I put my nexus in the fridge/frezzer sometimes. That bad??? You know cool it off. Would that damage it???
Gets to hot that my ass would start to burn.
Lol, glad to hear I'm not the only one! Sometimes I do toss it in the fridge for 5-15 minutes after heavy usage. It gets pretty hot and my hands start to sweat.
...
Take the battery out and sit in down.

Tried that. It's get hot again in seconds once it boots. I just shove it in the fridge/freezer while it's on and it cools way faster.
If you let the battery cool by taking it out and it instantly gets hot there is something wrong with your phone.
Putting it in the freezer when it is very hot is also probably a bad idea.

Moisture content.
From a cold place to a warmer place would introduce moisture via condensation. Zap, zap, zap. Wheee!
Depending on duration and durability of course.
Yo could always seal it in a plastic bag and lock out everything else to prevent any moisture from entering.

I wouldn't suggest this, I do inventory for a fast food restaurant and I obviously walk in and out of the freezer in the process
I pulled out my thunderbolt to check something and it was acting laggy so I rebooted
After that it would not boot past the splash screen, but it would boot to the boot loader. If you haven't used a HTC phone before it has an option in the boot loader that displays hardware failures, and wouldnt you know it shorted out something that caused it not to boot
So now I leave my phone outside of the freezer
Also it shouldn't matter if the phone gets hot, it will shut off if its going to harm itself

Condensation -> water -> you know what will happen..
Edit:
Condensation -> Water -> Electricity from your battery -> Not pretty.
Aside from condensation...
Hot CPU components that are rapidly cooled and visa-versa = weakening of the solder...
Also going from high heat to very cold could cause rapid contraction of the case and maybe break the screen or something. Taking the battery out seems like a much better solution.

If the phone is getting so hot you feel that you have to put it in the freezer, then something is wrong with the phone. Try to have it replaced.
The only phone part I ever put in the freezer was my old EVO 4g battery because I accidentally let it run out completely and it would.not charge.

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?

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

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.

If the little white paper thing on the top of the battery turns pink or goes away completely does that only mean that it has been damaged by water? And does it make the battery any less better? And is there anyway maybe to fix it?

I can't speak for whether there is a moisture indicator on the battery. What I can say is that even if the battery was wet at one point, as long as it was dried properly, it shouldn't impact the performance of the battery.
Yes that is a moisture indicator, but a little water shouldn't harm your battery. Mine turned pink from the 700% humidity we have here in the summers.

Ya I think my batteries may have gotten a little wet one day when they were in my backpack and it was raining on me and since then I kinda feel like they haven't been as great as before... but even the one that was in my phone hasn't been working so well either so it most likely is my phone I just have no idea what is it that's killing my battery.

batteries do degrade over time -- how long have you had the battery? there are many choices for battery replacements online as cheap as $5 depending on where you look.

NOT true... have you ever opened a battery to see the little ribbon with micro pieces on them? after a liquid is spilled on them it will corrode because there is no way of taking power away to let it dry the right way. if you get a battery damp there shouldn't be a problem. but wet and submerged are 2 different stories and you can risk frying your board from incorrect voltage being applied through the battery output.

Hence the reason I said "a little water". Obviously, submerging your phone for more than a second or 2 will lead to damage down the road, but getting a small amounts of liquid on a battery won't lead to immediate failure.

I'd recommend just buying a new battery. I had my phone get completely wet before, I put both the phone and the battery in a ziplock bag full of rice and left it there for a couple days. Plugged the battery back in and it worked.
But buying a new battery would be the best bet to not further damage your phone.
I guess I will buy a new one just to test it out.
But I still feel like my phone is doing something wrong because I'm using my friends 3500mAh battery and it gives me the same results I used to get with my 1500 ones. I get a little more than 3 hours on screen time and about 20 hours total, which isn't so great for a 3500 battery. I'm gonna try going back to stock for a while and seeing what happens.

