those are reassuring comments, but the pics of the phone that exploded are whats got me worried.
Every phone ever built will have at least one model exploding. It happened with the iPhone too.
Don't worry about it.

Somebody died swallowing water, that does not make the water poisonous.
There are 10.000.000 s3's out there, apart from the suspicion the exploded phone was microwaved, chances are that 1 out of that many apples contain a worm, 1 out of that many cars have a bad tail pipe. Etc.
Get insurance. Done. And even if it does explode within the first year, Warranty is there. After that? Insure with provider.

Actually the report came back from a Samsung investigation that the phone was damaged by microwaves and that the user put the phone in a microwave to dry it off.
Search around and you'll find the link that was posted on xda.
Unless you are as stupid as that guy, it'll be safe.

Actually, within the EU the warranty is two years, if you didn't already know. (Check the warranty booklet if you don't believe me)
I'm always surprised how few people know this since all manufacturers provide it. Everyone just assumes it is one year.
Might not apply to OP (since there's no location), but just making sure no one gets ripped off buying an "extended warranty" for after the 1st year. Accident insurance is not the same though, and may well be worth it.

Looks interesting but since I got my very first dumbphone I never had problems with getting water on it.
It opens up possibilities, but nothing I need at the moment.
Passing it on to my foolish friends though, so thanks for that!
No problem!
So it makes it water resistant but not proof right?

I want see more reviews as its really new. But This is real. And does work. Here is how.
Hydrophobic nanocules are applied via vacuum. Thus coating the outside AND INSIDE from water molecules (which are bigger than the nanocules) thus can't get in and create a conduction.
It is rated itx-7 meaning it is waterproof to up to 30min at 1 meter (3feet) depth... Jeez. So i wanna go swimming with it

Its not meant for warranty purposes.. This is just for anyone that wants to protect their device from water damage.
Im sure it voids the warranty..
*edit* .. I think they are also trying to get in with (somebody.. I forget, but they mentioned it at CES).. so that phones come with the Liquipel protection - which is a great idea but than the suppliers end up losing money because of not having to replace asany phones..

i played with this stuff at CES this year. It was Fascinating! They used the stuff on a Napkin and had it sitting in a pool of water. When you pushed the napkin around in the water it never got wet and just rolled off (unless you were extremely harsh with it).
Quite impressive to see. You could also see the water interacting with the screen as it splashed against it (showing that its not just a "fake" cover)

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.

That's what sucks, I had the portfolio case on it because it was a gift, but I've been holding out for an otterbox case because I have a $50 coupon.
I think I might take the plunge because with my Atrix I had a legit issue that couldn't always duplicate but the speaker part was dented plus was unlocked and I was able to swap phones

First of all I was heading up the car wash to raise money for kids to go to a summer camp. I actually brought my atrix with me to swap sim cards but I left it in my car parked across the street. While running across the street it feel out of my pocket. Big picture I am grateful that no major damage was done but also that we all should be mindful how big this phone is and how easy it is to forget. Either way I've decided to just ride it out because any case that wraps around the phone will cover it up.

Hey all...some questions
My phone is not charging normally at all. Even when it says 100% charged, as soon as I disconnect the charger it drops down to less than 50%. Sometimes it will stay plugged in all day and barely gain any power. New battery did not help. ATT said they would replace, however when I went to the store he said the port is corroded indicating water damage. I never dropped it in water so it must have been some sort of moisture. You can definitely see a little rust in there. Tried to clean with toothbrush an alcohol did not really help. ATT on the phone said they will send me a new one but I am worried after they get mine back they will try and bang me for water damage. Any advice? Can i clean the port any other way? I saw in the i9100 forum people have changed the usb port with a part from ebay. I found the part but not sure if I can use it with the ATT version.
Flex Cable with Charge Port for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100
Has anyone tried? Ideally I would just love to get my replacement phone and send this back and hopefully they don't bother me. I already totally flashed back to stock and used mobile odin to make sure there is no trace of custom roms. This is frustrating. I keep my phone safe but somehow something must have caused the port to collect some kind of rust.
Thanks for any advice

About Parts
frist!! there is two version of SG2 GT-i900 & GT-i9100G ..
The SG2 GT-i9100 & i777 use the same replacement parts except the flex of the front buttons just be careful when looking for the parts
So, I have my Galaxy Note 2 rooted, my own mods and themes, with CLEANROM ACE 4.7 (updating to 4.8 now)
I JUST got this replacement phone a couple days ago, and I HATE getting a phone that isn not up to par with my standards which are:no blemishes or defects
I got off work and now I keep have signal issues. It is not from the root, or ROM because I factory rest wipe cache, dalvik, and wiped the ROM. So I called Customer Support.
The call ended up being almost an hour (the replacement took 5 minutes to send out)
Turns out the man I was talking to was a big techie.
I told him how I was tired of getting phones with physical defects and he said it's not Verizon's fault they're not in the phone making business, which is true. He told me "you know you've had 34 replacements and you didn't have to pay a thing. We're here to provide excellent customer service. No phone is perfect and if they were, I wouldn't have a job. So you have pretty much tried everything. There is another way you can go and if you want, ROOT your device that way you can be like "screw your software I want my own"
After he said that The call just went on and on. Turned out to be pretty good.
So for those of you that blame Verizon for all of your issues, blame the manufacturer.

