Or just buy the unlock code, it's probably the easiest way unless your able to get the code from T-Mobile
[Sony Xperia ZR] alan573819:
I noticed that my flash photos had a blue/greenish cast over them at one end.

I initially thought there was a problem with the phone, but a quick experiment showed that the silicone case I use with phone was refracting some of the light from the flash into the camera lens.

I cut out the small section of the case between the flash and the lens and the problem disappeared.

Attached are before/after photos, both of flash photos taken with the phone and the doctored case.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ymyzhifeng:
Hi, fella forumers! I'm just wondering: how many of your Defy have lost (or still retain) its waterproofness up to now?

Mine has lost this quality about half a year ago. At first I noticed that there were vapours gathering inside the screen, which would go away if I opened the back lid for a while. But once the micro-USB port totally stoppoed functioning that I wasn't able to charge the battery, so I have to got it repaired. I was told that circuit board has water stains which caused the malfunctioning...

It's actually my seconf Defy, which was bought in Oct. 2011, after I've forgotten my first Defy in taxi... I was pretty satified with Defy at that moment and really value its waterproofness, so I didn't hesitate to buy a second one while there were already a lot of more advanced (but not waterproofing) smart phones on the market. Therefore, its waterproofness just lasted for roughly two years, which is much shorter than I had expected. I thought for at least five years it would be as new as just rolling out of the assembling line every time I washed it under tap water - but it turned out to be not the truth, sadly.

Well, I have to admit that I did wash my Defy regularly - in fact almost everyday, because - well, 'scientists' say that computer keyboards and mobile phones (previously it was traditional telephone) collect more germs, etc. that toilets. So eveytime I was back home, I just put it under the tap water, briefly let the currents to go through it. It shouldn't hurt, right?

Right now my Defy is completely 'hydrophobic'. I no longer dip it in water. I guess I will continue to use it for a year or two. Still, the fact is not up to my high expectation.

So, I would like to see if this is my own unfortune or a normal phenomenon. It's quite critial to know the result because if I do change my mobile phone, I would definitely choose a waterproofing one still. But now my confidence for such phones has been significantly weakened. If new phones repeat this fate after just a couple of years, I don't think it's really meaningful to pay more money for this not-long-lasting porperty.

Maybe the manufacturing technoligy has already advanced - phones nowadays are tougher than their predecessors?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldfusionhybrid:
Well, mine is about 8 months old (yes, I could've bought a newer device but thats a different story). In my time of using this phone, I would only say its water resistant and not exactly waterproof. Sometimes when I dip it in water (either to clean it after a busy day outdoors or when friends want to test it), i realize that some traces of tiny droplets do make it inside (looks like vapor sometimes). But it does not enter the battery area. This is probably due to the rubber lining. It still worries me as these traces of tiny droplets did somewhat enter.

I would suggest cleaning it with a wet cloth instead. Treat the waterproofing like it is an emergency feature...just in case :)

If and when you want to switch phones and still want waterproof, I'd say look at Sony. If you need removable battery, the Xperia ZR looks promising and if you don't mind not being able to access the battery, their other models are alright too. For me personally, battery life is important.

R u using any custom ROM?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
My defy is waterproof to a great extent, but steam does enter, and sometimes condenses on the inside of the screen, and the camera lens. But under running water/rain no water enters. I once kept it in a bucket of water for some time, and a few drops made it to the edge, or maybe they came from the cover itself. So, it's good enough for me
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vai0:
Mine lost 6 months back. the rubber round usb port got deteriorated and then came off. Now i cant cover usb port with the lid. cant find it selling anywhere either.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ymyzhifeng:
Yes, I've been flashing Quarx's roms. ;)

I agree with you that Sony's Xpreia might be a good candidate, but it's only IP57 or IP55, right? So the grade is even lower than our Defy.

In fact it seems that nowadays at the market there are only two major series of waterproof smart phones: Sony's Xperia and Samsung's Galaxy S4 Active. Some sources mentioned that the latter is not that water-resistent. Of course there are other tougher phones which are heavily-armoured, but there are twice thicker and heavier - real bricks. Some have suggested that Lenovo's S750 is the next Defy, but as far as I can see, the technology used for waterproofness is the same of Defy's. Naturally I doubt if it will last longer than Defy.

