I'm actually about to apply a second one when I get mine from PhantomSkinz. The one I got from BestSkinsEver has a weird rainbowy line effect that's very distracting on light colors. I've had the same issue before with these types of skins -- it's just the luck of the draw, really.

I would say if you want to be super-cautious, you could use distilled water. Even if it gets inside, as long as the power's off, it shouldn't leave any residual minerals inside once it dries. Personally, I'll just use tap. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Do this

Bummer dudes. I have used wet screen protectors on all my devices. I used to use Zagg but got tired of the orange peel so switched to XO Skins for the GNex. Completely stoked, the XO is crystal clear with zero orange peel. The only way you get such a good result is with wet applications (some better than others) but the trick is to use the spray sparingly and I started covering the speakers, ports and buttons with a good masking tape. With the GNex I couldn't cover the ear piece so I placed my finger over it while I sprayed the solution. No problems whatsoever. I have never experienced liquid damage probably because I tape over the buttons and ports. Just an idea for those who want to press forward...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aesthetics45:
Ya just ordered my xo. i will take your advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
This is exactly why I just decided to put my GN in an otterbox defender
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forevr5688:
Wish I saw this post sooner. I did a wet application and the phone started having power issues. First it would power on but would show the battery empty and needing to be plugged in. Then it would power off on its own eventhough it was plugged in. Did this a number of times until it eventually would not turn on. Waited about 3hrs before putting the battery in and turning it on. Next time, i'll have to wait overnight but hesitant to do a wet application on this phone again.

I have to agree with those that say the wet application is the way to go. I have done numerous dry and wet applications and have always found the wet application to almost look 100% invisible. I even do wet applications using the VZW dry screen protectors and they come out awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO....i put on an XO skin and it ****ed up my power button as well, so i put it in rice, over night , and now the power button works fine, but my wifi is being really weird....whenever i am connected via wifi, the arrows showing the connectivity are constantly on, meaning its constantly doing something on the internet, causing battery drain....i bought mine from Expansys_USA and called Samsung on Friday night, the night it happened, and they couldnt find my IMEI number in their system, so now i have to wait til Tuesday cuz they "escalated my problem", but yea, im NEVER using a wet apply again....hopefully i can get a replacement or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
How long did u wait before putting the battery back in and powering up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
about an hour or so....i have put it in rice again and gonna leave it there for more 24 hours and see how it works tomorrow...since the customer service desks are closed today anyways, might as well see if i can salvage the wifi issue as well!?!?! although i dont understand how only that can be effected, when i turn my wifi off, my data doesnt constantly stay connecting...which leads me to believe its the wifi only, but my power button works flawlessly, doing tests, its responding 10 out of 10 times (in a test), but when it first was being wacked up, it responded only 2 out of 10 times!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
So soaking a phone with water is still okay as long as you remove the battery?

Honestly this is the first time I ever heard of wet applied screen protector, doesn't seem safe to have an phone near water in the first place, but doesn't sound good to read the Nexus so susceptible. Maybe it detected moisture and wouldn't turn on. There is a water damaged detector inside the phone that turned to red if the phone is in water too, bad for trying to get warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
where is this detector??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
It's not really useful in term of diagnosing the phone, it just turn red when water gets on it, but sometimes can be unreliable. It just let factory people knows you dropped the phone in water when you turn it in for repair (and I guess perhaps charge you more depends on what company you're dealing with).

http://www.google.com/images?q=galaxy+water+damage+detector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
i know, but do u know where it is? itll help determine if i can send it to Expansys for the warranty in case it is heavily water damaged, i dont wanna waste my time, because the wifi issue isnt a deal breaker, i can just turn wifi off when not in use! Do i have to unscrew the back off the phone and then i can see it? its not under the battery, as far as i can see

Edit: here it is.... ill see if i can open it tomorrow and determine if i have it red or not! i dont have a screwdrive that small at the moment http://cdn.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/GNex-teardown.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I have applied two wet screen protectors to my SGN within 2 weeks time, also I have applied them to my Captivate, Atrix & iPad. Which leads me to believe you are doing it wrong! And I assure you I did not use the wet spray sparingly either! Here are some tips/ rules anyone must follow to apply wet screen protectors!

1) remove battery, sim, sdcard & replace door

2) use a no-lint cloth to soak up excess wetness as you squeeze it out from underneath the protector!!

3) leave the phone sit POWERED OFF for up to 24 hours! I personally have never left it off longer than 2, but 24 would be better to give all the moisture a chance to evaporate.