101: Have a Verizon representative tell you to root your device : CHECK
102: Have a Verizon representative say Apple monopolizes their phones and will not pay them : CHECK

Verizon likes to send me phones that have physical defects. One time they sent me one with a dented bezel and I wrote on a piece of paper "Learn how to inspect yours phones. I'm disappointed" stuck it under a screen protector and sent it back. Ever since then, samsung is making the bezels out of a different plastic and finish that does NOT crack.

It's going to get scratches and dings unless you wrap it in bubble wrap and never touch it. It's just a phone. There are better things to be obsessed over.
Also, I'm hoping that you don't believe your piece of paper made such an impact that they changed the bezel material.
You have a serious problem if you've needed 34 replacements in your life.

I was on the phone with Verizon today for a while and the tech offered to replace it with a incredible 4g or a razor. Now I know there is like zero development for the Inc and close to that for the razor so my question is what would ya'll do? Or would I be better off trying another rezzy? I do like this phone besides all the problems I've had.
Thanks for your input XDA

Quit returning working phones. Quit looking at your bars. That is what I would do. The proximity sensors for our phones can be adjusted. Play store app called Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator.
Not trying to be rude but I see posts like these all the time where guys have returned 10 phones for various "problems". Interesting when I know of at least 10 people with Rezounds in my group of friends and family and nobody has had to return one.

it seems to be hit and miss. my first rez i bricked. the "replacement" one i received had a dead headphone jack from factory my latest one VZW had zero adhesive on the top of the screen leading to its death about a week ago. this time VZW said that the screen was my problem and that i would need to go the insurance route. i took it apon myself to repair it and order a new glass and LCD.
i wish i would have never bricked my first one. it was the only one without problems. all replacements from VZW have been crap. :/

The problem I was having with signal was lack thereof. The phone would show good signal but I couldn't make phone calls or use my data for a few minutes up to an hour or so. I have three other people with vzw smartphones in my household which would work fine.
The phone I currently have had none of those issues. I've tried the recalibration tools and it didn't work.

I think I might do that. Do you have the dinc?
I guess I didn't realize that the development was moving forward. The last I've checked there wasn't much going on with it.

i blame this one the antenna in the back. if i remember correctly my replacements never came with a back i had to reuse them. i think this was the dumbest idea they had.

I never quite understood the reasoning behind that. I couldn't see the benefit of it. A friend has the iPhone 4, I believe he said the chrome piece around the whole phone was the antenna. That's a smart design, exterior antenna that looks good also. But I'm sure if any other manufacturer tried anything similar, lawsuit would arise.

save space i think. if you ever take apart the phone. there's zero extra room. :/

Yeah that is strange being my issues were related to the signal. Verizon tech support and I always did lots if trouble shooting before sending a new one out but the never even brought up the back cover as a possible culprit. It would have been a lot cheaper to send one of them out to try versus a new phone.
Well I do have a update on my replacement phone. I called back again and explained to the tech support guy that I do not want a razor and that I really need a screen larger than the Inc. He said ok let me see what I can do and then offered me a Samsung intuition or a LG stratosphere 2 or something like that. Told him probably not cause the sammy had a 4 inch screen and the LG just looked butt ass ugly to me. He the put me on hold again and offered me a razor maxx and again I said I don't like Motorola. Then I brought up the dna and he put me on hold again and came back and said he got that approved for my replacement.
It should be here tomorrow afternoon so I guess we'll see how it performs. I really do dislike changing phones all the time.
Thanks for all your input!!

Complain more and get a DNA or Razr HD. Both of those phones are not equal to the rez. Make that fact known.

Lol never mind... See you got your DNA.
Pray it has pre OTA software

Yeah I know that they are not and all I want for a phone on a plan that I pay a lot of money for is one that I do not have trouble with every couple months. The dna does seem to be pretty solid from what I've seen.
I sure hope it does too. Which I will have to wait a little longer to see since I received another Rezound (with a new back cover I might add) in the mail yesterday Now I have to wait for the tech that helped me Wednesday night to call me back and see what happened.

if it does come with OTA, only real option right now is pay 45 bucks for JTAG. Numerous people have successfully had it done.

What is JTAG? I've been reading that it pretty much impossible to gain root with the new OTA.

I forgot to mention that the tech support guy called me today and confirmed that it was a mistake on his end and that he will be sending the dna right away.

Don't know exactly... I just know it involves opening the phone up, hooking the phone up to a riff box and it s-off it... Probably Google it for better description
