Iv dropped phones in toilets, puddles, sink, cups of water, and back when me and my brother shared a phone he had it in his pocket when we went wakeboarding.

Its usually the battery that messes up. Have you tried changing it? And if you just let it air out ALOT. Sometimes it will go back to working like normal.

One phone completely didnt work, I got a new one, then months later I just randomly turned the old one on and it came up without a problem.

Another phone would work some times and some times not at all it was really just random.

The one we went wakeboarding with, we took the phone apart and put it up on the dash of the boat. By the end of boating it worked like it was never in water. The phone also went threw many many bad things (skateboard sling shots, toilet, used as a toy to throw to each other and much more) it was a rock.

Try taking it apart, like just the first 4 main screws and blow dry it.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
went ahead and took it to sprint. I looked at the moisture indicator on my g/f's phone and they both looked the same so i figured might as well try. Wasn't an issue. My replacement is in the mail. :-)

nice! you lucked out man. they say bad things come in 3's, and good things come in 5's. like the celebrities dying, miachel jackson, farrah fawcett, ed mcmahon, and billy mays threw in the 4th free.

[Hero CDMA General] Jjday7:
I have a similar situation but my phone was never wet but the strip that is visible when you take the back off is pink. The one on the circuit board is like new. I am getting a refurb from sprint but I'm worried they may say that the phone was wet and charge me full price when I return it. Does anybody have any experience with this?
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
hmm.. i didn't think of that either.. i didn't realize there was one inside the phone. What happens if i return my phone and get the replacement and they open it up and find water damage? i have TEP, but sprint never said anything about water damage.. Will they charge me full price for a phone or what?
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
If they are already sending you the phone. Then you dont have to worry about anything. Usually they will check it in the store before replacing, sometimes they wont check it if maybe the tech was busy or not there or they just didnt care. (you said you went to the store right?)

Also someone said the hero was on the do not touch list at sprint, so if the phone wasnt working properly then they just replace it. (my guess, its what they do for all other phones)
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
yea, i went to a corporate store that has a repair center. As far as i can tell all they did was plug it into a charger for an hour. when i came to check on the status the tech unplugged the phone, looked at the battery widget i conveniently placed on the home screen and said,"hmmm.. it isn't charging. We'll have to send you out a replacement". That was that. I didn't ask anymore questions. i just don't want to receive a replacement and then get hit with a huge bill down the road. On another note, i went to sprints website today and noticed they updated it and i can no longer find the activate a phone button.. wtf?
[Hero CDMA General] Jjday7:
its actually right beside the usb port but inside the housing. Your thinking about the one right when you take off the back cover. There's another one you can't see. When you take the housing off, it is very visible. I really hope I don't have an issue. I can claim ignorance because the sprint rep ordered the phone. If they missed it, I shouldn't be penalized.

also sprints new website sucks in my opinion. Go under services to find the activation link.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
oh, ok. i saw that one. I thought you meant there was one inside the phone after disassembly. Mine looked a little off color, but i compared it to my g/f's brand new Hero and they were pretty much the same... Also, a little drop of bleach shouldn't hurt anything.. lol
[Hero CDMA General] Jjday7:
updated my post. Read it again. There is another one that you can't see.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
great... i'm a little afraid to take the housing off. There is a white sticker that goes over the bottom screw.. how did you get around that?
[Hero CDMA General] Jjday7:
its tricky but a little screw driver will take it off. If your very very careful, it can be removed and reapplied. If you already have a refurb coming just go with the flow. Sprint says that if your phone cannot be repaired and refurbed then they will charge. I am gonna keep my fingers crossed for you and myself.

im curious to know what eatin rice gotta do with it =)
[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
No kidding! Those instructions say to cook/eat the rice but the phone was dropped in the TOILET! I'm not a fan of rice but that would have to taste ... well, ****ty ;)
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
My sister dropped her phone in the toilet. I took it to Sprint and said she had a ****ty phone call so they replaced it.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Blue Bleach Flavored Rice mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

EDIT:

Side note. I can't believe dropping phones in the toilet is so common. Do you guys have nothing better to do while you pee????
[Hero CDMA General] ramiss:
Um...no!

First of all you can't restore the old rom without a new rom. It isn't like the stock rom is hidden on the phone somewhere.

Second...this is a sure fire way to alert Sprint that you have rooted and flashed your phone.

This thread has a link to the stock Hero Rom which you can flash via Recovery.

