It sure does. But on a serious note, I made my points already, why keep on going back and forth with you? Deuces.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dondrel:
Usually I'm not for feeding the trolls, but that was enjoyable.

Here's my update:

I went to Radioshack, which is an obsolete American electronics store, and they said they didn't know how to disassemble a Galaxy S5 yet, but they would know how after the S6 was fairly old.

Anyhow I asked them what their process was and they told me that they soak the phone boards in isopropyl alcohol. That gave me an idea, and this maybe very foolish but I've decided to buy Isophropyl Alcohol myself and give my phone another bath. Whats the worst that can happen? Me sending it back to Samsung and waiting for a bill?

So I went to CVS a drugstore common in Texas and bought the highest percentage Isopropyl alcohol available which was 91%. I dished it out in an oval tray and placed my S5 without the back cover, or battery and with the USB port open in the alcohol just now.

Since I haven't fully disassembled the phone and don't have a brush, I've elected to swish the tray back and forth. Doing so I've noticed some settlement looking like little white flakes, 3 in total come out of the phone and they are visible in the black battery bay area. I did take a soapy bath so with any luck hopefully this was part of that residue.

What is of concern while looking at the phone is that the back camera has developed a ring around the lens. Hopefully this is nothing. My plan is to continue to swish the phone around inside the pool of alcohol for 2 hours then dry it off with a blow dry set on cool. Afterwards back into the bag of rice for 36 hours.

I have read that that could indeed solve your problems, how unlikely it may seem to me, I have read earlier reports about this, keep us posted indeed! Nothing to loose I guess.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I don't want to start something again, but the people who are saying it's the OP's fault, you're 100% wrong (assuming of course the OP is not lying).

This phone is IP67 certified. That means that it can withstand being under water (up to 1m) for 30 minutes. He said that it was only under water for less than 3 minutes. I don't know if it was under 1m, but I'll assume it was.

If he followed the 1m and 30 minutes limitations, then his phone should be working. It's not his fault if it broke, it's Samsung's. You can't advertise something as IP67 certified then say it's the owners fault when it breaks under the limitations of IP67.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dondrel:
Thanks, the funny thing is everyone was saying, "Don't do it, you're crazy". My bath tub isn't a meter deep. In hindsight I probably should have read the fine print or not believed "the hype".

So here's my update.

I decided instead of letting the phone sit for 2 hours in alcohol I'd dunk and swish the phone for 5 minutes then drain all of the alcohol and repeat 4 times. I noticed that as I pulled the phone out of the alcohol it almost immediately evaporated. Took about 20 minutes to finish and the phone looked spotless afterwards, which was a good thing.

I decided to shake the phone in my hand side to side until I stopped feeling sprinkles of alcohol. It took about 5 minutes but at that point the phone looked surprisingly very dry. So after that I put it in the rice and watched Independence Day. About 2 hours later I decided I'm too impatient to wait 36 hours so I pulled the phone out.

My battery was dead from before and wouldn't charge. This time I just saw the lightning Icon. I decided to put the phone down and go do something else and come back later. When I came back, my phone was charging! Great sign.. 11 became 12% while I was holding it. Okay so the moment of truth.

I held the power button and saw the Samsung logo.. no reset, then the T-Mobile splash.. wow yes, then the Samsung logo again.. wdf! I remained patient and after another reset from the Samsung logo the T-mobile splash came up and from there the Android loading applications UI came up. I almost forgot I had been in the middle of the factory firmware re-installation.

Everything finished installing then my phone came back on. Wow, I fixed my phone! Samsung, will not be contacted. The only issue I'm having is my speaking still sounds like its underwater. It smells like alcohol and it's not completely dried out. But I made a call, even the camera works. Even game of thrones was saved at the 2 minute mark from where I left off.

Letting my phone dry completely now to get that alcohol out of the speakers.

Lesson learned, water is still not a good thing with electronics.

On thing to note, I watched a S5 disassemble video and the new screen is completely flat. That made me feel confident I didn't have to remove it before doing the alcoholic shuffle with the phone.

I'm back! And now that my warranty is gone I'll be moving to the rooting section of the forum.

Hope this helps others.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
If I were you, I would have just called samsung and told them what happened. They aren't legally allowed to advertise something as IP67 and deny you service for something that fell within the restrictions (1m and 30 minutes). Yeah, you can't prove you did that, but they can't prove anything either, so they usually just replace it for you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johan81:
Good to read that you got it sorted! And I agree with aooga, call Samsung and be decisive, ask for a higher tier when they say they can't help you. Usually you will get good service when you politely push a bit. Your issue now is that your phone still isn't waterproof, so you can tell them that is your warranty issue, phone does not comply with IP67 as advertised.

