I removed the SIM card

It sits in a metal frame and the top of the holder has a seal on it. It seems like it would be water tight. Damn! you think they would have advertised it as water resistant. Or maybe they just want you to pay for the extra ADH coverage.

The next person who bricks their phone should try to see if it is waterproof.
[HTC Droid DNA] l7777:
Thats easy, nill. If you notice in the video his reception goes away almost as soon as he puts it in the sink. High frequency radio waves and water don't mix.

[HTC Droid DNA] ilogik:
Butterfly is rated IPX5 which is water resistant and not waterproof, that would be IPX7. The question is does the DNA have this rating...

So if its IPX5 rated then its a safe bet to say you can get drunk and piss on your phone and it will function normally the next day :P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWWH_kXHs7c

IPX5

IPX5 is the grade at which a phone continues to function when directly subjected to 12.5 L of water per minute from all directions using a 6.3 mm inside diameter nozzle at a distance of approximately 3m for at least 3 minutes.

IPX7

IPX7 is the grade at which a phone continues to function and no water gets inside when it is immersed in a tank filled with still tap water to a depth of 1m at room temperature and left at the bottom of the tank for approximately 30 minutes.

Here is what HTC says

Thank you so much for contacting HTC customer support center.

Bryan, we are happy to hear about your interest in the newest member to HTC’s family of smart mobile devices. Taking a closer look into the DROID DNA specifications, even though it has a flimsy vinyl cover that's hard to pry off and even harder to fit back on, this phone is not waterproof or water resistant.

Thank you again for your interest and also thanks for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us through http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support or call us at +1-866-449-8358 from 6AM to 1AM EST, 7 days a week.

Have a wonderful day.

Mine fell in a full sink of water at work on day 2 of owning the device.. it was completly submerged for about 4 seconds and hasn't acted up once since but I paniced and tried to suck water out of the head phone jack! ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
Then I assume HTC lied and they probably did that on purpose so if your phone is in water you assume it's dead and you have to go with insurance.
[HTC Droid DNA] beddachedda:
Or, they didn't want to go through the necessary testing on the device to rate it in the US.

It's the same with shelf life on drugs - a lot of them are fine after 2 years, but doing shelf-life testing past that requires a lot more trouble than it's worth.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Or they don't want idiot American's dropping them in water and blaming them why they won't work, if they claimed it was water resistant.

Not waterproof

[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
Water resistance has nothing to do with having a water tight casing on the phone. Its coated with the same nano coating on the RAZR line of products. Water can get in, it just doesn't damage the phone. Good for brief accidental exposure not for submersion.

DNA dropped in water

The makers of the HTC DNA may state that the phone is not waterproof or water resistant but I just dropped my DNA into a bathtub full of water and it was in there for about 5 seconds and the power was still on. I got it out of the water and started drying it off with a hairdryer. The headphone jack was full of water so I expected that to never work again. I powered the phone off and continued drying it for about 20 seconds. Even though it looked dry to me I still put it in a bowl of rice for about an hour.and then powered it on and everything works fine .

On one hand water proof is great....but if I were to brick my phone while under warranty..a drop in the old toilet might be a windfall...just sayin..

That excuse in the local verizon store might "not hold water" anymore
[HTC Droid DNA] Serinety:
Well, I saw this thread a few days ago... It was intersting. Then today... (about 20 min ago actually), while at the library, I go to use the facilities. I'm googling and facebooking from the john as usual. I flush , stand up button jeans.. and there she went. Right out of my hoodie front pocket and into the toilet..

There is sat, screen shining up at me as to say "hi! Whatcha doin? Me? Oh... I'm just takin a swim is all"

I hesitated to put my hands into a dirty toilet bowl.. but my baby needed me.. so in my hand went. I picked her up, dripping wet. Not having any towles, I started ripping toilet paper out of the roll. But to my surprise, the phone was barley wet, almost like it was coated with rain-x. I dried the few drops that were left, blew into the headphone jack.. and called it good.

