Accidently Deep Fried my Galaxy S at 454° for 4 min :(

So I went to look check my phone, and it slipped from my hand, tried grabbing it, Felt like slow-mo, and just missed it, and watched it fall into the deep fat fryer, So I then had to watch it cook for 4 mins at 240°C.
Obviously turn of the fryer, and tried to dig out with tongs.
The interesting thing is it still works! Tad greasy, absolutly EVERYTHING work, Apart from the speak, So its now useless as a phone :/
Is the speaker user replaceable?

well, that's a pretty interesting story, man.
do you mean the speaker is broken or the microphone? you'll probably be able to get it repaired by samsung assuming you have a warranty on it.

With respect, would you really trust a phone, even repaired that you DEEP FRIED for 4 minutes? Be lucky you can get your data off it and buy a new phone!

Do you really think so They'll see you coming from miles away. You caused the damage yourself, it's not like it's a design fault.

i mean what were u thinkin man..........just cant beleive it u actually fried ur phone..............4 mins in fryer , u might as well eat it like a gingerbread dessert or something

Hmmm deep fried Gingerbread...lol
In all honesty, funkyblue is right. Get what data/contacts you can (if not backed up to google) and get yourself a new phone. If your headset port isn't caked up with grease then maybe you can use it as a glorified MP3/music player.
How on earth did the battery not die?

Forget the speaker, I think the main thing we are all curious about is...do you eat a deep fried SGS with ketchup, or malt vinegar?

Post the pics

BAHAHAHAHA (sorry!), this is the funniest title since someone deep froze their sgs (iirc).
But as to your question, I wouldn't be surprised if the speaker is replacable, iirc its a modular component!
EDIT: wait, was it 454 or 240 degrees? Big difference

or you can keep it and use phone with bluetooth headset???

Pictures have now been added, Sorry for the delay!
The speaker is now working albeit very quietly, There is this greasy ring inside the camera when taking a picture, Guessing oil is trapped in there.

Love the simcard

May I respectfully suggest that coating the phone in batter next time will offer a degree of protection, and add immeasurably to the taste and texture!

How would rebooting the phone help the hardware? Ask yourself that question.

There's TVs that have been on in the bar I work at for the last 9 years non stop 24/7, they won't die.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

as far as my understanding goes ... few of the process uses some part of memory continuously and can cause few glitches to hardware since its hitting same place again and again... Reboot free up everything and start new processes allocating new memories.. (I may totally wrong or dumb ) ... that y asked..anyways I'll keep it running until totally needed to reboot...

Thats a long time
So do you find that it performs the same after that long as if you had just rebooted?
I never have mine on for more than 48 hours
When I charge overnight, I turn the phone off
I also have it set to do heaps of performance enhancing stuff on boot so maybe mine is just faster after reboot because of that

True it work faster after reboot... running so long it started showing lags, apps load slow... and main problem I faced was network..it started loosing network quite frequently... once complete reboot all gone and response is little better...

Please help me my phone gets so HOT!!

Hi, l have this problem on my phone, my phone gets so hot when i am listening to music and browsing(Mostly at the same time), it causes the battery drain so fast.
I didn't check how much was the temperature, but it feels so uncomfortable when it gets hot.
Does it usual for all Smartphone? or only HTC?
Seems like the problem happened after i updated to Official HTC ICS update. I seldomly used it when it was with stock rom so i am not really sure.

which rom you are using?

You can put it in a glass of water and because its hot the water will evaporate without getting it wet

But do all Android phones like that? or only HTC? I saw some even overheat and had to reboot.

Mine is exactly the same. I am using the ICS Sense 4 rom so I think that the cause of this is the ICS not the rom it self since you are not using any custom rom.

Mine is getting that temperature when i am playing Shadowgun or Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus. With FIFA the latest one i got barrely 39C. I think that this is a normal issue.
And no that isn't just with HTC. It is with all phones out there. Except if you got down clocked it. But then again it can't be 29-30C all the time...

But doesn't it affect the battery? this morning i used it for browsing and listening to music, also i did youtube streaming for about 30 minutes(it took so long for buffering). it drained faster than usual,
or is it because the place i used it for browsing was in low signal? so it drained more to get the signal.
Anyway thanks for the telling, i was thinking of changing the phone, but since the others also have the same problem, i will not change it and stay with my SXL

Okay
I am thinking to root my phone, and maybe will downgrade it and later may try a custom rom.
But if i do such thing as install custom rom, unlock relock bootloader, will it format everything include the phone storage or just the internal storage?
Since it has no external sd card so i am not really sure of it.

