Agree with could have been external heat source.

Disagree with agressive fluid (plastic is very resistiv against all kinds of fluids and no residues of fluid seen)

Disagree wirh battery explanation (would be bad if power plant generator gets warm, but your hair dryer stays cold)

Moto has the option to check if a GND and battery layer are one above the other in that area. Than a crack in the PCB could lead to such a damage. Just interresting that it finally stopped itself so soon.

[Xoom General] Brad003:
External heat source? It's always in my backpack when not in use... That doesn't make sense.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
From the pics, it looks like a short that generated enough heat to cause the surrounding plastic to malform. PCB also looks charred. I'm surprised the slot still works.

Doesn't look like a manufacturing defect from here. Foreign (conductive) contaminant is most likely culprit.
[Xoom General] Brad003:
The slot does not work...that's what brought my attention to it, trying to place a new ROM on the external card would just freeze in the copying process. How is a foreign contaminant even possible when the plastic little insert was on, keeping the bad stuff out?
[Xoom General] Chilli71:
@Brad: Just ment I could not exclude external heat source by the pictures. Did not mean that you left your soldering iron unattanted on the table :-) .

I would leave the root cause analysis up to Moto.

Although the PCB has no formal coating, the are no SMD parts or contacts in the burned area. So solder resist should give a basic protection against pollution from outside.

Chilli
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Since the SD card was in the slot at the time, it may well be the culprit. Suggest inspecting the card to see if the card's melted portion is extensive and includes the center of the card, or if it's only minor and at the periphery. If the first, the thermal issue likely starts at the card's. If the second, then the card's damage is likely collateral.

It's academic, at any rate. I'd be surprised if Moto would repair this under warranty, so be prepared for that likelihood. If not covered, the repair job would involve swapping out the mainboard, which may mean buying a new tab may be the more prudent option.
[Xoom General] Chilli71:
I would guess the card won't come out without dismantling the tab. And than warranty would be void. So we well not know the pattern of the cards damage.

I would assume one would need at least 5W for minutes to get this heat. I know it gets really academic, but I wonder if the cards bonding wires would support the needed current so long...

Hey dude sorry about the melt down but where did u get the Droid pissing on apple..

[Xoom General] Brad003:
The SD card was in but the top part of the card is the only thing melted. The SD card came out, sounds to me that Motorola should replace a device that is unable to manage standardizes equipment, ie: SD card.
[Xoom General] Chilli71:
Probayblity of internal SD card failure is higher than probability of wrong handling by Xoom. I would still send in the Xoom with the card and see what Moto says. But you can probably only hope for good will.

Was it the best quality SD card you could find, or the cheapest one, not even with a brand on it?
[Xoom General] sickopsycho:
I realize this thread is a little old- but I'm kinda curious as to how it turned out. Even though it was in your backpack and had a card inserted doesn't mean a paperclip, stray staple or similar couldn't have somehow got jammed in there. When I look at the pics, it didn't look like the sd card was the culprit and like you seemed to imply- it wasn't so messed up that you tried to copy files to it (the sd card) after the fact? Anyway- just curious what motorola did...:)
[Xoom General] luckie19:

[Off-topic] IP IHI II IL:
Someone started a thread in Photon general *****in about why Sprint was putting so much effort into the iCrap 4s, and before I could finish my reply, the thread was closed... I was proud of my reply, so I had to put it SOMEWHERE... LOL.

As I agree with everyone but the OP, this thread should not be here, I do wanna put my 2c in...

Sprint paid Apple a CRAP LOAD of cash to get the iPhone on their network, and for good reason. Sprint knows that their Android customers are savvy, and won't buy just any new phone. We pay attention to detail, where most iPhone owners are just looking for "the cool". We all know the iPhone is crap, hell the 4s is BARELY comparable to most Android phones ALREADY on the market, but they WILL sell a butt load, regardless. Combine that with unlimited data, and AT&T's crappy service, there WILL be a ton of people jumping the AT&T Titanic.

Business and marketing wise, it's GENIOUS for Sprint to push the iPhone more than any other phone, seeing as most current owners of it already think they have 4G capabilities, and call every Android device a Droid...

