[Q] Battery went through the wash

Just want some advice really, I always keep a spare battery in my pocket, and accidently put some jeans through the wash with the battery in it! Noticed half way through, dried it off and now have it sitting in a bag of rice. There was also some green funk on the positive terminal that I wiped off.
So after a day two once it is dry, would it be safe to test it in the phone, or would it be best just to chuck it? Obviously I'd like not to have to buy a new one, but if there is a risk of damaging the phone then I'll just buy another one. So what do you think?

if its dry test it out. how else are you going to find out if its messed up or not lol

If you have a multimeter I'd check the voltages first, just because it's easy.
It's always the best to be sure before you try it on your phone.

I would, but I'd like to know first if I could damage the phone before testing it out, as not worth risking the phone for the sake of a £15 battery.

That's a good idea, i know my flat mate has one, but he's away right now and don't really know how to use it, any suggestions on how it should be set up and what the expected output should be? It's one of the newer digital ones with the display up top and a large dial below. Thanks

There should be some settings on the meter. You want DC and auto if its an option else you want to set it low the output of the battery should be listed on the battery itself. It should be pretty low ie 1 - 4 volts maybe. Just a guess though

Is it worth it? There is bound to be some contaminants inside the battery now, and worst case scenario it's going to ruin your £400 phone when it shorts out/blows up/voltage spikes.
Just get rid of the battery to a recycling place it, and buy a new one. You'll be sorry otherwise.

Did that about a week ago. My backup/password manager Blackberry Pearl died but my spare G2 battery still works fine.
But like anything, results may very.
I had everything on that pearl lost a lot of passwords!!!
Goodluck.

Try to charge it if you have on of those dock type charger. I'd be more worried if it went through a full wash/dry cycle. Being submerged in warm soapy water OTOH is nothing to worry about. Its a sealed battery. However it did likely completely discharge itself, quickly. The fast discharge may have over heated it.
Do you wash your jeans cold, warm, or hot?

[I9001] Touchscreen/Heat problem.

Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas how to keep my phone cool in the summer?
Since the touchscreen works with heat, I can't use it in the summer.
In the manual i think it said it doesn't work above 35°C room temp., but in the summer it gets about 45°C in the shade.
It's only spring here, and it already makes touches that I didn't make, I use-to blow on the screen to keep it cool, but it doesn't work now.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Kind of the same here. Summer is about to begin, and my Galaxy S i9000 gets really hot - in the following places:
- just to the right of the Samsung logo in the top-right corner
- on the screen surface
- on the back where the battery is
and then if it gets too hot it automatically reboots, crashes and has a really bad lag.

Doesn't anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?? It getting very much hotter here.

try to cover the back of the phone in aluminium folie (i dont know the english wors but you know the silver thing from.the kitchen )

Um isn't that gunna keep the heat in?? 55°C SIM Card, isn't probibly the best idea....

When battery is discharging,the inner electric resistance becomes bigger/larger,especially when calling/playing music/gaming.But the current that the phone needed mustn't reduce,so a large amount of energy will be wasted and of course,the battery gets hot.
BTW,when the battery is under 60¡ãC,it's safe.
Regular data connection/high CPU occupancy rate/blablabla can make a device hot.
Maybe you can try to flash a stock rom and see the problem solved or not.
Sorry for my poor English.

My phone goes up to 55°C with no problems, just my fingers sweaty lol. Only happens when I'm charging, on the phone and using it at the same time though.

Thanks for the post guy's :laugh:, but the main problem really is: when the room temp. is hot, it causes the phones temp. to rise also, and then it doesn't register touches on the screen. This also happens when the phone is really hot [thanks for the tips, I'll turn data off, and not use while charging.]
I am seriously considering freezing my phone, to cool it off enough so that I can use it.

thats for sure mate.Room temp. went high,of course the device got hot,theres no doubt~
next,about unregistered touch,the touchscreen we are using (what's the name of it ??),the best temperature to use is between 0-35C,when it's >>(higher higher )than 35C(50C and so on )there will be some unregistered touches so dont worry if this 'tooooo high' temperature only lasts for a short period of time.But if the screen works in the highhighhigh temperature,it may cause damages.

