I have been fortunate to not have this happen to, but if I do I know what I'll do. Disassemble, rinse with isopropyl alcohol ( or contact cleaner if I have it on hand ), place in container of rice and place in oven ( lowest possible setting with door open ). The rice won't do a whole hell of a lot in this method to absorb water, but it will ensure even heating. Watched a fish finder get resurrected with this method.

I had it in the bathroom cause my friend texted me and I was on my way to wash my hands before eating. Set phone on counter. Washed hands. Reached for paper towels. Knocked phone off counter and into the pooper. D:

Thank goodness I wasn't actually using that bathroom. That would have sucked. I probably would have just flushed it. Lol
[Atrix 4G General] privatedoodle:
Me too!

I just did the same thing last night!

As it turns out, drinking, peeing, and kernel tinkering DO NOT mix.

I left mine in rice overnight and when I woke up this morning everything (almost) seems ok. 3 issues, though:

1. When the phone first came on, it felt a bit warmer than usual. This seems to have died down.

2. The second time I rebooted (but not the first), my widgets all failed to load. Put them back, they survived the next reboot.

3. This is the BIG one: at the moment, the phone isn't recognizing my external SD card. Pulled the card, rebooted a few times, put the card back in, etc. Can't get the phone to see the card. Unfortunately I'm at work and don't have either a microSD adapter or a spare card to try out.

Everything else seems fine.

Any suggestions on this one?

Anyone tried a dessicant like Damprid? http://www.damprid.com/ Every time i see someone suggest using rice I always think why the hell would you do that when you can use a dessicant? Makes sense to me, the stuff works wonders to dry out stuff. Use a tupperware container (airtight) put the dessicant at the bottom and put your phone in there on top of something or whatever should dry it right out. Oh, just buy the refill package, you dont need the jar thing they give you. 2c
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Because usually the rice is at arms reach and cheaper. And works. The stuff you mention is nice but i dont think aaaaaanybody plans on dropping it in the pooper.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Basically this.

Also, update! Phone has been in rice for 30 hours. Okay thats all. Haha

Now this far into the game I must know... since it has hit the Pooper, and been sitting in rice... WILL IT BLEND?
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
UPDATE!!!

After 72 hours, took the phone out of rice and put in battery+SIM and powered on.

Flawless victory!

Everything works perfectly, just called a friend, sent some texts, played Fruit Ninja THD, connected to USB to access memory card, took some pictures, video chatted, and now I can't think of anything else I need to check. Regardless, seems like everything is fine now. Oh and no dead pixels!
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Thats great. Dont wanna pee on your parade or anything, but dont be surprised if thing s start acting funny down the road. They may not pop up, or they might unnoticed but let us know either way every once in awhile. And you should get a wrist strap for your phone. Haha.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Yea that sucks man. Best bet is due rice for a day or two or silica beads. Then disassemble phone completely to clean all contacts with alcohol. If you down the phone will corrode for the next month till it fails. I work on electronics and see water damage all the time. So hard to fix once its been submerged unless fully cleaned asap.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Wait so your saying even after putting it in rice for 3 days and that its working fine now, that I need to disassemble my phone and clean with alcohol? Do you think it would be okay if I didn't? I need the phone this whole week.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Yes. Hes saying its very possible for your phone to corrode. Many people have problems soon after droppjng it in the drink. And everybody needs their phone. You needed it to entertain yourself while taking care of business. I highly recommend finding a spare and wiping it down like he says. And dude. You dropped it the toilet. Do you need it that bad? Lmao.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
So how exactly do I do this? Can I just drop my phone into alcohol and then put it back in the rice? lmao.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
ifixit.com has a teardown guide for the atrix. there's a part you gotta be careful, but the atrix is one of the easiest phones to teardown.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Lol that's a good one. I would read the tear down over and over till your comfortable tearing it down. If your still not comfortable don't worry and leave it alone. It could last forever or die in a month you never know. But with a full submerge I recommend cleaning it for longevity.
[Atrix 4G General] TimeTomorrow:
thats absolutely pointless to do for 3 hours. You are waiting for water to evaporate. It takes a lot longer.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
his process worked alright because the rice will absorb a lot of the standing water, and then the alcohol will displace the rest, and then evaporate a lot quicker. i personally would have still submerged it in rice longer, personally, but it still helped out in the whole process.
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
I have dealt with a lot of laptops and other gadgets getting dumped before, I would do a warranty exchange to be honest with you, you can stick that thing in rice all day long and never truly get all the water out because it has to drain, and unless you also have it in a dehumidified room as well (like an office with a "dry" option ac unit) you may still have water trapped. Even with what the rice can pull out of the air, there are going to be pockets.

