I also flashed the Australian firmware from sammobile into my brand new samsung A7 2017. Everything is working perfectly since 2weeks now. I even received a 154MB update this morning and ofcourse I have quietly installed it. When Samsung releases the A7 nougat in Nigeria, I will go back to it. Make sure u obtain the firmware from sammobile only cos that's the only place u can obtain the official samsung stock firmware.

HADES99, 26 Oct 2017How about the success rate in which the scanner recognises your finger ? Does it fail often ?If you registered your fingers properly, it won't fail. Mine never failed even once, though it may fail when there's water in your fingers but on a normal circumstance it doesn't fail. The trick is register your thumb correctly and place it well whenever you want to unlock your phone.

Mine is all ok. everything is working properly. Your warranty is not voided. You can flash your pakistani rom back and your warranty is back. you can check in download mode as well. there you can see official rom. You also dont worry about your privacy because we are flashing official rom of samsung that available on internet. If we use customized roms then we have issue with privacy. Talking about updates you will recieve United Arab Emirates (XSG) updates on this rom. after back on pakistani rom your pakistani updates is back.

AnonD-709702, 26 Oct 2017Just to make myself clear again, there's no damage done to the waterproof feature? Which means... moreYou can dip it in water. However, the speakers go all weird after you dunk it in water. What I do then is switch off the phone and put it inside a bag of rice. Dries away water from the speakers

AnonD-697425, 26 Oct 2017No damage. I'm dipping this phone every month on a basin for 5-10 minutes. Everything is fine.... moreThanks bro
It's not dipping the same phone you took out from the box.. I'm talking about my phone in which the sim ejector (pin) was poked into the mic hole.. someone here may be someone who admins the page replied saying " no, dont worry" etc etc.. but i just wanna reconfirm that i still can dip the phone in water.. (even after pin poked in mic hole)

But Samsung released precautionary measures (I forgot where I read it). If you are dipping this phone in non-tap water (sea, swimming pool, etc.), you must wash this phone with tap water afterwards.
EDIT: I read it here http://www.samsung.com/au/pdf/IP68.pdf Nevermind the device mentioned in the document. It's for all Galaxy devices with IP68 rating.
