What methods or materials do you use to keep your nexus clean? I've had mine for 4 or 5 months now and it not that dirty, Im just curious as to how and what to use to clean it. For the trackball, I have herd to take a cotton swap and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Then to gently rub the trackball and dry it with a lint free screen cloth. As for the device, I know their are manufactured cleaning liquids specifically for devices that supposedly clean the screen and phone from finger prints and smudges. So out of curiosity, what do you do/use to keep your Nexus One clean?
I will usually just take a regular towel (not microfiber) slightly dampened and wipe down the phone and battery compartment, as well as the battery itself and inside of the battery cover. Then, with the power still off, roll the trackball around the dampened surface for a minute or two.
I had not done the trackball in a few months, and it had been very resistant to rolling under my thumb, so I did the alcohol thing with a towel - again, not microfiber, and again, just slightly dampened with alcohol. Rolled it around for about 5 minutes, then followed the same procedure with a water dampened towel for another 10 minutes or so. My trackball is slightly lighter in color than it was, but it definitely rolls a LOT smoother. Well worth the time I spent. I am going to try the trackball cleaning method again in a few days to see if I can get it to roll again like it was new...
Oh - for regular cleaning of finger smudges - I fog up the screen with my breath and wipe on my pant leg. Works every time...
Damp cloth, wet wipes, pretty much anything i have to hand
I only use water, that's all you need to yet some towels or something. Don't use anything other than water.
Good tips.

Interesting, so water alone is enough to clean the phone xD. But what about the trackball? Does it turn to the normal white color when cleaning with water?
I went ahead with a micro fiber cloth and alcohol. I must say. I do not recommend this. Now my trackball is much darker.
I wish I washed it with water. I was no nervious after it was dark that I tried water, saliva, dry cloths to try to turn it bright again.

Well yeah, anything else is a risk in my mind. Maybe if you could take the track ball out of the phone you could try something else. But look at the post above!
i use a very mild water + soap solution. probably 2% hand soap + 98% filtered water (approx). Point is, very very mild solution. I put it in a small spray bottle, shook it up to get it well mixed, then waited for the bubbles to go away (takes a couple hours). I then spray the solution on a microfiber cloth, only one or two squirts on fine mist, and gently wipe everything down, immediately using another microfiber cloth to dry the phone.
I've used those alcohol based screen wipes with success.

I got a G1 and got it wet now it works fine till the screen goes in timeout it dont want to came back it normally happens doring a call i already have the phone on never to time out i downgrade to rc29 then rc30 then rc33 and back to rc30 with no result same old problem after the screen finally cames back I get a notification telling me to close the program it was running before.any help will be appreciated.
Dude, take the battery out and put a fan or something on it to let it dry. The more you use it the more you risk a short. It sounds like your phone might be OK, but let it dry overnight at least.
Good Luck!
I've done that to 2 phones in the past. The deal is the phone may work for a couple of days and die out for no apparent reason. The more you use it the worse it with get. To dry out properly means putting it in a windowsill for 2 weeks to insure complete drying with the battery and sim card removed. But corrosion and rust can still take place and your phone will never be the same. BUT... you can save it with 90% success rate if wanna take it apart. It's risky but with the right tools it can be done by anyone. What you need is a G1 manual from HTC here (here ya go... www.mikechannon.net and a torx screwdriver. Take it apart following the pdf disassembly guide and dry out what you can with a dry rag and then clean it out with isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush (just dip the brush in the rubbing alcohol lightly). Just be care with disassembly and all the ribbon wires (they break and tear easily). And if the screen has condensation, I would consider taking it apart also (that part was somewhat difficult and yes I have done it for fun, lol!) Good luck!

