Is da Sauna bad for the EVO? Just curious if its safe to use in the sauna after working out.
Thanks ahead of time
Probably wouldn't do that ... what with all the ... you know ... humidity?
Ya...was thinking the same thing. But sucks ...would love to show case the Evo --- the phone that can withstand heat. Lol

I would not do that without protection. Are you wanting to be able to talk on the phone? or just txt, email, etc? I bought a waterproof case that would protect the phone from the moisture damage and allows the touchscreen to be used.

Huh ...interesting. Just wanted to use it music and playing games. Today, I sat in there for about 15 mins and the temp (SetCPU) didn't get higher than 130 F.
Moisture ... humidity ...
That's what you'd probably want to worry about the most.
Good look on that link though, above.

NOT A BULL**** STORY
A friend of mine was in the shower, when AT&T called him. He answered and keep on bathing. The rep even ask him, sir are you in the shower, he said yea, she said do you want me to call you back later, he said no. She then told him how it was bad to take it into the bathroom at shower time, more less shower with it. Funniest part she was calling to sell him a something. It was an iphone, and it no longer works. Moral, i would not take it in the sauna, the moisture alone is gonna kill it.

The case is pretty bulky but works well. I bought it to use when I go biking, camping, etc to protect the phone. I bought it at Eastern Mountain Sports... tried out the phone in the case in store before buying and was happy to see that the touchscreen worked great. If you needed to talk you could use a cheap bluetooth headset.

Hope you've got insurance and get a kick out of paying $100 deductibles. Cause Sprint's never touching that phone no matter what's wrong with it.
Don't forget about the swim gear that came in the box

They actually make water proof cases so you put your phone into the case and still use it underwater if you are in the ocean or whatever.

My only questions would be do they make a bluetooth that is water proof? Also if your diving with your phone .... you have an addiction.
I'm skeptical about the screen being able to detect touch through that thing.
And it's so stylish!

Im sure it'll work fine. I can operate my phone with mechanics wear gloves on while doing yard work (changing songs) so this plastic should be no problem.
I do however wonder two things.
1. What pictures would it take in this thing...under water. Poor at best, but stay with me on this one.
2. What kind of reception would I get? I am tempted to go snatch one of my old G1s out of the kids toy tubs and take it diving just to take a picture and post it all while under water.
You guys obviously are not familar with the Sonar app, I think its called "ping" try it. Great for avoiding errant U-boats while diving.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
i heard another cheap way to protect your phone underwater is to use condoms. LOL
So i realized i had a problem.. i had no dock. I saw some other self made docks around the forum and realized i didn't have any of the supplies So i made my own.
Required:
1 red cup
2 Screws
1 push pin
2 Screw anchors (thx MV10 for clearing that up )
Basically place the cup upside down, place the two screws equally apart on the bottom, place the two screw holsters on the sides of the push pin (mine fit fairly snug actually) then find the spot you'd like to angel your phone with and place it in, put the phone on and verify you like how it feels (might take a few adjustments here and there). Enjoy
I know it's extremely ghetto but hey it's labor day, and i'm at work (sucks) and there was nothing to do!
Attached is an image of the final product.
Sure it's ghetto, but it works and I'll bet you weren't bored for about half an hour finding the supplies and putting it together. Plus you can feel self satisfied whilst you watch your video

Sooo True! the cool thing about this is, the bezel on the phone actually kinda locks into the screws...the only funny thing is when i get a text the entire cup starts moving rofl.. Watching Kick-Ass on it right now too Working perfectly for what it's worth
The things you're calling "screw holsters" are called anchors.

Awsome ideas on the dock and the kickstand.

hahaha he sure put alot more thought into it than i did... lol looks awesome i will soon have 2 docks to choose from
Man that guy put a lot of effort into that paper clip. Maybe to much, but I can really appreciate his efforts and willingness to share.
Sent myself the paper clip one to try at work..... during my break of course

Haha, I was @ work earlier when i made the dock... and the funny thing is i couldn't find a freakin paperclip which led me to using the red cup, the screw anchors and the screws (from a d-link switch box) rofl...
Any decent cases made for phones that are water resistent and not a pouch? My heart broke a bit finding out the Z wasn't coming to the us in its water resistent form. If a case lets me use this phone in the shower I'll be so happy.

I assume he wants to listen to music or radio in the shower. Or maybe video chat with a "friend".

