My opinion is that adfree doesnt work well because the hosfile it uses is originally created for windows, not for android so many ads still appear like admob etc. Im using this one, works flawlessly on my device

I think u should check your title before posting, root explorer is an app which is required for it and which is also not free in market, and adfree is a better choice as it is available for free.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mdfzhi:
Theres plenty of other filemanager with root capability and free in market. He just suggesting using root explorer, but not stated anywhere thats its nesessary to use it. Just use other instead.

btw his hostfile is also free, compared to adfree which in my opinion is pretty useless in android because it uses hostfile originally created for windows. Bunch of ads still appear if using adfree.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] guddu2011:
i think he stated that we have to use root explorer not suggesting. :cool:

and he said in his title that we need no app to block ads and wat i know is dat root explorer is an app. :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mdfzhi:
well then, we can just use adb to push that hostfile to our device. then again, adb is an app too. maybe we can just shove that file to our device using just our plain hands.

Maybe 5 to 6 month, but you can modify it by self.

First copy host file to your sd card

Second open it from computer use notepad and add ads domain like this format:

127.0.0.1 ads domain

Finaly overwrite that to system/etc

[Motorola Droid 3] Abradax:
My wife has a Droid 1 that I gave to her when I upgraded to the Charge.

I just used her upgrade to order a Droid 3.

Not accounting for 4g which I don't really care about for myself, which of the two phones would you keep for yourself? All I need to do is swap SIM cards if I decide to go with the Droid 3 for myself.
[Motorola Droid 3] Deleted member 4152922:
Well, it's not quite as easy as swapping SIM cards with those 2 phones, since the D3 has a global 3G SIM and the Charge has a 4G SIM. I had to take the two phones into a VZW store when I did the same thing last month.

As for which one to keep, it really depends on what you want out of your phone? Fan of physical keyboards and dual-core processors? Go for the Droid3. Fan of 4G, SAMOLED displays, and unlocked bootloaders? Go for the Charge. Fan of both? Well, now you're in a rough spot...

Honestly it's a tough choice. Both are very worthy phones, and I second-guess my decision to switch to the D3 to the Charge pretty often, because I loved the features of both. But I'm certainly not un-happy with my D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Abradax:
Did Verizon charge you to do the sim swap when you went to the store?

And yeah, I'm a fan of both so I can't make up my mind lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] Abradax:
Well, after talking to my wife, I think I'm taking the droid 3.

She will need the extended battery my Charge has to make it through the day in her building.

Cheers everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Deleted member 4152922:
Nope, they did not charge me for the sim swap. I was adding a new line of service though, so I'm not certain if that's just something that they'll always do free of charge.
[Motorola Droid 3] gabeevans88:
I have been into the verizon store multiple times because i switch phones all the time, they have never charged me for the sim swap.
[Motorola Droid 3] Deleted member 3845934:
tbh you dont need an extended battery with the droid 3, I use my droid 3 heavely and havent had a problem making through a day. if you got a bad d3 that I guess would make a difference.
[Motorola Droid 3] Abradax:
Yeah, I know I won't need one. But she will. even her Droid 1 has problems. She is in an old school building with thick concrete and steel, so she searches for a signal constantly. So she gets the charge with the extended battery, and I get the new hotness with dual cores. I think we both win.

Hi guys I have HD2 with nothing else meaning no spl no custom roms. I have only flashed the official 3.14 ROM.

