Yeah, that was my last solution... In fact, it should do the work I guess, but if for example I want to go on Facebook when I'm on the bus, I'll have to enable it and the background data with it ... well, I'll give it a try and see if it's good for me! Thanks

Is it possible for me to connect my phone via usb cable to an external hd? And transfer files ?

I have a bunch of movies on my phone, id like to transfer them to a hd, and than connect the hd to my bluray player, so they are always at my disposal.
[HTC EVO 3D] ceyo14:
Not yet AFAIK.. what your looking for is called usb host. And you would need a cable too. We need support from a kernel as long as hardware supports it.. not sure if it does.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
I don't know what the hell a 3vo is, but I know my Evo 3D can't do it. I know Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to have USB device support, so maybe we'll see it when that comes around.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatguy11285:
Turn on everything( GPS, 4G radio and such) download a new rom and play music through the speaker

I'm hoping to overheat the phone enough to evaporate all the water haha

Well I'll see how it goes and ill report back soon
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
Stick a cut off qtip in the headphone jack (so rice doesn't get jammed in there) and throw it in a plastic sandwich bag filled up with rice, will work much better. Heat + water + electronic will just fog up the screen. Leave it in a bag of rice for a few days, battery out.

Seriously. I had water dripping from my MP3 player, and it's been working for a good year after that, because of rice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
That^

It worked for my key fob that got lost in the snow for 3 months.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatguy11285:
I've done that before but it wasn't exciting haha I thought I'd try this for some laughs but its actually working my cameras lenses that were foggy and aren't now and I keep catching some moisture in the housing
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Ahhhhhhh! No no no!

Take the battery out quick quick quick! If you have water damage the first thing you do is remove power to the device! Water isn't what damages an electronic device. In fact water itself in its purest form H2O isn't even an electrical conductor. Water conducts electricity when something is dissolved in it and the ions dissociate, allowing charge to be carried through the water. Therefore if there is a salt, or something, or in this case dust, it will be able to conduct electricity, which if two points of contact in the device are shorted it can be powerful enough to destroy it.

The rice thing can sometimes work, but if the device had a lot of water get inside it there will be water in all the nook and crannies, even inside the processor. If the physical damage is already done to one or many pieces of the electronics there may not be any fixing it.

However, there is always a possibility that the ionized water is shorting circuits and hasn't damaged anything yet. If the device is to the point where it will no longer turn on, or screen appears dead you have nothing to lose in trying to fix it. I have saved several devices in the scenario I just mentioned using a mild solvent. You need to find a tear down guide to disassemble it. When you have it taken apart you can soak each individual part in isopropyl alcohol. You need to use the purest isopropyl alcohol you can find, ideally 100% isopropyl alcohol so it doesn't contain ANY water. However if you can't find a place to get that quickly, locally, for low cost use 91% isopropyl alcohol from Walmart or any drug store. I have used that concentration to successfully cure two devices that wouldn't turn on after water damage.

Put the alcohol in a large enough container that the parts fit in, and completely submerge the parts, may even need to include the battery in the solution. Leave it there about ten minutes, occasionally swirling to get the alcohol deep inside everything, processor, etc. Then remove it from the alcohol and let it AIR dry. To be ultra safe let it air dry for twenty four hours. You can then reassemble the device and test.

Alcohol is very volatile in air, so it evaporates very quickly (specially if that air is heated). Water and alcohol are miscible, so it will remove the water from inside every part. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Just take your phone back to sprint and get another....Im going to assume you have insurance. Why take a chance that the phone could sustain some long term damage? Get a shiny brand new one and call it a day..:D:D:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Febby:
I would agree with that but he/she might not have $100 to drop around for a new insurance replacement phone. I have heard though of some repair centers replacing water damaged phones with a sprint ordered replacement as long as the phone works.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Sad Panda is 100% correct on the alcohol, so follow his directions! Alcohol has a high affinity for water and acts as a drying agent, drawing the water out of every corner and crevice.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
+1 sad panda to save the day :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
The only sensible thing to do would be to do what sad panda posted. What you're doing is just retarded.
[HTC EVO 3D] undefined13:
I agree. I've been doing this for years on laptops. It also works well off you spill coke or tea on it. It also helps to brush off the components with a toothbrush while soaking them in alcohol.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Bag of rice will work 99.9% of the time. Depends on how much water it got will depend on how long u need to leave it in there. If it still turns on overnight should work. Take battery off and seal it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatguy11285:
Hate to say it but it actually worked... No fog on the lenses, no foggy screen, capacitive buttons all work and respond, speakers sound just like they did before, I know it might just be dumb luck but it worked out and there's no visible signs of condensation I'm the phone so I'm a happy camper

