I was cringing so hard at that, especially when he broke out the beer. I mean it didn't short out immediately or anything but it was still.....awful.

These people are just nuts. There are some horrible "hammer tests" which I can't stand at all. If you're that stupid, you deserve to have a broken phone.

This was only a test. I don't think someone would try that on his personal S4

I guess phones are demo phones for retailers that can't be used for anything else anyway
More importantly, I'd like to know the post-testing results. Able to dry out and work like new? Any screwy controls/gross display issues? Would be cool knowing that if my phone did happen to take a dip it wouldn't mean an automatic send-off to the manufacturer.

Funny you should say that, I had a similar problem with my S2, some sort of debris got into the port, and it blew the whole charging PCB ! Found one instantly on ebay tho so it was clearly a known issue.

What real life scenario do these "hammer tests" replicate? Of course it will smash your phone if you use a bloody hammer! As for water/beer test, not as worse, but still silly. And doesn't prove a thing either, mind.

Hurtful to watch, but at least we know that the phone is water and beer resistant lol

Interesting experience for a non water resistant device. It's the charging and usb port still working? Speakers and microphone?

Sorry to say but this problems is not solved. I have just ”test” this crap of software and destroyed the speaker. The owner (Mike Reid) of this sw not even alert me about the known problem with burning the speakers in the past. I did not know them only AFTER it happened to me. May 29 was a black day for me. The main problem was that this guy not even try to compensate me even it was 100% his fault. He did not warn me about the problem. I found later (to late) about this problem it happend to others also. I have ordered the speaker from Ebay (it was 3,5 usd and the transport was free of charge) so he could easily ”clean” his fault.
So guys, take care about the risks with this sw.

Happy for you that you have no damage. Sorry to say but a physically damaged (as was mine) is not repaired by reinstalling the kernel or even the whole rom. Anyway I will try no more on any other phone and advice all my friends for that, because of the risky you can have. More than that, even if there will be no risky in the future for this software, the guy who made it worth no cent because of his behavior. Such persons who don't care about what happened to others (and I repet, it was 100% his fault because he didn't warn me) worth only loathing from me.
Still using it fine here...

Once again. I am not telling you all not to use it. I was told my experience just to warn you that you could have this situation. As I told before, if Mike warn me about this possibility I, and not him, should be blamed for my try. But more he has a strange behavior after I acuse him that he is quilty for that. My background teaching stops me not to show our correspondence to a public view to see the real man behind this software. Piece of crap. For me, a human been is more important than a couple of bucks spend to repair something...

Not right for you to call another human being a piece of crap though. Mike does a lot of hard work and I don't think its fair for you to throw him under the bus like that. Be the bigger man over a $3.50 speaker..... You've been bitter for EXACTLY 6 months to the day in this thread. Get over it

Yes, I'm under warranty but I've bought the phone from China and I'm from Italy, only the ship cost will be more than the repair.
There's no place to repair a china phone here, nobody even known the phone
But it's a problem that has a lot of OPO and the manufacturer said that, they're good enough and, even N% has yellow screens...
But I'm really not happy with this phone, not only for the yellow line.
There is no way to fix it, with usage and time it gets slightly better. 99% of phones have this, so you should not have bought the phone, if you think this is a deal breaker.

I didn't know that this kind of phone has this kind of screen. Obviously I never bought a phone with this defect.
I really never bought a phone even if I had known the state of Cyano 11s.
But it'd definitely my fault.
Thanks for the answers.

Yeah wow, looks pretty shoddy, but considering I don't see repair parts for the special edition anywhere, I don't think we'd have a choice. I guess with a case on it afterwards you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Quick question - have you compared the connectors of the backlight for the Kenzo and Kate? Is there any difference? Wonder if it might be software related?

I have just ordered it, it was available for the gold one at least. Previous to the payment I calculated shipping cost to Finland with my address and it was 0€, it said also the delivery time was 7-10 days. After they´ve received the payment (39,42€), they sent an e-mail with the real delivery time: 11/05. So from 7-10 days to 23 days...
I will have time to check some youtube videos about LCD replacement and decide if I will do it by myself, meanwhile I´m already asking for budget is some shops... I´m not quite slick about assemblings/ replacements.

Has anyone played with S8/S8+ antenna? Tuning or calibrating? I was playing with my old S6 Edge+ back in the days and it was pain in the B** back then. I first messed up really bad than and needed 2-3 days to set it up back and even had boosted 30-40% signal. I really don't think I can manage that time again now. Anyone else???
