So my wife forgot my phone out on the deck today in the rain. I don't know how long it was out there but discovered it when I went looking for it. I tried drying it out the best I could with a hair dryer and towels. When it was wet it was on but the buttons wouldn't wake the phone and the only sign of life was the home button lit up along with the back and menu buttons.

When I was finished drying it out I put the battery, sim card, and sd card back in and now it won't even power on. I have the phone sitting in a bag of rice to try and dry out any moister that is probably still in the phone. But what are the chances she just killed my phone? Has anyone had any luck bringing the G Pro back to life after water damage?
[LG Optimus G Pro] shayneflashindaily:
The rice in the bag trick is probably your best bet .......leave it in there for a good long while .. I would go like a day or something .... Some phones it works ... Some it doesn't ....

[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
before you soak your phone to rice. yout priority is to remove most of the mositure in the motherboard/logic board by soaking it with 100 % isoprophyl alchohol. 70 -90% is not recommended as this solution still contain little water. then soak it with dry instant rice which is much better than the raw rice
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
Should I leave it disassembled before putting in the rice or is it fine for it to be all together?
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
yes, focus on drying the logic board and the lcd panel
[LG Optimus G Pro] ChiefSosa:
Put it in rice
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
I got it as dry as I can, put it all back together, and now it's been sitting in instant dry rice since last night. I also used a hair dryer to help dry it out. The heat shouldn't hurt it right? I mean these smartphones these days can get pretty hot anyway....lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
Well. it's official. The phone is gone. I had a couple people try to revive it using the alcohol method with no luck. So, now I have to find a way to get a new phone and cheap as I have very little money to spend, a baby on the way, and no home phone. So I have no phone. Anyone know where I can find a good phone cheap? Like 100 bucks cheap?

Try Moto Atrix HD. Best phone for $100. Or your might need to look for a moto g.

By the way, next time find your phone wetw(if it happen again ), power it off as soon as possible, remove battery and keep it dry in rice for more than 3 days. Lots of my friends got their phone back to life from toilets in this way. Again, remove battery and leave it for 3 days. Don't power it on within 3 days.

Hey people,

New to wireless charging here, my girlfriend just bought a wireless charger for my birthday. Just one question, when you are charging and you need to use the phone, should I pick it up or leave it there and try to use? I mean, if I keep picking it up to use, wouldn't the constant charging/stopping damage the battery? :confused: Please help me out!

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
No, it's fine. Pick it up as many times as you want. I have different wireless pads scattered throughout my house, office and car, that it will not "hurt" it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nooktablet:
It's probably fine. But if by constant you mean literally every 5 seconds then maybe not.

Also there's a xposed mod to disable the sound every time you put it on the pad if they annoy you too constantly.

BTW it'd be great if I had a techy girlfriend
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jackhayden:
thanks for the comments guys :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thor1k:
uh yeah, no thanks, charge cycles take their toll on the battery.

people like this are why batteries have to be replaced.

Personally, it's only $15 to do yourself, so not a big deal. Just don't tell people it's fine. Get a degree in Electrical Engineering then tell me it's fine :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Riekr:
AFAIK li-ion batteries does not suffer from any memory effect and they even last longer when kept charged. Battery charge cycles are still there as an indicator of the goodness of the battery from the manufacturer but they are related to a full cycle (eg how much current passes through the battery) but smaller charging cycles shouldn't be counted as full.

I want to buy a wireless charger but I need some advices ^^

What's the best charger for you guys ? I mean what's the more efficient charger, the official from the Google play or others ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Well I had my phone since released and before that used my Nexus 4 and used wireless chargers since then. You mean to tell me we all need EE degrees to use/charge our phones? :P

Just use the pads no need to "worry" about the battery. In some instances batteries will need replacement, but many replace their devices well before you see an issue.

