Tell me if your S7/S7 Edge also has this small gap that lets debris inside...

[VerticalDiscussions]

Hi folks. Quick question, does your S7/S7 Edge have a small gap between the aluminium frame and the backglass that allows dust and apparently a small piece of cookie inside but wont let it go all the way through?

 

Cant believe stupid Samsung has got me with another defective phone, i dont even know if i should duck this thing in water to see if its cleaned... but hey you tell me because my fingernail tip can fit in the gap.

 

Thanks... and i just took this phone out of my Otterbox Strada case, an Otterbox case! If this phone gets damaged while inside an Otterbox case... holy hell, im for real quitting Samsung for good.

What if your phone actually bakes cookies? That would explain how the cookie piece got in there.

After all, Samsung has a reputation for phones that cook.

Yeah...

 

 

Honestly i dunno anymore, all i know is that whatever the heck got in that tiny "valley" between the glass and the side rails, is hurting my eyes and soul.

 

This is my 4th Sammy flagship for the love of all that is holy.

 

If i dunk this phone in water, i dunno what will happen.

I can confirm the phone has been 99% of the time since the case arrived, inside the case.

 

As soon as i get it out, something gets stuck underneath the glass?

well, it's probably not water resistant anymore. I'm not sure that it is eligible for a replacement either, but yeah, I feel you, I have an iPhone 6, the flagship from 2014 that bends

Yeah well i gained some balls of steel and went ahead with the phone to the closest water tap and started dipping it in the area where that "cookie or bread or whatever" debri was in.

 

The phone is still working, surprisingly, but the debri is still stuck... ugh -.-

[Bruno_A]

Well, just because it's still working, doesn't mean it hasn't been affected by water. I've seen many water damaged iPhones that still work (with some side effects, but still working). Some of those "side effects" are phone temperature and battery duration. I think you should take the phone to a Samsung store.

Yeah that is true, but i wanted to add something up.

 

So rather than just dropping some water on the area where it had that small spec of whatever it was, i gave a royal shower to this phone, used a cottonswab and a toothpick and i was able to remove the spec stuck between the glass back and the aluminium frame.

 

Now i shall wait for some long term effects, if somethings fishy tomorrow i guess ill have to get it repaired... but, this was an insurance provided phone, from Italy.

 

The problem is if water damage occurs, they wont help me anyways. Ill just wait and see and hope for the best i guess, because this phone probably wouldnt even have support in Portugal nor does it have an issurance plan on it, but hey last time i sent my N4 to repair (4 times) it came back the same or worse so i guess i would have to do some DIY JerryRigEverything style fix in here...
