managed to drop my nexus in the toilet!

AND IT LIVES!
hah i was surprised at myself for how non hesitant i was to reach in and grab that sucker soooo fast
lucky for me it was in a clean toilet in my home
anyways
void sticker didnt even get touched
immediately ripped out the battery
let it sit in paper towels for a bit
and then put it in a warm place near a heater just not very close
two hours later i dared to turn it on and im totally safe ^_^
its been a few days now with no problems at all!

you should put it in a bowl of dry rice just in case

does it feel nice to the face? haha glad it survived. Sure way to know if you have the peeling screen issue. Seems like yours is sealed 100000% no dust for you!

You shouldnt be using the porn app in the bathroom, dude.

I think you two may be the first people I've seen mention their sexual orientation on XDA, lol...

I dropped my Treo 600 in a freakin lake about 2 months after getting it. I dove in and got it, threw it in the boat and it was dead, dead, dead. Took it home and it sat on the counter the remainder of my vacation. At first you could see the unit exhibiting small signs of life and eventually it came back and worked 100%. Sometimes miracles happen

lol funny thread
[x] would read again

Wow, I'm surprised your Nexus One still works dude.. guess HTC's testing process did do some good. Or, you just got extremely lucky somehow.
On an off-topic side note, did anyone notice in the video where the Nexus One fell, the screen did not crack? I assume this was an almost final version of the product? Why though, does when people drop their phones on the concrete it still breaks? If HTC went through this rigorous testing process, why are phones breaking so easily?.. Of course glass breaks easily, but did the material they dropped the phone on was not as dense or hard enough as concrete? Or was it simply the multiple angles they tried..

In the video it looks like the phones are dropped from what appears to be rather less than hand-holding height, onto a surface that appears to be slightly rubbery. Concrete tends to be rather unforgiving no matter what you drop on it.

In December, I dropped my HTC Magic into a kid's swimming pool, left it to dry for one day and it's still in great working condition today =)

Did this exact same thing to my old Nokia 8190 back in the day, and the bowl wasn't "fresh". Phone came out fine other than the battery life dropped to 6-8 hours of standby, ended up carrying a spare in my wallet.

Oh lol, nice reaction tho..

OOOOhh Myyyyy Goooosshhhh I would have totally gone hysterical.
I had a google Ion that I paid toooo furkin much for and dropped the bloody thing on the pavement and scuffed it - I nearly had to have counselling I was so gutted.
Its excellent to know it wasn't killed, was the screen off when it went in?
I have porn on my nexus, but only the stuff I wrote myself (see sig)

WTH!! My SGS is melting down

Hello everyone
Well, I've had my Galaxy for about six weeks now & I'm deeply madly in love with it, best phone I've ever had.
Yesterday I was playing some games on it with my friends, GPS, WiFi maybe Bluetooth were on, it was charging as well, then phone started overheating, it got hot, like very very hot, but we didn't stop, minutes after that -believe it or not- it started melting down, it was even possible to reshape it with my hands, I then turned it off and unplugged the battery.
Scary ha?? I can swear to you guys, this is the worst nightmare I've had in months, yep, it was a dream a bad one.
Sorry to scare you guys, but, c'mon, I mean Melting Down!!! Anyway, when I woke up, I was so happy that I kissed my Galaxy

Once my captivate was sitting in a black sweater in the sun while it was 110F degrees and it became too hot to touch. No surprise there though.

Lol nice story... Freaked me out at first though...

Same here
Hahahaha nice one
Mine fell or something, can't remember exactly what happened.
At first there was just a small crack. No biggie and I didn't really worry about it.
But the next time I looked the crack had grown to a bullet hole. I could look through the hole. Now I was really worried! Would the guarantee cover this?
Indeed one of those dreams when your happy to wake up.

FREAKIN BULLET HOLE!!!!! this is so awesomely awesome but I can't follow u, is it dream?? or did it really happen
it would be a good story too, just tell everybody that some assassin tried to snipe u, and ur beloved SGS jumped and took a bullet for you, touching ha?

this story is not far from truth
did you guys see the previous 2 topics about this issue?
one was made by me, then just the last 5 days there was another one
this phone does gets really really HOT when used at max speed with or without the charger, it gets hotter if you keep it charging.

Did you played with SetCPU?

Having nightmares about an OC fail into 4Ghz, c'mon, .. it's a phone for crying out loud!

