[LG Optimus 3D] Echts:
Sadly freezing of SOD (sleep of death) is a LG problem, a few of their units suffer from it and it seems to be a LG coding issue (maybe even down at driver level), some O2X and some O3D have the problem (or moe than others), even CM development for the O2X ran across it (dunno if they fixed it) a while back.

Without any real proof I think it's actually a radio issue, I've experienced it a few times, not often just 3-4 times since I got mine like two months ago and the only other thing that has shown any problems is the radio, bluetooth and WiFi specially.

Bluetooth and WiFi can sometimes just refuse to activate without a reboot and 2 times I know specifically that bluetooth tried to activate before, couldn't and after that SOD, when BT and WiFi is working then no SOD and no problems.

But that's just my own observations, as I said no real proof.
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear TheFirlen,

Almost same problem here... I realized that my usb port gets hot if i leave it on charge and even cant handle usb mass storage mode. If i unmount my 32gb sdcard and leave it for a while to cool down the usb slot. After that my lg can be recognized by my compu but around 10 mins later i lost usb connection. So i guess u may have the same issue. Without my sdcard i can charge the phone %100 but still unstable because i may get SODs during daily usage and this is annoying. I am thinking to wait GB update and if the problem is still there i will send it to RMA. Hope this helps...

Kind Regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Hmm,

Well, it might be a problem with the apps. Always worth a try.

My phone would freeze before too until I found out the problem was related to a few apps. After uninstalling them, there was no problem anymore.

-Advenced Task Killer

do you use its autokill feature and are you making sure that the apps that you attempt to kill won't affect the system? Truthfully, task killers arn't really needed except for closing or restarting that one app that is malfunctioning. If you only use it that way, it shouldn't be this apps problem.

- HTC_IME mod

- Keyboard Calibration for HTC_IME mod

I don't know about these two apps and did not find them on the market. These might be a reason too.

-Root Uninstaller

This might be a possible reason too if you use it to uninstall certain system apps.

For me, the problem was usually related to apps. First time was because I used tasker to set a profile of taking a picture whenever screen turned on. Apparently, it would work sometimes, but when it doesn't work...that's when phone freezes and I'm unable to unlock. Removing that task solved the problem.

A second time was from Automatic Task Killer, where it was set to close a few apps whenever screen turned on. Uninstalling that fixed the problem.

Now, I haven't experienced any freezing for the past few weeks.

However, it might be that Echts is right and your suffering from an issue that is not apps related. You could always try a hard reset or exchange it for a new one.
[LG Optimus 3D] TheFirlen:
PROTOCHIP - I had the same problem with USB as you, but I solved it. I bought compressed air and injected to usb in phone - it worked for me.

DevJackey - Only Advanced Task killer can be a reason, cuz:

- With root uninstaller I didn't uninstalled anything

- HTC_IME mod is keyboard - stable

I will check it later - now playing Dead Island :D
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear TheFirlen,

So have you cleaned the usb port with the air compressor? Let me try it since i dont want to send phone to the service... Living without 3D sucks these days ;) Thanks for the advise...

Kind regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Or if you want to get rid of the hassle with cables...

download an app like Samba File-Sharing set up a username and password.

Then connect to wifi and you'll find the device under your Network. Make it a network drive like I did and you'll be able to press it to view all folders and files on your sdcard and external sdcard.

Exactly the same as if you had plugged in a cable and mounted it. Except with this, you have the added benefits of not using a cable and only using WiFi and the benefit of not having your sdcard mounted the entire time.
[LG Optimus 3D] TheFirlen:
I don't need that, cuz USB Mode is fully working for me

From this yesterday post I haven't any freeze. I have done some settings in ATK (Advanced Task Killer). Apps&Processes, which ATK is NOT killing now:

- weather

- Market

- com.lge.omadmclient

- PowerAMP

No freeze, no lag :) btw I dunno what is com.lge.omadmclient process...

//EDIT:

Btw Software Data Cable is IMHO better than Samba File Sharing ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Actually... I was suggesting it to PROTOCHIP because he was still having the USB problems.

I took a look at the app you recommended. Tried it out, but can't tell how it is better. Transfers appear to be slower and you must choose to start the service and stop.

I went back to using Samba because I like how you could choose to set it as a network device and it'll always be ready for file transfers as soon as phone is connected to WiFi
[LG Optimus 3D] TheFirlen:
Maybe yes - but it was just my opinion :)
[LG Optimus 3D] kriptikchicken:
Mine freezes up to 4 times a day whether connected via USB or not. It has only started doing this since the new update. It NEVER froze the 4+ months earlier. I stopped all the running appz and watched the running appz screen. When I sent it a text the messaged appz started up, but so did 2 games in the background!

When it is connected to the PC. The PC still beeps when you disconnect it.

