...in the washing machine, for the full cycle!
But it survived!!
I discovered it in the washing machine the other night while looking to charge it. So I took it out of the case and shoved it in a box of Minute Rice we had in the cupboard and let it sit there overnight. The battery was dead when I got home from work earlier that day so I wasn't worried too badly. Anyway, I took it to work and disassembled it (thanks iFixit), washed all the parts in 91% isopropyl alcohol, and put everything in a bag with rice for a few hours. I'm a mechanic and have a lot of side projects so this wasn't out of the ordinary for the other guys.
I started assembling the phone, cleaning the rice dust off as I went. I plugged it in before I put the back cover on just to see if it would charge; lo and behold the screen flashed on with the animated battery icon! It powered on just fine, so on went the back cover. Everything else checked out as it charged. The only issue is the screen discolored around the edges... Oh well. After the whole ordeal, I'm just happy it works.
TL;DR- N4 went through wash cycle. disassembled and cleaned, works fine, but screen discolored.
nice, my nexus 4 took a dive too once but don't worry,the ground was okay! :good:
The discoloration should go away when it drys more I believe.
I dunno 'bout that... (Pic taken with spare phone then BT'd over to N4)

is that water on the sides? if so, let it dry for couple days.
It's better for the long run if you didn't use it yet and fully disassemble the phone and let all the parts dry out first.
you can find lots of tuts in youtube on how to fix a phone when it died due to deep dive (something like putting it in sand i totally forgot - just stumbled upon those vids back then)
btw, it really looks cool but its risky when charging! just a precaution mate!
Also, would have been cool if you called your phone while it was spinning! and got it in video! (good for the n4 community! haha):laugh:

All the parts did dry out. I disassembled it completely, washed everything in 91% alcohol, then put them in a bag with rice for a few hours. Not to mention the phone itself sat in rice overnight before disassembly.

The galaxy s ii didn't survive one day. Got it on new yrs eve. Pulled it out and that's what it looked like. That was a crazy night. The guys at the store said they have only seen one other one break. He then went to the display and hit it with his keys over and over and over. Same thing I did with my galaxy s. Never broke.
But the phone that takes the cake is my HTC fuze. I've had to dig that out of the wall twice when I threw it. Fell from a second story balcony. It was indestructible.

My phone has been through a lot. I've accidentally dropped it so many times without a case. It slid in the street face down once when it fell out my hand when i was crossing the street. No damage was done minus the shell was a little scuffed.

I have to agree on the fuze. Went flying many times. I still have mine. The battery expanded to it doesn't work, I'll just need a new battery though.

Oh I forgot to mention the captivate, ATT's version of the galaxy s, was made of metal. Great build quality samsung. What happened. But that phone was my swiss army knife. It opened beer bottles, crushed pills, made dust of stuff, ect. Used it to tap on people's heads. It was quite the brick.

I just had to share this. I heard that the S2 has Gorilla Glass... so I naturally assumed that it was indestructible. I told my brother nothing could scratch it. So I found something sharp and he went at it for 20 seconds. After a quick inspection, I found no scratches. After closer inspection, I found minor scratches. Well, I felt them. So, it does scratch and now I'm stuck with these little hairline scratches. Oh well I guess...

Not me... But once, my friends and I went to an ice rink just for fun. A hockey game was going on and we decided to watch. As we were sitting there, we realized there was a net that goes around the glass. He decided it would be fun to take video on his phone while bouncing it on the net. Eventually, after doing this for several minutes, his phone went THROUGH the net, onto the ice, and shattered... During the game. Idiot...
I bought a mint condition HTC hd2 a few months back, it was pristine... never even had anything flashed on it. That night I went out to eat and dropped it from the dinner table to the concrete floor at Texas roadhouse. Of course it shattered. I replaced the screen and sold it on here to our friend cajunflavoredbob at a $60 loss. I almost cried when I dropped it. :')

MIUI?
Forced the Magic for a broadcomm wlan kernel object for the HTC DesireHD to try to fix non functioning wifi, It was one commit short, what harm could it possibly do. Sent the driver to the phone. insmod, Instant Reset. it doesn't end there, LOL.
Turns out that one extra commit fixed a null reference pointer in the driver. The same null ref ptr that cause a kernel panic with a 5 second shutdown notification. The wlan driver is one on the first things checked when the device starts.
Did I mention the Volume rocker was non functioning and "adb reboot bootloader" was just not quick enough to win the race.
Stripped it down to get at the volume pads.... longish story short.... A flashing power led and lsusb reporting a vendorid that matched Qualcomm, does not a happy device make.
Turns out I'm not Paul Daniels ( David Copperfield for non UK readers ) and I should leave the magic to the kernel. :laugh:

Nail on the head
So the other day I noticed my screen was starting to get flush with the sides of my case. Upon closer inspection, I noticed my screen was starting to bow out!
Recently, I had been having some really strange battery life where the phone would die at around 50% or so, and when I would reboot the phone, it would read at about 5-10%. So I'm assuming the battery is defective, and it's beginning to expand and become bloated.

