Liquid troubles - Moto X Q&A

I accidentally knocked over a cup of apple cider and some of it got into the USB port of the Moto X. I powered the device down immediately. Should I put my phone in a bag of rice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, apple cider is sticky

I had read that. Thank you for the suggestion. How likely is it that the cider got inside?

Ha! "Lenoto X." That's great. Makes me want to cry, but its clever nonetheless.

Nice to meet you too.
I really like the cases. Cutouts are really good.
The covered buttons work just fine, no pressing by the case itself, which I have had problems out of some TPU cases.
Will definitely be buying more of these cases.
Added more pictures. The RED looks pink with the flash on but it is RED.
Was wondering how these would fit with the extended battery?

These fit great on the extended battery and are well made.
I don't care for the matte finish on the extended cases. Those cases are good fit and good quality too.

Thanks for the info!
Bought one of these for my bionic and the wife's incredible 2. Love 'em. Much better than the cases that verizon sells.

I freakin loves these cases. Joel is a good friend of mine and a great guy to deal with. He offers a really nice case for a killer price. I always buy 2 or 3 colors from him.
PS.. joel, i'm gonna book my flights for CES in the next day or so.

Yeah for TN people I am in Spring Hill, love these cases I have one for my Bionic and my wife one for her charge.
Im looking at this one here...
http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Moto...1OK9R8S7S5URY&s=generic&qid=1322339458&sr=1-9
Question is how well does it slide in and out of pockets? Not sure of the exact material or texture so wondering if it gets stuck at all or is it a smooth slide? thanks!

These are smooth and, won't/don't get stuck in your pocket like a silicone one will.
These cases look pretty cool. Are they thinner than the regular verizon soft silicone case? I am looking for something thinner.
I have one of those from Verizon.
These are thinner than the ones at Verizon.
Not sure how much thinner. Don't have a micrometer to check.

Thanks. I think I am going to get one today.

How to get old person smell out of used electronics

Haha, OK, NO idea where to ask this. So I bought a portable battery pack on eBay...When it arrived, it had all the tips, worked great, BUT, oh man, it smells like they took it out of grandpa's coffin. I haven't even gotten anything at a thrift store that's smelled this bad - let alone something that's plastic and I have no idea how is absorbing that smell! I now know why some eBay auctions talk about "smoke/pet free home", but this would have to be like dead people free home! Eww! I sprayed them down with alcohol based scented hand sanitizer but I still don't think that killed it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I am still baffled at how it somehow sunk into the plastic!!
Try cleaning it with vodka. I know vodka takes out the cigarette smell from clothes. EVen those that have been in a smoker's room for a few years.
Well, since hand sanitizer is an even higher concentration alcohol, I'm guessing it would have done the same thing.
Stop smelling it?
Hang an Air-freshener tree from each ear?
Breathe through your mouth?
Cover it in rotten meat so it doesn't smell like old person anymore?
It infects everything it touches. I put it on a pillow, now I have to wash the pillow. I touch it, I have to wash my hands. Not smelling isn't an option.
First you use soap and water on it. Then you dry it off and use fire to cleans the evil from the electronics.

THen you can just drink the vodka, and after a while you wont smell it.
Dip it in odor eliminating paint. That should keep the smell from coming out of the plastic.
You must lick it clean.

White plastic already showing dirt

Anyone else? The plastic on the side is already getting dirty...has anyone tried cleaning theirs?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Its just plastic. Wipe it down with a mild soapy water solution.
Mine still looks brand new and I'm a diesel mechanic. I take mine to work every night, and check messages and emails several times a night (sometimes with my dirty greasy gloves on). I've only had to clean the screen.

My problem is always the dye from my denim, which makes white cases completely blue. Mr. Clean works perfectly on the white edges here.

Yes, that is what you need. These erasers are amazing, they work everywhere on everything. Rumor has it, Michael Jackson used them to erase some scars from his Pepsi commercial.... he went a bit overboard and ... well... you know...
But seriously, yes. Those are the ones you'll need.

The ones I linked to are from China and the shipping takes forever, do you think these are the same?

Those are the exact ones that I use around my house. They should be just fine for this purpose. I've never used them on my phone, but these are more than likely what the original suggestion was referring to. Best of luck.
FYI, laban means yogurt in Arabic!

Ordered it!!!!!

So finally made the decision and ordered the GSM Developer Edition, I wanted the 32GB and I also figured resale would be easier in the future! I freakin can't wait!! Do you guys who have white phones or the DE is the white a pain to keep clean? Should I put ghost armour or zagg on it?

No need unless you use grease or mud to wash your hands.
I do admit i am getting a case to avoid scratches on the front and the back, since it happened with my s3.

Has anyone successfully swapped the back plate?

Now that the wood back plates are popping up on Ebay, I'm wondering how difficult it would be to change out the stock plate with a wood one. It looks like there is no adhesive, flash or camera lens in these new backs, so I'm curious how hard it would be to migrate everything over. Does anyone have any experience doing this and want to give me some pointers? Also, if you don't reuse the adhesive, what product would you use in its place? Thanks in advance!
There is a thread in the accessories forum that might be of use to you in regards to back cover replacements.