well not mine actually, but check the link. this is the first im hearing of anything like this...discuss
This is my first time posting so cut me some slack! Also not sure if this is the best place to post this.
Last night at about 3:15am EST (about 1 hour after i plugged it in and went to sleep) I was awoken by a loud noise and a weird squeaking sound. (I charge my phone while I'm sleeping on my bed right next to me)
So, I woke up, and saw a ton of smoke coming out of my phone -- it also smelled REALLY bad. Half asleep, I jumped out of bed and turned the light on, only to see that my phone was just beginning to go on fire. I dumped a glass of water I had in the room on it to stop it from burning...then woke up my brother to come help. The smoke smelled so bad and wafted through the entire second floor of my house. I had a foam mattress pillow top that had a hole burned through it too--which we later threw out because it was still burning throughout. Also, some of the plastic on my phone was melting and kind of shooting out of it, and some landed on my pinky finger and burned some skin off (very small burn though).
Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do? Call Verizon? Samsung? Have a lawyer call them? I'd also like to get some type of replacement phone in the meantime...
Here are the pictures
EDIT: People keep requesting pictures of the battery. Here they are
ALSO: To answer many questions: EVERYTHING was stock/Samsung that I had received when I purchased my phone. Stock battery, charger, etc. Additionally, my phone was NOT rooted.
Edit 2: Thanks so much for all of your comments and insight. The real big question here is -- Do you think I have an actual legal case? As in, a product liability case. Or, do you think I'm better off taking what the PR team will give me? (Perhaps, a new phone, new mattress, etc)? I did not suffer any TRULY substantial damages to myself or personal property. I am really tossed up on this...Any advice would be appreciated.

If there's even a case. Sounds like he just wants to be reimbursed for the phone and damage done to his bed. It also sounds like he doesn't even care about the burn to his finger.
If he does file a lawsuit, I sure hope his phone was stock (I have no idea how they would check now) and that he was using the stock battery. I'm sure samsung is going to bring up the wall charger and micro usb cable as well.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Im sorry, but in my opinion, things like this shouldnt always warrant a lawsuit. Does anybody really think that Samsung is guilty of wrongdoing here? Yeah it sucks and is scary that it happened, but just file an insurance claim to replace the bed and phone and move on with life.
How many GS3s have been sold now, plus all the extra batteries and only one has done this? Pretty good if you ask me.
Sounds like it was probably just a faulty battery or something like that.
Anyway, like I said its just my opinion and thought id share it.

This actually happened to me also so I know what he is going through. I set my phone down to charge. I woke up about an hour later to a plastic burning smell. I grabbed my phone and it was literally melting. Not on fire, just extremely hot and I ended up burning my fingers. I immediately pulled the battery out. Let it cool off (the smell didn't go away) and then it powered back on and has been charging normally ever since. It's kinda scary to think what would happen if I didn't wake up and notice my phone almost blowing up.

Oh yes they got it months ago. But this happened while charging, in the air conditioning. So there was no reason for it to be that hot. When I turned it on there was no program in the battery list which was eating up the battery so it is very strange.

well accidentally left my M8 on top of my car's trunk today during light to medium rain for 30 minutes plus. makes me mad because i was like 10 feet from it and ultimately just forgot about it. i turned the screen on and everything was working but immediately turned it off and when i got home put it in some rice. hopefully it lives up to be rain proof haha. not sure how long to leave it in for since the only openings are the speakers and USB port?
i have no idea how long to leave it in rice but please post updates!

Yesterday I spilled a whole glass of carbonated water on it. Water covered bottom half on the phone including speakers. There was apsolutely no damage, I just wiped it with shirt and speakers were working normally immediately.
I'm just hoping that won't be any problems in the future because of that splash.
Mine got some water splashed on it and the screen immediately died. Used adb to quickly shut it off, and did the rice thing overnight. Phone powers on fine, gets calls, and even registers touch on the screen, but it stays black. The water indicator under the flash wasn't tripped, but not sure if there are others inside.
Pretty upset having this two week old phone get ruined by a small spill, especially after watching a video where one is submerged for over half and hour still working >_<
