Hello everyone
Well, I've had my Galaxy for about six weeks now & I'm deeply madly in love with it, best phone I've ever had.
Yesterday I was playing some games on it with my friends, GPS, WiFi maybe Bluetooth were on, it was charging as well, then phone started overheating, it got hot, like very very hot, but we didn't stop, minutes after that -believe it or not- it started melting down, it was even possible to reshape it with my hands, I then turned it off and unplugged the battery.
Scary ha?? I can swear to you guys, this is the worst nightmare I've had in months, yep, it was a dream a bad one.
Sorry to scare you guys, but, c'mon, I mean Melting Down!!! Anyway, when I woke up, I was so happy that I kissed my Galaxy

Once my captivate was sitting in a black sweater in the sun while it was 110F degrees and it became too hot to touch. No surprise there though.
Lol nice story... Freaked me out at first though...
Same here
Hahahaha nice one
Mine fell or something, can't remember exactly what happened.
At first there was just a small crack. No biggie and I didn't really worry about it.
But the next time I looked the crack had grown to a bullet hole. I could look through the hole. Now I was really worried! Would the guarantee cover this?
Indeed one of those dreams when your happy to wake up.

FREAKIN BULLET HOLE!!!!! this is so awesomely awesome but I can't follow u, is it dream?? or did it really happen
it would be a good story too, just tell everybody that some assassin tried to snipe u, and ur beloved SGS jumped and took a bullet for you, touching ha?
this story is not far from truth
did you guys see the previous 2 topics about this issue?
one was made by me, then just the last 5 days there was another one
this phone does gets really really HOT when used at max speed with or without the charger, it gets hotter if you keep it charging.
Did you played with SetCPU?
Having nightmares about an OC fail into 4Ghz, c'mon, .. it's a phone for crying out loud!
Not a bad dream ....just a bad experience ! Meltdown!!!
for no obvious reason my completely STOCK razr hd melted down while i was showing someone how one would boot into recovery even though mine had no recovery i got the android exclamation then powered down from there once powered down it began to heat up drastically to the point of me watching the inside of the audio jack melt then me not being able to even hold it.obviously the phone is ruined and i feel pretty discouraged considering i had only had the phone about 3 months does anyone have any idea why this wouldve happened ? also does anyone have any old android they would want to trade for a melted down razr hd cause i need a phone maybe a 1st generation atrix or something similiar seeing as how i also have the lapdock ..thx in advance..jsn

...it's still working!
I think it's the luckiest HD in the world.
It was in it's stock pouch and was scooped out within seconds. The battery quickly taken off and with the back off, card out, etc put straight into the airing cupboard (the little cupboard where the hot water tank is). This all happened at about 8am this morning. Got a call from the girlfriend at about 4pm this afternoon telling me she'd put it back together and it was cool. Wasn't too happy she'd done that, was gonna give it at least 48 hours but it's working. Seems to have dried out perfectly. Nothing under the screen, everything work fine.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
I think it was the pouch that saved it, probably soaked up the water before it got to the device.
Thanks for sharing this. I use mine every morning in there too but it's not happened to me yet. I will be extra careful from now on maybe take the pouch with me

It was actually the process of puting my HD back in the pouch that made me drop it but thank god it made it back in just in time. I know what you mean though, every morning while dropping a bomb i'm checking my mail and seeing what the M1 is like before deciding on my route to work!
no kidding...you are luckier than sh#t!
If it plays up, wash it in distilled water and then dry it for 48 hours.

Take care a close friend of mine dropped the EEPC in the toilet. He was smoking, some ash fall down on the legs, he opened them to avoid burn and the little toy from asus made a dive. All this happened before flushing the toilet, so before he got it to the service center he had also to clean it and parfume it.
A way to avoid this happening would be not to play with "toys" in the bathroom!!
From the last few posts i can say : none of the WM devices stink, even those which have been in toilet!!!!!!!
and gues im not looking for a new pouch -- keeping the original one!!!!
Boy oh boy that is damn funny, my old man did it many yrs ago when the first StarTac came out.
He came around the hallway swearing, googley eyed looking left and right and stated, "that was the most expensive s..t I ever had!"
He had stood up and flushed and at the exact same time the phone had popped off his belt and disappeared.
Incidentally he did get it back, it stuck to tree roots further down the drain, mind you it never worked again. heh heh.

lucky for me it was in a clean toilet in my home
anyways
void sticker didnt even get touched
immediately ripped out the battery
let it sit in paper towels for a bit
and then put it in a warm place near a heater just not very close
two hours later i dared to turn it on and im totally safe ^_^
its been a few days now with no problems at all!
you should put it in a bowl of dry rice just in case
does it feel nice to the face? haha glad it survived. Sure way to know if you have the peeling screen issue. Seems like yours is sealed 100000% no dust for you!

