@event....nice one douche. Should've saved that haymaker for you I imagine. Thanks for the replies everyone else. I'm always happy to get a new phone regardless. Hope everyone had a good 4th...

[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I think he meant it as a compliment, maybe. Being addicted to root is a badge of honor, for some... of us, lol

If you're in KY near water then there's a good chance I'm close enough to come get 3d video of you punching him again, or maybe asking to see his phone then throwing him in for a swim.

That does suck man. I almost had to go back to a bb curve for a few days when I broke my evo, the horror!
[HTC EVO 3D] notown775:
a new one? you mean refurbished .. I'd make him buy a BRAND NEW straight from sprint for 500 .. most expensive push ever.

sent from a 3d fone
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
I've found myself in that situation far too often, I love to go fishing, and sometimes forget I have a phone in my pocket. Well I've gotten into the habit of when I'm gonna be at or near water for awhile I slip my phone in a ziplock in my pocket. lol

Seems stupid but hey I saved my EVO4G a couple times lol
[HTC EVO 3D] event:
Haha, it was only meant to be slightly backhanded, so both of you are right.
[HTC EVO 3D] xoreactionzox:
Punch your self an take your evo 3d to the dump im returnin mine for being so unreal i get 0.05mb on sprint internet come on now cricket is twice that fast
[HTC EVO 3D] charnsingh_online:
i had a bricked mt3g with a vodafone splash screen and went for an exchange from tmobile and didnt wanted them to know that it is bricked by the vodafone spash screen. i took a jug of water and poured into the phone carefully so it didnt mess the indicators and then plugged it in and booted, still worked, then i microwaved it for a few seconds until there were some sparks, took it out again booted, idk what htc puts in their phones but they do survive the utter torchure. I ended up disconnecting a wire on mt3g on the inside so it would short out and didnt boot and finally got an exchange. for my n1 it fell off from 8 feet just a dent, fell off 3 floors onto trampoline nothing, fell off 1 floor another dent, fell of 2 floors on its edge broken screen ( no broken glass just screen ) its survived too much torchure. Have HTC Magic 32a bought it on launch still works perfect =O
[HTC EVO 3D] hondarider525:
I had the same thing on the mytouch, I just mailed it back to them with the voda splash screen and prepared to play dumb if it was ever brought up. They never asked any questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] Fricksta:
since ur already getting a new one. Try putting that one in a bowl of Dry Rice. Might as well see if the rice sucks the water up and you have an extra 3D its worked for me on some phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
LOL i did something like this last month went in to the girlfriends pool and then when i got out. i had not only my phone but her phone both in my pocket totally my fault but i was just like seriously WTF lol. btw both the phones where evos :/.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
Since the device is so new... the chances of him getting a brand new one is very high... $100 deductible may just send him a brand new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Yeah, I'm hoping the $100 gets a brand new one sent to me. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow and see. As far as the rice goes, I let it sit in rice for about 24 hours and though the phone is dry, there are still the three different layers of water inside the screen. One layer of water banding, one layer of large droplets, and another layer of banding running the opposite direction. Really strange to look at...

@event- apologies to you, I'm usually a little more grown-up than the name-calling. Was just in a foul mood last night over this. I do run a firefox addon to auto-refresh xda. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] waynebike:
There are not 3 layers of water in your phone, just one, it's a 3D phone remember, it's a feature. :)

Anyway sorry to hear about killing one already, glad you are getting another.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
Bravo on the right hook!
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
These stories make me cringe... Why don't people just take care of their stuff? Sounds like a lot of people here need waterproof/crushproof cases :)
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Apparently you have never been drunk around a lot of other drunk people (or just one other drunk person) around water. As Forrest Gump says, "It Happennnns."
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Really? He didn't say HE wanted to see if the phone would take underwater 3D pictures Jesus.

Sorry man I feel your pain. Last year early may I was fishing. Phone was in my pocket and life was good. Anyways. I had Knee surgery the week before. long story short. Knee gave out while putting the trolling motor in. I went head 1st int the lake. Phone went to the bottom. :s But Good came of it as I replced crappy phone with my 1st android. Haven't been happier since! ;)

So since I feel your pain. BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! that's awesome. and an appropriate response for the death of an EVO 3D. Completely justified.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Believe it or not, but I party a bit, and I haven't ever destroyed a cell phone... Usually if I get too drunk, I put the phone up somewhere. Color me paranoid I suppose.
[HTC EVO 3D] magicalan:
i will color you paranoid :P
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I do too, I don't know why, both options are pretty much the same I guess (punching one button). I guess the only difference is that you don't have to line up your mouse with the refresh button when pushing f5. That will probably save you about 4 minutes in your lifetime. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
Two days after I bought my HTC Hero, I dropped it, charging port first, into a bowl of sweet and sour sauce. turned it off wiped it down as best I could. Took it home, flushed the area with distilled water, let it dry for a day and a half. Faithful service for another year and a half.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Yeah it's not too unheard of to dry out a phone and have it work just fine. Especially helpful if you throw it in a bag of rice.
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
Ouch that hurts...that sucks man!
[HTC EVO 3D] Pedronis:
Wow... that would drive me insane.. But oh well, at least you are getting a new one...
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Believe me, I definitely feel like an idiot because I've never even had to use my insurance before. My launch day EVO was in perfect shape when I sold it 2 weeks ago...

I had almost made it to the boat where I would have stowed the phone until leaving, but missed it by about 20 yards...

On another note, I filed the claim with asurion yesterday morning and paid the deductible online. I got an email back confirming and that my new devie would arrive in 1-3 business days. Now I go back to check the claim/tracking status and it says:

Thank you for checking the status of your claim. We know how important your device is to you.

We are doing all we can to obtain your device so that we can ship it to you as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we still do not have your device in stock. It may take 1 to 3 business days from the time you completed your claim until the device is available. We will send you a tracking email as soon as it ships from our warehouse.

Please remember, for the most up-to-date information continue to check back here, on www.phoneclaim.com.

Ain't that some sh!t....FRUSTRATING! Has anyone had problems with them before or is it just my luck this month?
[HTC EVO 3D] Crossrocker:
I don't think he deserved getting punched for a phone. Its a phone..

Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
A friend off mine tossed his EVO sift in the toilet. He put it in a bag of rice and all is well. But I no longer want to check out his phone.

Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
dropped a phone in a hot spring in Yellowstone, think the ph was 2..not good man not good.
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
Oh he deserved to get punched or at least a well timed nut shot. What if he didn't have insurance. You ruined my phone I paid $200 for. You get but we are still friends because you paid for my new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
I barely even tapped him, and he deserved it times 20. You all almost make me feel bad....:rolleyes:

Good news is that I got the confirmation that it left the FedEx in Tenn this afternoon so it'll be here tomorrow. Hooray for that!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I once had a friend who was at a concert and happened to be talking on the phone to someone. He was mistakenly in a mosh pit and someone did a last dragon jump kick to his head and pulverized the phone that was on his ear. He got a couple of stitches and a messed up phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] event:
I was half joking about the F5 comment as I stated earlier. I tend to hit F4 to close windows if I don't care about the tabs I have open, so I'm a pot if you will. :p

To add to phone mishaps so my post has some relevancy. I know someone that dropped their Droid in the toilet after pissing, didn't want to touch piss, and flushed assuming the phone was big enough to not go down the drain. Well it rotated perfectly and went straight down. I believe he couldn't get a replacement cause he had no phone and flushing it wasn't going to fly. Not a friend so I didn't follow up.

No more standing near water OP, well not around certain people anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
To actually answer this question.....I'm going through the same thing with Assurion for my wife's original Evo. Long story short, the charger shorted and borked the cpu (last Thursday). They don't have any Evo's in stock and we still don't have a shipping date for her phone.....Needless to say, she isn't happy. The next problem is that when her new phone does arrive it will most likely already be running Gingerbread, which means she won't have her root & rom back.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
At least it wasn't you that caused it. I hopped in the pool tonight (fairly intoxicated) and realized about 30 seconds later that my phone was still in my pocket. I filed a claim with Asurion, said it drown. Even if it were to survive the dip in the pool, there is water between the glass and screen which would leave a spot that would annoy me as long as I was using it. Really can't believe I did that but **** happens. I just pray I don't get a refurb, with a phone this new I would imagine I wouldn't but you never know.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Ouch- yeah, it's definitely a sickening feeling. Especially when you're so attached to your phone like I am! New one will be here today before 3 so very happy about that. I've been going crazy not being able to take 3D pictures of the kids lately. I'm still holding a (very small) amount of hope that the replacement will be brand new....and S-OFF! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
So what has the community learned from this? Probably nothing LOL

What I learned...if I am ever going to be by the water I will leave my phone in the house or car.

