Thanks for your response. So will go for Ultra Z as this was the only think which was bothering me as I was confused between ZU and Note 3 but bigger screen of ZU wanted me to go for it as I wont feel need for a tablet with it.
You can even buy one on eBay if you want to fit it yourself:

Nice to know, but once opened we'll lose the water resistancy, so i think the smartest thing is to let a service center do it so the warranty won't get voided, unless you don't have this option.

You can buy anew back cover too so you can still have water resistancy.

Hi guys,
I bought a SGS4 the other day for $300 used. It came in the mail and it doesn't seem to work. I want to take it to Verizon to get a warranty replacement, but I'm afraid whatever is wrong with it was caused by the previous owner doing something that voided the warranty. Worst case scenario is I have to pay another $99 and use Asurion to replace it which I'm totally willing to do. Basically it turns on, but the LCD doesn't, only the backlight. It also gets super hot super quickly. I doubt it's bricked, I'm guessing water damage or the LCD went bad.
Take out the battery, put it back in, hold down volume and power, what happens?

If you think it's water damage check the sensors. And did you buy it with the impression that it was working 100% and nothing was wrong with it?

Hello,
I know that Galaxy S4 has water protected version and Xperia comes built in with it.
How about LG G2, If I wil go on the street while its raining would my phone go under any risk?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
No. Please dont use your G2 under rain.

Yes :/ its the price in Israel but I ended up paying this since I dont want to replace my phone in the next two years and I wanted to get the best I can even if it means pay out of my savings to have a phone that will give me good work quality and stability for next 2 years at least.

Electronic vs Water. Awkward? LG never stated that the G2 was waterproof. Uf water gets into the device it will die. Sorry

Oh well ... Electronics vs water but in fact Xperia and S4 Active made it happen but oh well.... it cant be compared to G2's level so I take it as granted and gonna plan to get good case that will deliver the right protection (there is one that will protect against a rain?) ?

I haven't seen any waterproof cases yet. Try Amazon ? The G2 is much more popular in the states than in the rest of the world.
Normal S4 is not waterproof either... the S4 active has inferior specs...

You surely didn't expect it to be waterproof did you? Did you buy the phone blindly without knowing the spec, as if you wanted it to be fully waterproof then why did you buy it?
You need to ask, do you really absolutely have to use it in the rain?

This phone has no protection against water at all.

Its not like I am going to use it in FACT in rain. Just generally what if it happens that I talk and bang rain starts and I i am in critical call, few seconds of Rain will finish the phone?
I've gotten some drops on my phone during the rain. Obviously if I need to use it I shield it and try to keep it safe but I've never had any problems with rain damaging any of my devices. I'm just careful, and if it gets some drops on it, I wipe them off.
I don't think the G2 is any better or worse than anything else out there (not including waterproof devices.)

Ahhh, well, no, a few drops of rain aren't going to do anything. Unless they happen to fall right into an open port or something, but that is unlikely. As ling as it isn't torrential rain for a long period beating onto the phone you should be ok.
I've had a few drops of rain get on mine, like most people. No problem caused.

Ok need find a good case as I dont want loose 950USD device due to some accident....
Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

It's a shame your not covered by insurance.
Oh my ... Sorry for your loss :/
They can't replace it instead of repairing ? i mean that's a lot of money especialy if you have to send it back again !
Yeah, Thats what I'm saying man. The freight charges could have paid for another phone. I'm sure there's some reputable online retailers that does RMA for free?

as a comparison they are currently selling imported for about $6-800

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Yeah i'll get it repaired, and then sell it. I've bough a C6833 in New Zealand. Its not a sony store, but at least I don't have to ship it overseas. Should arrive next week I'm guessing. I was looking at the Z1.... but just couldn't do it. size of screen is obviously more important to me than a better camera... plus i have the QX10 so there's that.

I was just reading how it bricked. If it was mobo damaged they'll probably give you a new one. If they're able to boot it into flashtool at all then probably just reflash, but judging by your posts that won't be possible.

How do you even install this ? Just wondering for future reference hopefully not anytime soon...... But does the thing that hold it in place just gets pushed in there ? how will you take the old one out ? Or do you have to take the whole phone apart, Making the phone not being waterproof anymore which basically will be pointless since that is the whole point of this lol

Well no, but what other choice do you have? The bright side is it's only $5. I mean, the only other option is to get a wireless charging sticker (which breaks the water resistance anyway), or a real samsung wireless charing back cover. Both are more expensive than just replacing this flap every 2-3 months. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung if this is truly the case though.

I hope I won't need to replace it though. A $700 phone shouldn't need the user to replace a part every 2-3 months. The GS1 (att captivate) had a sliding door that never broke in 3 years of use. Maybe samsung should have done that.

How many people are having this issue? Sure hope mine isn't problematic like this. I'm getting an OtterBox Preserver case so i might just remove that cover to make it easier to plug in the charger plug. but then again, if the case were to ever fail, it would be nice to have that extra protection guarding the device.

So far, there's been 2 reports. One in this thread (obviously), and one in the accessories section. I've only had mine for about a month, so I guess that's why my flap is still fine. Hopefully it will stay fine though.
I found this for you guys. I'm definitely downloading this YouTube video for later use. I always seem to find youtube videos that have been removed when i actually need them lol
