Dropped mine in sink of water months ago. It freaked for a bit resetting itself drained all its battery and wouldn't stay off or charge properly but after a few hours of drying whilst rebooting it was fine. Water marks behind screen cleared after a few days.

Then it was knocked off a table from 4 foot height onto stone floor. Screen shattered. The major weakness of this phone is the protruding screen edges. Glass shatters easier from the edges.
[HTC One X] biggiebro:
My earlier experience was with LG Optimus 7 and after 4days of drying the microphone does not work in anyway usable to make call. That is the end of my experience with win 7. The phone was in the washing machine up to the rinse cycle

hi

u might laugh but as i do know when it is rainy in my city i make a point to carry a good small plastic cover for my phone the one which can be sealed at the top and it has helped me few time this month when i got stuck in heavy rains:silly::good::laugh:
[HTC One X] LittleMerc:
Mine was knocked by a friend and my HOX fell onto the tar road... Rear battery cover was scratched, camera lens (outer) cracked, but surprisingly screen unscathed... Bought a new white casing (my old one was black) and now voila,like a brand new white HOX... Cool eh...
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
I do plan on having a zip-lock bag handy in future, as it happens.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
You tried to save it, you switched it off and you already put it in a bag of rice. All is Well. Besides there is nothing more you can do. The Bag of rice trick has been working for years haha.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

Rice isn't that effective at drying a device, yes it absorbs liquid water when in direct contact with it (i.e. when boiling or soaking), but doesn't draw much water vapour out of the atmosphere which is what you are really after. You'll get rice to be a bit more use if you dry it first in a hot oven around around 80 degrees, then let it cool before putting in the bag with the phone.

Really you need a real desiccant to do the job properly. Search Ebay for desiccant, often sold in large containers for flower drying, or smaller packs used for packaging. You may have some packs left over yourself from packaging, but if taken from packaging it will no longer be active and will need drying out again first in a hot oven (100 degrees for an hour say).

Chances are the water didn't penetrate too far, although the tiny speaker holes will draw water in by capillary action, however that will probably just block the holes.

Some info here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57330736-263/using-desiccants-to-soak-up-wet-electronics/

Good luck.

Regards

My phone was underwater for quite some time. Powered off, removed back, dabbled the surprisingly barely wet internals and put in container of rice for a few hours near a fireplace. Not that it even needed it I think. Reassembled. No damage whatsoever. Speaker, screen and mic are perfect. Happened nearly 5 weeks ago. I think as long as its freshwater there's always hope.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

Yes fresh water with little or no salts dissolved in it and you should be okay. Water with impurities, such as tap water and of course salt water, if this gets on the circuit board will dry leaving deposits which can cause short circuits (and corrosion), or at least what looks like short circuits to high frequency signals and RF. This is where dismantling and washing the water away with clean fresh water may be required to save the device.

Rice isn't really the best thing to use, if it were a good desiccant it would be used in packaging to keep products moisture free as it would be the ultimate and cheap "green" desiccant, the fact it isn't used tells us that rice isn't an effective desiccant.

Rice is more a myth and placebo for drying wet devices. Sugar would be better as an easy quick to hand desiccant we might have in our homes, salt is also a desiccant, which is why we take care to keep salt and sugar in air tight containers. Take salt or sugar, place in a warm oven (around 80 degrees) for an hour to remove any H2O they have already absorbed, allow to cool and use that. Wrap the device in some tissue to keep it away from the salt and sugar, and sit it on top a layer an inch thick in a bag and seal it, and hope for the best :good:

I managed to drop my HOX face down into a puddle and it was fine, didn't reboot or anything. It's also done cartwheels down a few pavements. Some scuffs on the corners, but screen is fine and you barely notice them. Impressed with the toughness of this phone :D
[HTC One X] Pflunz:
My One X felt into a bucket Full with water and a car shampoo. One or two seconds later I took it out, and I could Not shut it down, cause Touchscreen stopped working.

After a few minutes it started to constantly reboot. It did until battery died. A few days later I tried to Power it on, put it rebooted again and again. It ended up with putting the motherboard into alcohol for a Day. Now it works again. But I had to replace display, because of the soap in it. Water flew really quick into the display, after I took the one X out of the bucket, I could See how the back of the Display absorbed the Water from the edge to the center
[HTC One X] jo3yp:
No so lucky...

Well, I wasn't so lucky. I got back home on Sunday night, put my HOX on the bedside cabinet, then put a glass of water on a coaster next to it. The glass fell over and poured over my HOX and Kindle. I quickly unplugged the charger wiped both devices down, shook them, then wiped them again... As I had been drinking, I didn't think the spillage was sufficient to warrant shutting the phone down and letting it dry out, in fact I even plugged it back in to the charger and went to sleep.