taking it apart is an excellent idea. i did that when i dropped my sony erricson K750i in the bath (lol ><), left the pieces on a radiator on low heat for about 3 days and it worked fine.
thank you for the responces but.....
i did let it dry for about 3 weeks i was hoping it could be software related since it gives me those application closure pop ups. otherwise it works fine i might just go back to my trustworthy dash.
Have you done a factory reset? If not try that and see if the problem goes away.
let it dry, once its dry get a replacement
just make sure you say you have no idea how it stopped working, if you say it got wet they will probably charge you for it
Well, if you open up the back, there's a little dot there beneath the battery. That's there so that T-Mobile can tell if you got your phone wet. If they find out that you did, they will bill you for the new one.
The best thing to do would be to try using a teeny tiny bit isopropyl alcohol on the dot to see if it changes back. If not, you should take it apart and swab most of the nonelectric pieces.
i've done this to a few phones but i can usually have them up and running in less than an hour and they work perfectly, what i do is take the phone apart to every component, completely submerge each piece in ethenol, isopropal alcohol works too but i can get ethanol for free, the alcohol is highly volatile and will actually absorb water and evaporate with it, after taking the pieces of the phone out of the alcohol i scub it with a toothbrush for 5 or so minutes making sure that each part of that piece has been scrubbed from every angle, then i place the parts of my phone on a dry microfiber cloth and move to the next piece. when i have dipped and scrubbed all pieces i run them under a hair dryer on high for ten to fifteen minutes and put the phone back together. all my phones still work and one took an hour long bath in a lake, i had to go snorkeling to find it and thought it was a lost cause, the only reason i bothered to fix that one was to win a $100 bet that i could.
Keep the phone together
get a plastic freezer bag and fill it with dry, uncooked rice
place your phone in with the rice and make sure the phone gets submerged under the rice.
Let it sit for 24 hours.
I've seen this fix phones that had dr pepper spilled on them, dropped in toilets, even washed.
And hell its easy.
In the summer I've rescued a phone by putting it on top of an air conditioner vent to dry out. The key is you want to bathe it in VERY DRY air - you want to dry it quickly. You don't want too much heat - but you need it to be very dry.
The isopropanol suggestion is probably good, although I'd be a little concerned that it might damage some of the plastics. You're basically washing off the water with another solvent, and that other solvent will dry off much more quickly. Isopropanol and ethanol are relatively easy on most plastics - I'd avoid anything like acetone as that is more likely to fog your screen/etc. Solvents that aren't miscible with water (ether, toluene, etc) won't work.
Oh, and those solvents need to be fairly concentrated. Many household solvents are more water than anything else - you're not going to get as effective drying if you're using something like 30% ethanol (it is still 70% water).
Above all, take out the battery IMMEDIATELY after getting it wet. Once the battery is gone your only real concern is rust, and that takes a while to build up.
Oh, if you get it wet with salt water you might want to wash it out with clean water first (again, remove battery first). You don't want salt deposits left behind. Do that before rinsing with a solvent - the solvent isn't going to effectively remove salt (depending on the solvent).
With proper care (and assuming no serious shorts already happened) there is no reason you can't dry out a phone. Half of those components were probably washed with water during manufacture anyway. As long as you get rid of contaminants like salt, prevent rust, and make sure there is no residual water when power is applied you will probably be ok.
Regarding putting the phone in to the bag of dry, uncooked rice.....
Did you leave the back on the phone, or did you remove it to get better absorption?
Regarding drying out the phone in a bag of dry, uncooked rice....
Did you take the back cover off the phone to get better absorption, or did you leave it on?
Homer says "Doh!"
Well I washed my G1 in the laundry last night for 10 minutes before I realized where it was. (Thank you Thank you for the <insert stupid group here> nomination...)
I removed it from the laundry, removed the battery, soaked up all the water I could with paper towels, put the vacuum cleaner on it for several hours (moving from hole to hole to try to pull all the water out).
It booted this morning, but there was a fine film in the display and I had the same problem as the thread creator turning the screen on after it timed out.
So at work I put it in a vacuum chamber for several hours today.
Now the screen and rest of the phone looks perfect, all radios, touch, gyro and other hardware widgets work fine and all software seems fine.
But, I still have to hit power several times to get the screen to turn on without it either turning itself back off or it washing out to some random color (red or green or blue or white).
I think it is actually turning on quicker now, so maybe it will completely recover. Fingers crossed. Once on it seems to work fine.
WET PHONE - my two pence worth
WET PHONE - CLEAN WATER is the best hope you got (not going down the toilet route!!) :-
(( NO HEAT, unless really good air flow!! ))
1 - hold vertically upright, give fluid chance to run out ((pref opposite from where it came in!!))- WHILST - removing MAIN battery ASAP
(even the internal one - if you know how,) and can do it quick (can 'O' air!), aswell as, remove the covers <<Disassemble IF YOU CAN>>
((( NO HEAT, unless really good air flow!! ))
2 - centrifugal force ! <swing in one arm, around afew times> forcing fluid out wards (BETWEEN BOARDS!'"
"give fluid chance to run out ((pref opposite from where it came in!!))",
say 2 times with top outermost, then say four times with the bottom outermost -
arm outstreached fully infront of you, and go FAST "like winding a 6 foot wheel" think of ball on record player.
3 - small tin of "silica gel satchets", get them in lots of packaging <keep them or (or DRIED pasta, rice, peas)> mines in
attic next to entrance hatch, Tape box shut to keep agroscopic properties until needed, during, and after using!!!!!!!!!!!!
never personally had to do anything else **most times skipped 2**- maybe rest may help you !!!
a - compressed air (can / keyboard cleaner 'AIR') < never had a compressor / gone to the garage > - blow the EXCESS fluids out -
<<BEWARE screen, speakers, mics, DON'T LIKE THIS>> but under S.M.IC's, "connectors" (ribbon/wire) and (brown/see through) ones only (not the tri coloured foam stuff 4 LCD's!!!
b - internal battery maybe still powering things, while still wet=(short circuiting parts/portions of parts) starting the corrosion
c - if you try to use it before completely dried, will probably cause, either/both of:-
<"corrosion" of (circuit board) or (full/part -component) which is RUST!!> This will extentivly shorten the life of, and WILL eventually kill it
<instant failure of some components> due to short circuit, ( HOW MANY <replaceable> FUSES ARE IN YOUR PHONE ? ) -

