Oh, haha, I'd never tried. Good to know! Well, like I said, they usually have more hidden inside, but if that's as wet as it got, they probably aren't even tripped. Regardless, I still think you'll be alright. It doesn't sound like it got too wet. The water probably didn't even get inside to the circuit boards.

Is it too late to tell u put it in the rice box? :-s
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Read the OP. He clearly states he put it in rice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Again with thhe food, first nutella then waffles then rice? smh... LOL.

i always get my infuse wet when i apply the screen protectors, wet application... water goes inside the edges, and the speaker grill atop. no issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Your phone should be off, so there would of course not be a problem! Lol

I've seen plenty of devices with water damage. You can always tell. the EM shields inside have rings where the water drops sat.. there's a bunch of ways to tell.

If I suspect water damage, I will always check for bleach with a bit of water on the end of a needle. it should turn the sticker red in that pinpoint.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
But the real question is did it blossom another core? Lol watered. Get it? Nevermind.

Log on to Gmail on your computer and go into your contacts.

Probably the easiest way.

You contacts should be linked to your google account, which you can access from your computer. http://www.google.com/contacts

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gitano:
Hi guys,

I'm new to the Android platform, I have a noobish question:

I use a couple of music/video streaming 3rd party apps while driving, anyone know if it's possible to have the Google Navigation mute the audio of the streaming app when it needs to give voice directions, and then unmute when the voice directions are done?

Right now, if I have both Navigation and audio streaming going at the same time, the Navigation directions are barely audible over the music that is playing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leftfieldhero:
My T-Bolt already does this. I'm just using Sense 2.1 over GB. I was using Pandora and it works great. I just tried it. Sorry if you're having a problem. It could be poor coding of the program but I think it strange that your phone would do that. So I think it's weird that your phone doesn't do this. You'd have to get the attention of a dev probably and they are going to want more information like what specific apps you are using. Is it all 3rd party apps or just one in particular. I'm willing to see if i can duplicate your results if you let me know what 3rd party app it is and I don't have to pay anything to help you fix your problem. Cause..well...I'm cheap.

Looking for a new battery cover. Any Idea where to get one?

i bent one of the pins a bit and now am actually a bit worried about water / dust / etc. getting in.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The prices will probably go down when the global shortage of devices (except in the UK) has been taken care of. Supply and demand, you know. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxey:
Hmm question is if its worth it right now to buy one. I mean 20 $.....

Battery Cover from the outside does not show any abnormality and i thought: if it "fits" in it should be pressed in the right position by the other pins and the shape of the notch.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
I find the back cover to be the biggest pain in the ass ever to remove and put back on... Anyone know what the correct procedure is to put the cover back on? The bottom looks like it requires some ..sliding... and the rest you need to push in with the cover bent, moving from the bottom and going upward one by one? >.> bleh

...The Droid 3 and Optimus V's covers werent this bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
I bent the bottom right pin (If you look from the back) now my case doesn't shut properly. I think I'll wait till the price goes down before I buy a replacement though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
the bottom right seems to be the hardest to get in. you have to get it in with bottom two tabs at the same time for everything to fall and snap into place. it can be a pain if you don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I agree the back cover is the only physical issue with the phone.

Make sure the bottom side is nicely in before snapping in the ones on top to avoid breaking the button hooks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
I got sick of the case sticking up at the back so tried to bend the bent pin back, and it worked perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
I had trouble getting the back on with

all

the pins in place. For me, the right side bottom pin would not go in.

Instead of forcing it, I discovered if I inserted the bottom 2 pins of the back, then starting pushing the side pins in from the bottom and working up, then they all went in without too much trouble. :p

Good Luck!

I'd like to see the future of phones to serve everyone's needs... whether it be used as a phone, a laptop/tablet, car stereo, GPS, home entertainment system, all in one device that could go with you anywhere and be docked on a compatible device for the user to control whatever it is connected to.

Maybe Google can come up with a few new patents for the next Nexus phone and work some deals with a few big companies to to have docking stations.

so the future may be create more and more useful apps

and how to lenghten the life of the phone
[General Topics] Ruudfood:
Why would any manufacturer want to lengthen the life of a phone? It doesn't make them any money for consumers to have a phone that lasts 3 years!
[General Topics] Jwsail:
....screen technology that works properly in the REAL world - I.e. outside where you get cold wet hands AND receive phone calls, or want to use apps !

Once that is standard then we can start to worry more about performance specs, at the moment you can have whatever processor you like it still won't work once you get wet fingers. Even the Defy's waterproofness only stops you from bricking it!

[General Topics] RoboDan918:
Weather resistance is a good one. I think it'd be hard to accomplish if you have any sort of output/input, though.

Maybe if it charges inductively, transfers files through wifi only, has a rubber-sealed SIM/battery/microSD compartment, and only allows bluetooth audio THEN it could work. Until then... don't drop your phone into a puddle.

Longevity of devices is an important issue, one of OS hardware requirements. They may be able to increase RAM to laptop-like levels (or at least have some user-upgradeable option like microSIMMs), but when it comes to CPUs they are coming out faster than OEM's can find something useful to do with them.

I personally can't wait for my quad-core 2.5GHz (3.0GHz overclocked) HTC Zeta with ICS and Sense 4.0 next year
[General Topics] Hunter_x2:
In my opinion, phones and tablets in the future should follow some standards:

1) CPU:

Phones: 1 core, at least 1GHz (low-mid end); 2 cores (high-end) (2 cores should be best for phones, not 4)

Tablets: 2 cores (low-mid end); 4 cores (high-end)

2) RAM: 512MB - 1GB (phones); 2GB (tablets)

3) GPU: Depends on the SoC.

