[HD2 General] balane:
Well it was longer than a half second. It slipped under some dishes and I fumbled awkwardly a little bit trying to get it. I would say total submerge time was probably 6-7 seconds. It looked very wet to me. When I popped the battery there was definitely soapy, dirty dishwater coming coming out of the insides. Maybe I did more damage by soaking it in distilled water but it was overwhelmingly recommended on the internet when I searched for wet phone.

Edit: I'm in the US and this phone was not released here. Is there a way to have insurance on a phone not purchased through typical channels?

Thanks for your thoughts.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Bit of a long shot, but have you tried recalibrating the touch screen? Don't think it'll make a huge difference but... never know.

Regarding the speakers, you are probably SOL. I think you'd be surprised what you can sell a busted phone for on ebay.

Re: Insurance, did you purchase it with an AMEX or a 'premium' Visa/Mastercard? You automatically get some coverage.

This actually makes me very nervous because it reminds me that personal digital (the aussie dealer for the T9193) didn't accept AMEX, so I used my normal Visa... sigh. Off to buy a warranty.
[HD2 General] balane:
That's a good idea, I'll give that recalibration a shot.

Are the speakers made of paper? Did they get wet and become permanently damaged? I've since read dozens and dozens of stories on the net about wet cell phones and I've heard nobody mention anything about permanent damage to the speakers. Does the HD2 have some kind of unique sound system which might make it more susceptible to water damage?

No on credit card, purchased with cash on Craig's List.

Thank you for your help.
[HD2 General] balane:
Hmm, maybe it's in my head but recalibrating it does seem to make the touch reaction a little better. Seems to run a little smoother.

Honestly, if I can get the dang sound to work half way decently I will be able to live with it for a while. I blew some compressed air (Not high pressure but a decent blast.) into the grills but no difference on either. I can't imagine what's in there, other than a torn speaker, which could make the cones not move efficiently. Maybe some kind of corrosion in the magnetic motor behind the cone possibly.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
remember when you search for solutions online to check the date when it was posted.. that distilled water trick maybe worked for nokia 3310's.

Also be carefull with air when it's wet.. if it is paper, I don't know.. but imagin what happens to it if it is and it's still wet.... I'd carefully use a hair dryer... and leave it dry for a week, not 48 hours..

I've seen a Dutch insurance company that insures your phone online without questions.. you just pay a fee for stepping in (€25). There must be something like that in the states. I don't know if you have home insurance, but some companies nowadays also cover mobile phones and laptops, even when your on the move.
[HD2 General] balane:
That's a very good point and one I didn't consider. A couple of the stories I read were about touch screen phones so I assumed it might be applicable.

I do have home owner's and that's an excellent idea. I will call and pick their brains first thing in the morning.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
You may want to query one of the parts replacement sites to see if they can get you a speaker. Something like truesupplier.com or cnn.cn (Just as a reference, I'm not vouching for the legitimacy of these sites.)
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
the non capacitive touch screens are indestructable compared to the HD2's.. anyway.. I would have tried without first..

I know my comment didn't help much after the damage was done but it just seemed like the last thing I would do.. that's all. what's done is done. Let's just see if you're insured..!
[HD2 General] elkyelky:
I've had my fair share of wets phones and I don't think 48 hours is long enough for it to dry out completely.

Cover the phone in a cloth and sit it on top of your television for a week.

Don't forget, you let the phone sit in distilled water for an hour, that's plenty of time for water to soak deep down into the nooks and crannys.
[HD2 General] balane:
That's pretty much what I'm doing now. Only difference is that it's sitting behind the exhaust vent on my computer which seems to be a nice temperature for drying without being too hot. My TV is a plasma and has no flat surface on top.
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
HARD RESET <<<< & don't use your phone with battery cover for few days so water evaporate
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
at this point i would be wondering if soaking it in ethanol / alchohol would do it some good. my reasoning:

-Alchohol / ethanol / similar is a water dispersant and evaporates very quickly

- the liquid is much thinner than water so will get into every nook and cranny

- its wort a go since it seems like its a bit buggered anyway
[HD2 General] balane:
From what I've read the 99% denatured alcohol rescue is split between two camps, both far on one side of the option or the other.

I guess getting it under the screen might help but I can't see what it could do for the speakers.

If I do this, and I'm very hesitant to do it, it will be a total last ditch effort when I've given up all other hope.

I think some long term drying is in order, and maybe a couple of fingers crossed.
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
he is better using >>>> the spray for cleaning microcircuits, I have try it in the past and it works very well.

Take out the btery and spry it n all parts. It will dry by it self in few minutes time
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
give it a try
[HD2 General] balane:
Do you happen to have a product name you can recommend?
[HD2 General] sudsboy:
cover it with newspaper, then go get uncook rice, cover the phone & newspaper with rice, leave it for a week for completely dry.

Or have a lot of dry silicagel, you can use it as well. If what you have is those type usually found in dry food, make sure it dry otherwise it won't observe water. If it brand new like those found in glossary store, then just put phone in big zip lock bag with the silicagel (or something where air cannot go in or out).

Just remember, don't heat it (like hair dryer, hot air, etc) as that will speed up the oxidize and have rust on small parts in your phone.
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
sorry no , just go to a repair of circuit shop and i am sure they will tel you the name.