[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
Umm.. Well as i was explaining, i broke my foot and was expecting a very important call. It's not exactly easy to get anywhere fast with a broken foot so i keep it on me or near me at all times. My mistake was leaving it on the counter in the bathroom and then hobbling out forgetting about it. Then when said important call came through i hobbled at full speed into the bathroom tried to grab it, accidently knocking it into the open toilet. Under normal circumstances this probably wouldn't happen. Although i have seen plenty of drunken people try and pull their phone out of their pockets infront of the pisser and plop!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] james mellor:
Hello, I have a XDA Orbit 2 (screen res 240x320). I wanted to install Android on it. I did a quick search and found a few things....

My Tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625200

I had a read though that. Got a rough idea on what I was doing.

(1º CHOOSE YOUR ANDROID BUILD) I decided to use:

Warm Donut (Donut): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619980

(2º INSTALL THE OS LOADER TO NAND) Now this was my problem, I visited the website "http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D" to choose my .NBH file. I choose the latest ones. And the selection was:

polaimg-panel1-320-08-04-10.nbh

polaimg-panel2-320-08-04-10.nbh

polaimg-panel3-320-08-04-10.nbh

I tested ALL 3 and non worked (unless I was doing something wrong) all i got was when it restarted it went to a fizzy kind of screen then came straight to a white one.

But I did try another .NBH file what was near the bottom called "polaimg-240x320-03-02-10.nbh " that didn't work but it was close.... when it restarted it vibrated once then went to a black screen then vibrated twice then came to another screen with a animal in the top left and under niethe they was loads of white numbers letters scrolling down the screen then it just got stuck on that and nothing happened from there.

EDIT:

I have got a bit closer now. I decided to try run it through haret, Well... I click Run. see black screen with letters scrolling, I get to the bit where it says "Hold down Volume Up or DPad center to launch installer. And before I have chance to do that this appears under:

sh:2: unknown operand
losetup: /dev/block/loop 1: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to reach system.img on SD card.

Can anyone help me? or point me in the right direction to get android installed on my xda orbit 2?

Thanks, James
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
Just try a earlier nbh i use polaimg-panel3-320-29-03-10.nbh most of the later ones have either problems with sound or wifi.

If you get a white screen it's prob wrong panel depends on you phone pola100 or 200.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] james mellor:
Thanks, But I have tried that.

I have a new problem now. Might be easier to solve.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] james mellor:
can't anyone help? kinda in a rush for it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Apfelsafft:
Hi,

i had the same problem with another build.

You should try to get into the installation menu and install Android.

This helped for me.

I found the solution here on xda-developer.

Since I am too new or too stupid to post a link the post seems to be this one:

K so i wanted to put the fallout theme on my htc pure but dont know where to start. I hear alot about manila and i have no idea what it is or how to use it.Help would be greatly appreciated and a step by step would be ideal. I really want this theme so any help is great.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Manila is HTC's tabbed UI, also called Sense or TF3D.

You select Manila from your today settings in Startmenu\Settings\Today\Items.

Windows default UI is called Titanium.

If its a windows theme,i.e. it changes Top\Bottom bar colors, fonts, etc.

If its a manila theme, you have to make sure its compatible with your version of manila found under Startmenu\Settings\DeviceInfo\Software

Your Manila build will be either 2.1.xxxxxx or 2.5.xxxxxx.

Manila 2.1 has a programs tab where 2.5 has added program shortcuts to home tab.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] supasye:
hi does anyone know how to change the icon matrix?

theres is an app (freedhome) but that takes away sense altogether. i want to keep sense but edit the icon grid because the desire has such a big screen there is a lot of wasted space. also would like to remove text but anyone who knows please come out!

even if someone was to create an app to edit these kinds of settings that would be great.
[Hero CDMA General] jcvd:
Does anyone know if the fact that the active user profile is always set to use mip profile 1 (when not provisioning) is due to the rom being made specifically for Sprint? I remember when I had a htc vogue, there were carrier specific cab files that were necessary to make data work for my carrier. Is this something that is possible for the Sprint hero as well?
[HD2 General] Icedragon05:
Hi All

I have put some wav files (full cd quality) on sd card but they will not show on music shortcut, I have to use file explorer and select the track which then plays in media player. I was trying to avoid the reduction in quality (compression) of tracks when syncing from pc by pasting the cd tracks direct to the card. Is there any way to display and therefore play with full functionality, "full fat" files on sd card from the music icon?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
To be frank, can you really tell the difference between 177kbp/s CD tracks and 320kbp/s MP3s, especially through headphones?
[HD2 General] Icedragon05:
Not sure - feels like I'm missing something. Using Windows 7 and Win media player when syncing to the phone tries to turn everything down (smaller file size - lower quality). I'm not bothered about having an entire library on the card, 2 or 3 cd's is fine, I swap em around whenever I need to. What do you suggest for max quality that I can sync that will show up in library / music tab? I'm also not bothered about album art.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
You can set WMP up to rip to 320kbp/s MP3 under:

Organise -> Options -> Rip Music

That should sync them to be the same bitrate.

