This sux. Just after one day use. I dropped while i held it in my hand waist-hight.

It dropped on a actually pretty soft tree floor. I even had back and round protection on it. :(

Screw this screen design. And forget all those drop tests you see on youtube. This screen dont tolerate nothing!

:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
Sorry to see that dude... is a hard floor... so depending on on how the phone landed... but yeah.. is a bit too fragile isn't. I am gettin insurance right away
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ausboy 2011:
Be more careful never dropped a phone ever. Maybe benefit from a decent armor case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] M@rs:
How the F.. Did the phone landed to crack on this place.

Which case did you use? Seem it doesn't have raised borders :/

Sorry to see that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toofimoofi:
I think it fell flat on screen. Im still waiting for my tampered glass protection. This one i got is a bumber. And it does cover the borders. Just not the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
It's quite scary looking at this. I have yet to drop mine but will certainly be getting insurance for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
I just searched the S4 General forum to see how many threads there were about screens cracking after being dropped. There were lots. A phone's screen may crack when dropped pretty much regardless of phone design or choice of chassis materials. I don't think there is much of a case to blame the S7E's design. Obviously the phones in the YouTube videos survived even on cement.

Not to say I don't feel for you--I'd be pretty upset too. I just don't think the design is to blame. Every device section on XDA has threads on broken screens after being dropped from only "x" height.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I agree. I have always had a bad habbit of throwing things up and catching them so as you can imagine I have dropped a lot of phones doing this. Luckily my S4 survived every single time. My S5 survived a lot of drops onto hard concrete and more, one day I dropped it from waist height on the bathroom floor and the glass cracked.

It's how it lands that matters imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
^^^ This is a huge part of it.

Also, any scratch (big or small) can propagate a crack during an impact. If you think about how glass is cut, they score (=scratch) it first, then hit it. If you scratch your screen then drop it, you're doing the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toofimoofi:
Got 3 fractures total. I contacted samsung and they said itll cost around 400$ to replace. The surface of the glass is still smooth and no pixel problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
OUCH!!

I am ordering my insurance today!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
I was at BB the first day I got my phone (last weeek) and i dropped it without a case from about 4[ft] on to the carpet. The phone is perfectly fine despite landing hard on the corner. I've also tripped on my stairs and had it fall face down in a case. Thankfully my phone is fine and willmlvie to see another day. As other people mentioned it's about how it falls more than anything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wawaweewa:
Lets see it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lhrrob:
What about Samsung Guard 7? You should have that protection for one free screen replacement in case of damage. Check this out.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fastmike:
Too bad! Sry man... I put the Spigen on but it will not protect against anything...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wawaweewa:
Ouch and from the looks of that case it wont save you from anything lol i dropped mine already but with this case

Held up well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] M@rs:
Got my Neo hybrid today, hope its a better protection than your slim bumper :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Gr8gorilla:
Insurance Deductible is $175

With my Jump + Handset protection has a $175 deductible for "Flagship" tier phones. I have used the insurance with my devices at least 5 times in the last 7 years. Accidents happen and replacing a phone that retails for ~$700+.

I dropped mine once so far. Getting out of the car. I was so glad it wasn't cracked or scratched. I bought the Otter Box case at Tmobile, it's baby blue with a hot pink edge. The only color they had but better than breaking the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lhrrob:
Well, here in Poland we get that protection from Samsung if you buy s7 or s7e by 2016.06.11

What we get is:

- Display insurance in case of damage

- After one year, replace Galaxy S7 edge or S7 to a newer model at a reduced price

- The warranty period extended from 2 to 3 year

I can't believe it's only here.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dazzer1975:
this is the first phone i've ever separately insured, but with the difficulty/impossibility of screen replace/repair, lack of tempered glass protectors and cost of the phone, insurance is a necessity imo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] icugotit2:
dropped 3 times. on ceramic carpet and wood. no cracks or dents for me.

