Oh wow. This reminded me of when someone were using a Sony phone which is full-waterproof, even in the ads are displayed "Waterproof", but one day the phone went completely blank, blamed Sony, then Sony said don't use the phone in the water

Here we go again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chriscw81:
i don't care what the phone is rated for. when mine arrives i will not be purposely putting it in water. just saying....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orangpelupa:
This is why Sony longer showed their water resistant phone working underwater in their ads anymore.

They simply Don't want to deal with the headache of water ingress. To determine its user fault or factory fault.

From the OP reply, it seems Samsung does want to take the hassle though. Nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DDz_1888:
Well, in Sony's case water seals are already broken from the factory, the phone will fail when in contact to any water whatever the case. When you get a brand new Sony, go to their facility and demand a waterseal test, I have seen so many cases that brand new Xperias fail to make a seal from the factory. This is different, Samsung will stand to its official words 'This phone can be submerged' Not like Sony's excuse of 'This phone cannot be submerged and we will not be held responsible for any water damage if you expose this phone to water' LOL Sony is really a joke.

Just don't take 'this phone can be submerged' to 'This phone is submarine'. After your phone is exposed to water, you have gently rinse it with clean water to flush out any dirt and salts/minerals. And wait until it is very dry before connecting any sort of cable. Or just use a wireless charger all the time, then you really don't have worry about ruining your charging port altogether.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lostsoul1:
wow.. a tough group here. haha

if the fast charge doesn't work after after a day and the carrier and samsung dont know of a way to get it to work then it is not working as advertised. Also, getting on the guy about the "flow" of water seems funny to me. I'm not an expert but I dont expect the under water current in a pool to be high like he was sitting in a rip tide. If its raining and the phones in my pocked top down and the some drops are going into the charging port then the warranty is voided? When Samsung shows pictures of it on a fountain is there not a flow of water hitting the ear speaker and flowing into other ports? If the s7 is really that unstable in water then they should just keep their mouths shut and not use it in the advertisements like apple.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ToastyZ71:
No, what that text is saying is that the touch screen might not function correctly when wet... and it likely wouldn't.... just meaning that when the screen is wet, it can't sense your finger's electric charge that makes the touch screen works. My Moto360 watch does this in the shower, but once it's dry, its fine.

So, after reading all pages of this thread, I couldn't find an answer.

Does the fast charging feature work after water? Or it will be completely destroyed?

This guy never saw even cars just get swept away with flowing water. I`m not talking about teeny weeny fountain or rain droplets :silly: Go to your local swimming pool and try to swim as fast as you can walk. Feel the pressure. ;)

The port itself is fine with water by itself, just clean it and dry it before connecting to a live charger.

My guess is that if the charging port broke after trying to charge with wet port warning? He kept it connected to the charger and port pins physically got eaten by corrosion and electrolysis by electricity of the charger. You really cannot blame Samsung for that. This is really basic common sense. I don't know why whenever new technology is introduced to the mass, some people just don't get it.:rolleyes: They shoudn't have slept during chemistry and physics class when they were in high schools.

Full Definition of waterproof

: impervious to water; especially : covered or treated with a material (as a solution of rubber) to prevent permeation by water

Simple Definition of water–resistant

: designed to not be easily harmed or affected by water or to not allow water to pass through easily

1.5M for 30min.. thats what is advertised. period. Like I said, if they are going to do this half ass@d thing then pull it back to water-resistant so peoples expectations and use of will match.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MRDOCA:
Anyone else going to do a water test? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CRE:
One thing being left out here is the rate of submersion and a clear explanation of the actual pressure that is acceptable. This isn't just a mater of how deep and how long. Just swinging your arm with the phone in your hand at one meter of depth can cause create a LOT more pressure at the leading edge resulting in failure. This point has won cases on the part of many watch manufacturers and if I remember correctly a couple early industrial case manufacturers. Just showering with a watch (because of the pressure of the quickly moving water) will void your warranty with certain brands.