BTW, if you took your brother to one of those court TV shows you might win a case against him making him pay for the phone. You just have to prove he did it. Perhaps with some cool 3D pictu....oh...wait....
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
When did you file your claim? I filed mine about 2am EST this morning. I just checked the status and I got the same message you got about "We are doing all we can to obtain your device so that we can ship it to you as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we still do not have your device in stock."

Edit: Just got my tracking info, should be here by 3pm tomorrow. Hopefully it's new.

You may not have learned anything but sometimes you just have to share your pain (or in my case stupidity) with like minded people who can appreciate it.

[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
while your punching him, give him a nice swift kick in the baby maker.:eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Well now I definitely have to laugh about it, but only beause I got my new device yesterday! Brand new in the box with all accessories. So I didn't pay a dime and came out with an extra sd card, charger, cord, and battery! Even seems like this one is faster, but I think thats just in my head. No S-OFF though. Arg....
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
Good to hear, I got a brand new one as well. It ended up costing me $100 for my stupidity but the only consolation I have out of it is that my first 3D had 1 dead pixel, the new one has none, lol. Not really worth the $100 but I have to find a silver lining somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] 718BK:
Good to hear you got the replacement.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Is it possible? I just moved from cm7 to synergy and I did a titanium backup but when I import messaging force closes I'm willing to flash asopif needed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Did you restore system settings as well?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
I believe so I imported two portions sms press and one more

I did sms prefs and dialer storage
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Re-flash the rom, and and restore only apps and data, never system settings; try that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
So just dialer storage instead?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What do you mean by that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
The only two items I see relating to sms are sms prefs and sms dialer storage in my titanium backup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No, you're gona have to reflash the entire rom, starting over, and when you get to that portion, sinply restore all apps and data, not system settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Tried that as well with no luck I guess its because I'm going from 234 down to 233?

I bought an acer liquid s100 with 2.1 on it. now I upgraded it to 2.2. I downloaded it from acer and followed the instruction. when I am in the middle of installation, it just finished 25% then shuts down. After that, it showed words in red colors then restarted again and showed a triangle image with an error and a android logo. I dont know what to do next. I followed other forrums but nothing happened. I tried to master reset it but it didn't work. I need your help pls. thanks.
[Desire General] Guru Cube:
Hello all,

I am sorry for starting yet another failed RUU thread but I am struggling to find any solution on this. I am relatively capable having rooted, s-off, updated radios etc on my Desire HD. This one is above my level though...

I have tried to root the Desire using Unrevoked 3.32 but it kept failing. I decided to try a 'simple' RUU flash - no worries there, I thought. I cannot remember the original software or baseband numbers now. I have feeling that the radio was not identical on the RUU, as I could not find one on 'shipped roms' but I got one as close as possible (for O2 UK - there is a choice of two. One has radio 5.09.05.30 and one is 4.06.00.02. I went for the 5.* as the one I had was also 5.* but I think it may have been slightly different). The RUU got nearly to the end of the system section (90%) when it failed and gave an Error 110 (possibly corrupted data in the RUU).

Now when I reboot, I get a grey HTC in the centre with a /!\ in each corner. I was worried it was bricked, however, I can fastboot into the OS and use the phone normally. It just won't restart properly as it then goes back to the grey HTC /!\ situation. That seems to me that everything is working ok, I just have a software conflict somewhere... would that be a correct assumption? Either way, I am stumped as to what to do next, so advice would be really appreciated!!

(As it's my girlfriends phone, I could be in trouble here!! :()

Thanks!!
[Desire General] jhonybravo4u:
Ok boot your phone and create a goldcard.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

If you have trouble setting ADB... Goto market and search for app called goldcard helper... it will give you the reverse CID and you can follow from step 7 from above guide.

After creating a goldcard.. flash below RUU

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
[Desire General] liberator72:
The exact same thing happened to me when I decided to go back to stock a couple weeks ago. I just re downloaded the RUU from shipped roms and tried again and it was fine. I had to manually download and install the new market though once I'd set up as it wouldn't update itself
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Latest o2 UK RUU is this one (better link than shipped-roms):

http://www.multiupload.com/7YMY6RLCKY
[Desire General] Guru Cube:
Thanks for the quick replies guys!

jhonybravo4u - I'll try out some new RUU files before I give the GoldCard option a go. If I need to go that way, I'll let you know how I get on. :cool:

liberator72 - I did try redownloading once. The error does say that the RUU may be corrupted so that is a possibility. I'll try a few more times. :)

Cheers EddyOS. Hopefully they will be more stable hosts and I'll get a better download. I'll keep you posted!
[Desire General] Guru Cube:
Ok, downloaded from Rapidshare and got the same message...

