[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
So I set my phone on the table, tried to pour myself a glass of water and spilled some water inside the phone. I tried testing the phone out and everything worked fine...except for the earpiece (where the water entered), I couldn't hear the person on the other end. So I immediately turned it off after (should've done it at the very beginning I know), blow dried it with hot air with the phone facing downwards until it got hot. Then I put it in a bag of rice overnight, just for safe measure and when I turned it on the next day I could hear the other side again, but the problem this time is the proximity sensor, which isn't detecting me.

Now I'm not able to use the keypad or go to speaker. My question is, is it easy to fix a proximity sensor without replacing it? I'm debating on whether I should sell it on eBay now, I think I would still get back the money I paid for it and maybe even a bit more.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBrush:
How do you think you going to sell a faulty phone and get your money back at the same time?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abe in space:
Should've taken it apart and put the pieces in rice, not just the whole phone. Don't know if that could still fix the situation (since you already turned it back on), but you could always try that now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
Well, everything works except for the proximity sensor. Seems like everyone is buying Nexus 4's on eBay for $150-400 more than the asking price, I don't think I'm over-assuming that I might get most, if not all, of my money back if I were to sell it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kypeth:
it's just disingenuous, hence you could look like kind of a **** for mentioning the possibility.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazinase:
If you mention clearly that the phone is faulty on ebay, I would not say anything about it. However, if you hide this information and try to sell the phone as a 100% working, I'm wondering if this can be called fraud/misleading.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpepe:
It's not disingenuous if he describes the damage fully in the ebay ad.

Wouldn't surprise me if some desperate saddo did pay list price for a damaged nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
My bad, but I would have definitely mentioned about it in the description if I were to sell it. I don't plan on deceiving anyone about any defects the phone might have.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
I just looked into the issue about proximity sensors some more. Turns out it was my crap screen protector (Xtremeguard) that caused the issue, I took it off and voila, it detected me again. Guess I don't have to sell it afterall!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatAuc12:
Haven't you heard, the 6months old rumour about the nexus 4 being waterproof wasn't true!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James.UBC:
but it looks like it could be waterproofed pretty easy... there's no big holes other than the headphone/usb jack, speaker grills has cover

hydrophobic coating should do pretty good
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
What about a clear coat of PlastiDip?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDVnatgae:
you should never dry it with hot air or blow dryer (next time use compress air)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misfit77:
So I was doing laundry and thought I had everything off the bed. I gathered up my Nexus 4 with my sheets and didn't realize it was in the washer until it had been submerged for several minutes. I dried it off and have had it under a fan for a couple days. I am going to put it in rice for a couple more.

Should I take it apart and put it in the rice?

Update: I have a little precision screw driver set but even the really small ones don't seem to fit the Nexus 4 screws. I guess I will just have to put the whole phone in the rice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdoughone:
Do you really think someone is going to pay you full price or more if you mentioned you spilled water on it and the sensor does not work????? This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoiD_Dweller:
Just sell it for parts - NOT FULLY WORKING on ebay, don't be misleading because it will just get you negative feedback and everyone will think you are a scammer, meanwhile paypal will get the buyers money back 100%..

Be stand-up and fully explain all the problems with a good description. You'll be surprised how much you can get for a cutting edge broken/not fully working smartphone.. Look at all the broken iPhone 5's for sale and how much people are getting for them at no-reserve auctions.. its pretty nuts.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkid85:
Hi all,

my nex4 had a little bit of sand and water go into it, which rendered it useless.

Now it will not even turn on.

i have had the I.C circuitry cleaned off sand and also blown dry, still no luck. It will NOT turn on

I spoke to Google saying the phone wont turn on, they have agreed to give replacement.

Will there be any problems when i send back the old phone?

PS: i no its my mistake that i should not have let it come in contact with water, but hey it deftly was not much.

My galaxy S and S2 have taken abuse, but still function. This is definitely my mistake, tho.

Good morning to all devs and everyone help us to feel more creative.... i have aquestion... before that i tell u that i use minicm7 last version so gapps so kernel...

1. i can see every site and open every flash video but in lots of cases the system crash or it plays slowly i believe that this happen because of ram, cpu, and the size of the site... i want to ask u if there is any way to make it faster so it can play flash videos nice and smoothly.... i understand that its a mobile and not a pc or laptop so if there is not any solution i will clearly understand... i must say too that i have overclock the cpu to the maximum level and i try every browser but with no any good effect... so i ask u if i can do something with partition or any other solution....

thank u for your time and your creative and sorry for my bad english... i hope to understand my message....:good:
[Microsoft Surface] everal:
Hello at all,

i have a problem.

at the moment i have a "Surface RT" from Microsoft, but the Game-Performance is not as good as on equals Android-Tablets (like Nexus7)...

Many Games on Tegra3 are stuttering (like Jetpack Joyride etc.)

Question:

Wich CPU/GPU Combination ist better

(Tegra3 CPU with Geforce ULP GPU like Surface RT, Asus VivoTab)

or (Qualcomm S4 Plus CPU with Adreno 225 GPU like Samsung Ativ Rt, Dell XPS 10)

http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/tablets-pcs

Very Thanks for your informations...
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
Im not sure about which one is the better setup. However to fix your stuttering for now, try useing another input device rather than touch for your games. I use my touch cover for jet pack and my 360 controller for the other games I have.

