Hope for solution

The solvent that i used was a cleaner with a lubricant in it. All fluids had evaporation rates that vary on their molecular size and shape. The alcohol with evaporate first because it has a higher evaporation rate than water. Mine took a while-approx a week- of slow applied heat. If you can't get it repaired under warranty and are willing to risk it you can try this. I had a plantronics earpiece that fell into a cup of coffee. I filled a glass with rubbing alcohol %70 and dropped in the earpiece. This dillutes the water and rubbing alcolol (iso-propyl) alcohol will bond to the remaining water and increase the evaporation. You can also used denatured alcohol (methanol) avalable at Lowes. It contains no water and evaporates even faster than isopropyl. Test spot first. Make sure it doesn't damage the case. Danger is my earpiece did not have a screen. I still use the earpiece today. Make sure you take the battery out during this process and leave out untill dry. Ware flowing air will be the best thing to blow over your phone to help it dry.

Good Luck.

I have nothing to gain by saying this worked : ) only you do.

Thank you for the info, I will consider it in the future. I dont mean at all to be rude, I appreciate your time and efforts, but to me right now, my phone is as good as 100% golden!

CAJUNFLAVOREDBOB, i wish i had taken pictures of this to prove the results, but to be perfectly honest as i said, i did not expect this rice method to work whatsoever. I was completely skeptical, so to me pictures were pretty much pointless. I've had retarded anxiety for two days now thinking about buying a new phone and reloading an appreciable amount of data. So considering how much anxiety I suffered, while I am confident that if I did get my phone wet again, and take pictures of the whole rice process, it would prove it works.. I am not willing to deal with the anxiety of waiting more then six hours for my phone, I'm not a gambler, and Unemployment is a ***** lol. I was skeptical, but I have my phone back as I knew it, thats all I can say : )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
This will only help you, blast me all you want

I think everyone should read this thread and save themselves from a lot of anxiety after getting their phone wet by putting it in the washer, toilet, whatever. People are gonna get annoyed because I brought this thread back to attention but guess what. I DONT HAVE STOCK IN ANY RICE COMPANIES OR SILICA MANUFACTURERS. I have nothing to gain by bringing attention to the fact that this really works, and incredibly. Hope I help someone out there. And if you have crap to spew about me posting this. I DIDNT SQUEEZE YOUR HEAD, keep it in.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Bumping the thread once a month or so is fine, but once a week is excessive if you aren't adding any new information. Plus it gets mod's attention as spamming the board. This thread does have good information, but it would be best if you wouldn't bump it more than once a month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
*BUMP* READ POSTS 1-13 ONLY.

The information contained in those posts can be extremely helpful and informative. Any post after #13 is non important, and mostly an effort to bump up the thread so others can benefit from this knowledge.

Hi all! Sorry to be bumping a rather old thread, but this is the most relevant search result Google came up with. And reading through the entire thread, I think I gained a teacup of hope.

Long story short, I accidentally spilled 70 percent isopropyl alcohol on my Sony Ericsson LiveView. I didn't turn it on for many hours but white blotches slowly gathered on the screen, inside the screen actually. From what I understand, that white residue is the water? Well anyway, my situation seems to be a lot like OP's, so I'm gonna try the rice thing tomorrow.

So while waiting for tomorrow, do yoy guys think this is the solution to my problem? Please help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:
Well I can't speak for the Sony phones, but I have gotten 70% alcohol into my phone screen when cleaning it before, and I placed it on top of my warm crt monitor for two days. It was just fine after that. You might consider putting the rice in a black (for heat conversion) bag with the phone and sitting it in the sun. The warmth and rice should help if there was not some reaction with your lcd. If you don't seen *any* change in a day or so then I would say you are looking at damage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mulakshoo:
What about blotchy screen without alcohol ?

My LG G3 sustained rain water damage (yeah, the zerolemon armor case is sturdy, but it practically channels raindrops into your phones components through capillary forces) and I fixed it.

But the screen has a fancy water damage effect and I am wondering how to best remove it. I haven't dipped the screen in isopropyl as I think the polarizer foil might also take damage and get blurry, which would suck more than the current condition:

http://i57.tinypic.com/21alkar.jpg

http://i59.tinypic.com/zmzkf5.jpg

What should I do ? Go with the rice method ? Flood the screen in isoproyl, then go with the rice method ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rudeguy:
I'm bumping an old thread but there are so many posts in this thread that need correcting, I think its warranted.

