I finally took the phone into the shower. Made some calls, sent some texts, even took a selfie. Everything worked flawlessly. This is just the next iteration in a history of durability I've had with sammy. Very pleased

I have to disagree with you.
I took mine in the shower and while the screen worked it was hard for me to do anything because the water was hitting the screen and I guess the screen figured it was a finger. I couldn't do anything

Yea, the screen was a bit wonky but I just wiped the water and it was much better

I really hope water resistance becomes the standard for any smart device. It has been long overdue.
Very gutsy my friend. A shower Selfie to boot lol.

Very true. I remember how it basically became a standard in Japan at least 5 years ago. Glad to see the US market manufacturers beginning to show some care for longevity rather than building phones that last exactly two years

Mine gets a daily washing and I also take it in the shower to listen to tunes.
I do notice if the water hits the speaker at the right angle then well,, it sounds like crap for a few hours until it dries out.
Yes the screen does go wacky but that could also be having the extra sensitivity turned on?
Probably already posted but here is my daily wash the S5..

Yeah if its a new phone, they usually have no problem exchanging it out and making you happy.... they don't want a refund

ah, there is definitely a wear problem there. looks like the sliding mecahnism is scratching the paint. that's too bad, i really like this phone. my guess is a replacement will do the same thing. maybe some protective tape around the bezel will fix the issue.
I have had mine for a little over a week, use the keyboard for everything and dont have this issue.
I can see a spot where the screen slides its a little darker than the rest but does not seem to be removing the paint or anything like that.

i ran my fingernail over the area and it's definitely scratched. the question is the durability of the paint. i've only had my phone since Friday evening of last week and i'm already noticign the wear.
I haven't had any scratching when I slide it up

wow! mine is definitely not that bad. yet.
I'm using the snap on case for the holster, and I know when I slide it out, I can feel some dragging.
With it off though, smooth as silk.
I never put a case on my phone. Why take away the beauty of it. I have insurance and warranty if something goes wrong or breaks.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I'm having the same issue. I've had it for about a month now, and a while ago I would hear a scraping when the phone opens. I noticed there are two clips underneath the screen that probably help the phone STAY closed/open. This is where the scraping is for me. Mine is pretty bad at this point, now have silver lines about half a cm thick on the back of my screen. Pretty sad. I know the OG Droid had this issue after alot of wear and time, but this is early. :'(
Do you carry the phone in your back pocket? looks like compression scratches.
No. Only had that current phone for two days before i noticed it.

Try factory resetting and check for new updates. Hasn't happened on mine ever even on low battery.
EDIT: I'll contact a guy at pebble i know see what he can do.
Allready tried factory reset but same problem. Indeed it's more often when low battery but even after charge problem persist.
Just sent an support e-mail to pebble, see what they can do.

Hi!
Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).
Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble
Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on!
Received a confirmation for replacement few days ago. Le't see...
Sorry no time for other pics now. Will try soon

Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".
I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.
Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.
Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.

Within the last couple of months both of my wrists have been in pain. Not a severe pain, but pain none the less.
Its slightly more painful in my right hand then my left. I've never injured them. I can't think of anything I ever did tobcause this.
The pain will last for a couple weeks then disappear. It never has gotten worse, nor does it affect dexterity or strength.
Is it Keinsblock Syndrome? Arthritis? I'll see my doctor about it, yes. But I still have no idea what it is....
Here are the photos to show. That bone that protrudes out? Hurts on both wrists.

*No trolling here*
After i fractured my left arm last year, i have seldom pain on my left wrist when i bend 90 degrees. When i bend it fully, i can hear the bones clicking against each other all the time even if its not pain. For me the pain lasts 2 - 3 days. I have grown used to it.

CTS? have it checked asap bro :good:
Could just be RSI. Have it checked out anyway, get a scan done. There's always a possibility of damaged ligaments.
I can't say much from those pics alone, but it looks like something my sister has/had. A tiny bump near the wrist that hurts, but not a lot.
Have no idea what it is though. Sometimes it used to pop-up during (or just after) our fights, she'd then point it out and blame it on me to make me feel bad. :|