Just unlock and relock the bootloader wouldn't wipe your data. It is good though if you do backup from the current rom after root. That way you can't loose your data

Yes it will! So backup your data

Root your phone while keeping the stock ROM.
Install Titanium Backup.
Make a backup of all the apps you wish to keep.
Flash a new ROM.
Reinstall Titanium Backup.
Restore your apps.
IMPORTANT: make a nandroid backup before you flash your new ROM, to be on the safe side.

Hi, the heat issue is still bothering me, do all phones start to get hot(39-4* Celcius) in just a few minutes(about 5-10 minutes web browsing)
My SXL does it and the battery keep draining.
It surely bothers me that i have to charge the phone twice a day and an uncomfortable feeling in my hand.
Considering the phone's battery is 1750mAh it will be able to last 3-5 hours, isn't it?
But my battery monitor says 1hours 25minutes remaining in 44 celcius.
*Web browsing only reaches 43 celcius
Web browsing + music last time reached 44 celcius.

Something is wrong , my sxl is max 35 celcius no matter what but in normal use it is 30 degrees like now

I just tested my SXL
it was in a very cool condition because of the fan on my desk
29 celcius at 21.49 o'clock
i closed the fan and i tried to do a web browsing until 21.56 o'clock it reached 35 celcius
i didn't really hold the phone, and my room has an air conditioner.
I don't mind if the max is 35 celcius, but mine can be more than 35...
How about if i send it to HTC service centre?
I heard the service centre review was so bad.
also am i able to get the warranty back by flashing it back into stock rom?

No you can't. Because if you relock the BT it will be "RE-Locked" in the BT menu, not "Locked". But if you go trough with flashing a stock rom.......then you are lucky.
But just tellin ya, they do not give a ratsa** about the condition of the phone after they return it to you. You can get it back with scratches or worse.
Keep that in mind...

Overheating is a problem on most laptops and phone during heavy usage/load. I had a friend that used to put his iPhone 4S in the fridge after playing a few hours some games, so nothing to worry about this, also, my Dell Streak used to overheat when i was playing games, browsing and streaming videos on WiFi and charging it, but nothing to worry, it's normal, if your phone doesn't randomly reboot then there is no problem to it, all hardwares have "safety switches" that underclock the processor (laptops) on the fly or reboots/turns off the processor (phones and pretty much everything).

My phone is hot T--T

Hello everyone,

what a nice phone you have!
I've been always in love with HOT phones, but never got any
maybe Pitbull will use it in a new music video
but seriously speaking, heating is a normal thing to happen with these phones, mine gets so much hot, but the very first step is to compare it with a friend or so,just make sure that it is ABNORMALLY hot, and at the same time, and under the same condition (for example when no app is running on two phones, run a graphic-hungry game to see how hot your and your friend's phone get)
this way you will rest assured that heating is just normal
wish you luck

I guess this is the latest version for your device.
Is it running this hot from the first day of use or just after the update?
You could also make a repair via PC companion. See if it works. Don't forget to make a backup before that.
I do not own this device. I have a Z3C. From what I have just read, the software updates should, at least, make it less hotter.
Hope it helps.

ty dude,this version was has a better heating but i can not play a simple game even with this version!

You should have read people's comments before buying this phone. I am using it for six months and have known the bitter truth that it cannot be kept cool. Either change your habits and don't play games on it or get rid of this ****. OR keep a glass of ice water with you and dip XZ3+ in it to cool it down.

6.01 here and having rev.5 (ie its from eu) and the phone get silly hot (recording, playing a game). Its a fault with this otherwise awsome phone.

I am on 305 with 3 of my Z3+ devices.... one from the UK and the others from Asia, and they all run completely cool now.
Sorry to hear you are having issues...which model and territory is it from?
My Japanese Z4 models, which are essentially the same phone, are running a little behind on the updates and running a bit warmer but still much better than before 6.0.

Tried it in summer. Internal cpu remperature remained same but feeling to hands was better since then heat was not concentrated at one place of body.
Overall I didn't see any change in performance. Well I live at Pakistan and room temperature in summer without air-conditioning gets upto 38 Celsius, internal cpu temperature got upto 75 Celsius..... Still better than Note 7 though.
