Hey Guys!

There is a Info in Settings -> Telephone Info -> Status -> My Number (sorry, can't exactly tell, in German it is Einstellungen -> Telefoninfo -> Status -> Meine Telfonnummer) on old Phones I could change this one. Now it shows something I don't want it to.

Can I change this Setting in Android?

PLease Help...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] velvetmxo:
phone wasn't submerged, but enough water got to it to cause the water seal to turn pink. I blew dried it and dumped it in rice and what not.

I attempted to start it up the screen had no discolorations and it booted riight up but everything was force closing while trying to enter the phone from the lock screen.

so I rebooted and the phone stays at the galaxy s2 screen.

i attempted a nandroid (I already have a saved nandroid) but wanted to backup this one since i'm not sure it syncd some of the contacts.

when attempting the nandroid i got an error during the backup portion of the data.

Does that mean i should just recover from my original backup or is thier anything i should be doing?

thanks

Um i think you might have to get a replacement phone..

When i had a iPhone i dropped it in my pool so i let it dray out for 2 years and now it works.

Though i have a Galaxy S II cause i love android and the thing doesn't break plus i spilled water on it and it works fine with no effects.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stevenrogers_420:
Get some 90% alcohol. Remove covers, battery, Sim cards, etc.. submerge the phone in it for 3-5 minutes to displace any moisture still trapped inside. Take it out, let sit and evaporate for 10-15 minutes. Place inside your oven at 125° for 4-6 hrs. Replace battery and fire it up. If it still won't boot then return for warranty as your humi-dots will now be white :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
No way.

If you're going to try this at least wait an hour before the oven. And be sure to preheat it.

I have baked Nokias back to life.

ok everything seems to have worked. looks like my data was corrupted and restoreing worked...my only issue is with my volume down button, I have to apply either a lot of pressure or tapp hard repeatedly to get the volume to go down. Also my humi stuff is still pink. as i didn't want to take the phone apart.

any suggestions for the volume button and the humi?

I will thank everyone for responding to this thread

thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stevenrogers_420:
Any residual moisture still trapped inside the board layers will slowly develop copper dendrites and kill your phone. The only way to stop the process is to bake it out. This will also dry out your humi-dots and turn them white again. It may work for now but in a couple months the problems will get worse.

Just my $.02

Edit: Check out metallic electromigration phenomena. Exactly the reason for humi-dots and not honoring warranties on phones exposed to excessive moisture..

curious how this worked out. My wife dropped hers in the toilet like...a week ago. we've been doing the rice thing....

if we did this, how do you put the phone in the oven? won't it melt? scren up or down? on a cookie sheet? pizza stone? suggestions?

It's booting up now, but it gets REALLY hot on the back of the phone, (volme rocker) side, toward the bottom if you pop the back off the phone and look there, it's just below the circle that's molded into the plastic. it'll booth and run for a minute tops and then just turn off. this alcohol idea is intriguing to me.

Water Damage Clarification Question.

I inadvertently tucked my phone into about 1" of (diet) soda from the top of the handset (bad move in the car) This was about 30 hours ago at this point.

ATT GS2 i777

I immediately shook the phone mightily and did the rice nonsense, It was not charging properly, I pressed on the battery contacts and that seems to have resolved the charging. The phone boots up, gets on my wifi, gets mail, makes noise etc. But the touch screen is COMPLETELY non-responsive.

Will an alcohol bath and a light baking session do anything to unscrew the touch screen?

Any advice would be much appreciated, I can't quite afford a new handset right now.

Many thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Well when something like this happens, u should take the phone apart, dry everything as much as possible, and like you did, put it in rice. But you have to obviously resist the urge to remove it from the rice until everything is completely dry again. Which is where it sounds like you may have gone wrong. I've heard of people having to leave it in for days before trying it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Something people like to do is put it in alcohol, then rice. Reason being that alcohol displaces water. You would have less to dry when placing it into rice. Another thing would be to then apply heat via blue dryer. While taking a rice bath.

At this point, you can try these things (removing the battery of course) but it's most likely a bit too late as Phailanx said.

Get everclear. It has a higher alcohol % and you can get drunky while you wait for your phone . win win in my book
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Except Everclear is ethanol and will combine with water to be less concentrated (its miscible with water). Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) will displace the water.

Little know fact: Everclear (95% ethanol) is the highest stable concentration you can get. Anything above 95% starts breaking back down into water until it reaches the stable 95% mark again.

Dear fellow XDA'ers,

I have recently found something on Youtube and eBay that I'm yet to see anywhere else on the XDA forum.

I'm talking about a German company that supposedly creates CNC machined bumpers and metal cases for Galaxy S2 (which is pretty rare apart from the several Korean/Chinese bumpers).

They have a Youtube account full with videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/creativdesign5

And eBay - http://stores.ebay.de/creativ-design5

Personally, I love their products but I'm wary of their legitimacy due to the lack of content or reference regarding them. Even after thorough Googl'ing, I can't find anything solid or worthwhile on them.

Maybe someone has heard of them before?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yiannisthegreek:
Those prices are INSANELY HIGH!!! 54 EURO for an aluminum bumper? I bought my SweetArmor bumpers (which in my opinion are WAY NICER) for like $11.00 CANADIAN each INCLUDING SHIPPING.