When I woke up, my alarm was making the phone vibrate but the speaker wasn't working. I left the phone off all day and put it in a zip lock bag filled with silica gel, but still no joy when I tried it last night. I then put the phone in my flat mates electronic dry box, which he stores his camera equipment in, and will try again after it's been in there for 24hr. If it's still screwed then I guess it's off to HTC for repair.... again :(
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Don't want to burst your bubble, HTC Will not fix this, Water damage = a Write off, its beyond economic repair if its water damaged.
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
For the people who's phones are damaged by rain:

There are apps that tell you when it starts to rain in your area ;)

Good luck with your devices! I hope corrosion will not affect them in the near future.
[HTC One X] jo3yp:
Even if it's just the speaker that's not working? The screen, earpiece and sound through headphones are all OK.. althought I just realised I haven't checked the mic when making calls.

It will have been in the dry box for 48hrs when I take it out tonight, if it's still not working then I'll send it off to HTC and see what they say. If you're right, then I guess I'll just have to live with it only notifying me of calls by vibrate and carrying headphones with me at all times... or maybe get a HOX+ to make myself feel better.

Cheers
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Speaker is easy to replace, and cheap to buy (if the speaker itself is at fault and not the motherboard) so you could DIY it if needs be.
[HTC One X] avgjoegeek:
It's not my screen is smashed from a two foot drop onto asphalt.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Dropped my phone onto hardwood floor last night. Screen became erratic and not working when touched. Reboot did nothing. As I have already thrown it in water, and I'm insured I dropped it from the same height again on purpose. Rebooted and working like new.
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
This is the worst manual for fixing your phone :cyclops:
[HTC One X] xchasa:
When in doubt, pull the hammer out... Lol.

I was really expecting to be using insurance this time (hoping) but it lives.
[HTC One X] massalami:
My phone had the wifi issue for the longest time. After several drops, including one in which the screen almost popped out and I popped it back in, the wifi has been working incredibly.

Moral of the story, if you're having problems with your hox, drop it like it's hot and it should work again:D
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
Christ you guys love ur phones lol!!!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:;)
[HTC One X] jo3yp:
I ended up sending my phone to HTC last week. I could live with the speaker not working, but after 4 days a dead spot occurred in the touch screen. It was across 1,2,3 on the dialling keypad, or where the predictive words appear when typing. HTC sent a courier out to pick up the phone from my office and while I was waiting for a call with the bad news and a quote for the repair, the courier delivered it back to me. Speaker is working and they even replaced the whole screen. Free of charge :D :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Today before lunch, I got in the Seidio Active case with front cover/kickstand. It's much like the Kindle Fire case I had. So I am glad that I now have it protecting my N7. :)

As you can see it is the black version. All the cutouts are there EXCEPT for the POGO Pins. But I see it as if you are going to use the POGO pins, you HAVE to remove the case to use a POGO device, so I am am ok with covering it up at this time.

The case comes in three parts, the rubber polymer, hard exterior skeleton, and the mounting cover. The rubber does attract dust especially when brand new out of the box lol, but after a while, the dust and debris will get easier to wipe off with your hand. The front cover can be slipped on the back of the case for convenience and IMO added protection. And there is no magnets to speak of. Which is ok, IMO, I'll just use my volume rockers to turn it on, which I do anyway.

If you have any Seidio products on any of your devices, this does not disappoint. All the cutouts are there and the front camera is clear from the rubber exterior as well. Without the front cover, the Nexus 7 is comfy in my hand and i can see gaming on this more and more...if my 4 year old is not hogging it up lol....

To sum it up, the case is what I expected from Seidio and the quality of their cases. I have been a repeat customer for years and I forsee that I may be again when I get my next device, whatever that may be.

Any questions please ask! :) Here are the pics starting with unboxing without the N7 installed....enjoy!

Posting the pics, I came to the realization that my desk is mighty dusty! I apologize for that in advance ROFL :D

Also forgot to give the official link, my bad...http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD2-CSK3ASN7-BK

Available in colors: Red, Blue, White and Black
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brainchow:
Thanks for the review.. thinking about picking up one of these too. Is it bulky? Does it add alot of thickness/weight?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I answered those generally in the other Seidio thread but forgot to post the question and answers here, so here it goes:

1. Is it bulky?

Ans: No more bulkier than my Treegloo case. It actually feels thinner than the treegloo and Kindle Fire version IMO, that's without the front cover on the back :cyclops:.