Do I miss something? when I enter a new appointment I can not select which calendar to use. Is there an option somewhere to enable thiis?

TIA
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
settings-accounts and sync-google-calendars

I assume you are looking for your google calendar?
[HTC Sensation] snah65:
I have calwidget on my phone, is it posible to get this at my lockscreen so i don't have to unlock my phone?
[HTC Sensation] emay:
Yes, I am syncing my google calendars, but I cannot pick one when i enter an appointment.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Took me a while to find it too, but its so bloody obvious. The very very top box, which has calendar name and your email address, just click on it. You can't change it on the phone calendar once its set.
[HTC Sensation] emay:
Bloody obvious indeed!

Thx!
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Knocked it off the counter while washing my hands.

What do I do? I'm freaking out right now, I picked it up as soon as it fell in so it wasn't in the water for more than a couple seconds.

The water marker thingy turned red and I shook the phone and I can hear water inside of it. I dried it out the best I could and pulled the battery immediately.

Basically without this phone, I'm dead.

Please help!
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
Put it in a vat of rice for a long time (maybe even a week) DO IT NOWWW.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
placing it in the rice is a good idea, it absorbs water pretty well.

could also try to take it apart piece by piece and absorb the water with cotton swabs.
[Atrix 4G General] spitefulcheerio:
+1 on rice! and dont try to turn it on! Saved my iphone once
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
I put it in a tupperware filled with rice and closed the lid. Does that work? A whole week?! I need my phone for this weekend. =/

EDIT: Do I submerge my phone in the rice or just let it chill on top?
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
Submerge towards the middle of the container.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
the whole phone in the middle of the rice.

if you need your phone sooner, take it apart piece by piece. use cotton swabs to absorb the water, and isopropyl alcohol to clean up any contacts after you finish drying it out

use the ifixit guide found here: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/1
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
And if rice gets into the little ports? No big deal? Thank God I'm Asian and I have so much rice sitting around the house its not even funny.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
Some say 24 hours will do it - make sure you have the cover off, the battery out, and the SIM out. It's really your call.
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
Lmao...

Nice
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
I guess I'll leave it in for 48 hours. Should I put it in the sunlight?

Also, how bad is it that I could hear water inside the phone when I shook it? At least I wasn't using the bathroom..that would have been awful. I think I would've just trashed it if that was the case haha.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Another question, should I attempt to take my phone apart?
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
only if you're comfortable with taking electronics apart. the trickiest part is to get the screen out without trashing your digitizer. if i dropped my phone in water, i would do the rice trick and then take it apart afterwards to make sure every bit of water is out of there.
[Atrix 4G General] UnCommonGrafx:
as long as you don't try to run a current through it, i.e., turn it on, all things you can do will help.

Many have said, "Take it apart." Your phone, your risk, your call.

That said, I sure would!
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Okay well I just realized I don't own a T5 Torx ScrewDriver. I think I'll probably just let it sit. How long do you guys recommend? Is 48 hours enough or should I wait longer? And should I leave it outside in the sunlight? Omg I'm still freaking out, so much of my life is on that thing. D:

EDIT: Also, what do I do with the battery that I took out and the sim card? The battery wasn't too wet but the sim card had some water on it that I dried off.
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
I'd keep those in the rice as well, just to be safe.
[Atrix 4G General] cua0:
the battery and sim card are solid state components, simply drying them off should do fine.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
So how long do you recommend I keep it in rice and should I keep the container outside in the sunlight?
[Atrix 4G General] Random Canadian:
I would avoid sunlight ... I hear putting it in a jar of rice can help dry a phone out, i know a few people who have had that work for them...
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Oh I've already put it in a tupperware filled with rice. I was wondering if I should put the container with the phone in sunlight.
[Atrix 4G General] bamastang:
OP... I have Taken my atrix for a swim in a pool for at least 10 minutes and am currently using it today....

Here are the step I took. You can take and use what you want, but this is what I did, and the only thing not working on my phone is the front camera...

1. DO NOT TURN IT ON!! Took the battery, sim card and memory card out and patted try with towel

2. Put all of the above in a tupperware container of rice for at least 3 hours(not in sunlight).

3. After the phone had been in the rice for the 3 hours I gave it a bath with rubbing alcohol, completely submerged the phone and swished it around to get the rubbing alcohol everywhere the water could have got, as this will help evaperate the water.

4. I placed the phone an all parts on a paper towel and placed it next to a floor vent in my house. Not on top of the vent, as to not push water deeper inside or to cause condensation, but next to a vent.

5. Left my phone on the vent for 4 days.

6. The 5th day, I put the battery in and turned the phone on... There was "watermarks" under the digitizer, but my phone did come on and touch screen worked.

7. Powered down the phone and put my sim card and memory card in... Tried powering up the phone and it would not power back up.

