[Please help]My S7 works only with charging cable - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello
I got my s7 edge 20 days ago and today i accedently drop it in water for about 0.5 seconde
The phone shutdown and doesn't work anymore :crying:
But after 1 hour-after plug in the charger- It worked and i was happy but sadly when i remove the charging cable the phone sutdown again
any solution please ?
edit : i put the phone in the rice already now.

You probably damaged it.Next time you get a waterproof phone,chech without water if it is waterproof then dunk it.Most devices cant survive when phone fells in water because of a high pressure at that one second.Sorry but you must buy a new device.

Its only just 20 days.. Return it to seller/ visit service centre to claim warranty..
If something happens within 14 days they will replace it with a brand new device.. since its already 20 days, they will fix it free of cost.. Dont worry.
Just give it back and play dumb.. Say it just happened and U didnt do anything.. They will try to blame you.. Be careful just deny any accusations lol.
They cant do ****.
They have to replace your phone/ repair it free of cost..
The phone fell into water not a solid surface. So no visible defects/scratches. So u are good.
Go there and Claim your warranty and terrorize seller/ service centre or both lol

Thanks guys
Samsung Comapny here in Tunisia was kinda lovely.
They apologize for the damage cause the phone was already owned by a member of them wich they opned it for the test and forget to put it in storage
Anyways,they gave me a brand new s8+ + Gear VR and they throw it in water in front of me just to make sure it's working.

Wow lucky

Weird question: how can i shorten the life of the device?

So I have a note 3 n9005 that is two years old. When I bought it I purchased 2 years of extra waranty (so I had 4 years in total) which also gave me premium service. Means that whenever my phone gets defective and I go for a warranty repair, if they do not fix my phone in 5 business days I get all my money back (the initial price I paid back in 2014). I updated to a s7 edge and gave the note to my girlfriend, but I didn't take good care of the phone: the chrome bezel is all washed out, the screen has a few micro scratches etc. So I'm thinking of intentionally shortening the life of the phone somehow. Apart from the battery, the phone still works like new and it still performs very decently compared to today's standards (kudos to samsung for this durable phone lol).
So is there anything I can do to "brake" my phone, but it would still be covered by warranty?
I'm thinking of running a very intensive app non stop while keeping it charging. Maybe excesive heat will do the job in a week or so...
If it's an accidental warranty, you can always drop the phone and tell them that you accidentally dropped it . OR you can try Hard Bricking the phone after rooting and flashing some wrong bootloader through odin so that the phone doesnt even boot up. After that, just tell the warranty guys that phone suddenly stopped working.

It's not accidental warranty, it's like a normal warranty just extended for two more years. Won't a brick of any kind leave any signs that it was rooted, or the software was changed? If they find out its my fault they'll likely reject the waranty.

I accidentally emmc bricked my Note 1 [N7000] before warranty expired, and the phone didnt show any boot screen in any way (Completely dead). And the guys at Samsung changed motherboard (i think). But I was lucky in my case.
I have a better solution to your bezel paint peel off problem. Just buy this case, its really awesome and it covers the bezel and replaces the lame old battery cover with pure aluminium .
Kommandant Case
Or you can use any other case for that matter. In the case of micro scratches on the screen. Suck it up bro, its just micro. : )
Does anyone know how to hardbrick this device without leaving a trace that it was rooted?
Since this thread is basically about committing fraud, I'm afraid it will have to go.

I Think You must take this phone to Samsung Service Center and ask them if they can repair your phone under warranty. don't tell them that you are rooted your phone.(if possible reset your phone firstly). if they do not repair it under warranty then ask how much it will cost to repair.
Why would Samsung repair a physically damaged and tampered phone under warranty?
You are going to have stump up the cost of the repair.
Lesson 1: Never trust a friend with hardware repair
Lesson 2:
As said before, you are going to have to get it repaired either from a Samsung centre or some mobile shop. It's gonna cost somewhat around $30 since there gonna be doing stuff in the internals.
Replacing the glass might cbe more expensive
I suggest you tell your parents if you can't afford the costs but hey thats just my opinion