[Q] Glass back shattered

Having just come off the phone to my Network, I'm worried about my choice of Nexus 4. My first one I have had less than a week and this morning the back glass went ping whilst it was sitting on the sofa doing nothing, the entire back just shattered all on its own.
The Network operator advised there are issues with leaving the phone on charge for long periods and the battery overheating causing the glass to shatter. I was offered an alternate phone, but I actually like the Nexus so am giving it another go. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
I'm used to charging my phone overnight whilst in bed as I don't feel this is excessive over charging????

This.. this is making me concerned for my phone.. I've never left it charging over night intentionally as it wears down battery health but I have forgotten with my other phones..

It's the heat, do you live in a child country, or keep the ac low? Since the glass is thick, the temperature gradient between the two sides causes expansion like in a bi metallic strip, causing it to bend, and eventually crack as strain goes beyond the critical point of elasticity. 11th grade physics

Long story short, don't subject the phone to a temperature gradient of more than 7-10 degrees Celsius, the glass will break, gorilla or no gorilla

No such thing as all modern phones/batteries have circuitry built in to prevent overcharging. The phone will tell the AC adapter to stop supplying power and as such it does. You can keep devices plugged in for days without any current reaching the battery. If your phone is still charging past 100% then that's a faulty AC adapter which should be replaced.
It's -20C outside now while inside being 20C so that's a 40 degree difference and I have no issues with my phone just cracking out of no where. Glass surely will crack under drastic temp changes but definitely not that easy, especially tempered glass on (like such on cars).

I can only go by what my Network told me, I was placed on hold whilst they contacted the Nexus Team whoever they are. When he came back he stated that I had left my phone charging for too long which would have likely caused the glass to fail.
Even I was shocked when I saw the shattered glass and thought they're going to think I dropped it. But then dropping the phone with the special glass shouldn't cause it to shatter, maybe a crack or two, but as per the picture this is an all over shatter.
Maybe I just had a one off duff phone, time will tell as I've ordered a replacement as I actually love the phone itself. Had a HTC for 2 years with not a scratch as I look after my things.

Maybe they thought it was funny and were winding me up then. I guess they just replace phones for no reason?
I'm pretty sure if there were no known faults they wouldn't just offer a free exchange or an alternate phone if they thought I'd smashed the thing myself.

Mine broke by being in my pocket just the other day. It's on it's way to LG right now for possible Warranty work.

Its not the glass affected by temperature changes, rather the metal components and frame that are. This "can" cause glass to crack.

Did your phone have any kind of skin or protector on the back?
I have heard stories of cracking from temp changes.
I have a front and back protector and have not had any trouble with mine going from zero degrees outside to 70 inside or vice versa.

Hmm I charge my phone during night since november and still perfect

Are you making this story up mate? I don`t believe a word of it and it sounds like troll language to me Damage like that seems to be caused by a fall (flat on it`s back) rather than a overheated battery imo. It would take a sudden 40-50 degrees Celsius increase and most probably the glas would melt rather than break. Breakage is caused by temperature differences between the inner and outer side off the glas. And you don`t have it fixed allthough they offered it too you?

