[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubed Guru:
I am running the Rodriguez 2.2 Rom.

Anyways, all seems to work normal again. But, just to be on the safe side, I think I will leave it in the rice bucket a little more after I get home.

Btw, this morning, I was running the Signed FRF50 Modaco rom, then I did a full wipe and Nand Restore to the prior backup to Rod 2.2 Rom. No issues.

Wondering if the OLED screen on the Nexus One has anything to do with the screen "Still Fully Functional" compared to a normal LCD?

Thanks all for the response. Going to do just as you say.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quelltextfabrik:
Pics or it didn't happen! :D

Also, see if you can clean around the lock button with compressed air or blowing or something, having the battery cover removed. Might be a rice/dirt related problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red MacGregor:
my nexus one has been in the toilet, in the bath, and in a diet dr. pepper... bag of rice each time, and it's 100%, no humidity under the screen or anything..

ALL of the moisture stickers are triggered tho..

heh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
Dropped my phone in a pool, its still working fine. If you have problems with your lock button, oh well. Install Cyanogen and use the trackball awake setting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i hope you put the phone in a bag of rice immediately!! that greawtly increases your chance of a working device. i've had this happen many times where i save a phone using this method. the rice absorbs moisture very quickly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootsSiR:
Silicia gel works even better. I keep a big bag of it in my safe to keep the moisture away from my gun.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
Submerging your phone in Silica gel is probably as inadvisable as in water, though :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
I'm certain he would mean beads, not necessarily in a fluid-form
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
I was thinking more of the powder sachets that you get in dried seaweed packets. Not sure exposing your phone to silicate beads is a great idea either, since it's a skin irritant.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
The screen is pretty much sealed off. So i guess when water gets INTO your screen behind the glass you are pretty fecked..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0nniez:
put it in dry rice!! works 10/10 times for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buck Shot:
Was on the phone after I had shoulder surgery with headset on. I had my N1 resting in my sling. Went to the sink to wash a cup, my N1 slid out and went straight to the drain were water ran on it for a few seconds. I left it in a sealed tupperware box with rice in it for 24hrs... Works like a charm
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sistum Id:
Was it a glass of tap water or some sort of bottled water (distilled/filtered)?

I ask because tap water has all sorts of chemicals and when it drys, they are left behind. Like your shower gets that white build up on the walls (aka hard-water buildup) unless your doing the hanky panky in the shower and not cleaning up your mess. Whatever electronic board is near the power button could have a bridge residue causing it to act strange.

My girlfriend left her G1 out and my 2 year old son dropped in the dogs water bowl. I dried it out and left it in rice as well for 24 hours. 24 hours later I powered it up and the phone would act weird. Random keys being pressed. Random menu pop ups. I took it all apart and noticed white residue on some of the circuit boards. I cleaned them with rubbing alcohol and a soft mini tooth brush it stopped the randomness but I still needed to replace the LCD screen. Beyond my control.

Anyways good luck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowlala:
I can attest to this. I spilled coffee over the entire screen one morning. I swear I moved faster than the flash cuz I grabbed tissue and wiped it clean in like seconds. But everything was still fine and dandy after though. =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariolopezjr:
You guys have such bad luck! :O Never dropped any electronic in any body of water lol. XD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
I highly doubt that he was drinking a glass of distiled water. Drinking distiled water is not good for someone to drink. So more than likely it was tap/drinking water.

Of course the iDiot phone will win. The majority of society falls into this category. Why do you think it's so popular?
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
Because people dont need to read hundreds of posts on forums to make it work right?

I gave up my iPhone 3GS for an EVO..and am not going back...but that's because I enjoy tinkering with gadgets...the masses dont.
[EVO 4G General] dschlaefer:
Not only am I going to feel even better about my purchase of the Evo 4G, surely it will become a better device if it wins the Endaget poll.

I bet if it wins the poll people will go up to me on the street and say "Man, you sure picked the right phone"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Plattfuss:
Hello!

I have heard that Samsung is very very bad with update their phones and give them new and updated software...

Has somewhere an idea how this could go with the I9000? It will come out with Android 2.1 and 2.2 is now on the run!?

