[Defy General] sukano1:
When I first got my Defy I was confident enough (still having return warranty) to stir some cocktails with it to prove to my workmates it was water-proof.

Recently I got it back from a complete overhaul & repair due to the speaker bug and button backlights not working, and in the process the rubber lining of the battery compartment was also exchanged. After a short kajak tour where I had confidently kept it in my pants pocket that had gotten fairly wet but never submerged into water I noticed I heard the other end only very silently, and when trying to charge it constantly toggled the connection, but I still did not think of anything bad. Only the next morning I noticed foggy spots underneath the screen, and when I took out the battery there were a few tiny drops of water inside!

Luckily, after drying it completely everything still seems to work, so I was either pretty lucky or the Defy (while obviously not 100% water-tight) is rather water-resistant :)
[Defy General] jomochito:
I went swimming for approx 1 hour having the defy in my back pocket (i really forgot it there, no joke!). But it's important to keep the interior clean. Dust particles can decrease the waterproofness.

cheers jomochito
[Defy General] veddandekar:
I never used my defy when I go swimming :D. I dont think its waterproof anymore cause the headphone cover is a bit lose now.....

I only know it can stand the heavy rain here :D
[Defy General] vicky_:
it is advisable to not to test the phone if the flaps come loose

Hi,

Yes u are correct, It is not proper to test the water-proof-ness of the phone if either of the flaps (head phone and USB ) comes loose. That is the points where water would enter the phone. Provided that the backcover is properly cleaned now and then to remove the accumulated dust particles.:cool:

Only if there was a way to have the two flaps intact like they were when out of the box....:confused:
[Defy General] jing95916:
oh. i see
[Defy General] koerc:
Had good experience over the last months but on our last rafting tour water entered the defy. Looked like the battery cover wasn´t closed properly. Does anybody have a good cleaning / descramble manual to clean and dry it?

Is it possible to open the phone and then mount it again and keep (make it again) waterproof)?
[Defy General] ppero196:
Rice FTW.

Put your phone in the jar of rice and leave it overnight!
[Defy General] veddandekar:
Please tell me your not serious!!!!
[Defy General] Steveletack:
Rice soaks up water
[Defy General] mobile.dev:
Water resistant? not in my experience

My daughter dropped her Defy+ in the toilet (:eek:).

It was submerged in the abyss of 15cm of water for less than a minute.

Wiped with a towel it looked OK: the covers were secure and no water or vapor was visible.

But in the morning humidity accumulated inside the camera lens and a weird white margin was forming around the edges of the screen.

In hindsight, :rolleyes: I should have put it immediately with silicon packs / rice - which is what I'm doing now (fingers crossed).

Apparently the warranty doesn't cover water damage - so what was the point of buying this phone in the first place? :confused:

PS, my own previous phone was HTC Hero. It was dropped on concrete and asphalt without a silicon cover, suffered spills and rain, and kept going as if nothing happend. :cool:
[Defy General] Confidential:
actually, i'm quite afraid to drop a single drop of water on this phone, because of 2 reasons

1) i am not a calm enough person to do this, this is the only Normal phone i will have for the near future (couple of years or so). (also a shame cuz new games are becoming incompatible with my Defy+)

2) the back seal doesn't look safe enough, if i put pressure on the seal it looks more sealed if i have it released, when it's released it looks like it have a big enough gap (any gap is big enough) to have water flow through it,

could some body who dunked his phone and took it w/o damage show me a couple of pictures showing how big the gaps should be on the seals/covers? (back seal, micro usb and headphone seal)
[Defy General] koerc:
lol, sounds really funny, may work when the moon is in the right phase ;)

In my case things got worse. I had condensed water all over the backside of the display. After having good experiences in the past I soaked the phone in destilled water before the river water could dry in and let it dry again.

After 2 days now it seemed dry and I was really nervous about testing.

But the phone started. I was so proud about this tough peace of hardware.

Finally I noticed some strange reflections on the screen when viewing in a sharp angle, but I can live with that. Makes an unique touch.

In the end I noticed that my touch-screen is reacting strange. Being good in the middle, starting to get bad on the outsides of the screen (not racting, or reacting on the wrong spot).

Again the question: Does anybody have a serious cleaning manual or screen replacement manual?

thx.

