[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxcherry:
Hi,

I'm having a total nightmare. Over the past few days my handset has been a nightmare. I was out last Saturday, and dropped my phone when it was raining. When I checked the phone it seemed to be OK, but there was some water still on the battery when I woke up and removed the cover on Sunday morning.

The phone seemed to be working OK at the time, but over the week there have been 2 issues.

1. The hardware buttons stop working intermittently. At first, the Call Send and Call End buttons were the wrong way around, but then now they have totally stopped functioning. The volume keys no longer work also. (The standby button on top is fine).

2. Every so often, the phone will go crazy, and its almost as if someone is pressing the buttons. It keeps going into Quick Launch mode and switching to Airplane Mode, and also keeps dialing Voicemail by itself.

I've just ran through the troubleshooting on the T-Mobile site, and it ask "Is the indicator sticker white?" - Mine is red :(

I am then told I have voided my warranty.

When I got handset, TMOB asked whether I wanted insurance. I said No because I thought I had it through my bank (I pay like £6 per month for my account and one of the advantanges you can choose is mobile phone insurance)

For this reason, I declined to take out the T-Mobile insurance.

This evening, Ive checked my banks insurance page on the website and in the small print is states:

Phones which have a primary use for the making and receiving of telephone calls, SMS text messages and data. We do not cover PDA type devices. Please see the definition of mobile phone/phone in section B of the Policy Document. If you are unsure as to whether your handset can be covered please contact us

Section B:

Mobile Phone/Phone

Your handset and SIM card specifically identified by the IMEI number and mobile phone number. The handset must be your property or responsibility. Your SIM card will not be covered unless it was inserted into the SIM card slot of the phone at the time of the incident.

The handset must be a hand-held electronic device for which its main use is for the making and receiving of telephone calls, SMS text messages and data. We do not cover devices which have Windows Mobile®, Symbian OSTM, or Palm® operating systems or a similar PDA type of interface, whose primary function is of a business nature. The cover of handsets will be at our discretion, and if you are unsure as to whether your handset can be covered please contact us.

Now, its too late to take out the T-Mobile insurance and I am stuck with a handset which doesnt work.

I am fully aware this is my own stupid fault.

I've been trying to check repair websites, but they seem to claim with Water Damage, there is no certainty that they will be able to fix the device, and it might come back in a worse state than it was sent in.

Any advice that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know whether you can pay HTC directly to repair your device? I've tried calling but they are now closed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
HTC does service but they are slow.

Try putting the phone in a zip lock with some white rice, this will dry it out completely.

You have probably damaged the electronics due to using it when it was wet, however I would remove the battery and try to dry it as best you can before putting power back to the unit.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightlife31:
once heard that you can get the red dot back to white with some bleach.

Never tried it though
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drag-On:
I heard HTC sued some people for trying that trick. so be careful!

As far as rain/water damage goes...the rice bag trick has worked for me in the past, as well as taking the phone apart and cleaning all the contacts, etc with alcohol.

My phone is in for repair (thankfully under warranty) at the moment, so i'm half feeling your pain.

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Thanks Drag-on. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxcherry:
Thanks for the advise guys, will let you know how I get on :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2daMax:
If it can start and operate, the device is probably able to be safe. At this moment, the moisture in the electronic board is shorting out. I would start with using a hair drier to dry out the moisture. Hot air it a few minutes and cycle this a few times within an hour should have the moisture removed. Hopefully, there are no residue left behind by the water that is 'conductive'.

For proper cleaning, I think the best is use either alcohol swaps or contact cleaner aerosol to clean the PCB boards, buttons.

Hope it will recover.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
my topaz is having similar problems as mentioned by the OP but it didn't get wet ever. however the humidity has been on the higher side for last 2-3 weeks at this place, could that be the reason for this misbehaviour? the h/w keys (except for power button) and volume keys are not working at all as i make this post :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Have you tried placing in a bag of rice to draw the moisture out?

Not sure if humidity could cause this but it's worth a try.

Otherwise I would assume worn contact points.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
i dont have any idea about "bag of rice" yet so didnt try. but i kept it shut down for the whole night and buttons are working right now. it could def be the moisture problem.

PS: so while trying out this 'bag of rice' thing, should i disassemble the phone first or just i've to keep it as such? and as i said it never got wet, would it be better to just use a hair dryer?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
The hair dryer can push the moisture around and cause more damage. Plus if its on heat, that too can damage something.

For the rice, just get a zip lock bag, put the rice in it then place the phone on top and seal the bag. No need to disassemble. The rice will draw the moisture out. I think a few hours would be suficient.

