I would dry it out in rice first. U could just have a drop hanging out on the speaker mesh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] PC Jona:
nevermind i shook it and blew into it and it came back. hmmmmm idk maybe ill think twice before i shower with it again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] PC Jona:
lol golden showers yea it was probably just a small amount of water there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nightfox11:
No its supposed to do that don't worrie about it it's the same thing with my Xperia Z1S they are designed like that .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tone8275:
Suppose to wait 30mins before using external speaker after its been wet. I called in because I felt the same. Now I place it in a towel set to the side for it. Works perfect.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

And if you take it out in the water, heed the 30min, 3' rule!! You'll get awesome video, and pictures but it'll toast it. I sent mine to Sony, and they sent me a new one with no problem. No charge, think I got lucky though (I placed a good review I wrote months back along w/docs required). Remember to take your SD card; you won't get it back. Great phone. Want the z2 compact. I find the waterproof feature the one most value on the market right now. Sorry for the spill :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] CitrixLemon:
Yeah I'd be careful taking it into the shower with you. One thing that has been problematic with other electronics is the heat in a shower can have unexpected consequences.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
The phone has water resistance, its not water proof. Personally, I would still try and keep it away from water at all costs. Its only really meant for say like if your stuck in a storm and it gets some rain drops on it or something. I would definately still not go into a shower with it or go swimming with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tone8275:
It's waterproof. I've put this thing to the test. Just have to stick to the 30min, 3' rule (tough when you're having fun). No salt water.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Actually its not waterproof and was never touted to be. It is certified to be IP67 Water Resistant. Which means that it is dust tight and can be immersed in 1m of water for 30 minutes and it should be ok. Water proof would mean that it would be able to withstand any degree of water. If anybody is interested this page has a pretty good description and chart of what Ingress Protection is and what the numbers mean.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Wate...im-or-is-secretly-afraid-of-the-water_id53205

Have to to say though, its pretty inpressive how far up the S5 is on the chart. It is narrowing in on water proof territory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tone8275:
Oooh Ok. I took mine out 4 times, vids & pics. Underwater. 1st 3 times worked like a charm, and we only used it for a short time. When you 1st go under the screen jumps around a bit. It settles after a quick second. The 4th time I took it to a water park, and had it out in the sun for about 5-6 hours. That killed it. Phone still worked, but screen went way dim. Had to use a flashlight to see it. Vids & pics were great though. Down water slides and all. So much fun with this phone. Just can't get too carried away. My bad for the wrong verbiage. I do attest this thing will create memories.

Actually the phone can withstand some pretty abusive water tests

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9J611BuXhw

I went into my pool with it today just to test it. Worked great! Water proof means it can withstand water for an unlimited amount time, but doesn't mean its water proof in any condition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] louforgiveno:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] glxys:
3ft of water for an hour works perfectly no issues, speaker was funny but 2 mins of a hair dryer with no battery cover or battery and a restart fixed that.....in my opinion that's waterproof. How much more could u possibly need honestly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratcityrain:
I have been wanting to try this so bad, but kinda scared too lol. I have read a lot of people being able to take their phones into a pool or something successfully.

Question, if the back and power cover are sealed correctly, will Samsung warranty the phone if it gets wet and stops working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fastfed:
How would they know if the back and power cover "were indeed on properly"?? To answer your question, no.. And as long as Samsung keeps making removable batteries (god i hope so) they never will.. All that said, make sure the back is on and power cover is locked in and dunk it!! I do it all the time. Weird but its an awesome feeling lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratcityrain:
Ya I figured that would be a tough argument with them. When it gets warmer here I will just have to jump into a pool and try it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
I have yet to try the phone under water but i am looking forward to underwater video when i get the chance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fastfed:
Don't care if it says "water resistant" It's WATER PROOF!

only reason they probably don't say proof is warrant. Bottom line, it's water proof. It can withstand hours underwater with no problem.

Samsung finally made a commercial and shows people completely dousing the phones under water.

I jumped in my pool with mine. there are tons of videos online showing how water "proof" this phone actually is. I think the sony Phone that we all know is water "proof" still only has an IP67 rating

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdevora:
Hi,

I updated my phone to a Unbranded KK version while I was waiting for may Sim unlock code to arrive.

It finally arrived but now, when I put a new SIM in it, it doesn't show the window asking for the unlock code.

I tried with many versions from various countries with and without rooting, but it always "pretends" that I don't have any SIM in the phone.

I nearly out of options and I'm not even sure that I don't have a faulty phone :(

I was thinking in put back the original firmware (1280-7858 1177) for see it makes a difference... but how can I get a hold on it????

I was thinking if there is a way to trick SUS into thinking that I have that version for it to download and install it.

Does any one know for to change the Customization number and the ID of a Z1 Compact???

Or some other way to deal with my problem?

Cheers

I am wondering if there is a way to control the iPad from my Windows 8.1 laptop through USB because my friend gave it to me and it hasn't been set up on my network. I can't afford replacement parts, $60 for an LCD and $25 for a digitizer. Any ideas?

Could you help how to solve this problem.

As you can see (picture 1), the second Internal Storage capacity is 3.50GB but the availabe space is weird (unknown number)

I've done the memory swapping (with 16GB) method by editing the vold.fstab file and the result (picture 2). As you can see now, the 2nd internal memory only detect 3.50GB (not 16GB) while the SDCARD is 720MB (is it suppose to be 3.5/4 GB).