First thing is you should never use 70% IPA on a phone. That's 30% water and water and phones do not play nice together. Spend $10 and get a bottle of 99% IPA off Amazon or Ebay. 99% IPA will evaporate nearly instantly without any type of heat source. This is what us pros use to try to flush out water damage. It usually doesn't work but its a good first step. Second is never put your phone in rice. Rice is food, not a repair tool. Water isn't what damages your phone. The corrosion that comes around as a result of the water is what damages phones. So drying a phone out using rice is only going to do more harm than good. If you want to try drying it out, open it up and douse it in 99% IPA. It will replace the water and evaporate. It won't get rid of the corrosion but it will stop the damage process.

The only way to fix water damage is a high quality, industrial ultrasonic cleaner, a microscope and a brush. Even then, water damage is rarely something you can fix.

Carry on gents.

[Q] Paradox with underclock & battery savings, does it actually hurt? SetCPU, etc.

In theory, using SetCPU or other underclocking app to reduce CPU clock should reduce the power draw from the CPU, therefore reducing battery consumption.

However, underclocking does not reduce the amount of work that needs to be done. That is to say, whatever app or kernel processing that needs to be done will still be done. When UC'ed, they will be done at a slower pace, therefore taking longer time. In some cases, the UI becomes sluggish, requiring more user interaction time as well.

If, at 1Ghz, a process takes 10 seconds to complete and requires 10mA per second. This task should consume 100mA. By underclocking to 500mHz, perhaps the CPU takes only 6mA, but the task will require 20 seconds to complete. Now the task actually takes 120mA (plus the longer screen on time).

Is my theory sound?

Also, does the constant scaling itself consume power?

As far as I know, Froyo is supposed to scale the CPU anyway. So why underclock? Does it actually work or does it hurt the battery life?

Input please!

Thanks.

Edit: I know the function of CPU speed vs. efficiency vs. battery drain is never linear, and each situation has a different break-even point, but I'm curious the general application of underclocking within the Android environement and its effect on battery life, and more specifically, the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
i'm a regular dude with a phone, but im educated...that being said im sure your aware of the diminishing marginal utitlity law. For example if me and you can mow a lawn in 2 hours, and we got one more guy, we can do it in in less than two...Bu you eventually reach a breakoff point where it is hurting you and those extra guy(s) are not needed and acutally slow down the process or are just a waste. Same thing here, although i am not sure of the numbers, im positive there is a sweet spot for underclock and if you go too low it actually is a waste or hurts battery life. It also could be in the middle meaning, im going to make up numbers. 1ghz uses 100 Mah in 10 seconds. 800 mhz used 50 mah. 900 uses 60 mah. Now, the difference ratio of battery usuage and spees would lean you towards using 900 because if you relate this to sales on products or even anything, for lack of better words this setting is the best abng for your buck...my 2 cents

Interesting stuff... Take a look at this thread:

[ROOT] Using SetCPU + Perflock Disabler to Save Battery, Underclock

The data seem to suggest that underclocking an Evo at idle yields real results. I would think that this can only work if there is not a lot of background/idle tasks going on?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
A microprocessor does not live by its clock alone. lol

It can cycle through a huge math operation, which is loaded into its registers lickity split with a fast clock. It will have to wait while the memory/code of the programs it runs are loaded either into its cache memory or into execution space. So in calculating theoretical energy use, you got to figure the bus speed, as well as the type of operations the processor is doing.

Golly, ( pronounced like a resident of Mayberry) the bus is key on loading programs to be run. What's the bus clock triggered off? That's the key. You don't want the bus to slow while slowing the cpu. If you can cycle the processor while it prefetches then you've got optimal use, providing it isn't thrashing.

Google cpu wait states for bus synchronization
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
This is basically the reason HAVS is supposed to be better than static scaling and underclocking. With HAVS, voltage is based on workload as well as clock speed, so you should get the benefits of running fast/idling more often combined with the benefits of using as low of a voltage as possible. As long as you don't have something pegging the CPU at 100% all the time in the background, it should, in theory, work better.

In practice, I haven't seen all that much of a difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
What you wrote makes sense and the concept is sound. I just wish we knew what that sweet spot is, although I think it changes constantly based on load, code, and operational requirements.