Glad you got it working again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
thanks Bruce, i'll try the Rice method and till then i'll just keep it turned off with no battery inside.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdwilson:
Just a short update about using rice, obviously you will use uncooked rice. Also, if you have or can find the vacumn bags, put the rice and phone and battery in the bag and get as much air out as you. The vacumn will help in pulling the moisture out of the device, and of course the rice absorbs the moisture. I used this trick on a Moto Razr that had been completely under water while on. Powered down, removed battery, rice, phone, battery into ziplock vacumn bag, one day later...perfect condition.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
none of the methods mentioned above worked, so i took it to HTC service centre and it turns out that the motherboard has to be replaced which is gonna cost around 160 USD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Ouch!, you can get a new phone for that.

Sorry Bro....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
yeah, and my warranty was over just a month ago. so its just unfortunate and my bad luck :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HooX:
Don´t panic

Thats´s ok, my Topaz have felt into a water, LCD haven´t works, SD slot have been destroyed.. I send it for guarantee, and they made it everything ok for free :) I get new button, new LCD and motherboard for free.. Try to send it

EDIT: woops, warranty ended.. Go, and make grave for your device :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kiint:
hey all

So I'm putting out music and trying to get the release page in a simple, touch-friendly format. So far, so good...

http://dopanex.com

except that when I click on a link on my TP2 with Opera it asks me where I want to save the MP3, instead of playing/streaming it automatically.

Is there some way to get it to stream on mobile browsers as it does in a desktop browser? Some fancy html perhaps I can include in the page code to make it more mobile-friendly?

Is it just a TP2 thing? What happens when you click a song on your phone?

thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] citizenatlarge:
This is the message I get when clicking one of the songs from Opera.. Pretty standard really.. I'll even get that message from the links on a site like this one-> http://www.filtermusic.net/ Who use a lot of .pls extensions and some others..

Nice music btw.. ;)

View attachment 255703
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kiint:
hmm thats exactly what I get too.

So is that standard behavior then? No way to automatically stream an Mp3 out of a browser? Bleh...:confused:

but thanks for the music comments ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] B1gC72:
i've been trying to figure this out too. i feel like the Streaming Media app that is on the device should take care of this like how Quicktime does on the iPhone but it doesnt really do much of anything. ive had the phone for about 2 months now and that is one of the things on my short list left to get it working exactly like i want it to. so if anyone knows how to force Opera multimedia files to stream automatically i'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazelle09:
i've been all over this site as well as others trying to find a fairly simple way to root my T-Mobile G1, non-dev phone running Cupcake 1.6. It looks like the 1-Click Rooting will work but first, before i do anything, i wanted to see if this procedure was still working.

Is it?

When i d/l Cyanogen's Mod i noticed that it d/l the update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip version as well as the 4.2.7.1. Which one should i use?

It looks like the Radio is the same, so that would be one less step to perform, correct?

i'm attaching a .txt file which i've made so that things/steps are a little clearer for me to follow.

Any help would be appreciated. Have a great morning! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamtetsuken:
I am a total newb on the scene but from what I understand you can still do the one click root as long as you revert back to cupcake (RC7 for europe, RC29 for US? You will need to check). You can't do it on Donut (Which is 1.6 is it not?).

I might be way off, so hopefully someone more experienced can help you.

As far as the rest is concerned, I have no idea, sorry.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazelle09:
Sigh. i think you're correct -- i already have the 1.6 - Donut. Grrr.

Now i gotta figure out how to get back down to 1.5.

Thanks, zamtetsuken, that was a great help. Maybe i should just stick to the "If it's not broke, don't fix it." routine.

What advantages have you seen with your change to root?

Have a great afternoon! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamtetsuken:
You're most welcome.

I have been reading (and watching videos) from this website: http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-g1-dream/ today and they have videos that show you how to get back to cupcake, the 1-click root for the G1 and other good stuff.

I haven't actually done it yet, I am trying to do a lot of reading before I do try it, just so I don't mess things up. I know which rom I want to use but some methods require to have a SDCard reader when you're flashing the radio, rom etc, so I need to see if there is a work around as I do not have one. All I hear is good stuff about rooting though, apart from obviously those who brick their phone.

If you do it please let me know how you got on :).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazelle09:
If you're running 1.6, part of one of the threads says that you can format your SDcard with your telephone! You don't need a card-reader. i don't have one either and am running PCLinuxOS 2009, fully updated on my home computer.

