So this amazing, stupidly expensive phone (at time of release) seems to have a problem with it's charger port cover.

I did the latest update last week and the phone got SO HOT that I couldn't touch it whilst it was updating and as the update also drained the battery I went to charge immediately after, and the charge port cover just snapped off as though it was melted or damaged during the update.

I contacted Samsung on Twitter and they say I can take it to one of their centres for them to deal with (50 mile round trip).
So my phone is no longer IP67 because of that cheap little flap on the bottom. I always thought it would break off. It's small but it's really p****d me off!

Anyone else had this problem?
 
It's a fairly common problem. You can get a replacement part from Amazon. There are videos showing how to install the part.

Dirt cheap to replace, snagged a handful for only a few bucks off ebay. Literally takes seconds to install.

Only replaced mine because of how scuffed up it got after a year.
