I just got my car yesterday made a month. 2005 Impala it had a problem when I got it, the car shakes when I hit 50mph or over. I took it to the dealership and they told me all it needed was a speed balance and it's been working ever since until today. I was on 75 doing about 60mph in the last lane to the left. All of a sudden my car start with the shakes again. I got kind of nervous cause I was going around a bend so I started holding the wheel with two hands. It was still shaking so I tried to slow down but the steering wheel started to go towards the left I tried to hold it steady and pump the brake to slow down but all of a sudden the car started to slide and I tried to avoid sliding into traffic to the right. I tried to lean into the wall and the car made a loud sound I thought the tire popped and all of a sudden I smacked the left wall and slid to the other side of the freeway and hit that wall and came to a stop. No air bags deployed my OG Evo was in my pocket and the Evo 3D was on the sprint universal dock in the middle of the car right above the radio. When things cleared up my 3D was up against my cracked up windshield I thought the glass would have been cracked it only had the Sprint hard snap on case and the phone was find it just turned off and took a while to cut on. The car dock holster for the phone came completely off and was on the floor in the passenger side of the car on the floor. The car is totaled I'm pretty much glad I'm okay. The ambulance guys were like how are you okay all the tires were balled and the engine dropped and none of my airbags deployed. He said looks like I was sold a BOLD car he asked what insurance I have told him Progressive full coverage and he said I would sue cause the car look like its a lemon sale or some term with lemon in it that they sold me. The police came looked at the tired and said they were all the way down to the bridge that how ball they were he told me to file a law sue to GM for the airbag as for the tires the dealership.
Pictures up in a few minutes. Have to post them from my OG Evo
Damn, that's intense. Glad to hear you're alright. As far as the airbag issue, I bet the stealership did something to them, not GM.
omfg dood! glad you survived!
How the heck do u buy a car without A) test driving it both at low and high speeds, and B) not look at what condition the tires were in.... Your buying used, and I'm afraid to say both you and the dealership should of caught it. But I'm glad you're safe.

Yea man I appreciate it. I was so worried I didn't know what to think I just didn't want to slide into traffic. If I didn't have on a seat belt I wouldn't be here right now. It could be but I'm definitely going to try and fight it man I got a car note on that car for 15,000+ and it's totaled due to a problem I told them about and on top of that I hit two walls and dragged against one of them and the neither of the airbags came out.

I did a low speed test drive like around the blocks a few times but not a high speed after I got the car I got on the freeway and noticed it took the car back and told them about it. That's when they told me to get a speed balance. After that it was okay until today.(Edited) but I don't know much about cars I should have researched it. Thanks I appreciate it
Thank God Nuggles is okay!

I don't know, it's my first car, accident, and first time having to deal with insurance and police reports. I have nothing at all on my record so I have to research everything that I have to do when I get from the hospital I should be on my way to the hospital in a few minutes when my bro gets here.
Glad your ok man!! Dammm! Ya I was wondering about the same thing about State Inspection. Maybe the Dealership does the inspections themselves! ALOT do! And if thats the case you have an EVEN BIGGER Law Suit my man!!

Lemme tell ya about yesterday at the river standing on the dock drinking a beer and watching fireworks. My brother-in-law thought it would be SO funny if I took a little night dip in the marina and gave my slightly intoxicated self a nudge in that direction...yup. I actually thought it was hilarious when I climbed out and was laughing while popping another Bud. But wait, yep, my phone is making some strange noise in my pocket...sounds a bit like its choking! Fished it out, it flickered, then died. Than I punched him in the mouth. No REALLY. Spent today babying it and drying it out and it works except that there is river water in what looks like 3 different layers of the screen. Anyway, he's paying the deductible and my new one is on the way. Ugh, it's killed me to even look at it all day. My girlfriends been very happy and I haven't hit F5 even once in the root threads so I guess thats a plus. Just wanted to share my misery with some like-minded peeps, seems like everyone I know just doesn't understand...
Punch him again.

Lost cause, you're talking about a dude that refreshes by hitting F5.
Sorry to hear of the unfortunateness. Good to hear your getting another courtesy of brother-in-law.
The EVO line of phones seem to be a fairly robust lot. I left my table at a bar to fetch another drink and return to find my 4G in a pool of spilt vodka/sprite. It didnt turn on a first but once I took it apart (completely) and dried it out, it started it up fine. It also had turned (3) moisture indicators pink.
1. One indicator on the battery
2. Second in the battery bay
3. The third on another board inside the phone
Luckily it didnt have any water on the inside screen.
A friend has a 3D and spilled a Taco Bell sweet tea on it. Sticky stuff. Still works...
@event....nice one douche. Should've saved that haymaker for you I imagine. Thanks for the replies everyone else. I'm always happy to get a new phone regardless. Hope everyone had a good 4th...