Not sure why but a lot of games seem to stutter when you touch the screen , now this can be fixed as shown by hydro thunder developers in there latest patch.
[Microsoft Surface] everal:
very thanks for your information, but i have only the surface 32gb without touchcover...

questions:

1. how do you connect your wireless xbox360 controller with surface rt?

2. do you know any games with no stuttering, without "hydro thunder"?

3. do you know any other games who push the power from tegra3 like "hydro thunder"?

At the moment i play the free game "Baller", very great, but also stuttering...

very thanks...
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
hi mate you will need the wireless pc receiver to sync the xbox controller wireless, however I just use a wired one. Games with controller are far better mate when supported, they even have rumble feed back. Both angry birds have been fixed not to lag on touch.

If you really enjoy jet pack mate why noT just plug in a usb keyboard or mouse works the same.

Soulcraft is a great game not tegra optimized though.
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
I can confirm that the game you are playing called baller has no stutter with touch cover but stutters on touch input.
[Microsoft Surface] adiliyo:
it's all going to come down to optimization for the chipset, the tegra3 and adreno 225 are similar, but the tegra3 has the edge, but in real world, without something being optimized for the specific chipset, you're not going to see a huge difference.

now the s4 pro, with the new adreno is beast. i really wish the surface came with that vs tegra
[Microsoft Surface] Useless guy:
Optimization in most of cases is just a marketing trick.

Tegra 3 is really weak, even in comparison with MSM8960. Also Adreno 320 is up to 3 times faster than 225, so make conculisons.
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
If you want a nice cheap game to showcase the tegra chip in the surface search sprinkle in the marketplace. Great game with some great physics and good graphics.
[Microsoft Surface] adiliyo:
is sprinkle on win8 now?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jmmercy:
Hi everybody.

I bought recently (mid-November 2012) a Polaroid easy2 tablet. It is an MIDR477 model, made in China by Baolaili and based on a MIPS 74Kc processor. It is the "low-end" resistive model but I cared little for it is supposed to become a "smart terminal" in a data acquisition system. I needed to break into the system (I am a Linux person and prefer to do Perl and C programming) to make it suitable for my application.

It turned out to be easy to get the root shell, I rooted it successfully with the help in this forum, thanks to the contributors.

The file system, accessible through the /dev/block/actX devices is actually easy to mount and modify and after a short while I managed to modify permanently the init scripts. The one of interest was init.rc that changes the path and libraries default. I still have a problem due to the non-standard paths (and my limited knowledge in Linux administration), while changing successfully the paths and other variables, I cannot get any external program to run. As an example, when I try to do a simple 'ln -s /<original path> /<link>', it is never executed from the init.rc. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?

Additionally, if there is in the Android boot sequence a better way to gain control, I would be very grateful to know it (my goal is to be able to set-up the system to run unattended).

Edit: My assumption was that init.rc was a script that executed, it seems to be a file parsed by init. No wonder why it did not work properly. Still looking for an entry point that is not a java component ...

re-Edit: (I'll make a thread on my own ;)) ... I finally dug the answer in this forum, if anybody is interested in the boot process :

3w.androidenea.com under /search?updated-max=2009-10-16T13:47:00%2B02:00&max-results=7&start=21&by-date=false

sorry for the restriction ... :(

the answer I was looking for is in the "The init process and init.rc" section.

Best regards.

Hi,

I've got the same tablet, but I can't find a way to root this device.

Can you help me find a thread where this is explained.

Ty,

Dimitri
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jmmercy:
Hi Dimitri.

All this is from memory. I found on this forum a thread about a similar product that actually gives the password for the root shell (something like connect123, can't remember). After installing the adk and the adb shell (took me a while and it was under linux), I uploaded an unlocked busybox (be careful about the proc, it is not the usual type: MIPS 74Kc). I think that at that point the rooting app started functioning. I still have superuser installer but that was not the one originally used. Sorry not to be able to help more but as the tablet is unlocked, I quickly forgot about the process.

Regards.

You could try the individual apps first, with TB or Settings. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset through recovery. Be sure to have your apps backed up. When restoring them, refrain from restoring data.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusadr:
Hi folks!

As the title suggests, I want out from JellyBean and back to MIUI Pickachu Edition 2.xz

I think the latest 2nd boot builds have the GB kernel since I see 4 Vsel levels, so should I flash the froyo kernel?

If so, what should be the order of flashing ROM -> Kernel or other way round?

Also, I have a nandroid backup of when I had MIUI. What steps do I have to follow to restore it, i.e, do I have to flash the ROM (and/or kernel since I was on froyo kernel when the backup was taken) to restore nandroid?

I read a lot about the fuss of latest nightlies changing /system and /data to ext4, but in my case they are ext3, so I guess I should be alright?

Reason for going back is LAG! the immense amount of time to open stuff. I tried loving it, but its just too slow to the point I feel like its running Windows 8 on Intel 8086.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusadr:
Hi!

My friend was in same situation and he went ahead and tried to flash MIUI Pickachu edition, but his process got stuck and now his Defy won't boot.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moleman0:
Try restoring your backup, you may succeed, otherwise you need to start all over again, with the sbf. I find it better to start all over anyway, no matter, what rom we are talking about. Those installed over a freshly flashed sbf proved to be snappier and absolutely bugfree - at least for me.