They of course can test that their selves, put in a new sticker that can detect water, close every port and all that, put it in water and see what happens. If in that case the stickers got tripped again, they have to solve your problem under warranty.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sawyerbenjamin:
For a really long time now, I've been having a problem with apps using the SD card.

The gallery can access the SD and the Camera saves photos and videos just fine. Also, the phone never notifies me of any errors, but for some reason Snapchat, Instagram, and an editing app I use, seem to think my SD card isn't there at all.

Snapchat: "Connect an SD card to view video snaps!" (I can't watch ANY Snapchat videos)

"Saving failed :(" (Also won't save any videos or picture I take"

Instagram: "Before recording video, check your SD card..." (I cant record videos, which means I also cant upload them)

Instasize: "Error exporting image" (Pretty self-explanatory)

Instasize and Instagram are full capable of browsing and uploading image, though.

Also an app I use called Aviary is full capable of uploading, editing, and exporting all my pictures with no problem, so idk if this problem is app specific.

Anyway, I've formatted the SD card and that didnt work. I also find it dumb that the apps dont have an option to save the phone internal storage.

Any suggestions for a fix? Resetting the phone is my very last solution; I dont wanna reinstall all my apps and re-sync all of my accounts.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Flash either Cnexus' permissive version of the stock kernel, or use Ktoonsez and the problem should go away. It sounds like the feature of 4.4.2 that makes things more secure, but until apps are rewritten to handle the SD card differently, you'll have that problem with an enforcing kernel.

Any other suggestions?

I'm contemplating updating to Kitkat just to fix it, but dont wanna root again. My phone already downloaded it for me.

Also if there is a way to strictly backup all of my apps (to avoid downloading them all) I guess I could factory reset.

Which would be less work?

Unless there an alternative to both.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I'm not sure what you used to format the SD Card. But I would suggest SD Formatter. When you are to done to really speed up file transfer, you can use TeraCopy. To backup my Apps I use Titanium Backup. Just be careful restoring too much Data, as it has been known to cause issues. Lastly you can use Rom Toolbox to make all future apps install to the SD Card.

I used my laptop, Windows 8.

I guess I can try formatting it with that tool, and then use Titanium backup if that doesnt work. Idk why I never thought of that, I've used it before.

There's only one downside to this rom (like all custom roms :( ), it needs a full wipe. But I'm a bit lazy and I don't want to backup all my apps and restore all data. I know it's based on a firmware update and normal updates don't need a full wipe. So is it possible to flash this rom without losing all my apps and without wiping everything?

I read something about only clearing Dalvik and cache, but I want to be sure. I'm on clockwork recovery and have the stock Gt-n8010 rom.

I especially need test devices with small screens (e.g. Wildfire S) and very big screens (e.g. Google Nexus 10).

Hey guys! So I've had a Note, a Note 2, and now have the TMobile LG G2. All of which, I've rooted, ROMed and had my fun with, but for a week, this issue has brought my fun to a screeching halt. I hope someone can help.

I just rooted my G2 while in 4.2.2, intending to install a KitKat ROM while maintaining root access. Looking for a quick way to add custom recovery, I backed up my stock recovery using Flashify, and also using it, I installed the latest TWRP for my phone. After installation I got a black screen that says:

[830]fastboot mode started

[880]udc_start()

and I have no options. Thankfully I can just hold power to reboot my phone normally so I'm not softbricked. But I get the same screen any time I boot into recovery. And when I restored my stock recovery through flashify I got the black screen with the android mascot on his back with the red exclamation mark. I tried flashing TWRP, and Philz through Flashify and I get the "fastboot" screen again. Can someone please help? Thanks so much in advance.

After spending few hours more than expecting on comparing specs of phones I was considering, I've started thinking few of things I've could help solve or speed up someone else's doubts ^.^

So, if you are reluctant to make choices based on cometics, here's my spreadsheet and steps:

1) went to http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

made this choices:

http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php...ize=5.0&sColor=&nBatteryCapacity=2500&idNFC=1

(changed them before finishing spreadsheet)

2) went to http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer

choose phones to compare:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...id6=5592&id7=4557&id8=4343&id9=4934&id10=5764

3) copied data, fixed rows misalignment

4) in sheet 2 I've changed text values to more comparable, deleted some unrelevant rows

5) in sheet 3 deleted everything except values to compare, replaced some words/text

6) in sheet 4 put lookup->match values based on order/values of your criteria

7) make proper formulas to get info how big is the difference between models inside some criteria

8) get info what criteria takes how much of importance in result

9) compare that info in sheet 5, and scale function values to get proper order of criterias

10) 'volies', you have numbers to make a choice of your choice, just compare order index and price at you can get the phone xD

It is far from perfect, because criterias are ordered, but probably not perfectly compared, and there is much of induction, yet, a believe there is no benefit in checking it all deductively :p

If you didn't see some benefit in it, you probably laughed while reading it :D
