[Nexus One General] Wraithxt1:
A little over a year ago I washed my Nexus One in the washing machine. Extra bleach, long cycle with an extra rinse cycle since it was a bunch of dirty clothing.

I remembered it was in my pocked when I went to remove my clothing, I was sure it was dead.

I pulled the battery and put the phone on the dry air vent of my dehumidifier for two days. The vent blew warm, completely dry air directly into the open back of my phone.

I popped the battery back in and it's been working like new ever since. The camera colors are ever so slightly off, however.

Let the phone dry out before you try to turn it back on.
[Nexus One General] dolphin77:
Recently had the same issue. In my case was a bit easier.

What I did - removed back cover, battery, SIM, sd-card..

Switched my laptop and loaded it with compiling linux kernel. Then decoding HD video with handbrake. The aim was to get a constant flow of warm air (abt 70 degrees Celcius). And I put my phone close to vent fan out of my laptop. It is not overheating too much (like you can with air dryer).
[Nexus One General] cheiron29:
I had a water damage as well, sliped with phone into the while geocaching. The salt walter wasn't good for my phone... :-(
[Nexus One General] cyberstoic:
I always thought rice, particularly instant rice because it is so absorbent, or any dessicant was a good strategy.

On the other hand, hair dryers seem a very bad idea. Heat from the dryer can be damaging, but the real damage from a hair dryer is that is sends the air at a strong velocity and it blows the water further in the device.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Rice is actually a very good thing to use just like cyberstoic says. It sucks the water into the rice and gets it out of the device.

The reason he listed for the hair dryer is valid, but it isn't the main reason. The main reason is that the hair dryer will just cause the water to evaporate, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the super humid air will leave the device, so as soon as it cools back down, you will still have that moisture in there.\

This is why rice or other desiccants (like all those silica gel packets that come with a lot of packaging) are used. They actually pull the moisture out of the device.
[Nexus One General] jacindc:
Rice worked for me when my N1 spent a night soaking in seltzer. (not completely submerged, but enough to get a big batch under the screen) But first I used a vacuum to suck out as much of the seltzer as I could. Then I put it in rice for about 30 hours.
[Nexus One General] CCpotter:
What about the dirt in the rice? If you use rice to dry those water inside, the dirt with rice will melt with the water inside and make damage to your elements.

If you use hair dryer in a proper way, it can dry your water inside without causing any damage. Have seen after-sale repair workers do this many times.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Did you read my response at all? While it is possible for the hair dryer to fix the problem, it can also cause the problem to remanifest itself if that humid air doesn't actually leave the casing. That is the point of the rice. Dirt in the rice is irrelevant. We aren't talking about that much water, and the phone is still in its casing. The rice is just removing the moisture from the air.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
I've been experimenting with modems, and I'm not convinced that it is the cause if my problems, but now it's out in the table.

When I'm on mobile data i must manually sync everything from gmail to google voice to friendcaster. so i reflashed my ROM and returned to stock modem. And thought this whole thing I've been using stock apn from cm7 (latest Kang) and stool experienced this problem.

Finally i turned on wifi... It works everything works like a charm... But mobile still doesn't. Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong?

Edit: now i don't know what's happening... BBC it would seem like everything is working but even with wifi it's still spotty. Idk what could have caused this.

[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
To unlock bootloader cwm and roms kernels etc plz sir
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Look in the "Development" section.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
Hate to burst your bubble there sir, BUT...if your Electrify has Android 2.3.5, then you are UNABLE to unlock the bootloader, myself and others are looking into ways to re-unlock the bootloader...again. However, if you are running 2.3.4 then you are set to jet, there is links and info for you, I think there is also a way to disable the 2.3.5 update as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Are you guys able to SBF? That may help if there is specific files for the electrify. NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO SBF A SPRINT FILE!!!

I have the Photon, so I have no idea. Motorola doesn't like Sprint, they love Verizon, so that's why we will never get the update on our Photons, including 1080p, or Ice Cream Sandwich, because Motorola hates Sprint, so they barely do anything for them. Any other carrier, sure.

[rant] Like you guys got 1080p updates on yours, and Android 2.3.5, we didn't yet (my phone is having issues for checking for updates so I believe that this is true, but yeah....) I know we haven't gotten 1080p yet, if we ever will. I bet someone will have to port it over, cuz we probably won't get it.

I hate to say it, but you guys will probably get Ice Cream Sandwich, and we won't.

That's how Motorola treats Sprint, and Sprint's customers. We are lucky we even have this phone on Sprint, but if it was on Verizon, it would get ICS, no doubt, but Motorola is faking this relationship with Sprint, because if they wre for real, we would have more high-end Motorola devices at least planned for the Now Network.

Am I blind or does the People app not display contacts from Exchange/Corp email accounts? Even when trying to send an email via Email app(not Gmail) my contacts are missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robinsmy1:
Under the menu in the people app there is an accounts items. Make sure the account is selected.

