I really think the guy was using the phone in some unadvisable way to make that happen.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
(Upper left corner on the PCB)

Seems like a capacitor which blew up. Probably used some ****ty charger in his car.
[Galaxy S III General] kulzboy:
he said the holster was mainly used to hold the phone not charge it maybe he left it in the car for too long?
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
I missed that part. Capacitor blowing up just like that hrmm.

WAIT! Stupid me. That's actually a microphone. Hahaha

It seems like a capacitive microphone. Doesn't really need to be the blowup itself doing the damage but the short-circuit after it.
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
You're not the only one. I missed the part about the device still being (somewhat) functional afterwards but not having any network connection. :D

(My girlfriend was so kind as to point me to it)

As a result I've updated m conclusion that it most likely is the amplifier even tough it's seated somewhat more centered.
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
Well we all knew the phone was gonna be hot, but not this hot.

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Sounds about right. 9 million sold, a few are bound to explode statistically.

This is due to the chip in the battery malfunctioning and not regulating the charge.

Remember the exploding eye phone that make its user partially def?

[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
i was just reading this thread after being told about this, as i hadnt come across it.

I use the phone as a satnav very often and always with the car plug connector in. I actually use an HTC car connector from my previous HTC One S

do you think it might anger itself and blow it up??? haha

in all honesty though, i never use the phone without the car plug connector as we all know that satnav will drain the battery, so you go somewhere and the phone is dead after a 4 hours trip etc. Screen always on and GPS always on, you get the idea.

im just wondering if is should just pack up the second battery i have and charger and use that to charge the drained battery instead from now on...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
I noticed the other day when I was playing n64oid and fpse with sixaxis contoller app using MHL to HD adpater. Since the phone is charging and displaying on the tv as well as running 2 apps it gets pretty hot.

So I started looking for a portable fan that i could set behind my phone why using the kickstand on the case to blow some cool air on it. As well as keep me cool :p

I finally found the smallest fan ever and has really good reviews.

(click picture for where to buy)

I will update this with how it works when I get it...if it doesn't work that well then I will still use it as a portable fan.

Yes I know you can underclock but you don't want to when you are playing emulators that need lots of power!!!

Yes you can kill apps but never liked doing that....

Just thought I share in case someone had the same thought I did. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
I don't think a tiny little fan could really cool down your phone too much, nor keep you cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
you never know :p:p

Plus if it doesn't work i will just return it and get my money back :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larkhillv:
Haha, people will make anything to make a buck or two. If my phone begins to get a bit toasty, I usually just take it out of the case and lay it on a cool surface for a bit. That seems to do the trick and it's free, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Ya but not while using it :rolleyes:

Say what u will like I said if it don't work either way to my liking the I'll return it :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I'm wondering how you plan to hold the phone and the fan together?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
i was thinking of setting the fan sideway maybe a little tape on the table right behind it.. Ill will figure it out. I was originally thinking of ripping out the fan and motor and making a custom casing for it and attach it to the case somehow, but will look into it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Yeah... Seems like a kids toy. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iArtisan:
Keep us updated, looks to be an interesting purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
ya for sure it supposed to be a pretty powerful fan in a small package and many people liked it. I feel like it just might be enough fan speed to cool down my nexus i mean its not like i am trying to cool down a pc :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Aha that's true. Very interested in how you'll keep it close to the phone however.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I found a flat heatsink that could possibly be made into a back cover, but we would ideally still need some way to solidly connect it to the hot parts of the SoC. It would involve breaching the plastic "firewall" of the housing, and replacing it with a short section of copper plate (i.e. a penny). Using a little thermal compound would make it even more effective at removing heat.

Can you picture this with a cutout for the camera pod?

On the liquid cooling front, I found some USB powered water pumps and cooling block.... If your Gnex is getting this hot, you might have a problem.

