Nope, I don't see that as stealing.... It just works like grooveshark on a desktop browser. You get what you want to listen only online, you don't own the mp3 or anything. Sadly, the mobile version of grooveshark doesn't give its users these privileges...

I think Pandora doesn't work in my country....

Oh nice!! I think I'll make do with this first until I find myself a better option.

Opening grooveshark in dolphin HD browser with desktop user agent option seems to work for me too... But yeah, the page is too big for easy viewing on a phone's screen...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sputnik378:
dude.. GS Anywhere costs $5 a month... Get over it and pay those devs. They kick ass and Grooveshark is the best program on the interwebs. So drink one less beer a month and have as much music as you could ever possibly handle.

GS radio is kinda lame, admittedly so.. However you can upload new music to GS and it automatically puts it in your music. So that's pretty damn cool. If you can't find it on GS then just put it there. I do this all the time with new music I find shortly after it is released.

Do u have tep insurance from Sprint?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Pull the battery and completely let it dry before trying to power up. You might get lucky and avoid any shorting, but the chances of that are slim. Also note there's probably a sensor on your battery that will indicate water damage, so people will know of possible water issues if you were to take it in to get serviced. Good luck.

Sent on the run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NeeceeBabe:
Yes I do :(... I'll just say I lost the phone if it doesn't power up.... If I tried to power it up before it completely dried... Does that mean my chances are even slimmer?!?

If you have tep from sprint i think youre covered. just have to pony up the deductible for accidental damage. not positive though

TEP is the regular 8bucks insurance correct? Lol... Just making sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yeah, now you have a $100 deductible to pay to get the phone replaced with a new one.

Yup. The only insurance sprint offers our phone. You good.

Okay.. Sighs.. I"ll keep u guys posted! :((
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You need to dry it out completely. Some people have recommended leaving it out in a dry place for about 3 days.

I would recommend getting some kind of desiccant like silica gel or molecular sieves (or rice if you don't have access to commercial desiccants) and sealing it in with the phone, say, in a plastic bag for at least 24 hours.

And yes, chances are very slim that it didn't short if you dropped in a pool and then tried to power it on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sirslipzalot:
Recently aced my screen and got it replaced through the insurance. Man, they are a ***** to work with, but I'm using my new ET4G with no complaints and it came faster than they anticipated so you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Put it in a zip lock bag and pour dry rice around it .... Let it sit 2 days get your replacement phone .... Tell them you lost it so you dont have to send it back and if it works you can use it to dev on try roms from other phones and such or send it to a dev to work on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanstrien:
My Evo went swimming with me once. I pulled the battery immediately. Then I let the phone and battery sit in ice for a day. After that I sat it in front of a fan for a day, but I probably should have given it two.

It worked, although after a few months I had trouble with some random reboots that I think were due to the swim.

Just make sure that you give it a few days before putting the battery back in or trying to power it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:

I dropped mine in the toilet, yep that's right toilet :-). I was lucky to have gotten the Best Buy BT insurance. They gave me a new phone without any problems. And the poster was right about the battery telling you there was water damage. The white sensor on the top of the battery turned pink.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Do NOT tell Sprint that it went swimming! The TEP specifically states it does not cover water damage, however it does cover loss... You know what to do. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Docarut:
You can tell them it went swimming-you are covered:

https://protection.sprint.com/?ECID=vanity:protection

Click on coverage tab and clearly states liquid damage is covered.

Wow, okay. My Sprint rep definitely told me liquid damage was not covered, but as you pointed out that's clearly different than what the website states... interesting. :confused:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
My daughter had the BB curve, it fell into the sink, TEP replaced it. Then a few months later it fell into a pool, I wasn't gonna shell out another 100 for a cheap BB so we tried the rice thing. I even took the phone completely apart, still no go. Then I used an upgrade and got her an optimus s and she lost the damn thing. Now she's rocking the katana dx I got off eBay for $8 shipped till she saves up dough for a iphone. I'm sure it wont see a drop of water or come up missing since it'll be her money paying for it this time. Cool story eh?

Rice is a neat trick to dry out wet electronics.

Better still: A long immersion in > 90% rubbing alcohol followed by sufficient drying time. The alcohol displaces the water and leaves behind no residue of consequence.

Caveats: Protective film covers (Zagg) don't fare well in an alcohol bath. And, sometimes streaks develop on multi-layer screens.

Nonetheless I used this method to revive my OG Evo after it took a full poo bath. The phone still works perfectly more than a year later.