IMHO, I think, at least in my case, the water enters into my Defy mainly through the back battery lid. It's made of a piece of platics that bends after year's using, so there comes the gap between the rubber band. Also, as vai0 has mentioned, the USB lid is vulnerable for the same reason. There's no conern for the headset jack, because it's totally made of rubber.

Anyway, I wish factories like Samsung and Lenovo will not follow Motorola and just make only one shot for good, but will keep designing new tough phones to the market. :cowboy:

By the way, I don't think phones like Moto X applied with nano-coating does not make too much sense, since the phone's still not watertight after all.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldfusionhybrid:
The Sony may be ip55/57 but its good enough from what I've read. As for Samsung, I didn't suggest it because I don't like how they design things. Its appalling and I feel as if its insulting the consumer with their designs and material finish. Unfortunately, Samsung is one of the very few manufacturers that constantly deliver on 2 other important things (to me); removable battery and expandable storage. Still won't buy from them. But hey, thats just me. As for Lenovo, I have not tried it yet. Personally, I'm looking at the Xperia ZR at the moment if i choose to change (will still keep my Defy+ as secondary if i change :)). A review in case you're interested too

Yeah, nano-coating isn't really water-proofing. I find it more like a water resistant protection. Sometimes there are phone models that become popular to the point that accessory makers produce cases that offer some sort of protection against water/dust. Thats something you can look at as well (with caution of course)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gooodly:
Defy is not water proof, it is water resistant. I did never wash it or put it into water and it is still in good condition (bought 06/2011), now with Android 4.4.

I'm replacing it with an XCover2 (IP67 certified) and also there the manual warns to immerse it in water although it has an underwater camera.

Hello,

since Christmas I'm a happy owner of Prestigio PMP5101c.

But I've installed a lot of apps, ran out of free space and found out that I can't move the apps to the external SD card, but there's only option to move it to the internal storage (the tablet memory is separated into internal memory/internal storage), so it seems like the external SD card is good only for movies, music, etc.

I downloaded some apps (like APP2SD), but it recognizes the internal storage as an SD card and the external SD card isn't even showing in there. :(

Is there a way (through rooting, custom firmware) how I can change this? Or maybe a config file?

Thank you very much for you help. :good:

Follow this tutorial here before installing cm

You have to install twrp recovery from maclaw

And we don't need to update anything for installing a rom and say hi for rooting ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clostry:
I just give you a hint of what you need, there are lots of guides on this forum just search for them and read carefully ;)

First of all you must know that installing custom ROMs is potentially dangerous, it may brick your phone and it voids your warranty, you do it at your own risk.

Make sure your phone is supported by the software you're going to install, S3 mini aren't all equal, check for model number.

Before installing CM 11 you should install a custom recovery (TWRP from maclaw.pl is recommended for installing kitkat), than you can do a nandroid backup and restore it if something goes wrong, and install custom ROMs very easily.

To flash the custom recovery you need odin in windows (you can find it on maclaw.pl download page) or heimdall in linux. About odin there are lots of tutorials, just search for them, but if you need help with heimdall just ask for it :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james.faction:
Maclaw has great instructions too on their download page - be sure to download their ODIN version to flash with Odin.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yachter99:
You are bootlooping because the root method used on this phone removes the stock recovery, thus the phone keeps trying, and failing, to install the update. As far as I'm aware the only way you can get out of the bootloop is to boot into fastboot and re-flash stock 12.15.15 (luckily because the 4.4 update has not installed on your device you will be able to keep your lower firmware, and thus re-root). However I am not 100% sure this is the only solution, and this would wipe your phone as well. I recommend waiting for more responses or looking around for a possible other solution if you prefer to try to not wipe your phone....
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexicon:
I haven't had time to look around and find the thread, but I was able to find a thread that allowed me to FXZ using fastboot to restore 12.15.15 and restore everything, leaving your data intact. Worked like a charm when I was stuck in the bootloop. So, it's doable.