[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Hi guys,

i accidentally left my HTC HD2 in my jeans,which i put in my washing machine.It spent 15 mins on full cycle,after which i managed to figure out my disastrous blunder and pull my HD2 and its batt out. Im extremely desperate to restore life back into my phone.I know HTC will not repair it since all 3 water indicators are pink. From a few online tips, ive taken apart the housing and the main LCM Module. I have placed these two parts in a container of rice. I have not stripped it to the bare parts as i fear i might ruin it further. Moreover, i have not submerged it in alcohol yet. the only thing ive done is flush out the soap with water(did that only for abt 10 secs though...is it enough?) and put it in rice. Its been 2 hours since ive put in in the rice. Im going to leave it in the rice for abt 2-3 days before turning it on(hopefully it does:(...).I really need help fast guys. Should i use alcohol NOW before putting in rice?...Should i strip it to the bare essentials?...Should i use a vacuum cleaner?...if anyone can help,please do.Im really desperate and worried here.I really love my phone...and please do not ask me why i did this effing mistake...im still hating myself more than ever in my life for leaving my HD2 in my jeans.tks alot for your time and i look forward to your suggestions.tks again.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
PS:Also, after i pulled my phone out,there didnt seem to be any patches or bubbles of water under the screen.Does that mean the whole screen is flooded or no water went inside?...And i do see water inside the camera.So is the camera dead forever?tks
[HD2 General] pirlano:
try to put for 24h into an ermetic box (closed), with salt in lower part and rice on the upper part (1/4 salt, 1/4 rice, phone, 1/4 empty) and close the box

this method can remove the major part of umidity

you can try for 3/4 days replacing salt and rice every day and cleaning the ermetic box

you can try too with a little oven for 10/15/20 minutes (max 60° Celsius and without battery of course) but i think that salt and rice is a better method

of course if you're able to open the HD2 (i done it 2 times and it's not so easy), you can use an alcoholic solution to clean chips and remove oxide (i use a Flux NO CLEAN)

DO NOT POWER ON PHONE UNTIL IT'S NOT FULLY DRY ;)
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Update

Hi,

my phone seems dry now(after 2 days of drying).I have not disassembled it completely though. The LCM module doesnt show any signs of corrosion,A few contacts and wires look okay.Not sure of the condition inside the module. Before waiting it out for another day or two, can i ask if i can use denatured alcohol to flush out any impurities or residue left by the laundry soap? Will it do any good or will it do any harm? cus im worried the alcohol might wet the phone again,now that it is dry,or maybe spoil some components. Also,may i ask if any data loss on the ROM or any damage to the cpu is likely?Tks alot.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I dropped a old cell phone in water and this was the guide i used to bring it back to life...well most of that guide anyway as well as a few other notes I picked up.

1st.) you should never try and turn the phone on intill it has had time to dry, (48 hours min)

2nd.) take apart as carefully and best you can..so that you uncover as much of the phone as you can

3rd.) dont lay the phone flat. stand it inside a cup and pour rice over it till it covers it.

I had to let my phone sit for almost a week and tried it after two days and every day after that. On the third day it turned on but still acted really odd, with each day it acted better and better. finally after six days it was back to its old self.

Please also know to

not

use a heat source like an over, microwave or hair dryer. If you do use a hair dryer

ONLY

use the "cool" setting. Hot air can make it more difficult for you to get it back on its feet. You can use rubbing alcohol to try and clean up any residue left behind by the laundry soap. I've seen sites say to submerge your phone in alcohol but i would suggest to use a q-tip and wipe the inside clean as best as you can. Make sure you do this well, the alcohol will not harm the phone farther but its the minerals or other deposits from the detergent that will.

If its available

, you should use an alcohol concentration of 95% rather than rubbing alcohol that usually contains only 70%.

I hope this helps you as it helped me. I was lost when it happened and didn't know what to do. I pieced together this method from different instructions found online and it worked for me perfect. If all else fails you can call t-mobile and do whats called an out of warranty exchange. Each phone will have a different out of warranty exchange price but I had to do this once with a old phone I had and at the time it was only $100 for that model phone (htc mt3gs). It could be much more, like i said it all depends on the phone.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
thanks alot for the detailed post.I will definitely follow all the instructions in the above posts.I have already done most of them.I just have to clean my phone with the alcohol. Regarding the warranty exchange, there are many problems.Firstly,im not using T-Mobile,im actually in Singapore and my operator did provide a 1 year warranty,but sadly the warranty expired 2 months ago.Moreover,all the 3 water indicators and blazing red,and while unscrewing the modules,the 'warranty void' sticker was also torn through...so yep,im left with myself and the help of the wonderful members here.tks alot for your help so far.ill report back in 2 days time,when i power up my phone.:)
[HD2 General] htccraze:
The phone that I sent back was the phone that had water damage. Four months after I took mine for a swim my charger port broke. I told them that the phone works fine but it does have water damage. I'm not sure why they didn't charge me the $100 they said because my water damage indicators showed bright pink also, still I was glad they didn't. Since your not through t-mobile that wouldn't work for you though.

