[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] calum1904:
Oh really need to move to Australia haha. I have found that because my phone is less then 6 months old then they have to prove that the fault wasn't with the phone when I brought it

Yeah can do

youtu[dot]be/s5J9dzpMyrQ this is before the screen went

youtu[dot]be/LTCr4Lt7riw this proves it still functions

goo[dot]gl/mg8FDS image that I was sent by A Novo

Sorry to hear that bud! Yeah I checked mine too and it's still white! let me know how you get on, good luck!

Sounds like a lot of people are having problems with the "water-resistance". Let us know how it goes, good luck

Yeah they are similar to ones here in the UK! I've seen ones with lil Wayne pouring champagne over it and putting it in a fish tank too...

I thought the IP rating was IP68?

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-s/galaxy-s7/design/

Still, it should withstand upto 1.5M for 30mins as per the above link.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Komaandy:
Yes, sorry, my bad. Stupid typo. IP87 doesnt even exist...

The fact is that IF something happens, they just claim its your fault, because (!sic) you probably didnt keep the Simslot properly tightly closed(!sic). End of story for Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
My S7E have this exact same problem before (glitch screen then went completely black screen but everything else work including touch screen) and It was fixed by just a screen replacement by local Samsung service centre under the warranty. I live in Thailand by the way.

I don't think it's water damaged. I did put my phone underwater before but there's nothing wrong with it. The water damage indicator didn't turn red either which indicated no water entered the phone.

I think it's just faulty screen batch and the affected device is among the early batch S7E.

Anovo is the one who run the Samsung service centre, right?

If so, I think Anovo is just being irresponsible.

I see nothing in the image they sent. I can't see anything indicate that the phone was water damaged. It also too blurry to see anything else.

Also from what I thought, since the phone is water resistance showing the image of outside the phone shouldn't be able to tell anything about water damage since it's the part that won't get or allow the phone to get water damaged. If they really wanted to show the damage, they must show the component inside the phone that get damaged.

In conclusion, the image they sent is nonsense and useless.

I'm not sure but maybe filing a lawsuit can help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kinoal:
Hello all!

I got the same problem. My screen has now a big lign without pixels and the screen is blinking a lot.

I've bought it in belgium at Mediamarkt. I'll go today to post it to repair. I hope that I'll not take too long before get my repair.

I never try to put it in the water or anything like that. It's protected by a Spigen Case and the phone is perfect not even a single scratch on it or the screen.

I cross my finger also because I've root it so I hope that they not tell me that I lost my warranty for a hardware problem!

Thanks!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
1) Is this on Windows, Linux, or Mac?

2) Were you able to unlock the bootloader on this same computer with no issues?

3) Are you getting this error after each fastboot command or just for "fastboot flash vendor"? If this is an error for any command, you should first update your platform-tools and fastboot.

[Nexus 6  General] Techbyte:
I have been using my Nexus 6 ever since I abandoned Apple. I owned every iPhone from the 3GS to the 6. I picked up my 64GB Cloud White from Amazon when they were $250 and haven't looked back since. I've always been a big techy and can't believe I stayed on boring IOS so long.

That said, when I first got my Nexus 6 of course I started trying out some custom ROMs. Pure Nexus ended up being my favorite. I just liked being able to mod my status and nav bar really. It was fun trying out ROMs, Kernels, etc. It was all new to me.

Now, I've come to the point where it just doesn't really matter to me. I prefer Android to IOS regardless. The damn App drawer is enough to make me never go back. I like stock Android the way it is. I also like using and having the ability to use Android Pay. So I roll stock. I take my OTAs and Security updates as they come and call it a day.

So, why do you prefer custom ROMs / Kernels and having ROOT to stock Android? Like, what are your deal breakers that pull you from stock to rooted / custom ROMs and Kernels?

EDIT:

Thank you all for your responses. I was in no way trying to down people for modding out their own property, I was actually looking to see why some people feel root / roms are required. I just read through all of the responses and I seen quite a few that I didn't even know about or think of. Interesting.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Mostly due to the locked down nature. You have to remember where you are. This site was made by and for developers that take what they are given and want to make it better. You will find that most people here dont run stock software on anything. Be it their router, PC, PS4, X1 or anything else they can get their hands on.

Personally Android pay is not big for most of us. It is unsecure and not really handy when you have to carry your wallet anyway.

In the end it is all about choice. Many of my homescreen set ups require root to run.

The biggest thing for me is to theme it. Android stock just looks too ugly for me to even think about using.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Layers and blacked out apps of the TBO-team.

For better readability and battery life I prefer a black/dark background.

Without root this configuration is not possible.

A child knows that a white background on devices with an amoled display causes battery drain. Apparently Google does not know that .
[Nexus 6  General] Holyman007:
For the same reason you rooted and rom'd in the first place: customizations.

I'm quite picky on how everything is laid out and stock android doesn't give me most options that current roms like pure nexus offers while still having amazing performance.

Simple things like rearranging the quick drawer wasn't even available on stock until marshmallow came out while custom roms could do it way before then.