Hold the phone! This is much closer to the size we need. Peltier coolers work on thermocouple effect. It might use a little power, but will actually reduce temperature on one side, by a few degrees!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MacaronyMax:
You could buy a mini fridge, then drill a hole in the front for wires:silly:

You can then also have cold drinks whilst playing your n64 games :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvw:
that's a portable fan produced by travel product maker...a friend had one but can't cooling down people much..
[General Questions and Answers] burlroof:
Hello,

My new employer is going to suit me up with the latest and greatest from either Blackberry or Apple. Can either of these devices sucessfully call record a two-way conversation? If not please recommend a cutting edge phone that can do it and is proven to work.

I remember reading that neither BB or Apple can get it done because of problems at the hardware level. Perhaps someone has written around it.

I am currently holding onto my HD2 for this reason.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi

I'm looking for solution to attach my car mount (suction cup) to the plastic Dashboard of my Mazda 3.

Anyone kno of any "possible" cheap products to do so without damaging the dashboard ?
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
I bought one of these - it sticks to the dashboard - it give the dashboard mount a smooht surface to stick to like a windscreen.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190555206879
[HTC One X] Chura:
Thanks!
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
You can buy something like the above poster linked (but make sure the area is enough for the suction cup of your holder, not all suction cups are of the same size.). or make something similar yourself. I cut a circle out of an old CD case and stuck it to the dashboard with double sided tape, didn't cost me anything and it works fine :).

EDIT: I just realized that tomtom disk is 8.5cm in diameter, should be large enough..
[HTC One X] Chura:
and also kind of cheap, and look esthetic.

[LG Nitro HD] davefootball123:
Is it possible to create a custom rom based off of LG's ICS. I have tried a few things but I end up with security error everytime I try to edit the rom. The reason I ask is because the LG rom seem much more fluid and smooth than CM9. One of the reasons I want to do this is to get rid of the annoying scrolling carrier logo on the notification bar. Anyone know how to do this?

Dave,
[LG Nitro HD] HO!NO!:
Maybe you should just wait for the real release that will come in a couple of week every one will do rom from that (for sure I will)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyleinen:
I am unable to post in the developer forum, being a relative n00b, however my problem is I do not appear to have the option to install apps in preferred location of SD-Ext.

I am running the above ROM have S-Off'd using the revolutionary method, and previously created a 4Ext partition on the SD card using GParted...

The options just don't appear to be there! Here is a breakdown of the settings path where the option should be:

Settings / Applications / the only options I have available are:

Unknown Sources [] (Checkbox)

Manage Applications : Downloaded /All / SD Card / Running

Running Services

Storage use : Downloaded / All / SD Card / Running

Battery use

Development / USB Debugging []

/ ADB over network []

/ Debug Notify []

/ Stay awake []

/ Allow mock locations []

/ Stop app via long press []

/ Device hostname

Has anyone ever come across this? What do you think the problem is?

I am going to examine the card again in Gparted to ensure it definitely is 4ext but surely I should still get the option regardless of whether 3ext or 4ext I would just get an error message if that was the problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am using the built in Sprint app to tether wirelessy via WIFI. I am wanting an application to initiate the tethering on my EVO from my tablet.

I can pay for the application, but I need it for about 5 setup. so I need it to work and work well. Is using Barncacle my only option? The reason I haven't went this way, is because you must have root to use it's wifi sharing. I have asked in other threads, but it never gets addressed.

Is there a reason for the app to read contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] LazyBrush:
Hello again,

Thanks for downloading and for the feeddback!

I use 'Scoreloop' for the online high score and it requires access to contacts. I know it sounds scary but I think that is standard for any online high score server isn't it? (I tried using GREE but it seemed very alpha when I did the port and so didn't compile!)

Yup, longer words more points. Later levels more points. Nice coloured Lexigons more points, blue and green. Bad coloured ones less points, black and red. You can tap to select letters and double tap to submit word, or much faster just slide and release to submit word makes the game very fast.

Glad you all liked it, all I need now is more downloads. I feel like Agent Smith from Matrix....MORE....

Thanks again,

Andy

I've done a little more digging why Scoreloop require, or should I say, in the integration guide said I needed to include access to contacts.
