That's how I feel when I see the same comments over and over,but at the same time I got tired of paying for cellphones,I have spent thousands of $$$ in the las 7 years; although I really like th SG2 and the Galaxy Nexus,done with buying the latest and the greatest,but I totally see your point.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
To the OP, in your other thread you said you were tired of people not respecting your contributions.

You have to earn respect in here. Do you think the first day this phone came out and the 4 or five of us that started out on here, knew anything about each other or had any respect for what any of us could do? No we didn't, we started out slow and cautious because just like today we had no way back or out of a bootloop or a brick.

We just started to put our heads together and make posts asking things like "hey can you guys take a look at something and help me verify it works or not". Not just jumping in an saying hey guys I am your savior here you go I tested and it works...

Look how well that just went for me here in the last week... not well, as you can see, I should have asked for 10 volunteers and done a short testing period with them to see if it worked and that ALL of them could fxz back. That is what a good dev does, and what I usually do.

What you need to do if you want to help is leave the heavy lifting for those of us that have been doing this for a while now, and just take a breath and help answer some peoples requests for help, and not make re-posts and post a new thread trying to help but not really helping and making more of a mess. Once you get more involved in the community and people start to learn your contributions you can start doing more and more and you will get more and more respect.

I have been trying to nicely help you out here on several occasions, so I hope this clicks / helps you to understand how best to get started. You will get much more respect for doing the things I have mentioned here, rather than what you have been doing.

Just my 2 pennies, and I am sure others on here feel much the same way.

Hi everyone, im looking for a ad hoc enabler for my phone to be able to connect to my pc's internet via ad hoc. I use a broadband usb modem to connect to internet on my pc so i obviously dont have wifi at home. Using usb internet pass through is quite annoying as i must have a usb cable connected to my phone the whole time. so can anyone recommend a 100% working app for me?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
What is your OS on your PC? I know Windows has the ability to create an ad hoc network using the wifi card of the PC. No special app needed. Go to the Network control panel, click Add, and select Ad Hoc network.
[HTC EVO 3D] jkeyz1121:
hi coal :D yeap im on windows, i can create ad hoc with wifi but i thought android cant detect ad hoc wifi on default? dont we need a rooted app for it?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:

would you be so daring enough as to try installing WiFi Ad Hoc enabler v1.8 and see if it works? LOL im scare it might mess up my wifi and i have no idea how to fix it.

Lool honestly im not i just dont see the point of updating my barely useable laptop anyways, forgot to update here. I used zt ad hoc switcher and got my phone to detect ad hoc, surprised both wifi ad hoc enabler and manually overwrite wpa_supplicant failed but this app works fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] slide83:
So I accidently dropped my phone in water yesterday. I immediately powered it off and when I got home a couple of hours later, disassembled it, dried it off best I could and put the components in rice overnight. Today I reassembled and it will not turn on at all. I took it back apart and put it back in the rice.

I'm seriously screwed if this phone is dead. I REALLY can't afford $600.00 for a new one. I might have to buy a damn flip phone and lose my unlimited VZ data if I can't get it to work....

Is there anywhere out there that repairs phones like this? Anyone got a tip that might bring it back to life? I'm desperate!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freemeech:
Here's a tip...stop using your phone around water...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sabre31:
Or get a job to afford a new one. There isn't much you can do otherwise. Leave it in rice again for 24 hours see what happens but it doesn't sound good.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] wavrunrx:
putting the phone in a bag of rice overnight isnt enough. put more rice in the bag, zip it up, and stick it somewhere that gets sun, youll want at least 3-4 days.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] G1_enthusiast:
Still in 30 days period ? Make sure u dry it up then exchange it

Phone have sensors now internally where they can tell if the phone had water damage there is no way to change that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fishfuzz:
I would try to find silica packs instead of rice. And yes, you will want to leave this in a warm dry spot for at least a week. Even then, there may be corrosion which will forever affect the device.

If you can't find a quart sized bag of silica baggies, then change the rice daily.

I am going to make your day if u used American express to buy your phone. They have a 90 no question asked insurance policy included with every purchase. Check if your credit card has the same feature. They also add 1 year warranty to everything u buy too. I use it for big purchases and save money by not adding store ought warranties
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] McAwesome:
Probably too late now but that's why they sell insurance. Then your only out the deductible. I rarely get insurance but on a phone that retails for 600+ I went for it. Anyway hindsights 20/20 so gl with the rice.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Speedin07si:
1st thing you did wrong is drop the phone in water. 2nd thing was trying to turn it on. Could of made it worse.

Like said before leave it in a bag of rice or something similar for a few days. There may be small chance of hope.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] The_Biz:
If you have it apart, put everything except the battery and screen in some 97% alcohol. Just for a minute, then let them dry out. The alcohol will push the corrosion and water away from the parts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lviv73:
My son put my GS2(Epic Touch) in the toilet a few times.I took it apart,dried it out with paper towel first then put it in the oven for 2 minutes.

When i was sure it was fully dry,i put it back together,put the battery back in and BOOM it still worked!

Stop listening to these fools who know next to nothing about electronics,first thing you do after your phone been in water take out the battery and dont push the power button.Take it apart and dry it out like i did but dont over cook it in the oven.That rice thing will surelly corode your phone inside and rarely works.

