When i got the XZ I show my friends how can this device support being dropped into a glass of water. Today my 4 years old did the same In front of his cousins to show them the trick. The only problem is he used my wife's galaxy note 2 instead the XZ... The note Is dead now

RIP Note 2...
You can take the smartphone apart and sell some parts on ebay, For example display should be working fine (and it is expensive as well), chasis (you can sell it as an Original part)
Hope your insurrance will cover it
lol i nearly died laughing! I love this phone...I always freak people out when i say "brb, going to wash my phone off"
Fake! there is no glass where a note 2 will fit into
just kidding, very funny story, allthough it sucks for you

My missus dropped her fone getting out the car without realising under the car. Then when getting back in and driving off the fone got run over by the car and pinged off into the middle of the road!!
The screen is cracked badly so needs sorting on insurance but the fone itself works fine and the only cosmetic damage is the screen!!

Hi guys, i got a nexus 7 around september last year..everything was great until i started getting ghost touches here and there...the tablet would start acting on it's own, swiping around home screens, randomly opening apps and stuff.. so i rang up Asus and ask for a replacement unit...the new unit seems to be fine but yesterday there ghost touches were back again.. then i noticed that the moisture on the screen is actually the one causing the random touches... i downloaded multitouch test from the play store, and put a few small drops of water on a certain part of the screen, and the app actually detects touches on that part of the screen... i think somehow the drops of water are putting pressure on the screen and causing the screen to detect the pressure as touches? is this a manufacture flaw by Asus? it's really bugging me and i hope I'm not the only one experiencing this...

Its not pressure, nor is it a defect. It happens on all capacitive screens like the N7. What is water? It's is a great conductor. Your fingers do the same thing.

May due to a better digitizer on the gnex as the Nexus 7 came with a lower cost.
In digitizer there is something like a noise management system and seem like the higher cost products has a better management for example I has never has a problem with a moisture on the iPad screen but I do has with my N7.

the weird thing is that ever time i won't face this problem for the first few months..but once i encountered it the first time, i keep getting the ghost touches almost everyday...seems like the digitizer is getting worst day by day...

Distilled water is a bad conductor. But tap water and non-distilled bottled water are great conductors.

Yes, I know this. It's not the water itself that is conductive, it's the minerals and stuff in the water.

Putting drops of water on the screen won't hurt the unit. Well... As long as you don't let it into the bezel.

Noise management has an important software/microcode component. I do not see the N7 as being low quality but input and signal management are far from optimal - IMHO.

It's a conspiracy. The NSA is remote-controlling your Nexus devices.
Be warned, and be careful.
How did you get asus to give you a new unit? I still can't get them to remove a scratch on the screen.

I'm admittedly not fully convinced it's not an environmental problem on your end. It gets pretty humid over here, but moving in and out of climate-controlled conditions has yet to cause moisture to appear on my screen. Are you sure you don't have any dust/grit etc. on your screen? That can help water coalesce/probably improves conductivity of any moisture that does appear.

Unless you documented that the scratch was there as soon as it came out of the box, I can't see any customer service department making it easy to exchange a device for a scratch (because no offense, but it's almost always the user's fault, so they're going ot be pretty skeptical no matter what you say).
Sad day for me guys , at 3 am I dropped my phone and hit the tiled floor to my shock horror the top half of my screen is well smashed in , hardly hit the floor either I'm gutted only had phone 7 months!
Anyways I've seen a replacement glass on eBay for very little money £12-£20 British pounds
Key question is , how do you change just glass and is it easy?
Has anyone had experience with such fiddly work
Thx

Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.
ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.
That sucks man! I guess I have a good case, I've dropped mine a bunch.....first few times I kinda freaked, now nothing happens, and I pick it up! Sorry for your loss.

actually no not at all.. dropped this guy many many times and have a couple chips in the metal but the screen is fine. Even the other day im running on a tredmill and flap my headphone wire with my arms as im running.. it fell on the belt i kicked it and it still was fine.
hahah
I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.
I spilled bong water on mines and my girl scratched it a little with my keys over top speaker other than that no drop damage and trust it's seen it's fair share. #TOUGH

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.
I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

Hey everyone this is pretty crazy. We just dropped the Galaxy S5 off a two story building and it actually survived. Sure the screen is shattered but it still works which is unbelievable. I love the M8's aluminum design to death, but there's no way it would've made it past this.
I'm going to be honest, Samsung has done a good job with the build of the Galaxy S5.
WOW that is just amazing thought it would of been dead
Good job too, because this is the first thing I intend to do when my S5 is delivered today.
Wow, it landed right on it's face too. I mean with all those other tests, this phone is crazy
Damn
Next test should be amount of time is a microwave. :laugh:
