You can dry it completely in an oven for three hours at thirty degrees or so. I've done this three times. If you have a fan forced oven, just turn the fans on, that'll be enough.

A safer way (if you can obtain it) is to leave the phone for 24 hours in a bowl of dessicant silica gel. You'll often get a small packet of silica gel when buying new electronics or other moisture-affected things. That small packet is enough, just put it in an airtight bag and leave it for 24 hours.

The next step would be disassembly and a thorough swabbing with denatured alcohol, but that's pretty extreme and only needed when the device isn't booting.

Some LCDs are hard to get moisture out of, some are not. Leaving the phone with the silica gel for longer will have a better effect. As the previous poster mentioned, rice also works (quite well), but takes longer than silica.

Good luck with it!

Another thin that will absorb moisture is common table salt. Take the phone apart very carefully. Remove battery first, make sure you're grounded as well.:)
[General Questions and Answers] darkman088:
Hello everybody.

thanks a lot for the numerous advices...

Unfortunately, I have more to report...

The phone dried out and booted 2 or 3 days later, as I said. The stains on the display disappeared as by magic one day later.

Everything was fine for a week until I launched the camera 2 days ago. The backlight of the display went off and came back only after removing the batter for 15 minutes.

Now the backlight is going off pretty often, sometimes it requires to remove the battery 1-2 times before it starts working again and yesterday it happened that it got activated again when I got a call...

Any ideas please?
[General Questions and Answers] darkman088:
And also the phone keeps overheating from time to time without real load (GPS or wi-fi) which dries out the battery. But I had this problem also before the laundry :-)
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Sounds like that moisture in the LCD unit left a bit of residue and is shorting the backlight somewhere.

Only option there would be to disassemble and swab the LCD boards and cables/connectors with denatured alcohol.

Alternatively, a new LCD unit should fix the problem if it persists, just make sure you alcohol swab the connectors before plugging them back in :)

Someone also mentioned drying out in salt before. While that does work, salt is extremely corrosive on solder and SMCs, so I wouldn't recommend that route.

i heard hair dryers are the bomb at the screen moisture, just take off all that you can and blow dry it.
[General Questions and Answers] XXCoder:
I just don't understand your refusal on using white rice. It have saved countless phones.

Uncooked white rice is VERY mosture negative. Just put layer of rice, put your phone on it, cover it completely with white rice, seal it in. Ziploc could work too.

In a day or two your partially dry phone will be bone-dry. If it was soaked still you could first try to shake out water as much as can, soak it in distilled water to remove minerals, then white rice it for 3 to 5 days.
[General Questions and Answers] Z!GZA!G:
I had this problem with my Touch Diamond. Everything worked, but while i was trying to dry it I broke one of the battery "hinges" but the phone still worked after except only with black screen. The best thing to do probably is just leave it for a couple of days and hopefully your phone will be back!
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
exactly what ive said. ive read everywhere that rice is one of the best solutions out there
[General Questions and Answers] Jsmokey:
Like was said before you most likely have some corrosion on a few contacts, if you have about 6 bucks you can spare you can get residue free contact cleaner in an aerosol at radio shack or any electronics store and save yourself having to scrub each contact and connector. Just tear the phone down down spray all the contacts and connectors with contact cleaner let it sit for a few then spray it down with air duster to get any thats get under the resistors, in the connectors, etc that hasn't dried; let it sit till you're positive everythings dry and put it back together. Does the same thing as alcohol just alot less scrubbing.

[General Questions and Answers] darkman088:
Hello,

thanks for narrowing the problem down.

But for me it looks like something different, because:

1) I have been using the phone for 1 week without any problems and it got screwed after I've launched the camera app for the first time

2) The backlight works when I power on the phone. But its stop is event-triggered, like when I launch the sound or video player or when I get a call... Similar events would trigger the backlight back on.

Perhaps reflashing the software could fix that?

I went to a shop today and put another battery. The phone booted, anyway without any backlight, twice...

At least the device is still alive.
[General Questions and Answers] XXCoder:
There probably was a tiny water bubble and it messed with phone when you turned camera on.
[General Questions and Answers] shawayne21:
remove the back cover and battery from the phone, and put everyting in a bowl of rice for a day,. should fix everything,
[General Questions and Answers] Jsmokey:
Either that or a short in the cameras circuit from corrosion, either way i'd pull it apart before it gets worse and check it out.

Many are having problems with G2x turning off, but i am havint trouble makeing it turn off since getting one with 2.3.3 on it.

I have used both xboarder56 (unmodified except for root OTA) and EB 2.3.3 latest two versions. When I try to turn it off, it starts the shutdown with the TMo animation and jingle, and then opens up the home screen - which is frozen.

Everything else works OK - wondering if anyone else has encountered this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I am updating my post this way to get it on top again (response has been overwhelming so far).

I also noticed when the home screen comes back up, it notifies that is is now safe to remover the SD card, and a SD Card Icon appears in the status bar. The status bar is active, but everything else is frozen.

The modem has nothing to do with the rom so if you are on a eg22 "rom" and have the ec05 modem doesn't mean u can flash ec05 themes. Modem only controls the radio on the phone (signal)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hey guys,

There's a new RIL that should resolve all issues with old RAPH/DIAM's. Data, the works! Let me know if it works for everyone. This latest RIL is from schteve, who enabled data functionality on older radios based on hyc's work.

Without further rambling, here's how to install it:

Take the .zip that's attached and extract it to your SD card - either the root of the card, or in a folder, just note where you put it. You should have one file, libhtcgeneric-ril.so.

Go to your froyo.user.conf file (in the conf directory where you run HaRET.exe from to start FRX07...) Edit this file, preferably with Notepad++ (regular Notepad in Windows will make the lines a big jumble...)

In the CustomCommands section, put this command:

mount --bind /sdcard/libhtcgeneric-ril.so /system/lib/libhtcgeneric-ril.so

Boot!

If the editing the froyo.user.conf file is daunting, I've also attached one. Please change the filename from froyo.user.conf.txt to froyo.user.conf.

Both the command above, and the one I've attached assumes you have placed the libhtcgeneric-ril.so file is a the root of your SD card - no folders. Change the /sdcard/ side to /sdcard/mods/libhtcgeneric-ril.so if you have it in a folder called 'mods' which is at the root of the SD.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Alrighty folks! Let me know how it goes. I don't have data on my tester phone, so hopefully that works - also let me know if you can get a location using netloc (not GPS or wifi location, cell-tower location...) in Google Maps or something else that supports it. Please report any other issues related as well...

Edit - and MMS! Let me know if that works now as well... probably will need to enter in APN info in order to send.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
Sincerely Thanks

Arrrghhh,

Downloaded and I will try it ASAP my battery is charged again.

Arrrghhh Thanks again for all your patient and time you give to this, even I own a DroidX since December I want to gift my HTC Diam500 CDMA to my niece (but you know today Kids, if it is not an iphone or Android they will not use it, LOL).

I have read the @Hyc(highlandsun) comment in Diam500 CDMA Thread and I understand the situation, Thanks again, really apreciate your effort.

P.S: Maybe you need to promote/publicity more this Thread, I end here thanks to @Starfox and @Hyc.

I have a HTC Diamond 500 CDMA from Sprint

and the ACTUAL FROYO FRX07 (15 July 2011) LIST of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 COMBINATION that I'm testing with my HTC Diamond CDMA is:

1.- System-ext2 (15-July-2011) FroyoX07 (Froyo)

2.- I USE THIS ROOTFS (with the NEW RIL) Rootfs-20110721-258e98b.zip (21-July-2011) at First boot up (with clean data-img and erase Android folders) it appear the "OOps smd-tts mismatch" Loop but after a minute or two it appear the Xandroid boot Animation. This time the video doesn't freze or is eratic at all!!!!!!!!!! and after the long "data.img" re-creation (5-7 minutes) it bootup OK. NO lockscreen this time so I can start using it without a problem

Rootfs-20110721-258e98b.zip

3.- initrd-20110429-a3eace0.gz (29-April-2011 file is the same a 15-July-2011)

4.- zImage and Kernel module htc-msm-linux @ 20110718_223029-package.tar (18-July-2011)

5.- and Of course using this BETA FIX for CMDA phones (please use the "mods" folder to place your file so everyone is in the same channel.

So the XDAndroid folders are in /sdcard/andboot/

and the mod RIL goes here in /sdcard/andboot/mods/

the "config file" goes in /sdcard/andboot/conf/

** NOTE: ** I attached the "froyo.user.conf.txt" file with the new folder address

just remmeber to erase the ".txt" extension and copy this one to /sdcard/andboot/conf/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] sabrosolatino:
It is working!!! Wait what do we need to test????

Arrrghhh,

So FAR works fine but a little bit slow (some FC, no reboots). Slow as I have noticed weeks ago with July 21th RootFS

Wait!!!! what things do we need to test it???

As I have said RootFS July 24th, 26th and 27th are more fast but they are more hard to by pass the Loop error message.

And As I have said RootFS July 16th after it bootup and passed the XDAndroid bootanimation, it load ándroid but it is not UNlockeable the "Lock Screen".

By the way I neither had line in my HTC,

1.- but I have test enter to "network operator" (at Wireless setting) and know it don't FC anymore.

2.- Audio is NOW working (at least ringtones)

3.- Not one SOD,

4.- neither no problem at all to unlock it.

5.-Wifi works fine (enable, disconecting and reconecting)

update: WIFI is very slow, I'm less than 2 meter from the antena

6.- Google Maps can't locate the position with the wifi antena (as in my DroidX) but I guess it will do with the CDMA antenas (aGPS).

7.- GPS antena works really fast (more fast than in Windows without QuickGPS.

8.- As Hyc said, It still appear the loop error message but after one-two minutes the XDAndroid bootanimation starts.

Ok so this combination is working but it is more more Slow than FRx06.

Please Arrghhh let me know what else do you want to be test.

I have to go to work now so I will come back upto night.

Have a nice day!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I already mentioned what I changed in the first post - the only thing was adding the RIL, and using the 0622 kernel (linked in the first post).

I'm on the newest rootfs and FRX07. Phone is screamin' fast, but this thing has no service (so it'll connect to the towers, but data will never work). So maybe I'm not a great test case... for me, it's just as fast as 06, if not faster.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Bushrod:
Sprint Touch Diamond. Same setup. Same results. Incoming and outgoing calls look to work.

Added Android/internet APN and restarted. Still no data.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
You should have data tho, right? As in you're paying for data? The phone I'm testing on doesn't have service (at all) so it'll never connect to data.

Did you make sure the APN was "selected"? APN should have a radio button next to it that's filled green (not "empty"/gray).

Might have to do some advanced troubleshooting with you at some point. If you get a few hours of free time, hop on IRC (#xdandroid on Freenode) and hopefully someone will be on to help...

Thanks arrrghhh, Bell Diam500, the phone service works, no data. data icons (e.g. 3G, Evdo) don't show up. the android doesn't even say that I'm on Bell. it used to show "BELL" with FRX06). android is def faster than FRX06.

I tried to enter different APN's i found online, but as soon as I change MCC or MNC, android doesn't save the APN.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:

What does the service say? Should say "XDAndroid" now for your service carrier instead of your normal carrier.

I have a Sprint Touch Pro (RAPH400). I just tried the 0805 kernel and the new RIL. The phone boots past the point where preiously you'd get the smd loop! Great job on fixing that! However, once the phone boots it is unusable. There is such a delay when clicking on anything. I even let it sit for 15 or so minutes after boot thinking it might still be loading. No luck. Also, the radio appears to be stuck off. Then, I disabled the new RIL with the same results as above.

Ok good news & bad news!!!!

Holy Moly!!! GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS!!!! For DIAMOND 500 Sprint

August 5th 2011 Kernel FIXED the "OOps smd-tty- mismatch message" error. By the way, that "message error" appeared just after the line where the command "IP_TABLE" was run. I'm using the "RIL LIB*** config.user FIX"

But NOW again "XDAndroid BOOTANIMATION" get really laggy and animation stop several times.

As for "Aggiby5" Device bootup succesfully, but it is really slow and erratic. Device goes Alone (without open any Apps) to black screen in less than 10seconds (as SOD) and finally after waiting and waiting pressing the power button it appear the "Lock Screen" which is UNLOCKEABLE this time (It is a reverse!!! as what happended with combination Kernel July 16th and RootFS July 16th that was UNLOCKABLE at start screen.

I will try with other RootFS: Maybe July 24th or July 26th. NO good so far with July 27th and July 21th RootFS

THANKS for the FIXED "OOps" Hyc!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrrrghhhhhhhhh I have one question and one suggestion,

my logic tell me that this THREAD is for test and feedback for the RIL LIB**** FIX,

which people had reported that "internet DATA for CDMA signal" is not working which was supposes to be the FIX for.

SO MAYBE WE DON'T have to MIX the things here (by reporting here for the new kernel),

So where do we have to report about the new Kernel???

To All, this is only the second time I've installed an Android build, and I haven't fiddled with data yet, but after a really long initial boot & replacing arrrghhh's ts-calibration with my old one (attached) & a few more boots, it seems to work pretty well on my Alltel CDMA Rahp800. Touchscreen was way off before swapping files. The only call I've made was to voicemail & that worked (speakerphone volume too way too low, though). If you've installed Android before, be sure you've deleted all files & folders associated with the old install unless you know what you're doing.

In Windows, unzip the new .tar.bz2 file & rename the new "zImage_20110805_223228" to just "zImage" (without the quotes). Copy it & the new "modules-2.6.27.46-01344-g76a304d.tar.gz" to the root of your SD card, or wherever you installed Android to. DO NOT rename the new "modules" file, but DO delete the old "modules" file. If you can't unzip the .tar file, install 7-zip.
