[Hero, G2 Touch General] ggrammer:
Hey Xeno, how comfortable are you with opening your phone? I used to repair cells and water damage was the most common, if it was fully submersed and it took you a while to get the battery off then there will most definitely be corrosion on the board, take a soft bristle toothbrush and some 99% isopropyl alcohol(any drug store for cheap) and pour the alcohol directly on the board wherever you see a blueish green buildup (corrosion) and scrub it with the toothbrush, make sure the corrosion is not bridging any contacts on the board causing a short. if the corrosion is being difficult a last resort I used to use for the really bad units was take an everyday cleaner maybe something a little stronger then windex but not something too strong and spray it liberally over the circuit board and use the toothbrush to scrub it clean, don't scrub too hard because some of those components are fragile. just get a decent lather going and make sure all the green spots are gone. now rinse it in very hot water, I used to just turn the tap to hot and leave it run for a minute then rinse it thoroughly and lightly scrub with the brush to make sure there is no soap residue, then let it sit for 10 mins and then pour some isopropyl alcohol on the phone and let it sit in a dry warm area for a few hours/overnight. this will clean the board of corrosion and adding the alcohol will help evaporate the remaining water hidden underneath some of the components. Honestly this didn't work all the time but it worked a bunch of the time...good luck.

I dropped my Hero down the toilet (accidently) at work, jumped after, dried it a couple of days (also in rice) - et voila - it's working like before.

(additonally i used some fumigation spray, just to make sure...as it was not my toilet :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] furrypotato:
How long has it been ?

After a few hours I used a vacuum cleaner on my wife's Desire too. She had actually put it on a heater to dry which is not the best idea.

Hers works fine now after some 12 hours of drying, she just has a watermark on screen but you only see it when it's off.

Good luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JonasBom:
Hey, if the rice trick dont work, you could try to flush your phone with clear distilled water, because when the water in your phone is evaporated and sucked out by the rice, there will be minerals in your phone, which can block the access. After you flush it, do the rice trick again.

Do it on your on risk ;) It may damage your phone much more, so take it as a last chance ;)

But i see your not far away from a new hero...i would send some money, but your ezHero wont boot on my hero, so i wait until it works ;) And i´m very broke, too -thats the real reason xD

So good luck, hope you could understand my english ;)

[EVO 4G General] ezkialrage:
I've got an issue with my evo that it will randomly start not sleeping when i turn off the screen. ive got no radios on, and no internet and i am befuddled as to what is keeping it up. the battery was lasting exceptionally well a couple of days before the update because i took off all facebook syncing (that was causing my battery drain). now its back to belly flopping to zero as fast as it can when its supposed to be sleep.

ive tried turning off gtalk, ive got no radios on. at first i thought it was a syncing issues, because i was checking accounts and syncs, and one of my gmail accounts was constantly syncing contacts, and error'ing out. so i turned off sync contacts and its still awake when i turn off the screen.

Im just putting it out there to see if anyone else might have noticed such things on their evo. im still searching to see what could be keeping it up, but for now, i am rebooting as i write this to see if that helps.

is this possible? I've been using a rooted G1 for a while and just switched to a Nexus one. I'm running FRF83 but with radio 4.06.00.12_7. I don't mind rooting but I wanted to try the way without unlocking the boot loader.

i used the "how-to-get-froyo-for-non-rooted-nexus-one-users" from the unlockr to get froyo

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You needed to use the official update with the radio included.

I don't think there is a way to downgrade from a newer update. Worst case you can root without touching the bootloader now.

Hi, Im not sure who/where to ask, but I have a G1, its was dropped in a cup of coffee, but has now dried out, and mostly works except the Menu key!

The menu key seems to either perform the Back button, or enter some random letters!

This means I cannot use the Menu options within apps!

1/ Now I cannot remember, if the popout keyboard "Menu" button is supposed to perform the same action as the top "Menu" button?

1.a/ As currently it too repeats a set of chars into a search box.

2/ Is there a way I can create a App, or mod a ROM, to allow a different key combo to activate the Menu action?