Taking it apart would void the warranty unless its run out already.

What kind of inconsiderate jackass are you, put the seat down dammit hehehehe =)
[Atrix 4G General] dy80h:
I am sorry to hear that

put the phone under the sun or use the dry blower blow it

If you have absolute alcohol,you can put your phone into it.But you must notice that there must have no water in the alcohol or it will damage you phone.

I hope it can help you!
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I hope you werent implying using alcohol, like absolut vodka, to use. That type of alcohol defi.itely has water in it.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] Jnewell05:
Thing about water and cell phones is the hardness in the water. Conductivity of the water allows electricity to travel through it, and normally zaps the phone if u turn it on wet. Computer components are washed in water when they are made. But the hardness is removed from the water using ion resign bottles or similar technology. And then they r dried.

I've dropped my g1 in the toilet and instantly pulled battery and used the silica packets found in your shoes when you purchase them. Phone worked fine afterwards but after a few months corrosion destroyed my headset speaker, and then digitizer went out few months after that. Hope you have better luck then I did. I kind like the alchol idea though. Might clean those components off and prevent future damage. But I would disassemble the phone and use q-tips to clean it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Can anyone tell me what needs to be edited in the build.prop file to remove the sprint stuff from the phone. I'm using ES File Explorer and can edit the file with this just not sure what needs to be changed.

For instance this is what is there for the screen resolution under

#Following property will be referenced by Settings.

ro.product.display_resolution = 4.3 inch WVGA resolution

Just not sure if changing it to the proper size will do the trick or is there more?

Also see the 4 references to sprint under #Welly_Fang_12/30/2010

do I just delete sprint-us and put in verizon in the four lines of code?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Okay I installed a froyo backup to compare the build.prop files and tehy are quite different.

Under #Welly_Fang in froyo there are only two lines:

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310012

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Verizon

So I'm assuming this should be the same for the gingerbread build.prop though it has four lines of code referencing sprint-us not two.

Also there is no reference to screen resolution in the froyo build.prop file and when I checked settings its not listed under hardware either. So Im thinking of just changing this to 3.7 in gingerbreads build.prop and see what happens.

If any thing goes wrong I can always flash a backup.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Well when I got into the gingerbread build.prop again I noticed there were actually two #Wolly_Fang sections. One for Verizon and one for Sprint so I just deleted all the Sprint lines of code. Then under resoluton I just changed it to 3.7 and then rebooted without any problems and it says 3.7 under hardware now.

Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of Sprint in the Market app. I'm assuming that can be done by replacing the market in system apps folder, probably market updater and market provider too. I tried doing it by installing a copy of teh new market over it but that didn't work. Any one know?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostincredible:
What ROM are you on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
This is just rooted stock gingerbread not a custom ROM. I read that you could edit the build.prop file using just a file explorer in a thread for another phone. Now I'm trying to find how to get rid of Sprint from the market. Not sure where they put it. I could always load the kitchen back on to my laptop and buld a custom ROM again to try and get rid of it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I've noticed that Sprint doesn't show up in the old market just the new market. Just not sure where the market is getting this info from to know to display it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
sprint was just replaced by verizon in my market today so it must have been something on googles end as i didn't do anything to change it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy8zv:
As I know the total internal space on Nexus is 512Mb. Why I am always getting 196MB AVAILABLE SPACE (with or without APP2SD)? Where I lose 316Mb internal memories?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Well, if you wanted to delete android off your phone, you could have all of that space, but you wouldn't have much of a phone would you?

