[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonomon:
Yeah so I got jumped by two punks last night. Long story short My note ended up being taken from me and then returned in the puddle I was standing next to.

My case had a rubber plug for the headphone and USB Ports if that helps from the six dollar case.

I'm pretty sure I'm just out of the thirty days but not thirty since I exchanged my last one that was defective.

Seems to be working okay. Water damage can do weird things. what should I be looking out for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
ok, how long has it been since it was in water? First thing i would myself is to take out battery immediately. Then take it apart if i thought the water may have gone deeper. If your not too experienced with taking it apart, then i might avoid doing that part. I would just leave battery out for a little while and try not to turn it on. From my personal experience with other peoples phone is that the water will be in there and will eventually start corroding and i guess its kinda like a oxidization(?) and will make contact to other connections and will start to short.

long story short

-remove battery

-let dry for a while

-if you dont think it went deep in the phone, then I wouldnt worry too much

-from my

own

experiences usb port is the first to stop working

-then white screen(bad lcd) along with a ruined battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
The day that it doesn't turn on anymore.

I had dropped a phone in the washing machine once while it just started filling up with water. The phone didn't get very wet at all and ran like a champ for two months more. Then it died.

Hopefully the plugs on your phone will make a difference!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonomon:
Less than twelve hours. there was a very few small droplets on the outer sides under the battery case. I don't think it too deep into the phone I left the battery out with the phone in a plastic rice container and under a lamp for a few hours. I'm not having those symptoms yet. There was no water under the battery.

Is atts 30 day return policy from the date of contact or from when I exchanged the other note for a defect?

I pay for atts insurance but a two hundred dollar deductible ....

I'm on contract for two years so I need the best advice...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
I would say 30 days from the exchange from note to note. I dont know if they would change to a different device but maybe another note. Of course if they see water damage on the pads then they wouldnt let you. Just in case they are red, here is a post by the Elite dev Adam Outler.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
In my experience the 30 days starts all over with each phone. The contract does not. After 14 days your locked into the contract and can not get a reversal. The phone itself always goes by the date of purchase or replacement.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slix71:
The 30 day period is from the original sale date, I had to return a second one for a blown speaker at 10 days from my 1st return (hard brick) but 32 days from original purchase. Had to send it back to warranty when I got the replacement in the mail.

If you believe it still has water in it, take out the battery and place both the phone and battery in uncooked rice for a day. The rice will draw out any moisture.

Sounds like you will have to make a warranty claim, but if it works without issue, don't worry about that until it doesn't work anymore. You can make a claim whenever, they wont know when it happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
If you return a phone because of a factory defect within 30 days, they give you another phone. The 30 day return policy starts all over again. If you damage the phone in any way, then the same rules don't apply(especially water damage). That's the 1st thing they check for. If there's no sign of water damage(and you don't tell them), then you're covered under the return policy. Otherwise, it's gotta go through warranty. I would be honest about it. Either way you get another phone....although you will need to pay a deductible. :(

Edit: Just remember....every store is different and it depends on who you talk to. If the speaker blew due to no fault of your own, then they should've have given you another phone right then and there. If you paid a deducible then they screwed you. I returned 3 phones in the past 3 months. All were covered under the 30 day return policy from the date I received them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Hey, like said above biggest thing is that yur ok! had a similar situation happen last year didnt end up so well for me, ER trip, Neuro rehab etc but cant do anything bout it now!! Anyways, I remember my wife dropped her Isucks err Iphone in the sink while doing dishes, completely saturated. I read online that one of the best ways to soak up the water from inside the phone itself it to put it in a jar of white rice for a day or two. Its the same principle as putting rice in the salt shaker. It absorbs moisture and we did that and it worked. Had some gremlins for a minute there (phone volume changing on its own, messenger popping up randomly etc) but after a few days it was business as usual for it for another year. Hope this helps ya!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slix71:
I didn't have to pay a deductible, they just made me swap it out through the warranty dept as it was covered under warranty for the bad speaker. They made me do it that way since it was past the original 30 days from the sale. No biggie to me, I didn't pay, just had to wait a day.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonomon:
Well the battery indicator is still white. The phone didn't get completely water logged thanks to the case. Its working as of now so how would i be able to exchange it anyway. I guess ill end up doing the warranty when or if things act up. There's only one water damage indicator?

I didn't get roughed up luckily. This sounds crazy but I convinced them that what they were doing was wrong and they were only doing it cause they could cause im a little man. I also did mention i could gps track the phone. Once they threatened violence i told them to do it. Two big guys i told them i wouldn't fight back either if it made them feel better. The one with my phone ended up calling me a humble man throwing my phone in the puddle and told me where my board was so i could leave. Reverse psychology working on an intoxicated person is almost unheard of lol.

I realize i did get very lucky and it could have ended a lot worse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slix71:
I am not sure about any additional indicators. Hopefully it will be no issue. I only know of the one. Glad you talked them down from the hostility!

Here in Tampa a group of thugs jumped and beat an off duty Army Soldier when he went to get a dollar out of his wallet because they asked for some help. Glad they caught 2 of them, only a matter of time until they get the other two. Wish they could bring the thugs to his platoon or squad for some military style justice!