After a thorough hand washing I left back to my table. Pulled out the phone.. its totally fine. No water in the jack, no water in the charge port.. totally fine.

It must have sat down at the bottom of that bowl for a good 10 seconds while I tried to decide to stick my hand in or not.

May not be water proof but it pretends to be pretty well .

[HTC Droid DNA] c5satellite2:
My buddy dropped his EVO LTE in the toilet a few months ago, and it has been fine to this day. These things are so tight to begin with that it is hard for water to get in unless it was to stay submerged for a little while. Don't know about the DNA having rubber seals and all but it's probably not recommended to go swimming with it.

Well I dropped min in the river, before I knew it it was 12-15" deep, I grabbed it out and I had the same experience where the phone seemed to repel water. Phone is working perfectly.
[HTC Droid DNA] Barb M:
Yes, Waterproof

I dropped my phone in the swimming pool while attempting to take a pic of my grandson. The phone was submerged for a least a minute, power on and ready to take a pic. After retrieving, the power never went out on the phone and I just dried it with a towel. The phone has not skipped a beat since, which is cool, because I also love the phone for so many other reasons :laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] Yea_i_will_be_that_guy:
Yup

Just found out the DNA is water proof was washing my dog and it fell in and poof my phone was ringing underwater I don't trust htc too much on the subject because they never did advertise it so it is probably not 100%
[HTC Droid DNA] nicodemu5:
Im not really sure how waterproof my phone would be, the usb port cover broke off after a few months of having it, i read somewhere that it was a problem that they were having and so i was trying to be as careful as i could, dumb thing just decided to break, might be ok if it was a quick dip

Not water proof

hey guys i was highly curious about the whole water resistance/water proof thing myself and i can speak from an experience earlier this afternoon that the dna is not waterproof nor water resistant lol i found myself along with my dna in a pool for really about all of 15 seconds or so. i climbed out of the pool and quickly realized my pride and joy was in my back pocket i pulled it out thinking to myself "well now ill know for sure if its actually water proof lol" and i looked the screen was on but with in about 2 mins the phone began to vibrate continuously for around 1 min or so and since then i cant get it to do anything at all. ive blown it out with low compressed air and now its sitting in rice in my last ditched effort before i go and file my 3rd insurance claim in just under 2weeks lol

:crying:
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Is your charge port plug missing? ^^^
[HTC Droid DNA] quickma70:
no charge port is intact and closed also i had it in a otterbox defender case, not that this case is water tight or anything but it has a headphone port plug and still all the same the phone is shot out and no longer doing a darn thing lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Strange because my buddy actually ran a water test on his for 30 seconds under a faucet and it didnt do anything...basically the water just beaded up and rolled off. But i hope you get it replaced. Sorry about that bro.
[HTC Droid DNA] quickma70:
yeah no worries maybe his is faucet proof and many others are but i am now a firm believer in none of them being pool proof lol anyhow thanks man

Recovered from 5-gal bucket of water- Still working!

Yesterday, I leaned over to pick up a 5-gallon bucket filled with plain clean tap water and my DNA slid out of my shirt pocket and went to the bottom of the water for two or three seconds. I panicked and grabbed it out immediately.

It was turned on at the time/

I wiped it off with a paper towel and ran a hair dryer over it 6 or 8 times over an hour and a half.

I was afraid to turn the screen on or to even turn off the device.

I let it sit.

Then I heard a ring tone and answer.

It work, the screen showed up as usual.

It appears to have NO damage. Everything works so far.

I was truly AMAZED!

I am really happy.

Hello,

wanted to ask for help, i have HTC ONE V CDMA version Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted. S-ON

I tried installing PrimoC kernel on stock sense. I install kernel for ICS then i reboot into bootloader flash the boot.img. Phone reboots and keeps rebooting.

I install XPERIA Rom, install stock kernel through bootloader /fastboot phone wont boot up, just keeps restarting.

