it works! It really works. Headphones are great - I could dive underwater with headphones and still listen to music...
my test pictures (sorry for bad quality but it is very hard to get focus on underwater object):
Get it from: http://www.anvika.com/product/tuw19801/
only £14.99!
Any question, please ask me...
I recommend it!

thanks...good/keep it for standby just in case ...

Here is a video of a water resistant bag.
The site is in Dansih but the video is ok.

Most def interesting. I guess would be a nice idea on the beach.
Otherwise I can't think of a time to use this.

thanks maaaaaan

Is there a solution where the earphones are completely waterproof? I know some swimmers train with full underwater headphones.
Basically I want to video Skype with someone from underwater

If I am trying to video skype someone from underwater, I don't care that I can talk or not
But really, has anyone used any other kinds of waterproof phone bags? Any thoughts?

This is interesting product

its only 10 min bath ,than means only 2 songs lool

I wonder when the phone is in the bag, volume is relatively lower, would not affect the listening, the time when I was in the bathroom.
but I was still interested in this product, especially in the water when the need to take pictures or photography

Nice product indeed.

Using the bag for taking underwater photographs and videos would he perfect. Great idea.

The first idea that came to mind when I read this title is probably unsuitable to be posted here in XDA.

i have much more cheaper case than topic starter http://dx.com/waterproof-bag-case-with-strap-for-cell-phone-mp3-mp4-random-color-105164
but anyway its possible to swim underwater and take photos\videos with its help

Share ur true story

Let's share our story of how we almost drop our phone and the mini heart attack it gave.
This is my story. I never drop my phone before and it is just less than half a month old.
I used to hate how it is a bit tight to plug the charger jack into the phone, until....
It was like any normal day, nothing out of the ordinary happen. The sun rise and and my day pass like yesterday. Night came and i needed to charge my phone. So I plug in my charger to the phone as how i always do. I was not prepared for what would happen next and how it would change how I see life as a whole.
I did not notice that the cable connecting my charger to my phone was caught by the edge of the arm rest of my chair. And as i was pulling the chair to sit, time begin to slow down. I begin to see everything in slow motion, how my phone was slowly sliding from the table to the edge as i pull the chair out.
My heart started to beat with speed, as one would experience after a long jog. I could see how the phone drop of the edge, and as that was happening I swing my left hand hoping to grab the phone, but it was not fast enough. My right hand scrambled only to manage to grab on to the cable. Everything happened so fast and yet so slow as i was waiting for sound of my phone dropping on concrete floor, it was about waist level my table but I didn't know what sound to expect. It seems like my heart was just at the edge to enter a cardiac arrest and the sound of my phone dropping is what that will push it.
As my ears were waiting for the sound, it is then my eye notice and i then realize that my phone was hanging on by a thread by the cable. I quickly but carefully pull my phone up by the cable and grab it. With my heart still racing but I start to calm down.
My true story of a near death experience. This all in less than 10 seconds. :victory:

IB4A...
Okay, seriously, I was drunk last night, and I was going to call someone, and while I took my month old phone outta my pocket I obviously drop it. It dropped screen facing to the ground on gravel and I got a crack on the screen.
Kids, what I learned that day, was never take your phone with you when you go out with a bottle of rum...
Sent from my potatato

Any time I've been drinking and am wearing one particular pair of jeans, I miss the pocket and just drop the phone straight onto the ground (luckily it's held up so far). It's become such a nuisance that I just never wear that pair of jeans.

I once prank called someone.

Just a note about different people having different luck dropping phones.
Somehow I drop my phones fairly often, and have yet to break one. I drop them out of my hands, they fall off the desk, the whole car dock falls off of the windshield. No problems.
My wife, she drops hers once, and its toast. Several. Cameras as well.

Electric Blankets?

Random Question & not sure who to ask so i figured the great people at XDA might know.
I'm thinking of buying an electric blanket (My bed gets SO cold in the evnings/night) just to warm my bed up before I go to sleep, But i have no experance with them & know nothing about them. I've searched online & all I seam to find is either horror stories or people saying "Don't buy them, there not safe" etc
Well are they safe to use? & If so what should I look for? Is there ratings or certain safty things I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance guys & girls

I am using one since 3 years and I am still alive. Hope that helps.
EDIT: I actually don't like them alot cause of the wiring inside. I would rather go with a heavy blanket or sth like that. But yeah, when I gets fricking cold, I use them

Glad to hear your still alive! lol
Ahh is the wiring in them uncomfatable then? Would i not be able to put it under my sheet & it be hidden??

Links to said horror stories. Idk, maybe if you get one at the dollar store, the wires might break, but my mom and grandma have been using em for ages. No problems except they might wear out prematurely.
I don't need a sig, but would love a cig.