Dpi settings and xposed modules are enough for me to root.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
roms/kernels, and so on.. not really important to me. sure, they are nice to have, but not a necessity. the only thing thats necessary to me is root. not because of what 98% of you are thinking, but for what root actually is, to have access to all the administrative rights. stock or custom rom, as long as i am #1 in deciding the fate of my device.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I like that. The principal. But the majority accepts the fact of paying a lot of money for a device with reduced functionality.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
the majority also do whatever their neighbor(or friend, family member, and so on..) does, just because. im not in the majority, nor do i ever want to be.. :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
ill drink to that!:good::good:
[Nexus 6  General] mangalo2004:
At this point the biggest reason for root for me now, is app backups. Google has gotten a better, but being able to back up my apps and data for easy restore is a must. Sat what you will about Apple, but since day 1 you could plug your iPhone into iTunes and make a complete backup of it.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
but who was xposed? almost unlimited customizations, need root but you can do it over a stock base
[Nexus 6  General] fortunz:
I use stock ROMs, but custom kernels for access to kcal color control especially. I read a lot on my nexus including at night, and I like being able to control light color (which relates to eye strain and can affect sleep) with precision. Reading apps have gotten better about offering at least some blue light-free reading modes, but back when they didn't, I got accustomed to having complete control and it's too late for me to settle for Amazon's presets or anyone else's, I can achieve the same color experience no matter what app I use (incl browsers, news readers etc). Second, I prefer the LED for notifications. Third, I like undervolting. Fourth, titanium backup for multiple reasons, but if an app update ever breaks something, I don't have to sweat it, I can roll that back to a working version no trouble.
[Nexus 6  General] jigwashere:
Add blocking is important to me.
[Nexus 6  General] bchaney16:
Pie controls, adjustable screen dpi, adjust screen colors and vibration strength, skip songs with volume button, titanium backup, custom recovery. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of right now. I just like tweaking the device to make it a more effective tool.

I use a light stock rom and lean kernel which is close to stock as well. Just gotta have root and xposed.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Let me answer with another question. Do you expect people, especially in a place like XDA, to be content with locked down device?
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
I have my own hobby project, to make my own custom rom, so that's why I'm not stock, but the only thing I really need is to have root.

All the changes I made were mostly to put my stamp on it, to make it mine, but I've also fixed some stupid things like you can only invoke the Clock application from the status bar if there's a scheduled alarm, instead of tapping any clock or date fields.

Also I brought back the old Electron beam screen off animation, because that was cool. Now I can choose between None, Electron Beam, and the new Color fade. And allowed the dismiss all button, of course.
[Nexus 6  General] GermanyChris:
I don't for the same reason I use Arch I want what I want and no more.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I recently rooted again, primarily because I missed the flexibility that comes with rooting. Deleting apps that you never use. Clear themes. Ad Blocking. If my credit union had Android Pay, I would probably still be stock unrooted.
[Nexus 6  General] mobitote:
Tethering without blowing up my data... I am looking at you Verizon. Gotta give the man a finger. Root coz I can.

Plus ads. If they come up with a way to filter the ads and allow tethering without forcing me to pay extra I would I would gladly stay stock.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I'm on dp3 and rooted with su2.74. I was able to load cards in android pay and it passed that safety net app. I'm going to try and make a purchase tomorrow. If it works, hooray for DP3.

I used Android pay on rooted N. I hope they leave that feature available with root in the final release.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
I'm currently running stock N preview 3 but when I was running rooted it was mainly to access the notification led.

Sadly I have a few streaming apps that refuse to work while rooted and I got tired of fighting them.
[Nexus 6  General] pclov3r:
I guess it depends on use cases. I'm in the same boat as you.

Give me stock unbloated Android and i'm happy.

the only reason I run custom roms is to GET a stock android experience on devices with ****ty skinned versions of android. Even than I'm typically unhappy with most of the so called "AOSP" ROMs full of tweaks and added crap that makes them not AOSP anymore.

IMO people spend way to much time modifying their devices and flashing stuff rather than using the device.

I want a stable problem free device with easy updates and without hassle.

Unfortunately, Many people on here think that your lesser if you don't modify and root your device esp with a nexus device. This stupid article is what i am referring to http://www.xda-developers.com/the-unrooted-enigma-nexus-old-fame

I have no comment for how DUMB this statement is as root in the hands of a inexperienced or casual user is VERY_DANGEROUS. Not to mention the fact it will probably break OTA updates and leave the device in a state were a general user is unable to update it.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Yeah more and more apps are refusing to work if they detect things like root xposed. Not that I blame them really.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Every tool or device not being used the right way can cause danger/trouble. But with smartphones the risk is the payed price of the device.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Oh no the risk is far more then that. With root and a smart hacker the price is your credit score and every other bit of info on your device. Bank account passwords, contact lists, ect.
[Nexus 6  General] pclov3r:
Exactly, Users need to know the risks DO's and DON'T's. This really isn't clearly explained to most users and often seems to be a root free for all with zero consideration.

The problem is that takes time to understand what you are doing.

This as well.