Also make sure in your exchange setup you have selected to sync contacts
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
Why hasn't anyone recommended this app yet? The android app fast reboot has made my phone more stable (I'm running stock 2.3.3 not rooted). With this app there is no need to restart the phone every 2-3 days, and this might be my unique experience but the phone hasn't randomly locked up since I downloaded this app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlazinHitman:
y do u need to reboot your phone every 2-3 days in the first place?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
Yeah, same question, why do you ever have to reboot your phone in 2-3 days?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
I don't know about you guys, but around the third day my phone starts to feel sluggish, and a reboot seems to bring everything back to speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FoibleOfHumanity:
I can second that. I also remember reading somewhere a while ago that you should restart your phone atleast once a week.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
ZiZi and Foible are right. It actually does good to do this to both your phone and your computer/laptop. Rebooting kind of gives it a fresh start. Clears up crap that just keeps piling up.

[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
don't know if this has been posted yet but just an FYI, did you know that you can upload your 3D videos to Youtube in 3D!!!!!! When you upload them just put "yt3d" without the quotes, in the tag field. Then it will play in the Youtube 3D player, which also gives the option to view in 2D and different versions of 3D including using red/cyan glasses or even cross eyes. Also other EVO 3D users can view your videos from their phone in 3D automatically!!! :) Here is one that I did:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUSdjuJblk

If you view that from your EVO 3D it will automatically play in 3D. And just another FYI, if you download the app Tubemate, and do a search for "yt3d" you can find all kinds of 3D videos even 3D movie trailers on Youtube and download them in HD 3D to your phone for offline viewing :) You can download Tubemate here:

http://devian7.iisweb.co.kr/download.jsp

I know that the default Android video uploader on the phone won't upload via the cell connection if it's over a certain size, it will say WAITING FOR WIFI, . . . . . HOWEVER.. ;) if you use Opera Mobile, just log into your Youtube account and you can upload the files off your phone via your cell connection that way, works great, I get about a 90% or more successful upload rate.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yep. It's pretty cool. Any 3D videos are actually automagically tagged with YT3D so you don't even need to add tags yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatguy11285:
If uploading from a desktop tags are

yt3d:enable=true

Unless they changed it with the new update
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
All I know is that when I don't add the tag, it doesn't play using the 3D player. And when I just add "yt3d" it does.
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
post your videos guys! I am uploading one now

3D video

This is a 3D video of 3D RC helicopter flying. I set up with trees in the back ground for a better 3D effect but was not pleased with the result. The video was added to a RC manufacturer's web site so they liked it.

I need advice to get better 3D effects

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Just got my soft case today...I order the Black one. I love it! Makes the phone so better and easier to handle. The grip is just about perfect.

However, in my opinion...I wish the back side with the S design, where part is smooth and part is grip......It would be better if they were opposite. More grip area than smooth area. But then it would have more of a glossy look to it, but either way is cool.

Side grips give you good control with no sliding from your fingers.

The soft area in the back is a finger print magnet but the smooth area is print free.

The Vol buttons and Power buttons are actually covered/molded into the case. This actually makes them easier to find and depress with no issues at all.

All ports are very easily accessible including the sim/sdcard door.

Overall look is very sleek and stylish, I would not hesitate to show this thing off to anyone and say 'mine is better than yours!', LOL.

I would really recommend this Cimo S-Line Soft case for your Razr.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ghost_og:
I've been playing with my new Kindle Fire, trying to find apps I can side load onto it. I didn't see this posted here or in the market, so I pulled the Amazon Video player that came packaged with it. Requires:

1. Unrooted device

2. Amazon account (Prime membership if you want free stuff)

3. Wi-Fi connection

A few notes:

-You can use OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot. Haven't personally done this because I'm on CM7 and lazy. :p

-Since it's not designed for our phones the layout is a little funky.

-For Amazon logins: Select a free video and purchase it. After that you should get a login screen.

-Works on some tablets too.

I realize this has some limited uses, but I figured others may be interested in checking it out. Maybe someone can even figure out how to get around the root/wi-fi bottlenecks?

And yes, I know you can just use desktop mode and log in to the site via a browser. ;)

Have fun!

Cool thanks... I'm a prime member, so I'll give it a try when I get me Asus Transformer Prime in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the .apk though.
[Epic 4G General] tnguyen444:
Ok, not sure if this should go here or the Samsung Epic 4g Touch Forum, as this is my phone and where the issue occured, but I figured this could apply to other phones and wanted to help whoever out.

Anyways, I had the phone for just two weeks and one day I connected to my computer with a micro usb cable, and the computer would fail to recognize it saying "USB device not recognized..." I tried everything including different computers, cables, reinstalling device drivers etc to no avail. Come to find out, I plugged the micro usb cable into the micro usb more firmly and pushed down on a little bit, and finally recognized the device. I guess the port was wearing down over just two weeks and the connection had come loose.

Anyways, wondering if anyone had this issue and if it was repairable as I can see the port getting progressively worst with repeated plugging and unplugging of the device. Thinking samsung would have been able to have built a more durable mini usb port for such a nicely designed device.
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Well first, you were right with wondering if you were posting in the wrong place. This is the original epic forum, not the touch. Also,this question has been beaten to death already. Either your cable is faulty, or your drivers aren't fully installed. You can also remove your battery while in download mode and that can help it being recognized.
[Epic 4G General] tnguyen444:
b16flybye -- I think I just said it wasn't the usb cable or drivers and that it was the actual micro usb port on the phone that was causing the issue.
[Epic 4G General] Gavisann:
If you truly believe that it is the port, you can get it replaced at a Sprint store.
[Epic 4G General] tnguyen444:
and sorry I meant to post in the general forum. I will move my post.

