How to handle water damage phone

Good Guide here:

Ever dropped your cell phone in the sink? Did you ever leave it in your pocket and run it through the

washer? It usually means you have to replace your phone, but sometimes if you're fast you can save the

phone.

1. Remove the Battery. This is one of the most important steps. Don't take time to think about it,electricity and water do not mix. Cutting power to your phone is a crucial first step in saving it.

2. Open the casing and dry your Phone. Obviously you need to remove as much of the water as soon as

you can to prevent it from getting into the phone. Use a towel or a paper towel to remove as much of the

water as possible.

3. Soak in Alcohol. Alcohol is hygroscopic (attracts water), it will dissolve all the water in the phone, which

will then pour out of the phone with the alcohol. Any remaining alcohol will evaporate. Alcohol will not

harmyour phone but may mess up glue (from stickers and the like). Use 95% alcohol, not the regular 70%

rubbing type. Do it outside!. If you use alcohol, do not follow the rest of the advice here, instead leave

your

phone outside for a day or two to dry.

4. Allow the phone to dry. Since you do not want to ruin your phone or lose all the numbers in your phone

book, you need to allow the phone to dry. Don't try putting the battery back on to see if it works as this

would risk damaging the phone with a short circuit. Leaving your phone in a bowl of dry rice will help to

expedite moisture evaporation.

5. Heat your Phone. Apply enough heat to your phone to cause the water to evaporate withoutwaterlogging

your digital screen. One of the best things you can do to save a cell phone is to set it on the back of your

computer monitor or TV screen over the heat vents. This is usually the perfect amount of heat to fix your

phone. The convection action of the heat vents will help carry away the moisture in your phone. Leave the

phone on the heat for at least 2-3 days. Another option is to leave it overnight in the oven on warm (make

sure to take off the battery first).

6. Test your Phone. After you have waited 3 days, make sure everything is clean and dry looking and

re-attach the battery to the phone and see if it works. If your phone does not work repeat step 4. If it still

won't work, try taking your cell phone to an authorized dealer. Sometimes they can fix it.

Tips :

* Don't put the battery on for at least 3 days or longer if your digital screen is foggy.

* Place a piece of satin finish scotch tape over your water damage sticker before you drop your cell phone

in the water to prevent the

water damage sticker from voiding your warranty. This sticker can usually be found under your battery.

It's a small round white sticker,

possibly with dots on it. If this sticker gets ??? it changes color and your phone is marked for water

damage.



* Remove the tape if you ever have to return your phone for repairs or warranty. (See the note in the

'Warnings' section about doing this!)

* The best way to dry out your phone is to place it in front of an air conditioner or air conditioning vent.

Cold air won't damage your

phone (hot air can warp or in extreme cases even melt plastic), and air from an air conditioner is dry, and

so will evaporate water faster

than you might think (which is why a car air conditioner will de-mist the windshield so effectively, even if

the engine hasn't warmed upyet). Warm air from a reverse-cycle air conditioner works even better, of course. If you dry your phone in

this way overnight it should be

fine by the morning.

* Use a hairdryer set on warm; it won't melt your head so your phone should be safe.

* Use a food dehydrator.

* Use the oven on the warm setting (make sure to take out the battery)

Warnings :

* Don't heat the battery or it could leak acid. If you use an oven or hairdryer, make sure to remove the

battery first.* If you use alcohol make sure to do so outside, and do not apply heat in any form, not even the gentle

heat of a monitor. Do not hook

up the bettery till the alcohol smell dissipates.

* Do not apply heat to your phone other than mentioned above. You don't want to melt or burn your

phone.

* Warranty fraud is naughty! If you dropped your phone in the can with your other 'droppings'--are you

really going to send it in for a

warranty tech to have to open? Yuck!

* FYI, Most modern phones have more than one liquid damage indicator on them, only one visible to you

(and sales/technician

agents), and chances are, if the sticker under the battery is triggered (or would be, with the scotch tape

trick), then the odds are that the

internal stickers you can't access are tripped as well. This will still result in you paying a voided-warranty

fee in the long run, and it may

be best to just learn from your mistake (and not make it more financially severe!).

* Even if all these steps are followed, minerals dissolved in the water can precipitate on solder and

component pins, causing

corrosion or shorting. Components pins are packed so closely together in a modern cell phone that even a

small encrustation can

create a short, rendering the phone inoperable

Free 10 things you don't know About NOKIA

1) The ringtone "Nokia tune" is actually based on a 19th century guitar work named "Gran Vals" by

Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named "Grande Valse" on Nokia

phones but was changed to "Nokia Tune" around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred

to it as the "Nokia Tune."

2) The world's first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by

Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.

3) Nokia is currently the world's largest digital camera manufacturer, as the sales of its camera-equipped



mobile phones have exceeded those of any conventional camera manufacturer.

4) The "Special" tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text messages) is actually

Morse code for "SMS". Similarly, the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse code for "Connecting People," Nokia's

slogan. The "Standard" SMS tone is Morse code for "M" (Message).

5) The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally designed by Eric

Spiekermann. Its mobile phone User's Guides Nokia mostly used the Agfa Rotis Sans font.

6) In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky

in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.

7) Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune's list of 2006 (1st in

network communications, 4th non-US company).

8. Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia phones do not automatically start the call timer when the call

is connected, but start it when the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60 based handsets like the Nokia

6600)

9) Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile

software developers, because "aikon" is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia's own

Symbian S60 SDK.