If you follow those rules I assure you, you will not have any problems applying wet screen protectors. Stop scaremongering.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
snip snip snip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
yeah but some people actually have to use their phone...especially me, im a business man, i cant go without a phone for that long :( im out of luck! hopefully the rice can help! idk if i wanna wait a month for Expansys to fix the "issue"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2manycells:
Don't know if this was already mentioned, but one thing you could do is to put the phone in a bowl of raw, uncooked (hard) rice and leave it there overnight. Something about the rice causes the moisture to dissipate. A friend of mine dropped his blackberry in the toilet, and did this, and came back to preach about how this works. I googled it and found similar stories. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Aye, rice in a sealed bag put it into the airing cupboard is standard practice for any water damaged phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
i put it in rice over night when the power button issue was occurring for 8 hours, and that seemed to work, so now im putting it in rice for a full 24 hours in hopes the wifi problem goes away! ill cope cuz it was definitely my fault with the screen protector, but like the OP, im personally done with them! i wanna try that new Dynaflo Liquid Armor stuff! looks really cool, just waiting for a review on that thread!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You can't go without your phone for 2 hours!? :eek: if nothing else you can do it before you go to bed and leave it while you sleep. If you are unwilling to follow the rules then my advise to you is to not buy a wet screen protector. Maybe your thread should read, "user error = broken GN". You gotta be joking me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
2 hours? the instructions clearly say 24 hours.....if you're telling me to follow the rules, why would i wait for just 2 hours? and this isnt my thread, simply adding to the OP seeing as how this has happened to a few people in this thread alone, and mine just happened a few days ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You must have missed my first post..

I am only saying my personal experience, it is each users choice what they are willing to do or not. I have not had any problems leaving it 2 hours (checking that there is no visual moisture befor powering on), i clearly stated "24 would be better to give all the moisture a chance to evaporate." it seams obvious the OP did not leave it any time at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Logic would dictate that if you are a business person and can't go without...that you do it before bed.

I'm sure 6-8 hours is sufficient.

This happened to me today while installing my ArmorSuit Military Shield. Now it's in a rice bath after the hair dryer failed. If this aint working im just gonna send it to sammy, I still got warranty.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
Well nothing bad happened to me when I applied mg Armorsuit last night :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flitezone:
How long was the phone in the tub of rice? I applied armor suit this morning and am experiencing the same issues. Power button non responsive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neccoguy21:
Definitely. I haven't come across a wet install screen protector yet that doesn't have warnings plastered all over it telling you not to turn on your device for at least 8 hours. Some say 12, a lot say 24. Putting a battery into an electronic device that you just got liquid all inside 10 min ago is phone suicide. You just have to learn PATIENCE. turn on a timer, or better yet, give your battery to a friend and tell them to take it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uansari1:
24 hours is to allow any moisture that got INTO the phone to evaporate and let the skin fully set so you won't get wrinkles! Come on guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinouchi:
Common sense people ... *facepalm*

Moister and electronic don't mix well. Obviously there's still some moister that got inside the device, and being a smart person you are, you powered on the device right after. Some thing got to be shorted or damage.

Even XO skins recommend 2 hours minimum wait time to avoid damaging the device, 12 hours best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneFreshDude:
this just happened to me. i stuck it in rice, will let you know what happens.. The reason I turned it on right afterwards was because I've done wet installs on my ipod touches 2g through 4g and have used them right afterwards with no problem.. Hopefully my gnex doesnt die! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnnnr14:
Wow.... Back when I had my gs3 I had a zagg wet apply screen protector and in big bold letters it said DO NOT SOAK PHONE / PROTECTOR WITH SOLUTION. Then I also let it sit over night to dry how did you mess yours up?

-tapped from my paradigm Franco kernel Galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
Yeah, rice always helps when the phone is placed in it overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
It's called assuming that you know better. The post above yours shows that the user assumed that he knew better since he's applied that screen protector before. It just does t work that way. Follow the instructions. How hard is that? Otherwise it's your own fault

My cousin is having issues with his phone and asked me if I could help him flash back to stock. I'm doing some forum searches but I can't seem to clearly find an odin rom to return to stock (as in out of the box T-Mobile US stock, unrooted). I'm not familiar with the different samsung versioning, ie. kd5, etc....so I think that's what's making it difficult for me to understand which to use. (I'm assuming it's got to be out there, and that I just don't understand what I'm seeing in my search results to figure it out. The lettering is confusing the crap out of me.)

I would appreciate it if someone who knows what's what can help and just point me to a link to the rom to flash? I've used Odin before, so I think I'm good from there. Thanks in advance.

[EDIT] I'm still doing some searching....should I just grab this:

Make sure you factory data reset after you flash to clear your cousin's data off of the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Android 2.2 (KD1 Froyo) was stock on my phone purchased in November 2011. To obtain a non-rooted version with no alterations to the recovery mode, check the official samsung site here:

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=373879

All the other versions I've ever ODIN'd including Ravers "KJ6 stock only" came pre-rooted.

