Took mine to the water park. It got fully submerged a couple times and it kept on ticking.

The only think I ran into was it wouldn't charge when I got home. I tapped the bottom of the phone into the palm of my hand and some water came out of the charging port, speaker, and headset jack, however I didn't get a message that detected moisture. After I tapped it, I let it dry a little longer, and then it started charging again. All good and I got some great video of my daughter screaming through the Tornado!

I just recently took my s7 Edge into the pool for about 15 mins. I was never more than about 2' deep. Afterwards it got real buggy, "Okay Google" would constantly come on. The touch screen worked just fine, so I sent it in to Samsung and they fixed it free of charge. They had to replace the screen, headphone jack and speaker. So I'm cautious now. Just a tip if you return it to Samsung for a warranty issue, they tried really hard to get my credit card info and after about 10 mins of telling them I absolutely would not give it to them since I just paid full price for my device they finally stopped asking.

I'm using my phone for navigation and been using it during heavy rain a couple of times with no problem other than the water fools the touchscreen like I was pushing it sometimes. It's. Okay and not a design flaw. I just would be nice to lock the screen still keeping it on in Google maps on these occasions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Linus Tech Tips took this phone and several others down to 30 feet in ocean water (video on YouTube). The S7 is the only one that made it to 20 feet and survived just fine. At 30 feet deep, it initially survived (screen came on while 30 feet deep), but died a few seconds later. Seems like the quality on the water sealing is mostly fine, but some phones may not be perfect as evidenced by some people having failures.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] yes_thisis_joey:
Took it for a swim

first I tried it by just putting it under water and taking a selfie, then i dove in. I bought this nifty ring that sticks to the back of my cheapo TPU case, so i held on to that and literally dove in, phone first. Amazing camera quality even under water. Speakers sound weird for like an hour or so afterwards, otherwise its all good :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cryptikman:
The phone survives occasional trips into the water. Like if I want to take a quick underwater photo in the pool or ocean. But I think people need to realize that it is not waterproof and should not stay under for too long or too deep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Doghan13:
I've put my S7 edge under water to take pictures this afternoon, during 5 minutes. No troubleshooting after that. Of course, it's just for a simple use. I will never use my phone under water for too many times or too long.

Just keep it dry after going out of water to not have moistures.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 5star02707:
hey man just saw your post just want to ask since they replaced the screen on your phone did you notice any changes to it's water resistance or not?

i brought back my phone because a white line started to appear across the screen they said they will look at it and see if it can be repaired, now since your repair was successful is your phone the same as before like brand new with a new fitted screen?

Hey, a few days ago i went ahead and tried it out also in the swimming pool, and everything was working and still works excellent :D I was very afraid because there are many people who got water damage, but happily, my phone did handle it without any issues. I hope that it will continue to be like that :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TCPDump:
I am always putting mine in water to show it off. At work yesterday I complained that my screen had fingerprints on it, so I put it under the water stream in the sink and soaped it down, then wiped it off with paper towers. Suffice to say, others were confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Do not use soap on your phone. :eek:

Soap is a surfactant which lowers the surface tension of the water. With a reduced surface tension, the water can and likely will go past the speaker into the phone. The ONLY thing stopping water from getting into the phone through the speaker grille is a tiny mesh screen which will keep water out to a certain pressure/depth and when its surface tension is not altered - it is not actually 100% sealed like the rest of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TCPDump:
I get free replacements, so I don't mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hardik190:
Water started entering to ny device after tge replacement of the led. Evryrhinf stopped working inspite of the screen showing like a dummy. They r telling me watee damage but its hust unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TCPDump:
How did you get the water damage?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Most of the rest of us don't, so knowing that the water resistance of the S7/S7E depends on the surface tension of water is very helpful. In another thread around here someone ruined his S7 by washing it with soapy water and Sammy wouldn't replace it because he water damaged it.

People should also know that there is no moisture barrier that would keep steam/water vapor out. That can turn the indicators red even if the phone hasn't been submerged. If there is any kind of hardware failure and Samsung sees red, they can deny warranty service.