I install CM10 and install kernel phone boots up and shuts down. Boots up shuts down.

PACMAN ROM same issue.

The point is what am I doing wrong? I went through every phone out there on the market never had any issues. This phone is pain in my ass.

The only way for me to boot up the phone out of boot loops is flashing BOOT.img from my back i made of the stock sense. Even then my WIFI will not work.

I am looking for pointers, instructions, whatever helps i love flashing I love these ROMS on here, but i just cant seem to get the to work.

Appreciate your time and your help.

I'm looking to root my HTC One X but I'm a bit confused by Kernals and Roms

I'm aware that a Rom is essentially the Android distro that the Phone will run of such as Cyanogen Mod or Viper, however I don't really understand the use of a Kernal and what it's function is.

Also How would I go about flashing Kernals and Roms via Clockworkmod Recovery?

Thanks in advance for the help :)

(it's a lot more complicated than flashing with the Desire)
[HTC One X] aman360elite:
This may help :)

OKay lemme see how much i can explain though i am not very good at this.

Suppose ur phone is a car..then the rom is tthe body of the car but the kernel is the engine.

The kernel(AKA Boot.img) tells the phone what to do how to interact wid applications etc.

Now to the flashing part.When u have rooted the Phone and installed clockwork recovery u copy the ROM files to ur SD card(Extract the Boot.img of the ROM using Winzip).

Till the time ur using the stock boot.img of the ROM(Which i recommend for begineers) u just need to flsah the boot.img using fastboot and then install ROM using recovery but if u wanna use a custom Kernel then u have to flash the boot.img and the modules also.

Anything else Do let me know :)

[Nokia Lumia 800] ybregeon:
Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 7.8 is coming in "early 2013".

Cast your mind all the way back to June of this year, when Microsoft formally made its first official announcement about Windows Phone 8. At the same event, it disappointed early adopters of its Windows Phone 7 platform by confirming that their handsets would not be eligible for upgrade to the new OS.

But the company also said that it wouldn't leave those faithful users completely out in the cold, promising to deliver an update that would bring new features, including the new-style Start screen, to first- and second-generation devices. But since that announcement, almost nothing has been discussed by Microsoft about Windows Phone 7.8. Until now.

At long last, Microsoft has broken its silence on the 7.8 update. In a blog post, Terry Myerson, corporate vice president for Windows Phone, has now confirmed some of the features that the update will bring, including a greater selection of OS 'accent colours' (20 in total), and improved lock screen features such as the Bing Picture of the Day.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of features here that we haven't heard already - and if you were expecting good news regarding availability, you'll probably want to sit down and pour yourself a drink. Microsoft is commiting to getting the update "tested, approved and rolled out to as many devices as possible in early 2013", so those rumours suggesting it might starting being delivered to devices this week were evidently pretty wide of the mark.

The wording there also implies that not all devices will be updated; we've already had it confirmed by LG that the Optimus 7 won't see 7.8, but it's not yet clear if other devices will join the list of handsets that won't see the OS upgrade. One other device that seems unlikely to see 7.8 is the Dell Venue Pro, a handset that had something of a troubled life before it was finally withdrawn from sale in March of this year. The last update delivered to the Dell Windows Phone was 7.5 Mango.

Myerson also confirmed that new handsets with 7.8 are already beginning to launch, and will continue to do so in order to reach "a range of lower price points"; we've recently seen entry-level devices such as the Nokia Lumia 510 being announced with Windows Phone 7.5, while the Alcatel OneTouch is expected to launch with 7.8 soon.

Evidently, we're still some way from Windows Phone 8 taking over as Redmond's sole smartphone OS.

It's not just a home screen, new lock screen, smartglass support and a lot of small fixes like for IE and bluetooth file sharing and etc. WP 7.5 runs very well already,so WP7.8 is just a small fix and MS wants to make it sure, that everything will work even better.