I don't have my S7E yet, but I'm eager to test this out. The moisture detection I suspect is two fold, one part a resistance check across the contacts within the the port and the second based on voltage drop with the power coming from the charger vs the anticipated voltage from the factory charger +/- a small allowance. I second the speculation that the failsafe/moisture detection mode has stages: Off (until contacts have no shorts + timer), on low (after timer), and high speed (once the previous safeguards have passed).

now is it Fast charging or not? it passed at less 1 day. we need to know this. its charging normally according to the writer but we concerned about the Fast charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
This actually was mentioned earlier in the thread. Somebody even posted a video of someone swimming with the S7 and it survived perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lostsoul1:
Now thats the question. The OP I think said he waited a few days and returned it. Look at what I found, its what some have said.. just funny no one told him(carrier/sammy), but then again, it should have been dried after a few hours or a day.???

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Martinjv71:
Just cause it's ip8 rated doesn't mean it's designed for underwater use people. It's resistant yes but was the phone advertised for use underwater? It no where says it can be used underwater...so connect the dots..if it doesn't say it don't do it. That being said it shouldn't be error in out just because it was simply "dunked"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
Well I certainly won't be. I'm just happy it's protected if I do happen to accidentally drop it in water.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lostsoul1:
http://euroboxenclosures.co.uk/IP-Ratings-Explained.html

"IP 68 Enclosures - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against complete, continuous submersion in water."

we are playing on semantics. The device was made and given a rating that states it can work(ie the device is still on) under water at a certain depth for a certain time. If its just powered on or it is on record or if dunked in a foot at the pool to take a picture should not matter.

Why would Sammy give an ip68 rating if it was not expecting people to use it? They could have just said it was water resistant and be done with it. With all the new videos of it being in the water without issues, its pretty safe to say it will be fine, but at your own risk.

Maybe the op could have tired some factory reset or bag of rice.. who knows. looks like the system is what cut off fast charge, we now know why but why was it cut off for so long. We need more people to test.. haha

Samsung encourages rinsing with water, and the only side-effect is you might not be able to use the touchscreen etc. while submerged.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] voxluna:
For what it's worth, the rice method is bunk.

IP68 is more water-resistant than waterproof -- I believe Samsung's rating is 1.5 meters of depth for 30 minutes. However, that standard involves immersion in still water, without any movement or splashing around.

The S7 has a coating on the internal components to protect them several methods of protection from water, but they elected not to put plugs in the headphone and USB ports this time. However, I suspect when all the water evaporates around your charging port's PCB traces, it will start charging again.

* EDIT: Apparently the board is not hydrophobic, so rumors of it being coated seem to be false.

Four, you're an idiot. Disable emojis in your forum settings and you'll see why.

I don't know if it's occurred to anyone, but pool water is anything but "fresh water". Can you say chlorine? Are they expecting us to have distilled water laying around?.. They need to define "fresh water" as either distilled or simply potable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Santanazz:
When they released S7 edge in MWC and after saw the unboxing underwater video, I was aware that charging port, headphone port, and speaker are not sealed off. Back in time when I used S5 which was also have water resistant protection, the charging port was sealed off..

Technicaly, if the charging port was wet after we use it underwater (assume it is fresh water), how long should we wait until it return to normal? And also I am worried about the other jack that remain open (headphone and speaker) become the entrance of water after several months.. I have never got my phone submerge although it was water resistance because I am aware with those situation and I am fine if the phone got wet beacuse of rain but I will wipe it out as quick as possible

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] voxluna:
So, back to the original point of this thread, before all the flaming and juvenile behavior:

It seems quite a few people are getting that message. The problem seems to resolve after a number of hours, but YMMV -- at least one user reported that his quick charge no longer worked, although slow charge still did.

The moral of this story is that a phone is usually not something capable of underwater photography unless purpose-built, and I wouldn't consider IP68 to qualify. Unless it's sealed up in a special housing (they do make add-on kits like this), I'd be really wary of having it in any water at all. Meaning even if I dropped it in the sink for just a few seconds, I'd pull it out right away and dry it off immediately.

I love how you are quoting my post from earlier in this thread back to all of us, via Android authority, who took the story from this thread. "One user reporting quick charge not working" is in fact me.

Gotta love the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
They're internally sealed so shouldn't need protecting. However, I personally view the IP68 as a bonus and means I no longer have to stop using my phone when it's raining. I have zero intention of submerging it in water to prove a point.

As for the comparisons with Sony elsewhere in the thread, they're moot. Sony water resistance was based upon the port flaps being closed properly, like on the S5. Or that was the case anyway, I don't know about the latest models as I don't pay much attention because I've always though Xperia's look s**t. However, the S7 has claimed sealed ports so doesn't need them.