2. Does it add to the thickness/weight?

Ans: It does seem a bit heavier. I think it has to do with the skeleton and rubber combo. But it feels comfortable in the hand because of the rubber exterior IMO. Is it thick? See answer one lol...well if you are coming from a naked N7 then this would be a major step but also major protection IMO.

Hope that helps a bit! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Put link and 10% coupon code in OP. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I took some pics showing the difference in thickness (with measurements) with the case and cover part way down this page, also near the bottom I posted the weight of the bare 7, with case and with case/cover.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] G.Goret:
Is it me, or the case is somewhat "curvy"? Especially in you last picture, it looks like the rubber doesn't make straight lines around the screen.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I see what you mean. Keep in mind I had just put the case on prior in taking pics. As of now the case has "settled" around the device. Ill try to take a comparison pic.

Pic today

Pic yesterday

Hmm...looks the same doesn't it? LOL. In the pics I see what you are saying but when looking at it, it looks ok to me lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] G.Goret:
Having a closer look, it looks like there's some barrel distortion with your camera, as even the screen itself isn't fully square. The case is probably fine (and the lines do look smoother in the more recent picture).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] killdashn9ne:
Can you use the harder protective back to cover the front of the screen?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Lol I think you are right. It's an old cyber shot camera.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
The stand is a hard cover as well. There's a pic of it without the N7 installed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Warrior1975:
Nevermind
[Nexus 7 Accessories] CyberStorm98:
I got mine today too, it's awesome! If anyone needs pics or details, I'll be happy to provide them as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MrDrift42:
When the front cover is off can you snap it on to the back so it's out of the way?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MrDrift42:
Nice. This is definitely on my to buy list. Been waiting for a tough case to come out since I bought it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] technope:
Got mine and am not disappointed in the least. Pretty much great in every way. Highly recommended.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] silverxbv2:
I am interested in this case as well. Could someone get a pic of the case and tab side by side laying flat on a desk/table? I'm trying to get a feel for how much thicker it ends up being with the top on it. Thanks

Sent from my 32GB Nexus 7

Hi everyone,

I Recently tweak my phone at the maximum of what it can be and so far I was searching for the best way to keep up all my tweaked rom and so I discovered Nand but what I can't be is indead Backup my rom.

Everytime it enter in recovery mode to create a new backup it says that an error has occured.

Thanks to the future helpers. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
You are on which kernel and rom?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Drakenlord78:
I'm on RemICS with Revolution kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
I used to face this problem when I used Remics. What did the recovery mode said when the backup failed?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Drakenlord78:
I don't precisly now what were appeared when I tried to backup nand but I remind there was the android logo diying with an huge ! facing to me that was really scaring lol but now I went back to MIUI and it's working like a charm.

Sorry if i'm not that accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
That's crazy mate. I only face a word saying..... i forgot, like it said: failed to backup dbdata.

Some sort like that, and the medicine is changing ROM from Remics to Paranoid

Send from Galaxy SL powered by Paranoid Android
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Drakenlord78:
I don't want to go and see from paranoid. I adopted the MIUI who seems like to be a really good ROM for battery (may be a lil' bit too much FC, but I can go in with, not a problem). I'll try to nand backup with it and feedback soon. Thanks for the support guy. Glad to see an active community. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
no problem, BTW, don't need to change ROM to Paranoid, just pick whatever you like. Tips: Do Nandroid Backup before you mod your new ROM.

for sure it will crash as the framework is completely different.

But toggles are customizable and you can change the position easily via settings/display/taskbar

[Galaxy S III Android Development] corrsea:
The Rapidshare link appears to have stopped working. Stating file is no longer available for download.

I think have found a work around for the Google drive link.

1. Install the Drive app on phone.

2. Select drive when asked what app to download with.

3. Once the file has transferred to your drive make a copy as the original will still say it has passed its download limit.

4. Download the copy by using the the 'make available offline' function

Seems to be downloading Ok. Will edit this post if all goes well.

After a bit of messing around it appears to be finally working. Can't find an option to download on the phone app but its downloading fine to my laptop.

heres the link to my copy on drive

but the strange characters showing in transparent accuweather widget.... makes it almost unusable

when I try to flash motomoto theme over it, the battery meter gets incorrect... what could possibly is it?

1. No problems with that widget here.

2. Is that theme compatible with 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Check in sms settings.

If you not check vibration there you will not have it as th fw have different vibration to device settings and application settings.

Just go to sms/settings scroll down and you will found it there