Greetings... Plattfuss
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
2.2 isnt even out yet, and alot of current phones from various manufactures have different dates for the 2.2 update.

But if you are talking about rooted devices ... guranteed that once galaxy s is rooted it will have froyo.

Besides that me persoanlly i dont really care for the 2.2 update. Im running a stock nexus one and the only thing i miss is wifi tethering. But that comes out of the box with the galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] latraviata:
According to gsmarena and another website (can't remember which) Samsung have confirmed that GS will get an update to 2.2, so if you're worried just wait until it is officially out. If it takes too long you can buy another phone instead.
[HD2 General] Redeyedrichard:
Hey all,

Check out the attached screenshot of my messages screen. I updated my ROM to the HTC 1.66 and reinstalled all of my apps etc. But look at my messages. When I go to type one the text is of similar size and hard to read...barely fitting 2 words on one line. Can someone please help!!

Thanks.

Richard
[HD2 General] nobnut:
There is a similar thread over on Themes and Apps. Did you restore a backup after updating your ROM? If so, the registry from your old ROM will have overwritten the registry from the new ROM. Hence your problem.

If this is the case, hard reset and reinstall cabs etc manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Plattfuss:
Hello!

Does the Samsung i9000 have full access with the Android 2.1 to the MS Exchange stuff (ok, I know, without tasks) including the calendar and maybe also the group calendar?

Thx!

Greetings... Plattfuss
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Highl1:
Android 2.1 can sync mail, contacts and calendar, but I didn't check if you can open shared calendars in it

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Can some mod please sticky this? Thanks.

There have been a lot of people asking this, so I though I'd write up a guide explaining everything. This will just give you a basic idea of modding and it's up to you to use this knowledge for specific things to work on.

Editing Images

The most important thing is editing images, so you will have to be familiar with Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET or any other image editing program. There are plenty of tutorials available on the web, just search.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
The below techniques will teach you different ways to extract the PNGs, BMPs or GIFs from CABs or DLLs so you can modify them.

Extracting from CABs

The easiest way to make a custom theme is to look at other available ones and modify them to your liking. As most themes are distributed as CABs, you will need WinCE CAB Manager to open and extract the files. If they are images, you can now edit them easily and replace them in the CAB. If they're DLLs, it's a bit more tricky.

Resources inside DLLs

You will need a resource editor in order to view and replace images in DLLs or even EXEs. An all-time classic is the Resource Hacker, although it' very basic it is entirely free and does its job. If you want more features, have a look at Resource Tuner or Restorator.

Many DLLs have to be signed to work: just download View attachment 340689 and extract it. Now, after you have modified a DLL, copy it over to the folder where you extracted the ZIP and open a command prompt from that folder by Shift-right-clicking in the Explorer window and type "sign file.dll" while repacing "file" with the name of the DLL.

These are just the basics and many things aren't covered in this little tutorial, for example editing Manila files, so if there are any questions feel free to ask in the comments below. If there is enough need, I will also expand this tuorial a bit.

Happy skinning :)

[Desire General] Scottland:
Over the last couple of weeks it seems like my battery has been fairing worse.

My phone was fully charged an hour ago, and I've been browsing/twittering a bit. Battery is now at 69%.

To add to this, I've had my phone on charge overnight a few times and reported full/100% when unplugged. A few mins later the charge drops to ~90%.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a faulty battery, or a software issue?

There's not much runing in the background, just Facebook, a weather program updating every 2 hrs.

There's nothing out of the ordinary showing up on battery history either.

Thoughts?
[Desire General] Laban:
I guess you didn't have this problem before the recent update?

I've read alot of people having problems with the battery after the latest OTA update. After the phone is fully charge the battery immediately drops faster than usual. Also, sometimes by HTC battery widget reports 96-100% even if I have charged it over night.

