Something doesn't jive. It's like someone describing a car accident as a fender bender then saying afterward a brand new car is totaled. It can't be both. OP said the phone had a "few drops of water" on the display then said Samsung told him it's beyond economical repair. It takes a lot to get a brand new phone to the point of being beyond economical repair; certainly more than a few drops of water.

Samsung has the toughest warranty restrictions in the industry across all their product lines. There is no warranty on any product purchased outside its intended region of sale. They also won't repair a product at the customer's expense outside the region of sale. The latter means if at your own expense you wanted to get your Singapore phone's screen replaced Samsung U.S. won't touch it. Any repairs under warranty

must

be accompanied by a receipt from an

authorized

Samsung retailer. Anything purchased off eBay or from cheapstuff.com won't be covered.

These policies are pretty well documented on XDA.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Chord_Hugo87:
Don't u have insurance?! Yea that goes with anything even cars. If you tamper with your car in anyway the dealership will refused your warranty.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
Yea, it's fine. I knew what I was doing when I purchased the international model.

1) I wanted the gold color

2) I wanted the option to be able to root or use Samsung Pay

3) In the U.S., the only model you can root is T-Mobile and, like all U.S. carriers, they only offer white and black (navy blue).

I really have no worries when it comes to warranty, I take care of all my gadgets and if something does happen, I'll get it fixed on my own. I've never had to use a warranty, not even once, since I started using smartphones 7+ years ago.

I just think that's one thing Samsung could learn from Apple, better customer care.

It would go along way with their reputation and brand image.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
The Note 5 outscored the iP6s/+ in SquareTrade's water test where each phone is fully submerged in 4" of water for 10 seconds.

As it has in the past, SquareTrade immersed each handset in 4 inches of water for 10 seconds while running a video, to see if any failed to operate underwater. The iPhones lost audio for a few seconds, but otherwise all three mobiles emerged from their swim unscathed.

I am done arguing with you. You were not on the phone with them, you did not go up 3 levels and get told they would not work on this phone at all period.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
None of what you said pertains to me. Its a sprint phone bought direct from them.

They will not admit the possibility of a manufacture defect in the seal. They will not talk about what exactly they found.

They are just a huge conglomerate with bean counters running things that don't care what mistakes they make at the customer's cost.

Which is fine, every big company that gets this big forgets how they did it and pays the price.

Just ask the entire Japanese consumer electronics industry.

South Korea is just going down the same path.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
Not true. They have to prove anything you did made the failure happen. And that doesn't matter in this case, I didn't open my phone, I didn't use it any differently than i have in the past.

Lol. So that's a test till fail and has zero real world equivalency, and has nothing to do with my failure which had NOTHING to do with immersion.

I don't care what you guys think, i am just warning anyone that lives in the real would and could run into the same issue.

As I said before, get a waterproof case or don't let it get wet at all.

Listen to me, laugh at me, I don't care.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to [MENTION=477432]HNIC215[/MENTION]

It wasn't a failure test at all. It was to see if the phone could survive 10 seconds submerged. The Note 5 was fully functional afterward.

This was your choice of thread title. It's not accurate.

Here's what Samsung tests their phones against internally. Pretty rigorous.

[YOUTUBE]BEEeMw_TgB4[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note5 General] princeasi:
Lol, I wasn't arguing the matter. We are "discussing". And you're quit right, I was not on the phone with them at the time you were.... And I don't think I needed to, to surmise you didn't push the envelope on them fixing your phone at a ballpark cost around $900 either. It's nothing new for samsung to charge approximately 80% of the phone's cost to fix a "fried" motherboard problem caused by or points to user error. It's like this with majority of the manufacturers. Sorry to know your experience with Samsung was sh!Tty... I can say my experience differs with them. Best success to you with other vendors!
[Galaxy Note5 General] charlie_c:
I was checking weather and news on mine in a solid drizzle for several minutes and nothing broke. I had beaded water on the screen fwiw. I have a Ringe Fushion case but nothing special. Everything is still working fine.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
Drizzle is not rain IMHO. You are welcome to buy mobile phones that cannot be taken outside ever if you wish. Most people will get a few drops on their phone from time to time, and if Samsung's top phone is worse than a note 3, a galaxy S III, an iPhone 6, all of which I have had zero problems with while being treated the same way, that's sort of the point in my posting this information.

Samsung told me yesterday they can test the seals, and they do. But they did not do that on my phone till after they replaced the screen and failed the screen test again.

So either I had a defective seal, or they have a bad design.

I will never know, unless they do fix my phone and it happens again, and/or if this problem crops up more and more as these phones get older.

Hopefully it was just mine. But we shall see over time.

Major problems do have a beginning...
[Galaxy Note5 General] princeasi:
If you're telling the truth, which is possible I might add, then it must be that your phone was already damaged and water dotted without your knowledge before the drizzle incident, and the affects of it manifested shortly after the raindrops. This is the only way it can make reasonable sense to me.

