Hello everyone!!
It has been 3 months since I bought my Samsung Galaxy Wonder. With CM9, I enjoy my phone a lot! And it is simply awesome :good: :good:
But because of the same reason. Overuse of my phone. My dad is gonna keep my phone when the next school year starts!! And I may either get back Galaxy Wonder. OR buy a new one in the second term. I still have about a month before school year starts. I know I am quite useless in XDA cause I don't know how to develop things. But I love the XDA Galaxy Wonder thread!!
Now I have a few questions to ask. In case if I really only get my wonder back but not a new phone..:
1) My phone is gonna be kept in a normal room in the Mainland China, Where my dad stays all weekdays. The normal room is with Air-conditioner. And it is not gonna be too wet or somthing. I mean the condition of the room. So after 4 months, second term. when i get it back, will i be able to use it back as normal? Like. Will I be able to normally turn on, and boot normally? cause i am gonna leave it alone for 4 months... really 4 months without turning on
2) For leaving it here 4 months. Will the buttons be functional when i get it back on again? Cause my previous phone was HTC Wildfire S. I dropped it into a big bowl of water and the power button and the volume up button is not working properly after leaving it alone for 3 months. Will the same thing happen to my wonder when i turn it on again? (I have never dropped the wonder into water. Of course I hope I won't drop it into water.. LOL keep it away from my toilet) Please answer I am really worried about it..
Okay. I have one month to go before I really say goodbye to XDA Galaxy Wonder!! And hope somebody can answer my question!! Of course. I am still gonna stick to XDA Galaxy Wonder in term 2 no matter I have W back as daily use, OR a new one. I will miss the XDA Galaxy W thread in these 4 months!
Happy ROM-Flashing.
You mean not usage in 4 months? Thats a long period a time. Im curious too. >=D

Brian, if the room isn't too wet, it will resist the 4 months period. And the buttons will work too. People in clowdy/rainy places use their cellphones and nothing happens. Why shoud your phone damage itself by being still in a normal room?
I'm guessing that after 4 months of inactivity, it will not turn on, because the battery charge is 0%. After you plug it to a charger, the phone should work normally. Why not?

Recommendation from the battery fabrication: charge your battery about 40% - 50% before you store it for long period.

Yes, I've read it too. Brian, follow opexblues's advice.
"For long-term storage, manufacturers recommend a 40 percent charge. This allows for some self-discharge while still retaining sufficient charge to keep the protection circuit active. Finding the ideal state-of-charge is not easy; this would require a discharge with appropriate cut-off. Do not worry too much about the state-of-charge; a cool and dry place is more important than SoC. "

Hey
I got two Samsung Star S5230 layin' in a normal Room.
They are layin' there for about 6 Months...
I just turned both on, and they work great.
But I had to charge it before, of course.
It works without a Problem.
I don't think it will "destroy" itself in a normal Room
Good luck tho

Only 40-50? What if I charge it to 100? Is it okay? Cause it is difficult to see if it is 40 while charging

If the experts advise 40-50%, it's better to do that way. Just unplug the charger and see how much battery is available. Or go to battery info or something similar.

If you are worried about water comming to your phone you can always put a small layer of rice under it. so the water won't reach the phone.
Just something i heard though
Gratz
Charge the battery to 40-50%, and remove from the phone.
Put the phone and the battery into two resealable plastic bags.
Put the two plastic bags into a big plastic bag, fill the big bag with Silica Gel *or* other desiccant.
Seal the big bag until it's waterproof, airproof if possible.

Actually it is NOT at all normal. I own 3 samsung products: Galaxy s3, Tab 7.0plus and Note2. All come with charger and only the Note 2 charger is letting out the buzzing/hissing sound. It's especially loud at night. I called the service center and the girl immediately asked if I am having the white one. She said that this problem has been reported a few times (by Note2 owners) and I was told to wait for a call from the tech side. Not sure what the outcome will be. Hopefully I get a replacement.
Yes, it is getting louder and frankly very irritating. I better get it changed too.
Mine too is loose..not sure why..but if compare to note 1, it is really loose and easy popup if i excidently touch the cable..