If you are adamant you want to use .WAV files, WMP mobile plays them fine, not sure why the Music tab doesn't use them.

I don't know if this has been suggested before but I wanted to throw it out there. I think the picture in the dialer app while on a call is very small and not clear. Does anyone know if its possible to make the picture displayed bigger and maybe better definition? I'm sure there could be a software limitation but hope not.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Yeah, I hate how the Iphone has the whole screen filled with the caller's face and my phone doesn't. However I've always thought of this as an android problem.

Read somewhere that android only saves your contact photos as thumbnail pics. So when someone calls, android just blows up that thumbnail into a slightly bigger square, resulting in a very pixelated picture on the screen.

Sucks. I hope Google does something about this. I've no idea if a 3rd party app can solve this.
[General Questions and Answers] banes:
Hello I have an AT&T Fuze (Raph100) that I have been reflashing roms successfully for a few weeks now. Yesterday night I had some problems with the touch screen being none responsive. This morning I removed the top half portion of the screen protector and then it started responding again. After doing that I reflashed it again and tried to get my android eclair 2.1c version but I was having another problem I had encountered before (I know how to resolve this issue so you don't have to worry about that). I also wanted to try a different rom so I loaded the new energy rom onto the SDcard (energy's latest stable build 21901.Sense2.1.Apr.25.7z) and I loaded it through the boot loader which I had never done before, I always run the wrapper file through USB sync. It went through successfully, but I am wondering if this is what caused my touch screen to become unresponsive. I also hard booted right after the reflash on the Calibration screen as I read somewhere. I did that twice, I don't know if that could cause a problem. My phone is not bricked though, as I have reflashed it multiple times since then with the TPC v3.1 version, the NRG latest build again, as well as MichyPrima's winmo lite boot loader for android eclair v 2.1c version. I plan to purchase a broken fuze to replace the screen if that is the problem in question, but is this even it? Is it possible to "brick" just the touch screen drivers, even though I am capable of reflashing? Do I need to reflash the HARD SPL? Any feedback or advice would be extremely appreciated''

Edit: LCD screen is slightly bleeding on middle left of the screen
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
I would say it was just a bad digitizer. All screens have to fail at some point in their lives, yours just happened to fail while you were flashing several roms. Just a coincidence.
[General Questions and Answers] banes:
Okay so it turns out i found some other threads talking about liquid under the screen, and their method to fix it was to use duct tape on the screen and pull it up. This not only alleviated the liquid issue underneath (still a little wet but not the blob) but it also fixed my touchscreen issue. I have had to use this trick a few times due to screen becoming non responsive but hey its better than throwing it away. I looked up a guide on replacing the digitizer and lcd screen and it really doesn't look like its worth it. Ugh wish they had planned the assembly to be more user friendly. I appreciate the help though thanks.

I recently had the same issue you described - a non-responsive touch screen. I had it professionally repaired for (eeek!) $125!
[General Questions and Answers] banes:
Well don't feel bad, I eventually got tired of doing that since it kept requiring me to do the trick constantly, and the tape would lose its sticking power so I had to carry around duct tape. So lame. So now I have to get it fixed, but luckily I found a place that will do it for $75 YAY.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] joeykache:
Thanks for the reply everyone. Okay but if i got ahead and format my sdcard wouldn't my phone not turn on since i'll be erasing the rom that is already installed onto the phone? I currently have an older cyanogen rom on it, should i leave the cyanogen rom file inside so i'll be able to turn on my phone and then go into terminal emulator? Because recovery doesn't even turn on for me so i wouldn't be able to do the flash in the recovery!

Hi,

Look on the market for "YouTube Ripper" - it's a free application - requirements are: A SD Card, Android 1.5 or better.

After you installed you can use it like this:

1. Open YouTube application

2. Search for your favorite youtube video.

3. Press on it until a menu pops up, press on "Share"

4. Select "YouTube Ripper"

5. YouTube Ripper application pops up, press on "Rip It!"

It will then start downloading the youtube video to your /sdcard/youtube folder.
