ts this rice trick.

Bag of dry uncooked rice place phone inside and leave in a warm place for a few days .

Uncle Sams rice the best .

[Galaxy S II General] alias_neo:
Uncle Ben's :P

Put it in a tub and stick it on top of your radiator, if you have radiators and it fits.

To be honest though, after having switched it back on, any damage that is likely to have been done has probably been done.
[Galaxy S II General] Skellyyy:
Guys just for future reference I came across these amazing little bags that iFixit do. They're called "thirsty bags" which is supposed to do exactly what rice will do, just more convenient.

I've ordered 5 just to have in case of a rainy day which I might need one. Thought I'd let you know about them if you haven't heard of them already. :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
I don't want to be too critical but many Smart Actions I found here or other Razr forums tend to be very restrictive on your use.

Com'on, you bought an expensive fancy phone which uses the fastest 4G LTE network, you paid some premium on those joy. It is never a Verizon LTE Razr if you turn 4G off.

So my bottom line is :

1.I want to be able to surf web/watch youtube/check email on 4G or wifi network when I want to (as opposed to wait for 5 seconds because it was off when screen was off)

And

2. I want to have reasonable battery life.

After some testing, Smart Actions that work on my Razr is

1. At Home: when it detect my wifi, it will switch there.

2. In call: When there is incoming call, turn off Data Connection and Screen turn to 0% brightness. (This is CDMA network, so you can't surf and use data at the same time anyway. Or do you really do a lot of such things? If so, please ignore this)

This #2 will help if you have constant phone conversation of about 30 mins daily. You won't want to burn unnecessary juicy while you are only talking.

3. At work where no wifi is available (for security reasons), I turn it off. I sit in office most of the time of the day, so you won't want wifi keep scanning and eating juice. I used TImeFrame to identify this, not geo location because wifi will need to be turned off.

4. In the night, using the night saver sample, I turned off cell data and background sync.

5. Low battery saver: surprisingly, in this action I only turned it to 0% screen brightness. Why? Just imagine you are using it as GPS or some important task on the road, you dont want to lose the GPS/Data if the battery dropped below a threshhold?

6. Most helpful action:

No Action At Work.

If you are working in office most of the time, your cellphone is quietly sitting on your desk mainly. So if you specify

1. at work

2. movement detection found nothing moving

then disable background sync. it will save the juice and when you turn on the screen to check email, the 4G is always there.

The whole idea , is not to disable data connection whenever you turn off screen. Many times you will have background downloads and sometimes when you turn on the screen, the phone takes some time to restore the data connection. which makes you staring at your phone can wait for a while. quite unfortunate if you have an Iphone user sitting beside you immediately pull the data out, right? =)

Personal settings, hopefully it helps you. It will easily give you 12 hours of usage. and for my charge now: 10 hours later it is at 80%, of course it has 6 hours of night standby.

Let's discuss more TESTED smart actions here? =)

note: if your phone is in your pocket a lot during a working day, don't use motion detection and you know why...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robstunner:
You can use voice and data simultaneously when on 4g. Just fyi.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zexco:
Yup, it's definitely useful too.

Example: talking to friend on phone about hanging out, go to home screen open Google maps to check when the next bus comes, while still talking to friend

"Movement Detection"

Is there such an option? Been looking for it, can't find it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kvl19:
To get the best battery life, when should I charge my phone? When the phone almost runs out of juice, or whenever I can (below 80%) ? Please help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Deep discharges are bad, but so is spending lots of time at maximum charge.

I'd consider charging around when you hit 80% if it's convenient, but if you're expecting to be on battery for a while soon, top off whenever you want.

Discharging to 5-15% is bad for your battery longterm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kvl19:
So to get the best battery, I should charge when it is $80 right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
There's no hard fast rule about 'exactly' when you should recharge it. Simply try and keep the phone from running < 20% a lot and never keep it always charged at 100%. If you get in the habit of charging in the 30-80% range, that would be best.

Basically throw out the old mentality of always using it as much as possible before recharging as lithium batteries simply don't work like the old nicad batteries from years past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
This phone uses a Li-Ion battery, and these batteries do NOT have any kind of "memory." Charge it whenever you want to. However, it's not really good to always keep it "topped off." (Deep discharges are also not good.)

If you are going to store the battery, drop it to 75%-50% charged first.

There are some things to consider, however:

If the phone's power circuit bypasses the battery when the battery is fully charge (instead of constantly pulling power from the battery while the battery is recharging), then leaving the phone plugged in is better than constant charge/discharge cycles. Based on the fact that this phone will work properly with NO battery attached when plugged in, this is probably a true statement (but I can't know for sure.)

Second, the phone itself might like to see the battery charged/discharged once in a while to calibrate the battery monitoring circuitry. (You never calibrate a li-ion battery - only the circuitry that monitors the battery.)

