Hey guys,

I'm hooked on Jango, an online radio station. They have an app, but so far they don't have any caching features. Due to a data cap of 1 GB a month, I was wondering if there is anyway to cache the music overnight, via wifi, so I can listen to it the next day. Slacker has this feature, but it's within the app itself. I'm looking for something external.

Any ideas/workarounds?

Thanks

My daughter just my evo into the tub with her. It was cute, but now the phone doesn't work. Is rice still the best way to dry these out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarKEvo25:
well, i wont work 100% any longer , your best bet, since its happened to me a few times, (jumped in pool, and got caught in rain) take out battery, the camera is probably fogged up, and the speaker is ful of water, take off the speaker mesh, and with a q-tip dry it up as much as possible, air dry for a bit , with a hair blower., and be cautious to not over heat it...it can start to warp..... then leave in with a moisture absorbent medium, I had a whole lot of silica gel packs, so i stuck my phone in a plastic container with a whole lot of silica and a bit of rice as filler... did the trick.. overnight btw....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Also I hear that using distilled water to clean it before putting in the rice, to get rid of anything left behind. Might want to look that up before doing though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muellersirch:
distilled water or rubbing alcohol to clean up, then leave in rice for at least 24 hours, 48 wouldn't hurt a bit
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Earthshine0:
You can also vacuum it, as weird as it sounds, it actually sucks out the moisture quite well. Use distilled water when you're cleaning it, because distilled water doesn't conduct electricity (water with minerals does).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
This EXACT same thing happened with my last phone, daughter and all. I took out of tub submerged in distilled water then put in a ziplock with battery out for a few days. It worked 100% for me, although it wasn't an EVO. Can't guarantee that it would work for you.

Only your own kid can make chucking your EVO in a tub cute....and youll be able to joke with her about it when she's older.

Last night I zip locked it in a bag of rice. When I came downstairs this, I guess my wife wanted to see if it worked and the phone on. Even though it didn't dry out very long, it appears to working. Interested to see how long it lasts now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It probably wont work very long. The WORST thing you can do to a wet phone is try to turn it on to see if it works. If there is ANY water still in it, you just fried the board. People need to learn to just WAIT, at least 48 hours, for the phone to completely dry out. If you do this, you have a greater chance of the phone working perfectly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
yeah, my goal was 48 hours in the bag of rice. However, since my wife didn't believe that system would work, she eagerly tried it before i was downstairs this morning.

so far so good. battery is draining a little quicker than usual though.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartomar2002:
I waiting for my Gtab to be delivered, while waiting I have been reading about the different ROMs (though not every post). What are the camera problems and do all ROMs have problems with the camera. Has anyone tried all the different ones? Which is the most stable?Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
The main issue with the camera is that it's not all that good to begin with. It's only 1.3 megapixel. My wife's phone has an 8mp camera on it, lol.

It's actually BETTER than the iPad camera though.

other than that...Honeycomb roms, camera does not work at all. This is because the versions that were ported to the Gtab came from devices that do not have cameras.

All Froyo roms should have fully functional cameras, with no issues. I've never used a gingerbread rom, but I think that the camera is funtioning on them as well.

Basically, if this really poor quality camera is important to you, then you won't be able to use a Honeycomb rom.

Andida Battery it kills my beloved SGS2. Guys Please be careful and do not buy this battery

I was happy today when, I received Andida Battery. I took out my back cover and I installed the battery. I tried to turn on my phone but it did not start. So I taught that the battery must be empty, so I plugged my charger to charge the battery. But it failed to charge. I installed original Samsung battery back, but the phone did not start at all. I was so facking annoyed. I went to Samsung Service Center, I told them my phone suddenly stopped working, without mentioning the cause of damage. They checked the phone, it took them two hours, then the technician called me and he said that the

battery sensor indicator chip

is damaged in the

main-board

and need to be replaced. He said they will order the part from Korea and it will take around 2 weeks to arrival at least. I was happy that they will fix my phone under warranty.

