This is a repost from Android Software and Hacking General forum, it seems like it may be better suited here.

I really need some advice ASAP.. Thanks in advance...

I have a very unique situation.

I dropped my phone in the trash at work(IT Company), accidentally one day, and a small amount of disturbingly gross liquid managed to make it's way into my phone.

I wiped it down, made sure it didn't smell like crap - etc.

Everything worked FINE at first, I said ah, good. Apparently it was not not good.

Now, the phone gets stuck in a loop where it thinks to itself it's charging for a second, then it's not, keeping the screen on and flashing the charging notification repetitively until it decides to stop for an hour, then come back.

Radioshack screwed me over BIG TIME on my phone insurance, I filed a ripoff report etc, and given I need my phone for work related issues I really cannot afford to have any downtime having it be sent in and repaired. NO, I cannot receive an immediate replacement, and NO, I cannot afford another phone.

So, therefore I come to you, my great friends at XDA.

I've a fairly decent background in programming, I understand the just of it. I've taken classes in ASM(Microcomputer Architecture and Programming), C/Java and Python.

And no, I'm not a college-fed programmer, I've been programming in VB, C/C++, PERL etc. since I was 13(22 now.)

So, to the specifics:

My phone is a Samsung Transform Ultra, Android 2.3, rooted and running a "ROM" if you could call it that, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference(just installed it to get rid of CIQ)

Now, I've never wrote a mobile app before but I have the android SDK (1.6-4.0), and I'm fairly certain I could get a hello world going in a matter of minutes.

I'm willing to do the research myself, I just need some good pointers and some people who might be able to answer a few questions along my journey, and when the app is done I will be releasing it in full, yes, to you XDA.

Programming costs time, replacing the phone costs money. I have more time than money.

Best regards!

Have you tried taking the phone apart and putting the pieces in rice overnight? Might still have moisture somewhere shorting some of the triggers. I had an evo that did this and I took it apart and submurged the phone into dry rice...

Now after you tried that, or you think its pointless you are going to have to edit the kernel. But you might not. I don't have a phone with me to look through the bits.

There might be a sys option to disable the port but I doubt it.

Can also looking into /dev and see where the device is and turning it off and of course wouldn't be able to use a usb or charge until a reboot.
[Android] thebotnet:
Thanks for the quick response, lithid.

I haven't done the rice yet, because yes - i've been too broke to go out and buy rice. But maybe today after class and such I'll run to Albertsons and pick some up and give a shot.

If you have any recommendations on where to start and get familiar with Android programming, that will be greatly appreciated as well. I'm sure there's some online start-up tutorials somewhere, more than likely residing on these forums I'm just not aware of where they might be.

I hate Java, but unfortunately for Android it's the only way to go and I'll have to learn to like it.
[Android] lithid-cm:
Your going to need the kernel source for your phone, and your going to need to read the sticky on the top of this sub section.

Also check the kernel for battery options..

ls /sys/module/msm_battery
[Android] thebotnet:
Thanks again, Lithid. I will do that as soon as I'm off work. I will probably update this thread in a day or two after I get some time to investigate this issue a bit more.

Best regards.
[Android] ranger4740:
Hi, I'm in to electronics quite a lot, I'd say that you have some sticky residue shorting something out there, I don't think sticking it in rice is gonna fix it, might need to actually wash it with water or switch cleaning fluid, but that might not be a good idea as switch cleaning fluid can melt some plastics. If you've pulled phone apart obviously it wont be powered up so a bit of water to wash off the residue shouldnt hurt, so long as u dry it out compleatly before u power up again.... good luck.
[Android] lithid-cm:
The rice part is to dry it completely. It has worked before on small electronics like my phone before.
[Android] thebotnet:
Hey Lithid, I was actually wondering, there could be a a simpler approach than actually trying to modify the way the usb charging works.

Is there simply a way to disable the screen coming on and the notification sound when you plug it in/unplug it? If that's the case I'd like to do something like that.

I figure this would be easier to apply, because those notifications aren't device specific I'd assume.

Best regards.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
This is the most frustrating feature because I somehow manage to unlock my phone all the time while the phone is in my pocket. There has got to be some setting in build.prop or somewhere where I can disable or override this function, right? Anybody know what I need to do?

Hey guys I just wanted to share my experience so here it goes.

I just bought an AT&T Unlocked Veer. I've been with AT&T for two years. I got on the support chat on AT&T's website and asked the lady for unlock codes for two phones, my veer and my Atrix 4G. The Atrix went without a hitch she had it in like two mins but the Hp Veer was a different story but in no way was it a hassle. This is what happened...After I got the code for the Atrix I asked her for the code to the Veer, so I gave her my IMEI and she said one moment and then she messaged back saying that the phone is able to be unlocked but that the code wasn't in her system. I've read online all about AT&T not having the codes so I expected this. But then the lady said I'm gonna start a case for you so someone with more access can possible retrieve the code for you. I'm like awesome. So she sets up the case and thats pretty much it. In four days (today) I received an email with all the info and the unlock code. =] (They ask for a number to contact but just ask if they can do it by email.)

