[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpasas:
Hello community.

I have a serious problem and i want your help.I read all the articles about dropped in water but i can't solve my problem. So i am starting from the beginning.

Yesterday my phone was dropped in the toilet for 2-3 sec (stupid i know). I took it, i remove immediately all the parts (battery, sim, external sd) and i start blow with hairdrier (mistake i know) after 2-3 hours i try to switch on the phone with no result so i continue my stupidity... I connect the phone on the charger with no result but as i noticed the back of the phone was warming. After that i read the articles (the first correct thing). So i put the phone in a rice inside a Tupperware and i wait for 8 hours. Then i start the phone and WOW it was working fine for only 10 sec. Then a battery message appear that i must charge the phone and the screen went black but the sounds and the touch was working. So i close the phone and i put it in the charger ( i know,,, i know...) After 10 min i remove the phone from the charger because was warming. I tried to switch on but the screen continue to be black and the sounds and the touch working... So i remove again everything and i put it in the rice again until today 2 hours ago.

I switch the phone and the phone started and the screen working except 1/4 of the screen in the above right place. So i close the phone and i put it in the rice again.... I noticed that when the phone is closed there is difference in colour between the black screen that working and the black part that is not working. So after again 2 hours in the rice i noticed that the black screen that is not working start to expanded in the left top side of the phone... and i am wondering, this thing is a water or something from the screen liquid?

Please help me if you can. I will appreciate your help.

I don't know if anyone can help you, it is a smelly affair.

If you were using some kind of disinfectant inside of your toilet (especially the smell of the sea or green apple) you have a huge problem.

More seriously, the layers of the screen stratify from each other. You can only replace whole screen, but I suppose that the rest of your phone also will die sooner or later.

Sell ​​it as defective. Repair will be too expensive.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpasas:
Dear friend i appreciate your knowledge and i want to inform you that inside the toilet their was NOT any kind of disinfectant inside.

Any suggestion except of sell it as defective???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Okay, don't be nervous, just kidding. :rolleyes:

No, unfortunately there is nothing you can do yourself, only replace faulty screen. You just can't stick your digitizer to screen with somekind homemade tricks. And I don't want to worry you, but I'm afraid that there will be also micro corosion on your phone motherboard.

If you really want to try to reanimate it, than you must take it apart, dry all components with rice method or better by using special adhesive liquid used in electronic to remove all wet.

If the glue from the screen has not been rinsed completly than you can try to squeeze layers by placing a book or something heavyweight and flat on top and simultaneously heat it with a hair dryer. Repet this operation few times without taking out weight.

I really doubt that this will help much but if you really wish to try than go ahead. You can always sell it after that. Even in parts.

There is somewhere on this forum instruction how to unscrew i9100 completly.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpasas:
I will give a try.

Before try your tricks my friend i am informing you that the whole screen went black.... (Ohhhhh).

I just want to know.

The screen was broken or there is water inside the screen? (If you know)

Where car i sell the phone for parts or as a defective? (i ll give a try at ebay but if you know somewhere else give me a hint)

Thanks again guys :angel:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Theres guys on here that have went swimming with their phones and they still work.Youd only get about £130 max on eBay for the phone if you admit its water damaged.

Youd be better soaking the phone in that alcohol stuff then drying it via rice for a week.

What can you get for £130.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
I had a nokia :) once which fell in water, I pulled the battery out dried it with a cloth and put it back in and the screen flashed so I turned off, put it in rice for 24hrs then it worked great :D except there was some water on the screen from inside.

I forgot the name *-) but it was a kind of copy of the iphone at that time and it had a pressure touch screen *-)

Thats all the experience I have :D I hope it helps

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
I just installed ICS for Desire (Sandvold's ICS beta 0.17), most of it was working before I activated A2SD.

But after I activated the A2SD by terminal and reboot the phone.

I got some problems.

1. When I am using Google Play or Youtube, the searching records will let the system crash.(I mean when the records come out)

I need to clean the records every time before I search to avoid crash

2. The system will crash every time when the "Processing" window pop out

EX: The register of the Apps "LINE", After I press the button to send me the register MMS, it crashed.

