Hi all,

My friend has a handset that was dropped in the bath. Daft idea, yes, but that's how it is.

The device will register the charger by flashing the LED. The first boot screen will appear, but then it will boot loop.

You can access the menu from Power + Vol Down, but the device will not load in to recovery, it will just boot loop again.

I haven't tried system restore because she doesn't want to lose her data.

The device is unmodified.

Does anyone think that her data may be recoverable? Also, do you think it will be possible to restore it to life to at least remove the data before sending it away for repair / replacement?

If anyone has any advice, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks. :)
[HTC One S] eggytoasty:
I don't think system restore will repair any water damage. Hopefully she did a recent Google sync first contacts and calendars. SD card should be fine and I hope she has handset insurance. Cheers.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
If I were you, I would definitely not power it on after dropping it in the bath. That will cause short-circuits within the phone. RMA most likely will not accept the phone, due to water damage. Leave it in dry rice for about 4 days. Then, depending on the software whether it was unbranded or branded, run an RUU. It might or might not work.
[HTC One S] mikeyd85:
There's no SD card in the One S unfortunately.

She does have insurance at least!
[HTC One S] Troute:
The very first thing to do when that happens is to take the battery out, not a straight forward task with a one s. I'm thinking the phone is fubar'd after trying to power it up while wet, but you/they may be lucky. Get the battery out and leave the phone somewhere dry for a couple of days (airing cupboard, near a radiator...) till you're sure it's completely free of water then check for corrosion, it will look like white/green crystaline stuff on exposed metal contacts. Gently clear away any you find and only then re connect the battery, keeping your fingers crossed.
[HTC One S] hunabku:
It sound freaking stupid but it worked: A guy put a phone which was dropped into water and didnt turn on, in the freezer for a few days and it turned on after that and worked perfectly. Funny as hell eh :cyclops: :good:

Edit: If you know what distilled water is, you can try rinsing the phone in it, then wait and dry it out.

The thing is, cause it was dropped into a bath it might have dried up something-something in it, which can conduct electricity and cause problems.
[HTC One S] beats4x:
This time, I think the phone is finished. Insurance ftw. If any of your devices in the future become water damaged, don't try to turn them on. Take them as apart as you can and toss it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days.

This will work 99% of the time. The rice sucks out all the moisture, insuring that you don't fry your motherboard or anything. I spilled an entire cup of water onto my laptop and after 3 days of rice treatment it was back up and running. This was two years ago and it's still going strong.

Hello guys,

I just have the chance to try out GTA Vice City on my HOX!!!!

I have very good news for everyone! The game runs much better, then GTA III.

I set everything (except "distance drawing") to maximum.

Good step Rockstar! Maybe i will make a video later on.

@Whitecookie

I've been trying VC during all day and it runs not as smooth as I was waiting in my HTC One X+

May u put an screenshot of ur current settings to run it so smooth?

I've been trying it on a Galaxy Note 2 and It runs as fast as hell, but hey... graphics on it are so awful ^^

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] Whitecookie:
I do not use any other apps like Gaming Boost or something else... with this settings, it runs OK on my One X. If i would run GTA III with the same settings, it wouldn´t be playable. If you reduce screen resolution, it runs even better!

But you are right! You would except much more from a 1,5 (or 1,7 Ghz in your case) quadcore. I do not really understand, where our Tegra 3 has its problem !?

My specs:

[HTC One X] Rouz.:
I purchased this game on my tf300t, and then it was pulled from the market. I wonder what will happen to my 5 bucks. It would be a shame if I have to purchase it again when its available.

Still cool to see it runs on One X. I couldn't run it on my tablet because of xapk validation error.

[HTC One X] Gizumhi:
@Whitecookie What rom are u using?
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
Anyone know how to get cheats working?
[HTC One X] Whitecookie:
You need an app called "Gamekeyboard"

Then you can use all Cheats for the PC version.

You can also mod the game, like the normal PC version... when i will be ready, i will post some screenies

[HTC One X] Whitecookie:
Its a little bit tricky...

I use Holo Launcher HD and set the appdrawer to vertical scrolling.

Now you have to start the game and minimize it with the home button.

Then you start the gamekeyboard and select the last option. (With version 2.0)

Now the keyboard appears. Now start the game again and enter your desired cheats. If you press the back button, you will have to start from beginning.

I don't know, whether someone understood this description or not... I will make a picture-based tutorial tomorrow.

[HTC One X] mando508:
I've just tested stock ICS 4.0.4 and then stock JB with Vice City... performance on jb is disappointing, on ICS I could max out this game and it was running better than GTA 3 on default setting.. htc screwed up something... i saw on yt that N7 is running it much better.

I hate this update, rosie sucks, no scrollable wallpaper, widgets redrawing all the time and for me it was smoother on ICS. Only camera performance is great. Oh and about gaming: in NFS MW car reflections are mess, but framerate is very good... So far 4.0.4 was the best update by htc : d
[HTC One X] niksssss:
Guys ! Use the gaming boost! Without it I get around 25-30 FPS with drops on 20% render distance, 50% resolution and high details. Now i dont drop below 40-50 FPS with 100% resolution, 30% render distance and max details. Also i get 25-30 fps maxed out without drops ! Everything on ARHD 17.1 and no cpu changes! I will upload a video tomorrow!
[HTC One X] sc00by666:
I must try AR HD 17.1. On InsertCoin 14.0.2, gaming boost and your settings I have FPS between 20 and 30 (yours 40-50?). So sad.

edit.