I think he meant it as a compliment, maybe. Being addicted to root is a badge of honor, for some... of us, lol
If you're in KY near water then there's a good chance I'm close enough to come get 3d video of you punching him again, or maybe asking to see his phone then throwing him in for a swim.
That does suck man. I almost had to go back to a bb curve for a few days when I broke my evo, the horror!
a new one? you mean refurbished .. I'd make him buy a BRAND NEW straight from sprint for 500 .. most expensive push ever.

I've found myself in that situation far too often, I love to go fishing, and sometimes forget I have a phone in my pocket. Well I've gotten into the habit of when I'm gonna be at or near water for awhile I slip my phone in a ziplock in my pocket. lol
Seems stupid but hey I saved my EVO4G a couple times lol

i had a bricked mt3g with a vodafone splash screen and went for an exchange from tmobile and didnt wanted them to know that it is bricked by the vodafone spash screen. i took a jug of water and poured into the phone carefully so it didnt mess the indicators and then plugged it in and booted, still worked, then i microwaved it for a few seconds until there were some sparks, took it out again booted, idk what htc puts in their phones but they do survive the utter torchure. I ended up disconnecting a wire on mt3g on the inside so it would short out and didnt boot and finally got an exchange. for my n1 it fell off from 8 feet just a dent, fell off 3 floors onto trampoline nothing, fell off 1 floor another dent, fell of 2 floors on its edge broken screen ( no broken glass just screen ) its survived too much torchure. Have HTC Magic 32a bought it on launch still works perfect =O

I had the same thing on the mytouch, I just mailed it back to them with the voda splash screen and prepared to play dumb if it was ever brought up. They never asked any questions.
since ur already getting a new one. Try putting that one in a bowl of Dry Rice. Might as well see if the rice sucks the water up and you have an extra 3D its worked for me on some phones.

Since the device is so new... the chances of him getting a brand new one is very high... $100 deductible may just send him a brand new phone.
Yeah, I'm hoping the $100 gets a brand new one sent to me. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow and see. As far as the rice goes, I let it sit in rice for about 24 hours and though the phone is dry, there are still the three different layers of water inside the screen. One layer of water banding, one layer of large droplets, and another layer of banding running the opposite direction. Really strange to look at...
@event- apologies to you, I'm usually a little more grown-up than the name-calling. Was just in a foul mood last night over this. I do run a firefox addon to auto-refresh xda.
There are not 3 layers of water in your phone, just one, it's a 3D phone remember, it's a feature.
Anyway sorry to hear about killing one already, glad you are getting another.

Had a ride in the ambulance to the emergency room after wrecking my new Kawasaki Teryx. Was on dirt road and a truck came at me head on and to avoid him involved me hitting the bank head on. I woke up in the ditch and felt OK except for what I thought was a small cut on my knee.
Well, the cut turned out to not be small and when I looked finally I could see my whole frigging knee cap
Was a tad freaked but got some morphine in the ambulance. Anyway, sorry off topic but I'm bored and hurting and wanted some of you to know.

Damn know what your going through bud too well. laid down my yamaha R1 when i was in high school late night avoiding a car that weaved in my lane and I s##t you not I woke up sitting ON my bike at the end. rode home still in shock not knowing really wtf happened b/c the driver didn't stop. on way home realized i had wrecked since visor was flapping and whole front of bike was bouncing since bracket was broke, and once home noticed jeans were torn up and hands scraped.(THANK GOD for my JACKET!!) saved me from so much rash. could straight see my tendon when i looked at my knee.
funny story though while cleaning up some before i looked at my knee and realized my ish was f'd up i dropped a towel on ground and picking it up my clavicle popped out and adrenaline filled shock self popped it back in just simply rolling my shoulder back. Felt like cracking your knuckles i s##t u not, no worse at all. lol
get the parents up(mom head ER nurse at Duke at time) take the trip to the ER and shock is wearing off and shoulder is freaking on FIRE then. keep telling nurse it f'ing hurts and she keeps trying to tell me my wrist is broken. So me being the knowitall HS kid I waved my wrist back and forth at her saying no its not, my shoulder is f'd up. (shoulder was fine at that point. as it was in place perfect.)
Funny how the absolute worst pain you can think of can just not exist with the aid of adrenaline and shock.
Well sounds like you didn't get much rash bud which is good, nor break anything!
Glad you came through it bud! Always could be much worse.
Ouch. Don't worry that morphine will male everything better I promise
That's a f-ed up story sgt. Kinda like the time I rolled my car 4 times on the freeway. And didn't wake up till 3 days after the accident :-( it was harsh nd hope it never happens again.

