[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wierdoha:
Ok so I accidently bumped my fence which had my phone on it which had a pot of water next to it. Then my phone dropped in it and i pulled it out as quickly as possible and took out the battery. FYI: My phone was still working underwater. HUGE MISTAKE. I popped in my battery to see which things worked and etc and also when i booted my phone back up the battery dropped 20%. Then i took out the battery, sim card, and sd card and let it dry in the sun. My camera is all foggy and stuff now. Can anyone help me fix my camera, speaker and battery? :eek:

*EDIT* Also my speaker was jacked up too i think because the speaker wasnt sounding very clear.

*EDIT* #2 The good news is that my battery strip thingy didnt turn red/pink. Its still white.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
No problem, because you got the insurance from T-Mobile - Right?

If you do then it is covered. Water damage is specifically mentioned as covered.

If not . . . hmm, since the dot is still white you might still have a chance. Usually there is more than one though. The one near the battery is for a quick spot check, often there is also one inside for confirmation. Provided everything is ok, and it is still under warranty, maybe removing all signs of water (water marks, fog, ect.) and then attempting warranty fulfillment MIGHT work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wierdoha:
But my phone is rooted lol... so should i restore it before i do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
If you want, but from the several times here that I have seen where ppl send in their rooted Vibrants for warranty repair (usually GPS), it does not seem as if T-Mobile/Samsung really give a d4mn.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peecs121:
One word for you ...rice. put your phone in a bag of rice for 24 hours and don't touch it. After that take it out and clean it all up, put your battery back in and it should work perfect.

I actually washed my wife's phone and this worked. Hope this helps

Yea right now my phone and battery is in a bowl of rice. Its been in there for about 5 hours. Hope it works :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
is rice like a dampness soaker?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColorNapkin:
It absorbs humidity.

By the way, in the future don't put the battery back in until you've let everything dry as long as possible. Any water could short circuit the phone if you put the battery back in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medoo313:
I would think also about very detailed disassembling and let dry very very well for long time before trying powering the phone.

alcohol is good for wiping off some certain parts but it can break the screen seal

Hope That Helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Depending on your own morals, you could probably still get a warranty replacement after the water inside dries out. T-Mobile won't open the device up to check for internal water damage most likely, so if your sticker is white then you should be fine.

And FYI, bleach on a Q-Tip will turn all red water damage stickers white again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wierdoha:
I put my vibrant/battery in rice for 24 hours exactly and now everything works perfectly! :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdarooted:
Don't waste your time with bleach and q-tip, just ask for the replacement and when it comes, take off the new sticker with a hair dryer, 10 seconds or so, and tweezers. Then replace the water damaged one with the new one. Just like operation.

Hi there,

I am thinking about buying this wonderful phone and so I found that on mobilecityonline you have the best price. However, I saw that the model is i9100BKEU. Is this something I should worry about? On both amazon and amazon uk you have the I9100LKAXEU model. I really like the price on mobilecityoneline but I don't want to have any surprises after buying the device.

Could anyone please explain the differences?

Thanks.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsaqazza:
So I've been using gb ROMs for a while ever since they got to be stable enough for daily use and the one thing that I've noticed at least for me is that the wifi doesn't work, which is a bummer because I use wifi constantly at home. The two ROMs I've used claimed that the wifi works but it Just doesn't for me. I've used both J's and R's gb ROMs. They both say authenticating when connecting to a wifi network but thats as far as they get. I'm also using the custom kernel 008 if that helps at all.

So pretty much is there an easy fix for this or am I just out of luck? :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
If I am correct, that specific custom kernal you are using at the moment wont let you use wifi. R's Rom if you are referring to Rendeiro2005 I know his wifi works since I used it without the custom kernal before.

[Touch HD General] thedexter999:
Hi guys i have some serious battery drain on my new touch hd, last night the phone had 40% and this morning it was dead, this is with a brand new high capacity 2400mah battery, i have data turned off as well as the screen.

I am running stonehenge 6.5 rom with cookie home tabs.

anyone got any ideas?

cheers, thedexter
[Touch HD General] br3nd4n:
change rom ;)
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
turning off the display and wireless connections is one way to save power, but still the battery usage can be easily estimated by having a look at the cpu and ram usage. i for one use the stock rom, and when there are no apps running in background, my ram usage is at 35%, given that you are using wm6.5 and cht, i guess it would revolve around 60-70%, so indeed, to save power, a rom change might be helpful.
[Touch HD General] thedexter999:
thanks for the suggestions guys ;)

flashed a new rom version and downgraded radio to 1.14 and battery life was about the same, then i followed the battery calibration wiki and charged the phone whilst it was switched off and my battery life is looking much better.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrodroid:
Man, I hate it when people do that...