[Galaxy Note5 General] md1008:
I got a water damaged note 5, fortunately T-Mobile sent me a subsidized note 5. But when I sent in the phone all I got was BER(Beyond economic repair) I think that kind of support is crap for a couple reasons. Aside from Asurian Samsung has no

form of in-house protection. The other is that this phone is so new I would hope that Samsung would be able to do something.

When my water damage happened I didn't have my spen leaving the phone exposed. Oh well I still have a note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
The amazing $800 disposable phone. That's so messed up.

I guess with their financials they no longer care about customer loyalty..
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
I don't think their financials are as bad as people make it out to be.

They still ship and sell the most phones in the world.

They're also a much much bigger company and sell more than just galaxy phones.

I think you just had bad luck.

I feel your pain buddy, it sucks to lose out so much money on a purchase. These things happen in life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
Thanks, but bad customer service isn't "bad luck".

Still haven't heard back from Executive services. I'm guessing I won't, and I'll have to spend another hour and 45 minutes on the phone, starting all over again.

Frustrating.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
I agree that their customer support can be much better... for sure!

It's too fragmented and too many regulations/rules/stipulations involved.

I think there are plenty of companies in the mobile space that need to improve their customer support.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
This thread's going in circles...

OP claims minor water exposure killed his phone. We've seen videos that show Samsung's phones in general and the Note 5 specifically hold up well when gotten wet.

OP states his water flag inside the phone wasn't tripped. It's hard to fathom that wouldn't be the case if water is what totaled the phone.

Samsung who's the only one beside OP that's seen the phone said it was beyond economical repair. In all my time on XDA I've never heard of a phone totaled by water exposure so something's not right. I've seen MBs replaced and phone's coming back with new IMEI's which is probably the most invasive repair possible. Either there's other non-water related damage or something's amiss in what we're being told.

Bottom line is this is an issue between Samsung and OP and this whole thread on the weakness of the Note 5 in water is pretty much been disproven. The SquareTrade test actually makes me feel good about the low risk of getting my Note 5 wet.
[Galaxy Note5 General] princeasi:
Other threads here that are similar need to be put thru the same scrutiny as this one. It's threads like this that bring XDA down and spreads misinformation.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
Scrutiny? You mean making guesses and accusing a poster of being a liar.

You know that can get your login killed right?

If you can't be civil, i suggest you ignore this thread and stop posting in it.

Thanks..
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
If you are going to lie about what i have posted i will be complaining to the moderator.

Nowhere did I ever post any water "flag" was tripped.

If you are going to make things up to try and make me look bad feel free to stop posting to this thread.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
I could swear you said it was tripped. I'm not looking to misquote you or change your story so I changed my post. But saying the phone was totaled due to water damage without the flag being tripped doesn't really help the case you're trying to make.

I'm not going after you and I doubt others are either. But you posted a sensationalistic thread that your story doesn't support. If a Note 5 can be completely unharmed after being fully submerged for 10 seconds you can't blame people for being a little skeptical about your claims.
[Galaxy Note5 General] princeasi:
I'd like you to quote me where I've accused you of being a liar. Thx!

Technically $250. T-Mobile sent me a brand new phone for $250. I just agreed to sign up for their JoD insurance. (Which wasn't offered BTW) Samsung solution was to buy a new phone as it wouldn't be "economical" I am sure a new motherboard and 1-2 hour of labor would cost over $700. Needless to say If I ever buy another Samsung product it won't be for a long while
[Galaxy Note5 General] Chord_Hugo87:
Who's the second person?

They would honor your warranty if you wouldn't use it in the rain.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Chord_Hugo87:
That dude either too dumb or he thinks he entitle more because he used the product in a way that voids warranty then he expect samsung to fix it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] princeasi:
I believe they're individuals who attempt to conjure a number of supporters thru XDA for reasons that this person may use as a reference in supporting a particular view or issue to the manufacturer. I've read statements similar to this many times on here " I complained to customer service and I told them to look on XDA developers, and you'll see others with my same issue!"....... IJS.

Hi,

use: http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/disccusion-developing-meizu-mx4-custom-t3120673 to get the 4.5.4A images. Use fastboot to flash.

Optionally you can downgrade to 4.0.4I. Its more stable also preformancewise. But do not upgrade with OTA to 4.5.6. You will softbrick and start all over again. I am still waiting to get update files for 4.2.8.2I. I used following post to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63253332&postcount=60

Generally the first method (flashing to 4.5.4A) is a good reentry path if you decide to do something else and end up with a boot loop or softbrick.

Then when the screen and edge is black you scroll up and down the edge screen a widget comes on with the time, date and temp but Much brighter. My question, is there any way I can use that widget or whatever it's called for the Night clock instead of the one that currently Android uses (which is not as bright nor does it have the temp display)?