These are pretty nice but WOW... What are they lined with... GOLD, PLATINUM, TITANIUM for that price?!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eyedrop:
Where did you get your SweetArmor for $11 CAD? Would love to get one at that price to try it out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mookill:
I am quite certain these are made from China.

If you look hard enough there are identical products with different branding and cost less.

Similar to the sweet armour.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] raptorjesus1337:
I just remembered the thread with metal case lineup and had forgotten about the case that is described as IKUBA. In fact, the case is exactly the same as all the Creativ Design5 cases (for Galaxy S2 at least).

I'm not sure how I missed this first time around but I feel embarrassed now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kikoexe:
hmm.. are there other brands of this type of aluminum bumpers? the ones that does not cover the lower part of the phone as that is where the antenna is.. the problem with metal/aluminum bumpers that covers that area is that it greatly affects signal reception.. that's what happened to me when using the akiba metal slider..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tonybhoy:
cant understand why people want to cover up this beautiful phone in a case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] raptorjesus1337:
Your claim only makes sense but I am yet to see anyone else with this problem (at least in the threads that I've looked). And check IKUBA but that's the only case I know that doesn't cover speaker/antenna.

It's not gonna stay beautiful for long unless you protect it.

have anybody this bumper [Galaxy S2 Case]Mobi Crab Aluminium Metal Bumper Screen Protector i9100 Samsung?

It looks similar the same as the creative design5 bumper and cost the same. What are the difference between these bumpers: creative design5, mobicrab and ikuba. only the price???
[Galaxy S II Accessories] raptorjesus1337:
Since they look exactly the same, I'm going to assume that they are and each party has just decide to stamp their brand on it. So in terms of difference, there should be none.

debranding wildfire s

Hi. I rooted my phone and now I want to install unbranded rom. I have tried couple but they didn't work. My phone is US Tmobile, but I would like to install Europe rom, if it's possible. If the only way to do that is to make a GoldCard, can someone give me a link with instructions how to do that, because I've tried and I couldn't get it done.
[HTC Wildfire S] Origin8:
To be honest I'm not sure if it did turn S-OFF I didn't check the phone after I unlocked the bootloader. What I did was unlock the bootloader and use supertools v3 to root the phone, I did use the option to try and s-off but like I said I havent checked the phone. I will check my friends phone today and see if it successfully s-off'd the device.

I'm not sure about that your best bet is to open a thread and have a more experienced use help you out.

Here's what I find interesting... These are the same messages observed on the GalaxyS i9100. Also, this boot mode is apparently not accesible by any other means. It is possible that it is a dedicated dual-boot mode without a kernel. It would be worth researching the partition structures.

Now, if Samsung lets me keep this device, I can see what else I can do. I'd like to probe for the internal UART as well. However, this is as far as I can get without tearing the device apart. I hope this helps in the quest for Android on the Samsung Focus.

Unknown to me, a lot of the functionality doesn't work (many built in apps are territory restricted, the market doesn't work).

Se here's the problem - She's not that tech savvy, although is enough that I could guide her through a root etc, but should I:

A, Tell her to send me the USA version and I just buy her a UK version when it comes out

or

B, Will there be a way to load the standard UK ROM on to it (when its released), effectively making it a perfectly functioning UK Fire?

or

C, Is there a way to get all the functionality working on the USA version, even though she's in the UK?

MOD EDIT: BOUNTY WAS ACHIEVED AND DEVICE WAS PURCHASED

Here it is folks, the much requested bounty thread to get an amaze for Mr NRGZ28. "Who is that?" you ask, "and why should I care?" you add to your original question, causing this uncomfortably complicated sentence. Well I'm semi glad you asked! He's a totally stand up dude who sometimes also likes to sit, who has been devving for like, ever. I heard he started out on the telettrofono (look it up), and is known accross the west coast as the Rom whisperer (true story). He's currently running a sensation and making it live up to its name, but we'd like him to move up to an Amaze and work his magic. So we're chipping in to help. Here's his profie

NRGZ28

so you can stalk him. There you'll see super handy donate to me link which is like the best way possible to donate to him. So lets get going!

*IMPORTANT*

Make sure you add a note saying "for the amaze" to the donation, so he can keep track. I'll keep the thread updated with running totals when he gives them to me.

Disclaimers

So giving your money to a dev is like totally giving money away. Its gone. We hope it'll result in an amaze which will then result in awesome roms for the amaze, but no guarantees.

Harsh.. I'm sure I'll get flamed.. But check his ROM thread out..

.. or you could look at a thread where he has the phone and is actively devving, and see all the loyal followers talking about how many phones he's improved for them, and how few people have problems anyway, and haveplenty of support from the dev and all the very experienced users in the thread.

but in any case the thread is for people to donate, peeps who are not interested can kindly spend time elsewhere :D

Would love to donate when i get money. A extra dev would be lovely right now, been following the energy ROMs for a long while.

[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
That's not very nice... I don't support the ROM actively because I don't own an Amaze (obviously) and therefore I can't exactly troubleshoot problems with it. This is the reason bobbie started this thread. I support all my other threads quite a lot. But like he said.. if you don't like it, don't crap on someone else's party. It's just not nice.
