Spilled a drink on my LE 10.1

Got a new guitar yesterday so we were sitting around outside testing it out. Had the tablet on a table next to a nearly-full can of Mountain Dew. When someone sat down, apparently the tablet was pushed into the can which knocked it over right on top of the tablet, spilling Dew all over it.
Wiped it off, and noticed it turned itself off. Wouldn't turn back on. Set it in front of a fan for a couple hours standing up, tried it again and it turned on, however there appears to be liquid between the LCD and the piece covering the screen.
Glad it still works, but hoping someone will have a disassembly guide soon so I can (gently) clean the internals...

I hope you're aware that the 3 main ingredients in Mountain Dew are sulfuric acid, urine & caffeine. That can do some nasty damage.

You're not suppose to turn a device on after getting wet. I put it on uncooked rice overnight to take the moisture out and then turn it on but glad to hear your tab still works.

I got my warranty through SquareTrade. They have an option to choose a higher plan which covers spills & screen damage. You have to purchase the warranty within 30 days of your purchase date. It was cheaper than the plan from BestBuy, & covers more. Doesn't cover theft though.

does square trade provide international warranties?
If not does any one know who does?

This wasn't purchased so I couldn't really get a warranty on it. It was a freebie from Google/Samsung at IO.
I know better than to turn it on when it's wet, but it was already on when it got liquid spilled on it, so didn't see how it could cause more damage trying to turn it on.

I did the same thing. Its 100$ for 2 years - it was 54.99 for the warranty and 45.00 for the spills and accidental damage. I think its a great deal especially that there is no deductible.

This works well, when all you are dealing with is water, or some other liquid that is not full of chemicals and sugars..
While the rice acts as a desiccant, it will draw out the moisture, but leave behind crystallized sugars and other sticky goodness.
Unfortunately, there is no good solution to cleaning out soda from things.. other then to do the best job you can, and live with whatever is left over.

Sorry to be a nag, but stupid is as stupid does. Just cuz u got it for free doesn't mean you should treat it as such.
Either way yahoo recently had an article testing the rice theory with 3 cellphones, only one of them ever turned back on so that is bunk.
I would be surprised if Ifixit.com hasn't done a teardown yet

Let it sit for a while.... I wonder what will happen when the tablet starts to get hot.

I'm neither stupid nor do I treat my electronics poorly, free or not.
I'm glad you've never had an accident, but pull your all-mighty head out your ass. Stuff happens. I'm have been a geek for a long, long time. Never have I spilled a drink on any of my electronics until last night. You can see I've been on these forums for quite a long time, way longer than Android has been around.
And yes, the rice thing is useless.

OP, go to squaretrade.com and purchase a warranty right now. If you search around, you can find some 10-30% off codes. But, you'll be covered for everything including spills and drops. Wait a month and send it in. I believe there is no deductible, too.
EDIT: After typing that, I just remembered yours is an IO. Call them up and see if they can offer you something. Their customer service is exceptional. I plan to get a warranty of the kal-el version of this when it releases.

HTC T-Bolt. Awesome phone, pathetic battery.

Square trade is awesome. They have, imo, the best warranty solutions anywhere. Dont ever buy store brand warranties as there are so many limitations.
The Square trade ones are not only cheaper, but cover more. I highly recommend it.

New silicone case for iconia a500

So I just received my silicone case for my a500. I actually like it way more then the first case which was the official acer made case. It doesn't have the stand capabilities as most others but its simple easy to get on and off and light. It also provides access to all ports but the sd card port. Bought it on amazon.com. through a dealer called sfplanet.com. I don't believe they have it on their main site but its on amazon for 5.99. Check it out if your looking for one.

Darn out of stock

I bought one. It's very cheap right now. It does fit pretty loosley and the material is thin. I don't think it'll provide much protection. I wish more people made silicone cases for the a500 because the leather folio type cases are not my type of thing and I don't want to carry around a bag.

I bought this cover myself. Fits great. The TPU material is awesome. I have a TPU case just like this for Nexus S. One time I went to the gas station and I was talking to someone and left my phone on the hood of my gar. I drove 2 miles to work got into the office and realized OMG I left the phone on my hood. I ran to my car and lo and behold, It was in the exact same place I left it on the hood. That material is super sticky and a phone saver

Hopefully this one works out for me. I hope to get it in the next few days.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110730435168
I wanted clear, but couldn't find a US seller. Now that I've said that, someone else will probably post a link.

Got the new case on Saturday. Fits great. Transluscent, so the Acer logo is seen through it. Cutouts in all the right spots, except the SD card cover of course. Good grip. Great fit around the bezel, doesn't look "stretched" like a couple others I've seen.

Dropped phone-Tale of woe.