I have currently flashed on Cyanogenmod-5 For Dream/Magic - Mean Lean Pastry Machine - V5.0.8 (06/19/2010)

Also, when I choose desktop, if I exit the browser then next time I open it it doesn't act as though desktop is set, but when I go to settings desktop is still selected I just have to press it again. Shouldn't it stay unless I uncheck it or maybe clear browser cache, etc? Not a huge deal just a question I thought of while typing the main ones above...

[HD2 General] Rugged96:
hi

last night my phone was unable to launch sense. after uninstalling most of my programs -- none of them new in the last week--and several soft resets I resorted to a hard reset.

I reinstalled my most critical programs but this time I made sure that I put most of them on the device with only a select few (games, etc) to the card. I charged it all night and have used the phone slightly less then normal but in comparison it is 430pm and i have 76% battery left. I'm usually at 76% at 10am and recharging by 3pm.

the biggest difference is that i actually think my enable/disable data connection is working as intended. I have the wifi set to turn off after 30 sec of inactivity and now when I grab the phone and unlock it the wifi has to reconnect. Minor inconvenience in my book. I'm not sure why it didn't work like that before. the only other thing i haven't done is used the bluetooth today. I'll connect that later and report findings.

thanks
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
the more I think about it the less I believe it has anything to do with the wifi because i was out of town 3 days last week and didn't use wifi at all--(had it off completely) and I had the same bad battery performance.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If this is your first hard reset since new, then its not such a huge surprise. The first weeks we have a new phone, we are installing/removing/forgetting to remove/incorrectly removing/'uninstalling failed' apps, themes, tweaks left right and center.

Once you get to the first reset, we only reinstal the stuff we know works, and know we want, onto a nice fresh canvas, so any bugs and glitches that have built up are gone.

Plus you know more about running the phone, more aware of when data/wifi is on/off, closing apps, stuff like that, all small things, but which together can make a big difference overall.
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
I think you got it...that pretty much sums it up. in a weird way, I'm glad I had the problem that forced a reset. although next time I'll remember to backup my opera bookmarks...lol
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I have selected 30 seconds time-out as well and something (not sure what) kept trying to connect and actually connected and then 30 secs later disconnected... all that disconnecting ate my battery overnight for 25%.

I simply did this - disabled Tmobile Data and Tmobile Internet - and when I want to use it - I enable it for the time being and then disable it after. WORKS LIKE A CHARM! :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
and thats why i use opera 9.7, because it uses my synced shortcuts from the PC/activesync(though they only seem to sync TO the phone, not from, sometimes, but i can live with that)

I never could get opera 10 to see them, even though they were there on the phone.
[HD2 General] kupz:
I had exactly the same experience to the letter, i wonder if it has anything to do with the amount of memory left on the internal memory as mine was running pretty slow when sense stopped working.
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
Welcome to the forum...

I think it has something to do with it...combined with a multitude of other issues.

It should be mandatory for everyone to reset after their first 30 days--that's exactly where I'm at.
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
i guess my luck ran out...today has been less then optimal. about 30% left right now compared to 74% at this point yesterday. usage hasn't changed significantly and i didn't screw with any settings that i can think of.

i did notice that when i wake the phone the wifi is still running unlike yesterday.

i can't figure out why that's different.
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
I figured out what is different and why the wifi stayed on in standby. I changed the very first BsB Tweak for Power Saving Mode. I had the Power Save Mode "ON" all day today and as a result the wifi was on all day too--hence my horrible battery usage. I don't understand how that qualifies as power saving.

I have switched it to Power Save OFF and so far the wifi turns off when the phone is in standby.

fingers crossed for tomorrow....
[HD2 General] aiwama:
People most of the time forget that the oscilations on power consumption have to do with the crap mobile networks we have to have our highly sophisticated smartphones on. They are so sophisticated that automatically look for a signal whenever there's none. That 'eats' battery like there's no end! Even when we are not using the HD2 - or have its screen turned off - it is looking for network just in case we switch it back on for a bit of surfing or to download something. In fact, it consumes even more battery when it is looking for a connection than when it is not. Keep that in mind, guys.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:

[HD2 General] Rugged96:
i thought things were going to improve...but, about half way through the day my wifi stopped shutting off in standby. so here I am with 30% left wondering what's going on.