i dont have rice in my house atm (no idea why), will lentils work?
Hello,
I recently did one of the stupidist things ever-my tilt was water damaged. It was a whole 3 to 5 minutes before I figured it out. As soon as I realized it I hopped out, removed the battery, SIM, SD card, and wrapped it in a towel.
When I got home I did some breif reading on the ATT forums, some people said that you should completely dissasemble it. After taking out some Torx screws and having no idea how to take it apart, I saw some little "tamper strings" under the cover above the battery and decided to leave it alone.
This was in a residential pool with light chlorine. I read that if you get salt water in it, you should rinse it with distilled water, but I'm not sure if I should do that now?
It's been about 24 hours since it happened. It is currently sitting in a plastic bag with several silica gel packets. Luckily I can't see any water behind the screen.
The most interesting thing is that the little moisture indicator hasn't really changed. When I got it (refurbished from ATT) it was white with a tiny hint of pink at the very top. It doesn't look any different now. But I could see how a very grumpy ATT employee could mark it as water damaged.
How long should I wait before trying it out again? Should I discard the existing battery and buy a new one? Any other advice?
I would really appreciate your help. I know that there is info out there but I didn't see any that specifically dealt with chlorine and also I was wondering what you all thought about the water sensor.
Thanks, have a great day.
I don't pretend to be an expert, but I would not allow it to "air dry" because of minerals and rust setting up. I would use compressed air to force the moisture out, followed by a blow dryer to clear up any residual moisture. I'd then let it sit in a nice sunny window for a while, just in case. Never dealt with it in a phone, but this is the method I've used for other electronics, including a Nintendo DS. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. I think it really depends on the initial short.
Thanks for your response. It's not drying in open air, it is drying inside a small ziploc sandwich bag along with a three silica gel packets. Are you suggesting that I take it apart and then blow it out with the compressed air? Seeing as my water sensor hasn't really changed much color I'm hoping there's a sliver of a chance I might get a help at an AT&T store.
How long do you think I should wait before giving it a try? Do you think the battery I have is safe to use?
You are on the right track:
http://www.foxnews.com/video/index....t=3475797&referralPlaylistId=search|cellphone
Well sadly after 4 days drying out in the silica gell, I put the battery in and right away the LEDs at the top were flickering on and off-blue, white, green, etc. Then, I pushed the power button. The vibrator buzzed lethargically but nothing came onscreen.
Now when I plut it in I get the dreaded "red light."
I tried to start opening it up, but I couldn't even get that cover above the battery off. I don't want to damage the plastic even though it's out of warranty.
Any suggestions on places to get repair? If it would be under $100-120 it would probably be worth it to me to get it fixed.
you do not need to take it apart, dip in rubbing alcohol (prefereably a high percentage) then let sit for a while, depending on the amount of water you will need to soak or longer or several times. using a toothbrush after soaking can help.
No -- don't soak it in anything -- you'll get fluid inside the touchscreen.
Better to let it dry then try it -- and if it still doesn't work properly take it apart and clean each piece.
Check out www.ppctechs.com they did excellent work on both of my Tilts.
Wow they are expensive! $60 just to diagnose probably not going to be worth it. Anyway, I think I'll just wait another 3-4 days and then try it again. I'm a little wary about taking it apart cuz I can't seem to get the hang of it, but my warranty is over anyway so what's to lose?
@noodles21o2, do you mean to take it apart before soaking and brush the inside?
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
no, just dip the thing in rubbing alcohol. it is proven to work...which is because alcohol is highly volatile. will absorb the water and evaporate much quicker. the brush is for if that doesnt work completely and would have to then take it apart. and worst case senario...it still doesnt work
before trying the alchohol thing, I plugged it in with the battery in. for about 10 seconds the orange lights up, but then switches to blinking which I haven't seen before. when i try to boot it up, it buzzes as normal but the LCD doesn't come on. then it just randomly buzzes likes it's trying again after a few seconds. this is after 5 days.
this is better than when I tried it after 3 days-it was red when I plugged it in, then when I tried turning it on all of the LED's flashed randomly.
I am going to suggest that you follow the advice of the guy who said submurge it in rubbign alcohol.. You really hsoudl do it right away... it will prevent minerals and otehr corrision inside it that will ruin it, the alcohol will displace the water inside, and as you have probalyl noticed if you ever spilt any rubbign alcohol, it evaporated very quickly... It is better to do it sooner than later before you get rust and other currosion inside it
Well I bit the bullet and submerged it in isopropyl rubbing alchohol in a covered plastic container. How long do you figure I should leave it in there?

