Has anyone sent their Galaxy S ii(I777) to Liquipel? I know it's not an option on their list of phones but they still let you send your device. I sent my device on Friday and will receive it back this week, you guys interested in knowing that if it actually works? Ill post up a video of my Galaxy S ii I777 getting ''Wet'' on.

Update! I just posted a video on my Liquipiel-ed Device.

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 saw a product similar to this years ago when it was still in testing, and I thought it looked awesome. (Showed a guy playing with an iPhone 3G underwater).

Wasn't there a video recently of a guy with a GSII that he put in a bucket of water and called his phone? I seem to remember that it lit up and displayed normally.
Yeah I've actually been waiting to see if this catches on.. Good stuff!
sent from my Galaxy SIII ...haha jk, I FOiLed ya!
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

It seems nice but to pay 59$ and have to ship out the phone is a big downfall.

But if you DO drop your phone in a pool or the toilet, you'll be out more than $70 and a week anyway.

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.. Not sure how it all works but somebody loses potential mula

Lol! Makes me wanna do this to my phone... take it with me somewhere on vacation, then after getting into a crowded hotel pool pull the phone out of my swim trunks pocket and make a call! Can you imagine the looks you would get from people?!

Lol i know right?! I might get my next device done before i switch.. That way im not without a phone.. Curious though if it takes away from the awesome glide if a bare screen.. If it feels any different. By the looks of the vid... It looks pretty flawless

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)

Ok I'm sold lol.

I walked in lastnight to buy my Note and the sales lady greeted me. We talked about the note for a bit, went to the display model and gave it a quick whirl and then I went through with placing the order for my upgrade.
I was there maybe 35 - 40 minutes and during that time, the same display model that I had used earlier, was stolen. They just left the back of the case attached to the security plug and took the body/battery.
There had to have been about 12 - 15 ATT store employees there and no one saw anything. Ofcourse they have video and the IMEI number so as soon as the phone is activated they can shut it down, but that was just incredible to me that someone had the balls to pull a stunt like that.
Drama aside, I'm loving the hell out of my white note! I'm 6-1, 225 coming from an Atrix and now that 4" screen looks like a toy. My wife is appalled at the size, but she's an ifangirl so... what can ya do lol
Haha, an ifangirl eh? Have to work on that man! I'm loving this phone too and I'm also coming from an Atrix. HUGE improvement. Recently converted the parents from their isheepism to the dark side of Android. Now the dad is rocking a Razr Maxx and the mom is using a Galaxy Nexus (they are on Verizon.) I think I did pretty good with that conversion! Lol. They are addicted to Android now, like I am.
That's unreal it was stolen while you were there. You made a killer phone choice, enjoy.

I've been trying to convert the boss lady, but she's quite happy being told how her phone should work lol.
I've converted my 2 brothers and their wives to Android though, all from iphones lol. I think I've done a fairly good job!
Yeah, the person who took the phone is on video and that IMEI is effectively a paperweight at this point. I hope it was worth it to the thief... I almost feel bad for that craig's list /ebay victim if they sell it that way.
Lol kind of dumb for them to attach it just by the back.

I can pop the back off with my CommuteMate DashGrip pad. That thing sticks so well I was using it to vertically mount the Note for the drive home back from BestBuy. I don't have any finger nails to pry off the back so I can use it if needed, lol.
Congrats on your Note purchase.

Happens every once and a while in our store. We can't physically stop anyone who does it either.
And the security attachment is supposed to be on both sides of the phone

Yeah at my store in schaumburg, it happens literally once a month.... however, people are getting clever with it. This one guy stole an iPhone 4s but get this.... he replaced it with an iPhone 4! I tried to demo siri to someone and was literally like... dafuq is this? One other time some guy stole an lg thrill and we had a running joke that he was the one that got duped
When you have like twelve people waiting to be helped you can't really fix problems, make sure you dont make mistakes in accounts and watch for thieves at the same time