I installed AR HD 17.1 and.... nothing change(15-25 fps max detals). Do you use FPS Meter?

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

I'd would like to test that assertion. The human eye already can't discern individual frames at 24 Hz, the speed at which many theatrical films are played. I would say that in a double blind test (where both you and the tester don't know what FPS is being displayed) that the chance of you getting it right will be about the same as random chance. This isn't a troll at you, bro, but a fact of human physiology.

In fact, playing at higher frame rates is a waste of hardware. All it is is marketing. "Look at us, we have 100Hz". Fact of the matter is, that no one can tell the difference. Companies are just hitting people up for more money. You're better of with a card with more memory, etc, than raw frame rates. Anyone who says otherwise isn't testing fairly, i.e. knows what the displayed frame rate is.
[HTC One X] Gizumhi:
Im not agree...

Always u can feel the difference between playing on 30fps or 60fps, is not about your eye, its about feeling, mobile, consoles pc or whatever

Many people have told me that but I am sure that I can notice the difference between 30 and 60FPS ! I dont say that I see lag in 30FPS but i see more smoothness in 60FPS !

EDIT: I dont have a 120Hz monitor and I havent tried this but - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2IF9ZPwgDM this guy seems to notice difference even between 60 and 120FPS...

[HTC One X] Zipperface:

[HTC One X] shankly1985:
For £1.50 I had to get this game. What I dont like is the slow down in frame rate when running all settings on max, I mean come on we have a 4 core nvidia cpu and it has trouble running this game smooth?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Game works smoothly for me on MAX settings...

Interactive/Gaming + row... 1.3 Ghz...
[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Its not about what the human eye can see, so lets just get that out there right now. From 30 to 60 and again to 120 frame per second, its not about seeing its about feel and motion. a frame rate of 120fps vs 30fps feels much more smooth and fluid.

So get this out the way because all this talk about human eye can see etc has nothing to do with frame rate.
[HTC One X] aseferfan:
Anyone tested how this works in ARHD 21?

i am playing it with gaming boost at max setting (draw still 50%)

and getting like 30 to 40 fps with sometimes drops?? is it normal??

kernel is ARHD default and my arhd is without any tweaks
[HTC One X] Sadman Khan:
Difference between 30 and 60 fps can't always be perceived...depends on how the game is optimised...if you guys have played Devil May Cry "5" , you'd know..it is DAMN fast but the game is 30 fps...didnt know until i checked :P

[HTC One X] Sadman Khan:
Nope you don't need repack...download xm296 sense and flash the kernel and modules...then use the settings we recommended and you're good to go ..have fun :D and it works flawlessly on ARHD by the way..i know because i use ARHD :P

WOOOOOT Thanks to you guys my GTA is running 60fps most of the time lol without gamebooster :D

installed xm and trickster and did your settings and got all this results :D :D

though if you could answer just four question of mine

is that kenrel somehow hiddenly damaging my hardware??:confused:

my battery temp is going 47 c which is quite hot.is that normal?

also in GTA and other games at first i get 2 big lag spikes and then everything 40-60 fps.is it normal?:confused:

and what settings are you guys using?im using 40% draw with max res max setting and shadows and bumping between 30-60 fps :)

thanks :D :D

EDIT:also can you suggest which governor i\o combo should i use for daily use + music? :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Sadman Khan:
For normal usage, smartmax + row....and as long as your temperatures do not cross 65, don't stop gaming :P and honestly overheating is only when it crosses 80 degrees and it reboots! Other than that, it's totally fine :D it wouldn't harm your phone in any way :) bit it's better not to charge and game at the same time... And yeah max settings is what i'd recommend ;)

And less than 55 degrees is perfectly normal don't worry!

Sent from my Revolutionary Htc One X HD :D
[HTC One X] aseferfan:
oow i dont think i ever crossed 55 lol so xm is perfectly safe thought since my phone is now more cool and more smooth XD :D:D

and you guys using 100% draw distance? for me its kinda lagging(drops to 25-30) and umm at start of the game i get 2-3 lag spikes i guess thats when governor scales cpu higher huh??

On latest CMR. This has never been a problem. Bought a new sd card. Card works perfectly. Went to flash an update and have error saying can't read external sd card. Reformat. Remounted. Still no luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ac29593:
Lol yeah, thanks for the response though.

I would try it, but since I already moved all my files off and on after reformat I feel like I wasted too much time with this already.

I can still flash from internal card, and my external sd card works perfectly otherwise so it really doesn't make a difference.

I guess we can all just make note that a reformat doesn't work in this situation so it can save some people trouble and time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha the above scenario is why you likely don't want to leave it as is. No recovery will see your external sd card if it's formatted to exfat. So, you'll have to use your internal storage to flash roms if you don't have it formatted to Fat32.

You can check the format by plugging your external sd card into a computer right clicking the drive and pressing "Format" (don't worry a second window opens) or I think you can also see it by selecting "Properties."