generle rule i follow is to let it sit there about as long as it was in the water, probably longer. though by turning it on you may have screwed it, so good job
You should have just listened to me in the first place.
Well sadly I didn't even get in into the silica gel until about 6 hours after the initial submission as I was far from home. Unfortunately this probably will be a lost cause, had I had better luck and followed procedure immediately it probably would have been fine.
I left it in there for about 30-40 minutes, now it's drying. Quite a bit of the liquid got behind the screen. But I'm pretty sure the screen is shot anway. This poor thing will probably end up on ebay unless I'm insanely lucky. But thanks for your help I appreciate it.
I decided to take it apart to see if I could dry out the screen faster that way. Anyway there was a lot of corrosion on the screws, plastic, etc. in the battery compartment, but as I got further in, it didn't look too bad but definitely not new lol.
I think I'll put it together in a few days and see if anything has changed. Not sure if its worth spending $$ on a new screen cuz if that doesn't work I don't know how to fix anything else.
Rubbing alcohol is good if you can get good air supply to the parts, which in this case, you weren't. High purity alcohol does dry quickly with little to no residues, but it also wreaks havoc on ink, glues, etc. I would have NOT gone with the alcohol dip. If you were able to disassemble it, then I would have gone with the alcohol/canned air route.
Also, silica gel packets only absorb water, they don't "refresh" once they dry (to a certain extent). Consider filling a ziplock bag with dry rice, and then sticking your phone inside. This is actually a very effective way to absorb moisture that continues to work, versus silica gel packets which decrease their absorbancy as time goes on, especially in a sealed ziploc.
If you are seeing corrosion inside the phone, you're most likely SOL. The fact that the phone was ON when you jumped into the pool greatly decreases your chance, as the water likely had time to get into the phone while you had electricity running through the circuit(s). At best, you can now try and clean the board(s) with a good quality circuit cleaner (not just rubbing alcohol, it will likely not touch any corrosion).
Hey guys,
A little help here if you can. The other day my step son spilt his coke and luckily it only caught a few drops on my captivate, destroyed my desktop's keyboard though. I thought I cleaned it all well enough since it was truly only a few drops.
That was last night, today my volume and power and the door for my usb cable are sticking to the point of driving me insane. The volume is the worst of them. They still work I only have to press them like I am wanting to crush them.
My question is can any of you post a fix for this problem. A simple one if there is one. If there is no other solution but to take it apart and clean it could some one point me to a respectable walkthrough for doing so.
Thanks.