8. Took the phone apart via the guide on ifixit(did not take the phone completely appart, just enough to lift up the motherboard, did not disconnect any cables.) and took a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and wiped all connectors that looked like they had a touch of corrosion... (let the phone sit apart for a few hours)

9. Let the phone sit 3 more days next to a vent after I put it back together.

10. Let the phone go overnight plugged into charger

11. Tried to turn the phone on.. and success.. powered up!

I did have the "watermarks" on the screen when it came back on.. looked like moisture between the digitizer and LCD... Probably should have let it dry out on its own for a few more days, but I just let the phone sit in a hot car for an hour or two at a time and the condensation/watermarks went away.

I have one bad pixel and a non-functioning front camera, and all three water indicators red, but my phone is up and running on πCrust v.07 OC'd, UV, and runs great!

Hope this helps.. Sorry for such a long post!
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Don't try to turn it on, take the battery out and put it in a bag of rice for a week or two. I think you're fine because I had an iPod touch go through the washer and I put it in a back of rice and placed it outside...two weeks later (I don't even think you need it to be that long, I probably could have taken it out even earleir..) I plugged it into the dock and it came right up with no problems.

Plus an iPod is all sealed up, so the Atrix has a way better chance of surviving anyways...I think it'l work fine.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Well I don't have the tools to take my phone apart and I'm not so sure about the whole rubbing alcohol thing, do you think it would be okay if I just left it in rice+sunlight for 48 hours or so?
[Atrix 4G General] dreadlord369:
Don't worry rubbing alcohol is a great cool for getting rid of moisture. It evaporates very quickly. I use it to clean my computer components all the time. But if I were you, I would try and leave the phone in rice for as long as you possibly can, the longer the better. But yea I would try and clean everything with rubbing alcohol as mentioned above. When my friends droid x fell in a pool, he dropped it in a little bottle of rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate overnight and then he let it sit in rice for 48 hours. After that, he turned it on, it powered up fine, there were water spots under the screen, the phone wouldn't make or receive calls but it could receive and send texts fine and get data fine. The only issues really were the small water spots and the inability to make calls, everything else worked fine.
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
before i had adriod i dropped my bb9700 in the toilet pulled it out and did that rice trick it worked like a charm. Good luck and i hope your atrix isnt ruined.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
easy solution would've been to flush first that way you didn't stick your hand in as much water. :D
[Atrix 4G General] J-man67:
I dropped my iPhone in the toilet. I was drinking and dropped it while taking a PP. I finished the PP, flushed, then grabbed the phone. I then rinsed it off under the facet. I then put it in a bowl of rubbing alcohol for a few moments. Took it out and shook the remaining R alcohol out. I then got my g/f blowdryer and set it up on the counter to shoot hot air at my phone. Left it there for 15 mins, then powered the phone on. Worked perfectly fine.
[Atrix 4G General] ChaosDimension:
I dropped my wavebird in the toilet(don't ask). Not fun but it wasn't a 600 dollar device.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Crazy videogame moment?

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Not sure if serious. Lmaoooo. Thats a funny story though xD you PP all over your iPhone? Btw I thought you said you let your girlfriend blow your phone, I was like thats not what they are supposed to blow..then I realized you just used her hairdryer.
[Atrix 4G General] projekt1:
Op keep us posted.. Don't forget to let us know your method..
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Will do. Do you guys really think I should wash my phone with Rubbing Alcohol though? Does it not have any corrosive elements?
[Atrix 4G General] dreadlord369:
Nope its totally fine, trust me. If not, go to overclock.net and ask the same question. People there (including me) will tell you that rubbing alcohol is the cleaner of choice when it comes to electrical components (especially CPU's while washing off TIM) because of the fact that it evaporates so quickly. Just watch, put a dab of rubbing alcohol on a table and watch how quickly it evaporates. If it does any damage at all, it won't be there long enough to cause it.
[Atrix 4G General] Moonshield:
The best method is to put it in a drying agent (like rice) and to place it in a closed container and vacuum the air out of it (Labs has an equipment called desicator, which does just that). Once you take the air out the water vapor pressure is to low so the water inside your phone will vaporize, and absorbed in the drying agent (Rice or whatever you use, curcumine powder is good as well, but it will dye everything in strong yellow color). You should let it dry for at least 36-48 hours to be sure that all the water left your phone...
[Atrix 4G General] SkzBR:
Dont wait, open it and wash with isopropilic (dont know how to write) alcohol. My died, even with 1 week on rice, and all tips of community.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
So is the rubbing alcohol that I use on cuts and stuff okay?

Also how long do I keep it in alcohol and if I can't open up my phone cause I don't have proper tools then what should I do? Just submerge it in alcohol?
[Atrix 4G General] ac7brier:
You're thinking of Hydrogen Peroxide. You need Isopropyl alcohol.

