Well, I swapped out my original S7 Active for one that was made after the defect was fixed. Then, I splashed oil on my phone or in the act of cleaning the oil off my phone (not sure which caused it), I got a crazy rattle out of my external speaker. Called up AT&T and Active #3 is on the way, all under warranty. Yes, I explained what happened. They seem to be pretty liberal with warranty returns now. I'd advise anyone with a problem to give them a call.