10) The name of the town of Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river

itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning sable, later pine marten. A

species of this small, black-furred predatory animal was once found in the region, but it is now extinct.

Increase Your MMC Space

Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.

So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.

If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most

installed program files are usually less than 2K.

You will need a card reader to do this:-

1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show

all/hidden/os files to "on")

2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.

Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select

FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and

does not change the block size)

3. Copy back all files to MMC.

Now you will find that you will have more space.



256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs

New Symbian Tips

Note: We are Not responsible for any damage, try at ur own risk

Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?

Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll

down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text

in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty good for placing song names in ngagesTip 2 : ….happens, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format of

fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone.

NOTE: batt must b full, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous

I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.

for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*>, and the buttons,

then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. tis method ONLY works

on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code wun be reset to default 12345.

Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug it in,

place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in

manager.

Tip 4: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which canbe accessed by holding down the menu button!!

Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to

other sim cards

Tip 6: Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running

Tip 4a: Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.

Tip 4b: Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery life.

Tip 7: If you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set your phone's

visibility to hidden.

Tip 8: Don't want to carry a watch and a phone? Set the screen saver to show date and time, then you

can ditch the watch.

Tip 9: Save memory when installing apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia

phone suite and a bluetooth serial connection. Only works with .SIS files, so java still has to be sent to the

phone, but will save space when using .SIS files.

Tip 10: Operator logos

Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp

picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels

Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone is on

Delivery reports

or

Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then write your message, the recipient

will not see the star zero hash bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message back to

your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though).

Tip 12: BlueJacking

First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate

Bluetooth as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern

devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book

contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres.

So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook

contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search

for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will



popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along

those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

#16: A soft and Hard reset

A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications

are deleted! A Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been

installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state

you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The battery must be full or

the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone

unusable.#17: Formats of images

the whole 3650 system. It was never intended to work on the 3650, only on the 7650.

Why assigning Video Recorder in the right or left soft key does not work?

(Sound Recorder is launched instead of Video Recorder)

It's a bug with firmware version 2.50.

How to check your firmware version:

A "Firmware" is the phone's operating system stored in internal Flash memory of the device (disk Z.

Manufacturers release new firmware versions containing bug fixes, improvements and - sometimes -

offering new functions.

Firmware upgrade can only be made in authorized Nokia service centre (point).

To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# on main Phone screen.

•

How to check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)?

Type *#06# on main Phone screen.

Start up in Safe Mode so no 'auto start' apps will be running:

To make sure that no memory-resident programs start when you reboot your phone,

hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on untill you have to enter your PIN

code.

(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because it got corrupted for some

reason, this trick will



almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest installed app which might have

caused the

problem or if your phone is "unrepairable" you can still back up your important data before you do a

format.)

Q: How to totally format your Nokia 3650 and remove all installed applications, user files and restore all

settings to default like it's new out of the box? (OEM apps won't be deleted like Camera and RealOne

Player).

A: First Format your MMC: Menu > Extras > Memory > Options > Format mem. card > Yes.Note: It is very important to format your MMC before you format your phone!

Then format your phone by typing *#7370# on main Phone screen.

Phone will ask: "Restore all original phone settings? Phone will restart." Press 'Yes' and enter your Lock

code (default is 12345).

Tip: Formatting takes several minutes so you'd better connect your Nokia 3650

to a charger to ensure that your battery doesn't get empty in the middle of formatting.

Note: All your created acces points and mailboxes will be lost so take a note of them. And all application

settings will be reset.

E.g. In Camera, image quality is set back to normal and memory in use is set back to phone memory. And

also in Messages,

memory in use is set back to phone memory, etc. Also backup your contacts with PC Suite or a programlike Contacts Manager.

To reset your wallet, should you forget your code,

Type in:

*#7370925538#

this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.

How to free more RAM on your phone >>>

>>> Method 1: Flight mode:

Put your phone in "Flight mode" with Psiloc System Tools. Install System Tools, open it and select "Flight

mode". This way you can restart the phone without your SIM card so there will be no running phone tasks

in the background. Now you can have up to 3,5 MB of free RAM!

Note: ironically enough, Flight mode doesn't work when Smart Launcher is installed, at least in my case.

But i've also heard several reports of people who have both apps running without any problems.

>>> Method 2: Smart Launcher trick:

Install Smart Launcher and open it. Go to Options, Settings and put Launcher ON.

Now plug in your charger and switch off your phone. Wait untill the battery meter appears and short press

the Menu button (don't hold).

The menu should appear and now you can have 3,5 to 4,5 MB free RAM! (Hold Menu button to check

RAM).

The trick is that with the charger plugged in, the phone must get a minimum software support for

charging, even when

the phone is switched off. And somehow Smart Launcher has still got it's shortcut running and that's the

Menu button. So when

you press the Menu button, you go directly to the Menu without any other phone tasks running in the

background so

you trick the phone and you have more free RAM!

Note: when you unplug the charger, the phone will switch off.

>>> Method 3: Menu :

This method I found it by myself, it frees a little about 100~200 KB but I guess it's useful sometime

Close your menu not by selecting the right selection key "exit", or pressing the menu key another time,

they only hide the menu app but do not close it, to close it select the left selection key "option" and scroll



down and select "exit"

So when you open an app needs more ram reopen menu and close it, it's useful when play low bit rate