Samsun Protection Plus

For the S7 and S7 Edge, it's $129 for two years of coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I wish they did that here is the UK
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ausboy 2011:
wish they did it in Australia
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Redflea:
Costco Square Trade is better-same two years coverage, $99, but $50 deductible (Samsung's is $80 deductible), up to four replacements of your phone in the two year period.

Also, Costco Squaretrade warranty includes a free battery replacement at the end of the two year warranty period.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
But only available if you buy the phone from Costco, I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Yeah, that's pretty harsh. If you watch a tear-down video, it requires disassembling the phone starting from the back moving all the way forward to the screen. The LCD, digitizer, glass and capacitative buttons come as a single unit that cannot be separated. After replacing that, they have to reassemble the device from front to back and re-tape everything to make sure it's as waterproof as when it left the factory. I know that doesn't make you feel better, but it does explain the cost.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
I haven't paid for insurance on a phone in many years, but I may well spring for Square Trade or the Samsung Protection plan on this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rubberwheels:
I just totaled my phone. Dropped it stomach height. Landed face first on concrete. Glass is cracked and the display is totaled. Good news, the always on display still shows the time. So I currently have an expensive desk clock. No insurance from carrier as well. Gotta call Samsung tomorrow for an estimate. Hopefully the purchase protection on my credit card works. 21 days into ownership and I break it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Slut:
Sorry to hear that... well, my edge is back into Led case then...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Just a thought--instead of paying for an expensive repair, get what you can for it broken on ebay and buy a new one instead. That way you'll have a pristine, waterproof device again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
I get free phone and gadget insurance through my bank. Have used it for years and replaced quite a few phones so far. They never ask any questions. You just pay the excess and they send you a brand new phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Lembo:
Which bank? Barclays?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] prfraczek:

8 inch "soft" drop onto black pavement, no case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] neezy13:
Mine just survived its first drop. It was in my lap as I got out of my friend's suv and dropped face down onto asphalt. It was about a three foot drop. I have a minimal tpu case and an xtreme guard film screen protector. The only damage was a few marks on the sreen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] H00pyFr00d:
Mine took a tumble off a car roof. Caught it on my foot and it then tumbled onto the pavement. I thought it would be fine but it was utterly destroyed. My Nexus 6P has taken far bigger hits and survived.

It's off getting repaired by Samsung now. £203.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Monkey Slut:
Some countries have this samsung Guard program which offers you 1 year screen protection for 1 repair - about 500 $ and 3 instead of 2 years of warranty. All for free. Sadly I didnt get insurance from my phone provider so its the only protection I have. I have a led case and ordered foil for whole phone - it will be my all protection right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
That was the first thing I looked into. My current insurer provides much better and cheaper cover than Barclays.

Plus it isn't "free" unless you pay a monthly fee for your account, which I don't need to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
Yes you do pay an account fee which for me is £16 a month. For that I get free premium breakdown cover in the UK and Europe, even if it's not my own car, free mobile phone insurance, free gadget insurance, free extended warranty on anything I buy, free travel insurance, fee free overdraft and more, of which I use every thing. To me it's a no brainer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I don't know why people say this. You've just been lucky with your Nexus. All it takes is one drop in the wrong way and it's smashed. I've dropped my S7 a few times, one of them was when I accidentally smashed it against my work desk and dropped it face first on the metal leg at the bottom, no damage. I dropped my S5 in my bathroom from waste height and the screen shattered.

It's about the way it lands and the part of the phone that gets hit.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Out of all those I would only need phone insurance so it works out better to use a seperate insurer. I suppose it would be a no brainer if I need to use all of those services.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
No one should ever need overdraft protection. Lol. But maybe I'm the only one that pays attention to how much money is in my account...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] felixthecat:
Yup . Me too. Great deal.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

The travel insurance covers the whole family too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rubberwheels:
I know this is old, if you purchased the phone with a credit card. Check if your card has purchase protection. I bought it with a Chase freedom card and they reimbursed me for fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatik21:
If I dropped my phone with a case on it and it still broke, I would be legit pissed off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] renegade1488:
I was gloating about how I didn't need phone insurance and I had an excellent case on my phone, but had not found a decent screen protector yet.