I don't know if this is common knowledge but I thought I would post about it so people can find out.

Im attaching a text document to show you guys what the email consisted of.

I have removed all personal information.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLoveHateLegend:
Okay, so I'm generally new to using SetCPU but I feel it could greatly help improve the performance of my device. That being said, I want to create a few profiles and was wondering if I could get a little help doing so. I'm not sure if this matters or not, but I'm running the Legendary ERA 2.2 rom + the latest Samurai SEPPUKU kernel.

Basically, these are the kind of profile's i'd like to setup:

- General profile, just for the usual facebooking and texting.

- General profile for just listening to music via last.fm/Winamp

- General profile for just for playing games

And finally... A profile to do all of the above without murdering my battery TOO much. As well as a profile for when my phone is not in use, to conserve battery.

I'd like to save as much battery as possible in the process of these things. The last time I tried to screw with SetCPU I ended up getting tons of random reboots, which completely made me change my mind about the app. With help on figuring these things out, I'll be able to come to a general understanding of what my settings should be for certain things and I'll be able to setup my own profiles for anything else I may need. Sorry for the long post, and for being such a newbie, but I hope I can get a little help here(:

Side-note: Also, I was wondering how you guys like the Shadow Kernel, as opposed to Samurai. So far, my ROM and kernel have been doing all that I've been needing them to do, so I haven't really felt the need to try it out. So any feedback regarding it would be nice, because I might be willing to give it a shot.

Really sorry if this is asking too much.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I'm sorry but your thread title is not in the form of a question. Thanks for playing our game though.

LOL.

But to answer your question, if you want to conserve as much battery as possible set each profile for the least max frequency you can stand.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
I know that listening to music the cpu usually sticks to 200-400 mhz so if your not using the touchscreen and just shuffling id make your music profile 100-400 and when your on facebook or the screen is on id use 100-800 1000 if you need some extra speed ;). And for gaming id keep it around 1.2-1.5 if you need that much like emulators use a lot of cpu power I know cuz I still get lag at 1.4-.15 on n64oid. Also if you do go with emulatora sixaxis control app will be a must allows you to reconfigure your bluetooth stack as a address and you can then change ur ps3 controllers bt address to pair with ur phone. As for a general profile id use just the typical 100/1000 and undervolt as low as possible for example I do this

100 -200

200 -175

400 -150

800 -100

1000 -75

1100 -75

1200 -50

1400 -25

1500 none

Notice I don't use 600, 900, and 1300 cuz those crap my phone up for some reason don't follow these exactly as each phone is different just an example just test em and see how you fair.

Btw Voltage Control is WAY better ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLoveHateLegend:
Thank you Biggoron, I'm going to get rid of SetCPU and grab voltage control now :p

And thank you for the suggestions, I just want to make my battery last as long as possible without having to go charge it every 5 minutes xD I'll give your suggestions a shot!

Also, I tried to read up on the undervolting/overclocking thread and ended up getting really lost. I'll have at it again, but for the most part could you give me a brief explanation of on demand, powersave, conservative, etc.. and which would be best for the ways I use my phone (stated in first post). Sorry for the hassle, I'm still learning! Haha x)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Govenros are basically how the cpu runs frequencies and depending on the gov it varies like ondemand it may ramp it up to the top when touch input is applied but drop down when its not needed. Conservative will keep it as low as possible unless you start using it and then it will slowly move up and the others are vairants of the two really there's a thread some where if you google it.

Id say lagfree if your gaming, ondemand for facebook, and conservative for music ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLoveHateLegend:
Ahhhh dude your such a lifesaver, seriously. Thank you so much =)

Also, are virus protection programs worth having on my phone? I always considered them a waste of time, but nowadays I'm hearing a lot about them. What's your personal opinion on that? And also are there anymore apps you'd reccomend?

Edit: Also, what voltage should I use for when I'm asleep (phone inactive), or asleep (downloading stuff (like ROMs, etc.)?

Sorry for all the hassle haha, you've been such a help.

As for virus protection unless you watch an extended amount of pron then I wouldn't worry ;)

For the most part if you stay away from black markets for apps you should be good especially those in which require root access.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SpyroG921:
Hi everybody, I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod on my Motorola droid (verizon) and all of my texts have disappeared. This has never happened before. the last time i saw them all my messaging app force closed. I had somewhere around 2,000 texts in one thread, and that's it, i had been deleting the other threads. I use SMS backup but didn't restore texts from yesterday.

My question is, is there any possible way to go into the folders and find the actual data of the texts? and then restore them from the root of the sd card? i found this potential location " /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db " but i can't find it in Astro.

thanks all for your help in advance.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] TexasRules777:
Well my droid razr was rooted and bootstrapped and i didn't have any issues. Just make sure that you haven't deleted any of the stock apk's . You should always just freeze them with titanium then un freeze when ready to update. I used ota rootkeeper to keep my root intact after the update. I've heard you should RSD back to 744 then take the ota to 748 then proceed to be safe so i would have rsd and a bootstrap file handy just in case ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
Viewing PDFs on the A500 would seem to be a proper use of the tablet and the Tegra2 processor should provide a lag-free experience but in my opinion, the ability of the A500 to display PDFs is severely lacking.

