...it didn't fare so well. :D

I just thought some online documentation of S-Pen damage or malfunctions might be useful to some, so here goes:

My brother was fooling around with a ridiculously long straw in his drink and, well, let's just say that my S-Pen ended up submerged and had to be sucked out through the straw. ;)

If you suck on the tip air comes through the button and vice versa. Once out, I sucked the fluid out through the tip and the button. It is completely dry as far as I can tell but it is still malfunctioning.

First thing I noticed was that there was no pointer when I hovered. Next I realized that this was because it thought I was touching the screen as soon as it was in range. Yes, I could scroll and interact as if I was tapping and swiping despite never touching the screen. The button activates and I can still hold it to circle things. It's often very hard to activate the capacitive buttons on the phone (menu/back), as if the hover function needs to be detected to activate them. It's like they often aren't receptive to input.

I have yet to see what soaking in distilled water or 100% isopropyl alcohol will do. I can also try replacing the tip. We shall see!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
OK, I soaked in distilled water for several minutes and dried it in the sunlight for four hours but it's not behaving any better. I decided to soak it longer before resorting to alcohol or changing the tip. I did make sure to get the air out as I submerged it (sucked on the tip as I lowered the button beneath the water). Yes, I've been doing a lot of "sucking" today. ;)

The back of the pen floats so I had to hold it down with a spoon.

If anyone cares, it was Vault soda, which is Coca-Cola's "energy" soda.

Just to make sure it's the S-Pen at fault, I have an S-Pen with eraser that works fine (doesn't fit my phone, of course).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Thanks. I'm well aware, but I'm going to see what else I can do first. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tony yayo:
I got a new spen for a friend on amazon for like 10 bucks. Looked like OEM to me and no problems so far. I'm no expert but I would have tried the alcohol before water imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Fendulon:
I would definitely try some rubbing alcohol, and then if you have an air compressor use that as well. Just keep laying on some rubbing alcohol and then blow the crap out of it with the air compressor, potentially it could break up any sugary gunk. If that doesn't work then it is likely screwed. Sugar+electronics is very bad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] les_garten:
Don't you think you've done enough...

:p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Yeah. I've seen some for even less that looked identical except they lacked the Samsung logo. I'm probably going to stick with OEM Samsung though.

The point of trying distilled water first was to see if it can be done without alcohol. Alcohol can dissolve adhesives and has more potential for damage than inert distilled water. Because I am more lilely to have both options when I try water first, I'm trying water first. One reason it's worth knowing if water alone can fix it is that it is very hard to find 100% pure alcohol. If I have success with that then it may or may not be easily duplicated with common 70% or 91% isopropyl "rubbing" alcohol (there are more additives than just water), but at least we'll know enough to try.

Let's not forget: sodas are water-based and, thus, dried soda is typically water-soluable.

"Rubbing alcohol?" I have much better: 100% pure electronics cleaning grade isopropyl alcohol. ;) I'm simply being systematic here for the sake of others (so we can see if such measures are required). I do have a tiny air compressor but I'm not going to try that until after I try changing the tip. It'll be a lot easier to blow inside with the tip removed. Heck, I might even break out the Water Pik when we get to that point. I wonder how the WaterPik handles alcohol? ;)

Oh, hardy, har har. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] graydiggy:
I would try submerging it in hot distilled water. That will break loose any dried up sugar left in it. Make sure to remove the tip first.

After that, throw it in a jar half full of no less that 97% isopropyl alcohol and shake that sucker.

Pull it out and place it on a paper towel for a few hours.

Then blow it out with canned air or something similar.

Reinsert the tip and test it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DAvid_B:
Leaving it in any type of alcohol will strip the plastic chrome off.

A couple of minutes won't but hours will.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Update: Well, I soaked it in distilled water for hours and then dried it over night and everything works great now, no alcohol required. :D

Always make Nandroid before flash, we never know , in case of trouble.

i prefer you "DorimanX users" downgrade your recovery to v76 , (if they have new stanTRC recovery for now, even dualbooters too) when you use AROMA installer.