That is the first one that comes to mind. But its good to hear other people have been using them & are fine.
Any recomendations on brands or is it just avoid the cheep ones?

Water beds have heaters so they don't get too cold, if sleeping on electric heated water is safe I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with just an electric blanket. I would refrain from leaving in on unless your using it, same as any heater.

I think the general rule is that you should use an electirc blanket to warm the bed for half an hour or so before you get into it, but you should always turn it off before getting in. Leaving it on once you are in runs the risk of falling asleep with it turned on; possibly burning yourself or starting a fire

But to answer your question, I would just avoid the cheap ones. Not saying buy an expensive one. But just like anything in life, the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. Testing, materials, ect.

Damnit, you're right, LOL.

Get one from Argos, as has been said use it to wam your bed up before you get in then turn it off and pack it away.
Get a winter duvet too. John Lewis have a £1,000 duvet!
For that money I'd want a buxom woman with it to warm the bed

I use one every night during winter. I don't run my heat until I have to and even then not very high. I don't know the brand.... I do know I got it at walmart after winter when they were marked way down one year. Probably about 4 years old and still kicking.

I used to use one during the winter in my old room. Used it overnight and everything, kept me nice and toasty warm and not dead lol. Kinda wish I knew where it was (still in a box from moving), my room got down to like 55 last night. Totally my fault though cause I left the window open, but still lol.

Guys, keep it friendly or don't post please.

Well, if you do, be prepared to spend half an hour using the edge of a piece of paper to remove all of the sand from between the screen and silver edge of the phone.

Can't you just simply watch it as it is water resistant ?

I tried that. The individual grains of sand get stuck in the tiny groove and won't wash out.

That's bad news

Isnt the s5 labeled as dust and water resistant?

Well, I literally sucked some of the sand out with my mouth, so there's that. A lot of it was still stuck under the edge of the screen, but I eventually got it all out with the edge of a sheet of paper. I might try a vacuum next time.

yeahhhh ive got the same problem.. its such a hassle especially if the grain of sand is the same exact dimensions as the gap its as if it was wedged in there permanently!!
sometimes the grain of sand thats stuck it there cuts my cheek when i answer the phone lol
i would suggest a toothpick or a sewing needle.. worked for 99.9% of mine!

I was too scared to try anything pointy. If the toothpick/needle didn't get the last grains out, try computer paper, notebook paper, and then try each of them folder over one time (to create a sort of "scooper" that will fit in the groove). This got me completely sand free.

[Q] I have a cooling idea. Feasibility discussion.

So I was thinking what if you took a small square fan perhaps one from a laptop or something on new egg then cut a square hole in the black fromt cover and glue it in there. The power source would be perhaps an 18650 battery mounted to the left side of the headset. That means the cover would be attached to the gear vr permanently but it would be worth it if it kept it cool. Of course this would work best if you removed the back door of the Note 4. Just trying to think of a cooling solution that woildnt permanently alter the Note 4 and is something the average joe could do at home. What you guys think? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

The idea that I have been thinking about doing is to get a cold pack (the kind that you can put in the freezer to reuse it) and then put it in between the phone and the black plastic cover. May need to put it in some kind of wrapping to make sure no moisture leaks or makes contact with the phone. Even if one cold pack lasts for just half an hour, one could buy multiple of them and just change them as needed.

consider the dust particles you would be blowing into the system while trying to watch stuff, even the smallest speck is super annoying. i say chill the plastic back for a few minutes in the fridge (don't allow condensation) and only put it on after playing a game or whatever for a while. i still haven't gotten the hot temp warning using my gear vr. watching full movies never causes overheating, and only game for maybe 30 minutes at a time... just don't see fan as necessary. now an external power source would be nice, a way of charging the battery to the phone, while plugged in, but that would add to weight of the device, compromise mobility (plugging in), and definitely make the phone run hotter... all in all its a pretty good compromise as is. best thing is maybe to have a spare battery.

Which part? The eyes or the fan. Lol
Hopefully it will help. It pushes enough air but without noise since it's a brushless fan. Will find out on a3 hour adventure tomorrow. Before this I've had it tell me to pull phone out and let cool.

How long did it take for the over heating message to pop up? I haven't seen the message yet... but I haven't played any games for more than half an hour with the Gear S: I think the hottest my phone has gotten was 105° (according to Zooper), but that was after watching LOTR

The eyes won't move, it's made from thick photo paper with 20 removable glue dots from Walgreens.
Message came after about a 45 min of gaming. Which gaming creates a lot, I mean a lot of heat.

Yeah, I think I just experienced the over heating problem... Played Anshar Wars for about 45-50 minutes (like you said O_O ) and when I took off the VR my Note was frozen and I didn't know what to do so I pulled the battery X: I'm not sure how long I was playing for, but I kind of got worried once I started to smell something similar to burning X_X