Gavisann -- Yea, it is the port. Once I push the cable in further, the device will recognize it, but once I let go, it loses the connection.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
He also meant wrong device. This is not the Epic Touch. It is the Epic forum you are in...slide out keyboard...1 1/3 years since release.....
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
He's a long way from home. Good luck with your...port, or cable, or whatever the hell the problem is. Sounds like you knew the problem before you posted in the wrong place though.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
Just thought I would share. I picked up a ZAGG Invisible Shield for the Galaxy Nexus today at BestBuy. As usual, its top notch. Very well cut. Reaches to all edges, not too hard to install (mind you, I have a lot of experience with them, and have gotten pretty good lol)

(sorry its stupidly hard to take pictures.. and uhh I used my Nexus One to take them lol) BUT just as the pictures show.. it really is invisible and hard to notice.

http://kwazico.com/tmp/zagg1.jpg

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
The shield covers the FFC and sensors at the top right? Hmm. My invishield for my last phone was cut around those..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
I hate ZAGG. They look good for about a week then they start collecting lint around the edges and it also stretches out of place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
Nono, its cut around those. I tried to take a pic of it but it just came out blurry everytime :(

to each his own.. many people do hate ZAGG, but others like me have had very good experiences with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
put your camera in micro mode, then you can take up close pictures
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TroyBoy30:
+1

I always found BSE to be much better and cheaper. the orange peel affect of the zagg bothers me. IMO power support has everyone beat, but they only make products for apple

http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-skin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
+1 on the powerskin.

is there a "invisi skin" for the body?

i'm more interested in putting a invisible shield type protection for the body.

as for the front, i've used armorsuit and they have less orange peel effect.

without a suitable "powersupport" type i probably would just use the wet skin, but not for this phone. resolution and screen is too damn sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
How's the feel of it? I never liked the rubbery feeling of ZAGG protectors... made swiping motions on the screen a chore. Has it changed from their previous material or is it the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
+1 for Best Skins Ever, their stuff is super cheap and works amazingly well with minimal orange peel and not as grippy as the Zagg. I've tried them all; Zagg, GhostArmor, Skinomi, SGP, but as far as the wet film install types, Best Skins Ever is definitely my favorite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I concur, and the orange peel bothers me. Never using them again.

The cover itself is very good though for those who aren't OCD like me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
I like Zagg. I'd rather have a thick film that actually protects from cuts and scratches than a thinner one that looks nicer.

The only time the zagg shield are hard to use is the summer time when it's humid outside. Makes swiping hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Did you do the full body? How well is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfnio:
It is not yet available...:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tweedie:
Well, I finally installed ZAGG on my GN. The outline cut looks good, and was so easy to apply to. It does feel strong. It doesn't feel rubberish actually, and when you look at the reflection, its kinda looks slightly bumpy (though can't see any air bubbles). On screen, it kinda looks like there is a smear of water/oily look -- but then again, I only just put it on 10 minutes ago!

It does say that micro air bubbles will eventually come out over the next couple of days, so will see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
I love mine. Ordered mine on CyberMonday from Zagg along with my full body for my 2011 11'' MacBook Air. Due to issues with customs I received my shield prior to getting my phone so before I even booted the phone up it had its protector on. I put Zagg on all my devices that take it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
it gets MUCH better over a week.

you'll like it (minus the orange peel effect). :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tweedie:
Yeah after two days it is so much better now!

I was scratching my head as I don't see any orange colour on the screen protector, but now I just realised you referring to those little bumps (aka orange peel). Yeah at first, it bugs me, but it grown onto me now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
then send it back you get a huge warranty. I have had them on all my phones and never had them peel off. They take ages to put on but really worth it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I had the Zagg on my Vibrant and i now have one on the Nexus. The one on the Vibrant had annoying orange peel but this one seems better. Im good at installing them though. One thing that really annoys me now though is they watermark the shield in the lower right corner with "ZAGG". But you are right about power support. Thats all i buy for my wifes iphones. She hates the Zagg anyway LOL.

Power Control widget.

Did you try the Power Control widget?

That's what I use, you can activate the 2G/3G switch and it let's you choose the available options. For instance, you can set it up to 2G or 3G and that will allow you to enable/disable the 4G... Or you can switch between 2G, 2G/3G and 3G. It's all configurable.

Whenever it says 3G on this widget, just read 4G...

Works like a charm for me. I'm using the EaglesBlood ROM (CM7 based).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
4g is the same radio as 3g on T-Mobile, so if you're looking for a way to turn off 4g and leave 3g on it can't be done. 4g uses no more battery than 3g.

You can set it to 2g only though. Either on cm7 with the tips the others suggested or with Toggle2g which I've included in Tsugi.