Its better to use aroma scripts with 'old' recovery instead of new recovery from stanTRC that we found in beta test dorimanx kernel >92 if i remember well , maybe some <92 can have to.

beta test dorimanx have now recovery is 6.0.4.7 release, have to know.

thanks

Hey dude

i am sorry to tell you i flashed the first script from the first post to fix the crash i keep getting on every boot

it didn't fix that i still had the same issue again

ps: i ticked on all the options available for both com.adroid and com.google

thank you
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Troubadour666:
what is your 'crash' you have?

because my tool is necessary if you have FCs on dialer, com.android.phone, process.acore.... it only delete .db files on you tel partition /data/data/
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] neoissa:
my problem is this :

after each restart i get this prompts twice

"the process com.andriod.phone. has stopped"

and i have to hit okay and everything else works fine no problem and only i get these after each restart

and more more think i notice a signal drop for about 3 sec and then everything is fine.

i have tired a clean install and everything is fine no problems but with dirty install it is causing it to happen
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Troubadour666:
yes dirty flash give these type of FCs when we switch from different base rom to other rom. and with my tool i frequently solve my trouble but sometimes , rarely mate, it didn't solve...a clean install will be recommended....or maybe switch with an intermediary rom :)

have you ever see many numbers instead of wifi or data signal ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lotherius:
So.... I had a VERY tough week at work and was exhausted, stumbling getting out of my car... and dropped my Nexus 7 (LTE!!!)... Screen was still fully visible but non-responsive and glass extremely shattered over the entire surface.

Like an IDIOT, I believed some of the tips and only ordered the glass/digitizer and not the LCD. Well there's $50 down the tube as you CANNOT separate them without destroying the LCD (do not believe anyone who says otherwise)..

So.... Hairdryer would not soften the glue at all so I had to buy a heat gun. On the lowest setting (for safety) it barely softened the glue and required a LOT of persuasion to get the glass loose. The LCD was (as pointed out by those who have actually done this) destroyed in the process... OK, now $100 for the full glass/LCD combo.

However, I have ONE huge concern. During the process, the bezel on the top got overheated and the plastic is damaged. The bezel still snaps securely to the back. However, I noticed there is a small circuit board *inside* the bezel with three metal contacts. What is that? Is it possible that's damaged? The plastic around it shows definite signs of heat damage. Since you CANNOT order a replacement bezel for a N7 2013, and since this is an LTE device, I'm pretty committed to fixing it still. But I'm nervous about ordering parts with the damaged bezel if there are irreplaceable electronics that have been damaged inside the bezel...

So... my question: What is that circuit board that is molded inside the bezel with the metal contacts? What are the odds it was destroyed?

(Posting photos in a few from the phone)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lotherius:
Here are the pictures.

In one side you can see the contacts. The other side the circuit board in question is visible in a small opening.

EDIT: I looked at the part from iFixit, and the bezel is quite different on the LTE model from the Wifi model. It appears that this is the wifi antenna ... the bottom of my bezel has another similar one which is probably part of the LTE antenna. ... so the question is, what are the chances the heating damaged the wifi antenna... not sure what I think about a 4G only tablet...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lotherius:
UPDATE

Okay... I figured out the wifi antenna (and LTE 4g antenna at bottom?) are actually stickers... it appears they're not damaged as best I can tell. Hope so. The bezel is warped noticeably at one end, but it still snaps into the back side of the case just fine, and the circuit bords fit. So hopefully... *crosses fingers*... it is still repairable.

Honestly, at this point though, I wish more people who had actually DONE the repair would have suggested that it is NOT something to be done by end users. Reassurances that it's "easy if you follow the directions" are highly misguided. At this point I would have paid ASUS for a repair and come out ahead, once you count the resale value of a device that now has a visibly damaged bezel if I even get it working again. I've never had a problem repairing devices in the past, but this one is not as easy as so many "guides" make it sound.