S7 Edge dead screen.. No reply from Samsung

So my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge broke after 3 months, I got it the day it came out in the UK. At first I opened Snapchat then all of a sudden a third of the screen went pink and flickery, so I contacted samsung and they said do a factory reset and get back to them.
This did nothing, so I went to contact Samsung again and whilst I was contacting them the screen completely went so it was sent off to Anovo I got an email with a image of my Micro USB port saying....
“We have located damage on your device and this damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Our engineers have found liquid damage and are therefore unable to further assess any faults you were experiencing.
Please see attached a picture of the damage.
This damage is considered too severe for us to proceed, and classes your product as Beyond Economical Repair. (BER)”
I've never put my phone in water as I've never wanted to risk it but it has been exposed to a bit of rain (the weather hasn't been the best in the UK). I phoned Anovo to find out what was going on. The man on the phone told me exactly what the email said, and when I went on to say “I thought it was water resistant” he put me on hold to speak to someone. He then came back and said the engineers found water in the charging port but didn't say how it got there and also didn't tell me why the water sensor in the USB port didn't work to prevent it from happening, I don't know if a message pops up on your phone when you try and charge it when it's wet or not warning you but if there is one then I've never seen it.
But what's even stranger to me is that the phone still functions, it charges, it vibrates for notifications and the little light comes on, it makes sounds when you press the volume buttons, you can double tap the home button and it opens the camera, you can press the volume buttons to take pictures. So I feel like it's not as broken as I'm being told. I've made a lot of phone calls, sent a formal letter and 2 emails starting on Friday 13th (when I got the email from Anovo) and I am still yet to hear anything back!
I can't post links yet so can't attach the youtube video and image
Just posting this to warn people that the S7e might not be as waterproof as they make out and I wanted to see if anyone else has had any similar problems and could please help!
My first S7 Edge screen was faulty aswell, screen gives purple smudges and streaking black when swiped, sent it my mobile provider and was too severe to fix, so I got a replacement.
here in Australia the mobile service providers have to provide warranty to the life of the 2 year contract and we have tough warranty laws to protect consumers from these kinds of problems.
Could you attach some image or video?
You can try post the URL like "google[dot]com" or something like this if you can't directly post URL.
Hey, I have somewhat the same problem as you, My phone suddenly didn't show anything anymore, as if the screen was off. but everything still worked. So my screen is dead but not the touchscreen/anything else. and it's really annoing, also have not been in touch with water, and the waterdetection thing in the microSD tray is clearly still totally clean. so it can't be water. gonna send my phone off to repair monday and hope they are nicer than you'r provider...
I lost a 3 day old S7 edge to a total water damage. I placed it in a bowl of water ... anyways, they claim it's IP87 so the phone should handle this.
This phone isnt waterproof, or at least not mine, but my provider says "following up to our test we performed with the given device its still waterproof" and so the warranty is just void.
They asked me if I submerged the phone with the SIM-tray open. Or, they claimed, as its obviously the only way for water to get into. (...)
I have a IT diploma so that is just nothing Im evening considering discussing.
Its with a lawyer now and everybody should be very aware about this situation and how Samsung defines IP87

The fact is that IF something happens, they just claim its your fault, because (!sic) you probably didnt keep the Simslot properly tightly closed(!sic). End of story for Samsung.
My S7E have this exact same problem before (glitch screen then went completely black screen but everything else work including touch screen) and It was fixed by just a screen replacement by local Samsung service centre under the warranty. I live in Thailand by the way.
I don't think it's water damaged. I did put my phone underwater before but there's nothing wrong with it. The water damage indicator didn't turn red either which indicated no water entered the phone.
I think it's just faulty screen batch and the affected device is among the early batch S7E.
Anovo is the one who run the Samsung service centre, right?
If so, I think Anovo is just being irresponsible.
I see nothing in the image they sent. I can't see anything indicate that the phone was water damaged. It also too blurry to see anything else.
Also from what I thought, since the phone is water resistance showing the image of outside the phone shouldn't be able to tell anything about water damage since it's the part that won't get or allow the phone to get water damaged. If they really wanted to show the damage, they must show the component inside the phone that get damaged.
In conclusion, the image they sent is nonsense and useless.
I'm not sure but maybe filing a lawsuit can help you.
Hello all!
I got the same problem. My screen has now a big lign without pixels and the screen is blinking a lot.
I've bought it in belgium at Mediamarkt. I'll go today to post it to repair. I hope that I'll not take too long before get my repair.
I never try to put it in the water or anything like that. It's protected by a Spigen Case and the phone is perfect not even a single scratch on it or the screen.
I cross my finger also because I've root it so I hope that they not tell me that I lost my warranty for a hardware problem!
Thanks!

Hi,
I have started to reading a lot and see that in my screen edges the touch is not so sensitive. It fails a lot of times.

Im on btu latest version.

Water damage - suggestions?

I had my shiny new Axon 7 for less than 24 hours when I left for vacation with my family. We were at a lake with a fishing pier when my 2 year old nephew took a spill off the pier. I jumped in after him, and all is well with him. But my phone was in my pocket. I immediately put it in rice and didn't touch it for 2 days.
When I took it out, it was completely dead. Thinking that maybe the battery just died, I charged it, but nothing. Then , later that night, it stated making sounds for notifications (must have been hooked up to wifi). It became obvious that the phone was on and working, but the screen was dead.
The next day, the screen came back to life and everything looked normal.
So I put my SIM card in, but it doesn't pick up a signal. The phone definitely recognizes the card, but nothing happens. I switched it to the second SIM tray, but the same thing. The signal bar on top is just a blank triangle. I even tried a second SIM card from my work phone just in case.
Any suggestions or am I toast?

The A2017G has one 'liquid damage repair' withon 2 years with the VIP warranty thing. If you send the phone though, be prepared to be 2+ weeks without it (at least two months ago they didn't have replacement parts/phones, so they left everyone waiting for a lot of time), but you might as well have luck. If you have an a2017U i don't know.
You probably have some water on the SIM tray slot though. Get the tray off and leave it one more night on rice, maybe it solves itself
U need to do a ultrasonic clean. Al connector must be cleaned with gasoline and u need to check every component for oxidation even under heat shields.