After i did this everything stlil worked,except one thing-the power button,lol.Power button workes only one time-to turn the phone on but after the phone is on it doesnt work any more.So in order for me to turn on the screen i would have to wait untill someone calls or txt me or plug the phone in the usb so i can unlock the screen or battery pull.I suspect this happened because my girl when she found the phone wet tried to turn it on to see if it worked and she shouldnt have.

Anyways without power button working that made my phone almost useless-almost.

I put two screws in back cover and mounted the phone by my son's bed,i plugged it in the outlet that was connected to a light switch.So if i want to turn the phone on i simply hit the light switch and the screen will light up so i can unlock it.

Now my 2 year old son has a mini tv by his bed so he can watch cartoons and play games,this is something that i used to dream of when i was a kid,lol.

Yeah he is right,i forgot to mention aclcohol-it helps i did that to but dont soak it in alcohol!Take a q-tip,soak it in alcohol and go over the electronoc board carefully,make sure none of the cotton got caught in the chips.

What i did i just went over the metal strip that connected the phone to the screen with alcohol to make sure it had good contact.

The key is to put the phone parts in the oven including the screen to let it get hot enough to evaporate any left over water

without melting the parts.

I put it in for about 2 minutes on 500 degrees.I took it out when the phone was almost too hot to touch-almost too hot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blissid:
should have blow dried it soon as you opened it up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lviv73:
Oh and forget about rice-thats what the oven is for.Or if you dont know or scared about using the oven and overcooking the phone,just use a hair dryer.

Put it on the highest heat setting and start heatting the phone parts untill they are too hot to touch.

Rice is the last resort option for thing that you cant dissasemble,if you can take it apart and dry it out there is no need for rice-ever.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SamsungVibrant:
Let me guess...No Insurance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lviv73:
When you take apart the phone and dry it out there is no longer need for rice.Now if you had a unibody phone that was hard/impossible to take a part or put back together then that would call for the bag of rice to slowly soak up the water.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mrRobinson:
I've had to deal with a few devices that hit water, luckily not my own. I've never had success with rice. Doesn't really get the internals. I put an oven on like 120. if your oven doesn't go that low then leave door open a bit a put on lowest setting.

put phone on silica cookie sheet so it isn't touching metal that could be hotter.

Basically this oven heat won't be hot enough to damage phone, if you left phone on your car dashboard it could get hotter, however it is dry heat and will suck the humidity right out of it. I'd do 5-15 minutes, being that you've dried it for a day you might only need 5 min now. if you see condensation on inside of screen then leave it till it evaporates.

Take out and let cook to room temp. The inside will take longer to get to room temp so after the outside is cool wait another half hour.

put in battery and give it a shot.

if it still doesn't power on than the water short circuited something. also don't use the battery that got wet as that may have been damaged as well.

if a new battery also won't power it (or test with no battery and usb cable to see if it takes power), then call samsung repair center. you can mail to them and they will tell you cost to fix it. It'll be less than $600 but if they have to replace whole system board could be a 100-200. Still best option though at that point.

So I tried the alcohol and oven techniques... no dice. The LED lights up when I plug in the charger cable but the screen doesn't come on at all. I guess I'm going to explore my options with the Samsung repair center and credit card warranty.

Thanks for the advice so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lviv73:
This is the only thing my GS2 Epic touch is good for now.I revived it after it been in the toilet but it was never the same.

Power button only works to turn on the phone and doesnt work at all after the phone is on.Only way for me to turn on the screen is to plug it in,receive call or battery pull.I found a way around it,i just plugged the phone in the outlet that is connected to the light switch.I just use the light switch as the power button.

Since my son put it in the toilet i decided to let him have it.Why couldnt he throw my girl's original Epic in toilet instead of my GS2?Oh well that made me get GS3, i still like Amoled Plus on GS2 better.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EndlessDissent:
There may be local cell phone repair shops around you.

I dropped my Evo 4G in a bowl of water, and after drying it out with rice and whatnot, my screen was borked. The phone would turn on and boot, but the colors on the screen were messed up. Then, eventually, the screen stopped working at all. I took it into Sprint, but they wouldn't touch water damage. I found a local repair shop, and they said all they could do was clean it out. I figured it was worth a shot, so I let them, especially since they were gonna charge half price if it didn't work. When I picked up my phone, the guy started telling me it didn't work and the phone was a goner. My heart sank and crumbled. Then, he went to demo it, and not only did it turn on, the screen was perfect again. Plus, since he had originally thought my phone was dead, he charged me half price and didn't change it when the phone worked. I was stoked.

TL;DR: A local repair shop might be able to help. Tell them what happened, and ask if they can try cleaning it out.

Hey everyone, I just purchased a new note from Telus in Canada and I love it. It was quite a substantial upgrade from my old x10. With the x10 it was almost a MUST to use a custom rom to get it working at a satisfying speed. I'm just wondering if thats the case with the Note, is there a substantial increase in performance with the roms? I dont mind touchwiz but I think i would prefer stock android or CM. All of this was pretty easy to do with the x10 but i'm feeling pretty lost right now, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