Hi
It looks like a typical stress fracture of the glass.
I'm not convinced normal changes in temperature is the cause as otherwise we'd not be using glass for windows!
Charging overnight is perfectly safe and doesn't harm the battery. Lithium batteries explode if constantly charged so the charging circuitry is carefully designed to monitor the charge and stop it when the battery is full. There are also safe guards in place, which likely the red flashing LED issue is an indicator of a fail-safe being triggered.
Sometimes lithium batteries go wrong. The lithium batteries in the Nexus are not in a rigid metal can like most but a different technology that allows them to be in a soft foil packet, much like you might find food in. This means a fault can cause the battery to expand, this would deform the back, stressing the glass and breaking it. Typically with such a fault there will be heat, so 1st line support on hearing of customers finding a hot phone with a smashed back may be coming to the wrong conclusion that heat is the cause.
The only people that know the truth are LG who will find these phones winging their way back to them, and unless this is a huge problem where a recall is required, we will probably never know or be told of a confirmed cause of these "Unexplained Spontaneous Back Shattering" events or USBS, and there probably isn't one single cause anyway.
Regards
Phil

Why would I make it up? I asked the question if anyone else has had similar issues as when my replacement arrives on Tuesday, if it happens again, I would like to know if it is infact a common issue.
Had I have dropped the phone I would be asking if anyone knows how I could get it fixed. Why would anyone waste time posting a load of lies?
As it happens 3 Network have advised they are aware of over charging causing the back glass to break, although I don't see any warnings or advice over how long you should keep a phone on charge.
I fail to see how what I have stated has given you reason to think I am trolling. I am happy with the phone itself and feel it's worth another go as it's fast and to be honest is one of the best handsets I have had.

Now, this I can agree with. The reason I have given the phone a second chance is that I believe I had a duff phone. I was offered a different phone, but stuck with the Nexus as I actually love it so far.
When I contacted 3, they placed me on hold for a few minutes and came back to advise they had spoken to the Nexus Team, wether that be at 3 or Google, I have no idea. The conversation was almost accusing me of over charging, but being an average phone user I do not know what over charging is. I just plug the phone in and leave it as I always have with previous phones.
The phone itself was not in any pocket, but just sitting on the sofa when it shattered and I too find it hard to believe it just shattered by itself, but in all honesty it did! I have no reason to come on here and say otherwise.
Let's hope the replacement will give me many hours of use, I've ordered a 2 cases to ensure if I do drop it, I get some protection.

I have charged overnight every night since November with no ill effects. I've used various nexus and non-nexus chargers.
I've also never used a screen protector and have had no scratches. I have a 3 quid S tpu for the back and sides.

I've never not charged a phone all night. If I had to wake up at 1 or 2 in the morning to unplug this phone I would sell it today, that is ridiculous. I can't believe that LG or any company would think that this would be acceptable in 2013. Maybe back in the stone age but not today. With that being said, my phone is still in perfect condition with a protector on the front and back. The only thing that drives me crazy is the creakiness of the phone. I hope this crap gets straightened out.

[Q] Wet S4... won't turn on...

Riding the motorcycle home tonight I got drenched for about 6 miles... normally not an issue and never has affected my phone in my back pocket before... but for some reason tonight was different...
about a mile from my house my music stopped working and didn't think much of it... but when I pulled into the garage and found my s4 was a bit wetter than normal and would not turn on my concerns grew...
Currently have the entire thing apart.. batter... case... even sim and microSD card out... there was not a lot of visible moisture on the inside... but I did find a few drops on the SD card once removed. Also the phone will not indicate a charge by led or on-screen.
I'm letting it dry out as much and as long as I can... other than just waiting it out... any tips somebody can give me? anything phone specific that I could do to help it turn on? (power+vol up+home something?) and is there a wet indicator on the phone some place? above the SD slot there are 2 brass connectors and a bright pink dot in a hole above them... is that anything unusual?

The phone does have liquid detectors. If you tried to turn on the phone you probably fried it. If you didn't turn on the phone yet leave it in ziploc bag with rice for a few days.

Put it in a jar of dry white rice for 24hrs. It will absorb all the mosture .. one of my friends drop his g3 in tolit and he did that ...booted again...trip..

You beat me to it...damn...

