fixing condensation in a phone

I think that the phone died because of temperature which lead to condensation..

Condensation can kill any electronics (not camera lens).

I've tested the phone and yes, i've got some condensation too on the front and back camera after throwing the phone for over 30min into a tank with cold water - this was for testing purposes, the room was warm.

To fix the condensation, turn the phone off, open all the flaps and put Your phone in a box filled with rice. Close the box.

Mine took 4h and the condensation was fully gone...You can also try silica bags - can be found in shoe boxes.

The phone is water resistant to a specific set of guide lines and industry standard codes. The phone is not water proof. I knew we would start seeing post like this as so many members misleadingly think the XZ is 'water proof' .

The water resistance is a safety standard and not ment for deliberate testing as in taking it in the shower or swimming pool and as for a sauna? Bloomin absurd. Shame the XZ has a much higher level of artificial intelligence than so many of its owners.

Makes me ponder just how many car owners drive it into a wall to test the air bags and seat belts? :rolleyes:

It was so predictable this sort of thread would start. Part of the problem is due to Sony's own rather silly advertising blurb.

[HTC One X] Xenodwarf:
SOLVED

Got a tricky situation here. I just installed Windows 8 coming from Ubuntu.

I strugled for a bit to get ADB and Fastboot to work, Mass Storage was working from the start.

After getting ADB and FB to work suddenly mass storage is not working at all.

In Device Manager I've got two My HTC under Android USB Device. Sort of wierd. This is allso the case if i enable mass storage on the device,

but nothing pops up in the file manager.

I installed a dual boot with Linux just to be sure its not the device and can confirm that it's not, everything is all peachy in Linux.

Any help would be appreciated. :confused:
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:
Can't really understand what you're describing but fastboot usb doesn't have the ability to mount usb mass storage.

If you're unlocked, proceed to recovery to mount mass storage.

If not unlock, boot the phone and mount it under Android.

If you have some knowledge on terminal/cmd, you can actually move the file through adb commands.

[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
The HTC One is very much looking like the next phone for me long term, but all this talk about how poor HTC is doing is making me wonder is it worth the risk if they go bust, then I guess the software would stop getting updates, warranty wouldn't be covered if things go wrong, no sell on value as well.

What are peoples' thoughts?
[One (M7) General] manook:
1) Here in the uk warranty wouldnt be an issue as the contract is with the company you purchased the phone from and not the manufacturer. I dunno how it works in other countries but we are safe this side of the pond.

2) If the development community is thriving then I wouldnt worry about updates (i plan on jumping straight to cyanogenmod if it is ever supported).

3) Sell on value would naturally be effected but thats the risk you take with anything you buy these days.

Personally I cant see HTC going under and if they do, ah well, not like im spending thousands.

Dont forget they are still the 4th largest manufactor of phones in the world.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
That thought did cross my mind too but I do not think they would go bust or do a blackberry and mess things up totally.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
HTC isn't going busted. They are not in bankrupcy they only have lesser sales but still they earn a gross of million dollars per quarter. It's just it is low compared to other phone companies. Don't be a paranoid, the smartphone manufacturing sector is one of the most lively business today there's no way any company would go bankrupt from it. There's far too many other OEMs which has lower sales than HTC infact HTC has even higher sales compared to blackberry and LG.
[One (M7) General] radiotrib:
GRRR .. how do you remove a thanks !! ... Fat fingers and a touchpad don't mix !!!

Of course HTC isn't going bust .. what a daft idea. Their sales have slowed per quarter year on year when the crazy economy nowadays expects constant growth. If HTC comes a respecatble third behind Samsung and Apple that will satisfy the company goals as long as they take back some more market share.

Remeber that the percentage of market share figures being shown around are dependent on the size of the market. Samsung has done an enormous job (and spent an enormous amount of money) expanding the overall market. 10% of the market 5 years ago is nowhere near as good as 5% of the current market, and that's mainly thanks to the marketing divisions of Samsung and Apple competing to take over the world ...

