washing technique

I threw the phone in with a load of bed sheets.

Of course this wasn't done on purpose. It didn't get fully "washed" per se but only a bit wet. I'm not proud that I did this but what's done is done.

Lets pretend it had never been wet, is there anything that could cause it to stick at the att screen?

I was able to run the odin3 flash program without a hitch. Seems like the phone still is somehow able to work but just not get past the normal boot of the white w/blue text att screen. Any ideas???

If there are no possible fixes or all that's left are comments regarding my ignorance-- how would att know it has been wet. I know my ipod touch sat out in the rain for a bit and apple replaced it no questions asked since the earphone port thing showed no discoloration.

In the battery compartment there is a white square and on the battery another white square. are those the pieces that change color when wet? litmus paper i think? If so they are still white. Do these identify a "wet" phone?

The phone looks the same as it always has, no water behind the screen/camera lense or anything. I had a rubber case on it but the usb door was open.

How's my 1 year mysteriously broken phone warranty looking?

Those white parts would look red if wet ,is it red? I have tmobile for ,me if those parts are red I have to deal with my insurance, do u have insurance? Either then that u got to see wat att can do for u sorry I tried...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
you can't pretend the phone was never wet.

If you get a phone wet - you need to pull the battery and put the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out (maybe for 2 days). Since you have turned it on many times, and tried to flash it, you have created all kinds of short circuits across the circuit boards.

At this point your only recourse would be to strip the phone down and look for corrosion on the circuit boards and try to clean it, but most likely you have fried something.

Only AT&T can tell you what they will do when they inspect it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
My first color screen phone. A sony ericson. Got washed and dried, twice. It still worked. Too bad they don't make phones like they used to. But then again that phone was no where near as bad ass as this.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Are you sure you flashed it correctly? If you are at the ATT screen then you should be able to connect via adb and do an adb reboot download. Have odin one click running first. If it makes it to download mode click start. It should do everything it needs and reboot on its own in the OS.

If that fails you might have fried something.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jporter1000:
Try the rice

I dropped mine in the dog's water bowl on Thanksgiving. I retrieved it quickly and dried it out. It worked but had a few issues with force closing and auto-rotate not working. I removed the battery and SIM card and placed it in rice for 24 hours. It has worked fine since.

Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerpyatt:
Recovery mode from Downloading mode

I can get the odin one click to run and complete its task. the phone will then reboot and stick at the att world phone screen. Is it at all possible to get from the downloading screen to the recovery screen? I can do the two volume buttons and connect usb to get to downloading but i cannot get to the recovery screen.

i've looked around and tried to figure out how to do adb stuff but i'm not understanding. is adb something i can do while the phone is in the downloading mode?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
You can use adb while at the att screen but not download. Go to Dev section and check my thread Read Before Flashing, therre is some good adb info in it. You should be able adb reboot recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
put it in rice for a couple days, than try starting it. if not try replacing the water indicators and go back to att warranty center and say it wont turn on or something. i did that once with a blackberry bold and they replaced it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickh925:
I've been trying to solve this for some time without success. Due to the way Android merges contacts and my fetish for flashing new ROMs, I frequently find that I need to search my contacts by phone number or area code. Does anyone know if there is a way to search like this?

I need to do the research on the contact merging when I am back on the big screen. Last I saw was that everyone acknowledged that the merging was a problem with no solution other than something like Titanium backup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Dialer One supports this kind of search.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickh925:
I tried Dialer One and it doesn't really support what I want to do. I often find that I need to search for all contacts in a given area code or I only remember part of a phone number or I want to search by any other information stored in a person's contact (email, city, state,...).

It's just hard to believe that Google being the Android creator and such a power in search has such lousy contact search capabilities.

Any other suggestions?

[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
Does anyone have inside info on whether the G Tablet will be getting Android 3.0 (aka Honeycomb)? I've done a lot of searching but I can't find any screenshots of what it may look like.
[G Tablet General] popezaphod:
Considering Gingerbread isn't even out yet, I'm not surprised we haven't seen Honeycomb. But I bought this tab with the assumption that the hardware is bleeding edge enough that it will handle 3.0 just fine.

[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I think we are set up pretty well for Gingerbread and Honeycomb. Are the SDKs even avaiable for those yet?
[G Tablet General] ewitte:
The modding community will have software updates until Nvidia no longer supports Tegra 2. There will possibly be something within hours of it being available.
[G Tablet General] ryanmc2033:
Now that Honeycomb is out and the Motorola Xoom release is just around the corner I am hoping that the possibility of getting Honeycomb on the G Tablet has improved.