Here's a link with some interesting information:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Take care

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kvl19:
Got it. Thanks for all your information
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
A small note to add why you shouldn't 'keep' it above 80% (constant top offs and being left on the charger). In general when above 80% it's been found that lithium ion batteries have a 'higher state of activity'.

What that does to the battery is what it sounds like. Higher state of activity means higher wear and overall shorter lifespan.

That wear is easily seen in laptops. Many people have the habit of leaving them always plugged in while using and through the night, so they're always 'ready to go'. People who consistently do this to their laptops usually find after 1 year the battery life is noticeably shorter, 1 1/2 years 50% or so of 'new' capacity, and after 2 years looking at replacing the battery.

And I usually find a cheap deal on eBay for them, plus $50-75 for me. At least phone batteries are a bit cheaper.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dj1337:
As Google announced at their event, the GN should film 1080p@30fps, but after seeing the many review which are available on the net, the conclusion is that the GN only films at 24fps.

Could this be fixed through software? It would be a huge lie, if Google mentioned 30fps, reality being something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nesx87:
i would also like to know that.. really dont like 24 fps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Is that why the videos seem so choppy ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
generally, most film is done at 24FPS which is the standard for NTSC. in the past, they would 'convert' films to 30FPS by "splitting" the A/B fields in the video in an attempt to give it a more fluid sort of feel. they originally did this for older tv sets though...

if you were watching such films on a newer TV for instance you could tell a video's been converted by seeing occasional weird doubling/lines appear in motion-filled areas. tv's/pc's though have software "filters" to hide this effect, at least the lines part.. but if you have good eyes you'll still see the occasional doubling(ghosting).

considering the compact size of the GN screen though, you should not see "jerkiness(choppiness)" unless it's some sort of hardware or software related issue.

[EDIT] although it would still be weird to do a full 1080P video and limit it to 24FPS even if you are just watching it on your phone. the whole 24FPS thing was from the DVD days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
This is normal spec of 1080p videos. If you had an HTPC you'd probably already be aware of this, as some videocard manufactures have a bug were it's not fully 24fps, or alternates causing you to see a shudder..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dj1337:
When filming at 1080p it is usually done at 30fps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The FPS is usually capped in media_profiles.xml that you can find in the source on AOSP. That's where the quality settings and codecs used per setting is defined.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
But why all the video looks like under-water

Film is 23.976 fps. If your video card is set to 24fps instead of 23.976, you'll get a stutter every 41.66 seconds.

If the vivid gets perm root and unlocked with s-off I'll probably get another one. I love the phone and the screen is one of the prettiest out there in my opinion. Hopefully it won't take long to get things moving on it, if htc doesn't keep their promise the amaze might be my last htc device unless if they were to bring a rezound to att, if that happened I'd be like a kid at Christmas.

I'm Keeping Mine

It does what I need - phone calls, texting, web access, running apps I've installed. Except for a couple of random reboots (none recently) and one system freeze (pulled the battery) over 30 days, I've had no real problems. It's fast when I have a good data connection, and I don't think it's the phone's fault when I don't. I did give AT&T a list of issues for their survey, but overall, I'm satisfied.

As for the Carrier IQ issue, any phone I get from AT&T (except for possibly the iPhone 4S) will have CIQ software on it. Rooting, when available, may not be totally stable yet for any of the new LTE phones. The best solution for me is to keep my communications plain vanilla, which I do any way, so there's nothing that I need to be worried about. I do want to CIQ stuff off my phone if and when there is a safe way to do it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
the SGHi777 aka the Galaxy S 2, does not contain CIQ

as for rooting LTE phones, i guess you havent seen the GS2 Skyrocket forums? its rooted and has custom roms.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Our own Gsleon has been talking with Evil_Devnull a little bit. Evil is working on rooting the HTC Rezound (which is nearly identical to the Vivid). So as of now, keep on the lookout for the progress with the Rezound root, because that could very well translate to when/how we Vivid owners get root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
You made a good choice. I owned gs2 earlier, switched to vivid, and had to come back to GS2. I wanted to Love vivid but HTC/Att who ever locks the boot loader shattered my plans. Well, I'm happy to be back to GS2.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Went in to return the vivid tonight...

I didn't.

Quite simply, there is no viable alternative.

The skyrockets screen is horrendous and build quality is scary.

The nitro has the most beautiful screen I have ever seen but it is so laggy, unresponsive and jittery it feels like am entry level Android device, plus even with an unlocked bootloader devs hate LG so who knows what roms will ever come out for it.

So I sit... And pray someone crack this thing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Finally... someone talks some sense. LG development is/has always been a joke. Samsung development consists of TouchWiz and AOSP Rom's (is there even a difference between the two?). I guess I can see all the people pissy about being lied to from HTC, but I don't see another option right now. Samsung phones are boring. I'm waiting for Evil and Gsleon.
