[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QyuBurt:
Hi all,

First off I would like to thank anyone and everyone that reads this thread, it helps me out if you have any information that could help me out here.

About a week or so ago my girlfriend dropped her Nexus 5 in water, and removed it almost immediately then brought it to me. Sadly the damage was already done and the screen was black. I got the back off and got as much water out as I could shake gently, and the screen still had haptic feedback when I touched it, so I messaged it and it displayed the notification light. This led me to believe the battery was ok, so we left the back off and let it dry for a while, and over time the screen and sound came back. We placed the phone overnight in dry rice, and for the meantime we put her SIM in an old S2. The next morning there was obvious water damage on the screen but less than before, and everything seemed to be working fine, games ran, music played, messages came and went on Hangouts, and when we plugged it in to charge it worked like a charm, so we believed we had gotten lucky, put it back in the rice overnight again and the next day tried putting the SIM card back in the phone.

The Nexus at this point asked to restart and we obliged, but this is when the problem started. It would get to the Google boot screen, hang, then restart, over and over. I tried going into recovery and I could, but no further than that. I am not an expert so don't know what would cause this, but I am led to believe that the battery and everything else is all in working order otherwise it wouldn't have been working and charging while it was on. I wonder if maybe there is a separate part of the phone used for BIOS bootup and it got damaged? Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix the issue would be met with extreme gratitude. Thanks for reading all this.

TL;DR Phone was dropped in water, aired out and worked fine, restarted for SIM card and get stuck in endless boot loop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
Take the device apart, remove the motherboard. Get some rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush.

Remove any shields that can be taken off to expose more components. Then start scrubbing!!! Continue until you get all of the green/white corrosion. If there are any black scorch marks on the connections, take a eraser and it will remove the burn mark, then continue to clean with alcohol. Also the flex cable connections would need to be cleaned also.

The next step is up to you, if you feel comfortable with it. Make sure all plastic and rubber pieces are off the motherboard. Then stick it in the oven on 400F for 30 min to reflow some of the solder that may have gotten damaged.

Put back together, you may have to factory reset if the software got corrupted.

It is still highly possible to recover the device.

Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
I wouldn't go so far as reflowing solder for a dry-out.

http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000BXOGNI?tag=adapas02-20

can be attained at your local auto supply, simply disassemble the boards and give them a once-over spray and wipe-down. Reassemble, and then troubleshoot the bootloop, which may require a full stock flash. Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
I am not reflowing to dry it, sometimes solder on the connections/components need to be reflowed when they got WD or the device will not function correctly.I have seen it more time that I can count.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
There wouldn't be solder damage when OP acted almost immediately to dry it out. A cleaning, further drying should be all that's needed. One should NEVER turn on electronics until fully disassembled, cleaned and dried in any event.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
The second the device hits air corrosion starts to build. Rice does nothing, it pulls a little bit of the water from the charge port and headset jack, basically what drips out. There is possibility that there is still water inside the device. He needs to open it up to scrub it down with a tooth brush and alcohol at least.The connections may break in time even after cleaning, that is why I suggest a reflow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
I don't disagree most of this up to the point of reflow, which should be an absolute, last-ditch exercise. If corrosion is a major concern, after cleaning with solvent, a Caig deoxit treatment would be my next advice, but I think reflow is best left to the experienced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QyuBurt:
Thanks to both of you for your advice on this. I will go and get some of the cleaning spray you suggested and give all the components a good clean, and will look for any scorch marks that may have occured when it was damaged. I would try flashing the OS as well but I'm not entirely sure how to do that when the phone has not been set up for USB Debugging. I attempted to flash it after unlocking the bootloader, but that didn't seem to work either. I will report back when I have performed the steps and let you know if there has been any progress.

Thanks =)

And to the guy above, sorry if it seemed I was arguing. A few too many drinks at that point. :-p
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Cowboy_Henk:
Hello,

After installing Windows 8.1 I can't seem to connect my A700 to the computer.

The computer recognizes the tablet as A700 and mtp device and can't find drivers for it.

I tried the google drivers Adb Composite device driver and such, it's get installed but still my A700 doesn't show up in my computer so I can't transfer my files to it!

So are there any Windows 8.1 drivers?

here is a pic, sorry for the dutch :) I'm from Belgium
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
MTP drivers are natively installed on Windows with Window Media Player

If you have a Windows "N" version (without media), you will have to install the pack separately
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Cowboy_Henk:
Thanks :) (and sorry for the "spamming" in the other thread.

Too bad I have to pay 10 euro to install Media Center Pack.

I've bought Windows 8 PRO upgrade, then upgraded to windows 8.1 pro for free via the store and when I want media center pack I have to pay :(
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
Search on google, maybe there is a free "minimum" pack with the MTP drivers only
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Cowboy_Henk:
I tried this

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153

But it doesn't work. It gives you drivers for win XP and Vista, I tried either of them for the 'mtp device' but windows doesn't take it.

Ok but when I want to install CM11 do i need all this? I can install the google usb drivers:

I take for "acer a700" device : Android ADB interface and for "MTP device" I take: android composite adb interface.

And when I do the test "adb devices' it gives me a number, so this means it's correct right?

So when I have this I can install clockworkmod and CM11?

When I have CM11 installed could it be I can see the acer a700 in my computer?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
If you have "adb devices" returning a serial number, it's ok, your device is well regconize in debug mode

So you can install CWM without problem.

MTP (Multimedia Protocol) is the protocol used in order to access the storage of your device, without it, you will not be able to explore/copy files on your tab.

You can try to change the protocol in your tab settings and use PTP instead of MTP, but with PTP (Photo Protocol), only JPG will be accessible via USB.