Dropped it about 10 hours later and am now £206 poorer :'(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ridanxvi:
I dropped my S7E three times already with UAG case but thankfully no cracks,drop from table, my pocket. You should invest on good rugged case for this phone because I saw posts that have their screen crack with just thin fit or slim case. Or you are just unlucky man.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zkyevolved:
This phone is a bit of a dilemma. It's a gorgeous phone and you want to use it bare, which is fine. But then people shouldn't complain about it breaking. It's a curved screen! It's more shatter prone than a flat screen. So, the solution? Get a huge case and screen protectors! For me screen protectors are a total must! I hate micro scratches on the screen, destroys the experience.

Regardless, so the ultra thin and sexy S7 Edge is either a disaster waiting to happen if you drop it, or a still fashionable brick with a huge case :) I love the UAG case, not bricklike at all! I also have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle. and a few others :) ... It's fun to change!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mayoskar:
I dropped my S7E on cement floor from like 50cm (please feel free to convert this to your imperial unit of choice ;D). Fortunately it dropped on the back side and cracked only the glass there (spider web pattern). I'll send it in and pay the price of not getting a decent bumper - but it's beautiful without any case on it, but I will use one in the future. First world problems :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] latino147:
Will it still cover a cracked screen whenever you root the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Simone:
Urban Armor Gear hasn't failed me yet ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
I don't know for sure, but my guess is yes. The entire transaction is handled via the web. You file a claim, the 3rd party insurance provider sends you a new or reconditioned phone, you send your broken one back. You're not dealing with a Samsung repair facility that examines your phone before doing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dave7802:
Its all about absorbing that shock from the initial impact.

And i dont mean the shock of the user who drops it haha.

I have always used though cases on my phones, Never had a broken device.

Purchased the S7, and as many have stated, It feels bloody beautiful in your hand.

I was adamant to not protect it with a case, it just feels to nice to hide it away.

I dropped it in the kitchen, from a decent height too, Slight scratch on the screen (Hairline mark, nothing that would raise a eye brow)

So i slapped on a Spigen case, While it feels so much bigger, it feels so much safer.

Like when i dropped my phone in the rain yesterday, It slip about 10 ft across the pavement (Screen down) Dropped of a little 1 ft ledge and landed on the corner.

Not a single mark, Apart from a little scuff on the case, Am sure the S7 would of survived, But am sure a crack of heavy scratch marks would be present.

Listen boys, dont be silly, wrap it up. Its just not worth the chance ;) Pmwahahaa

Is there really a reset button under the sim flap? Maybe you damaged the internals when trying this..
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Yes, I've used it many times it's highly unlikely to damage it from that. Unless you press it harder than a gentle touch.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaser66:
Yes, there it is, well, by now I am collecting more info and try about fully discharge my phone in order to get a RED permanent charging Led light (for future reference, seems that a Pulsing RED charging led means NO detection of battery...), by no today at morning I put my phone on charger and it only warn a little, and according with some info, the best chance by now is to plug it for a long time (other models of xperia reports around wait 24+ hours for get a RED permanent light...)

By now, I already purchased a set of adhesive gaskets, in preparation to open my phone (I did in the past and have some skills for doing it, but not that I really like to do over a so new and expensive phone... :( ), since by now, if I fail in got a RED permanent charging light, seems that the next step is to open back cover a remove battery connector, plug in usb cable connected to wall charger and then after 3 minutes wait, reconnect battery connector with the usb cable still attached, this would reset a really brick phone, and suppose tho reset the charging process of xperias...