KD1 was fast and smart but 2.3.6 Gingerbread (KJ6) is faster, even though an official GB release was made for the SGS4G, it is not considered stock equipment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] josepresas:
so do I flash kd1 or kj6? Lol

Thanks fb and farlander

I've been waiting for this new recovery to come out ever since I got my Kindle Fire(we're a bit limited with only 1 physical button). This was just released a few minutes ago, but it's been in development for a year or so.

I have no affiliation with the team, but I thought others would be interested in trying this out. Luckily, the Atrix was included in the initial wave of supported devices. More pics below.

Video of it in action on a tablet. It really shows the potential for an XML-based recovery. Could mean some very nice ROM installs among other things. :D

TWRP 2.0 for Motorola Atrix 4G

TWRP 2.0 General Info

Themers, keep your eye on this page. Atrix is not listed, yet. ;)

Install instructions with fastboot:

1. Place twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img in fastboot folder.

2. Open command prompt and cd to directory from step 1

3. Put phone in fastboot mode and connect to computer.

4. fastboot devices

5. fastboot erase recovery

6. fastboot flash recovery twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img

7. fastboot reboot

Note to CM7 users: It doesn't look like the internal storage naming (/emmc) used by CM7 is supported yet, so you will be limited to just using /sdcard.

*Edit*

Looks like there's an official thread over in development now.
[Atrix 4G General] Javi97100:
This should go in development. But glad to see this recovery on atrix :D
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
Sorry, I wasn't sure if I should post it there since I wasn't the one to develop it. Mods, please feel free to move. Thanks. :)
[Atrix 4G General] revrenhex:
Just flashed to my CM7 atrix, and tried flashing a .zip (radio update) and seemed to work just fine! Touchscreen recovery, the way it should be!
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Just flashed it to mine, and I have to say its quite impressive. Methinks my volume buttons are going to see a lot less wear on them now.

Only issue is that it doesnt look like you can backup/restore your PDS partition, but thats not something you need to mess with often so you could probably just flash another recovery temporarily if needed.
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
I'm jealous! I can't flash it yet cuz I'm not at home.

The development has been pretty quick on this. I'm sure if it's not in there currently, it will be at some point.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I flashed it but couldn't install anything it gave me errors saying it couldn't read the SD cards and I couldn't see any of my files.
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
What ROM are you on currently? I'm on CM7 so I'm wondering if sdcard naming might be an issue for non-blur roms. I just wanted to prepare myself for possible issues once I get it flashed.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I'm on cm7 as well. I'm thinking the problem lies in the previous recovery image I had, I was using cwm prior to flashing this. Wonder if I wiped recovery in fastboot prior to flashing the new recovery if that'd fix it.
[Atrix 4G General] revrenhex:
I am using CM7 Weekly 3, and i switched from RomRacers recovery. I used the fastboot erase recovery prior to flashing this, and it doesnt seem to have any problems in the limited testing I have done with it. In the log at the bottom of the screen it says error mounting sd-ext but it is able to flash .zip files from it, so...
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Will try again tomorrow. I gotta hit the sack. Amazing job tho by the devs on this. Truly revolutionary work. Night all.

Ok, this is the first CWM zip I've ever tried putting together so please let me know if you have any problems. I took an existing .zip and edited the updater script. I just tried it coming from romracer's CWM, and it worked for me.

If it works for others I will add it to the OP. Happy flashing! :)

*Edit*

Btw, when using TWRP I tried to reboot into bootloader but it seemed to put me in fastboot mode. Just wanted to put that out there in case others get stuck on "Unlocked" screen.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I can't get this to work so frustrating. I flash with fastboot, it boots into recovery. Its a great touch screen interface. But there are no files populating. I can click the bottom middle button and see a bunch or errors about being able to mount my SD card and such. What step am I missing here.
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
So when you tap on "Install" it doesn't take you to the root of your external sdcard? For me, that is the only directory I have access to at the moment since I'm on CM7. All of the actions are defaulting to /sdcard.

What boxes are checked for you when you go into "Mount"? I was unable to check sdcard-ext from there, but everything else was selectable.
[Atrix 4G General] sanriver12:
no it should not
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Only boxes checked for mount are cache. I can't mount sd card or anything else. When I click install it takes me to the main / root folder. I can go to whatever folder I want but nothing shows up.
[HTC Sensation] confrontation:
I have had this problem for awhile , My capacitive buttons have stopped working.

I remember dropping the phone from a short height but the phone has no physical damage , it had no problems for along time and then suddenly one day they stopped working fully.

Im on the latest Android Revolution HD Rom and have tried a reinstall.

I have also opened the phone up to look for any sign of internal damage but nothing.

The touch screen itself works great the home botton works sometimes if u get it in the right spot but other then that nothing.

Anybody got any ideas? New Digitizer?

Would like any help.

Tether via mifi/tmobile or get the gsm version. I settled with the gsm for business purposes as I would need access to immediate emails.