CM11 is using MTP too for USB storage connection.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
If you were rooted, you could probably try to find the file itself with root explorer and then search internet to match your file name with info on what inside, but if you got OTA download you're not and I'm not sure if that file is visible without super user, so you could also go to Samsung side or use Kiev and see what updates are available for your particular phone and compare that to what's on your phone already. I haven't done any OTA updates for a while now, does it show file name right before or during download? Frankly I hate Android, it is such nontransparent OS, it's not easy to even see what files are on your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rimatox:
Hello dear XDA, I was wondering if there are any screen modes mod or app for custom ROM's like CM11 for the S4? I know that the orginal touchwiz rom has these options where you can choose between five screen modes, like movie,standard,dynamic etc... to fit your needs. I have looked around and have been unable to find such alternatives for us without touchwiz.

Thanks.

Hi, I think you'll need a custom kernel, You can then customize your device settings like cpu and stuff , screen to... I just got my s4 but don't want to root cuz the knox stuff, but i had galaxy s2 before and i needed a custom kernel which gave me option to customize

Hoping for some reply :)

Would it be wise to flash a stock based ROM (once 4.4 stock is rooted and released, of course) just to get those, and then go back to cm11?

I currently have this tablet and it's been working good so far but I'm planning to upgrade soon. I was taken back by how many tablets samsung has out now and don't know which is a suitable upgrade to go for. I can spend around the range of $300. I mainly use it to stream stuff as well as school related use. Any insights will be greatly appreciated? Thanks!

TAB 3

If you are looking for a new TAB pass the TAB 3 it seems that its not a big upgrade and not much faster then the TAB 2.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohtse:
I agree with that..

Tab 3 is rubbish.. A friend has the 2 and it seems sluggish when compared to the 2 and there's no GPU either... Battery seems to last only half the time compared with the 2..

Stay clear as the only advantages are mini usb and slightly lighter

Now that they have told you what NOT to buy... I'll give you a reccomdation on what you do want to look at, I love my note 8. Great tablet and even more affordable now that the note pros are starting to come out

How is the battery life on your note 8 crash613, in terms of streaming?

I don't really do a lot of streaming but I will watch 4 to 5 hours of video and still have more than 50% . I have not really paid much attention to it because it has never been an issue
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0058:
I don't know what you want to spend on it but take a look at the Xperia tablets or the Nexus ones.

If you really want a Samsung again, take a look at the new Pro series.

id like to share this with the community, ive been using it for a long time on my android devices and have no problems. its the OGYouTube app. it is youtube with a download tab to get your favorite songs downloaded as mp3's. i dont think the mp4 download works but mp3's work perfectly.

here is the link to my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B41aDwpfEm1lcWNlSXh1T3JlZ1k/edit?usp=sharing

note:

to use download phone must be in portrait mode and not landscape. download tab should be right above description of video

enjoy.

Btw i am not the owner or creator of the app. Im just sharing it with you all

Thanks anyway.
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
That's weird cause my stock lg music app picks it up and if I transfer the file from downloads to music it has double. So it should automatically pick it up unless you are using a third party player. Mp3s also play fine. Don't know what you are doing but no one else complained about it....

For some reason, I can not get this to work while signed in.
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
Please elaborate cause i dont know what you mean

All you have to do is transfer the file from downloads or wherever you have it going to your music folder with any file manager and it should pick up in your player. If using a third party app select rescan device.

Still this doesn't truly concerts video to real mp3 format files right?

What's the difference between versions of this app? This is version 5, but I've also found version 6 and 8. :confused:
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
Ummm yeah it converts videos from youtube to mp3.

Ive found this version to be the only one that works on every android device. I havent had any issues like the other versions have.
[G2 Themes and Apps] jeyd02:
Actually no, this doesn't convert the files to true mp3, what it does is it changes the format to mp3. The phone ready it as mp3 but file being mp4.

You can check this by downloading as mp3 and transferring the file to your pc. You'll see in the pc it'll open as video
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
ummmmm no. you are wrong. i have all the files on my computer and it is mp3's. why dont you configure your computer to read the files properly and you wont have a problem. i do not know what your argument with the app is,but, if you do not like it use something else.
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
oh and when you click the download tab it asks if you want it mp3. if you are using the newer versio and not the one i provided you will have that problem
[G2 Themes and Apps] jeyd02:
Wait a min. Are you sure the apps convert them? A while ago I used to download as mp3 all the time and whenever I had to import to computer to do some editing like audacity or adobe audition, I found that that the file's core format is not an mp3 but an mp4 renamed as file."mp3". Hence when you open it in computer it might open as video or sound only file but the properties are not mp3.

android recognizes any file with .mp3 as sound. But when you want to modify based on mp3 you can't. And that's why I am saying this doesn't for me trully converts file.

Let me try the new version...
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
the new version has problem,well for me it did. on my computer(windows 8) it reads out as an mp3 so i am very confused as to what you are talking about. now im going to go and look into file.

yep,it says m3 format sound on y computer. do not know what you are talking about buddy
[G2 Themes and Apps] jeyd02:
Okay I just tried it, and no. It really plays as a video files. Not true mp3, sorry. When you play it in your computer it plays it as video, which if you are using Windows Media Player it would be no different but if you use another core audio program it's identify as video file.

Try change the file name to = name.mp4 instead of mp3

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Yes, it is a renamed mp3 format. I can change any mp4 video to mp3 by renaming it's format but it'll still be a video. Saying that it's a mp3 format doesn't really determine it as true audio. As I said change the file format to .mp4 and you'll see.

I know this because I do editing and sometimes I alter the audio channels for some modification and I could do that with audio only audio.
[G2 Themes and Apps] :
ummm okay but why would i want to rename the file to mp4? mp4 is a video. ill leave it as mp3 since thats what im wanting. also as a 3mb file at most it seems like an mp3 to me.
