Yeah phone speakers aren't as sturdy as normal speakers. Compressed air is probably how you blew it. I did that on an old Moto I had trying to get saw dust out of the speaker grills.
Then again I used an actual air compressor from a foot or so away, not a can of air.

I got some moisture under the touchscreen and it doesn't work. Should i try to take it off to get it dried up? If yes, anyone know how to do it correctly?
Thanks.
Dissassemble it, and then place all the parts in DRY, uncooked rice. The rice will help absorb moisture

Someone who took their's apart said the screen (under the glass) had some sticky coating on it. So I would think rice would be a no go maybe compressed air.
Ahh ok. Hmm, I'd try putting it in an oven with the door open at a very low heat for awhile. I've heard from some people on a forum I used to visit that it works a charm.
Just bury it in Rice for 2 days. Don't take it apart.

I think he meant the phone itself.
silicon packets (like what you get inside of shoes and new hard drives, RAM DIMMs, etc.) are significantly better than rice. Rice gets dust everywhere
Silicon > rice

Do you know of any local places you can buy these? I know the people at bladeforums store their Carbon knives with these in them to keep rust away.
Thanks everyone.

Sure. Should i gently funnel it into the circuitry or build a sand castle for it and let it sit there for a few days?

Ive noticed you just have to be very clear for some users around here.
Not trying to be a douche...
But when you go ask for silicon they might look at you funny, what you are actually looking for is "silica" the deseccant..

lol, at 90% of PSP hacking forums, this was the highest recommended suggestion for getting water out. I didn't hear of anyone screwing it up by doing it.

Make sure you keep the door OPEN, and the temp LOW a toaster oven would be better, and set the rack as high as it can go. I'm guessing since the case on this phone feels so tacky it must have a low melting point.
Moisture just dried but screen still not working... could this be a software issue now?
i had this happen to me a few years ago when the psp first came out. but i had split alot of soda on mines. I just had put it by the fan and let it dry it over night. Came back in the morning and it was working great.But you can see water marks in the screen.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can go about cleaning the ear-piece grill? I see some flakes of string/hair, no sure what it is, or just string particles that is stuck there that I'm having difficulty removing. Should I go with the canned air route? Or do I risk blowing the stuff INSIDE the ear-piece and consequently, the phone?
Any ideas are welcome.
i use a lump of bluetack

Interesting. I'll give that a shot. Lawl. I just used tweezers and those seem to work as well, though it couldn't get the tiny non-string particles.
Cheers.
I've usually just been using qtips (lightly dampened, then dry), and just blowing into it with my mouth. I've avoided using canned air just because I'd be worried about damaging the speaker inside. That might not be a valid concern, but I haven't bothered finding out.

Be really CAREFUL!!!! with tweezers because they can chip and scratch off the black paint thats on mesh type grill
Ive had my g1 for about half a year now and have never noticed this before, but when its plugged into the wall charger, the little metal screen over the speaker becomes electrically charged and can shock my ear or whatever else i touch to it.
Is this a known issue or is this how my service providor controls my mind?
Instead of phone I would rather check your house electrical wiring for proper grounding
What metal screen...? There's no external metal on the g1 that I can see.

Do you have carpets or rugs? If this is the case, then YOU are getting yourself charged wrt the electrical NEUTRAL and then DISCHARGING through your phone!
THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR PHONE!!!! You could FRY it beyond ANY hope of repair. You are literally shocking the thing with HUNDREDS of volts of electrical potential!
I STRONGLY suggest that if something like this is happening, that you get yourself a GROUNDING PAD and DISCHARGE yourself before touching the phone!
Ok I'm curious if anybody knows if the Nexus 4 will fit in the Defender for the Galaxy Nexus . I just got my Nexus 4 in today and I want to put a full body case on it asap. I hate that we may have to wait until mid December for something similar.
uhh the buttons aren't in the same spot.. Nor is the speaker or Camera or headphone jack..
Obvious answer is obvious

I just want to know if it will fit and stay sealed. I work outdoors and I'm concerned about dust mostly.

You might be better throwing it in a MOFI pouch or some sort of felt bag TBH.
I wouldn't put it inside an Otterbox on account that the silicone will be rubbing up against the phone where it is tight, could scuff the rim pretty bad.

Thanks for the help. This would just be temporary until the correct ones come out.

Washing machine
I hold the phone with the grills facing down, and use a camera lens blower brush.
Soft bristled toothbrush and canned air.

I have some dried up chocolate milk there so there needs to be a little bit of friction to loosen the grime

LOL. Hold it upside down and use a tissue moistened with warm water.