On the other hand, HTC has always produce a 'disruptive' product every couple of years, one which stretches the envelope in some way or another. They innovate, the others market ... There will always be a relatively small but extremely comfortable place for HTC top-end phones ... and don't forget ... they made white-box phones for other companies and carriers for years before 'coming out' ... there's still a market there too.

Worry more for Nokia, Blackberry and a few others. The likes of Samsung and LG are appliance manufacturers and Apple are computer manufacturers so they have safe business to fall back on. Once the Cellphone market starts to approach saturation they'll ease off .. but right now the race is for a decent slice of China, South America and India ... Let's see how HTC acceptance is in those regions before we start to ring any funeral bells :)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes this post pisses me off as well

HTC has so far been profitable, ie: they are not yet sustaining operational losses

yes yes sales are down, but the latest numbers are just media FUD, with a new supreme SINGLE flagship almost released no one would buy their old flagships

the recent news is that they are at their lowest pre android level, surprising how they've survived and grew back then if its a near death experience

besides even if they cross into "loss", companies can survive this state for years as well
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
What everyone else said, plus: Absolute WORST CASE scenario, they get bought. A company with as much valuable talent, branding, IP and carrier/manufacturing partnerships as HTC doesn't "go bust". Who would buy them? Well, ASUS is a Taiwanese company that desperately wants to transition successfully into the phone market..
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
A bit OT but I have a feeling they will release more phones than just "ONE" over this year but I really hope they don't as it's just easier to maintain and support 1 phone a year rather than 6 or more.
[One (M7) General] robinwu007:
you are so funny, man.:laugh:
[One (M7) General] nickmgray:
While it's true that HTC's revenue and profits have been depleting for about 18 months, the company is actually doing quite well when compared to Sony, Motorola, Nokia, BlackBerry and a few others. All of those companies have been operating at a loss for quite some time, yet they have managed to stay alive.

The fact that HTC is changing its approach with the One is actually a very good sign. The company will be able to focus its software development efforts on fewer devices and throw its entire marketing budget behind one device. We will see other HTC devices launch in the coming months, but a handful of HTC execs have stated that a number of phones were killed off so that the company could make the HTC One a priority.

If things go really bad with the HTC One this year and can't find a way to reverse its downward trend, HTC will still be around for at least 2-3 years before they would need to file for bankruptcy.

[One (M7) General] jmitr:
I could not agree more. HTC made less PROFIT this quarter making it their lowest performing quarter since the nexus one days.

Remember winmo? This site used to be all HTC, their stock was rising based on decisions like branding on their own etc. The One will be the largest rollout since the Touch pro 2. They are still more profitable now since then. HTC isn't going anywhere.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
I think HTC is unlikely to go bust. They took everything they learned from the Sensation line and gave us the One X. As they realized various issues, HTC rapidly adapted their phones to fix issues of the past. Things like the WiFi antenna issue will never happen again. Sense 5 is much more in line with AOSP and Holo, with much better functional addition. They brought back the aluminum unibody. They innovated new features, brought a truly good camera to the table rather than better optics and a good camera app. They added new sound hardware and truly delivered on their promise to give great sound instead of just an equalizer. The list just keeps going on.

HTC has shown that they rapidly adapt to fix their weaknesses and give customers what they want. I think that is what will ensure their survival.

by the way HTC just closed a 10 year deal with apple, a 3 year sponsorship with UEFA and has been on a hiring spree, so yea it's safe to say they are not going anywhere

don't let media FUD get to you ;)

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

the strategy is for one supreme flagaship, no other devices for at least half a year, and with a very high chance of a One + mid year

there will definitely be other mid to low range devices, a phablet + tablet maybe

considering that even Apple is about to release two iPhones (and two ipads, ipod etc) you can't really expect a phone specific company like HTC to just go for one device, actually no body releases one device...stop dreaming

but they did fix their biggest mistake which was release three competing flagships last year (One S, X, XL)

a mid year refresh will not hurt, in fact it will persuade those considering the One mid year but tempted with newer devices specifications, all their previous mid year refresh were basically the same device with a slight speed+battery boost/ refinement to the finish/red accents! so no matter how the minority of XDA memebers like to cry about those minor refresh releases, ITS STILL THE SAME DEVICE

yesterday i saw the One X+ with someone and i asked him if i can see it, i just couldn't stop myself from laughing all those who freaked out when it was announced, its 99% the One X, HTC have the same team for what basically is the same firmware on both, in fact im all for it, refreshing the same device actually entices HTC to keep the updates flowing

[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
Why on earth would Samsung want to buy HTC? HTC's patent portfolio is tiny compared to the big boys, Samsung could simply hire any talented HTC employees, I can see no upside to a potential purchase.

