Climbing 3 story roof punishable?

OK so my friend and I threw balls on the roof for laughs. We got caught and had to get them down. But with what, you might ask? Well the teachers made us climb up the 3 story roof and push the balls down. It was raining too, so that made it slippery. It was also tilted, and there was nothing to hold onto but the edge of the roof. What I'm asking is, is this legal? Could it be punishable by law or get to the local authorities? Because we could have stayed after school with a supplied ladder and get the balls down! This is not hypothetical. I won't do naything with the cops, but I'm just interested. Given the conditions, rain, tilted, and 3 stories high, what did we learn from this? Teamwork of two 14 year old guys pushing each other up a roof? My hands started to bleed when I was done pushing the balls down from holding onto the sharp edge of the roof. And I know I've said this, I just want to reinforce it. I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING! I AM MERELY INTERESTED! Thanks for the time xD

This is an easy one.
Don't do it again.

It will have hopefully taught you a valuable lesson about maturity... You throw something up on a roof... How do you expect it will get down? Someone will have to go onto it and fetch it...
If you fell, it was your own fault, and I guarantee you would have never dared throw something onto the roof again (after you got out of hospital)

definitely illegal haha, good lesson though!

Lol...2nd time this week alone I've been sent to the principle's ...but the roof thing really pisses the living sh!t out of me...and the teachers just left us! Oh well, I just got dirty and a few cuts

Can I fix the small scratch on my screen?

I got it today....its small and only noticeable when in light...I just got this phone yesterday...anything I can do to fix?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium HD app

No. All the products that say they will "fix" scratches are basically abrasives that wear the entire screen down to the scratches level. This is like throwing water on an oil fire. Seems like a good idea but the results aren't the intended ones.
There are only two options that actually work:
1. New device/screen.
2. Screen protector to diminish the appearance of the scratches.

Take a knife and stab your screen like your crazy. Then, call the company and tell them they shipped you a jacked up phone.

You're going to need to throw the phone on a concrete tile, face-down. You should not be able to see the scratch anymore. If needed, repeat the procedure.

Unfortunately, no. Like other posters have said, slap a screen protector on it to diminish the scratch. Anti-reflective protectors do a good job, IMO, of hiding small blemishes, but not everyone likes how they make the screen look.

Lol! She's a severe clinical insomniac (on 15+ prescriptions from the same doctor, multiple diagnoses). She has to take some of her pills with food, and occasionally falls asleep (spontaneously passes out) while eating. So, when she wakes up sometimes, there are dishes on her nightstand. We she was handing me her dishes as I was going to the kitchen, tossed the fork, didn't realize I'd be fondling my new phone and wasn't looking.
Edit: However, she is Irish, and pissing her off is NOT a good idea, so your advice is still good.

Worst element of Nexus 4 - frictionless back

Background: I owned the Nexus S, and Galaxy Nexus as daily drivers.
This is my first glass backed phone - but not until I finally removed the plastic film from it recently, did I realise how problematic it is.
In short:
DON'T LEAVE THIS PHONE ON ANY SURFACE NOT PERFECTLY LEVEL.
I mean, the slightest incline and your phone will slowly make it's way to jumping off the edge.
I had never dropped my phone in the few months since release, and the week I take off the plastic, it has hit the floor 3 times.
Once it did it over the course of a few hours in the middle of the night, from the flat night table next to the bed.
The other day, off a counter ledge in the bathroom.
Just now, from atop the microwave in the kitchen.
Each time, nothing was moving or near the phone, and it fell off seconds or minutes after putting it down. No vibration or anything occured either, which would surely expedite the falling.
If you put this phone down on a not-level surface (ie, anything that would cause a ball to roll) you can watch it ever so gradually slide and move around. I can't even put it on a short stack of 6 pieces of paper on my desk without it slipping off before long. I'm telling you these are surfaces that you wouldn't know weren't level if not for this phone treating it like an ice skating rink. Nothing has ever fallen off of them, previously.
I hate it. I wouldn't change the phone to another, but still. Frictionless glass backing SUCKS.
Oh, and luckily no cracks or damage. So far. But I've learned my lesson and now have to wall it in with other objects it can't move past.

Now i know

Whilst I recommend a case for pretty much everyone else I know, I'm careful enough to go "naked" and appreciate the phone as designed. It's just an adjustment in this case, and I don't anticipate it falling ever again.
A stupid adjustment I shouldn't have to make, but there you go.

Your physics concepts are fu**ed up,if there is no friction,the phone would be slipping away from your hands every seconds already,go back to school to study man. In your situation,it is called lesser friction.

In other news, walking on gravel without shoes hurts and standing outside when it's snowing will make you cold.
Yes, it's got a shiny back and yes, funnily this makes it more likely to slide off things.
If it bothers you, get a bumper. I did and it doesn't slide around now. I also bought shoes for the snow and that fixed my feet too.

Hahaha yeah my physics are just so CRAZY. It couldn't merely be my writing, you know: using a word that conveys the relative amount of friction, rather than scientifically correct terminology. Get over yourself.
And whilst we're at it, unless you were somehow holding the phone only by its "frictionless" back, it wouldn't slip out of your hands, now would it? Oh, the irony of your terrible post.

[Q] Just how waterproof really is this phone?