By now, and in case of help other people that may need it now or in future, the guide that I am following advice is this:

[GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

The info in the page seems with lots of sense, and the charging process description seems very similar at I would believe could be used in my previously Z2 and my now in comma, Z5P.... But by now, I need to get a RED light in order to try to unbrick without need to open back cover glass.... :(

Any info, advice, comments or better, experience share, would be very gratefull...

Best regards...

I know you probably have but did you try holding volume up and power to force reset it?

You say you couldn't get a proper installation of hardware, so the computer can see the device? Is it showing an exclamation point next to the device driver?

Edit: Go to device manager and right click phone and do update drivers.

Click browse for update yourself and direct it to WINDOWS/INF folder and check "include subfolders".

Then click where it says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

Then click Android phone from the list and click MTP USB driver and click OK for install.

Your phone should be installed correctly.

Then try fastboot etc.

Hi,

I'm currently using your latest rom, and its great in terms of stability and overall features it contains. I had a small request which i thought i'd post, and decided to make a separate thread so that ppl can drop all their requests too, so here goes!

And now for my request -

It would be great if you could add PQz II into the default rom. Its a small app to enable control/alt key combos with a lot of other features for phone shortcuts, button shortcuts etc. Its freeware too! You can find it at www.nicque.com/pqz

if you could make the following customizations so that pqz starts this way by default, thats an added bonus -

1. Has the path to the "icon" bitmap (by default, its just a white blotch until you specify an icon in the default installation. the icon comes within the package though)

2. Set default keys to the SYM key for control and alt.

3. Make PQz start at windows bootup by default by adding a link in the registry

Cheers and I appreciate the great work!

Hi,

I will see what it does and try today ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
Nice.

I tried it already because sometimes I miss ctrl and alt.

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi,

Which keys do you set for ctrl and alt, cause they aren't on keyboard?

Fn + Tab maybe?

Also how to set a icon for the today I don't know?

Can the icon in upper tray moved to bottum tray?

2 many questions haha...

Cheers,

Leo ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
He he, nice questions. :p

I tried the app but quited after some minutes because I couldn't find a way to get it working, lol

Nevertheless if working, it could be a good improvement.

Luis
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
with all do respect, PQz suck.

it really messes up the keyboard control for other programs, such as games for example...

if you really need it, install it. it only takes a couple of seconds and a couple of lousy KBs, if i remember correctly.

Rom devs can't include apps everytime users have a spacial request. That's what kitchens are for...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
Normally, we set the "SYM" key for both Control & alt. This way, you press sym once, its control (shows on the icon, once set!), press it again it becomes alt. Its soooooo useful, i cant tell you.....you must try it!

i use it extensively, to do control+c, cntrl+v, blah!

The icon should be on top, so that it shows what you've pressed (control or alt).

The cooler part is the other sub-modules it has such as phone shortcuts, app shortcuts, system shortcuts etc. For example, i can set shortcuts such as alt+Alphabet for speed dials for all my contacts. No matter what application you're currently using, just hit Alt+S to dial a contact for instance, or even fire an application!

I also use, Alt+X to close current app, alt+0 to close all apps....really useful!

Try it out for a while, you cant live without it!

Cheers!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
Can you add these files to Windows\ directory?

If you could add these to \Windows directory, it would be great! It changes the basic "Open/select file" dialog to browse through folders in a standard windows way rather than scanning through all folders and showing it as one single list!

It overrides this dialog at all places. For instance, when you try and add an attachment to your email, it shows standard folders for you to navigate and pick the right file, rather than making one giant list of all files on all folders!

San

EDIT: There's a small bug in wm6, the softkey labels are not shown though (not a big deal as long as you know what they are!) :(. The left softkey is "Up" one folder, and right softkey is for "Menu" when the open file dialog is active. Make sure you activate it under Settings->System->FileDialog and check the option in there!

Well... I tested a bit.

But it does screw up other functionings.