A more probable purchaser would be one of the upcoming Chinese low-cost companies, and that would most likely be for their name recognition. Hopefully HTC survives in its own right.
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's how the business world works. Public companies like HTC sells shares of themselves to institutional and individual investors and take the money received to reinvest in the business to drive sales and profit. When successful, that growth elevates the stock value appreciating the investment made by shareholders and creates the cash needed to invest in sales, marketing, and R&D. Here's how HTC's stock has been performing. Between the peak on the chart and January of this year it's lost 84% of its value. It further declined since then but I don't feel like creating a new chart. They reported a $34MM profit for the Q4 2012 holiday selling season which is abysmal and pretty close to "zero" for a company with their scale and sales volume.

So OP's question isn't as ridiculous as some of you have tried to make it seem. Multi-billion dollar companies don't disappear overnight and HTC won't either. Their decline is usually slow and agonizing. What typically happens is, in the face of declining revenue, profit, and cash, they start to cut back. Typically it's in areas like R&D and marketing along with overall layoffs. Those steps usually cause sales to decline further and faster as the company becomes less competitive and we know how cut throat the mobile device business is. Even less sales mean even more cutbacks until there's nothing left to cut. Somewhere in that process it’s likely, because of their brand equity, someone will either acquire HTC or they'll enter in to a JV where another company takes a controlling interest. HTC is nothing more than a "packager" of third party components so they have no real assets to sell. They have some intellectual capital (EG: the Sense development team) but a competitor could hire those people rather than having to take on a troubled company in its entirety. So HTC's "brand" is the only thing they possess of sellable value.

The impact to existing customers will most likely be felt in poorer support and, for a mobile device, less frequent updates because there will be fewer development staff employed. So things like warranty repairs won't be affected but turnaround times for those repairs could be. A company in HTC's financial condition can't continue with the status quo; it's just not possible. I know this sounds pretty grim but it is what it is.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
support from HTC has never been better, deal with apple, UEFA sponsorship, new ultra acclaimed one device

I don't understand how a company constantly improving while doing so bad, perphaps it shows how bad or corrupt the entire stock system works

when an analyst can kill a company with a strike of a pen just when they are about to launch their newest highly acclaimed product

suddenly I'm reminded of my wife's PHD on corporate governance...
[One (M7) General] aliveon2legs:
Uh, no.

If the rumors of the supply shortages turn out to be false, HTC's stock will shoot back to where it was, or better. Those that take that risk will be rewarded. If the rumors are true, the market is doing its job by punishing HTC. The shareholders are paying the bills, after all.

Does anyone know how much HTC contributes to Taiwan?

If it is significant - I could see Taiwan stepping in, especially if it meant avoiding a Chinese company taking over.
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
Apparently their already contemplating some type of bail out. But I'm sure it would come with strings (they all do) and probably necessitate a new business plan as well as management changes. With years of repeating the same strategy leading to little change in performance pumping government money in to them isn’t going to change their performance; only postpone the inevitible.

"It’s no secret that competition in the smarthpone sector has had a devastating blow on HTC. Its market share has dropped, resulting in less than stellar quarterly earnings reports. In an effort to keep the company from collapsing, the Taiwan Central Bank Governor is asking its government to intervene. Taiwan suffered a huge 11.6-percent year-over-year decline in exports for the month of July, much of which could be attributed to HTC’s downward spiral in the markets.

We’re not exactly sure what the bailout proposal will look like or what HTC would have to agree to, but we’re not so sure that this is the best move for HTC."​