With the two posts above, it would seem like phone manufactures would do everything they can to optimize efficiency. Having SetCPU loaded for 24 hours, I too, can say that I have not seen a huge difference...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I have tried booting into recovery with clockworkmod and also stock recovery many times. I have disabled fastboot and each time I have tried I get the picture of the phone and the triangle.Once again I have fastboot turned off. I have searched the threads and tried what ever I found and nothing has worked. I am wanting to do a nanroid backup and I am getting more and more discouraged each time I try and it fails. I guess maybe its time to send it back as I have 4 more days left on buyers remorse. Thought I would try to solicit some help before making the decision to send it back. I have a Nexus One and a Vibrant and have never had this problem with either one of them. I have tried it with the Visionary temp root applied and with it off and does not make a difference. I have not applied the perma root yet. Any and all help is and will be greatly appreciated
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbiggss:
I had a similar issue. I would do the full permroot, then flash clockwork recovery through fastboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
Thanks so much for the swift reply. I am not sure if I am going to keep this phone so I am not wanting to permaroot at this time. Is there not a way to flash recovery without doing permaroot? i read where Paul Obrien states in his thread for permaroot that one should do nanroid backup before doing permaroot. This leaves me very confused. How in the world do you do that???lol It looks like the decison to send it back or keep it is being made for me. I have never called CS and asked for help to flash recovery as I feel that they would not respond favorably and want to know why I want to flash recovery, but that could be wrong also. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit:Just got off the phone with tech support and they state that recovery cannot be accessed as a safety feature. Not sure I believe them as he did not know what fast boot was or what a nanroid backup is. He said the little phone and the triangle with the exclamation is the bootloader screen and no other screen can be accessed after selecting recovery. Any and all help and info is GREATLY appreciated.!!!

If you follow it EXACTLY it should work out- you might have to try a few times- I did, he also includes the script to return it to S=on. The terminal emulator worked best for me

Once you get permroot you can get clockwork on there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
I don't understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to boot into CWM recovery or the stock recovery? The way I understand it is that once you flash CWM, it overwrites the stock recovery. And furthermore, if you're trying to make a nandroid, you will need to boot into CWM. If you need the stock recovery back, someone posted a link to reflash it back onto the phone.

Follow the above instructions on how to turn s-on. Itz actually easy. Jes download the files, type in 2 commands in terminal emulator, you are now perm rooted with s-off. That easy. If you want to unroot, go to visionary and click on unroot, simple and works like a charm

Yarboo for Android is now released. I'm afraid to say I've put a minimum charge on this but will see how it goes :( i hope you don't mind me promoting via XDA.

I originally developed ‘Yarboo’ for Windows Mobile and XDA users back in August 2009. My aim was to make a fast and touch friendly version of the classic dice game that I would enjoy playing. Since that original release it's been downloaded over 30,000 times and had great reviews and feedback.

The game is now available for Android and includes features such as…

>Accelerometer support for dice rolls.

>Redesigned Interface.

>Upgraded High Score screen.

>Built in Help.

Will be adding multiplayer in the near future.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] badboybiky:
i dont know whether i am dumb or normal person .but the way described in other post seems to very complicated thats why i did my own experiment and successed. so here is my simplest way to hack the market. if any problem just let me know.i worked for me so it should work in other mini/pro phone.

first hack your phone using superoneclick app which is the easy way to hack your phone

then download root explorer and install it

then please unistall the update and clear the cache of orginal market by going to settings -applications-manage application-market-uninstall.

then download hacked marked attached in post but just keep it in memory card.

now you need to open your root explorer and go to / or root drive

then go to system/app

then click mount r/w icon in top corner below the clock in screen to give permission for read and write

then move marketupdater.apk and vending.apk to your sdcard for backup

then just copy the cracked vending.apk from sd card to system/app and change permission to rw-r--r-- by clicking the file and selecting permission and ticking the rw of user r of group and r of other .r mean read,w mean write and x mean execute.

then just restart and check your market for cool apps.

enjoy guys

In my humble opinion there is an easier way:

make an account on appbrain.com

install "appbrain" from the market on your phone

install "fast web installer" from the market on your phone

make sure that fast web works.

Go to the appbrain site and search for apps and choice install. It installs every app.

No root hacking :)

did you replace the vending.apk or remove it first and paste the mod in app folder.it is important to remove the orginal one and paste the moded one and changing its property to 644 .or rw r r. and restart. i am 100% sure.that should work

Hi,

is there anybody who get the Optimus successful worked with a bluetooth gps mouse?

I tried it with an Holux M1000 and a Royaltek RBT-2001. In both cases the connection was done without a problem, but after a short time, mostly within one minute, the connection was broken. Then the only thing I could done was to restart the phone, because a reactivation of the bluetooth system was not possible. There are other people with a similar problem, I know, but nobody of them has our LG phone.

I've tested with the apps BluetoothGPSMouse, Bluetooth GPS Provider, Bluetooth GPS an BlueGPS. All with the same result. Also activating an disactivating the internal GPS or the wireless network before connecting with the mouse had no success. Changing the rom had also no effect. I've tested with the baltic 2.1 and the black 2.1.

Is there a chance to avoid the sale of my phone. This function is essential for me.

Thank you! I hope you understood my not-so-perfect english.;)