As for the opening poster, I'm wondering if there was an excess of water in the port and he plugged it in too early, damaging something. But, if that is the case, at the very least Samsung should be telling people who have gotten their device wet to use wireless for the first hour or two after drying it. Not ideal but a sacrifice that is needed given the lack of flaps on the ports.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] OMGBrowniez:
Did a little googling.

I just wanted to add after hitting up all the major carrier sites here in the US, they all with the (exception of sprint and their vague specs page) state that the s7 is ip68 water RESISTANT and not proof. Furthermore the test used to determine this is them sitting the phone in a tank of fresh (not salt or pool water) for 30 mins then taking it out and drying it off before use. I just thought I'd point these things out to those who stated otherwise. Feel free to fact check and I wish OP best of luck with their device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] physicsguymatt:
Been loosely following the thread, apologies if this was already posted, but I went to check on the status of my wireless charging stand on Samsung's site and saw this potentially new addition (I didn't notice it before today) probably based on the recent scuttlebutt: (check the "ALERT")

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sonhy:
I can't see why the headphone port, speaker and the micro usb port is NOT designed totally sealed, leaving no gap for water to pass through and so making the s7 totally sealed and waterproof.

The design would involve copper wire/tabs infused with the plastic housing of the ports, thus allowing electric current to pass through and nothing else.

Its very clear that old headphone ports/ jacks are hollow like a tube, but with such great manufacturing feats like curved glass oled screens, I'd be shocked if samy are unable to make a plastic injected mould that is waterproof.

And the sim card port has a rubber gasket...

but regarding the heat dissipation, im not sure.

maybe the glass backing is being used as a heatsink... i know when my screen gets really hot, i can cool it down by placing it against a cold glass or metal surface inside the fridge and the screen is instantly cold.

Inductive charging is unaffected, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sahirhussain:
so water damage is not covered under warranty? even though there is no way to prove accidental immersion from deliberate immersion. its a bit unfair to the consumers to advertise a phone as ip 68 certified (which actually means 30 mins of immersion in 1 metre of water). theoretically speaking, even a spilled drink while enjoying a dinner could cause water damage and void warranty while the owner thinks otherwise. as a lawyer, this disturbs me. let me check if i can take samsung to court for false advertising. i mean why even bother with an ip 68 rating then? this rating alone gives a false sense of security to a customer who might base his/her decision on this aspect alone (i know i would as i have lost 2 phones to water damage).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
This is why Sony has stopped advertising their phones as water resistant. Too much trouble from angry customers when they do not get their water damaged phone fixed in warranty. Now Samsung seems to take on that kind of trouble. I bet their will be angry customers ahead when they probably won't get their water damaged phones fixed in warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zan5hin:
I tested the waterproof-ness of my S7 Edge by dunking it in the bathtub while I was using it, it was underwater for 5 seconds. It is now nearly 18 hours later and I just went to plug it in and I am receiving the error message. I am really worries now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Vanquiz:
That's ridiculous, it should be able to withstand for 30 mins, and 18 hours later still has that error, wth Samsung.

Did you try putting it inside a zip lock back with uncooked rice in it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zan5hin:
No I didn't but I did try something and it is working now, thank god.

I will tell you a secret, but you can't tell Samsung ok? haha. I actually didn't read the instruction PDF http://www.samsung.com/au/pdf/IP68.pdf and what I did was I put magnesium salt in my bath. About two cups of epsom (magnesium) salts were in the bath when I dunked my S7 edge in there for 5 seconds.

I seriously think that it affected the port because magnesium have some sort of conductive effect. My solution was that I filled up the sink with fresh water, put my fingers over the speaker grill and headphone jack and dunked the bottom half of my phone in the freshwater and gave it a light swirl around for about 15 seconds.

So chronologically:

Saturday 3pm - gave my S7 a magnesium bath. Didn't read about washing it straight away.

Sunday 11am - 20 hours later I try to charge and it doesn't work. Read the PDF, swear loudly.

Sunday 12pm - give it a fresh water bath. Turn it off because it is only at 9% battery, in case I have to go to Samsung Experience store to show them.

Monday 11:30am - plug it in again. Charging is working straight away, no error messages about water anymore. It is now fast charging, 90 minutes to completion.
