[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
I told the guy in the shop I bought it from what happened and he looked at it and said there is no sign of water damage. He said it should be repaired under warranty but not to 'quote' him on it happening. I'll report back in 2-3 weeks and say what happened.

I couldn't really complain about a 'faulty usb cover' when the whole damn thing fell off about 6 months ago.

I looked at a bunch of disassembly videos of the S5. Seems there are 3 main water damage stickers. 2 which are visible from the back. One behind the battery, one behind a little 'square' on the left-hand side of the phone. Both of mine were pure white. There's also another on the battery, except that mine didn't have a spot for it which was weird. The battery was a stock one I got from the same store.

That leaves 1 more which is in the middle of the phone behind the circuitry which I cannot see and I doubt very much that it is anything but pure white. So I think I have a good chance to have it replaced under warranty.

Also the bottom part of the phone's PCB is actually remove-and-replaceable. So if something there shorted out behind the capacitive buttons perhaps they will just throw that piece away and click in a new one.

Who knows.

Yeah, although this phone has ip67 protection, it doesnt do much with samsungs "engineering capabilities" - i have this phone too, and i can say, that this phone has at least 3 weak points, that makes ip67 to ip20 (first number is resistance to dust, second is resistance to water, higher is better) - so, the weak points are : 1) usb connection cover does not fully close, it is stuck out by like a 1-2mm, which i believe leaves some kind of space for water to flow in; 2) back cover does not fully stick to the back of the phone near the camera, you can press in that place to feel that there is empty space, which makes protection gum on back cover kind of useless, because it does not fully stick to the phone and will let water flow; 3) that corner of back cover, which was made to start removing back cover, does not fully stick to the phone, which leaves an empty space of about 1mm for the water to flow in. So to add everything up, even if s5 has ip67, i do not recommend testing it, because it only might work only with a new phone, but when you use your phone, some parts of phone gets out of the shape really fast, like usb connection cover, so it will decrease resistence to water a lot. Anyway, if you are above the water with your phone, i recommend doing good old trick, whick works with all phones - put your phone in a baloon or a condom - this protection will be 100 times better than anything that samsung will offer us in 1000 years.

I don't care if they tell me it is 100% waterproof, under 100 miles of water, for 100 years - I`ll still keep that theory for the day I accidentally drop it in a puddle - Im not going to purposely put any phone in water, no matter how 'safe' Im told it is

About a month ago, I knocked a pint of beer over my phone.......I had a moment when I started panicking about the phone......then I remembered IP67 and rinsed the phone off under the tap......then I started cursing myself for wasting a pint of beer........

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
I used the S5 plenty in the rain and I didn't worry putting it next to the sink or something. I don't think I ever actually fully wet it, but the screen did get covered in water at times in the rain. To me the IP67 rating was always something that meant the phone wasn't made of 'paper', in that it wouldn't be ruined in the rain, but I shouldn't exactly take a bath with it. I've read blogs etc. however that state that it is prone to some pretty nasty moisture damage if you take it into the shower or sauna with you. Though I suppose that is stating the obvious.

Point is, I think the water protection on the S5 is pretty garbage. On paper (no pun intended) it might look good that it is IP67, but let 1 drop into the bottom USB port with the cover off and you've lost both capacitive buttons as well as gained an issue that the phone constantly thinks that it is overheating after the screen turns off (funnily enough doesn't happen unless the screen goes black) and will try and reboot itself continuously. You can't even charge the phone because in a hilarious work of irony, it states that the battery is too cold!

Everything is only as strong as its weakest component and I found that usb cover to be about as weak as it gets. It only took 4 weeks for it to stop closing properly, and another 4 weeks for it to actually fall off... all just with regular use. Anyone is free to look around the web and see similar complaints of how cheap and flimsy the cover is. It would have made much more sense if it closed magnetically, or even if they had made the bottom cover replaceable so when they wore out, they could be replaced. To me it just feels like a typical scenario of Samdung trying to cover as many 'bases' as they can with regards to 'listed perks' without actually thinking about things from a long-term constructive or realistic point of view.

You can see from the S6 and the Note variants that they have abandoned further development towards water resistance and have saved it purely for their 'active' variants. I would have gotten one of those despite how ugly they are if they didn't come with a dumbed down CPU and Camera.

This will be my last Samsung phone anyway. I'll go the HTC or LG route after this.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
The S5 is useless in the rain for me, a few drops on the screen and it thinks I'm pressing buttons, phone becomes self-aware and does what it wants until I turn the screen off and dry it, then it works until the next raindrop hits it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol.....as long as it doesn't turn into one of those nasty little decepticons out of Transformers you're fine.....

And the S5 will be my last Samsung device too.....not happy with certain aspects of the S6 that look certain to appear on further generations of Samsung devices in the future....

"Smartphone" is useless in general outside - you cant see sh1t in the sun light - it havent gotten any better since the first phone was released on this earth, also its kind of useless in the winter, because you cant control it with all the clothes you are wearing.

Me too, i'm dissapointed with the level of phones on this planet, never will buy another one, but if needed, will buy cheap one. Maybe i'm too old for all of this, because i'm seeing all of it like useless crap - it is getting way out of control for manufacturers to develop a useful and not broken phone, it needs way more repair and fixing time than a computer. Anyway, i'm just going to jump into the future and buy a new pc with big monitor - thats how phones will look after like 10 years.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
So Samdung called me today.

FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN EUROS (€416) repair fee they wanted.

The asshole who called me at 9am was one of the rudest pricks I've ever had the displeasure of speaking to.