If your daring enough you could try opening the phone and use 99% isopropyl alcohol (technicians alcohol) to clean the parts. Alcohol displaces the water so as you use a small brush (we call thrm acid brushes....not sure what the 'normal' world calls them) use a single ply tissue to absorb the water/alcohol.

Does anybody know where those liquid detectors are? are they visible with the back cover and batter out?
Thanks for all the quick responses... I will try the above and see how it goes... this is my primary way to be contacted and after just a few hours I already feel cut off... its also how I make my money (being on call.... work can't call... I can't make money!) so I'm looking at resurrecting old phones... but I was hoping for a quicker solution... but I'd rather take my time and save my phone... I was hoping the battery went dead... was yelling at me earlier... but obviously not the case.

There is no quick solution. Keep it in the bag of rice as suggested, and leave it for at least 24 hours and I would even say try to go well beyond that for as long as you can hold out. Gotta make sure as much moisture as possible gets sucked out before trying to turn her over.

I had a coworker do this.
put it in a bag with the moisture absorbers, silica gel, he left like over night in a zip lock and in the morning it started working again.

I would do the bag of rice or moisture absorbers as others mentioned. The worst thing you can do when a phone gets wet is plug it in or try to turn it on. It seems you tried both. Hope for the best. Next time, if ever there is one, if you see your phone is wet, quickly dry it up and take it apart as much as you can. Kill any power going to it (ie. remove the battery immediately). Then place it in a bag with rice or other moisture absorbers. I would leave it a day or two. Make sure it's fully dry. If you are brave, take a torx bit to it and open it up. Make sure everything is dry inside. Put it back together once it's dry and try to power it on. Most cases this will work. I hope it works for you. Sadly it's on the heels of the leaked image of the waterproof S4.

Could also go to a local AT&T store and have them swap you to a full-sized SIM for a few days, if they're willing to work with you. Some reseller stores (non-corporate) may charge a nominal fee for the card. Keep in mind that once they deactivate a SIM card, it's toast.
But as the others have said, electricity to a wet device is typically fatal, so keep the battery and charger out as long as you can. As for the red/pink indicator: your warranty is now void. I've heard of ways to "bleach" the indicator, but I'd imagine that might be against XDA rules to even speak about. Also, check out some of the disassembly vids out there, they may be helpful in getting the water out or finding more indicators. *shrug*

See that pink dot? That means the phone got wet... it should be white.
Trust me, I know. I dunked a brand new 32gb S4 into the pool on the day it was released and had to buy a brand new one at full price later the same day. Most expensive upgrade ever.

That "trick" is pretty well known by the manufacturers. It may get by people at the store but the phone sent back to Samsung can be checked with Orthotolidine and show evidence of chlorine from residual sodium hypochlorite it will be billed to the original customer. Since it's obvious fraud further (legal) action may be taken so be warned before trying these "tricks".

according to the tmobile site, there should be a sticker somewhere in the back of the phone, and red/pink means water, white means normal

Actually, not a LOL at all (well maybe a chuckle), but it is a well known practice to avid motorcyclists to keep a few Ziploc baggies with them for such uses. I use to ride with a regular Garmin GPS mounted on my bars (before Smart phone days) and a Ziploc baggy saved it many times...and still let me use it at the same time. They save wallets, phones, and anything electronic small enough to fit in them.

Im super bummed. I dropped mine in the toilet about 6 hours ago. I was half asleep so all I did was put it in rice. I started googling and saw to turn it off an take the battery out. I just tried to turn it on and all it does is pulsate. I have a bad feeling I ruined my phone......and no insurance

It should be fine, and so far so good for me! You might be unable to charge for a little bit though, if the phone detects that the usb port is wet it'll stop charging. So do it on a full charge!

I can not tell how high pressure can be but the water coming from the sink is ok. Takes more time tho.
It would be best to use a hand shower and one of the streams but I am afraid that the water will leak into the device .
If someone is brave enough or have a test model in home he might test it :good:
