I would opt for this method over baking, every oven is different and you run a risk of melting the soldier and causing irreversible damage if it gets too hot. The most important thing about electronic devices getting wet is removing the electrical current ASAP (if possible pull the battery!!!). Other than corrosion, the only problem with water any electronic device has is electrical shorts burning up the circuitry. Once electricity is removed from the equation, alcohol isn't anymore harmful than water, and in fact will evaporate (including the water) much quicker, which in turn reduces the chance of corrosion. That being said, although i am impatient as well i would still give a good day, 24 hours, in a nice rice bath. Just make sure there is no visible liquid before attempting to power on the device, personally i would pull the back cover off and unscrew the back side of the case exposing the main board just to get a better look but not everyone is going to be comfortable with that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tdesbien31:
What i did that worked:

Get a ziplock back filled it with rice. Put your phone without Battery, sim, sd card, backplate in the bag with rice. Set the bag with contents on the top of your refrigerator where it is slightly warm, let it sit for 48 hours. Take it out after 48 hrs (it should have all the moisture out of the phone at this point) put the battery, sim, sd, etc back in and fire it up. Cross your fingers at this point
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chinefoo:
Best bet jar/ bowl of rice,, pull sim sd card put BOTH batt and phone into rice!!! batt has a chip in it, wait for at LEAST 3 days every day shift phone in the rice<<< moves dryer rice closer to phone, after 3 days pull phone out of the rice, THEN grab a can o air, spray air into phone, To see if any water still in phone,, if so 2 more days if not cross fingers put it togather and see if it works,, DO not put in OVEN plastic warps!

I cant be certain it fits, but looking at the connectors in the picture it appears to be compatible, and for 9 bucks i would try it personally before i did anything drastic. Not sure how much the shipping would run to Canada but its got to be less than an insurance deductible.

Rice works, but something a little more powerful are various "thirst bags" that you can buy anywhere on the internet. They work similarly to the rice option but work with a much higher fix rate. This link is to one thats $9.99 http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Thirsty-Bag/IF145-163 good luck

So did you figure out your pumpkin dilemma ?Just wondering..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterDecker:
I keep a bag of about 150 or so Dessicant dryer bags in one of those vacuum seal jars, just in case. They are cheap and easy and work better then rice. I would say getting a bag of 200 of them cost me about $20.00 Keeping them in the vac sealed jar keeps them from sucking the moisture out of the air.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sixty_oz:
Ok. So now that I've been using this phone again the headphone jack has recognized that headphones aren't plugged in. Poop water does odd things to a Galaxy S III.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bri315317:
I have had 2 sgs2 that had the. toilet treatment. I found that taking the rear cover off the phone (not the battery cover but the main back) and generously spraying it with electronic contact cleaner all through out works great. Let it dry for an hour then reassemble.

Just an idea. More than likely there is corrosion left behind from the "poop water"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jasonator:
I always take my phones apart, down to the MOBO and soak and then scrub using an old tooth brush in alcohol. The circuits are so fine that any corrosion will develop quickly and will short the MOBO out. The reason I believe your headphones jack is not working is likely corrosion in the hole. You can plug and unplug the the phones and likely rub out any corrosion. As previous people said, $9 bux for the part on ebay is not bad. And taking these things apart is super simple. Just take your time and maybe even watch the You tube video. These newer phones are more like Laptops than phones now.....

[HTC Desire S] Phosbrom:
I have been using an ICS ROM (PrimoS v4.1) on my Desire S for some time with no problems, but recently have tried flashing a number of JB ROMs (e.g Andromadus, CM10 and JellyTime). I have found that when using any of these JB ROM's, I am unable to get a data connection and the APN list is blank. Despite many attempts to add APNs manually or by use of APN backup apps, I have failed to add an APN to the list.

Do I need to update the radio to solve this problem? I never did this when going from original HTC Gingerbread to the ICS ROM.

Please excuse the ignorance on this subject. I've read somewhere that there is a danger of bricking the phone when flashing radios, hence my reluctance to try without good reason!

I live in the UK and use Virgin Mobile.

Current radio is: 20.281.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M

All help appreciated - I've had a tantalising glimpse of the wonders of Jelly Bean and I'm desperate to get my data connection working!

TIA
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I can't say whether changing radios will fix your problem. I use Radio 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 on CM10 and have no problems.

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Phosbrom:
Thanks for the reply BillGoss.

I took the plunge and updated my Radio to 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 with no problems. My phone continues to work fine with the PrimoS (ICS) ROM, but when I flashed JellyTime, still no APN's and I was unable to create one, hence I can't connect to the 3G network. D'oh! :(
[HTC Desire S] HypnoCondor:
Correct me if I'm wrong but with ICS you don't have the probelm and with JB you have the problem

that you have no and can not set the APN values, Q, dit you have a clean ROM installed.

I had this problem once when I tested a ICS version with sence 4. Later when I installed a CM10 version

I had no APN so I did a factory reset an de problem was gone. To be sure I wiped al the data on my device

and restored a earlyer nandroid backup. Later I tested a lote of ROMS but so far I don't have the APN issue yet.
[HTC Desire S] Phosbrom:
Yes HypnoCondor, I always do a full wipe before flashing the ROM. I've now done a ot of Googling and trawling XDA threads and have found that the issue seems to be confined to CyanogenMod-based ROMS, not specifically CM10 and covering a lot of different phones. I'm not techie enough to fully understand, but it seems that CM is not registering the SIM card properly and hence the APN list is always blank and can't be edited/saved manually.

What's particualrly confusing is that I recently flashed the CM10-based CyanogenMod 10 Beta Builds [4.1.2][ANDROMADUS 3.x][Frontcam] ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776256) and much to my surprise it worked! My APN list was populated and all was fine. Unfortunately , after rebooting the phone, the APN's were gone and I've been unable to get them back, despite trying every trick in the book gleaned from XDA users with similar problems.

This is very frustrating, because I really love this ROM :(

Looks like I'll end up going back to the PrimoS (non-CM, ICS) ROM so that I can get my data connection back when I'm away from WiFi. That's a real bummer, but I'm damned if I've been able to find a fix for this issue.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Just for future reference: being unable to set APN has nothing to do with radio and has everything to do with the ROM you're using. But you've already found that out yourself.
[HTC Desire S] Phosbrom:
Thanks Jack_R1. My final plan is to try replacing the SIM card - should receive it in a couple of days.
[HTC Desire S] Ragey:
Phosbrom I'm on Virgin and the JellyBean roms you mentioned work great on our service. I'm sure you'll enjoy using them when your new sim arrives :good:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
They're not testing on the arc! That was a hoax - someone used a custom ROM (based on 431 f/w which kind of gave it away) with the Android version hard-coded to 4.2. They visited a few Android sites and waited for people to spot it.

I was planning to buy Xperia T but when I see their approach to the customers, probably I'll move to another brand.

My first thread, hopefully in the right area of this amaz forum.

I've been testing various ICS roms on my P500, but all of them share the well-known issue of missing preview thumbnails and playing mp4 videos in gallery apk (so you have to download MX Player and so on)..

As workaround, I though to edit the /etc/media_profiles.xml to try to force the camcorder to record vids in 3gp, yet, no luck in doing this, I am sure I am missing something, because it keeps recording mp4 instead of 3gp.

Sent from gs3..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
Has this happened before to you on other builds of AOKP or other ROMs you have tried? Has this happened to you before you got the extended battery? Sometimes Android will randomly incorrectly report battery statistics such as percentage remaining. For example, it might say 10% left but that "10%" will last for another 2 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] P2o8wer:
No only with the Hyperion battery..

Sent from gs3..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Is the battery new. Has it been conditioned. Drain completely and recharge. Then go from there. Not enough info in 10 minutes to tell what is going on. Install Bettery Battery Stats to see what is running. Gsam Battery Monitor will also give more info on what apps are eating the battery. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
After you follow these suggestions if that still doesn't work consider whipping the battery stats file to prevent potential incorrect battery stats usage (You can do this in recovery or by downloading a battery "calibration" app).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm still negotiating the hyperion battery issue. The phone does not read the stats correctly with one installed. Battery life is correct but stats are wrong. I think it may have to do with the Jerry rigged nfc that was added to their previously made stockpile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
HaHaa. They got you too? :p:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Yup, was drawn in by the extra 200ma/hr. Pretty sure the stock battery is better, but cannot get any accurate calibration on the hyperion. Which ultimately tells me that there is a fluctuation in the output of the battery. That can't be good for the system... Kind of like using a construction grade generator to power a pc, it'll work, but is it safe? Stopped using the hyperion batteries, keeping as backup.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] P2o8wer:
I actually picked up a separate charger. I just leave the Hyperion in it for about 12+ hrs. I downloaded battery calibration app and it seems to be doing a lot better. Not like the first time I put it in but lasting the entire day. Thanks for the help guys..