I should have realized sooner that most of those who said it is easy are also in the business of selling glass/digitizers (USELESS!!!) and LCD/Glass/Digitizer combos.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kendong2:
quite similar experience to what i had trying to repair my old n7 glass, only did i order the glass/lcd combo from the beginning. cracked it while trying to fit it in the warped bezel tho.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lotherius:
Yeah, breaking glass due to the warped bezel is what worries me. Unfortunately the LTE bezel appears to be different than the WiFi, so buying a cheaper one and swapping the bezel doesn't appear to be an option either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnwantedSoup:
I bought my SM-N900V a few weeks ago and rooted it using Root de La Vega as soon as I got it home. Everything worked perfectly on the first attempt and I hadn't messed with anything since. I was probably stupid at one point and took the first OTA update because I noticed one day that I no longer had root access. I reboot my device every few days without an issue. My problem began about a week ago when I rebooted it like I regularly do and had it come to the message at the top saying "set warranty bit: kernel" followed by the Verizon screen which says "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I rebooted into Odin mode a few times selected cancel to restart which got me back into the OS after a few attempts. A few days later I watched it restart itself into the same screen as before except that this time I haven't been able to get past it. I have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed, Odin 3.09, the MJE tar file from SamMobile, and the PIT file from these forums. No matter which cable or computer I use, I haven't been able to successfully flash the firmware, it consistently fails at boot.img. I can get into Odin/Download mode but not recovery mode. The only thing I ever did to the phone was root, nothing else. Please help me?

Its not your battery.

You just need to do some troubleshooting, maybe with peoples help.

I guarantee if you don't, and get another battery and manage to successfully swap them.....you will end up severely disappointed when its no different. ;)

I'd start by taking some time and reading through the hows your battery life thread...then post some gsam screenshots and see if people can help track down your issue.

Trust me....if its as bad as you say, another battery won't help. You'll be throwing money away.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbitzer:
Hello guys,

I have a big problem with my girlfriend's Nexus 4 with CM11

She left the phone COMPLETELY discharged (0%) for the whole night (about 9 hours)!!

The morning after she put it on charge (with power supply) and when she tried to restart it remained stucked on the boot animation...and then we realized that something was wrong.

I tried this to recover:

1) Wipe cache / Dalvik cache KO (It starts then upgrades applications then remain stucked on "Starting applications")

2) Deleted batterystats.bin KO

2) Full wipe + flash CM11 KO

3) Full Wipe + flash KO Paranoid Android

4) Flash stock (with stock recovery) KO

When I say "KO" I mean that the nexus starts-up but remain stucked on the boot animation (except for the test 1)

I can, however, enter fastboot mode.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore :(

Do you have some ideas?

Thank you very much!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] greenxeyezz:
Okay i did try a search and it didnt work.

I have noticed when i do registry edits to HKCU (current user) they tend not to work at all or revert themselves back after softreset.

For example.

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created

Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

I went to the 112 folder changed it to "\Windows\Messaging.lnk"

And then the other to TEXT MESSAGE...the TEXT message part changes, but when i push the button it still opens up CALANDAR....so i soft reset, and then everything is back to normal like i didnt change anything.

also

i have attempted the tweak to show when i am using caps/numbrs and cause thats in HKCU as well it doesnt seem to work as well..

Anyone have any insights help or suggestions thanks!

I am running ORGINAL 8125 cingular ROM, thats it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
be sure not to reset with the sylus but rather by holding down the power button for 5 secs. Than answer "yes" on the question if you want to turn off. With this method, the device has enough time to write the registry changes to the flash ROM before power is suspended. Resetting with the stylus results in changes not being saved because the device has no time to write them to the flash ROM. Hope this solution helps, it did help me.

If i reset with a stilus after a reg edit i will always wait a few minutes (like 5) after the reg changes.. it always works fine.
