You said you had insurance, right? Is there an excess you would have to pay?

I might be a little worried myself, if it was only £50, maybe get a new one anyway?

What happens if something else goes wrong, you can't send it back as they will see water damage.

Yeah I think that might be a fair idea.
It's behaving as normal. I've made calls, Watched videos, scribbled s-pen from top of screen to bottom and it's fine. I'll ask in shop today but chances are I'll just be told to continue as normal.
 
Thought I'd try a tempered glass screen protector, so got an Ultimate Shield from Amazon for a tenner. Amazing protection (video coming soon of me jabbing keys into it) but terrible fit -

I'm assuming this isn't the norm for tempered glass?

If someone has one that fits well, I'd be interested to know.

I assume the reason why Facebook & FB Messenger seems to update icon notifications is because I linked Facebook to Samsung when I first set up the phone?

Even though I've turned off actual notifications I still get them on the app icons. What's the best way to delink / turn this off?

I'm tempted to just factory reset and root and go on a crusade against Samsung rubbish.

I can get tempered glass screen protectors for free to test for a friend. He's given me about 4-5.

The first batch were a reasonably good fit, they cover the entire screen just about. The problem I had though was due to the curved screen, the screen protector does not set around the edges. Not a problem at all when the screen is on because you can't tell, but you can when the screens off. I tried fitting 2 of these and it was the same result each time. I then fitted one on my brothers Note 4 and it was MUCH better than on mine i.e. it was less raised at the edges, in fact it's an almost perfect fit. I then went and tried another on mine but yet again the same result.

I've also tried the second batch which were slightly narrower, but these were also slightly raised at the edges and they didn't cover the entire screen (like in your pics) so I went back to the original ones.

What brand of tempered glass screen protectors did you use?, are they from the same brand, with just different results?

I'm about 99% sure i'll be getting a samsung note 4, its a upgrade from my old iphone 4, so i'm just doing some research on what screen protectors now.
Can anyone recommend a SD card for the note 4 something like a 64gb?
 
Brand - Ultimate shield.

Yes the Note 4 screen is curved at the edges slightly so it's hard to get the glass protectors to sit right. Hence why the shields have been made so narrow, but I prefer the wider ones that cover the entire screen even though it's raised slightly all around the edge. Completely unnoticeable right now as I'm using the phone, it's not like when you have an air bubble right in the middle of the screen which annoys the hell out of you.

I used the same brand ones on mine 3 times and got the same result each time, but the same brand protector applied to my brothers Note 4 gave a much better result the first time!! Maybe the curvature of the screens varies ever so slightly, I don't know.
 
One thing I noticed last night is that having my phone in a case has actually caused little scratches in the metal trim around the phone. Bits of grit must get under the rubber and erode it :( Nothing too bad but it spoils the sexiness a tad.
 
Tampered glass looks more clean and does not leave finger prints or grease marks like normal ones that's what I have noticed
