Please tell me if I'm hallucinating and need to see a doctor or if it's real
I rest my phone on my pinky, and my pinky finger has contact with the torx screws at the bottom. Not once, but twice, I have felt a voltage/current running through my pinky, coming from the Torx screws. It's very very mild, almost as if there's water running down your hands. I have very sweaty palms, is this what causes the (possible) current/voltage to run on my pinky?
I think it's just blood flow though, lol. But I'm a student and in school we had a physics practical on electricity, I accidentally touched one of the circuits and it feels exactly like when I touched the circuit.
If I'm hallucinating, just tell me I am. Otherwise I'm gonna believe that there's a problem with the phone.
Touch the screws again and see if it's systematic.
If it is drop in some super glue or get a case to avoid shorting out your phone.

I think you're hallucinating. The screws don't come anywhere near in contact with the battery/electrical component of the phone. Or it could be static you're feeling?

How does static build up? Considering that I use my phone for hours at a go, and I barely move my fingers (except for my thumb, duh!)

Could be the same issue I have with cases like the Ringke slim. My pinky rubs on the bottom edges and starts to have a numbing/tingling feel, eventually I start to feel it in my palm and wrist.

I know it is bad to ask at this moment, but didn't you have any protection for SGT while you are having it? I meant do you have cover with it or it was drop right at the surface on something hard?
I am just wondering if my existing cover (from VIVA) can withstand such drop?
I hope your Tab can survive this fall.
Holy ****. The community is with you at this sad time

you should be able to get a new one since the glass is supposed to be indestructible.
thats a great argument for Samsung.
Ouch luckily I've only ever dropped mine once and that was onto a softish surface whilst in it's case. Fortunately it landed flat on it's back with no adverse effects
I’m really sorry for your tab…I dropped mine a few days ago it bounced twice but the cover from scoshe helped the tab to survive my clumsiness

just a tip for everyone else: the silicone case seems quite good ar protecting the screen. i accidentally dropped my tab down all of the stairs and the screen is fine
Wow, now that is impressive.

The screen is not covered by warranty.
Reason being ~ contrary to belief it is NOT indestructible as you say.
If you hit it face on then yes, it will withstand an inordinate amount of misuse.
However, hit it side on and that is a different matter.
Glass is glass no matter how you look at it.
Face on and the laws of physics will allow it receptive to change as the energy of being hit is transmitted back out of the glass, in other words it has flexible properties.
Side on however and it is rigid, there is nowhere for the energy to expand.
Instead it travels within the confines of the glass and because it can not expand it shatters.
Gorilla glass is meant to allow a greater amount of energy to hit the surface but again it will only do this under the laws of physics.
I can't believe no one said this already.....
That should buff right out
On a serious note...that really blowz man! Sorry

While replacing my Atrix battery cover with a rubberized one I got curious and peeled off the sticker on the at&t cover and I noticed some sort of shield material (see photo)
Would that be an RF shield, heat shield, signal booster, just a sticker?
Cheers!

My guess is that its a heat shield. Anyone else?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Probably just the sticker. Why would you want a heat shield keeping heat in? Wouldn't be rf since it's not grounded to anything else in the phone, and anyone believing those "signal boosters" actually work, I've got some land to sell you.
Probably something to dampen the signal enough to meet FCC requirements.
The foam you see is to keep the battery cover firmly pressed against the phone. Dont want a battery cover that flexes when you press it! Drop it just right and it would shatter without it. Think of it as dynamat for your phone.
just the glue for the sticker

Good guess, but it actually sits pretty flat so I guess its not that, but who knows, it may be all the thickness it needs right? ;-)

Definitely some sort of glue, but it has some kind of metal feel to it, almost like tin foil.

If it's anything interesting, it is probably a heat spreader, not a heat shield.
I just got an oem replacement cover (to completely debrand my Atrix) from cnn and it does not have the sticker (nor the speaker grille). I'm gonna use it as is to see if the absent "shield" makes any difference.
The oem rubber cover do have the sticker on.
Sent from my Atrix using Tapatalk
that type of glue is common on "no tamper" stickers as it is easy to see if someone has removed it. My guess is that the manufacture just has most of its stickers made this way as a SOP kind of thing. I can not imagine they really care if someone takes a sticker off a solid piece of plastic
Hey guys , this is not a guide or something, i just wanted you to show what I did with a carbon fibre and the two back covers of my phone.

I recommend 15x15 because 10 is small and shall be enough for only one time, and if you have more you have a backup if you screw something up the first time.

well, i used a 10 by 10 ..
only for once ..
And it's easily found in any car modifying shop..
so what I did was i left my ouya on for a few day doing nothing just on the homescreen. It got warm. Left it on its side did the same things with it and it was no where near the same temperature. its almost cool to the touch on the outside.
I thought that was the way it's supposed to go... otherwise the fan is on the bottom getting blocked.

There is no fan on the bottom. There are vents, but the fan is mounted to the heatsink which is mounted to the processor which is on the board which is mounted vertically in the case. So the fan is actually sideways when the Ouya is sitting upright - which may explain why the OP seemed to experience better cooling with it on it's side. If he placed it on the side that puts the fan up then it may cool somewhat better naturally just due to the way heat rises.
But really, why would you possibly think it goes on it's side? There's a weight in the bottom to keep it upright - what would be the point of that if it wasn't meant to sit upright? The bottom heaviness was very apparent to me when I first picked it up out of it's shipping box - but I still had a good laugh when I opened it up and saw that they actually added weight to it to keep it upright like that.
From what has been talked about, the OUYA is specially designed (like a good PC) to pull air in one side and push it out the other. The vents on the bottom I believe is where it's pulled in, then makes a wind-tunnel like effect, cooling the inside and pushing it out. It could be the other way around, but not sure.

not a wind tunnel effect going on in the ouya. The fan is mounted facing toward the wall of the box, not vertical (toward the bottom or top).
First need to change thermopaste to "IC diamond"
Then replace the fan if not happy with temps.
I just got my S7, and by mistake I pushed in the bottom mic hole with the sim tray tool Samsung gives you. I definitely felt something move. It actually felt like I ejected the tray. Nothing snapped, just moved.
The mic still works because I shot some video and covered the top mic and it still recorded audio. I covered the bottom one too and the audio play back sounds the same for each mic.
However, did I destroy part of the seal for the waterproofing? Did I really break anything?
Has anyone else done this?
I would say it may not be waterproof now. But if the microphone still works, I think you got lucky and avoided damaging anything!
There's a way to check the water resistance without having to out phone in water, I don't remember so search it
From what Im aware the mic is on the bottom of phone and the noise reduction is on the top.

Download cpu_z and check the pressure sensor. If the numbers increase when you press on the back and front of your phone (squeeze it) it should theoretically be waterproof, as air can't escape it.
The mics are covered with a thin mesh, you most likely punctured it.

Yes, it's that mesh (Gore-Tex, or a similar product), that lets air pass but not water.
And that's why the pressure test mentioned above isn't valid. The phone isn't completely sealed. Air can pass through the Gore-Tex membrane.
f.ck, same happened to me, pushed the sim tool in the mic hole and felt something "pushing" inside ;(
just return to Samsung and tell them no one can hear you when you talk.. LOLOLOL
should be still under warranty
here is the video of someone taking apart S7 (not S7 edge, but the interior should be about the same) and explains how the phone is waterproof
not sure if it helps, but here you go