I was the proud owner of a shiny brand-new Galaxy S3 as of 7 p.m. July 14. On my way to the mall just before 3 p.m. the next day to purchase a cover, it slipped out of my hand and hit the pavement. Damage to screen and bezel from a fall of only 2 1/2 feet. The back cover even popped off! I had watched the drop tests for this phone and knew that with this one there was no way I'd think about not getting a protective cover. It is definitely not as tough as the other previous Galaxy S models. But I never would have expected so much damage from such a short fall. Anyways, it is going to cost me 130.00 for the deductible through the insurance claim, plus the aggravation that is already starting. It was supposed to be easy-peasy. Instead of helping me in store (they kept saying they couldn't do that-access to my account purchases at their fingertips plus me there in person with ID!), I have to print out an affidavit along with proof of ID. I totally understand that, but why not just help me in store! You guessed it, I don't have my own printer (I've been meaning to rectify this) although I do have a scanner. Long story short, lack of a scanner means I lose 24 hours-can't do this until tomorrow. Then barring any further BS from T-Mob or Asurion, I'm told I get a new phone the next day. Too bad I'll be out of town by then, but, oh, well. That's what I get for not having a printer. Now for the real rant! Gorilla glass my a$$! If Samsung is going to make a phone with this slick plastic back and with a plastic bezel, they should just ship it with some cheap plastic protective cover so that you can make it out of the store and have time to shop for a cover to your own liking! Don't get me wrong, I love my new phone, however I'll really consider the build quality of the next phone I buy. I will especially pay attention to slick edges and plastic bezels.

This was after completing the first step of the onling claims process. Instead of an Asurion rep, the next page directed me to call T-Mobile customer care! Again, could have just done that at the store an hour earlier! Yeah, I know, they aren't really there to help, lol!

Did you know you posted on the wrong thread?? this is " T-Mobile Galaxy S III Android Development ". Mod; Please move the post or close the post. thanks!

Dang. The glass does feel INCREDIBLY thin compared my old Vibrant. I too gotta get a case. That bezel protection was the shizz.

Sucks man
I too have seen all the drop tests and this phone, whether it be the size of the screen or the plastic casing, doesn't hold up when dropped. I get my phone tomorrow but ordered a case last week with a lip so I'd have protection on day one

The guy at Car Toys brought out the ugliest case I'd ever seen, so I refused it. Went out the next day at my earliest convenience to buy a decent case. One block from home, disaster struck! Would have been cheaper to buy that case and throw it away the next day. It is costing me $130.00 in deductible fees for the replacement. Now I've read that some guy dropped his while in a case and it still broke.
EDIT: Thank you moderator, I'm so sorry for my mistake!

Simple solution: don't drop your phone. I didn't drop my HD2 in the whole year I had it.

I have to tell customers the same thing, we have nothing to do with Asurion, you can use my phone but I cant file anything for you unfortunately.
The only reason you have to jump through so many hoops with Asurion is because since you just got it, it hasnt registered on your account, so there is really not way for them to know if you actually own the phone unless you provide that affidavit and proof or purchase.............I broke my S3 after 2 days and even though i work for T-Mo and still had to go through the same thing

That's what I wanted from them, to use their phone. Also would've saved me time if I could have printed that form right in the store. I had everything I needed with me at the store: receipt, box with IMEI, my ID. I wasn't asking them to do it for me, just to call from there and confirm from their records that I purchased the phone. Anyway, a couple of calls today to Asurion got them to approve my claim a little faster, but not in time for the replacement to arrive before i leave for Seattle. So it's being shipped to where I will be there.

Mine broke within 6 hours of having it. I got it, late at night, fell asleep while texting, and when i woke up it was on the floor and the screen was cracked to hell. I silently weeped. I was suppose to get a case the next day.

We have no way of confiming your purchase unfortunately, they only accept a copy of the reciept or scan of the box

Iunno but to me, when I see the drop tests of the s3 90% of the time the drops are done by women. And it seems like 90% of the people who have been dropping their phones have been men c.c....men are generally stronger and taller than women so........iunno just my 2 cents

Did I receive an "open box" N7100....?

I just received my beautiful white N7100 and I purchased through Amazon Prime with Bluetekusa as the seller and I noticed that the box has NO seals on it like I have seen on almost every single unboxing and there was a fingerprint on the screen underneath the screen protector which is why I know that it has been opened... I did receive a US adapter inside the box but I think that they should be sealed and supply that as an external addition IMO... I am just really cautious when it comes to spending $700 on a phone that I have no idea where it came from and it has been opened...But, I am going to keep it and make sure it works correctly because I have been saving up for quite awhile and don't just wanna turn around and ship it right back.. Also, what kind of warranties are offered in the US for a phone like this (if any) cause I would like to be protected from at least mechanical failures... Thanks for any info or suggestions in advance!!

That sucks mate, of course it's always best get sealed box so that you surely know it is brandnew, but if there isn't any hairscratch and it's flawless phone then there's nothing to worry about.

His story:
vaud27 said:
hi. this is my first time posting on xda. i bought 2 galaxy note 2 from gray market(ghills) for me and for my sister. i checked the seals before opening the box. everything is fine and i bought the 2 note after checking it. when i got home i checked everything again and i see that my note 2 is already rooted. it has an app called supersu and i check the custom binary download and it says yes and the system status is also custom instead of official. i checked the other note but it is fine. i texted the owner of the shop where i bought the note and he told me that it is impossible for them to fake the seal of the box. he's also my 'suki' so i am confident in dealing with him. do you think they can fake the seal of the box and gave me a second hand unit? the unit is good as bnew in appearance. it has no dent or hairline scratches. the plastic in the back and in the front where also there when we open the box. even the charger, battery and the headset where still in the plastic just like the other note that i bought and everything is clean.