I am a local cellphone repair shop that's why i was telling the procedure to help. I repaired couple of water damaged devices. U can do it without ultrasonic cleaner but u need medicinal gasoline that is a must and toothbrush. U need to clean whole motherboard without heat shields and u need to clean all connectors. U need to check shortage as well
Just chatted with customer service. The Passport 2.0 coverage covers water damage, but need to pay $80 deductible. Fine with me! Only problem is that I am not the original owner (bough it on Swappa) and the warranty is not transferable. I've got a message into the original owner to see if he'll help me out. Fingers crossed!
Was able to track down the original owner - great guy. We called ZTE together and was able to file a warranty claim. I paid $85 and they're sending me a new phone.
All good!

How to totally kill my S7 edge?

Hi team. My S7 edge has been rooted plenty of times, tons of custom roms, etc etc. I have owned the phone for 23 months now. The battery is dying, home button peeled, usb dropping connection, and I just found warranty card stating that is still one month under warranty. But due to rooting havoc I inflicted to my phone, knox is deeply tripped. I am trying to find a way to break my phone so badly that it is not even possible to go to download mode so that the service centre cannot check knox status.
Any ideas? Removing cable while flashing bootloader? Undercharging the battery to kill it? Did anyone try?
extract sboot.bin from firmware and flash it with odin very quickly, when it is in middle or between flashing remove the cable immediately and hopefully your phone will die repeat this again and again also try with cm.bin too. You have to hard brick your phone don't try to damage battery or break anything physically it will void your warranty straight away.
PS: I think knox will show tripped if they did't replaced the motherboard and used another method to flash it and you have to blame them that they did it not you.:victory::victory:
It seems to be difficult to hard brick the phone. I tried many times - in Odin, I selected BL button, selected the BL archive from stock firmware, then during flashing I was disconnecting the phone. I tried it several times at several stages of flashing (once i hit the sboot.bin) but the download mode still works and displays warranty void 1. I can't kill off that download mode. I am starting to worry that it is hardcoded into some ROM module that just cannot be written and so it is running from hardware. This factory flashing through odin is doing everything with NAND memory that is read-writable but it looks that the download mode "partition" is not writable at all. Despite I break bootloader or whatever else, i just cannot destroy download mode, hence it is impossible to hard brick the phone. I was thinking of overclocking the CPU to destroy it but i think it would be too obvious.
If you are based in the EU, then Samsung needs to repair under warranty regardless whether you have rooted your phone or not.

Well, it is the law...... a vendor can't just invalidate your statutory warranty, because they don't like what you did........

If they refuse (which they probably will) take them to court. Just to be clear, you need to take whoever supplied the phone to court, as you'll have warranty with them.

Use a USB killer. Simple.
how about give it to somebody who really could use a phone?
Put 12v ping from old pc psu on usb 5v and +data (red and green wire in cable) rail ,it will kill it,work with my old LG G4 whenn LG wont replace via rma screen with red retentions,fry it on 12v for few miliseconds do not for longer time or will be start smoking
Hello all, just an update,
they totally repaired my phone, no questions asked. Replaced the battery, entire front panel with screen, home button, and they even replaced the chassis (metal frame) so it looks like new. A pity that the back cover remained old, scratched.
Samsung rulez.

At most, all he will accomplish with an USB Killer stick is to fry the contacts on the USB port if it's not securely plugged in. The S7 is immune to the USB killer stick.

I confirm it's waterproof as before. Since repair, I had it with me several times in wellness tub, sauna, jacuzzi (warm water - more risk to "loosen" the adhesive), also took some slo-mo videos during water sliding and there is no sign of water / drops / mist in the phone. I am taking it to the sea in 3 weeks (for the 3rd summer in a row). The phone is holding together like new. It also suffered a few drops - no damage.
Just a note - USB charging is not working several hours after bath. It must dry completely. So bring a wireless charger if you plan to bathe with your s7 edge.
The best phone in my life. It's so durable. Although.. note 8 would be a nice upgrade
I have been using my phone for 2 years last month I thought will replace battery, in local Samsung shop battery replacement cost £60 together with the battery but I thought I will try it myself. Bought battery for £20
Few tools to open the phone, hair dryer. Tube of silicone, double sided tape.
Local shops are filled up with spare parts for s7 edge back plate motherboards etc and they're cheap in case if I damaged anything.
It took me around 2 hours to replace the battery and haven't damaged anything, was thinking will test if my phone is still waterproof. Well Samsung says originally I can put my phone underwater 0.5m deep for 30 min and it should still work.
I did extended water resistance test. Used fishing rod and there's lake just behind my house. Attached my phone and dropped it I think around 4m deep and went back home and came back in the evening around 8 hours later thinking either fish ate my phone or surely it died, pulled it back and there were few messages on the screen, someone texted me while my phone was on the bottom of the lake.
I guess I have waterproofed my phone better than Samsung