I've done all the alcohol disassembling before but I only had a T6 instead of a T5 torx and I'm a broke college student so I didn't have rice so I tried my way and it worked! so continue with the bashing if you will

(Btw I have TEP but trying something new felt like a better thing to do than waste $100 on a 1.5 hboot replacement)
[HTC EVO 3D] amace04:
Dude, a bag of rice is like four dollars.

But your idea is possibly the worst thing you could do for a phone. ONLY reason it worked is because evidently the water didn't seep in enough to cause enough damage.

Running power through a wet phone is the easiest way to kill it. Don't count on it working again for you in the future, you're lucky as hell.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Wow! So happy for you that it worked, don't try it again though! Even for a broke college student a liter of alcohol is two bucks. There are lots of nice guys on here. Even I would have sent you my torx drivers for free to help you out!

Glad everything is a ok! Good job! Phew!
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
This is hilarious.
[HTC EVO 3D] eastside08:
If you have nothing to lose put the phone in bleach. it will bleach the water strip thing back white and leave the red lines. Let it dry then take it to sprint.

but only use this as a last resort. lol :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
To my knowledge this won't get the sticker back to white and still maintain the original red lines. Those stickers work just like litmus paper works, they react over the neutral range of the pH scale. Bleach should react with the red chromophores but I just don't see how it will turn from solid red to anything but solid white, or worse a solid pink.

Have you personally tried that? Also bleach is chlorine + water + uhhh, hypochlorite at equilibrium. Since that is the case, the dissociation of ions have the same property as water and salt, or water and dust as I described before, so as long as one understood you are making the water damage worse, you could do that....your electronic device would likely burn up when electricity was applied again.
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
Just throw it in the microwave. I'd set the microwave to "defrost" though, just to play it safe.

[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
The Alcohol Trick Definitely Works... I've used that method in the past!
[HTC EVO 3D] eastside08:
Tried it on my touch diamond and it worked. --Instead of putting the whole phone in bleach you can use an eye dropper to deposit the bleach
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Can this be used a phone that only lights up after 2 weeks of sitting there and still work? Talking about your earlier post. I have a HD2 that the LED's light up after water damage, but the phone doesn't start. Could it still have water in it after 2 weeks and this solution be a viable option for recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Out of curiousity of your detailed explanation what do u do for a living sad panda lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Haha, thanks for your interest in my background. Originally I began my education at Arizona state university, my studies were in biochemistry, with medicinal influence. I have quite a bit of education in physics, chemistry, and microbiology. I decided near completion that my original intentions of obtaining that degree and going on to medical school were not in my best interest, or my families. I no longer desired the almost certain future of spending another 4-6 years in medical school out of state without my family, I became extremely disenfranchised with the state of the AMA and the medical industry as a whole. So I decided to switch to my first love, which is computer programming.

So after all of that I began studying software engineering. I felt I could be very happy doing it the rest of my life, and it has been a hobby of mine for the last 15 years. I have broad knowledge and education in a lot of subjects, and I still enjoy learning about the physical sciences, as a knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology helps one understand more about the world in a micro and macro fashion. This post is an example of that, where you can apply knowledge of subjects quite different than technology into something very useful, and helpful to myself and others. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Cool deal sounds like you know quite a bit about a lil of everything. And no problem man. Was curious due to all the details like i said. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Thanks for your kind words that means a lot to me. I don't think I could honestly say I know a lot about everything, but I think I know a fair amount about a lot of different things. I have always had the opinion that I was jack of all trades, but master of none. I put a lot of value in a person that is well rounded, and always has a desire to continue educating themselves even informally. Therefore that is what I have tried to model myself like.