Reading just about any PDF other than those that are text only will start off good but, after reading 20 pages or so, the change to the next page will begin to lag and basically freeze or display the page in an unresolved state (blurry) until it finally pops in to focus. This can take 10-15 seconds or more sometimes.

The only solution is to reboot.

I've been reading several magazines and it happens on all of them from Maximum PC, Scientific American, etc. Note that all the magazines I read are my own personal subscriptions or are archives as provided by the vendor in PDF format so these are not warez copies.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat, Documents to Go, Quickoffice, and the LumiReader. All perform poorly so it's got to be the hardware. These PDFs display quickly on my main PC.

Does everyone see this crappy PDF performance or have a solution?
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Can you upload a troublesome .PDF for others to test.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I currently use ezPDF reader (I think it was one of those 10-cent sale deals in the Market). It does great even on complicated PDFs. That being said, I've never had any problem with Docs2Go either.

One of the first things I do when I buy something that's semi-complicated/sophisticated is see if there's a manual for it in PDF format, and then I have it on my tablet for future reference. I used to do the same with my phone, and prior to that with my Palm PDA. It wasn't until this tablet that it was remotely reasonable to read some of those manuals, as they're pretty complicated with text, graphics, diagrams, screenshots, etc. One or two are almost 400 pages long each.

I'm willing to try any "problem" PDF on ezPDF reader. Just link to it somewhere and I'll let you know.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I too agree with the above poster: ezPDF is plenty fast and it works when nothing else does. Perhaps it's worth trying?
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
I use the A500 daily to show clients catalogs showing products from heavy graphics PDF files using EzPDF. Never a problemn nor any perception of lag.

I properly index and bookmark my files and after the customers do some viewing on their own the reaction is usually "cool, where do I get one of these"... Sure beats fumbling through paper.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I have a lot of schematics/service manuals in PDF form on my tablet and have never had a problem with viewing them with Docs2Go. I will admit that usually I just read the relevant pages I need and don't ever read more than 20 or so, that may be why I don't have any issues. I'll try to flip through some of my thicker manuals and see if it starts to hang with me.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
Common problematic PDFs are, for example, CPU Magazine or Maximum PC here:

http://www.computerpoweruser.com/DigitalIssues/ComputerPowerUser/CP____1202__/ Unfortunately, you have to load this display page first then click the download arrow on the left side.

http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC_2011_11-web.pdf This is a direct link to the PDF.

Feel free to browse to those pages manually if you don't want to simply click on a link in a posting!

Either of those will start off good but, by page 20 or so, they really start to lag and make reading the second half of the magazine a chore.

I'll take a look at ezPDF and see how it does. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
I've pretty slick performance with Adobe Reader. Is your PDF non-standard?
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
I downloaded the Maximum PC pdf from your link.....Tested in lumiread, Officesuite,

PDF to Go and QuickOffice Pro....

Not seeing the lag your getting ....Ive went page by page and worst case --only takes maybe 2-3 seconds to load a full page ad on any of the readers. Tried it in both landscape and portrait using full screen and zoom...

If you haven't tried it....reboot your machine and test it again.

Another thought is if you have them stored on a sd card or usb stick that is faulty may be causing a problem.

Also I found that if I up the CPU to 1400MHz from the stock 1000MHz it does seem to speed load time for each page.

I'm on a stock 3.2.1 rooted rom with a custom kernel for over-clocking when needed.

For real use adobe reader.....

[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Using ezPDF I scrolled/paged all the way through page 60 of Maximum PC with no real significant lag. Going through the full page images in the NAS reviews was the slowest, but that only meant it would take a full second to load the page, which I wouldn't call that lag as it would've likely taken longer if viewing the same on a web page.

I would try ezPDF, and if you still get lag then there's something wrong with your tablet. I'm currently running a rooted but otherwise stock HC 3.2.1 ROM. I did remove some bloat apps myself, but I'm running the stock kernel so it's not overclocked.
[Acer Iconia A500] veer01_42:
Ive been pdf reading on the iconia a500 for some time now, using lumiread, adobe and ezpdf and even the document reader for ICS and no lag here.

I'm thinking there is a rogue process slowing ur sys over time. Factory reset ur sys, run all the official updates (if ur rooted, used the rooted official updates not the custom ones)

Then install just your pdf apps and try reading, see what happens, if it runs lag free, start reinstalling your apps, with the most essential ones first and keep and eye open for performance degradation.
[Acer Iconia A500] zcostilla:
I just downloaded your trouble PDF but I had no difficulty at all. It have to agree that it is most likely a software issue. Are you rooted? If so you may want to do a dirty flash (install your ROM again without wiping data or cache). It may be a ROM bug too, but then the devs would likely have a lot of people submitting the same issue. However, if its an app conflict a dirty flash probably won't fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dizmatic:
RepliGo Reader is also great for PDF. It even let you full screen your PDF.