4) Displays:

Phones: 3.5", 800x480 (low-end); 4", 1280x720 (mid-high end) (above 4" is unnecessary)

Tablets: 7", 1280x800; 10", 1920x1200.
[General Topics] RoboDan918:
@hunter

You're quoting last year's specs now. Recall that 1GHz hasn't been a big deal since the Nexus One.

As for quad core processing - they are more energy efficient per core than dual cores, so if you're thinking that quad core is unnecessary or unsuitable for phones due to battery life you'd be dead wrong.

Can anyone think of how phones at the end of 2012 will look? What about 2013?
[General Topics] Hunter_x2:
According to my knowledge, there are still a lot of low and mid-end phones that use 600MHz ARM11CPU, so a 1 GHz Cortex A8 CPU should be the base standard in the next year.

Also, how do you know that quad-core chips are more efficient than dual-core ones? Based on the Tegra 3?

Upgradability/expandability...

There are zif type sockets for ARM CPUs - give them to us, again, simm/dimm/??? let us upgrade ram... It's ridiculous that we're stuck with whatever the manufacturer gave us - which never seems to be the max for the hardware, just seems to be a price point thing... And then we're out of date within a year...

Everything you have on your phone, have on your tablet/ultrabook and htpc.

Hybrid tablet laptop. The screen is a single glass piece. It has a single screen that you can touch from both sides. When open the 'cover' is black and the screen closest to the keyboard is activated ready for you to look at etc. When it's closed what was the cover is now a touchscreen. You can hold and use it like a tablet.

With all these ultrabooks/macbook air's coming out they'll easily be able to get to the 10mm thickness mark. With Intel wanting to compete with ARM this could be a real possibility in terms having laptop like power in them not to mention Windows 8 supporting ARM devices as well.

i think phones have gone from an emergency connectivity devices to a way to call people on a go to a generall communication device with textings and voice calls to what amounts to a small computer. I think the next step is just a technological hub.

At some point EVERY that even remotely using a technology will be integrated with smartphones. IR Blasters for tv, fm radios, even smaller things like control for lights, HVAC, and even your garage door will be built into native smartphone software. People love simple one stop options.

I don't think any one will integrate a IR blaster into our phones but rather just WiFi into our TVs. I already have a amp that I can control with my phone so the technology is already there. Now we just have to wait for all new TVs , radios and even light switches (or maybe just centralized box)to come stock with WiFi.

It seems like phone cameras are quickly replacing point-and-shoot cameras, mostly due to always having your phone with you. I'd love to see a phone camera that actually shoots usable pictures at high ISOs, coupled with a really nice, wide aperture lens... something that actually works in low light without flash. This is probably dreaming considering size restrictions, but that's the point of the thread, right?

And then there's Lytro (you'll have to google it--can't post links yet). Light field photo recording that uses ray-tracing to refocus images after they're shot. Amazing. Imagine not having to wait for focusing! No shutter lag--just focus after the fact. (There is actually talk about this coming to a future iPhone. I'd love to see it in widespread use.)

Dude why do you think they are doing this? The multi core tech is allowing better battery, new screen types like pentile and samoled all use less battery. The less work a cpu has to do the less power it uses. Tegra 2 chips are confirmed to use less battery along with the pos that is pentile. Better technology that is more efficient with energy will help negate the current battery until one company can make a cost effective battery that is better then what we currently have or sacrifice some thinness for a bigger battery like the razr maxx adding in a 3300 mah batter that gives a talk time of 21hrs.

some of the predictions wont happen.

especially the phones been the only device some people have.

I noticed androids are very popular in developing countries as I suspect alot of people in those countries dont have desktop pc's maybe due to space, transport and security reasons.

Things you cant do on your smartphone or at least not as well as a desktop.

Store TBs of data.

Watch full length multimedia content. (watching a film on a 4 inch screen not for me thank you).

Play games, especially ones that are primarily mouse or gamepad, keyboard controlled.

Use optical removable media.

Use printers/scanners etc.

The wireless only I also disagree with as usb is not an obselete technology and any phone that has no usb connectivity at all will be a phone that is considered limited in functionality as then to use it with a pc/laptop will likely need something like a bluetooth dongle purchased for the pc/laptop.

Regarding battery tech I really hope that does advance, because in the past few years battery performance seems to have seriously regressed. I disagree with the comment regarding quality aftermarket batteries, instead most seem to be cheap kockoffs with labels that dont reflect their real capacity.

One thing really putting me off smartphones especially androids now is how fast the products go obselete. Samsung eg. seem to be expecting people to buy a new phone every year, whilst a desktop can last a decade.
[General Topics] DPMAce:
Quad core is really awesome, and I definitely want it in my next phone. But I wonder if I'll need it or use it that much. I don't really play games that much on my phone now (note), and it seems fast enough.

So it's not a good reason for me to upgrade. And for people complaining about battery life, have you guys thought about getting an extended battery. I bought the Hyperion extended battery, and it lasts me 18 - 20 hours. More than enough imo.
[General Topics] taktd:
I'd want to see battery technology improve before they start offering quad core pentaband etc. Or at least have the underlying hardware and software more efficient to offset the battery life on these devices.
[General Topics] Vap0ur:
I'm actually surprised that the hardware has progressed to quad core as fast as it has. Most of the dual core phones (and on my Desire HD), I can do as much as I need to, be it with gaming or watching movies / tv. I'd never say no to more processing power though, and it should come in handy with the new higher res screens.

+1 for battery life on my part. Especially combined with quad cores. The new HTC One X is spec'd with an 1800ma battery, and only tests will see how effective that is. My Desire HD has a 1200 battery, and without a customised ROM, I couldn't take it to work for a day without bringing a charger.