These problems confused me a lot, please help me :(

My Phone:

HBOOT: 6.93.1002 s-off

Recovery: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

700MB ext3 for sd-ext
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp333:
Hi, did you manage to fix your problem? Do you have any experience with other a2sd scripts from the Aroma installer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
I would suggest you to do a full wipe after you flashed it. I had also some issues with this ROM and I had to wipe before flashing and also after it....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossPierreDaLaThor:
You're kidding, right? Full wipe means format of all the phone partitions. If you do this after ROM install, you'll simply delete it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
Sorry guys, I finally solved the problem but I didn't post here.

The ext partition has cracked because of the incorrect merging!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
no, no, full wipe just erases all of the user data/app data, dalvik cache etc... it does not touch the system, so the ROM will be absolutely OK. It does not touch the partitions either - unless you do not use partitioning application (what actually formats it afterwards) :)...

[HTC One X] lock!:
Hi guys,

This is my first thread here in XDA, so, forgive me by a possible mistake.

I recently bought a HOX, the seller said that is the international version.

I'm in 4.0.3, with software version 1.29.707.11 (already checked for updates, but phone says its up to date)

So, sometimes when i turn my wifi on, he doesn't connect in my network (already saved), i go to wifi settings, put to scan, and, aparently, the phone don't scan the networks and doesn't found my network too.

Obviously, im on the range of the network, and don't have that factory problem with bad wifi signal.

And, sometimes too, phone takes a lot of time to get carrier signal, so i turn on plane mode, then turn off, and finally get carrier signal.

My question is: is this normal? What can i try to fix it? (Thinked on a factory reset)

I don't tried anything yet.

If anyone could help, i'll appreciate and if the thread is on the wrong place, please move it :D
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Just try flashing the RUU, which will delete everything and return it to stock.
[HTC One X] lock!:
Thanks for the help Pope!

I am VERY noob in HTC tools, can you say me what exactly is this "RUU", and where i can get it?

Its basically, a factory reset right? What is the difference from normal FR to this RUU tool?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The difference is that it will reflash the ROM from scratch, it's the first thing HTC do when you take your phone for repair. It's very safe (when flashed with decent remaining battery) and very thorough.

Check the Shipped ROM sticky in the development section.
[HTC One X] lock!:
I am searching about the Rom Update Utility, but i'm not finding a good tutorial to follow, explaining the whole process.

If anyone could help me in the process :laugh:

Edit:

Thanks again Pope! I'll look in dev section
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You just have to charge the phone, put the phone in fastboot mode (hold down the volume down key when switching on the phone, then navigate from there), plug phone into Windows PC and double click RUU.

You may want to do an "adb backup" (you'll have search for this) beforehand, flash RUU, test and then restore.
[HTC One X] lock!:
I'm not finding the correct RUU file for the One X, can you help me? Or just show me a place to search... (Some links here at job are blocked --') Basically finding the correct RUU file i'll do the rest without problem...

This "restore" you mean in the end, its the factory reset in the phone? Or another restore?

Don't need a backup, i got the phone 2 days ago hehehe
[HTC One X] lock!:
My HOX is totally clean.

No unlocked bootloader, no root.

This will not be a problem doing the flash with the stock RUU right?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No, that's perfect, you don't need anything other than stock, and it will remain stock.

[HTC One X] lock!:
Ben sorry for tons of questions hehe

I'm reading a tutorial, and on it said that i need my CID number, in order to download the correct RUU file for the correct region of my HOX. How can i know if this RUU you posted is the correct for my HOX?

I've tried to get my CID number (downloaded the fastboot flasher tool) but when i put the cid command he returns: CID > None lol

I Know that my HOX is from Shangai (has a SH in serial number) and got my MID number.

So, i just need to know which file i need to download, the right one of course hehehe

If i will need the CID to know, i'll ask for the files for fastboot commands (i don't found them)

If not, just confirm the link you posted ealier if its the correct RUU for my case.

PS.: This link posted is only for premium users, and i don't have a premium acc, can you provide in another mirror? :D
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You can't flash the wrong RUU, the phone won't let you.

You don't need your CID as you are not unlocked, knowing that you are 1.29.707.x is enough. It's the right RUU.