I claimed that the phone never got wet, and that the stickers on the back of the phone indicated as much. Also claimed that I knew how the phone was built and that it couldn't possibly have gotten wet and if it did that it's due to a faulty USB cover that fell off after only a month and that they are still liable to fix it.

He complained back saying that I should have had the phone sent back to get a new cover. **** off, like I have time to wait 2 weeks just to have a piece of flimsy plastic replaced.

I couldn't care less that this phone is broken due to my own mistake, but what pisses me off is that they wanted so much money to fix it. The bottom PCB on the phone (the USB connectors) is removable when you disassemble the phone. They could have easily just thrown it away and put on a new one if it was damaged. There's no need to replace the whole f**king PCB and charge me the cost of a new phone.

I could buy a brand new S5 for CHEAPER than €416 in my country, so why the hell would I ask them to basically give me a refurb for that money?

Samdung, you pricks are now as bad as Apple. I've been sick and pissed off at how you treat your customers the past few years and especially how you are trying so hard to stop the advancement of Open Source Programming. I will never buy one of your products again, and I will never recommend you to anyone. How dare you try to charge me more than the cost of a new phone to replace something that I should have been protected from in the first place.

Also yes I do have phone insurance but I am not even willing to harass my insurance company to pay 54% of the costs, as I still have to pay €200 myself and I don't consider it worth it.

I'm going to sell my phone on eBay now for parts/not working and if anyone wants to talk to me well they can send me a bloody Facebook message.

When I do get around to getting a new phone it will be an HTC or LG. I will never go near a Samsung product again. Ever.

This is probably the last post I will make on XDA for quite awhile.

Thanks for the fun guys. I hope I helped some people out in the past.

P.S. For reference's sake. When I had an S3 that broke after only 10 months because of a really weak and flimsy USB port (no I am not some HULK and I plug my USB cable in like a normal person) they only charged me €66 to fix it. I claimed again it should be fixed under warranty but they stated it wasn't covered under warranty. When I got the phone replaced they told me that they just replaced the bottom chip. I don't see how this is really very different. These morons should think for a second on how they do business. Do people send their phones into you, to waste your time having you look in them, and you ask them for €400+. Or do you just charge them roughly €100 on the incredibly high chance that they are willing to pay that much and well at least you get some more money and you don't lose a customer.

Jackasses.

its a shame! :/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecorbusier:
If the water didn't get any further than to the said pcb, you could get one for less than 10€. And a set of tools for about 15€. Sadly all S5 repairs except for the usb cover start with removing display & touchscreen, at the risk of more damage. I would give it a try, but only under circumstances like these. You've already got a total loss, and the investment for possibly fixing it, is minor.

And you get practice in the critical but important task of screen removal, working on a modern design with a gapless screen.

If you *do* decide to go with the DIY option, be aware that the phone will be even less water resistant than it was before.....In other words, treat it like a phone that doesn't have IP67 certification......

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonay:
Please can you assist me.

I've read through so many threads explaining that it is easy to fix if I use ODIN. However I cannot seem to get ODIN to recognize my Galaxy S3.

I was doing a factory reset on my device, which has Cyanogenmod installed. Upon rebooting, the phone is now stuck with the Teamwin logo and it continues to loop.

In cannot seem to charge the phone because it's stuck in this mode and when I install ODIN and along with the SAMSUNG USB Drivers. I have no luck with my computer recognizing the device. I am able to get into the Download mode by holding Power, Volume Down and Home buttons - I click Volume up to continue. I then check my ODIN screen and it never appears to say ADDED or anything of that sort.

I'm scared that my phone is going to soon run out of charge and then I will not be able to even attempt to fix this. Please help me.

I've tried the above steps in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and cannot get either of them to recognize my device.

N.B. I have also tried different USB ports as well as different USB cables.

Once again, I plead for any assistance.

Can u go to the custom recovery ??

If so

Do a clean wipe

Do a factory reset (do not do a clean to install new rom,just erase your data)

Wipe your cache

Wipe dalvik cache and see if u can boot it up

Goodluck :)

Use the latest odin version and see

And why didint you take a nandroid backup before installing custom roms

If u took it

Just restore it :)

U will surely boot it up :)

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

I managed to solve the issue by using a computer which already had my device USB drivers installed.

The other 2 computers I tried didn't seem to want to recognize the device due to the bootloop - but when linking up to a computer which linked to my phone prior to the ordeal, ODIN then recognized the device and I was able to load stock rom back on.

FYI, I wasn't able to access recovery.

Thank you for your quick response.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sweber5:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Android Tablet that I purchased around mid December of 2014. Not too long ago, I noticed that the battery life is significantly shorter. I cannot pinpoint when this started, because I wasn't specifically watching for any reduction.

Also, I did do the upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop, and then a minor upgrade to 5.0.2 about a week or two ago. When I go into the Battery section of the OS section, I noticed that, by far, the screen was using the most power, and the percentage was INCREASING. At about 8:00 in, the morning, the screen was using 20% of the power. But, at about 1:00pm, it was up to 36%--WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN USAGE. As a matter of fact, the tablet was often sitting idle (with the screen locking periodically).

Another thing I noticed while in the Battery section of the OS section was that the full 100% of power consumption is not accounted for--I added up the percentage numbers of everything that was listed as consuming power, and they did not even add up to 50% of total power consumption, So what accounts for the rest of the power consumption?

This happend to me as well with my Tab S 8.1", and the problem causing it was All Cast, even when i didn't use it were running in the backround and used a lot lf battery.