IPhone owners are brainwashed idiots who only care about their statuses amongst their friends and strangers opinions.

Big up, Sprint! Take all those idiots' cash, and speed up our LTE network!

Just my 2(maybe 4) cents...

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

[LG Thrill 4G] waxworkz:
hello fellas, finally got my lg thrill, coming over from an iphone 3gs. i was wondering thoughts on sms replacement app? i was suing bitesms with my iphone and it did everything i needed. any good suggestions for an android replacement app?
[LG Thrill 4G] taytay209:
Handsent is pretty cool. But I prefer the stock SMS app.
[LG Thrill 4G] waxworkz:
thanks i'll check it out
[LG Thrill 4G] Ronacarino:
I prefer the stock app too.. It's simple and the app look doesn't look so bad either lol
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
GoSms pro (its free, dont let the pro fool you). It can be setup to mimick the iphone ui (bubbles) or set up to mimick the stock sms ui (list). But my favorite feature is that it has an option to stay locked in memory so that it opens instantly when you need it. That feature to me is what seperates it from the rest of the sms apps out there.
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
I like GoSMS as well but am unfamiliar with that feature. I've just browsed through all the settings and didn't see it. Where's it and and whats it called?

EDIT: so I found an option that allows it to "run persistently" which is probably what your talking about. Mine's always been enabled and it still takes a second to launch every time I use it. I guess it would take longer if it was disabled. Having said that I used Handcent for a while and it was 10x faster, just uglier and didn't have an option to disable native SMS notifications so I was getting double notification even if I went and turned off notification in the native SMS app. I can handle a second delay when opening Go over the drawbacks of Handcent.
[LG Thrill 4G] waxworkz:
Ok looks like I have a few options to look at. Now to get my mind to want to keep the droid over the iPhone. I'm finding it a bit strange to get used to
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
I came from an iPhone as well. Give it a few days, or weeks. It takes a bit to get used to the Android but when you do there are things I wouldn't trade for the world.
[LG Thrill 4G] waxworkz:
Such as?

I just have gotten so used to the feel of my iPhone over the last 3 years. I'm thinking I'll give it a week or so as I have 30 to return it. Just seems clumsy the way things are set up. I don't have a dock for more than 4 apps, it doesn't open to an apps screen, I have to scroll for them. Finally figured out how to turn off the key pd vibrate thing. That was annoying me to death.
[LG Thrill 4G] taytay209:
You might want to give ADW launcher a try. It has a dock feature aswell as a page style app menu. Where you can slide the page of apps left to right. YouTube should have a demo of it in action. Its a very personalizable Launcher. You can even get a apple theme for it.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Thats one of the great things about android, you can make it look and function however you want. Youre not stuck with the the way the phone comes. I cant stand the stock lg launcher either but there are tons of replacements out there.

Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?
[HTC Sensation] verboten:
You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
[HTC Sensation] Pjay12:
There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it :-)
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
Have you tried checking/un-checking compatibility mode?
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
Smart. I wil ldo that now, I will get back to you with that if it works with a thanks.

Looking at the description, I don't think this will work... will know in 5 seconds......

And it............ did....... not work. Thanks for trying though.
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
lol dang, sorry man, no other ideas
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.
[HTC Sensation] MUNDO23:
Try magiclocker from the market its free
[HTC Sensation] Pjay12:
There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol

And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

[HTC Sensation] Mi|enko:
What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Widget Locker is what you're looking for

[T-Mobile LG G2x] duckjob:
Hey, I'm a long time lurker, but new member of XDA. I installed the eagles blood 2.2 gingerbread 2.3.5 from to a fresh stock 2.3.3 g2x. Ive got two big problems. Wifi calling does not work because it says i have an invalid sim, and when on mobile networks i have no data connectivity, and it does not display if i am on 2g 3g or 4g. I am able to make calls and receive sms. Any input would be appreciated. I searched and could not find anyone in similar circumstances. Everything worked prior to flashing the new rom. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Hey first off eb is the best rom out there. Good choice next I dont know why the wifi calling would not work when you installed did you wipe everything? The one that I always forget is to format/system. You should wipe cache then do the data reset then go advanced and wipe the dalvik then go to mounts and storage and format/system. Then you are good to go for install of new rom. So I would reinstall again.

