PCB's can get wet that's never an issue. Putting a little paint from a spray can isn't going to 100% cover every single electrical connection and prevent them from arcing. It also can't help on surfaces that can not be covered, any surface contact terminal. Taking your phone apart and spraying it with this chemical won't give you any more protection than not using it at all. If you need water protection you need to keep the water out.

NeverWet not for electronics

I bought 2 sets of the NeverWet from Home Depot. The FAQ says it is NOT to be used for electronics. I believe the video with the iPhone was the developer who later says he worked with Home Depot to bring the technology to the marketplace. I do not think it is the same formulation as the video. It's not for clothing either as demonstrated in the video. I tried it and it requires 4 coats, two coats of step 1, then two coats of step 2. The product lays a thick layer of rubbery stuff that is milky white in color and rough feeling like fine grained sand on top of the surface. Clearly not (pun intended) for even consideration on the screen. It will give your phone more grip. Likely it will create a mess and if you don't mess up the contacts for the charger or the headphone, then you likely haven't got it water proof or even water resistant. I would NOT try this on any phone I intend for anyone to ever use. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
That definitely doesn't sound like the original product the inventor made. The stuff that was sold on Amazon (by the barrel) sounds a lot different. I guess Rust-Oleum jacked it up pretty good before bringing it to market. Maybe it would still be good for outside use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skinzy98:
I didn't see anybody mention it but when you do this to your phone if it gets wet you have to wait 24 hours to charge or it will fry the lhone

I'm just going to stick with not dropping my phone into any water, but gotta mention, my Fiance actually left her Galaxy S3 in her pants when she went to wash her clothes and the S3 lasted a 54 minute wash, turned on and functioned properly and thats without anything sprayed on, but from the video it looks like its a great product, not willing to try on my phone though... so I'm assuming the S4 is better built.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Mind trying it with the s4 to see if it's as durable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
I have done this on an older phone I have to test it. It can only be used internally. While it does essentially make the device "waterproof" water will still leak through in between the glass and screen. You cannot get it in any connections or they will no longer work. Do not put it on the screen, it leaves a milky whit film.

Basically this is good for keeping water out if you were to drop it in a puddle and grab it up fast, but prolonged exposure to water will damage the device in one way or another.

Galaxy Gear+Neverwet??

so I got a galaxy gear smartwatch this Christmas as a gift. I was somewhat disappointed to learn that this watch has no water resistance and to boot there didn't even appear to be any sort of case at all to protect the $300 device on my wrist against every day things like washing my hands. i bought a set of Neverwet after looking at the video online. Even after reading this entire thread I am still considering applying this to my watch and seeing how it works. my question is has anybody tested if continuity is retained through this stuff? because that would be a pretty bad thing if it was not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slmmdtruck05:
I wanted to add that the Neverwet product is labeled as "Frosted Clear" to anyone considering this for waterproofing. so no, it's probably not the best idea since it will have a 'frosted' or milky finish on your device. I have been searching for an 'added security' for my LG G2, and noticed neverwet in the discussion. hope this comment saves else someone $20

Guys,

I have an Active but its probably the same for the regular S4.

I was just transferring a bunch of music files to my phone wirelessly and I was shocked how slow it was.

I just got under 2MB/s on a 72mbit link with WPA2 AES encryption.

I had full bars connecting to a Asus AC66U router.

I thought AC wifi is capable of almost gigabit speeds.

How do I see if my phone is using N or AC? Is there a way to force an AC connection.

Anyone else have the Asus AC router?

Can you post your speeds.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legacystar:
Are you transferring to the internal memory or an sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 299792458:
Make sure you are actually connecting to the right access point. By default, the 2.4 and 5 GHz APs will have the same SSID, so just change one so they are different and always connect to the fast one.

On my rt-ac66u the 5GHz upload (file writing to NAS) speed is nearly 3x faster than the 2.4GHz from phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicotheandroidguy:
That depends on the Internet speed you pay for through your provider. The router can handle 1GB speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
It also depends on the speed of the phones processor and write speeds on the memory card whether it be internal or external. I have an AC66R and it connects at ac speeds I'm assuming. I haven't found a way to find out if it uses ac or something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legacystar:
Internet speed doesn't factor in since this is internal network transfer .