Does anyone know if this is being worked on?
[G Tablet General] gunkle:
Honeycomb isnt out yet.
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
One of the reasons I went with the GTab over the Archos was I felt there was a better possibilty of it getting Honeycomb, even if it doesn't, it still works great with Froyo.
[G Tablet General] teslabe:
I have both the Archos 101 and G tablet and I can tell you first hand that the G tablet is sooooo much better. Yes it's a bit larger and thicker and heavier but the build quality makes the Archos feel like junk. Mine is bowed with gaps in the middle of the screens frame and the screen is just horrible....... I've dealt with Archos crap for over 7 years and only stuck it out because of the DVR feature but now that that is gone I'm done with them and love my G tablet. looking forward to Honycomb.......
[G Tablet General] kbelzowski:
Has anyone started working on a Honeycomb for gTablet port?
[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
ohh, this will be fun to watch.:D
[G Tablet General] doctorde:
@kbelzowski: google decided to cancel honeycomb and instead focus on Ice Cream as the tablet OS for Android. Instead, we got icing on our gingerbread with a 2.3.3 update to GB for now. Long story short, no, we won't be getting Honeycomb on the Gtab... Likely late summer/fall for Ice Cream.

hey, ive been an iphone user for a while and unlock/jailbreak all the time.

now i sold my iphone and am buying an htc hd2 off craigslist in 2 hours. It's a tmobile hd2 and I really need to unlock it as I use SimpleMobile.

I've been reading around this unlock forum through the 5 pages and have read a lot about HD2 but nothing really aboutr unlocking it. well free that is..

I've read the websites that you pay like 20-40 dollars to get the unlock codes however thats not very appealing.

A person in my class told me that this website would provide me a way to acquire a free unlock code, however, i haven't been able to find a method.

My wife is on a tmobile family plan that hasn't expired yet and she's been using tmobile for about a year or more. apparently she can call and get the unlock code by saying she's traveling to the UK or something.

anyways, if anyone could help me out, i'd really appreciate it and would like to start learning the htc system so that i can help others out too.

for instance, i need help with unlocking the htc hd2 for tmobile and I'm not really sure what this ROM stuff is all about that i've been reading.

this kid in class said to bring him a usb or SD card and that he would put android on the system because it's better, so any advice there is greatly appreciated.

i went out on a limb and sold my iphone to buy this htc hd2, PLEASE HELP!

-sorry if i didn't read a stickie i was supposed to, i tried reading as much as possible first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriscardinal:
I have a rooted (rage) N1 that I loaded the G2 Launcher2.apk on to. Doing this caused the N1 to fail the update when it tried to apply FRG83D.

Stupidly, I decided that deleting the /system/app/launcher2.apk file was the right idea. And then rebooted.

Now the phone hangs on the boot animation. Attempting to apply with NO launcher2.apk results in the same error.

I have ADB installed, and I can adb shell into the phone and su. I have the old, original N1 launcher backed up on my SD card, but I can't figure out how to:

1) Mount the sdcard while ADB shell'd in from just the boot animation screen so that I can browse the card

2) Move the launcher2.apk backup file into the /system/app directory without getting a "Cross-device link" error when I use mv.

Can someone provide me with the exact commands to get the /sdcard/launcher2 backup/launcher2.apk file on to /system/app while ADB'd in only from the boot animation?

Thanks so much, I'm digging through the forums in the mean time, but it's tricky to track down exactly what to do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriscardinal:
I appear to have fixed everything. I wasn't able to access the SD card through ADB, but I *was* able to mount it using the:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

method.

From there, I copied my backup to my desktop, and I found I was able to ADB push to just the /data/local/tmp directory. Don't know if I could've gone anywhere else, but that worked.

From there, I was about to:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

to mount/make writable the /system/app directory,

and then:

cat /data/local/tmp/launcher2.apk > /system/app/launcher2.apk

So there's that. All to restore the Launcher to a version that would allow for a somewhat pointless update. Woo!

Before you remove anything from the /system/app folder make a copy of the entire folder and save it in a safe place. Just in case. ;)

I suggest buying Titanium Backup (pro key) so that you can use the freeze feature, this will keep the app from running or showing up in your app tray and can easily be reversed. Titanium BU Wiki

I spent a good amount of time getting rid of junk and found that it doesn't really give me back very much space.
[Flipside General] gaberoll:
yeah, i only freed up ~10mb after removing all the preinstalled stuff
[Flipside General] bakageta:
It won't free up much useful space, as the preinstalled apps are all in /system, not /data, but it will keep useless junk from running all the time. I found that switching to an alternative launcher and removing anything blur-related the phone felt much quicker.

Also, freeing up space in /system will give you room to move a few ringtones/alerts/alarms over there, so that they'll work even if your SD card is being accessed on the pc.