That's it?
Boring....
And it I thought it was something exciting like you figured out how to get your Note to do dishes or something....
First of all, I baby all of my gadgets like no other lol.
We got in a huge fight after a super extended happy hour and my phone went flying through a 1/4' thick glass vase, embedding itself into the wall. Never knew she could ninja star a phone that well.
Anyway I realized at that point that these phones are beasts! The bottom whole right side of the "chasis" shifted up a bit to the top. Bottom right corner is bent. Chip in the metal dead center at the top and a TINY nick in the gorilla glass.
So now the right side of the bezel doesnt sit flush with the screen anymore and that is about it.
I am super impressed by the strength of these bad boys. I was more upset that this is a launch day phone with hboot 1.4(not taking it to sprint to ruin my unicorn). In the end all is well and she will be paying for my Gnex when it comes out(when ever it does lol).

thats a bad hit!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been doing so much android work at night my gf has been one angry chic for weeks now. I swear one days she's gonna do something like this! Only saving grace is I usually am holding it to work on it flashing stuff or whatever. Good luck!

Well girls want attention, you can also flash that rom on a time she not around you.
i think i also need to keep the mobile away from my gf. i think ur gf teach us very good lesson...
Yes he learned us make sure your gf does not get the chance to trow your phone to the wall.
That's what happens in the "My super sweet 16" generation
Still works like a champ. Cams are still aligned properly. Speaker and everything still work with no problems. It just bothers the hell out of me seeing my phone like this(for the anal retentive).
Will def be keeping this as a backup though.
You are making me put all devices down now. My wife just gave me a look 0_o

I agree. Substance abuse. Violent outburst. Making excuses for inappropriate behavior. I am going to guess trust issues somewhere in the mix too.
These things never get better. I had a girlfriend like this once. After she got done beating me up, I got slapped with a VPO a couple months later. Apparently I was now stalking her... While the charges were dismissed with prejudice, I had to hire an attorney to motion for them to be expunged.
When I made her leave I wasn't there for her getting her things. She stole the batteries out of everything electronic. All the clothes hangers. Probably $200 worth of toilet paper, paper towels and laundry soap. Put some kind of plant that she called "our love fern" (it was bamboo :wtf: ) down the garbage disposal. Also she crushed up a box of Pop-tarts in the non-disposal side of my kitchen sink. The sick ***** even took the ice cube trays.
I personally couldn't give a **** less about your phone or how much you baby your electronics. Kudos that it still works, but the phone is only a few hundred dollars to replace. Move on before it gets worse...and more expensive.

So, my friend (she's an iZombie of course) just asked if my phone was the "S4 Note".
I know this probably more because of Samsung's S4 fragmentation with the zoom/active/mini etc. models but I have noticed I've gotten quite a few funny comments/questions about this device, and so far no where to share it in my favorite XDA section!
Some of you must have a few humorous comments that you've received, post them here and share the laughs. :laugh:
"You can make calls on that thing?"
"Bet the porn on that screen is amazing"
"Wish my iphone was that big"

You look like you're holding an iPad Mini to your ear (on days that I forget my BT Ear Piece)
Why are you using a tablet to take pictures (but that usually stops once they see the pics and I don't have to do endless scrolling on websites)
Apple is Innovative, just look at my perfectly sized 4" screen, to which I usually reply,,,,Android was innovative in 2010 when they started having 4" screens, and you don't see me having any issues holding my 5.5" phone.
Best one....at the office....my co-worker always running around, trying to find another Apple user to see if he can use his proprietary connector to charge his phone.....out of spite I put my USB Cable on his desk once.
It's that a Lcd TV?

I occasionally get the "wow is that thing big" but alot of people around here either have a s3 s4 or note 2 so it doesn't really phase them. When i first got it is when I got alot of comments because it was still so new. A friend of mine asked me to see it (when a hot girl asks for your phone you just hand it over hahaha) but she is tiny, by tiny I mean 4'10" and maybe 110lbs. Well it truly looked like she was holding a tablet. Haha. That's when I saw how big it is. But I can never go back to a smaller phone now.
People: "how can you use a phone that big?"
Me: "I'm used to handling big things."

here lately, there are more note 2's or s4's than iphones at the hospital so not as many comments as there used to be.
I get it all the time at the university I work at. Big screen tv, 80's boombox, table for our food. I just wait until one of my coworkers tries to show a youtube video, I go to the same one, and then put my phone next to theirs. That usually quiets those types of people.