Mobile Glowy Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
you don't use isopropyl alcohol on your cuts and stuff? c'mon. be a man.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
i think the question people aren't asking but should is...

was there anything ELSE in the toilet water? =P
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Yeah actually...theres some poop...and some pee pee...no big deal right?

LOL just kidding guys. I wasn't using the bathroom, I was just washing my hands. Thank God..
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
If you don't mind, could you link me to the kind of Isopropyl Alcohol that I should be using? I don't want to use something completely wrong and destroy all chances of using my toilet phone.
[Atrix 4G General] guiv1:
I dropped my phone a month ago in dirty dish water and I needed my phone 2 hours later... I putted my phone in my car on the defrost fan for an hour and it started up!!

I so f... lucky! :D
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
I seriously hope I get lucky too. I really don't feel like spending money in my savings to get a new phone.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
lmao. gettin' lucky. with the toilet water phone.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
My toilet water is clean thank you very much. Cleaner than the ice at McDonalds. Haha
[Atrix 4G General] jettrue:
My nexus one dropped into a clean toilet. 24 hours in a bag of rice and it was fine. People told me I didn't wait long enough, but it looked dry enough to me and all was fine.

But if I would do it again, I would do the alcohol. The alcohol will displace any water and evaporate quicker. Perhaps I'll buy a bottle of isopropyl to have on hand just in case. :)
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Hmm. Can I just used the Isopropyl alcohol sold at Walgreens? Or does it need to be a special kind?
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
that stuff will work perfectly.
[Atrix 4G General] xfinrodx:
Rubbing alcohol is not the best choice. It is called rubbing alcohol because it is meant to be kinder to your skin: It has oils and other additives to ease the harsh effects of pure alcohol on your skin.

You want isopropyl alcohol. 99% purity should be the minimum. The ~91% stuff

can

cause issues with the deposits it leaves. (never use rubbing alcohol for removing thermal paste on a CPU that you care about)

Sure, rubbing alcohol can work perhaps, but it doesn't completely evaporate. The alcohol portion will, but would you like 9% of the "filler" left in your phone, or would you prefer >=1% left? (FAR worse is the 70% garbage!! 30% non-alcohol content!)

Here's one:

http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/TECHSPRAY-1610-P-/20-2135

Here's another:

http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Alcohol-99%25-Isopropyl-Pint/dp/B001B5JT8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315531876&sr=8-1

If you go to your local Walgreens or maybe a hardware store you should be able to find 99% purity alcohol.

It still wouldn't be a bad idea to disassemble either, if you can convince yourself to buy a t5 torx wrench. A kit like this is great to have for many things, not just the Atrix:

http://www.amazon.com/SE-Deluxe-Driver-Storage-T5-T10/dp/B000ST3K3W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315532099&sr=8-1

Best of luck, I hope I've been helpful! Please do use high purity alcohol for all of your water dilution and circuit cleaning needs... :D
[Atrix 4G General] sdelliott31:
Im one for the rice a minimum for 24 hours. Now once my father in law put a phone in a oven for 30 minutes and that restarted the phone and it was in a swimming pool. Open the phone as much as you can even for the rice.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Wow thanks for such a detailed post! That was quite helpful! :]
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Thank him then.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
I did! I voided my warranty too, rooted, unlocked, CM7..yeah. Oh well. I don't think it covers water damage anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] ifn_ace:
My friends have the same problem, I told him to put it in the rice. And a few days later he said it's work.
[Atrix 4G General] nexxusty:
LOL. Very funny.

I would use something that absorbs water more efficiently. Like Vermiculite. $5 at any Garden Centre. Rice won't absorb water very well at all, it needs to be heated to absorb water well....
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
hair dryer (cool) or sit it on top of a fan.

Keep us updated! Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] dreadlord369:
Oh dam thats something I forgot, my local CVS's sell 99% alcohol (surprised me at first) but its very handy. But yea listen to this guy:D He knows what hes talking about!

[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
rice did not work for me with my girls og droid :(
[Atrix 4G General] TheSmokingAndroid:
My affix took a dip in some dirty drain water and was under water for about 30 seconds, took out the battery right away ...I was at work so all I could do was wait till I get home. All the while leaving my phone screen facing up so that none of the water touches the screen as it slowley drains out.

Once I got home I put the phone in a Tupperware container with rice ...submerged it in the rice with the screen still facing up with the battery in the rice beside it.

Did not cover the container...I couldn't help but think covering it up would keep the moisture that the rice is wicking away inside and not let it escape. I left it like that for exactly 48 hours because I need it for the weekend too.

After 48 I put the battery back in and now I'm running Cm7 and am typing this with it :)
[Atrix 4G General] m0n3y0n7r335:
Hahaha should I try the thing where you vacuum your phone? Also if I put my sim card into my backup phone and it doesn't recognize it..is that really bad? Like does that mean the water damage is bad enough to screw up my Atrix itself?