LOL somehow this thread cracked me up inside.
OP should treat this as a nice feature and test if it is consistent, i.e., try it couple more times and see if it is indeed a *feature rather than *accident. If it's a feature, it's a feature that I don't mind having on my phone
Certainly not a feature, but I do find it annoying how easy it is to knock the cable out of the socket when it's charging. The microUSB doesn't seem to lock in place like it does with other phones.
I charge my white GN2 on my bedside table each night and never heard any buzzing from it, either.
hi...guys...
i bought a note 2 tmobile version, it said "to repair" has a bad digitizer etc etc...ok so far...i thought.. i buy a new lcd and it'll be ok.. but the thing in this phone is that i read " battery water damage has been activated" and its like i didnt read it. according to the item description. the phone charge the battery, turn on (the buttons lights up but need a new lcd/digitizer in order to see the display working) and you can see the phone files on the pc.... obiously i made a big mistake here... the question that comes to me: it is possible that the phone still works, (or is there a possibility to fix it), i mean.. a phone with water damage turn on, charge and can it be plugged in the pc? i dont have the phone yet..
It's unlikely to work, but try placing the phone inside of a bag dry rice for a day or 2. It draws moisture out of the phone.
Also, maybe it is only the battery that is damaged, not the phone.
I am unsure about how to fix water damaged phones though. Hopefully you get it working, sorry about your phone

i hope you guys be right, i sent him a message and here is the answer :
the water marker on the phone is pink but the one on the battery is fine. I bought this from someone as is. All I know is it seems to work. Computer recognized it, charger light works, and menu buttons light up when pressed. Haven't heard sounds from it but I assumed the volume is turned down
It might just be ok man just try to fix it and see

Rice is really poor dessicant. It's better than nothing but if you can get your hands on a good amount of silica gel that would be better. Dell ships their pc's with a big bag of silica gel in the box. Check your local best buy and see if they have any that they pulled from pc boxes that you can have. If not, you might be able to get it at home depot or Lowe's or maybe a shipping store like the UPS or FedEx store.

yeah.. i wanna believe the water damage marker activated didnt cause some serious damage in the note, ...as our friend kintwofan mentioned, may be the damage was only the speaker/microphone.. anyway im gonna do the rice thing....
when i get the phone, i will fix the and post some pictures....
I've just received it in the post. Just trying to figure out the instructions.
Once plugged in i have a solid red light and a flashing blue light.
I assume this means charging the battery bank?
What does the silver button actually do?
Thanks

I've got two. One was never used. Took bout an hour to get a full change. (No flashing blue lights.) The other I have used a few times to top up the phone. I never did fully charge this one before use. Been charging for quite awhile now.
I left it on overnight! Lol

I doesn't take long to charge the battery pack if you have a good power supply to plug it into. I am using a 12w usb charging adapter and it seems to work fine. Phone charges quickly wirelessly haven't tried wired much except to see that it does work. Also both work at the same time! I am liking it but have only had it a couple of days so far.
Almost forgot the manual is horribly written, truly the worst manual I have ever personally seen. It looks like it was written by a 10 year old kid whose second language is English. It probably even worse than a google translation! LOL In fact I would almost bet thats what they did to write the Engrish part.

I wouldn't know about NFC. How do I check that?
I'm on my second Lugulake after the first one stopped charging after 3 days. The wifi worked but the battery would not hold a charge. They sent me a replacement unit.
I got mine through Amazon.
The unit works great as it has a good surface area, and using the usb cable, I'm able to plug it into my cigarette lighter in my car to charge wirelessly. I like the fact I can unplug and essentially still have a charging I can take anywhere without a plug.
The only gripe I really have is for a 70 dollar item, it feels flimsy. It's made of all plastic and it feels more like a 30 dollar item.
I'll be able to test it out further during the Thanksgiving holidays to make sure this isn't another faulty unit.

Hello guys;
So i just bought my new One plus 3 yesterday and i feel from the first day of using it an electricity in my hands
so im worried is that dangerous for health?
and this electricity happens cause of the dash charging?
and can be avoided if i use a normal charger?
and BTW i did not use it while charging.
Really? Maybe try turn the phone off and see if you can feel the same thing.

That's a problem in your home electric wiring to be specific it's ground (earthing) related problem. You don't have to worry about it. It's quite normal if you remove screen protector you will also feel it on your screen (gorilla glass)
Strange. You are not related to Thor in anyway?
I would recommend checking the wiring in your house, have an expert to diagnose the issue. There seems to be a bad ground on that plug.