Sounds good idea , So after washing phone will be germ free. That May be no more worries anymore .
" Great idea "
Let's be honest, who wouldn't want to use their phone in the shower sometimes. My friends have an awkward sixth sense in knowing the most inopportune times to text me (just as I drift to sleep before work and my phones charging across the room, in the shower, etc). That and sometimes I get on a real reddit streak and I KNOW I have **** to do but I put it off and procrastinate until I'm late.
And yeah, it's my phone and I can wash it if I want to.

It's a legitimate want. I personally could benefit as I fix and install carwashes. I'm sure others out there would utilize this. I also surf and snowboard yearly not to mention moutain bike and skateboard. With the water hazards that exist out in the world why wouldn't you want this. Seems like phones should be equipped with resistant shells. Much more viable feature HTC could have pioneered this instead of 3D technology that cost tons of money only to fail and end up a gimmick.

Thanks. While I may be slightly sarcastic about the shower I am in situations where a water resistent case or phone would be handy. It just makes me wonder if they specifically design phones with flaws that allow for more frequent insurance claims or replacements

HTC One has 3d?
No the evo 3d did.. he was making the point that instead of funding fads (came out with the boom of 3D in media eith movies etc) they should fund practical projects like water resistant builds.
My theory is anything that makes your phone too sturdy wouldn't get approval as income from insurance and replacements would significantly drop.

Sweet Mercy that looks painful!
Nice hack though, I'm always on the lookout for interesting hardware mods!
Question though, mine has started cracking too... anything other than aesthetics affected by it? Heart rate monitor or dust ingress? It would be good to know what to expect if my crack starts expanding... maybe I should dremel it preemptively?
Eek, how did you break it like that?!
Let me guess your real job is a butcher!

call motorola and get a free replacement. No reason to have a cracked back! You even get a free charging cradle out of the whole thing (and I think the replacements are stronger because I haven't had an issue since I got it swapped)

I'm in that situation where I bought it from someone who bought it in the US, and I find myself in Canada... And Motorola isn't capable of shipping me a replacement, unless I give them a US based address... Seems like too much of a hassle really, everything else is fine, and it had this tiny crack when I bought it (the guy had small wrists, much smaller than mine). I check it every night before I put it on the charger, hasn't expanded at all.
Given some horror stories I've read online of DOA units, dead pixels that aren't covered by warranty and other things, I'd rather stick with my perfectly functional one . Worst case, I'll just dremel the edges to reduce strain.
Thanks for the advice though! :good:

The cracks happen when using wrong bands. The metal bands push against the glass back and they crack the glass. Normally the back won't crack when using the genuine strap. I had the pebble steel on the moto360 and saw the glass started damaging so I removed it. If I had it still on then it would have cracked almost certainly
There sure are! At Southern Straps we have NATOs for the MOTO 360
Check us out when you get the chance. Out straps come with a Lifetime Warranty and our founder came from the Android Wear project.
Our bands fit Apple, Pebble and all Android Wear watches!
I was wondering when and if this would happen. Lasted about 6 months and through about 9 surf sessions. This was session 10. I have a surf watch, but forget to swap it out sometimes. The funny thing is that it still works great, just lost a third of the screen. The damage was about a third more two days ago, but has receded a bit since then. Hope version 4 is a little more waterproof. Still love this watch. [emoji106]

33ft down with LTE wow that would be record breaking wifi surfing..... (pun intended)
On the SWR50 webpage (at SmartWatch 3 SWR50), Sony is very clear about sea water:
The SmartWatch 3 is water and dust protected as long as you follow a few simple instructions: you can’t take the SmartWatch 3 deeper than 10m of water and for longer than 30 minutes; and the water should be fresh water. Casual use in chlorinated pools is permitted provided the SmartWatch 3 is rinsed in fresh water afterwards. No seawater and no salt water pools. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The SmartWatch 3 has an Ingress Protection rating of IP68.

I had no doubt that the seal would fail at some point. Like I said, the salt water exposure was unintentional. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. It still works great, and I'm looking forward to the day that a true sports smartwatch comes our way.

A sports watch ought to be salt-water proof. If for no other reason than to protect against sweat. I hope the SmartWatch 4 will correct this problem.

Yeah, I have thought about hat, but though I do not go deep, when I get pitched, and I do get pitched a lot, there is a lot of force involved. So, I wonder about the risk.