Ya I am probably over reacting but I am going to start testing it out in about an hour after the battery is fully charged and then I will know for sure if it's a keeper or not... I just have NEVER seen a box like mine on ANY unboxing video with no seals... Usually they have 3 seals... I purchased mine through Amazon Prime so I will have no problems returning it and getting a full refund if necessary... If I root this and install a custom recovery and rom can I get it back to factory state if I find it has problems within the first 30 days?? Cause that's what I had planned anyways and I did call Squaretrade and they said that they could not provide a warranty for my item... Kinda sucks! Any other options guys? Thanks!

Many times imported (read: grey market) phones are opened so they can put a charging adapter in the box. I know my NIB Galaxy Nexus from the beginning of this year (from expansys) had been opened. It was to put a charging adapter in the box.
But the fingerprints are strange and suggest it wasn't NIB. eBay aggressively sides with the buyer, so I'm not surprised you won the case.

no there is no reason to open the box to put the charger in. you put it in the shipping box like a normal person. not open up someones brandnew phone. 100% feedback not there to scam anyone. first time i even opened up a case on anyone. i got my money back and he got his used scratched phone back. i'm glad your fond of 700 dollar used products because i am sure as hell not. and his newly feedback shows other buys saying openbox now. so i'm not the only one
even if they were opened to put a "charger" in state this in the auction number one. and number 2 dont try to reseal the box.
oh and btw hows this for resealing? didnt even try to do a good job lmao look at the double seal. i took this to send to paypal

if the phone looks new and it had the sticker on the front of the screen, who cares if the box was opened.

if the phone looks new and it had the sticker on the front of the screen, who cares if the box was opened.
Everytime a new device comes out, peoples OCD levels goes up.

new phone to the market. i want it sealed. and now that you bring up the sticker, the one that goes on the back battery cover fell right off because of dirt. it has nothing to do with OCD. product used. scratches. why should we have to pay full price for it. if you bought a new car and before you got in it. the dealer put a scratch in it would you still take it? lol

i'm chill. just responding to what others post. you chill.

This is why you buy from a reputable seller (i.e. Newegg). As if "never-msrp" isn't shady enough. Lesson learned, right?
Anyway, glad you got your money back. Not into getting into an idiotic comment war with you. Have a good one and better luck next time.

Shattered screen-FYI

So I pretty much shattered the front glass as I was getting out of my car my phone swung under my leg in my pocket and as I exited my car I put my weight down on the phone and a spring in the car seat. I wanted to cry.... SOOOOO, I called Asurion they want a $175 deductible, so I thought I would investigate and see if one of these cell phone repair places can get it any cheaper..FAT CHANCE. First off I was warned that if I let them fix it they would damage the housing beyond repair and they wanted $329 for the screen.
tldr; get a case and screen protector for this brilliant phone

No thanks.

That's a shame. Having read about other experience with shattered screens and camera lenses I was a little worried. Then my son drove over his (on a dirt road but still...) He dented the case a little and got a slight scratch on the screen... that was it.... Maybe it depends on the angle of the impact as to if they break or not. He did NOT have any protective case around it making it even more bizarre... but I still believe in them.
Good luck with it.

HTC does screen repairs for 180 USD and it will come back as if the screen never broke.

I absolutely agree with OP. Get a good case for this phone. I've already broken digitizer in my phone because i forgot to buy a case.
Unfortunatelly anodized aluminum isn't grip friendly

Sorry for your loss , I bought the case below from Amazon UK for £6.99, and it is immensely tough, the part that covers the screen is padded and i can hardly bend it, it`s so strong.

I have the glamour red version so a case would make having this colour pointless. No case for me, just a good screen protector.

I refuse to get cases for HTC and iPhones since they have beautiful designs and are made of nice materials. Now, Samsung phones are a different story

I can understand that. I only let her play under my supervision and with my permission. And only locked to her kid games. Once she is somewhere else or grabs it without telling me its gone. I'm not lax about it because I'm making payments on it. I agree with you there.

i dont let them touch my phone because "its for work"
so i give them my "wifes phone" instead lol

I didn't say they don't play with electronics. I said they don't play with my phone. I paid nearly $600 and do not intend on needing to send it off for repair when the inevitable happens.
My boys have a shared line on my account and use it to call and text family regularly. They also play games, search the web, watch videos and what not on their Amaze, my wife's extra tablet or her One S. Hell, I even let them use my GS3 occasionally as it is mainly a work email device.
They have also broken a G2 and a Kindle Fire and put dings and scratches on every device I listed above.
I still stand by what I said. My One is not a toy. Hand me downs are one thing but I understand that the chance of an accident is much higher with children and I choose to mitigate any risk.
