[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
The rice trick should have done it, I recommend it often, but I fear you may now have damaged the phone by not leaving it long enough and subsequently putting it on charge.

Also note, most phones have water damage litmus indicators in now so your warranty is screwed too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrellaris:
Depends really, you can insure a phone at most stores these days and they will replace it regardless if you do. If your household insurance is all risk, this will cover your phone as well. (note both options costs extra money a month)

But if he does not have any of that he is indeed screwed.

Also, when dropping a phone in the water remove the battery and let it dry for at least 1 week. prefered 2 weeks. Do it in dry rice or with those moist absorbing packs you find in shoes and **** these days.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
It's very possible only your battery is dead, considering the phone switched on fine and it's only the charging that doesn't work. Buy a cheap battery off ebay and try it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelseafan:
I think you might be right, If the phone would have been a goner it wouldn't have started at first.But i just cant find the water damage indicators on battery or phone,just to check if i can get it repaired through warranty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelseafan:
Well i guess ur right.Its not the first time my phone got water damaged.In past my HD2 actually sat in water for much much long time but then i kept the phone near heating for 4-5 days and it worked perfectly well.

Do you know where are the water damage indicators on GS2 ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I'm just speculating about the indicators on the sgs ii, it's common practice for other manufacturers to use them, often in plain sight. The gs ii, may not have any but if it does they're probably inaccessible inside.

Best bet is to examine some tear down photography. Maybe ifixit has one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Uncooked rice is inefficient. Not sure why people use that when they can use either silica gel or desiccant, both of which come when you buy certain dry foodstuff or PC cases/computer parts/cameras (or you can buy it from the camera store). Is it worth saving a few dollars and risk the water being in your phone for that much longer?

Hello everybody...

I'm almost in the same situation as chelseafan...

GS2 dropped in the water, switched off, tried to dry it with my hairdryer, then successfully switched on. Everything seemed to work just fine, but then it suddenly died and I couldn't turn it on again. :mad:

I probably didn't wait enough to let it dry (a couple of hours) and now it's in a box with rice and silica.

I couldn't find any water detector sticker or similar, is there any feedback for this kind of sensors on the GS2? I was just trying to understand if I can get it repaired in warranty or not...

Thanks to everybody!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
Speaking from experience, rice works, but overnight is not enough, should have left it longer, next mistake is powering it on and charging it, water and electricity do not mix, that may be the stick that broke the camels back, but I hope not in your case.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rednose5:
As I see it in the pictures there are two Water Indicator stickers in the phone.

1. In de corner of the battery compartment, down to the right

2. In de back housing, not the battery cover, between the small camera window and the speaker opening.

You can see them in the pictures 1 and 2 of Step 4.

Apparently Samsung uses white stickers with blue/purple crosses on it. They are about 3 by 3mm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praefectum:
I've been lucky! After 3 days turned off and closed in a box with plenty of rice and silica, my GS2 is back and working perfectly! No issue detected so far!

So, a little list of suggestions after my bad experience:

1- GS2 is NOT waterproof ;)

2- the fastest you take it out from water the best chances to have it working again you have

3- take out the battery as fast as you can and don't turn it on

4- silica and rice worked just fine for me, but be patient, you will need at least 3-4 days

5- be perseverant: after one day of treatement I couldn't switch on my GS2, but atter 3 days everything was ok!

Hope this will help others!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattP79:
Thirsty GS2

praefectum in this thread is giving me hope. I woke up late Friday morning - my alarm had not gone off and it was no wonder, my beloved GS2 was sitting 4cm deep in the glass of water on the floor next to my bed. Worst of all - the charge cable was still plugged in and turned on! I quickly removed the battery. For the day I put the phone on the dash of my van so it had about 6 hours of warm airflow. Against my better judgment in the evening I turned it on and it worked for about 30 minutes. It then turned off and last I tried it didn't work :*( I've stripped the back cover off and disconnected the PCB connectors to dry out further. The USB/microphone and home/return daughterboard PCBs show some corrosion and I've ordered replacements. I have IPA and Electrical Contact Cleaner to hand and will clean the main PCB accordingly. Has anyone else suffered similar damage? Will my phone live again? Only the bottom 3-4cm was submerged but I don't know how long for. I had hoped the main PCB had been unaffected but I can see water damage on the main PCB to just above where the home/return PCB plugs in. Any advice greatfully received as I can replace the PCBs but if the main PCA is gone then I know it's done for and I'm throwing away money.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spywhite:
There's some hope

The water damaged one that I purchased sounds similar in the damage department you're describing. You can see what I have gone through by going to http://www.youtube.com/mrspywhite and watching the videos on my resurrection progress with my water damaged Galaxy S2.