I don't want to go to e-war about batteries. I am just going by personal experience. I have my N4 still, which my wife uses and still uses charging pad still no issues there either.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wakamatsu:
Could you provide some references for our edification? I admit I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject but my understanding is that charge cycling is bad at or near full charge. I don't know that this a problem at lower charge levels (let's say <90%).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I don't have an EE degree but from what I understand newer batteries cycles are a full charge from 0-100. I read something on apples' website explaining this. So charging it twice from 50-100 would be one cycle.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thor1k:
noppppppeeeeeeee, left at full charge lose 20% of capacity after 1 year. see:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

You might be right about the charge cycles, as most things seem to relate to amount of power transferred through the battery, and not 'depth of discharge" but honestly many people I've met who plug their phones in all the time to top up, end up having to get the battery replaced after a year. Apple product, ok no problem they do it free for like 2 years; but I've done nothing but run my batteries all the way down every time and slowcharge every night on USB-500mA (gentler current, kinder to battery, cooler temps, and even a slightly more thorough charge) (just 5% POSSIBLY 10% it's hard to say...probably 5%...I guess I should test this)

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

EE to charge? No, I'm just saying you might want to think twice before picking up 20 times a day from the pad. Better to get MightyText for when you're at your PC/work to text with.

the google charging pad IS better I would have less issues charging on one of those. However, I'm a cheapie, and use $10 chargers, which heat my phone usually to 40C for a full 0%-100% charge. Not best, but I have resigned myself to the reality of potentially replacing the battery in 18 months if I want the convenience of charging pads everywhere. You might wish to think this way as well. Also, after 18 months, maybe you could just charge it at every opportunity (at that point, who cares, you only need it for another 18 months probably) and that would be enough.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wiley_11:
All I know is since 1998 I charge my phones to 100% as often as I can find a charging device. I am the only one on my family plan of 5(the others run battery down daily to~30% or more) that doesn't replace their battery before their next upgrade. So my motto is *Top up every chance you get*. :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thor1k:
that's encouraging to hear I've never heard that before.

If you can edit the systemui.apk after deodexing, it should be easy for you.

Hi

I usually had gestures where it would replace Google Now when i swipe up from the home button to sleep my phone. I was using SenseToolBox. But after updating to 4.4.3 that stopped working.

Is there another app where I can modify the home button swipe options to replace Google Now? I just want to have the to make it go to sleep when i swipe up from the home button, instead of going to Google Now.

Thanks !

With this app you can change the swipe up action: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AdrianCampos.swipeuputility

I just saw that the Swipe Up app has a built-in function to turn off the screen, so you actually only need that one app :)

5. DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK

6. IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED, DECRYPT IT

7. Towelroot and SuperSU downloaded and installed prior to flashing NE2 kernel

For SM-900I Australian:

Look >>>>here<<<<

Root instructions:

1. Get to download mode, and flash ANE2 kernel or relevant kernel that supports towelroot

2. Once done, reboot and open towelroot and click make it rain. (NOTE: wifi and s health will not work after flashing ANE2 kernel and you will face numerous FCs)

3. After this, reboot again into download mode and flash your current rom kernel. everything will start to work and all FC will be gone.

[Galaxy S 5 General] ernie199:
I'm not used to these procedures so I didn't really know what I was doing but it worked for me as well:

As above, S Health was FC constantly and it was pretty difficult to get into towelroot or SuperSU in between.

I already had SuperSU installed and I did not uninstall it before starting the procedure (may be I should have?). SuperSU wouldn't start because of no binaries installed so there was no way to install them (or I don't know how to do it). I could uninstall and reinstall SuperSU but it would not restart at all afterwards. I gave up.

During this time, I had also warning messages about unauthorized operations taking place and asking me to reboot to undo these changes. I ignored these messages.

I finally rebooted, flashed ANG2 kernel and rebooted. It seems everything is fine. I have root access and KNOX 0x0. SuperSU also works normally.

WiFi did not work either, as written in the guide. It looks like it removed the connexion settings. I had to re configure WiFi after last reboot.

Thank you very much for this procedure!

Mate as per your screen, kernel version number is same but date and dpi are different. i dont know what do they stand for but to be on the safe side i wont recommend you as of now to root. you will need to wait until your firmware is out on sammobile so to extract the kernel file from it.

[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
If i`am rooted i always disable the whole OTA procedure, just add .bak to FW Upgrade.apk and its odex file so it will not be active after reboot and you don`t get notifications anymore. Instead i flash the whole updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro and i check wipe data and cache, enable Everroot and the other 2 options and flash it. Make a app/data backup with Helium or Titanium Backup first of your apps and personal files.