I think I have been cheated for the 2nd internal memory suppose to be at least 4GB.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] izuall187:
it seems that getting the recovery.img for the tab is such a pain. Thus it is difficult to create a custom recovery using CWM or TWRP. The generic Rom is also a bit unstable and tends to freeze the device or autoreboots and some occasional auto sleeping of the LCD even when you set the sleep mode to any time.

Theory: possible that the freezing is caused by either bad ram management or high voltage per frequency. Already underclocked the device and it seemed to help it a little bit. Cannot try to test undervolting and even installing supercharger unless there is a way to create a NanDroid backup image.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fsebentley:
Getting Recovery from these is not difficult at all.

With ADB properly set up on your PC and USB Debugging enabled on the Tab Browse to a location

on your PC where you have the ADB.exe (usually someplace like this D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools)

or have the folder with ADB.exe in your Path environment setting.

From that folder launch a command window (right click while holding shift) while in the folder in explorer

select open command window here.

In the command window type

adb remount

adb shell su -c "cat /dev/block/nandg > /mnt/sdcard/nandg-recovery.img"

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/nandg-recovery.img

adb shell rm /mnt/sdcard/nandg-recovery.img

The recovery image will be in the folder you executed the command window from.

Honestly though DragonFace can edit the Roms for allwinner soc's extremely well and it extracts the

seperate .img files from the Rom, My suggestion would be to First obtain your Tabs Factory Firmware

Back up all of the main Partitions on your Tab before doing Anything if you do not have your Original

Factory Firmware available. (nanda, nandc, nandd, nande, nandg - bootloader, boot, system, Data, Recovery)

Also I suggest you Pull a script.bin from the Tab as well as it contains the settings for your Hardware

initialization, and determine what Hardware is in it at least the main ones that differ on these Tabs

Touchscreen, Gsensor, Cameras and in some cases Bluetooth.

Once you have done this you can start editing your Rom in Dragonface with relative safety, or download

some other Firmwares for the A23 and attempt to mod them to work on your Hardware set.

To make a custom recovery the SDK is here : http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/SDK/A23-v1.0/

and there are a few Instructions on XDA you can follow once you have that, although you will likely

have to edit the output in some ways and/or the input.

You can feel pretty safe in Flashing Allwinner Devices as much as you like in your Testing, this SOC

family tends to be practically unbrickable, the basic fel is in the SOC and is not overwritten by a flash

so even flashing a completely wrong rom is recoverable by flashing one that more closely matches

the hardware.

There are currently many Roms available for this device Family the latest ones being android v 4.4

A23 Manual Backup

Thanks fsebentley, that was extremely helpful!

I do not have a factory firmware image. I see the block devices for the different nand partitions, and was able to back those up, great!

But I'm not sure how you go about backing up the other things you mentioned w/out having something like clockwork recovery installed. Could you elaborate on the backup steps for bootloader, boot, system, etc. Also on how to pull the hardware settings (script.bin) ? I've never done this manually outside of another program.

EDIT: after sleep I understood what you meant up there :

nanda == bootloader, etc.

EDIT2: Here's the full list from my Ubislate 7ci

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2014-10-20 23:24 system -> /dev/block/nandd

Can all of those be backed up "live" or do you need to get into recovery to do it so that the filesystems are closed?

I have a tablet running 4.2.2 I want a good way to move apps to the external SD I have tried multiple tricks and none seem to work. i even use adb to force installing items to the SD. I have tried gl to sd, but it will just move items to portions of the internal memory labeled as ext sd but not the real external one. any other ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fsebentley:
Yes that is me ;)

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

In large part this will depend on the Tablet as well as the OS. I would suggest one of the many Apps2sd programs

available both from Play store as well as on this forum, most include pretty decent instructions on use.

Personally for installing apps onto my sd card I use Link2sd, it does however require extra partitioning of your external SD card and a working implementation of init.d that kicks off before full boot so if you are not

very android savvy it may not be for you.:)

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

Yes all can be backed up live, you will likely need to have the output of the command be placed on your

external sd due to size limitations unless you have around 4gig internal sd available. I did write a small

script to do it automatically, it is posted on Techknow in the open forum.

I am going to be actively looking into making a TWRP/CWM for these A23's now since I am beginning dev

work on the platform for making a custom Rom, I have not decided yet whether to pattern Hardware

support after my A13 CookedRom or not, im not sure I will have time for making patches for all the different

hardware sets as I am also planning Roms for the A20 and the A31. The similarities in the Allwinner SOC's

will make the work a bit easier on multi-SOC's but it is still more than I have time for to manage hardware

Patches for them as well as to keep up support on all of them.

where are these 4.4 roms
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fsebentley:
They can generally be found by searching for A23 firmware via google.

Offhand the Irulu site and a few others have Roms available, whether they will work for your specific

model is another question entirely and in general you will simply have to check based on the internals

of your tab vs those supported by the Rom. Irulu Has several different 4.4 Roms for different models

using the A23 SOC, I also suggest that if you want more leads on Roms you might look on TechKnow

there are several source links there that will help get you started on a search.