I don't think the draining is faster now than before, except for the foirst 5-10%.
[Desire General] Scottland:
I haven't installed the latest ota update, infact I haven't installed any updates for a while. I might change to a different Rom to see if it makes any difference.
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
Search threads you'll find an answer to the 90-100% issue. basically it will charge to 100%, then stop charging until it falls to 90% and then charge back up to 100% (rather than trickle charging once it gets to 100% so it will stay there). So when you unplug is after a full charge there is the gamble that you've unplugged it somewhere between 90% and 100% - but you have to wait a few minutes to find out... its so exciting - every morning I can't wait to get to the train station to check if I've guessed correctly... :p
[Desire General] atomfix:
Just flash a UVOC kernel on your phone :D
[Desire General] cez10:
hahah you made me laugh :D

i think it might be worth to drain the battery till 0% then fully recharge to recalibrate the cycle
[Desire General] kinkade:
check in spare parts to see if your phone is sleeping properly. a couple of us are having that problem, o solved it by switching of wireless location. not sure thats a longterm solution though as i am always using geolocation on my phone
[Desire General] choccy31:
I am turning phone of at night but don'ty like doing this, but I always carry my usb lead at work so I can charge up if required in emergency.
[Desire General] ljesh:
I have the same problem.

I recharged my Desire full 6 hours ago, and now I am at 38% remaining battery with moderate usage. I have the latest generic rom.

Before I got it I was reading about bad battery life, but I didn't expect it to be THIS bad. What, 8 hours, 10, 12?

Sad.
[Desire General] kinkade:
it doesnt need to be that bad at all, when you get it setup right it will wasily last an entire day, mine suddenly changed and the life got worse but i have found a kind of solution, you need to play around with your settings.

a great saving is to switch mobile data when you are near a computer, you can still receive text messages and make calls and you will use a tiny amount of battery
[Desire General] ljesh:
Email is crucial an basic to me, just like phone calls and more then text messages (I don't need them). Just I have to be able to receive emails at any time. Still, I didn't expect imap over GSM Only (my current setting, I don't need 3G, just basic email sync) to use so much battery. This is my first cell phone to be so bad at battery :/

It's 5 days old, and people say it will get better in days... but lets see. I hope so.

By the way, "setting it up in proper way" I hope it doesn't mean turning off this and that. Because in the end I will receive a basic, phone calls, cell phone. It's not smart anymore :)

Edit: Since I wrote the previous post, till now, the battery dropped 5%, and now it's at 33%.
[Desire General] kinkade:
totally understand about having email on.

5% in a couple of minutes is totally wrong. gps/wifi on?, what is set to update and how frequently, weather, twitter, stocks, mail sync.

also download spare parts and see what is under partial wake usage and whether or not your desire is going to sleep when the screen is off. its the top option in the app. you want other and since boot and running and screen % and then check partial wake usage, they should be close to the same and see if anything has a large blue bar.
[Desire General] ljesh:
Wifi is off most of the time, if I turn it on it will be only to check something fast (5 minutes max at a period).

Weather updates every 1 hour

Facebook once a day

No twitter, stocks (they are checked in settings -> sync and can confirm that are disabled)

Email keeps the connection only, imap-idle

GPS is disabled, although the weather uses it at the refreshing time, to re-locate me.

Thats all I can think of.

I really use it a little (at least not as much as I would love) and I still lose so much battery.
[Desire General] kinkade:
how often is the mail sync? every 5 mins, 15?

i'd definitely download spare parts from the market it's free, the interface is a bit weird but it gives you useful stats.

it sounds like you know your stuff so i'm going to assume that you dont have bluetooth on you screen on full brightness.

what does it say in settings>about phone>battery>battery use?
[Desire General] ljesh:
The email is imap-idle. It keeps the connection all the time, and waits for email. When the server receives the email, it pushes it to the phone. But connection is kept alive all the time. Idling most of the time, but keeping it alive.