1. Search for APK Manager in XDA and install it on your PC

2. Download and Install the Android SDK kit on your PC

3. Follow the instructions for APK Manager and place the APK file in the modding folder

4. Open APK Manager and select Decompile APK (Your APK file will be placed in a separate folder for you to work on)

5. Change what you want to change in the APK

6. Recompile the APK and sign it (unless it's a system file like framework, those are not signed)

A lot more is involved in modding an APK file and you really should know something about how the files inside the APK work before you go changing things, but in a nutshell, that's the basics.

Hope that helps! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsb9938:
What I have learned.

I had a specific question, but here is what I can tell you.

1. Setup APK Manager, it saves a lot of command line typing.

2. Pretty much always use option 9 and 11, never 1 or 3.

3. If you are simply changing graphics and not smali or XML files, don't use this, open it in 7zip and drag the files. Decompiling changes the image darkness sometimes.

4. Unless you are working on your own apk file, always say yes to 'is it a system apk', when it asks you to keep existing files, say yes. Delete from the 'keep' folder what you edited.

5. If you edit XLM files, delete resources.arsc from the file, this is where they all get compiled to.

6. You can use this for jar files, just rename to apk then back to jar when finished.

7. If you get an error try using option 20 to increase the memory to 1024.

8. If you edit jar files, delete classes.dex in the 'keep' folder when compiling.

9. Treat all files as signed system files (as noted above) and you will be much safer. If the file has a signature on it, this will save it.

Okay, since everyone cool is using Cyanogen Mod, I'll use Cyanogen Mod.

First, some noob questions.

1. I have Android Revolution 4G 3.2.

2. Obvious Inspire/Desire HD on ATT.

a) If I were to upgrade, how do I keep my apps/info that is on my phone? Titanium Backup. Or Nandroid Backup? Or something else?

[HTC Inspire 4G] madjsp:
You use Titanium Backup for your apps. No matter what ROM you change to, you can always restore your apps. Nandroid backup just backs up the ROM (which is smart anyways). If something goes wrong, at least you can revert back to Android Revolution until you find out why the CM7 install caused you issues.

I'm looking online for silicone cases for the sensation but so far not seeing many. I'm wondering does the case from an inspire or dhd fit, are the dimensions and body the same?
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
Here's what I just found on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-SENSATION...HXOA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1305462011&sr=8-7

Amzer.com lists a TPU skin in a variety of colors, which appears to be in stock.

http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Soft-Gel-TPU-Gloss-Skin-Case-Black-P91136.htm

I ordered the one from Amazon, since it's clear and allows the phone's visual aesthetics to be seen. Not to mention the fact that for $6.95 and free shipping, you just can't go wrong.

05/20/2011 UPDATE:

I received the TPU case, and its size leads me to believe that the Sensation will be just about equivalent in size and form factor to the MyTouch 4G. I've attached some comparison photos - the photo of the MyTouch 4g is actually the MT4G in the T-Mobile gel case sitting directly on top of the Sensation TPU case. The photo of the back of the TPU case is actually the case sitting on top of the MT4G in the gel case. My apologies for the flash in the side-by-side photo - I took it with my work Blackberry, which is always a crapshoot when it comes to using flash.

Silicone case blocking GPS signal

I just recieved a generic smoke grey silicone case for my sensation which I bought from ebay.

I notice there is quite a significant drop in the gps signal when I have it on.

Could you all check and report wether these silicone cases that you have purchased affect the gps signal. Color, Type and From where purchased.
[HTC Sensation] Jennerster:
I have a amzer case (clear) and the signal drops only slightly.

Without case : -87 dBm 13 asu

With case : -107 dBm 3 asu
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
How to get this kind data?
[HTC Sensation] splbound:
My case does not affect my phone signal only my GPS signal.

I can confirm this using the GPS status app.

From the same position.

Case on - the GPS can see 1 satellite

Case off - the GPS can see 5 satellites

When I put the case back on and place it in the same position yet again the satellites picked up drops back to one.

I have now put an order for a clear silicone case. Maybe the dark pigments they use to colour the case kill the signal.

I have also pre ordered the official HTC one as well to test.

Does anybody know which one is the GPS antenna on the phone? The top or the bottom one?

I ordered the black TPU case from Amzer. Arrived on Saturday.

It did come in black. Very shinny black gloss coating.

One bad thing on this one is that there are no holes for the microphone inputs on the back of the case! MEH!

The lack of a response could be to the fact that your post is a bit hard to understand some of your questions---

For an explorer (file manager) look for one in the market. You have multiple choices like file manager hdm astro, es file manager and more

For the power button, I'm sure there's a useful widget in the market

Now the tough question..if you're asking if software designed for froyo will work, it's pretty much a yes, but there nay be some that don't like honeycomb. If you asking if froyo can be installed, then no, not now and I don't see anyone trying.

You can use multiple apps by switching back and forth between them. Start you first app and hit the home button on the task bar (second button from the left at the bottom of the screen).