This community is great, the combined knowledge and zest for more knowledge and the advancement of the technology and freedom of information is extremely inspiring.
[HTC EVO 3D] bramgg:
That could be, but there are more then one of those little stickers and some are even hidden. So you would either have to disassemble the phone to bleach all of the stickers or just dump the whole phone including battery in bleach if you want to return it for insurance examination.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Yeah he is right. If you take a look at a tear down guide with pictures you can see what he is talking about. I spot one on the motherboard that you wouldn't see until you get most of the housing disassembled, and I only ventured down to image 4 or so. I have torn my evo apart but I have really bad memory, so I don't remember personally how many I encountered. Take a look for yourself though. There is an example of what he speaks of on the top right of the motherboard.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165986

Even using a dropper you would be destroying some circuitry, creating shorts and done erosion. If for some reason the insurance or warranty claim was denied or they charged you for the new phone they sent you after figuring out what you did, there would be nothing you could do.

Under my own reasoning and logic, if you have to completely tear apart the phone to bleach all the stickers you might as well continue the disassembly one step further and do the alcohol submersion, trying to save the device yourself.

Am I right?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
True or I think iv read u can buy those stickers online LOL. N just replace them yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
HBOOT 1.5! That's why.

I was seeing all of the extremely lowered prices for the Evo 3D lately and started wishing I had waited. But then I realized that us early adopters (and by early I mean those of us that got it before the stores could sell it) sometimes are better off. If I had waited I would have had to use HTC's method and they would know my phone was rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cireyay:
Hi all,

I have searched in the checkrom thread and here but failed to find anything to solve my problem.

i did a wipe before flashing to checkrom 2.0. after it finished installing. i loaded up kitchenpro n was prompted to update it. thereafter i selected restore user data & ticked the sms. but there wasnt anything restored. i checked my filesystem n the backup files were present.

so whats wrong?

Ok its now working. a possible reason is perhaps my phone now doesn't have a phone signal after I installed a font pack, circular battery theme & Swype 3.0 from kitchenpro. my Sim card is now not detected, so a new problem is created...going to check whats wrong.

I just restarted my phone and the signal came back. Not sure why it wasn't there the first time it rebooted after installing the add-ons. Weird but its working.

Just received my gtab today. Updated to 3.2

Seems there are a lot of people curious about it so I'm here to help, or try to at least.

Notes:

1. I do NOT have windows. Running on a 64gb ssd mac so I wont be able to be bootcamping. I may have access to a windows PC here and there but my response may be slow.

2. I am on Korean time, so please be patient if I do not respond quickly.

3. I am an android/tablet/rooting NOOB. You must explain some of your complicated requests thoroughly.

Quick question. Can I root this baby? I heard installing rooting somehow messes up the screen for recovery mode.

*Added picture of settings

*Added picture of apps (in case you wanted to see what the korean version has to offer)

Random things:

1. For those saying pen memo is slow/horrible on 3.1, it is still slow/horrible on 3.2. I tried sketchbook mobile and my galaxy s2 is way more responsive.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DeezNotes:
We need you to use ADB to copy out the /system folder. Don't worry, the /system folder won't have any of your personal information in it. You don't need root to do this. The instructions are above, but the command is slightly different on mac. Let us know if you need help doing it - there are plenty of us that are good with ADB that can help out.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Deleted member 3693611:
Hi guys

I'm coming to you guys because my wife finally gave me her OK to mod her p500. :-D so i'm am not new to this at all, I have a x10mini and a NEO both running on cm7.

So i just have a few questions just to see if i have understood how LG works. Just that you know this i a huge forum here and i haven't read everything because i dont have time to, so please have mercy for maybe some what noobish questions.

So i already got it rooted and custom recovery running. And did a nand backup.

So now i need to know a few things, which cm7 rom is the most stable and full featured? Since this is my wife's phone almost everything should work.

Is a custom kernel needed? Or can it go with stock.

And do you flash kernels separate with fastboot or is it part of the custom roms, i believe i saw a cm7 rom together with a kernel to be flashed with recovery. An if not which kernel would you guys suggest fitting to the cm7 rom.

I hope that that wasn't too many questions and someone would take the time to awnser them.

Thanks
