For you photo buffs out there who are interested in adding magnetic detachable lenses to your Note 4 should be aware that magnets will interfere and possibly damage the OIS mechanism. Any magnet near the lens will cause the lens to move in the direction of the magnet and the phone will be unable to focus properly. Even with OIS off your lens will attempt to focus on an object wbut will be unable to due to the pull from the magnet.
I happen to have a 3 in 1 kit from my galaxy S4 that has the macro, wide angle, and fish eye lenses and was wondering if the magnets would effect the lens. Sure enough it does. So what are your options? You can get the clip on style which i dont like that much because it puts pressure on the screen and causes it to change focus points. You can also get a housing with the screw in type lens that contains no magnets. As of this post there is not one made for the note 4 yet but there is one for the note 3.
This maybe useful info for some who are unaware of the workings of OIS. Dont waste your money on the magnetic detachable type.

Or maybe an industrious 3D printer owner such as my self who also just happens to have Note 4 might come up with something.
can you use the pressure sensor to know if device is still air tight? like those in xperia z3/compact where if the sensor value rises when applying pressure in display it means it is still waterproof, did anyone test the same on their galaxy S5 that is still waterproof, assuming all flaps are closed just like this thread

Hey guys!
Just received my s7e (europe) and I was wondering if there is any protective plastic film on the camera and/or on the flash & heart rate sensor?
I have removed the plastic film on the back but the camera & sensor was not covered so I wasn't exactly sure if the rest was protected. On pure sight, there doesn't appear to be any protective film but I am not 100% sure (maybe on the flash/heart rate sensor though).
If there is a film, what is the best way of removing it? With a toothpick, ...?
Anyway, thanks for feedback!
My S6 last year had a think film over the heart rate/flash and I used my nail to remove it, it actually scratched it. Its very soft plastic over that (assuming its the same).
At mine there was no film on the camera or heart rate sensor, just on the front and back glass.

Don't think so this year. However, word of caution, the plastic covering the heart rate sensor is easily phone to scratches (assuming it's anything like the plastic on the S6). I've had by S7E for about a week and I already noticed a scratch. Ugh...

The heart rate sensor in the Galaxy S6 scratched just by looking at it. Guess the S7 is the same.
I didn't notice any plastic film covering the camera lens.
I used a hammer to remove the plastic film on the heart rate sensor.
The screen is slightly shattered, but it is only noticeable if you look at it.
I recommend the use of a 9lb lump hammer, as a side benefit, it seemed to reduce the dimensions of my S7 Edge, making it easier to fit into my back pocket.
Can anyone suggest a good screen protector?
I have seen reports on that it actually has a plastic film. Mine has scratched already but I can't seem to be able to remove it.. If there is any to start with.. (I have the european version).
Mines scratched aswell. Hoping its a plastic cover thing.

Theres no film on the camera and heart rate sensor of my european S7 Edge either
I just ordered some tempered glass camera protectors on ebay

I am disappointed

So after some rough treatment under water the other day, my fingerprint sensor has started to peel ever so slightly from the top. I suspect this will get worse as time goes on. I'm not overly bothered about the aesthetics of peeling, but do we know if this affects the actual fingerprint scanner use?
Mine has started peeling to but no water here. Just 2 years and a half daily use. I've reinserted the fingerprint in settings 4 times for the same finger and now it works like new.
Does anyone know what kind of battery to use in the tire pressure sensors? I have the one from Joying.