Android itself has to be stored somewhere, and it's not going to be on the sdcard.

As n1 users the internal memory is one thing that has always plagued us. ~200mb is not much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy8zv:
ok thanks for the answer but why on my Magic I am getting 188MG availble space exactly as its internal memory? where is the android on my Magic? Why I can increase that 188Mb by using A2SD?

On my Nexus is always 196MB availble space...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
They may have advertised the Magic as having XXXMB space to install apps, where the N1 was advertised as having 512MB of internal space. That internal space is divied up between your system (where android is installed), cache (where all temporary files are downloaded - like the apks for market apps before they get installed), and data (where all your apps are installed to and all your settings saved).

And you can't "increase" the space of the magic by using a2sd. What you can do is fake the phone into thinking that your sdext partition is internal memory, so that apps can be installed to it and thus frees up your actual internal storage for the data for those apps. The two most popular ways to do this are DarkTremor's a2sd and S2E. Both require partitioning your sdcard and both require you to have root access on your phone (S2E is advertised as CM7 only, although it may work on CM7-based ROMs).

If you use the built-in app2sd that comes with any Android version 2.2 and up will not utilize the sdext partition on the card. It will just store files on the sdcard in a protected folder. This isn't as thorough as the above methods, as you can't store any apps on the sdcard that contain widgets or tie into the system (like facebook).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dojec:
Hi, I would like to update my tablet using adb or fastboot. But after a week I'm still stuck.

I managed to install 'a' usb driver which can connect to the tablet. I installed sdk and I can start adb and fastboot.

However, it's necessary that the tablet shows up if you type adb devices or fastboot devices.

But in both cases the list stays empty, so it can't find my tablet.

However I used a oneclick procedure I found somewhere, and that managed to reboot my tablet. So there must be connection.

I also have red somewhere I should add a string in the usb ini file, but that didn't help. Using the toshiba usb drivers, that didn't help.

So now I'm out of ideas....

Anybody who knows how I can solve this issue?

Any constructive feedback is welcome.

The app "LTE Switch" is good. throw a shortcut on the homescreen and it takes you directly to the settings to turn it on/off
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kales002:
In my opinion this works good. it also gives you the choice for 1ex (cdma only) in those areas (like my work) where the phone is trying to access 3g but cant.

So you have the option to go 1ex, 3g or lte.

i was just wondering how some have a neo running 1,7 ghz?

and also how they did that?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] toni_R:
I don't really know how it works but you can do that with SetCPU. With this app you can change the speed of your processor but it can be a bit dangerous, I think at 1,7 Ghz you can damage the processor, it can resist higher speeds than 1 Ghz but don't push it to the limit or you'll screw it up!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Alejandrissimo:
You need an unlocked bootloader and DoomLord kernel

to be able to overclock with SetCPU

also if you have a locked Neo you can unlock the bootloader with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254416

You can overclock at 1.9GHz without warm !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Marcell96:
ok thank you very much!

i had my bootloaders unlocked but i relocked them,

i think i can just follow the same procedure to unlock them?

and when you have DooMKernel do you have automatically root?

and will that everything work on 2.3.3 and SE software 4.0.A....

thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] NeoJeo:
Yes that works for the latest stock rom (i've tested). For the root i don't know; i was already rooted when i flashed the kernel.

You don't loose any data ;)

For the bootloader i don't know, try to re-enter the 2 commands with the same unlocking key.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alexocean:
Wow,really up to 1.9 ghz without warm?

Is it possible to set an auto overclock only for gaming?

(i can't find the email so i will try just re-entering the IMEI number and see what happens)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] NeoJeo:
Yes all the data (internal memory) will be losed when unlocking bootloader. If you are rooted you will keep the root permissions :)

You can backup with Sony ericsson backup and restore (i think that's the best tool for no-rooted phones) or Titanium Backup.
