Strange how my phone, all the display models in every store I've looked at, and everyone I know with one of these phones has abrasions of some sort. Not one of them is flawless. You keep believing that the MOHs scale doesn't exist and that your phone won't become scratched. It's coming bud, so get ready.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Stixxbixby:
Haha. Believe me, I meticulously look everyday in many lighting situations & have absolutely no scratches to speak of. I'll keep looking though...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ingenious247:
All phones get scratched over time. That's not being debated here.

What I am talking about, is everyone boo-hooing that this phone scratches like it's made of soap. It's glass. Those micro-scratches you're talking about? That's scratches in the oleophobic coating. Not the glass. Though the oleophobic coating seems really good on this phone, which is why I don't even have any micro scratches.

I really don't care to discuss it further. People keep talking about the lack of "evidence" from those of us who don't have scratches (??) yet they all post how easy their phone got scratched with no pics, no "evidence", and claiming they baby their phone. So what makes mine so special then? I treat it like I treat every phone I've ever owned.. right front pocket dedicated to phone only, keep it on a pad of legal paper on my desk when not in my pocket, or the arm of my sofa if I'm at home.

Back when I had the Nexus 4, now THAT phone scratched like you wouldn't believe, don't know why. I believe they used an inferior oleophobic coating or really ****ty glass, because I treated my phone the same as I do now. However, I don't see that issue with the Note 7, and I get a new phone every 6-8 months, so I've experienced quite a few phones. I don't find the Note 7 glass to be delicate at all.

But since I have "no evidence" I'll refrain from discussing this further.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Lmao scratches in the oleophobic coating ftw
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
If my finger nail can get caught in the hairline scratch I have, its not the "coating".

Also even if it was, what do they magically disappear. Self healing. lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Stixxbixby:
Speaking of scratches *cough* & preventing them, I ordered an oem Samsung clear case for my replacement Note. However, has anyone tried the oem screen protector from Sammy? Wondering if it actually covers the curved edges? Still want to possibly take preventative measures even though I dislike screen protectors in general...

True, but those wouldn't be "micro" scratches, that would be a genuine scratch in the glass.. which is not what many of the complainers are talking about.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
I was laughing at the fact that my scratches are caught with my fingernail and are clearly into the glass. Another mind blowing revelation is that I've had 17 phones with oleophobic coatings which have not scratched.

My buddy dropped his note 5 yesterday and his screen spiderwebbed. Maybe it was the oleophobic coating and not the glass lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ingenious247:
So you have "a thousand scratches along the bottom edge" that are in the glass??

You're comical bro. Straight up. What did you do, put the bottom of your phone in a paper shredder? This is the type of BS that makes me completely disregard everything you're saying.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
I mean do you need a picture to believe the facts that are coming from my finger tips? I've already explained to you how I use my phone. I also put it in my backpack once while riding my motorcycle and it went into a clean sock. The scratches are exactly where my phone rests when it's laying down. The top of the phone rests on the camera bezel and the bottom on the glass where the scratches are. It doesn't get slid around. Ever. If you didn't have yours on a sheet of paper you would have the scratches.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] hotstocks:
Guys, let me end this debate. GG5 has the same scratch resistance as GG4, but better shatter resistance. I have a Note 4 with GG4 2 years and never a scratch, I keep pretty good care of my phone with a case but never use screen protectors. Before I had to turn in the Note 7 due to battery recall, I purposely took my keys and tried to scratch the thing. Guess what it wouldn't scratch. So normal use ain't gonna scratch this thing. Now with that said, I have read that table salt and sand will scratch ANY glass. You would think why won't a metal knife or keys, but a stupid grain of sand or salt will? Well salt and sand are a lot more abrasive then metal, hell they can even scratch diamonds I hear. So bottom line I live in Michigan, I don't need a screen protector and I won't get a scratch on my Note 7 unless I throw it on a table at a restaurant with salt. There is no ocean and I don't live in a desert. Now if I lived in Cali or Florida and brought my phone to the beach, you better believe I would have a screen protector. THE END
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:

And then theres this https://youtu.be/571pu66vEBc

Soo basically you cant speak for every use case yet you still claim that this phone cannot be scratched from normal use..

Lol so nothing is proved at all. Another anecdotal example of "proof".

I babied my first one, like to the point of obsession and I still got scratches. The replacement was scratched by the CSR and they wouldnt let me exchange it when I finally saw it because of the recall.

I didn't baby this one as much because I dont expect to keep it. I have a case with a lip clearance for the front and still I managed to get a decent scratch on the front of that one.

When I replace it, they arent touching it at tmo. It's going from the box directly into a front and back screen protector and a case.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ingenious247:
Ok.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
As of writing this, my Note 7 has been without a screen protector since I received on the 20th of Sept. So far no micro or major scratches. It has been kept in a Samsung flip case. Before using it, I always give a quick puff of air to the screen, and wipe with my finger or soft fabric lightly. So far this has worked for me!

It has not been invalidated but thank you for your input. Both my note v1 and note V2 have scratched easier than any other device I have used.

