Theoretically it is possible, pickle juice is relatively acidic, dont know how much battery power pickle juice would add.

WHOA, THIS GUY WASN'T LYING LOL.
I took off my back cover while it was charging to smell it, and I could smell a faint pickle juice smell. ?
Yo Samsung, is this why our batteries are crap? PICKLE JUICE? >.>

Hahhahahah I always wondered why my battery smelled like that lol...mines smells like that too

As soon as I saw this thread title, I had to check; sure enough, right along the top edge, it smells of raw coconut.
What's even odder about that is that I'm the second owner.
mine smells like....... nothing...
wtf is wrong with all your phones... lol
Pina Vibrant?
That's wild mine does too. Wonder if it tastes like pina colada too ummmm nope
Really weird, it does. You gotta whiff it though, the true bizarre question is how do people figure this out? Haha.

Sounds like yours is due for a warranty exchange.
haha yea, I noticed this when I first got the phone and have to do a few battery pull, then I notice a smell(it smell good btw)
try to take out the battery cover and take a whiff at it
I'm sure its something protective because a lot of heat is transfered to the top of the phone if you remove the back of the case its actually a stronger smell the closer you get to the speaker
2 of my virabts and my brother vibrannts had the same smell at first I though my chip wad getting burnt rofl..

That group of people probably have good intentions but are in error. The Bible also cautions us about speculations as well which can cause more harm than good and in most cases mislead others. I think this is one of those "speculations."
I think this group missed the bus

Agreed. But I expect that from someone that lives their life according to a fictional book. The education system has failed us in the US and these primitive sky wizard worshipers are a prime example of what happens when you don't pay attention in school. Instead of warning our kids about drugs we should be warning them about crazy sky wizard worshipers because they are the real threat to their future and the future of humanity as a whole.

Yeah but if it is a Vibrant chances are his location services will fail him and have him in the wrong time zone so he will miss it anyway. And he can't call you to check up on the time either because he doesn't know about the mute and un-mute trick you have to do to be heard. Bad news all around if the all mighty sky wizard uses a Vibrant!
Its hard for god to begin the judgement day coz of the time zones on earth and lol good pic..

The guy in charge of this little movement also said the same thing in 94 or something like that. Oh and all the money he gets is a tax right off. Think the last time he made lots. Reports said 100 million, but he is pretty sure he'd right this time. Lol. He also has some real nice tour busses, and was at the super bowl for a week prior in the wtf expensive rv lot and a nice luxury box to boot.
Heard this stuff on the radio local seattle station. So they must have found the information someplace

Please please, if I pay 200 for a device. I shouldn't have dust under my screen. This much is just unacceptable. Now if you wanna be a smart ass. Leave it to the pm's.

Ok this is what you do. Get your phone. Put it in the microwave. MAKE SURE IT IS SCREEN UP. Set microwave to defrost. Watch the pretty colors. Remove phone. Let it cool. Viola, no more dust.

dust is dead skin, so its probably your fault, stop dropping dead skin on your phone. Problem solved.

Liquipel I777

Has anyone sent their Galaxy S ii(I777) to Liquipel? I know it's not an option on their list of phones but they still let you send your device. I sent my device on Friday and will receive it back this week, you guys interested in knowing that if it actually works? Ill post up a video of my Galaxy S ii I777 getting ''Wet'' on.

Update! I just posted a video on my Liquipiel-ed Device.

Looks interesting but since I got my very first dumbphone I never had problems with getting water on it.
It opens up possibilities, but nothing I need at the moment.
Passing it on to my foolish friends though, so thanks for that!
No problem!
So it makes it water resistant but not proof right?

Wasn't there a video recently of a guy with a GSII that he put in a bucket of water and called his phone? I seem to remember that it lit up and displayed normally.
Yeah I've actually been waiting to see if this catches on.. Good stuff!
sent from my Galaxy SIII ...haha jk, I FOiLed ya!
I want see more reviews as its really new. But This is real. And does work. Here is how.
Hydrophobic nanocules are applied via vacuum. Thus coating the outside AND INSIDE from water molecules (which are bigger than the nanocules) thus can't get in and create a conduction.
It is rated itx-7 meaning it is waterproof to up to 30min at 1 meter (3feet) depth... Jeez. So i wanna go swimming with it

But if you DO drop your phone in a pool or the toilet, you'll be out more than $70 and a week anyway.

Its not meant for warranty purposes.. This is just for anyone that wants to protect their device from water damage.
Im sure it voids the warranty..
*edit* .. I think they are also trying to get in with (somebody.. I forget, but they mentioned it at CES).. so that phones come with the Liquipel protection - which is a great idea but than the suppliers end up losing money because of not having to replace asany phones.. Not sure how it all works but somebody loses potential mula

i played with this stuff at CES this year. It was Fascinating! They used the stuff on a Napkin and had it sitting in a pool of water. When you pushed the napkin around in the water it never got wet and just rolled off (unless you were extremely harsh with it).
Quite impressive to see. You could also see the water interacting with the screen as it splashed against it (showing that its not just a "fake" cover)

There is one on the battery and one somewhere in the phone.... Not sure where though.
Ya the battery one tho can be swapped out so not trust worthy . The one in the phone is what you need to look at .

Yes, there is one on the battery, and one on the phone somewhere. On the OG Evo is was near the charging port, not sure about the 3d though.
The sticker should be white with a few red (pink) X's. if it's a solid color, it has water damage. Next time, be sure to check the phone before buying a used one.
The water damage sticker for the phone its self its located on the back of the phone under the top right screw. You have to look between the slot. And obviously remove the battery cover.