I tend to err on the side of caution and not treat a $700 electronic device like a bath toy. But to each his own...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hardik190:
I got a scratch on front glass. I replaced the glass in warranty then wheenevr the mobile got it nevee showed any moisture warning. Thw wayer straightaway started hitting the motherboard. I wil put a case on samsung if the arent replacing the device. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bilboa1:
I had a Z3 before and given "careful" use i had no issue with waterproofness. I diped it in rivers and stuff to make nice underwater videos.

I'm expecting the S7 to handle the same (I didnt have a chance to put it in the river yet!). That means: No salt water. No strong current. No swimming. No walking ages in water with the phone submerged/in the pocket.) Basically not asking too much of it, but still relying on it being fully-waterproof. Hopefully I wont have to warranty it ever :) (the Z3 never leaked in my case)

I'm a chef so my phone gets covered in all kinds of stuff.

I regularly rinse it off completely under the tap and never had a problem.

It doesn't charge straight afterwards (says water detected when plugged in) but that's normal and once it dries it's fine
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] techsc:
Hello,

I'd appreciate to assign the 'volume' window to a hardware button - let's say the Button 6 (Voice Dial, which i never use).

The volume window is the one, you normally get then tapping on the volume icon on top of the screen.

This window should open/close by pressing the hardware button. Once it is open, I can set the actual volume with the Jog Wheel.

Any help is appreciated!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RPG0:
You can try something: install Wisbar Advance 3 just for trial. i know that you can show that "volume bubble" by pressing buttons on the taskbar, and i know it offers some links in the programs folder for utilities, like switch task etc., but i'm not sure if it brings a new link for that volume bubble (i unfortunately uninstalled WA3 yesterday so i cannot test - maybe someone who has it installed can verify the links so you don't have to install it...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] techsc:
With Wisbar Advance 3 it works ;)

Chris
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RPG0:
hmmm, can you post the content of the link that does that ? or the .lnk file ? so others can do this without WA3...

Hello, I am using android marshmallow stock rom (v30b) and I wonder if there is any way to get the pure android look on it (AOSP).

I've tried some themes but there's nothing like the AOSP look.

I also tried some ROMs on my phone like CM13 but the battery is draining too fast.

Is there any way I can get the AOSP look on my phone (notifications panel, lock screen etc..)

If not, what is the best stable ROM (AOSP) for my phone (D855) with the best battery life?

Whenever i connect my device to my pc before it was bricked it showed hardware mt6582 (mt8312 is fake ) in mtkdroid tools,so i flashed mt6582 rom.

But its now bricked.The only thing i can acess is HBOOT menu and in which only fastboot mode works. Recovery is also not working,when i select recovery from HBOOT menu it gets stuck at brand logo and does not proceeds further. I have some of the files that i backed up before getting it bricked from clockworkmod recovery.

These are the file:

boot.img

Hi All..I have a galaxy S4 paired to by Asus zenwatch 2. I keep flashing custom ROMS and am tired of always having to factory reset and pair ZW2 to the phone..

Finally found a way of surviving custom ROM flashing..Steps in below post
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kenkiller:
No. Stop flashing roms.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kirankowshik:
On XDA once you are used to custom roms..That's not possible bro :)

Anyways thanks for the response..I hope some way comes out sooner or later for flashaholics..
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kirankowshik:
1. Lets suppose your android watch is paired with Phone A OR Phone with ROM A

2. You have flashed Rom B on your phone or using a new Phone B

3. Now, enable developer options on your watch and turn on ADB Debugging

4. Connect Watch to PC and open command prompt. Ensure that the command 'adb devices' lists your watch. If not use ADB Fastboot tools from the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

5. Run the command adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot" for your watch. This should reboot your watch

6. Run Android Wear app on your phone and it discovers your watch and syncs :)

Try xz dual recovery it worked for me,make sure you are rooted either via supersu or superuser ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sithu Htun:
-Root yours using any method (.108 is kinda easy to root, for me I use kingroot.net).

-Install Nut's Dual Recovery using appropriate one from nut.xperia-files.com (don't forget to enable and authorize incoming USB connection on your phone and allow root access).

-As soon as it finished installing, it should boot into TWRP (if no error occurred, sometimes using old version of nut recovery installer works when not installing)

-Flash Latest SuperSU zip (If you want SuperSU instead of Kingroot, Kingoroot, etc.).