If this comes to this, fingers crossed it don't but I have seen some with water damage sell on eBay around $90-$125. You might be able to sell it and then put an additional $30 to it to buy one that's in good working order, after all I bought mine on there for $120.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
alright dude...but you mean your HD2 went for a swim? So did it work after that or was the broken charger port the only damage?...and regarding the eBay sales,i dont mind if i can get a good price,but i also need to buy another used HD2(preferably an unlocked T-Mobile one)..but lets just hope i dont go there...i want my phone to come back to life and wreck havoc on the iPhones and LGs like before:D
[HD2 General] htccraze:
Yea after I did the above mentioned steps it work just fine. Then after a few months the charger port stopped working. It getting wet didn't have anything to do with the charger port malfunctioning.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Wow...thats reassuring news.tks
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Update

Hi,

i am very pleased to say that my HTC HD2 is back alive and kicking. I followed all the useful steps provided by the very helpful members here and its working well. A few niggles of course, include a few patches of slight texture variation at the top of the screen if tilted about 150 degrees,but it is very hard to see otherwise,so no worries. Secondly, the mic is dead since no one can hear me on the other side. Other than everything is perfectly fine!...didnt expect such a recovery after that washing machine incident. So, thanks alot for your help and also thanks alot to HTC for making a good phone!..now,a small question.any ideas on where i can buy the mic module separately? tks alot:)
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I would look on ebay. There is also several repair shops you might have some luck contacting. Here in the US there is a company call cellphone CPR or something along those lines that could probably help find and install the mic for you.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
That's the thing.here in Singapore,most of the repair shops fear to dissassemble the phone and repair the components.those shops that do are not well established,so I wouldn't really trust them on my phone.my best bet is to send it to HTC,but I need to order the warranty and water indicator stickers from eBay,else they wont repair it.and I've checked eBay,they don't sell the Mic on its own.I suspect its a whole module by itself,but I don't mind soldering a new Michael myself.just can't find one.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
It's a difficult job as the microphone is assembled to the main board found at the base of the unit.

This entire mainboard would have to be replaced and it houses the Qualcomm CPU and other items.

If you do dissemble there is a rubber black protector on it. Try removing it and cleaning it. Perhaps some dirt or something got in there and has blocked the microphone function.

Good luck...

:)
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
if theres some dirt, theres gotta be at least some sort of noise audible to the person on the other side...i suspect the whole mic to be broken.anyway, cant expect all to be well after a ride through the washing machine haha:o...ill ring HTC and ask for the repair cost.doubt it would be anywhere near affordable though...
[HD2 General] Sneakyghost:
Well, i'm following this with great interest. I am very happy to hear how good the recovery went.

Kawshigan, please update the thread once you know what htc said. I'd be interested to hear too.

Thanks
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I had ordered the HTC water damage stickers and the little void stickers for the screws on the back off ebay.

I know its not ethical but i just couldn't afford what HTC wanted to repair the phone ($185) so i got it back and

sent it to T-mobile instead. HTC told me if they find water damage on the motherboard that it voids the warranty

as well as if the stickers are red/pink. I don't know what they can trace on the motherboard or if T-Mobile is the

same but i didnt have a problem returning it to them. I was never charged the $100 T-Mobile said it would

be for a out of warranty exhange either.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
It's not a module, it's just the mic itself, but you need some skills to desolder and solder it back on motherboard.

If you have no other solution, PM me your adress and I'll send you one.

The HD2 has it along with the G1 and Nexus..... non of the above are tablets....