You have to understand the app that is requesting root permissions and what it is doing.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Well see that is the thing. Is unless you see the source code of the app you have no sure fire way to know what it is doing. Sure you have the normal discription but it still all comes down to faith in the developer. Heck I once found a combo (recently refound on another rom) that would auto grant any app root rights without the user ever knowing. That is not even getting into xposed which is a far deeper security risk
[Nexus 6  General] pclov3r:
Sadly, Yes unless you see the code you can't be for sure. However, Installing random apps from new or unknown devs that are requesting root permission i think is a problem obviously.

I guess there is ways you could track what it is doing but that's complex to do.

That is just a complete lack of security what so ever. Auto granting root permissions is just a nightmare. They thought that was GOOD idea?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
No they were unaware of the glitch. I along with a few others found it a few years ago and never released the details outside the dev.

The only way to really track it would be by a running a logcat at all times.
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
just dont put any bank/financial/ deeply personal information on your phone, and dont worry about it; make sure you use different passwords and change them frequently.

I dont put anything on my phone that would compromise any of my personal financial info, so I dont worry about it
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Yes. That's a risk. But I responded because of the words 'very dangerous'. I think that's overdone.

What I read here in the press(Netherlands) concerns mostly phishing. Did not read yet about financial problems caused by a rooted phone.

But you have a point. Google's wants us to use phones for paying. That's not wise imo.
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
yep; for me, a phone is good for anything EXCEPT paying for something..no credit card or bank info on my phone, period
[Nexus 6  General] pclov3r:
You don't because most Android users don't modify their device.

The words very dangerous are not overdone. If your a user that knows what they are doing than the risk is alot less compared to somebody without a clue what's going on.
[Nexus 6  General] Nergal di Cuthah:
Also, just so you know, phishing is only a method of the hackers getting into your phone. Once in, they are able to do things such as: use your phone to call or text premium numbers, set your phone as a node in a botnet, look through your camera, download your data (I.e. Contacts, home address, route to work and time worked), unlock your car/house (if you have smartlocks), infect the phones of friends and family (by sending them text messages) and much much more.

(I guess looking over that list a few of those can be done by phishers even if you aren't rooted but still).
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
We can discuss, but English is not my daily language. I could be wrong. But the word 'danger' is for me associated to 'explosive' etc; not misuse of my phone / password/ data.

Fully agree with you.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
After reading responses in this thread, I understand it.

I see this thing as a security issue. I connect the word 'danger' to 'explosive' etc. English is not my native language.
[Nexus 6  General] GeekMcLeod:
Stock is HUGE. I hate it. My main priority for using custom roms is changing the DPI. Although, on Android N I haven't needed a dpi changer as I can set the display to small. Sadly, it isn't as small as I'd like. There are also a couple apps that work better with root so I like to keep that.
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
You can be Stock Rooted (Systemless) and still be able to use Android Pay without a problem.

I also take my OTAs and security updates as they come and call it a day, I do the following:

​

Download the system image and flash radio, bootloader and the system images manually and call it a day.

On my point, I love stock, but ROOTED why?

The ability to tinker with my files however I want

The satisfaction I get from knowing that *LOOK AT ME, IM DA SUPERUSER NOW*

On the custom kernel side, I always prefer a stock-modified kernel that allows me ONLY TO modify my RGB values.

Which apparently will be included in stock N (given that DP2 had them)
[Nexus 6  General] Techbyte:

[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I rooted my phone because there is a lot installed on stock that i never ever use. And why have all of that installed, it only eats up space.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
As for other devices out there a lot of people come here because the manufacturer or carrier abandoned there device leaving them with a device they may have liked with outdated and insecure software. Many times they can find a custom rom here that has a newer version of android.

I have a Asus TF701 and I love it but even Asus stopped updating it. There are now at least 2 roms with a more updated android version. My next tablet will most likely be a nexus tablet so I can still get updates. I just did not like the look of the current 10 inch nexus tablet.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
You have a good point and I like to add the following.

My Nexus 7 (2012) became very slow after the latest update.

With root access I could remove the system data/apps I do not use. The performance became a lot better.
[Nexus 6  General] RuuddieBoy:
I am thinking about going back to stock soon as well, mostly because custom ROMs (running PureNexus atm) still seem slightly unstable to me. PureNexus doesn't crash, but I notice my phone is getting slower by the week. Going back to stock hopefully fixes this. I am more and more getting into the iPhone target audience, where I think "I just want my phone to work without any bulls***".
[Nexus 6  General] misfitpierce:
Honestly when it comes down to it Google pulls a lot of feature ideas from the developer communities now and I like being on that forefront trying out different roms and kernels to see what I can push my device to do. For some people its just a phone but you are after all on XDA, where its not just a phone but a way of life.
[Nexus 6  General] koyo:
First of all, custom roms are often MUCH more optimized than stock ROMs. Then you have the bloat and crap that comes with it.

And if Google incorporated a Link2SD style thing in their operating system, without some stupid gimick which would turn people away from it, maybe I wouldn't have to root / custom ROM my android.