I will check the spare parts program later or tomorrow, I am tired today, long day :)

Bluetooth is off always, I dont need it. Really, all I need on a phone is email 24/7 (I am linux system administrator, taking care of alot of servers, I need my emails) and like 5 phone calls daily, each not longer then 1 minute (we don't talk much :))) )

battery use says:

Android System 96%

CoPilot 2% (freshly installed it and tested a bit, and then terminated it)

Cell standby 2%

Uptime is 21 hours

Awake time is 10 hours

isn't that much? Like half of the time, the phone is awake :/

Edit: brightness is set at automatic
[Desire General] kinkade:
ok, i think we;ve found the problemo, android system at 96% is way off mine is currently at 26 and that is a bit high in my opinion. also my uptime is 7 hours and awake is 1 so thats seven to one as opposed to 2 to 1 in your case.

something is using your system resources and stopping your phone sleeping
[Desire General] ljesh:
I'm glad we got somewhere and I have to thank you for your patience in helping me with my problem.

Tonight I will reboot before I go to sleep, and will disable the email syncing. Just to see if the e-mail makes android be used 96% of the time, and tomorrow I will see the uptime and awake time.

Good idea?
[Desire General] kinkade:
its my pleasure dude, what goes around comes around

i think that is a logical place to start, spare parts will give you a better idea of what is using your resources hopefully by app rather than just android system.

instead of downloading spare parts you can also type this code into the dialer

*#*#4636#*#*

and it will get you the same info
[Desire General] Noodled24:
just subscribed to this thread because I'm having similer problems.

"android system" is always 49%-60%

Current uptime - 3hours 4mins

Current awake times - 2hours 37mins.

I have a feeling foursquare might be the culprit since it's ALWAYS in my running apps, even when I've not used it since boot, and shut it with task killer... an hour or so later and it's back.

Something isnt right tho. I think from a full charge I should get 24hours from my phone with moderate use.
[Desire General] kinkade:
yeah that is absolutely not normal, use spare parts and thatll tell you if it is foursquare

I thought rom manager required flashing it's own customer recovery. Is this not the case anymore or has clock figured out how to flash a recovery to the evo???:eek:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
All I did was flash a rom manger friendly rom and installed it. Went to market and downloaded rom manager. Then loaded it and downloaded clock boot from there. Went through that process.

Now I just click reboot to recovery from rom manager and it boots me right into the custom clock recovery and you can do however from there.

It's worth every penny!!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
not yet but toast and maejrep say they do have a method to flash /recovery its just manual and includes an older version eng hboot.

the clockwork rom manager method basically puts itself into an update.zip which is signed so the stock HTC recovery loads it and bam! custom recovery appears!

im still wondering how hes able to sign an update.zip file which HTC allows cuz IMO, that was the missing key!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:
It's just a test signed zip that does a hot recovery replace (it doesn't actually flash). You guys are running a Test HTC image, so test keys work on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TREYisRAD:
Will this work with Froyo?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DruKe:
I was going to test it and I keep running into problems.

Maybe it's the ROM Manager? It won't auto reboot (maybe I don't get the whole idea) and if I manually try to update it with the recovery mode with update.zip, it fails immediately.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhgi:
I notice that when installing the recovery, there is a update.zip place in the root of the SD card. I think that is the recovery file. Anyway, I did a reboot to recovery mode, and it worked no problem. Reboot the phone again, it will boot back into android OS.

Man..this one sick program but brilliant.:)

PS. Got the paid version also. I think this will comes in handy later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
yea the hot recovery flash is not a big surprise ...

aaahhhh, the test HTC image part with the test keys, that makes so much sense!

sorry for the n00bness, still new to signing zips. where can test keys which work on the Test HTC image be obtained from?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:
The ones found in the android source
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
does anyone know if rom manager will work if you used the unrevoked method to root?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankenstein\:
This won't work on unrevoked. It requires rooting via toast's method using the test image. You can find instructions for this method in the sticky thread pg 1 of this forum, how to root the HTC EVO.

rgds,

frank

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
the technical reason behind this, as koush explained earlier in this thread is because toast's method uses PC36IMG.zip, which is an HTC leaked userdebug RUU (Rom update utility). the userdebug RUU loads a version of the recovery which accepts test keys on update.zip files. koush signed his custom recovery with an accepted test key so it works with the PC36IMG.zip recovery.

the official recovery (unrevoked root doesnt change the official recovery), which the phone comes loaded with, will not accept update.zip files signed with test keys ....

if i'm wrong, hopefully somebody will correct me, bu that seems to be how ive gathered it works!