The USB PCB was the main problem for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattP79:
Cheers spywhite - they look very similar in terms of damage. I have ordered the USB PCA and the Home Button flex cable. From your experience I guess I should order the home button (which was working after the mishap) and the antenna / loudspeaker assembly. Amusing in a way - the two PCAs cost less than 12.79GBP (approx $20CAD) and the Home Button and Loudspeaker Assembly will cost 20.98GBP (approx $33.50). Still - significantly cheaper than a new phone!

The service manual has no guidance on replacing the home button so if you get around to that I'll be grateful for any guidance.

Have a look at the sdcard.

The most of the sdcards have a little number in a circle on it, and that´s the class of the sdcard.

So, if you can find a "10" in a circle on your card, it´s class ten.

if you have another number in a circle on it, then it´s not class 10 (:

Those results mean nothing, there are lots of things that can influenciate speed. Also, the cards' speed is tested on factory with a special machine, not a computer, so real world speeds are always a bit slower. If the card was a fake i think it would be getting far worst performance.

Test it on a desktop pc (rear ports) using a decent card reader.

It's true that the sd card interface of the X8 can have a limit below class 10, but remember that there are always factors that can limit the speed.. Partition type, allocation unit size, ROM, kernel.. But yeah, i won't be surprised if it had a limit of roughly 6MB/s..and it's not that bad :D

Great improvement than previous Sony 8G class 4 !

However I think the device don't reach SD Card available speed.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
A few days ago I tested a 32GB Samsung Class 10 in the X8.

I got similar Read/Write speeds, but the problem was that after copying around a few files they either became corrupted or the SD suddenly unmounted (and refused to mount again).

However, since the card wasn't meant for the X8 but my Galaxy S2 I formatted the card and put it into the S2 where it does work flawlessly and is ~2-3MB faster at read/writes.

Anyway, since I also got hold of a 32GB ADATA Class 4 (AData is some Chinese manufacturer I never heard of before) I tested that card as well. This one works in the X8 (GDX v022, Stock Kernel, no O/C) and runs at ~5.656 MB/s write and ~9.283 MB/s read. Not really a top-performer for a Class 4, but what to expect of a ~$50 (EDIT: ~EUR40) card.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shineworld:
Unfortunately the 16GB is the max memory size supported by our X8.

Other people had tried to run 32GB but all have notice about data corruptions...

Take care about use this memory size, all catched data corruption when is near to be > 32GB used.

Fortunately in a..z.n (I don't know if possible to write entire name) I've found monday a very cheap 16GB class 10 for only 19 Euro.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's not entirely correct. The SD size limitation is more like a artificial limitation of Android itself (the Linux Kernel and related drivers/filesystems don't have any size limitation imposed).

I know that SEMC wrote about "up to 16GB" in their tech specs of the W/X8 - though that relates to the 2.1.1 Stock ROM - Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs are [EDIT 2 (rephrase): Gingerbread can handle 32GB mSD, Froyo _should_ be able to deal with them as well, though not entirely sure about it] able to address 32GB correctly. (EDIT 1: In short - if you look at the tech specs of any phone that shipped with 2.1 by default you will read "up to 16GB" at the SD expansion specs).

On a second thought I should add that SDHC cards (and the mSD's we use in the Android phones are SDHC ones) are only specified for up to 32GB. Larger mSD (i.e. 64GB) are SDXC and not compatible to the SDHC standard. That's a limitation of the SD card reader and its controller chip.

Ok, I'm going to conduct that test ... will fill up the ADATA card above the 16GB "threshold" and report back how it went.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shineworld:
Uh... thank you very much for note !

I'm hoping to step up my X8 to more than 16GB.

When you have some good new PLEASE remember you to write here the results, with also the memory type used, so I can update my/our systems.

Have you a nice day !
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Alright, almost filled up the SD with a variety of MP4 video files (2.44GB free space left).

- Ran a md5sum on the sources on my computer and compared them past the md5sum of the files on the SD - perfect match.

- Since the files have a numbering ... opened random files above 16GB (since they've been copied in order they also got written in that order to the SD memory) and opened them in MX Player. They open perfectly fine, and randomly jumping through the files also works.

Screenshot of Settings -> Memory is attached to this post. Excuse the screenshot being in German - I've been messing around with CMParts and had the language set to German.