I am considering buying this or a LG G2 or Nexus 5.
My main reason for wanting this above the others is purely for the watreproofness(?if that is a word?)
I was diagnosed with OCD a few years ago and have an obsession with cleanliness, I was my hands 30+ times a day. I have previously broke a phone by wiping it with a antibacterial wipe. So would I be able to give this phone a rinse under a tap once a day and it still be ok?
I know they say x minutes at x depth, but how often can it get wet in reality?
Thanks in advance

Water proofing usually isn't about how often it can get wet. The x minutes at x depth has to do with the amount of time it can spend at that pressure level with the water being forced into it's seals. In terms of washing it once a day or fifty times a day it shouldn't matter. However, it would be recommended to wash it in a bowl of water rather than under the sink as running water is harsher on water proofing. That said, I've taken mine swimming and used in the shower and the waterproofing is great (other then the fact it's useless in the shower because all the water drops hitting it make the touch screen freak out thinking it's being touched by fingers).

I've washed mine several times, taken it in the shower multiple times, used it as a tiny umbrella for my face on a really really rainy day, and soaked it in beer and coca cola. Basically, if you just make sure the flaps are firmly closed the phone is waterproof.

Just a sidenote, SONY themself say that it can´t be used in seawater (saltwater), so how that is compared to bear and cola, is hard to say...
But tapwater should be no problem at all...
Funny thing is a TV-Commercial here in Denmark from a phone company, and in that commercial they actually talk about the Z1 beeing waterproof, while they stand on a Beach !?!
That is sort of misleading information...

Water Damaged Permanent?

3 days ago, my N3 took a dive into the toilet and was in it for about 20 seconds (it was on, but asleep). It had the Otterbox case on it, though the bottom flap for the usb cable was open. I took it out, took out the battery and the cards, and put it in a zip lock bag full of rice. That's where it's been for 2 days.
Today, I took it out and placed everything back in and powered it up. Everything went normally, but there is intermittent screen flickering, some very slight, and some very noticeable. So my question is, has it been permanently damaged, or is this normal after being in water? I have taken the battery back out for now. Also, would it be advisable to remove the cover to expose the inside and maybe blow it some more in case the rice dust could be causing the problems?

Well I hope you washed it, before drying it. Ewwwwww! Honestly you should throw it away. At&t insurance, and warranty departments won't touch a device that's been in the toilet and also advise throwing it away.
I think screen flickering after being wet is normal if you're lucky. Usually it goes into brick mode. It may improve over time, or it could get worse? Water damage is sooooo unpredictable.
Since its wet and warranty is screwed, it would be very advisable to tear it apart (gently)! You have nothing to lose now. I'm almost certain there's moisture in there somewhere. It might even be between a connector causing your flicker.
Sorry if I brought ya bad news, and sorry your phone's acting up. I hope it dries out and works. And I also hope it doesn't have any poo bits left in it!!

I definitely agree that the phone is toast. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but it will never be the same.

To the person saying to throw it away. You are insane. All that has to be done is drying the device out completely. And it will normally be as good as it was out of the box. Even if it was completely broken, you don't throw it away. You sell it for parts to recoup some of what you put into it.
I have never thrown a device away after water damage or even after smashing it. There is always something to be made from it. It is a $700 phone. If you want to throw it away, that's you. But don't tell others to do it. Some people don't have the money to just buy another.

People actually buy parts after being treated with toilet water? They are nuts! Or it isn't advertised as a poo ridden device. I don't know why anyone would want to hold poo bacteria to their face and talk on the phone. Yuk! I don't have the money to go buy a new one either. Which is why I got the insurance! So yes. Call me crazy because I will throw this phone away if it falls in the toilet. But I want you to go up to your friends and say "my phone fell in the toilet. Will you make a phone call with it?" And then see if they don't think you're crazy. Lol

Not to sound gross... But there are less sanitary things you probably do several times a day than using a phone from a fresh clean water toilet.
For instance brushing your teeth with your tooth brush.
Seriously those things are one step below the sponge you wash your dishes with.

Stop using phone. Take it apart. Heat motherboard with heat gun. 180 degrees Fahrenheit. (no more then that, use temp gun, don't stay in one spot with heat gun for more then 5 seconds, after heated let sit to cool down without touching it) When finished, clean gentle with acetone and tooth brush(soft kind). Brush light coat of electronic Flux. Put back together.

Most people don't know how to pull the phone apart, and even half of the people that do, don't have a heat gun. (Me). While it is a great option, it is definitely not the option for everyone.
He'll, most people don't even know what Flux is or where to get acetone. Especially oil free acetone.

Acetone wouldn't be used on the plastic. Just the mobo. It also evaporates at a faster rate than 97% isopropyl alcohol. It is perfectly safe to use.

Sorry about that. I used the Flux first before heat gun. That way solder don't get dried out. And then the acetone cleans it off. I've never done this on a phone. Have done it on other electronics. (I make sure I use a water proof case) . Sometimes this works sometimes it don't. But as was stated, what's there to lose unless a miracle happened and the phones good. I just know if there's water inside, it won't come out on its own.

What graydiggy said, dry it out completely. Must be some water in there.
Personally I'd just throw it in the rice for a bit--sometimes though, moisture is really stuck at which point I use a vacuum to get it out. Careful of small parts though.
Spilled olive oil all over my phone a while back. Worst thing ever. Vacuum was my only option.