As for Data issue you will not see 4g,2g the dev changed the icon to 'H' for 4g. See tmo's 4g network is really their 3g network with improved antenna technology and I think boosted power so you will never see 3g on a g2x it is either 4g or 2g if you have 4g it might only be running at 3g speeds depending on time of day and where you are. The H stands for hspa+ which is the name of the 4g network hspa is 3g EDGE is 2g and finally GSM. So you will see H or E Or G I think I have never gotten E Or G only H but I have heard thats the format. All roms that are not 2.3.3 have a issue with this so if you do a hard reboot it should fix it ( hold vol up+power while the phone is on it will reboot and data will be back. Also when you reinstall the rom try letting it sit for 10 minutes before you sign into google. let me know if this helps

Charlie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duckjob:
I did wipe everything, though i don't think in he exact order you said, would that make a difference? It was strange, at nt point would i get any sort of 2g 3g or h logo. Bars would light up, but like i said i could make calls but nothing data. And the wifi calling app would say invalid sim. I tried pulling the battery and sim and reinstalled a couple times with wiping.

Out of curiosity i wiped everything and installed the EB rom based on 2.3.3 and everything worked fine. Id really like to have the 2.3.5 based rom.

Ill try your suggestions and report back. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duckjob:
Followed your instructions and wiped everything in that specific order and now things seem to work. WIFI calling works for the most part, every now and then it will say invalid sim, but rebooting usually fixes it. Thanks again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carloz800:
I'm sorry if this question was asked before, ok heres the problem, I've been running a lot of roms for the Infuse 4G, Serendepity 7, Infused 2.2.3, MIUI, etc. Some how I can't send texts no more! I can recieve them, but when I reply it says message not sent, I resend, no go.. I have solid HSPA+ signal and data and calls work well, I try resetting my APNs but still no go for texts.. anyone have a solution? thanks!

I have a Sprint Evo 4g that is rooted and running cyanogenmod 7.

I had a 4gb sd card installed and was preforming a backup so i could install a new 16gb sd card. But in now the phone will not recognize any sd card installed, or mount inserted card and is also now showing up as a plugged in usb device.

And the phone will only boot to the os if it is plugged up to the computer. if its not plugged up it boot loops the evo logo.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton127:
I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II phone, and it is absolutely brilliant. Speeds are excellent - no lag. Screen is absolutely AMAZING. Camera is the best I've ever touched.

BUT, the thing that bugs me is the battery life. One of the selling points of the Galaxy S II to me was the "Amazing Battery Life" which has been praised. I have only owned this phone for two days (charged only one and a half times), but I have not seen this "excellent" battery life AT ALL.

Any tips or suggestions? I have read that the battery in this device "improves" after some time (a few charge cycles). Is this true?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmmaximus:
hey congratulations on your new samsung. I got mine when it first came out and had the same problems with batteries. My best suggestion is to familiarize yourself with custom roms and learn everything you need to know about flashing and rooting, and when you're ready look into installing a custom rom. Cognition v1.5.1 is a really good choice because of the fact that it removes a lot of the bloatware that automatically runs when you turn the phone on (which drains the battery quite a bit). Also some other ways of dealing with the battery life is to reduce the brightness as much as you can handle (the highest setting of brightness on any phone is never a good idea for battery life).

if you search around these forums you will probably find better help from people who know more about this stuff than me. However, as someone who went from never touching android in my life to learning it all with this phone I can say your best bet is to learn how to flash and mess around with the firmware. That coupled with basic battery tips will help a lot.

also one final thought. If you download battery calibrator from the market, charge your phone to 100% then take the plug out and run it, let it drain down to 0% then start the charge over that is the quickest way to fix the battery issues. (this would only need to be done once, or every time you flash a new firmware if you choose to pursue that).

hope I helped!