Edited :- Real photo of the Andida Battery 2000mAh uploaded. I was so upset and not in mood to take a photo of Andida Battery I own. I google it fast and attached it on my post that why in the photo it stated 1450 mA and For Oppo a100.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maddada:

And the Chinese in one of the label stated the battery is insured, maybe U can claim them some money.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JFSG:
I really hope it doesn't spoil my phone though... I rooted it so chances are there's no warranty if I bring to the CSC. I don't really use the Andida battery often anyway. It simply serves as a backup. :D

[Galaxy S II Accessories] FuNKySoULyBrO:
Have been using this battery for awhile. No major issue with it. Just that while stating 2000mAH, it's not really performing better than the stock battery. Worse performing actually.

Avg after a day's use ( light usage ), the Andida's remained only abt 50%-60% juice, while the stock can still retain abt 80%.

Another quirk for Andida, after charging to 100%, when I pulled out from the charger, it'll occasionally drop to 97% immediately.

Well, can't expect it to be better since it's so cheap anyway. At least it didn't blew up on me lolz. Nevertheless, had been using the stock battery since it performed better. This Andida is just a backup for me now.

Btw, TS, just curious, did u pull out the thin film that covers the metallic contact points? I read that some pple forgot to remove this film, and they thought the battery is a lemon =p.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] coolmaxx:
Never ever get a Li-Ion battery from an unknown source. Especially if they are very cheap. Commonly they don't have the announced capacity (ink is cheap -- battery not). Consumer usually don't have the means to confirm the stated capacity.

But the worst thing is, that sloppy QC can lead to all sorts of problem -- just type 'exploded li ion battery' into google and look at the pictures.

This doesn't mean it has to be a battery from samsung only -- but from a reputable source.

You would have to start by using the HTC Unlock Bootloader process at http://htcdev.com.

Once you have HTC unlocked, then you can install ClockworkMod recovery and then flash and install the su_2.3.63.zip to root your ROM.

[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
@Chh, use HTC sync on your phone when you plug the usb cable to pc, run Revelutiinary.exe as administrator, it should work. If you're on Windows 7 you may need to reinstall the drivers and run in compatibility mode XP with service pack 2. I had a few hiccups while rooting two different Sensations and this method worked for me. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] tpbklake:
The latest OTA update for 2.3.4 has a new hboot version and Revolutionary does not work with this version because HTC has closed the previous root exploit. That is what the OP has been asking about all along.

The tool works with the latest hboot 1.18.0000, but as per my post above you may need to run the tool 2 or 3 times before it works. You will get an error about a comms error and to go get some lemonade. Just reboot phone and rerun the tool.

Rhiannon, wow you are right about the Windows 7 shoulld be run in XP comp mode. I made all the progress in the world even being asked to enter my beta key, however it was rejected (several times). So I will do a fresh download of "revolutionary.io" and unzip it do the XP comp & admin properties hopefully they (the people who make revolutionary.io) are doing some kind of timestamp checking because I entered without any errors the key. If that doesn't work don't know where to turn. Oh by the way I am using a TMO USA OTA 2.3.4 update and the phone has the TMO unlocked bootloader. Yes I installed the new HTCdriver files 3.x x x something, too and removed the HTC Sync.

Now what?

[HTC Sensation] Yildun28:
I'm a noob. I followed the guide and rooted a 2.3.4 phone with Revolutionary just like everyone else. No issues. Phone is running great.

One thing that wasn't clear to me however, was that you need to put the files on the SD card as a zip file. I was being a bit over helpful and extracting them first. Didn't work until I figured that out.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
@cch copy and paste the beta key, it's case sensitive, do this by copying the beta key then in the Revelutionary command window, at the top left hand corner right click and choose paste, the other steps I gave you were working so your entering the key wrong. That's the only thing it could be, it took me a Fe times to enter it correctly. Also, Revelutionary will boot into fastboot and it will loose communication, you will have to do it 3 times and then banjo, s off. I hope it works for you. These are they exact steps, it worked for me on two different phones, also the Revolutionary site confirms it is working on the t mouse 2.3.4 update, I had the same ROM as you.

Glad if i helped. Hit my thanks button. Thanks.
