@ 3mel - 18.02.21 - 03:06am has anyone actually put their phone to the test of water resistance intentionally or accidentally ? tell us about it... I'm bored and this forum needs activity Yeah I put a lot of my phones to the test, first began with my S7 Edge and Note8 to. These days I clean my phones after being out so I get some water on them quite a lot. |

I've killed all of them in the bath, without even submerging them. Samsungs are the worst, i give up with them. The seal needs to be a mapped 0-ring which is compressed imto a channel as two halves are press-clipped together. I first considered this idea 20yrs ago with Nokia's X-Press on covers. But no, what you get is a screen (and sometimes a back) bonded to the shell with a double-sided sticky gasket. Heat from the steamy bath softens the glue, and the phone steams open like an envelope. On both S6 Active and S8 Active the screens just fell off in my hand. I now have a bath phone. It's a HTC U11 which steamed open but survived. Both the front and back are now glued on with automotive oil pan sealant (strong silicone adhesive). I put loads on, so it squidged into the phone quite a lot, and had to wipe the excess from around the frame on the outside. The U11 had a unique failure in that the foil coating on the inside of the back came away, so i had to rub that off first, for a sure bond. This phone still refuses to drown. The buttons and charge port are untreated/standard unless the silicone in there has helped. |

the obsession with glass backs means adhesive seals are the only way... and how hot are your baths man. heat pads used to open phones usually run at 130c

The glue, presumably, never dries. It's tacky to touch when it lets go. It doesn't take much heat. Also, air expands with heat - when your phone is in cold water the glass is being pulled into the gasket. But once warmed up, it's being pushed off. That said, it doesn't reach the temperatures a glass back can reach in use. The Sony Z3's back fell open in the bath and I could fry an egg on that thing at times.. It's probably the combination of heat, time and moisture. |

So what have you learned from that? Don't use your phone in the bath