Not a bad dream ....just a bad experience ! Meltdown!!!
for no obvious reason my completely STOCK razr hd melted down while i was showing someone how one would boot into recovery even though mine had no recovery i got the android exclamation then powered down from there once powered down it began to heat up drastically to the point of me watching the inside of the audio jack melt then me not being able to even hold it.obviously the phone is ruined and i feel pretty discouraged considering i had only had the phone about 3 months does anyone have any idea why this wouldve happened ? also does anyone have any old android they would want to trade for a melted down razr hd cause i need a phone maybe a 1st generation atrix or something similiar seeing as how i also have the lapdock ..thx in advance..jsn

Thanks for posting it here and thanks for the videos

so no one noticed that the Gorilla Glass has come away from the chassis? don't believe me? look at the top right hand edge of the device, the glass has gone translucent, and if you quickly pause, you'll notice a line running down both left, and right edges of the glass, at first i thought it was the chrome bezel... it's not... explains speeding the video up, hides these mistakes. TBH still a good case, but throwing it off the roof of a building is a tad extreme.

Polish your specs
That is a bubble in the screen protector and the edges of the screen protector, not damage to the glass.

I have hay fever eyes so you maybe right, however why does it get worst throughout the video ???

WOW! at 1.30" the iPhone was gone and the SGS III was still recognizable. Amazing.

S3 lasted long...... Cheap plastic for the win
《swagged from aokp》

Lol...

Silly - yes

This guy is going to die an early death of cancer if he keeps doing stuff like this without at least wearing a dust mask. Hasn't he read about all of the poisonous and cancer-causing substances found in mobile phones and their batteries? When I saw the wisps of black dust rising as he opened the blender, this was the first thing I thought.

You have to have a very powerful blender to do this, and that iPhone was totaly destroyed before the S3 began to lose shape XD
S3 FTW

I don't think the smoke you see is the smoke from the actual remains. And besides when you see each phone inside the blender with their screens on, the camera changes before the mixer starts. I'm calling fake.

Xperia Z1 drop test

Post if you have done the same.
Disclaimer: Not for faint heart. Do not try this..

It hurts bruh!!

If you are thinking of doing this, wait for the killer at the end...glad to know I will have a nice looking paperweight if I drop it 3 times
But nice find.

But I'm really impressed with the vertical drop, where the speakers landed first. I expected the chassis to be filled with dents and holes from the rough surface. But damn our phones are sturdy man!

"Post if you have done the same"
Seriously, who in their right mind would do this on purpose to this piece of beauty

I'm actually surprised it holds so well (well, except for not working afterwards anymore hehe).

Of course the video has been edited, shots from different angles have been put into one video... not all footage is equally interesting. But edited does not mean fake... I at least don't see any reason to believe this would be fake.

I don't like that video. As have been told, they didn't record it straight without video cutting also they didn't show if it works between falls, they didn't try to call if problem is only with display. If I want to guess what is wrong with that device I would rather say that only ribbon cable don't have good connection than device is broken.

You should understand guys that these people are sponsored. They might be getting so much from apple or sammy or lg, or even nokia. They need to make the competition look bad so that people would look the other way around. Sometimes they use these kinds of diversion "Oh I'm really surprised that the phone is holding up so well. The screen might be broken, chassis is junk, back plate/plastic/glass is also broken, but on the lighter side the phone still works flawlessly." ORR "This phone works quite well, but I just can't accept the fact that the loudspeaker isn't good enough."
About the loudspeaker diversion, they're just looking for something negative for their closing remarks. Because that's what usually sticks to people, the closing remarks.

Well, and one should always remember that one instance is no guarantee for other instances...
In these drop tests it can matter quite a bit if the angle in which the phone hits the pavement is just that bit off, or whatever other random influence. It is just AN indication, some ppl drop their phone once and it's immediately shattered. Others drop the same phone 10 times wth only minor dents as a result.
But my response was mainly because people shout "FAKE" or "PHOTOSHOPPED" at just about every video or picture posted on the internet, it was nothing personal @gm007

So don't worry, that phone is much better that one can think. Still I'm totally buying this phone to replace my Motocrap Atrix, and hope it lasts with me many years.

I was wearing shorts that had a shallow pocket and the unthinkable happened today. The Z1 dropped several times out of my pocket and hit the ground. Surprisingly no marks or dents. Thank God! lol

SEVERAL TIMES? Dude, no offense, but are you retarded? after the first time, did you not think to yourself "maybe this isnt the best place to put the phone"?
And for the people saying about being fake? what? why would it be? a) the unit was probably free from sony anyway.. if not then b) the views they get on youtube for that video most likely pays for the cost of the phone. and c) they do this drop test with most of the phones they review. so remind me again why this could be fake?

The reason they didn't show the phone working after each drop, is probably coz it broke after the first drop, which meant that there was no point in carrying on with the drop test. And they wanted to carry on with the drop tests. That's all!! Stop with the bribing nonsense.