First I've heard this.....can someone confirm or deny? If it quietly went up, I will be cancelling tomorrow. They already jacked up the monthly cost of it, took away yearly upgrade, downgraded to 14 day returns, made up a $10 dollar a month addon for a service that is nonexistent in my area, unleashed the icrap that has killed what was already a slow and frustrating 3g experience and lastly the whole reception issue on this phone.......I have always stayed with sprint for the last 14 years because of low plan pricing, 25% work discount and unlimited plans but all of these policy and fee changes are making me wonder if it is all worth it.....plus unlimited crap is still just crap no matter how big of a bow you put on it.

I only hope this insurance deductible increase not true....off to look it up now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
I was talking about cancelling the asurion TEP insurance. If its $150 deductible it just isn't worth having. But yes overall with all these things suddenly changing and the deterioration of service foe me lately definitely has me thinking of canceling and trying something new. While I agree that all other carrier options probably have their own nightmare issues, I am just getting frustrated with all the changes and feeling like if I don't have the iPhone, Sprint doesn't give two poops anymore about us.

Sorry.....frustrating day.....I think I just need a beer, lol. Thank God for Thursday night football starting back up, lol.

Vegetable oil is a non-conductive liquid ofc it survived. You can actually fill a fish tank full of vegetable oil and place your motherboard in it and power it on without ever needing a fan. Some overclockers use a vegetable oil system instead of a watercooled system.

I'm resurrecting a old thread instead of making a new one. My phone just took a bath. I tried to turn it on several times put it in rice for a bout 20 minutes(impatient) tried to boot back up it was a no go the led still works and stays a solid red.

Will I have to mess with TEP and pay a 150 deductible or can I just go into a repair site and pay 38 for a replacement?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
If you do that then sprint techs will see there is no water damage and they cannot fix your phone so TEP will cover you for a replacement

I have gotten into the habit of pulling apartment all phones to get rid of water.

By the way, if you get water in the phone, your stickers will say water damage. There is a guy on ebay Selling Samsung stickers. So change it before you take it in if you go that route.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Does this phone only have the water sticker on the battery? That's the only sticker i could find. I find that weird because they usually put it on both the batt n phone.. Also is changing the sticker easy?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
The inconsistent GPS on our phones had me looking for a solution. We had two choices, run stock-based roms to get lightning fast GPS, or run AOSP based roms and get spotty, work-when-I-feel-like-it GPS.

I wasn't content with running stock-based roms, so I tried all the following:

1) Fasterfix/bloater/gpsstatus - No go

2) Editing gps.conf to reflect my area in addition to utilizing supl.google.com and tmobile's supl server - No go

3) Adding in the SuplRootCert file to /system/etc and calling for it in gps.conf - No go

I was looking through one thread where the user Docmjldds mentioned that one difference between most modded roms and stock roms was the build.prop. Apparently the modified build.prop file doesn't "name" the correct phone, so the tmobile servers don't register them as one of their own. This translation may not be correct, but I figure that in layman's terms it'll fit.

Anyways, he suggested to do this:

1) Use root explorer or a similar program to access your /system

2) Modify build.prop within the file explorer, or copy it to somewhere where it'll be easier to modify

3)Paste the following lines into your build.prop under the Additional section at the end:

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-lge

ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=android-hms-tmobile-us

ro.com.google.clientidbase.gmm=android-lge

ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-lge

ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-tmobile-us

ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

Make sure you remove any duplicates from the old build.prop contents.

4) Save it, and make sure the permissions still match (looks like a mirrored 7 in the permissions boxes in root explorer)

5) Head on over to this thread and follow his directions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264427

I had a pretty heavily modified gps.conf, but for simplicity's sake I went with what the OP recommended (it's more streamlined than most custom gps.conf's you'll find)

Complete all that, ensure that permissions are correct, then restart your phone.

I tested both of these using maps and gps status. Maps would typically take well over a minute to lock with my phone on the window sill. Gps status would normally show 3/4 satellites after 1 min or so. After the two mods I posted up above, I get 5/5 or so locks from my window sill within 20 seconds. Mind you I have some roof overhanging my window sill so there's no direct line of sight going up.

Huge thanks to nrvnqsrxk and Docmjldds!

Edit - removed the last addition "ro.telephony.default_network=0" Apparently it was hosing the GPS for some. Thanks for all who chimed in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I'm going to try this now, but do watch this line you suggested we add:

ro.telephony.default_network=0

Right now line is commented out (with the same value, 0) in the most current CM7 build.prop with the comment: "# This appears to be causing "Unknown" network type"

I'm going to try it without that line first. I can't imagine it has anything to do with GPS anyway (just tells the phone whether to prefer GSM or WCDMA network).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
GPS seems to be working better after applying this fix, but it is still not 100%. Seem to have to enable Wi-Fi to get a good 20m lock, which is near instant now where before it would never occur. Without Wi-Fi on the GPS still never quite locks up any closer than 500-1100m.
