I know that the z1 compact is water resistant (Clear water) but can it resist other liquids like (Cola--Salty water--water mixed with chloride) :what:
yes, when I bought mine a year ago, my first underwater shots were taken in the beach. so salty water is ok. just wash/rinse it with fresh water after soaking it in any liquid other than fresh water. you don't want corrosion in your headphone jack. don't let sea water dry on it. wash it right away.

Hello xda! This is my first post here, but I've been reading and working off of the hacking forums for a while. I own a Captivate, and I've been having some issues with my screen protector.
Every time I try to get a clean environment, I always end up with dust under my screen protector. I've read on other forums that the best method to ensure a dust-free adhesion is to do the application in a humid bathroom, and to use a drop of soapy water on the sticky side of the protector. Is the Captivate sufficiently water-resistant so that squeegeeing the water into the border of the screen wouldn't cause problems?
I wouldn't be asking if the phone had a borderless screen, but the way it's designed makes me nervous. I just want to be sure those cracks don't lead anywhere.
Thanks, I really appreciate what this forum does for Android users!
Yes. That's how most soft protectors are applied. I've applied two different kinds with a soapy water solution. Note; you only need a light mist. Some packages even come with a spray bottle just for this. I've read that liquid dish soap works best as other things like hand soap leaves residue (hand moisturizers and such).
However, another method I like to use is to simply install the screen protector outdoors (obviously away from heavily pollenated areas). You'd be surprised at how much less dust there is in that big scary place with the blue ceiling.
Humid bathroom means you're running a warm shower. If the mirrors and the screen protector are fogging up it's too humid.
I take a bowl and put 2 squeezes of soap into it and then stir it with my finger. Then I dip the screen protector into the bowl (don't forget which side is the sticky one), making sure its thoroughly covered as well as my fingers.
Shake off as much of the soapy water as possible then quickly stick the screen protector on and use your thumbs to slide it in the correct position. Squeege as much water out as possible but otherwise give it a full day or two to dry.
Oh, and take the battery/SIM out of course
Your phone will be fine. Like JPS81 said, use liquid dish soap and just a little bit. Also, when you do the mix, let it sit for 10-15 minutes or until the bubles go away, it will be a whole lot easier when applying the protector. If you are still scare, when you are using the squeege or credit card to take the water out, use a cotton cloth so it can absorb the excess water.
I installed a Bodyguardz screen and full body protector on my Captivate. That requires wetting the protectors and it worked out just fine. I've also done it with Blackberries which have much more spaces liquid can get into and had no problems.
As long as you dry up the drops that squeeze out of the sides, the phone will not really get wet inside. Makes sense to allow it to dry out a bit before putting the battery back in just in case.
I accidentally dropped my Captivate in a bowl of water and it was completely submerged for a few seconds. I took it out, and after wiping it dry it was as good as new.
Applied using this method for the first time with two Captivates - it works great, and even if a little water enters the speaker or the sides, it doesn't hurt it. Anything less than submerging the protectors in water yields really ugly results.
Hey guys, does the defy have a coating on the PCB and stuff inside to protect itself from water or is the only thing preventing water from entering are the port covers? So if the port covers are worn out or missing the phone would no longer be water resistant?
In short: No, it hasn't got any coating...
And it's not only the port covers. There's a watertight sealing around the battery and the speakers are also watertight.
In fact, the former IP67 certification, when it comes to water, covered only 10 minutes (or was it 30?) in a maximum depth of 1m, when the water temperature didn't differ more than 5°C from the temperature of the phone...
I washed my Defy under flowing water a few times and i don't mind using it in heavy rain. But I would never put it under water, as I don't know how much the port covers wear overtime...

So I have a scuff on my screen that's not rubbing out with water or my finger or shirt.. it's not scratched, just scuffed. But a paIn In the ass one. Not damage Into the screen.. any ideas how to get it off? Screen cleaner doesn't help
So a what? A smudge? If you mean damage glass then nothing will fix it easily. If you mean a substance then try distilled water with some rubbing alcohol. Since it sounds like damage to the glass, you might be out of luck.
few days ago I broke the screen of my Z1C, I bought a new one with glue adhesive, does anyone know if doing a good job my Z1C after changing screen will still be resistant to water
I would say that logic dictates if it was water proof before, and you do as you say "a good job" then it should be water proof afterwards.
Hey all, probably a 1 in a 1,000,000 situation happened to me this morning. I was fixing something in the house with Gorilla Glue gel super glue and dumb me touched the inner screen with some residue on my finger. I didn't notice it until a few hours later and there were 4ish small marks that looked like scratches but were glue prints. I freaked out, OMG what I have just done. Thank the Lord, I got it all removed.
1. Took alcohol prep wipe to screen and lightly rubbed until pad dry, it removed a little but not much.
2. Laid dry alcohol wipe on marks, then applied Goo Gone to pad. Lightly rubbed, and left for 10min to soak.
3. After soaking rubbed lightly the cotton pad soaked in Goo Gone, like 80% of the mark is now gone.
4. Took a fresh new Mr Clean Magic Eraser standard, wet it, squeezed it, and rubbed the remaining marks gently, to my prayers, it removed all the remaining marks.
No scuffs, no marks, no sign of it ever happening. Whew!
LUCKY and good on you for getting it cleaned! Thanks for the tip and I hope I am never in this situation!
Lucky is right!
I HATE CA fingers, that's what we call it when you have that stuff all over your fingers that's hard and even harder to get off.
Just remember the cleaner your fingers are the longer that protector will stay pristine. At MOH2 it doesn't take much to abrade it.
I act if superglue is acid. (Which it is)
And make sure to not have anything else around. And always deep wash my hands before touching anything else.