U could try putting it in a bag of rice for a couple days (with battery pulled out). Rice absorbs moisture very effectively.

Yeah I had thought of that but this is coke. I am not having problem with moisture but with the sticky sugary leftover after it dried.
Maybe try a little rubbing alcohol or other type of cleaner that would be safe on plastic and use a toothpick with cloth to get around the buttons.
Honestly I wouldn't try this unless you're not worried about losing the phone completely. I've done it on one of my old phones and it worked so I'll throw it out there but I am in no way suggesting you try it.
Take your battery out.
Get a ziplok bag and fill it with rubbing alcohol.
Throw your phone in the bag and seal it up.
Shake the phone around in the bag for a while.
While the phone is still in the bag push the move all the moving parts that are sticking until they don't stick.
Take the phone out of the bag and put it in a bowl of rice for a day or two until dry.
It may only take a day since alcohol dries extremely fast.
P.S. This method will activate your water damage sticker. (Unless you can seal around it, I siliconed a little cap over mine)

Get yourself a can of air, the stuff used for dusting electronics and such. Turn the can upside down and spray the buttons out lightly while working them. Go easy with the trigger on the can as it will be liquid when it comes out and will be EXTREMELY COLD but it will dry almost instantly. removing the battery door will give you better access to the buttons. I have saved a few beer and soda damaged keyboards this way.
I would use a cotton swab (or ball) and some alcohol. Soak the cotton in alcohol; squeeze out most of the excess, but leave enough that some can work into the crannies around the sticky parts and rub it around where the stickiness is. Maybe use a dry tissue to suck out the alcohol afterward. Repeat until you are either happy with the way things work or you are convinced that it's hopeless.
1.) Smack your step son in the face.
2.) Even though it's Coke, try the rice method.
3.) If you wanna really clean it open it up and use a cue tip.

I was just being sarcastic, lol. And you're right about the child abuse part but as long as the kid isn't bleeding or really bruised most cops would just give the parent a high five, lol
just take the phone apart and clean it with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. careful with the rubbing alcohol though, it is up to 30-40% water and can damage the phone. just like water can
Well. All things are good now. Someone suggested to just keep working the buttons enough and it would clear up. Sure enough today my buttons are like new. Thanks for all your help.

Hey all,
To keep a long story short, saliva (from my 1 year old daughter) got on/in my phone and now part of the screen does not work. When I say "does not work", the phone is mostly functional, but if I try to scroll through forums or menus then it will try and select some of them as I scroll. Also, some of the onscreen keys don't function properly when using the keyboard on the side. And, the swype does not work.
I did turn my phone off and leave it in a bowl of uncooked rice over night, but that didn't seem to fix much. I even went to the length of re-flashing my ROM and wiping data/cache.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (I am not afraid to take my phone apart)
Rice is a little to big to get into the nitty gritty of the phone and really dry it out, it may be too late by now but a more thorough way to dry out is to, Take the phone apart, get a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and go over the entire phone. The moisture mixed with the alcohol with evaporate much much faster.

Any specific parts I should focus on primarily? I was thinking that the issue may be where the screen cables connect to the mobo.
That's a good assumption.... going over the entire phone will cover all those bases.
Like i said it could already be too late. Good luck man.
Just got done cleaning the internals.. Same spots on the screen are not responding correctly. Looks like it's time to hit up e-bay for a replacement
That's what it sounded like.
But I wouldn't do alcohol wiping. I'd leave it in clothes dryer.
For your next phone pls get a case and screen protector.

It is as the dryer would probably not only break the phones screen but can shake around the hardware as well. Rice, or a hair dryer set on low is the best bet for drying out phones.
You guys really need your sarcasm meters checked...
I probably do right now. I didn't get off work until two hours ago. Will try better tomorrow haha.

I completely disassembled my phone last night (sans removing glass/lcd) and used rubbing alcohol over all the ribbon connectors. On the plus side, I didn't screw anything else up... on the down side though, still have that nice dead zone on my screen.
Now to either buy a replacement off e-bay or try and pilfer my brothers Infuse that he soft bricked until my contract is up in June.