I'm going to try yet another download - the 4th attempt - so I may need to look for other solutions soon. :confused:
[Desire General] Guru Cube:
Ok, I have...erm... progress? I just tried the same RUU file straight away and now I get:

The phone has gone to the RUU HBOOT page this time and shows that it failed on the:

Then tells me that 'Partition Update fail!'

The RUU program then gives me an option to go into recovery mode. I can go through this but unfortunately it seems to be a dead end.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Oh dear.... now the 'fastboot oem boot' just sits in the command prompt saying <waiting for device>.

This looks ominous.... :(

Edit (2): The 'fastboot oem boot' has just worked again... Thank goodness!!
[Desire General] jhonybravo4u:
When you download the above RUU .. please check the MD5 Hash

Should be

14d740a8ec68bd8cc830ff7c0905df72

And I suggest to create goldcard before doing anything.. as that will get you out of any trouble.

As it seems your phone is branded.. and you wont be able to flash any other RUU
[Desire General] Guru Cube:
Thanks jhonybravo4u, I am just going via your proposed method. GoldCard is created and I am just flashing - or trying to - the RUU that you suggest. :)

Edit:

johnybravo4u, Sir, you are a legend! I'm in and recovered. Thank goodness!! If ever I pass Kuwait, I shall buy you a beer... ;)

Now, to finish the rooting process...
[Desire General] jhonybravo4u:
Anytime Buddy....and for beer I may have to come to UK rather.. as in Kuwait thats not allowed ;-)

I have at&t and i read that on an android phone, you can disable the data in the settings and there are also apps that block the background data for the widgets and such. is this true on at&t? i want to block the data so i dont have to pay on an lg gt540. its not at&t branded so i dont think ill have a problem, thanks! 10 points for best answer!!

You can switch all data off on android os, that is not a problem, its easy to do
[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
Airplane mode if you want no connection at all besides wifi. You can disable data if you want to still put service on it but most carriers have policies that any smartphone requires a data plan, so it just depends on what you're gonna do with it.

I have multiple android phones, only one has paid service and the others are just used in airplane mode with only wifi for needed transfers or whatever, used primarily for development or testing things that I don't want to risk with my primary phone.

[General Questions and Answers] WiredPirate:
Sounds like you want something like Droidwall that restricts apps individually.

Edit.. If you want to block all data try APNdroid. And 3gWatchdog counts the data for you, even per app.
[General Questions and Answers] Jotokun:
AT&T does their smartphone detection primarily based on IMEI number. If you dont use a phone that AT&T has ever sold, you have better chances of avoiding the fee but no guarantee. The best way to avoid the data charge is to use an imported device that was never sold on AT&T.

Received my SGS2 on 29th June and ever since it start having emergency call syndrome (out of blue not receiving any network signal).only after reset, it regain signal and same story goes on till date.

To overcome this prob,i tried these:

- factory reset 3 times

- manually choose telco/network carrier

- update/flash firmware (stock XWKF1 -> XWKF3)

so for these only reduce problem's rate to occur.PLease,help anyone?

Hi

I have the same problem as yours (i thought i am the only one having this)...out of the blue the phone changes to the emergency calls Only status....

it is very annoying specially when you are expecting an important phone call and you discover that the phone cannot receive calls :mad:

it became a habit of mine to keep checking my phone every once and a while, and when spotted i restart my phone and this brings the phone back to normal (Normal for a day or two of course).

Can anybody help with this?

Actually i have flashed this Israeli ROM (it is an Orange official but leaked ROM) about a month or so and it supports Arabic, English & Russian (exactly what i need) that i have no complains about so far except this emergency Calls issue and i am not so fund of rooting etc so i don't know where i can find another ROM (official not cooked ) that have the same languages supported.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
What is your signal strength when it changes to emergency only? Mine does that during very weak signal, I found it's because it can only receive GPRS singal which is from another carrier when my own (HSPA) can't establish connection.
