[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilestoad:
Just dropped mine into the toilet about an hour ago. when i finished getting over the idea that I, too, was now one of those people, i put down the litter box I was about to scoop and fished it out.

Next thing I did was rip the back off and dump the battery, idea being to avoid any shorts caused by water mixed with power on circuit board. It had been in there for like 3 seconds, maybe 4.

I knocked it about for a while to see how much water would pour out - not much! So I let in dry out for like 10 mins, knocked it out a bit again, then put the battery in. First thing I noticed was that it seemed to turn on BEFORE I pressed the power button, something I specifically noticed. Hmmm.

The rest seemed normal enough. I was crazy impressed! Even a small dunk in a toilet (clean, luckily) is not a drop in a shallow puddle.

However, a bit later I needed to boot into recovery, and I couldn't get the freakin' phone to shut off. I mean it would shut off but come right back on again. I was thinking, water drop in the power button or worse a permanent short.

When I took the back off I saw that the camera had moisture inside of it. I remembered when this happened to a telephoto lens of mine recently and I extended the lens all the way as I walked. The lens casing heated in the sun and the moisture came out through the uh, rings? of the fully-extended lens.

So imagining that if the water could get in, it could get out, I broke out the hairdryer. It's a small one I've used for putting that plastic stuff over windows in the winter. I put it on high and held it like 2 or 3 feet from the back of the phone (cover off) for a while, always moving it to avoid hot spots on the phone. After a min or 2 the moisture was gone. I spent another min waving the dryer over the power button.

Wallah! works perfectly. nice....

If anything goes wrong I'm sorry to say it was because you rushed it all. You more than likely should have had it drying days not minutes and you never use a dryer. But, I'm knocking on wood, good luck!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilestoad:
I suppose one has to know the rules before you can break them. I have some experience with electronics and circuit boards, and have a feel for how much heat I could safely apply to the thing. I tried to indicate this in the original message by writing that I kept the dryer a few feet away from the phone, that it is a small dryer, and that I always kept it in motion. Oh and that I performed this maneuver over a period of a few minutes.

If anything goes wrong I'm sorry to say it was because I dropped it into a toilet. The age old tried and true blow dryer method, when properly applied, wouldn't be a problem.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Texan Athlete:
seriously though, these Epics are BEASTS! I've had mine for 7 months now, and while i haven't dropped it in water yet (fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc.) I have dropped it a billion times, no case or screen protector. couple of nicks on the outside corners along the silver line, but other than that, no visible damage. and no internal damage. i love this phone!

[HD2 General] ksnexusone:
I cracked my screen on my HD2 so while waiting for my new parts to arrive I got a good deal on a HD2 running windows.

so I started out to turn it into a twin of my other one. with magldr, clockworkmod, and Android. it alrready had 2.08 hspl so i loaded magldr. only weird thing is sometimes when i boot to magldr it vibrates 7 short pulses and the menu doesnt show up. put it in flasher and tried to flash cwm and it ends saying reset now!!!!. but when i try to load to recovery from magldr it runs thru a few lines but ends with "1EFATAL HIT 1" in red.

I can not figure out what the problem here is. can anyone help me here? if anyone has any idea what is wrong i would be so appreciative.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
Damn, seems you got a broken one.

The 7 vibrations thing means that there is something wrong with the hardware.
[HD2 General] ubejd:
we are trying to find solution ( actually we did but we you will need some equipment ) visit this link
[HD2 General] ksnexusone:
so none knows what the 1EFATAL HIT 1 is? I cant be the first person to ever have this happen.
[HD2 General] ubejd:
yes we know, thats why i posted that link.

If you followed guide to flash your phone and everything its ok ( software area ) than your phone has hardware problems - like corrupted nand, heating issues etc etc.

Put your phone in a fridge ( take out battery, sd card, simcard and put phone in a bag to protect from water ) for 5-10 min and power one if it boots than its heating issues .
[HD2 General] ksnexusone:
did that and still got the fatal hit error, so its a corrupt nand?

what now?
[HD2 General] tyler19820201:
Hi!

I would like to put onto my phone hungarian windows 6.5

how can i do that??

I have brought just now this brand new phone. Factory unlocked.

My phone details:

PN 99HJY002 00

ROM 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE

Manila 2.5.20181527.0

OS version 5.2.21913 21913.5.0.94

My laptop has Windows 7
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Did you ask that question in another thread?

Here you can find a ROM which supports Hungarian language: Click!
[HD2 General] ubejd:
could be.

Star again from the beginning ... flash your hd2 with stock-original rom ( download from htc - tmobile support with your hd2 serial number ) with sd card method and see if everything works well, then start to flash android or winphone 7.

Otherwise it could be hardware problems sending to a professional service shop could be only solution ( like posted in that link i provided, this means to remove and put it back phone CPU..etc etc).

i hope you will solve this problem :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
been using the stock browser but from previous experience its not the best.

currently trying opera (full version), which seems to be quite snappy, and I have noticed that typing lag is almost non existent.....this was very noticeable the stock browser.

personally I really like boat browser on my vibrant, but not available for tablets of yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
dolphin browser
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
Opera browser mobile, is by far the best browser at the moment, although using for any text imput can be frustrating especially in pages like facebook due to the tap inside and out of the box issue, however I do like the stock browser apart from the typing lag which for some reason varies day to day. I am using the stock brower to write this and the lag is only slight this morning
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nosolee Toxin:
I to use the stock browser, it seems pretty stable to me and pinch to zoom is very smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] todders:
Since i have exchanged my transformer i havent had any force closes with the stock browser yet.Admittedly i have only been using it for under 24 hours but it appears a lot more stable for some reason. I have the same apps installed so i have ruled out that an app was causing the stability issues. Iwill keep testing over the next few days but as of now iam happy with the performance apart from the standard keyboard lag.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mister Locke:
I use Firefox as I'm a diehard Mozilla supporter. I like it more than the stock browser, but that's just me. And no I'm not a fanboy that thinks everyone should use Firefox I just prefer it over all other choices.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kxnzxmori:
Stock browser for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Midda:
I've been using Opera Mobile lately. It's nice and fast, though I prefer the layout on the stock browser. The stock browser is buttery-smooth most of the time, but chugs out occasionally. Opera, while not quite as smooth, is always constant. I've never seen it slow down.

I briefly tried Firefox and promptly removed it. It was the laggiest browsing experience I've encountered on my Transformer. I don't understand how they can make something so simple run so poorly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wdustin1:
My browser of choice is opera mobile. Aside from a few small annoyances I think it really blows the stock browser away except for the quick controls which are nice

Opera mini for most sites. Dolphin for desktop versions of sites. Stock for Facebook. xda works by far the best on opera mini. flash is broken on any browser still (google/asus fault) really hoping that is fixed soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
I like to use stock browser, it is fast and the interface looks the best me, but it always crash (without any error prompt) keeping me to stay away from it. For now I use dolphin for stability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Steve182:
Been using Dolphin Browser HD for a while now. Better than the stock browser which kept FC'ing on me. Havn't tried Opera yet, maybe I'll give it a go tonight.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CalvinH:
I liked the stock one, but decided to try new ones to get rid of some lag.

I didn't like Dolphin neither Miren.

I thought Opera was great, but tehe textbox input is horrible :mad: . This is the third time I am writing the answer to this post :( , and I hate loosing typed text. I am googling to see if I can get rid of this textbox or else unistalling opera.

Regards.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Opera Mobile - almost perfect but strange tabs (if you can get used to it it should be perfect).

Dolphin Browser - great, but has severe issues with opening links in new tabs (and opening links in general).

Stock browser - not that bad either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] W4LLY:
Try Maxaton Browser. It's designed specifically for 10-inch tablets. It also doesn't default to mobile sites.

Dolphin HD is good too, because there is a desktop mode setting. I don't need mobile sites on my "tab-uter"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
Plus 1 for the above he is bang on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] juon33:
I use opera for daily usage, but maxthon is nice too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ldrn:
I mainly use the stock browser because it has the best keyboard shortcut support. I also use Dolphin HD because it has LastPass integration and the second-best keyboard support.

:( I keep Firefox around for when things don't work with those two, but it doesn't seem to support any keyboard shortcuts, which is strange. Opera and Maxaton, ditto, but not strange.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xTRICKYxx:
I wish a Desktop port for Firefox would come... But Opera has ZERO keyboard lag, vs all of the other browsers.

Opera also has a stupid tab browser, and text box issues.

Hell, a Chrome port would be amazing too! I want my addons/extensions! NOW!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] juon33:
Does your Stock Browser never crash, my stock browser crashes all the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] todders:
Juon on my original trnsformer it crashed every few minutes ,since having a new replacement because of many creaks it has not crashed once in 24 hours. Iam sure it will at some point very soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
If it would have the fast scroll button of the stock browser, it would be nearly perfect. It especially has less problems with bad designed sites.

So I use both.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Interesting that you use stock browser for Facebook - that was one of the primary reasons I went to Opera.....facebook gave me a page error every time I tried to access in the stock browser, no such issues with Opera.

A strange quirk I guess!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
I wonder if there's any way to port the quick controls from the stock browser into something like Opera? Just a wild idea, pretty sure it would be a nightmare! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
Wild idea? Why not drop the devs of your favorite browser a short mail?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
Opera Mobile 11.1 as it addresses most of the issues most other browsers have (particularly the crappy text input lag) and now features Flash playback. Currently my default browser and I'm happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Opera Mobile is easilly the fastest and most compatible Android browser..

There are only 5 true browsers for Android, everything else (DolphinHD for example),are just skins on the default bundled browser and suffer the same faults and quirks.

(The 5 true browsers that include their own rendering engines: Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Firefox. Netfront and the stock Webkit Android browser)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
Why then does Maxthon show golem.de correctly, while the stock browser has problems with that side?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savkhetan:
Hi all,

I wanted to get a Android phone (Fascinate most likely) for my dad and he's on Verizon. He doesn't want the data plan though.

VZW says that even if I buy one from eBay or Craigslist, when I call to add the phone to the account, they will require a data plan.

Is there any way around this?

Just wondering because I was surprised by this rule. I'm on T-Mobile and haven't dealt with VZW much.

Thanks all.

I was just curious if anybody could point me to any information regarding how to start *making* themes. Like how they're assembled...it seems to just be a bunch of media, but what exactly, I don't see a manifest or anything in there that directs what to go where. Also trying to figure out what's in the APK's? Anybody have any input here? A link? Some knowledge? A simple theme to tear apart (and/or how to do it)?

I'm not much of an artist, I'm just trying to figure out how this stuff works, nobody wants to tell anybody anything, it seems, I don't get why :(.

Also, how does the theme tie into the framework at all? I'm assuming this is the framework/SDK version? Like they're typically just icons or pictures and the like, no?

Thanks in advance, guys :).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmlhodge:
No manifest? Have you ever unzipped a theme?

I would do a lot of reading. But since it is in a sticky... Im def not going to link you.

The apks contain the modified images and xml's.

Oh and this is a question. This goes in the q&a section.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndacate:
Yes, this is the 3rd one I opened, I don't see anything like a manifest document. Some have the installation script, but that's just boiler plate stuff regarding installation, the rest is just a .JAR or .APK - both of which are most commonly used for compiled code.

I apologize for asking this in this forum, I keep forgetting that this isn't a forum dedicated to android dev, but only postings of android dev, not questions. My mistake. I ask that an admin move this to the Q&A section.

I didn't see nor do I see any stickies here regarding theme structure :(.

I'll report my post now.

then the wi-fi after upgrading the zimagle Robin charging does not work anymore
[HD Mini General] Wowser:
The issues that you have raised are already documented and the developers are attending to them in their own time. I'm sure others will agree that what is required from users like us is patience and appreciation to the core Android developer porting team who are devoted to extending the life of our HD Mini devices with incremental Android ROM releases.

Utsavkoju is right with a comment in another HD Mini Android thread that: "Rome was not built in a day".

EDIT- HDMini Android ROM 2.2 05.07.2011-r127 was released which is a major improvement over the last build. Make sure you delete from the SDcard root directory data.ext2 (if you installed a previous build of this Android ROM) then extract & overwrite all the other files in the SDcard root directory that are also contained in the 05.07.2011-r127.rar archive (ie. zImage, initrd.gz, system.ext2, STARTUP.TXT, HARET_PHOTON7227.exe and the update directory). If you installed previous builds of this Android ROM, data.ext2 has to be deleted because the wi-fi module (which is contained inside the data.ext2 file) has been updated. Otherwise the wi-fi will be inoperable [Source:r0bin].

Remember that by deleting data.ext2, all your preloaded applications and settings will be reset to the "factory default". This cannot be helped given this ROM is constantly being tweaked and improved for the benefit of the Photon user community.

dude the time runs faster in android and will be fixed soon the work for it has been started