I'm sure you don't need me to hold your hand whilst you use google to find that file somewhere else. The sticky dev thread I previously mentioned will likely have a ton of mirrors for the file.
[HTC One X] lock!:
So.. i'll look fot the file in other places.

Today, i've connected in my wifi network, and the phone says there's an update...

It's the same update announced days ago, but in my case with a different update number...

Phone has been upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.

If the problems persist, i will flash the RUU anyway, but, because of this update, nothing changes right? The RUU file you posted still valid for my HOX?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Not any more, you've updated your hboot, so you'll need an updated RUU (you can't install on older hboot, packaged with an older RUU).

You're lucky:

Thanks for all the help Pope!

With this 707 update I got better WiFi ..smooth, fast...amazing

Same here man...

In a network that once stood in 40% signal, now i'm getting almost 100%!

Apparently, carrier signal is working fine too.. i'll test for more 3 days...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] lord_galathon:
Hi, firstly thank you for breathing new life into a (really) crap tablet. I had just about given up on them (I have two...) and was about to use them as skeet, and buy a Nexus 7 when the CM10 mod came out.

Installed it properly, all went well and it worked for a few weeks then yesterday morning for no apparent reason I became unable to install apps from the Play Store. Initially only a few wouldn't update and later in the day I found myself unable to update or download any new apps on BOTH tablets.

I get several innovatively named errors, like package file invalid, unknown error 24, error 3, unable to download file and my personal favorite "no file to download"...

The wi-fi is solid on a 30Mbit cable connection and I can browse the web with no issues so connectivity is not at play here.

Google Play Store version is 3.8.17

They are both on the same build (afscm-10-20120808-UNOFFICIAL-k1) with the signed gapps package added.

I'm currently using one (mine) to test, after clearing all caches and rebooting several times it's still no-go. I'm about to flash with K1_CM10_Flashable_v2 as a last resort, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

(EDIT) The K1_CM10_Flashable_v2 tablet seems to work normally for now but I'd rather not have to format/wipe my wife's K1.

It's not due to ram. It's not like you have both roms loaded in ram at the same time. You choose what to boot first thing when you turn your phone on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samman82:
I've looked at multiple forums, not just galaxy 3, and I can't find an answer to this problem. I keep getting the "symlinks: some symlinks fail - status 7" error when I try to flash certain roms. First of all, I'm rooted and unlocked. I have flashed CM10 and Synergy before (couple weeks ago,) but now I can't install any of the synergy nightlies or JB roms. I've tried to install from internal and external sd, and failed on both. I've flashed CWM touch and non touch 6.0.1.2 as well as twrp with the same error message. I've flashed the cwm recoveries through Rom Manager and Odin with no change. I loaded the latest Modem through Odin to see if that would fix the problem somehow, and that didn't work either. (Wasn't expecting it too.) Has anyone run into this issue and come out with a fix? I think I've done some pretty in depth research on this, but maybe I've missed something. I don't want to create a brick if someone has a fix. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronjohnson:
I just bought a S3 last night. I immediately went through all of the steps for root,unlock,and tried to load a custom rom. After about 5 hours worth of research and trial and error I gave up and am probably going to return it for something different. No one has answers for this issue, but it seems a decent amount of people are getting this. I believe it has something to do with the phones memory / storage. Be sure to share anything that might fix this issue.

Being a tablet, I've used just stock ICS launcher for a long time now. I was wondering if you guys prefer any other launchers and if so, which ones?

I think if you asked on themes and apps you'd get a better response , just word the question into a statement :)

I stick with the stock ICS launcher. Every third party launcher I have fiddled with makes my tablet look like a huge cell phone or slows it to a crawl.

On my phone I use ADW.Launcher - pretty clean and lots of fun to configure. Works fine on the tab and does not cause any lag I can notice; but (in my opinion) - it looks like crap compared to the stock ICS launcher.

Just my $0.02 USD :)

Also since you're s-off, you don't need to install the whole RUU and overwrite your rom, you can get the firmware by itself in the Firmware combos thread in the dev section.

Also if you're running the old firmware patch on your current rom, you need to revert those changes, use the new firmware patch also in the firmware thread in the dev section.