Storage write speed could be the factor if writing to a class 2 sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DA717:
I have an net gear R6300 AC router and I used the es root explorer to copy files and I get about 9MB/s.. fluctuates a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Are you sure they is no one else around you using the same channel?

I would have rather had usb3 than ac. Wireless is just not reliable when it comes to speed.

(Actually what I REALLY want is gigE. I have 8 drops around the house...could make it 16 if I bought a 16 port switch. That sounds be nice.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vacaloca:
I have the Asus AC router as well. Make sure you name your APs differently (e.g. add a 5G suffix to the 5GHz radio) The phone might connect to the 2.4GHz one otherwise. There is a way to force the phone to pick 5GHz APs, but requires an app/rooted phone:

See:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1892536
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
If you have both networks passworded there is no way it can connect from the 5Ghz to the 2.4Ghz band. That's common sense. Do you take us for idiots? Mine always connects to "The G-Spot 5Ghz". The other network is "The G-Spot 2.4Ghz".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
Your S4 will need to use the 5Ghz band for faster speed but it won't get anywhere near the claim of 1300Mbps. That only happens when you have at least three antennas to do MIMO for wifi and most likely a compatible wifi chipset. I am not sure how many antennas S4 has but you can use WiFi Analyzer to check the link speed. Link speed doesn't mean your actual real world transfer speed though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
It shows my S4 connected at a link speed of 433Mbps. The 2.4Ghz band shows a link speed of 72Mbps.

LiquidSmooth v2.7 question

LiquidSmooth v2.7 won't connect to my 5G. Does anyone know why not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
That's what I have when I am connected at home as well. I can safely guess the S4 only has one antenna and 433Mb is the best it can do. For 2.4Ghz one should be able to do 150Mb but I never try. I didn't even try when I can connect to 5Ghz all around the house.

Hi,

I have a LG Optimus L5 e612 phone. Since the phone don't have NFC built, I compared it to the e610 phone which have. They are the same.

So, my question is, can I manually somehow add the NFC to the phone?

The NFC is on the back cover and it's powering on the phone. I know it's kinda crazy, but I want to experiment with it :)

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
SOLVED!! Thanks to everyone, especially bigdaddy and FinZ! I will post something about what I did and what I used to get S-Off since it is actually really easy once put into easy to understands terms :)

Hey everyone,

Everything was going really as I was rooting my Evo 4G LTE this afternoon, until I realized I forgot to S-off. TWRP was installed and Superuser was flashed - Anyways, I got antsy and wiped the phone and flashed CM 10.1 and realized I forgot S-off - so of course, the phone wouldn't boot past the HTC screen.

I've been trying to flash stock roms to get into the superuser app, but none of them will load. They start to flash in TWRP, then the phone reboots to the HTC splash screen.

I am now unlocked, but still S-on. I can't flash any roms right now and was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I even tried the process all over again, but I get the same problem. So as of now, I can't get an OS on the phone.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Edit: I was running the latest OTA with HBOOT 2.09.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
Flash meanbean or viper rom, both have s-on kernel installer and you should be able to get s-off using dirty racun or moonshine... Sharkie rom is a stock rom too with a s-on installer... Good Luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Question... How did you install your recovery? Goo manager, pj75img.zip, or fastboot? I have had this same problem and the only solution was to fastboot flash a recovery... Dunno it was very weird and has only happened on my lte but it's been months.

Flowed from my Jewel using Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
I installed it using fastboot. I'm going to try one of the ROMs suggested above and see if that works. I'll let you all know as soon as I do it.

I keep reading that Moonshine won't work with HBOOT 2.09 - and I haven't had any luck getting it to work; it still gives me connection issues saying it can't connect to the phone. It's weird... I can use the adb devices command in recovery mode and my device ID shows up, but when I go into fastboot USB and do adb devices, I can't get it to show up. If I could somehow get that to show up during fastboot, it would mean smooth sailing.