I am looking for a way to quicly change my ringing profiles for situations like going into a meeting(Just Vibrate) or driving(Vibrate and Ring loud).

Is there an application that would work on a TD2? and not be an eyesore?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] seeraeuber:
Ringing Profiles - app

Try sbsh phone-weaver or PWM, both are working on Topaz

(tried them also on 3600 and ELF, also working there very comfortable)

isn't it easy enough to just press volume keys and select de volume desired with a finger-touch? also there are buttons for silent/vibrate/ring.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] seeraeuber:
ringing profiles - controlled schedules

Dear crisagatie,

the user was asking - I only wanted to give a hand - one thing to mention, especially to U:

Both of the recommended apps give you much more possibilities to controll not only your ringing-profiles but you CAN set time-scheduled switches - not only for rings but much, much more. Crisagatie - check out first and post after, thxs and regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] crisagatie:
why are you so defensive? my reply was for savagezaing, not to you, he only asked for an app to quickly change ringing profiles, not an advanced app. nobody said the apps you proposed are no good, it was just a question to clarify things. you are being arrogant and I really don't understand what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment. maybe you should take your signature more seriously. sorry to everybody for off-topic, I left this thread.

Hi, what are the best (fully working and bug free) barcode reader for 2D/DataMatrix/EAN/QR barcode?

I've tryed QuickMark, but does not work well with HD2, i-nigma is very cute and works good, but read only DataMatrix and QR.
[HD2 General] FrankCastle:
excuse the newbie question - ive tried barcodezilla.lite and i-nigma and i cant get the camera to scan any barcodes, is there something obvious im doing wrong?
[HD2 General] nniicckkss:
QuickMark works perfectly fine on my HD2. just downloaded it direct from the official site and it works.
[HD2 General] JuBond:
I'll second this - I installed Quickmark on my HD2 yesterday, and scanned a bunch of QR codes from Firefox. Worked every time. Register at their site and download the version for the HD2. If you've done this, describe your problem in more detail.
[HD2 General] Naamah:
Ok, I've downloaded new version of QuickMark, and now all working good.
[HD2 General] compact_bijou:
Yeah, it's great. When you're holding a 1KG bag of flour in one hand and a £500 phone in the other which is connected to several billion pounds worth of internets .. you point the barcode reader at the bag of flour and the barcode software connects to said several billion pounds worth of internets and the software tells you that you are, in fact, holding a 1kg bag of flour in the other hand :confused:
[HD2 General] TomH01:
I downloaded Quickmark, it reads the barcodes ok, but won't let me do anything with them, it just says that this feature is available for the advanced edition only.
[HD2 General] rahulelectra:

[HD2 General] dwizzy130:

[HD2 General] le_paulo:
You can use Windows 7 to update to any ROM, whether shipped or cooked. I can't even sync with Windows Mobile Device Centre due to drivers not loading and I can still get the phone into bootloader mode and change ROMs of my choice. I also successfully installed Hard SPL using my Windows 7 computer (64 bit version).

Somehow, when the HD2 goes into bootloader mode, Windows 7 recognises it properly and loads the correct drivers. From there, it's an easy step to use the RUU (ROM Update Utility) to upload ROMs and Radios.

I can't promise you'll be able to sync your HD2 though so if you can, congratulations - I've spent 4 weeks trying to fix the drivers not loading issue with no success. :(
[HD2 General] bibbe:
i am able to sync my HD2 to windows 7 64bit.

How do I install Swype beta on the Nexus One? I found http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/ but it's only for Droid. Doesn't work on the N1 because the screen resolution is wrong.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMan42:
It still works,I use the Droid version on my N1 without an issue - it'll give the error message about the screen size but if you press the text field again it'll pop up and work fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southeastbeast:
it actually DOES work, just not in landscape. Just close the error message and go to input portrait mode again and it'll work. I just turned off auto orientation to always keep my phone in portrait mode to avoid any crashes while laying down and it switching to landscape. There is an .apk file out there that says they have patched it but to no avail =P

Swype is my keyboard while driving (1 handed operation) but I use Smart Keyboard (free on market) for regular landscape typing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breakthecycle2:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelitton:
I'd prefer Swype, but other options exist...

I'd rooted my Kindle Fire and put Swype on there, and use it on my Evo (work phone) and on Incredible. So I'd prefer to have the same tool on all devices.

Two similar products that reportedly DO work with Nexus:

TouchPal Keyboard (free)

SlideIT ($5.99)

Both are in the Android Marketplace

Somewhere I think I've got the apk for ShapeWriter as well, and I used to like that one, so could be worth a test.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I'm not sure what the problem is here? I've been using Swype on my N1 for as long as I can remember, and have never had any problems?

As stated above, use Co0kie's Home Tab. You can select 3x3, 4x4, 5x4 or 5x5 quicklinks on the home tab (amongst other stuff).

Incidentally, don't go for v1.54 - that's way old. There's v1.61 available now with much more options in it.

You'll probably want to look at the CHTEditor that helps you change the settings for it. You can get the link for that out of my signature. I've read that the author of that application is particularly handsome and smart, and all the ladies love him! lol