You just mock with my rice idea. Believe me...when you lost your phone in 2m of salt water for 1 hour you will remember me...

[Defy General] zakoo2:
yeah, (uncooked) rice is a known "tool" for drying out electronic devices that got wet... just leave it in there for a couple of days (disassembled of course), and if it has any chance of working again (meaning there is no short), this will do the trick.
[Defy General] gmaster1:
Anyone would tell you to put it in rice. You know you fight fire with fire...well fix the water with more water :p

[Defy General] marhensa:
you guys seems dont believe with unusual method right?

but believe me, in my country rice method is a standard cheap method to dry electronic device which got into water.

but remember, on dry uncooked rice.

even people here is funny,

when they got fruit (like mango) which is not mature enough to eat, they put it on a uncooked rice for a few days, and then the fruit gets mature and taste like mature fruit..

idk..

....

and do you guys know,

another unusual method i did on my defy?

when you drop defy very-very hard,

the screen will got many black spots defect because of that shock.

just put in freezer overnight (but seal it first with vacuum plastic, and remove the battery)

and... black spots on lcd is gone..

i already did that, works like a charm.

true story, i have a photos of it.

idk what physics scientific explanation of it, but it just works.

The freezer thing works by taking the heat out of it. It gains jeat when dropped. But it still sounds wierd

[Asus Transformer TF700] cjhod1:
So, received my TF700T in the post today. Got all excited, went to start it up, and nothing....

Has been on charge for 3 hours now, and I still get nothing when trying to start it up.

The orange light near the power button is on, indicating the battery is charging, but no matter what I do, whether I hold the volume down with power, hold both volume buttons and power, it won't start up / boot.

The strange thing is, when I first tried to start it up, it wouldn't load, so I plugged it into power, and I got the ASUS post screen, then it turned off almost immediately (I presume as it had insufficient power). Since then, I have not even been able to get the ASUS post screen. If I hold the power button for 10 seconds, it will vibrate after 10 seconds, then nothing happens.

I have tried all the volume + power buttons described above, as well as trying to reset button.

Is the tablet DOA? Any suggestions for ways I might be able to get it started?
[Asus Transformer TF700] crystalstylez:
Try putting a pin in the pin hole above the HDMI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cjhod1:
Tried this already, and just tried again now. Nothing!

Its weird that if I hold the power button in for at least 10 seconds, at about the 10 second mark, the tablet vibrates, but nothing happens.

The charger light is now green on the tablet, and still nothing. Has been on charge for 5.5 hours now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Unfortunately, It sounds like a DOA. It happens. Good to know now then 6 months down the road.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
This...

Exchange it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
Haha, good old DOA. Mine took 6 weeks and the store gave up and just gave me store credit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvdwaal:
Return it!

I had exactly the same: on first boot it turned off after splash logo and I needed to use reset button to restart again.

long pressing just makes it vibrate but nothing more

And when it started, it crashed and rebooted all the time. Sometimes it went black and I had to reset it again

My replacement works perfectly, so yes it's a semy-DOA :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] cjhod1:
JB have the Infinity in stock now, so you can use your JB voucher towards that if you wanted ;)

Thanks for the replies all, I'll send it off this morning and update once I hear back from the seller (the joys of international dealings).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Apollo73:
Mine bricked with the same exact symptoms after a week. Worked flawlessly up to that point. Waiting on the replacement to ship...
[Asus Transformer TF700] bezendra:
hi,

I was gonna open a new thread since my problem is based on charging but this thread pretty much is for the same use.

I got my tf700t yesterday through a friend visit from US. It has been nearly 2 weeks since he got it and he never charged the tab since he wasn't much of a user. So yesterday he brought it to me (i'm in TURKEY btw) and the tab was working pretty properly. But it's charge was near %4 so i plugged it on to its dock and plugged the usb charger to the dock via my PC. I just saw on the tabs screen that its charging so i left it there for like 12 hrs since it was its first charge. Then after nearly 12 hrs later this morning, i disconnected the charger and saw that the tab was off. I tried to turn it on but just like cjhod1 says, I got the ASUS post screen, then it turned off almost immediately. Different then cjhod1's case, no matter i plug on the charger or not my battery led near the power button is off for all times. So i guess this means it doesnt charge at all which was operating properly 12 hrs ago.