Update: I successfully installed Meanbean. However, I still cannot gain S-Off. Moonshine won't work and I do not know enough to use DirtyRacun since it must be used with Ubuntu. I'll post my Moonshine issues in that thread :)

Thanks for the help with this! It looks like it just needed a S-On ROM to be installed which I though I was doing before!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
I've tried every single HTC driver available and I can't get anything to recognize the Evo when it's in fastboot. It only recognizes the device when the ROM is loaded and USB storage is enabled. Unfortunately, I can't get s-off (as far as I know) without being in the bootloader and using fastboot.

Anyone know how I can achieve this or how I can get everything to communicate with one another like they're supposed to?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Have you deleted all the HTC stuff on your PC rebooted it the plug you phone back in and it should load the drivers again

then boot into bootloader and it should load more drivers

also try updating your android-sdk
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Make sure you have the most current HTC driver. At least one person that I know of had issues until he updated to the most recent driver, which can be found in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179776

Also, like Bigdaddy said, make sure you have things like HTC Sync removed. Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port, too. I don't know where you read Moonshine doesn't work with Hboot 2.09, because it does (specifically for the latest OTA).

Hello

For the past week, I have been having a MTP driver error. I have tried using using kies but the same thing happens. I've been able to connect and install the MTP driver successfully before but now it doesn't seem to work. I looked into regedit.exe for Upperfilters but I couldn't find it. I also tried updating my Windows Media Player but it is already updated. I am currently using the GOLDENEYE 2.0 rom by iB4STiD. I have looked up everywhere and tried mostly every possible solution - if there are anymore - and still no sign of fixing this driver problem. From reinstalling windows to reinstalling drivers, still no go. I've tried USB debugging on and off but the same result for the past 10000000000times. I am willing to try new solutions if there are any. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH - i337. I appreciate any help that would be provided to fix this MTP driver error. Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WoodburyMan:
Have you tried the rear USB ports on your computer? Mine occasionally fails with both my S4 (Any rom) and my Galaxy Tab 2 if I use the front ports on the computer. Additionally, stupid question but have you tried restarting both the phone and the computer? Does it connect and work on another computer?

Also: Do you have a SD card in your phone? Sometimes if a SD card was having filesystem issues and I tried to plug it in to my PC, I would get random errors in device manager for MTP devices. Took the card out it would work. Formatted card and put back in, would work fine. (MTP service on the phone freaked out and crashed when it tried to read corrupt SD card).

sorry about the super-late reply. i havent really "gotten into" the XDA forums until recently, so i hadnt checked to see if anyone responded to my posts. my bad. anyways. i have "OTA update i437p 4.1.2" its a *.cfg file though, and it contains aboot.mbn, rpm.mnn, sbl2.mbn, ... and a few more. there are also a few folders (recovery, patch, system...). i cant remeber i how i flashed to the phone with odin, but with heimdall you can flash the individual files as long as you include a *.pit for the phone which can easily be create with heimdall also, so i am sure odin can do this too

anyways the file is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47920086/2400258.cfg and like i said its OTA update i437p 4.1.2 . so i hope you have the "p" model. :/

3. power off phone

4. go into recovery by pressing: power button+volume down+home button

5. look for something that says: install update from zip or from external storage or something along those lines

6. click on the file downloaded from the link above.

7. select install

8. select "yes-install)

Right b4 this practice the battery indicator showed 94% and stuck on that, after the above applied, then it jumps to 100% :!:

Could this be a bug? I remember right after when this iMate was released the ClubImate released what they claimed battery LONGEVITY patch which apparently it is just a .dll file :!:

Press and hold power, the back,home,recent apps buttons will blink a bunch of times and the screen will shut off. When the screen shuts off, let go of power and then press and hold volumedown until the bootloader comes up.

Select recovery, from there you can mount your phone and then copy a proper Rom for your device and then flash it.

If selecting recovery also bootloops, then do the same thing to get into boptlpader again and then reflash recovery then fastboot erase cache then select recovery from bootloader and from there you can flash a proper Rom.

This should be a good lesson for you to read and understand before messing with your phone. What you did was pretty dangerous. HTC one x and att one x are NOT the same phone.