Good Luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raykyogrou0:
I bought this tablet thinking it would be the best of both worlds. But the partition used for Android was rather small (4GB), and got full pretty quickly. It would seem like such a hassle to resize the partition used for Windows (21gb) because they were arranged like this in disk management: 64mb-16mb-16mb-etc-1gb partition for who knows what-4gb partition for Android-more 64mb partitions-windows partition-500mb recovery partition. Now I thought I'd use my 64gb micro SD and divide it into two partitions, one being an EXT2 of 20gb for apps. I'd need to use the app LINK2SD to move the apps, but lo and behold, Android was not rooted. (I kind of assumed it was)

So I tried to root the android portion of this tablet, using information from this page

(http://xdaforums.com/andr...p-cwm-t2975096), selecting T4 as the trigger. It didn't show the option to install a package and I ended up selecting "recovery" instead. It rebooted into the tablet's own recovery mode, where I didn't do anything. Prior to rebooting, I got the screen to select either OS, but Windows was gone. Now what? I also tried the Kingo program via my laptop prior to the method mentioned on the link above, but it kept getting stuck at 23% and 10%, idk if that may have done something. Anyways, now when I try to force boot to Windows (by selecting "boot to windows" after pressing the power button), but all I keep getting is this command prompt-like environment. Is my windows partition lost or something? Please help.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joker66599:
Hello i have been freaking out and researching this for hours. (found nothing)

What I did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9gL_4KNs_Q

I have T-Mobile.

Now when my phone boots up it keeps shutting off. stays on for 1-5 seconds

I then did a factory reset and cleared the cache.

I can some times get it to the home screen and flip back and forth on the different screens then it shuts off. I have seen I have superuser on in the apps but don't get a lot of time to check root before it shuts off.

I do have red text on the Samsung logo screen that says "kernel is not seandroid enforced" (Spelling)

What do I do?

Safe mode also shuts off.

I can get to download mode and recovery mode

I just cant get it to stay on .

Any help would be great thanks.

Additional info

Update more info: When I factory reset. I do get an error failed to mount /preloader (no files or directory) wording might be a bit off but that's about what it says.

No It does not restart when I charge it. But it does show the battery image and charges.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joker66599:
Sorry for the miss communication.

Lets try this again.

I can plug the phone in and it charges while its turned off. you know the battery screen.

I can volume up, home and power For down load mode

I can volume down home and power (factory reset, cache delete so on)

I can get ODIN to connect but I cant flash the firmware I found. Maybe its the wrong firmware? Could you point me to what I need?

But when I just turn it on either charging or not it shuts it self off a few seconds later. Seems to happen after a message about auto time and date pops up. And when I say shuts down it just shuts off no like shut down screen or anything.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamatnitotoy:
ok start again, please put all info so it wont be confusing:

what initiate the problem?

did you install a custom rom?

are you rooted?

what phone model are you using?

odin version?

have you tried flashing thru samsung switch? if not, try it

Update:

I just got my phone back from Samsung. On Friday they told be they didn't fix it because it was rooted and said they are mailing it back. Well now I don't have a phone so I Saturday I went and got a new s7 edge from t mobile. Its now Wednesday and I get my phone from Samsung. I open the package all bummed wondering what I am going to do with this phone. I then see the phone is in a small blue draw bag thing I thought it was cool so I open it to look at it and I see my phone light it. The sim card and tray on taped to the back of the phone but my phone is on! I then sat here looking at it waiting for it to reboot. I put my sim card. Then a screen popped up saying reboot? and I click yes :( . I was so mad at myself but then it restarted and everything was ok. I installed root checker and I have root access. the phone has now been on for the last hour or so. Not sure if it was something Samsung did or taking the sim card out did something.

But now I have a rooted s6 edge plus rooted and a s7 edge. and out like 600 bucks :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedster_1:
Best solution, use Samsung's Smart Switch software (download from their site) and restore to factory ROM and kernel (official Samsung version). If it is anything software related, this will definitely fix it.

in case you dont know the steps: open smart switch, connect device (make sure its detected), got to more > emergency software recovery & initialization > Device initialization > type in your exact model name at the bottom > then serial number (make sure you type it correctly > type ok, follow instructions, and let it do its thing .

Try this and let me know how it goes. Good luck.