Strangest thing is my dock doesnt charge either. I tried every possible combination but couldn't manage to get it done. Even more strangely, after a one hour charging with nothing indicating it's actually charging (the orange battery led is off for all times) it managed to get a %1 of battery charge and opened. It managed to stay on for 10 seconds and then shut down once more for all.

It seems like a battery problem but what are the odds to lose both dock's and the tab's battery after one charge. And now that i'm in Turkey, and as far as i know, asus doesn't provide an international gurantee but only for US, i can't seem to get any service here. Unless any solutions to this matter occurs, i will have to ship it to the seller that i got from the Amazon. Every suggestions or helps appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eckka:
The tablet CANNOT be charged via a USB port! Use the specific charger that came with the tablet. This will deliver the necessary 15V to the system to allow it to charge.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bezendra:
then how come i managed to charge it the first time i plugged it to the PC? And even if so, that is not any handy at all. I will have to carry not only the usb cable but also the adapter with me for all times to be able to charge the tablet. That is not an issue for ipad as far as i know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
It's not a big deal. It charges to full within 2 to 3 hours. Put the darn usb and adapter in your bag pack along with your tablet. It's not like it's a size of a water bottle or something. Charging through the usb is not ideal since it trickle charges and will take forever. Charge it through normal means first and see if it can hold a charge through your everyday use. If it does then your good to go. Then try charging again through pc. Honestly with the tablet keyboard combo you won't have to worry about not having enough battery life to last you the whole day regardless of what you use it for.

[Asus Transformer TF700] maliusmaximus:
Did you get it to work?

Hi Bezendra, did you get it to work? I have the same problem. I'm in Vietnam, and whilst the tablet charges just fine, the dock seems totally Dead on Arrival and doesn't charge (no light, nothing). Warranty isn't really an option here so I need to troubleshoot this exhaustively before giving up. Did you discover the problem?

Speculation: I remember a friend who visited here once, and their externally powered USB hard drive didn't work in certain houses. I think it depended on the type of voltage regulator in the house. Did you discover anything similar?

The guide to an insertion by means of SP Flash Tool for all MT6575/77 of devices

first of all what did you try if ur sure at all ur cp clean try this

turn off hold vol+ and power after u have blank release and press hold menu B for 3 sec if no recovery try this method

The guide to installation of modified recovery (separately from a full insertion) for all MT6575/77 of devices

It is required to us:

1). SP Flash Tool program. SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.

2). MT6575 USB VCOM drivers.

3). A factory insertion for your smartphone.

4). CheckSum_Generate program.

5). (unessentially) Modified recovery.img for your smartphone.

Download already ready Modified Recovery with all necessary files:

modified recovery for i9300MT6575.zip

Instruction:

0). We unpack archives SP Flash Tool, MT6575 USB VCOM, CheckSum_Generate and archive with an insertion. We copy the CheckSum_Generate program in the folder with an insertion and we start it (in the folder the file of checksums Checksum.ini will be generated). If you have modified recovery, the recovery.img file in the folder with an insertion is replaced with your modified.

1). We switch off the smartphone. The cable isn't connected to the computer.

2). We take out and insert back the battery.

3). (pass, if drivers are already established) we Connect phone to the computer a cable. The operating system will find the new device — specify to system the folder with the MT6575 USB VCOM driver (for the version of OS).

4). (pass, if drivers are already established) we Disconnect a cable from the computer.

5). We start the SP Flash Tool program.

6). We press the Scatter-loading button and we choose the file MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (it lies in the folder with an insertion).

7). We press the Download button.

8). We connect phone to the computer a cable. The program should see and begin it an insertion. If phone isn't found, disconnect it from computers, pull out and insert the battery and anew connect to the computer.

9). After the termination of an insertion we disconnect phone.

10). It is ready!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download already ready Modified Recovery with all necessary files:

modified recovery for i9300MT6575.zip

It is possible to establish modified recovery together with installation of an insertion of phone.

But, if the insertion at you is already established, the system is already adjusted under you, and anew to stitch an insertion it would not be desirable, it is possible to establish modified recovery, without mentioning system and other parts of the device.

For this purpose use "The guide to an insertion by means of SP Flash Tool for all MT6575/77 of devices". Only before an insertion (Download button pressing) remove ticks opposite to all points, except RECOVERY. The prevention of the SP Flash Tool program we answer Yes.