Have a great afternoon! and thanks for the link to the videos! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamtetsuken:
Yeah, I knew about the format option in 1.6 but in one of those videos once he reverts to cupcake (I believe) he takes out the SD Card while the phone is off and then puts the files on the card and then puts it back into the phone and switches it on. I will have to find out whether I can do it differently,

Thanks for the reply :), you going to try it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazelle09:
lol -- i'm working on it. :)

Am still trying to find an answer to a couple of questions, like will we have access to Market again? Whether i can set Google up with the kind of buy-as-you-go minutes that i have in Mexico through TelCel and wondering how i'm going to obtain all those WEP keys i've got on my present phone again.

Have a great evening! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamtetsuken:
I have successfully rooted my phone :).

You do get access to Market again. It just seems to work exactly as before :). I am not sure how you would get the WEP keys again :(.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazelle09:
Hey! Congratulations!!! Wow! i'm stuck on the "Set up Gmail." Since i don't have a 3G Plan i'm in the process of getting past STEP1, Sub-section 6 -- lol.

i'm going to call a friend - my son-in-law - and get him to read off the APN settings on his G1. i set it up for him and i think we use the same carrier, TelCel. i need the MCC and MNC settings - i think, in order to get WiFi on this. Then i can set up Google and proceed.

i also had some strange things happen even in Sub-section 4! But it's fixed, so we're still hangin' in there.

Thanks for posting again, Congrats!, and have a wonderful evening! :)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bobbythomas:
Sorry experts this might be a dumb question, but actually can it happen???:confused:

I haven't flashed any radio yet and I wish to flash one for more signal reception...Moreover will there be any problems if I flash a Radio of a Non-X1 device (like blackstone or diamond,etc.). Will this affect IMEI???

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] flashpanda:
No. The IMEI is in essence, burned into the device and cannot be changed by ROM flashing, Radio flashing or any other process.

It's technically possible to change a phone's IMEI, but in the UK, it's not only highly illegal (up to 10 year prison term), it's highly illegal to possess equipment to do so.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bobbythomas:
Thanks flashpanda, my cousin's Samsung mobile(I dont remember the model,its a windows mobile 5) IMEI got corrupted automatically, the last 4 digits became 0's. When I took it to the Samsung service center they told me that its a Radio issue, and it can happen sometimes. They dint give me a detailed description about the issue. I dont know whether its a manufacturing defect of Samsung, but can it happen on our Xperia??? And will there be any problems if I flash a non-Xperia Radio (like diamond or blackstone) in my X1?? Moreover is there any IMEI corruption issues reported with Xperia???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] topgunn:
Yes it can and does!

A necro post but it seems that it can happen, it could be a combination of radio spl and rom that causes it, it happened to me when I did my kaiser, thankfully I still have my hermes that I use for BBC but BAS only runs on the kaiser or better :mad:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Reversedhex:
lucky for you its legal to change imei if it is to repair the phone...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] topgunn:
no not lucky because I can not use it to connect to Blackberry service since the IMEI change, capisch? :mad:

I have to use my Hermes for that now and Blackberry Application Suite *yes, I have it!* won't run on the Hermes only the Kaiser, now you understand my predicament a bit better, would you say I am lucky...?

[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
I was just wondering who all here, including lurkers like me and Devs, who have a Droid now? The reason that I ask is because we have successfully rooted the Droid and have the recovery images posted on alldroid.org. A lot of people over there have migrated over from this specific forum spot and remember all the hard work that the Devs accomplished over here. They were wondering if you guys would help out on porting the leaked HTC 2.1 dump over to the Droid?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I don't have a droid, though I imagine it would be quite the same as we are already doing, with the exception of using a droid boot.img file.

I can't really see it being that difficult. Pull the appropriate libs from an official droid system folder, check for build.prop settings, reference the original droid init.rc file and merge with the other one. package it all together into an update.zip, sign it and flash it.
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
And thats why they need you over there at alldroid.org because not a lot of devs are familiar with porting Android to completely unsupported device like you, Zen and DZO and the others on this project. I guarentee you guys would be become a hit with porting the HTC 2.1 over while not even having a Droid. Now that would be funny and ironic at the same time.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
without being able to test it, it doesn't make much sense. Sorry man but I'd hate to be putting out stuff that doesn't work. I did a couple of dream roms for some friends but I didn't like it, I don't want to risk screwing up anyones stuff.
[Touch CDMA General] kiwilime:
Thats just rude. Youre making me jealous with that droid that you have, and youre trying to tell all the developers here to work on it for you? Seriously, you already have one of the best phones out there.

EDIT: and why would you ask on the vogue forums for people who have a droid?

Is there something similiar to modul "xturtle" or could i use the it from other systems?