Hi Guys

I am changing a theme, and I've tryed to put on "redirections.xml" a redirection with new wallpapers like below:

<package-redirections android:name="com.sec.android.app.twwallpaperchooser" android:resource="@xml/com_android_wallpaper" android:minSdkVersion="7" />

And in file "com_android_wallpaper.xml" I put:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resource-redirections>

<item name="drawable/wallpaper_my_one">@drawable/wallpaper_my_one</item>

<item name="drawable/wallpaper_my_one_small">@drawable/wallpaper_my_one_small</item>

</resource-redirections>

And on folder drawable-mdpi I put the images, but no success.

Anybody knows how to add more wallpapers in CM7 theme ?

[HTC One S] orenfl:
Hi all,

I'm with an unbranded EU phone which already been updated to 1.78.

I'm still suffering from several network issues which make this phone a great screen and CPU unit but with limited and frustrating network capabilities.

I was advised by HTC to send my unit back to a software repair (they agreed the hardware is not an issue) in the Greece lab.

I already did several factory resets with no help.

I thought that running RUU of 1.53 and then w/o any software installation and w/o SIM run the OTA to 1.78.

Is it wise?

Is it possible?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] ovimunt:
You can only run an RUU and/or and OTA after you've returned the phone to stock, i.e. use a custom recovery to flash an image of the stock ROM (1.53 or 1.78, it doesn't really matter but I guess you want the 1.53), then use fastboot to flash a stock recovery and then you may also need to relock the bootloader.

After this process you can either run an RUU on it or just do the OTA, both methods will be fine and the phone will no loger say TAMPERED but it will say RELOCKED so it will not be 100% as it left the factory in terms of warranty and as of now there is no way to get around that.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you dont need stock recovery, Just relocked bootloader and a stock ROM.. Stock as in NOT MIUI or CM9,,, more like a HTC ROM ...
[HTC One S] ovimunt:
Umm.. didn't work for me until I also flashed stock recovery... Plus, if he's sending it back to a service centre I guess it's a good idea to have it as close to stock as possible. Just my opinion, anyway...

EDIT: Well, I guess the RUU and/or OTA will overwrite the recovey anyway...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yeah i always thought we needed stock recovery, but i flashed the new Vodafone UK RUU the other day over CWM and it worked :)

But yes, it overwrites the recovery anyway so i guess it doesnt matter which way you do it
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Guys,

Thanks a lot - I might didn't put enough details:

I'm on stock, never rooted that phone or opened it via HTCDev.

It's as if it was just bought from store and OTA to EU 1.78.

I wish to stay unrooted and w/o HTCDev intervention.

I'm still interested in going back to 1.53 (via RUU probably) and then redoing the OTA to 1.78 w/o SIM so it might result in better situation than I'm currently, network wise...

What do you say, can I run RUU on unrooted untouched new phone?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yes you sure can !!!
[HTC One S] antifish:
You dont need stock rom, i flashed ruu 1.78 over custom rom, with stock recovery / bootloader relock. it was a sense based rom, perhaps it wont work over a aosp rom

Gesendet von meinem HTC One S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I know I don't need, yet I'm still with the original stock ROM as if I just got out of MobileZon store (5 weeks old phone)...

Thanks!
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I tried running the 1.53.401 Europe RUU with no success as I got error 140 - incorrect Bootloader.

where do I check my bootloader?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you cant downgrade with RUU only upgrade

unless you have S-OFF thats why you get the error
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Thanks.

So all I can do now is wait for the next OTA and hope for good?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yup thats the only way...

are you having issues ? if so what are they ? there may be a different solution we can try
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I'm having cellular network issues.

I might wait for the OTA or Root it and try one of the roms.

Thanks a lot!
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I will, sorry.

Although the difference between the general and Q&A is not that clear...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
what radio do you currently have ? 0.16 is the latest

if you have a older radio there is a guide on how to upgrade it. There are also newer RUU's being released with the new radio included. Thats how i got mine, cause the OTA didnt work for me
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I've already updated OTA 1.78 so I also got the 0.16 radio - is there any newer one?

Also, will I be able to update RUU 1.78 on my already 1.78 phone?
[HTC One S] kuroyume_cl:
Did you ever manage to fix this?

My phone became unusable as a phone after it got the 1.78 OTA
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I didn't but you might try running the RUU while the phone is in fastboot status.

I'm not sure if the RUU will be able to get the phones data to block you from downgrading...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
Mainly Verizon bloat. If you freeze or delete anything that was installed when you pulled it out of the box, the OTA will fail.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ivanstein:
I froze some of the bloat, but unfroze it and the OTA won't work. I have been trying several approaches, but am at the point of using RSD to flask back to the first rom and OTA up to current. Lots of work, little time. Is there a better solution?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mataraty:
Perhaps a temp-unroot with ota rootkeeper can do the trick.

You are sure you did not freeze or deleted anything? Because that should not affect the message that there is an update.

It should only cost the update installation to fail for as far I experianced.

Download one of the GB stock RUU files, rename it and place it on your external sd card and reboot into HBoot, it should automatically detect the file and take your entire phone back to complete stock, there shouldn't be any stops from updating.

No clue where recovery files go on the amaze or we could do it via recovery, just retry flashing stock recovery, if not we'll have to wait until someone pulls the file and makes a zip file to flash it, did you try flashing the recovery using the tool while the phone was in fastboot?