I dropped my Treo 600 in a freakin lake about 2 months after getting it. I dove in and got it, threw it in the boat and it was dead, dead, dead. Took it home and it sat on the counter the remainder of my vacation. At first you could see the unit exhibiting small signs of life and eventually it came back and worked 100%. Sometimes miracles happen
lol funny thread

Wow, I'm surprised your Nexus One still works dude.. guess HTC's testing process did do some good. Or, you just got extremely lucky somehow.
On an off-topic side note, did anyone notice in the video where the Nexus One fell, the screen did not crack? I assume this was an almost final version of the product? Why though, does when people drop their phones on the concrete it still breaks? If HTC went through this rigorous testing process, why are phones breaking so easily?.. Of course glass breaks easily, but did the material they dropped the phone on was not as dense or hard enough as concrete? Or was it simply the multiple angles they tried..

In the video it looks like the phones are dropped from what appears to be rather less than hand-holding height, onto a surface that appears to be slightly rubbery. Concrete tends to be rather unforgiving no matter what you drop on it.
In December, I dropped my HTC Magic into a kid's swimming pool, left it to dry for one day and it's still in great working condition today =)
Did this exact same thing to my old Nokia 8190 back in the day, and the bowl wasn't "fresh". Phone came out fine other than the battery life dropped to 6-8 hours of standby, ended up carrying a spare in my wallet.
Oh lol, nice reaction tho..

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could give me some advice:
I was watching some Jersey Shore reruns on my G2 and my phone started to get really hot so I ran some cold water over it from the sink. Now it won't even turn on or anything. Is it possible that the CPU fried from overheating? Please help!
Did it ever cross your mind that water and electronics don't mix?
EDIT: Actually, I thought it over... why don't you tape a sponge to it?

Take your phone apart (battery cover, battery, phone body) and stick the pieces into a small container of UNCOOKED rice. Let it sit overnight.
Try to power it back on tomorrow.
It is unlikely that you overheated it to the point that it fried the CPU, but the water damage is much more likely a culprit of it not turning on.
Were you overclocked or were you having a Jersey Shore marathon? I have watched entire movies on my DZ while clocked at 1.2 and didn't have heat issues.
This phone was not damaged by overheating or water damage. It was damaged by the Situation!
Drumroll......
Crickets.....
Snookie fuct up your phone.
trawls gon trawl.
Well there's your problem right there
You watched Jersey Shore. This proves my theory that nothing good can come from watching those tards
Try running some heat over the cold sink water that you poured on your G2.

If you seriously did what you said you did.................................well, I am stunned & you have 689 posts on this forum.
However, the uncooked rice suggestion is the best solution but I would not be in a hurry to turn it on for a few days. 2-3 days at least.
the g2 is allergic to water, but that rice may help

Where the hell is the laughing smiley when you need it. If this isn't a joke then there is no way I can remotely try to be nice and give a suggestion. It's like saying my tv was dusty so I gave it a shower.
3-18-11 edit: So I took a day to think about it and I'm came up with the best solution. Get some rubbing alcohol (90% not the crap 70% stuff) and put your phone in it, battery too just in case it's waterlogged also. Let it soak completely through for 2 hours and it will suck out the water. Not you need to evaporate it very quickly so preheat your oven to 550 F. Put your phone in there for 45 minutes and you should be good to go my friend.

With 600+ posts you would think they knew that when the phone overheats you put it in the washer machine on a double cycle set on cold. So I am not surprised to hear the phone does not work now...Dumbass.

True but the rain would interupt with the capacitive screen making it nearly impossible to use in the rain anyway.
But this does look promising. Hope it starts rolling out on devices this year!

To be honest I haven't noticed that, but considering the fear of getting the bloody thing wet im not surprised.
Not dying in the wet it half way towards usable in the wet at least
(and considering when we get rain over here, we really get rain, bloody hell!)
(Also that's a stupidly good movie, gotta love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)
My girlfriend became so frustrated at here evos problems that she gave a swim in the toilet and flushed it a few times. Took the SD card and battery out for quite a long time and well...imposting from it right now! It had water under the screen and was stuck vibrating.
The biggest issue this phone had was it was failing to write to the SD card properly so you couldn't take pictures. It would say it saved but then kick the SD card onto read only.
She has an Evo 3d. I have one too since my lcd broke....hboot 1.4 on mine but hers is 1.5
Anyone else have miraculous stories?

I was talking to my wife and we were both on our Evos. All of a sudden I could barely hear anything but weird faint sounds. She dropped hers in the dog water bowl.
Rescued it, removed batter and riced it.
Zero problems. Maybe some oxidation in the usb port that eventually went away.
My friend and I were snowboarding at Breck. He lost his phone in the woods. Two weeks later his mom called him. Someone had found his phone after a few warm days, turned it in to lost and found and Breck was able to power it up and get his mom's phone number. The phone had gone through temps of -2 F and 35 F for 14 days, buried in snow.
This is why I will buy another HTC.

Lmao has nothing to do with paying for it. Mine broke as an honest accident but hers was having so many issues I was close to smashing it myself. The USB port was garbage then the issue with the SD card was just the final straw for me. She just happened to kill it before I claimed it as lost to give her an evo3d. I would have given her another evo but for 100 I felt like I would've been ripping myself off when I can get the 3d