Don't charge it. Take a backup. Switch it off and send it back.
You really don't want the battery to vent and possibly have thermal runaway. Lithium batteries can fail quite spectacularly.
If you must charge it, put it far away from anything flammable and have a bucket of water ready.
Thanks... didn't realize the dangers could be that catastrophic...
Vent with flames come to mind, return it to HTC
In the mean time keep it somewhere always from flammable materials, in case it goes bang, i kid you not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay don't forget to first run your stock ruu and then lock your bootloader, not have it say relocked otherwise they will surely deny you warranty.
Well HTC are using the new lithium polymer batteries, they blow up and set on fire, just be carefull with charging it!

Ive seen a lipo battery go off, I used to fly pro radio controlled helicopters which also run on lipo batteries and watched a poor mans £1000 heli go up in flames and destroyed to pieces, theres no blowing it out when they go, its an acid fire, if your sending it through the post I would first get a lipo safe charge bag and put it in there before posting, it could go off at anytime once it starts swelling.

Personally, if my phone would do this, I wouldn't even bring it inside my home again. Unstable Li-ion batteries are very likely to cause a fire eventually.
So I got the watch yesterday and wore it at the gym today, it was nice to have media control over my phone during gym, just light resistance and 5 min of cardio, i didnt get that sweaty......BUT
there is moisture behind the camera lens now, pictures are blury. Samsung says watch can not be exposed to any water despite them talking of exercise in their manual. AT&T says not our problem
Looking closely at the behind the camera there is a tiny pin hole, I'm guessing a little moisture seeped in. It is sitting in a bag of rice now but if it is salt water i am worried about residue left on the lens. Maybe venture into disassemble and alcohol if someone ever has a picture guide. Any help is welcome
If the small amount of sweat I had caused issues i am wondering what will happen when people go to baseball/football/outdoor activities in summer and actually sweat
oh and the at&t girl suggested i cover the hole up with electrical tape for next workout, HAHAHAHA
the note 3 rules
Jesus man, I was going to use it when I lifted. I guess ill hold off
If I was you I would return it at a different AT&T. Don't tell them what's wrong with it. Just that you decided it's not for you. Then go to another store and buy again.
I would never keep a $300 anything that was damaged beyond my control. If you cant exercise with the watch on....it's not even worth it.

This definitely needs to be brought to their attention. I feel they should fix this issue for free. $300 for a watch that can't take a little sweat? That's ridiculous.

Very nice, very practical and beautiful watch.
It's only missing durable aspects like scratch prof and water resistant.

I went up hiking with a friend in the Colorado mountains today. We went wayyyy up a small dirt trail just wide enough for one car, it was great!
About 30 minutes into the drive along this dirt trail, we saw something black 10ft off the road, which ended up being a 46 inch Flat Screen Samsung TV, in perfect physical condition, other than it looks like it's been there several days and we knew it rained the last few nights.. but I took it home anyways!
Found a cable to plug it in, and used my Note 4 as a remote, and it turned on! Made the powering-on little tune and everything! But.. the screen has MAJOR water damage, to the point where it's unusable. It can't be used in the condition it's in now.
So.. if you were in my position, what would you do?
Look for a replacement panel?
Call Samsung?
Set up a warranty with some company somehow?
Replace the Screen, if I can find a screen replacement?
Throw it out? Sell the working parts?
What would you do if you were in my exact position?

If you can still see some cool color shapes when you turn it on, I would put it on its back on top of a mount of some sort, and use it as a coffee table. Plugged in it looks pretty cool actually.

I love that area. Back when I was a wee little lad, my grandfather used to take me up there for hunting squirrels and deer. Someday stop in at buds bar in Sedalia, that place is on some list for their burgers. I have to admit, they're pretty dang good too!