So the guy makes a video stating in his test the glass scratches at a certain level, then makes a video stating that he made a mistake. That doesn't invalidate the original video?

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] carhigh:
So i posted this in another thread and cant change the topic of it so ill just post this here and combine them with a little more attention on the gps part since there are issues with no results,

Heres what i posted before:

---->My LG G5 went back to LG. WIFI bluetooth dead

always leave wifi on over night. woke up and wifi and blue tooth dead. bluetooth turns on then turns off 2 seconds later. wifi hangs the phone and forever stays turning on wifi.

then i searched for att update and there was one little over 600mb. to bad i couldnt download it without wifi.

reset phone several times and restored to factory a few times and would never change. Reset the phone to factory final time before shipping and bluetooth actually turned on and worked. Wifi still dead

any history or this issue?

I had the phone for a whooping 2 months. I miss it. on a sony for now <-----

When i reset the phone for the last time before putting it in the box heading for LG, Bluetooth turned on and worked. Connected a device. BUT wifi still failed to turn on. it would just say turning on wifi and hang.

I get it back from LG and the slip says "symptom - GPS test fail" "repair - download new software"

im wishing right now that i had checked the gps before sending it out. Never had a problem that i seen with gps and i had been using it a couple times a week
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] NimbleWeasel:
LG devices

Hi there!

I had a similar problem on my G2. Have been doing a lot of google research lately, and I found out that there are a LOT of people out there with the same (or similar) problem. The tricky thing with this problem is the fact that it is very hard to tell if it is a software issue, a hardware issue, or a mixture of both.

Here are some links to youtube videos, you will recognize the effect immediately when you see it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGnQz1zUmw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W8YJMDFM88

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cuyjt_nexus-5-turning-wifi-on-frozen-problem_tech

I've fixed the problem on my device, but I am still trying to track down details about the root cause of the problem. From all that I've seen and read through so far, I currently believe that the malfunction is caused by a defective solder joint between the WiFi/BT chip and the motherboard, which in it's turn may induce some consequent software issues, but no proof on that.

Further more, it seems to me that mainly LG devices are affected; it doesn't matter if it's a G2, G3, G4, G5 or Nexus etc., as long as LG is the manufacturer, it seems that the device is specially prone to this error. Probably LG has been using the same (error-prone) WiFi/BT chip for all their devices, I haven't gone into those details yet. On the other hand, the cumulation of these errors at LG could be pure coincidence and I could be completely wrong, of course.

The reason that leads me to assume it is the WiFi/BT chip is that, if you apply pressure on the chip (during operation), pushing it against the main board, the WiFi/BT functionality is restored; letting go will interrupt the function again.

Another thing I've been wondering, is how the solder joint gets broken in the first place. I know that I've dropped my device a few times; also, my WiFi/BT stopped working one fine morning, after recharging it over the night, as is happened with yours. I have several times noticed that the phone gets very warm, or even hot, when recharging. This leads me to believe that the defect is induced via mechanical or/and heat stress.

If you are interested, here is an incomplete list of stuff that I've tried until I finally was able to restore the functionality using some tape strips:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] carhigh:
my story is ended pretty much with that lg g5. my wife decided to get off the samsung band wagon and get an lg g5 so i got a new one for free. Im just going to sell the repaired phone and hope for the best with the new ones.

I just cant understand why the paper work said gps test fail and the repair was download new software. I played with it and everything seemed to work again.

Tons and tons of people are having issues with gps. Could it be a hardware problem some people insist on or is it just a software update??????

Maybe they should recall these g5's and get us out of the business of being test dummies.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ryanpm40:
According to my carrier, Verizon, it is indeed a known hardware defect, and not software-related. I am having bluetooth dropping issues, too, and it's driving me nuts. My Wifi tends to need to be toggled off and on every now and then, but I just chalked that up to my terrible intermittent connection in my building.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Droidforce:
Got Mine G5 Repaired because I was having GPS issues. My G5 is on it's way back and the repair notice listed as follows:

Defect: WI-FI detection problem

Repair Results: Bluetooth/WIFI module

I called them to say I had no WIFI or Bluetooth issues, however they told me it's all one module. Still not sure why it listed the defect as WIFI detection, but maybe it's not a free form field and that was the closest thing they could select. I should have it by Friday and hopefully the replacement module is different. I know that squeezing the sides of my phone made it work better so I also thought it was a contact problem.

At this point, I would like to try Cyanogen or some other rom on it. But I can't seem to get anything to work.

I'm able to get into the download mode of the phone.

I had an G4 that bootlooped and I was able to fix it temporarily with the patch ... sadly it was a promotional phone and can't/won't fix it. Well, it finally finished dying. I really enjoyed the phone - camera, experience, speed, everything - but I'm nervous about buying a new MB as it may not work properly or just have the same issues again. That and i'm wary of the parts from asia.

From your experiences, what is a better method: go for it and replace the MB or just get another phone. Perhaps even just replace the G4 for a little more than the cost of a new MB?
