...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.

LMAO! Did this a couple of weeks back with my sons iphone, spent 2 hours blowing all the water out via the headphone socket lol. That works better now than before, he reckons it cleaned the crap from out the speakers and now is louder than ever lol. Maybe we should start a new section on the weirdest things you've managed to do with you're phone

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.

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
Ok, this is not a joke, I've got a 1 week old galaxy note 4 with me. last night i was playing with it and i smell something
like a burning electrical cords. i was smelling left and right, laptop, tablet and my galaxy note 4.
unfortunately i was clueless where the smell coming from.
today, I was playing with my note 4 pulled out the s pen and i smell again the burning electrical cord.
I grabbed my s-pen and started spelling it and voila, there u go!!!
due to my curiosity, i also tried smelling the s-pen hole on my note 4 and that's where the smell comes from.
do u think its normal???

I know what your thinking, but sorry i must say your mind is so stress from watching those videos LOL!
I notice the same smell when I bring the pen close to the nose. But I think it's normal and the smell is barely noticeable.
Funny thread. I just took a whiff of my S Pen and it does smell pretty bad. Solution? Don't smell it.
Smells like new to me
Mine smells a bit like strawberries. :laugh:
I can't believe I did this but....
Reading your question I pulled out my note 4 and removed the spen. Jammed it against my nostril and took a deep wiff! I can say for sure I looked like an idiot but smeled some electronic scent
I don't think it's "burnt" smelling as its not really an acrid scent more like new electronics to me. Define try not hot either (sniffing phone at 65%)
I lol at me and not you buddy as I it's a valid concern just the idea of me sniffing my phone is silly to visualize. But i wanted to help so.... a summing your phone is like mine I think it's normal just keep an eye on it over heating and such.
My s -pen and my s-hole smell just fine, thx.
yep looking like and idiot i did the same, pulled out the pen ... smelling
hole doesn't have any odor.
the s-pen hole smells because its an..

As funny as it may sound I too smelled my S-Hole and S pen...The S-hole seems ok it is relatively odorless...but when I took my S-pen near my nostrils...JINKIES it smells like well..new to me....it is a bit weird smelling but in any case it is not "burnt smell" or how do you say it.

Hi guys! just want to ask this:
My scenario a while ago. I'm walking in the rain and navigate in google maps. (not heavy rain) and then the s5 lcd as a water drop on it. I noticed that when i pressed in the lcd and the response is rumble. any idea guys?
It is water resistant stopping water from getting inside the phone, but if rain hits the screen, it still causes problems just like you have touched the screen with your finger
I was trying to take photos in the rain and it was impossible because the rain acted like a touch on the screen and started pressing buttons, taking photos, changing settings

?? you know mate lcd and touchscreen replacement here in the Philippines cost is 7,000 to 8,000. I have a friend certified technician he told me i will regret using samsung because of the parts.
Expensive!
Well, in my family we have S2, S3, S4 and my S5, and none of them have ever needed any parts replacing, and all are still going strong
So hopefully you'll never need to replace anything either

And I'm generally always around a PC / Charger, so no need for extended battery yet either
