and therefore do not know its history...

When I turn it on, the Google logo appears but half of the screen is corrupt.

That "corruption" then disappears downwards and the four balls appear. The phone then appears to restart. The device is recognised in Device Manager as 'MTP Device'.

I have attached two images to illustrate the problem.

Is this a faulty motherboard?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, we believe so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
A motherboard fault?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That was the question you asked, wasn't it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
Apologies. Yes it was.

Would anybody know where I can procure a new or refurbished motherboard?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Don't you have warranty?

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 6 met Tapatalk
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanxion:
I suspect the warranty is void as the phone has clealry been opened before I acquired it. I know a new screen was fitted at some point and the power/volume buttons are missing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not sure.. Usual online auctions I suppose. I'm not sure whether it's worth it though, unless you can get one really cheap.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Did you pay with a creditcard? You can file a claim with them if the product isn`t as it was pictured by the seller or is faulty and request a refund.
[XDA Assist] donattack:
I recently flashed a rom on my galaxy grand 2 with CM11 android 4.4.4. I started to heat up my phone and made my screen glitter and flash when it gets heated up. I tried odin with official android 4.4.2 kitkat rom but it would get stuck at system on odin screen. Now I'm stuck and my phone wont load also the nandroid backup isnt working. I had TWRP installed. Odin is not doing anything/stuck on system.img.ext4. I could use some help guys.

Thanks in advance.:(:(
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Odin should work. Download the firmware from Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. It's a zip file, extract it with winrar or 7-zip. Use the .tar.md5 file in Odin, PDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wizardragon:
It seems I just fried parts of my 2GB miniSD I got about a year ago from ebay for about £30ish which was pretty cheap at the time. However it was slow as hell, and in low temperatures (about -25C) ran so slowly it was close to useless.

I dont like the idea of going for a 4GB as there does seem to be a large element in luck if these will work - but I guess (correct me if i am wrong) that there will soon be a ROM accommodating the newer format miniSDs. (Ahem, Mr Faria?)

However - until then I am still in need of a new card and sticking to a reliable old format at 2GB seems to make most sense - but with greater speed than my decomposing cheapo.

The one that looked best initially was the 2GB Utlra II from Sandisk, due to its claimed good transfer rates (10 and 9 meg/s IIRC) - however, I noticed...

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/search

... who I have had loads of good kit from previously, do their own with 20/9 rates and for £10.99 with a 6% discount via www.quidco.co.uk and the tax does not go to Tony Bliars lot, as they are off shore (although get reduced tax for > £18 - so you now can see the reasons for their price structure).

Their postage is £4 but I am due a few other things too, including USB memory pens that work as media in my car radio, and a 4GB Sandisk Titanium U3 as i filled the 1GB one from christmas in no time, and they make writing CDs redundant, so is likely to cancel out with the quidco discount.

Has anyone any suggestions for fast RELIABLE cards - preferably branded as I guess they would be more likely to stick with the same factory.

I look like a Sandisk fan - having mentioned their kit twice - but my first phone with a memory card back in 2001 went through three of their cards, before a cheapo lasted until the phones features were too old to keep using it (but it still works - a SL45).

So any suggestions and thinks in advance?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bbobeckyj:
htc have said that the hardware in most (if not all) of their phones is limited to slower read/write speed cards. ie the card may work in your pc, but the htc hardware is 'not good enough' to read it. the thread is on this forum somewhere...

try this thread

there are no branded (sandisk/kingston etc) cards

Warning to anyone getting a new phone through the screen assurance phone... The other day I was running to get out of the rain and my phone fell and the screen broke. The screen became unresponsive and eventually went black. The phone would still vibrate so I knew it wasn't totally dead.

I went into the Verizon store and told them what happened and they said I would get a new phone this week and to send mine back (awesome right?). Well after doing some research on the screen assurance program, there was a big warning about being charged for the price of a new phone (which is crap, because they send you a refurb and not a new phone) if there is anything other than a crack in the display. Well this got me concerned because my screen wouldn't even come on and there was some cosmetic damage to the bezel from the drop.

I called Verizon to make sure that I wasn't going to get charged for a new phone if mine didn't meet their qualifications. I asked if I could send the new one back if they found other issues with my phone, such as water damage, and they said I could but they would not be able to send my old phone back either. I was ok with that, even though I'm out a phone after only 5 months...The screen assurance program was the only reason I cancelled my insurance. I have never reuined a phone besides a cracked screen.

The representative called me back a half an hour later and told me that she had made some calls and that if they found anything wrong with the phone that didn't meet the screen assurance program requirements that I would be charged REGARDLESS if I returned the replacement phone. She said that I am just better off not returning it if it didn't meet the requirements.

My questions for her were - how am I supposed to know if it doesn't meet the requirements? I have no idea what the requirements are as far a physical damage, because they are extremely vague on the FAQ's. I also asked her how I was supposed to know if there is water damage? These phones are splash resistant, so even though it was in the rain, doesn't mean it has water damage.

Her only response was pretty much that she was sorry but there was nothing that they could do and I would be charged the price of a new phone if there was anything wrong with it.

So at the end of the day BEWARE of the screen assurance program, Verizon will still find a way to screw you out of more money. If you return your broken phone it is up to "the warehouse" to determine if you will get charged $500 or not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Martingitdave:
Did you submerge it in water? Smash it with a hammer? Fry it in the microwave? If so, they are not going to honor the warranty replacement. If not, I think you are over thinking it. I have to imagine that they expect some damage to the plastic housing, if the drop was enough to shatter the screen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 00McD00:
This is what I'm wondering as well I dropped mine and it landed on the corner. A bit of the plastic housing broke off as well as a small chunk of glass. Screen still works fine, so I decided to wait and save my replacement in the event I have a more serious accident.

I was planning on getting a replacement after approx 1 year, does anyone know if that bit of housing that broke off is going to stop them from honoring it? Anyone have any experience with something similar?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
i think the only mention that fell while it was raining, its what it ruined it for you, they assumed water damage, you should just said that you dropped and broke the screen. thats how they roll.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] huntb:
They said they would check it for water damage once it was received by the warehouse. They said they inspect every phone that comes back for the screen assurance program. Even if I wouldn't have said that it fell while it was raining, they would still see if it had water damage. I don't know if it does or not but there is no way to find out without sending it back in. When I do they can charge me $500 if it does.

Droid Turbo Screen Assurance FAQ's

Quote from the above website: "This one time replacement covers only a cracked display. If you have already received a replacement under this program or the device is found to have been subjected to other physical damage such as crushed or damaged housings, liquid damage, software or hardware alteration, it is not eligible for a replacement under this program."

"A cracked display refers to cracks to the outer glass/screen portion in the front of the device. Any damage that also includes a cracked housing, missing glass fragments or other significant structural damage to the housing does not qualify for the Droid Turbo Screen Assurance program. If you re unsure if your device meets the qualifications, you can visit a Verizon Wireless retail store to speak directly with a sales representative."

"If your Droid Turbo has been subjected to neglect, misuse, liquid damage, software or hardware alteration or unreasonable wear and tear, it is not eligible for a replacement under this program.

Note: Do not return your device under Droid Turbo Screen Assurance unless your damage is covered under this program. If you do, you ll be charged up to the full value of the replacement device, which may be in excess of $500, even if you subscribe to an Equipment Protection program. "
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SpyderPride:
But the Verizon store sent it in, not you, right? Shouldn't they be responsible if they did not properly evaluate the damage? They can't charge you $500 for their mistake.

When I saw the screen assurance thing when I bought my turbo, it seemed too limited to warrant going without insurance. All it protects you from is if the screen cracks and nothing else experiences any damage. In my mind, this is only good for saving me the insurance deductible in such a cracked screen-only event.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kodiak799:
First, they can actually replace just the screen. Second, if they didn't screen for other damage then any yahoo who had something happen to his phone would just crack the screen and ask for a new one.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Burkejt1:
I'm sure they'll fix the actual screen like they say they will then if anything is messed up past that it's on you.... because that's how it's written. A big selling point of this phone for me was that I can go case-less until i scratch up/crack this screen then I'll get my replacement and put a lifeproof on it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] huntb:
They don't replace the screen or send your phone back in for you. They send you a replacement phone with a prepaid return shipping label and you are responsible for sending the broken phone back to "the warehouse" where they will analyze it and determine whether or not it qualifies for the screen assurance program. If not, you get charged for the price of a new phone.