Hey all,
So I've had my Note for like 5 days now, and I have nothing to complain about. If there was one thing to complain about it would be that It's hard to pull my phone out of my pocket while driving to answer a call... but I really don't care because I love the phone size whole heartedly. But anyway, last night I went to the bar with my Note. I could feel the people behind me staring at my phone as I used it haha. I was pondering on whether I should have even taken it in before entering, because I'm the person in the bar thats always dancing like I'm in a club, and I was worried about it being in my pocket. Well the bar I went to, which is very popular and gets very crowded, plays loud loud music, so it's almost impossible to not dance.
The note faired well in my pocket with slight dancing, and also sparked a couple conversations with people surprised by me pulling it out to answer my phone. But tonight I will probably be taking it to a club where dancing will be key. Now since I am the type that never leaves without my phone, I will probably be bringing it along, however, I feel that this time it will probably get in my way. Also I doubt it will spark as many conversations at a club, but suspect I will have just as many strangers staring at me as I go to use it.
I couldn't find a single shirt I owned that would fit the note in its pocket haha, and I looked as I figured it would probably be easier to move with the Note stored in my shirt.
Let me know any of y'alls stories about bar or club ventures with the Note. Any suggestions for tonight when I go to the club?

It has definitely changed the social situation around me when I pull out this phone. I have to wonder if the Streak users experienced the same?
I wouldn't say that it is helping me to influence people or make friends, but I can feel the reaction around me when I whip out the S-Pen and go to work
So far, only one iPhone user tried to say something, but after watching me demonstrate the capabilities (Siri? HAH!) and show off the 4G LTE goodness, they shut up and I haven't heard a peep from them since.
A few of my Android friends are looking into getting one, but as far as I can tell I am the only one around this podunk town with one. I don't imagine it will take very long to change that!
I just recently passed the 1 year anniversary mark of purchasing my Streak. Throughout different environments and scenarios, I usually always got some kind of stares from people in public.
In like the club/lounge/bar type of settings, if I was on the dance floor or in some crowded space, and happened to take out the Streak for any reason, oftentimes a stranger would tap me and vaguely talk to me about that.
There were a few times in which I felt a little clumsy with a lot of people crowding around me to take a look.
I even had people ask me why I was carrying only a tablet and not a phone instead. Even with that small ear piece at top, some of them still believed you couldn't make traditional phone calls with it.
Haha a quite good looking female came up to me at the bar last night. She said she was wandering what phone i had and she was "watching" me use it lol. So i showed her a fast S pen demo. I didn't chit chat too long as i was with my gf but she didn't seem to care. This phone is seriously a conversation piece when i whip it out. Putting iphone users to shame daily

Well, it sure is handy when taking a ladies phone number. Just whip out the pen and hand it to her. Impressive.
Of course, the other side of the coin. Go to the club with this baby in a holster and see how fast they run from you. lol
I go to a lot of Raves and nightclubs and it's done fine in a case. I wouldn't dance with it in my pocket though
Every dress shirt I have, the note fits into. It goes in my back pocket when I wear jeans.
If you rather, in the car, use bluetooth. or get a mount so you can see the display. Works for me.
This phone is perfect for me, as I had a 7" SG Tablet.
Yes the Streak gets the same attention. Not just in bars it clubs it anywhere it comes out. Looking into the note as my next phone but not quiet ready yet.

I've had people at the club see it sticking out of my pocket and ask me about it one of the best conversation starting phones I have had
I was getting a haircut, sitting, i showed the lady how i want my hair to look like. So i pulled out my Note from my pocket and showed it to her. SHe responded, "That big huh?" I said, "Yeah that big" with an innuendo. well shampoo time came..i dont know if it was intentional but she brushed her nice tits on my face twice.....hmmmmm
my response to the size is."You know us Brotha's like em Big and White" get a hell-of-a laugh outta that one.
Someone came along and gave this thread one star. I gave it five, so it's at 3. Let's get this voted up to where it belongs!
Yeah so I got jumped by two punks last night. Long story short My note ended up being taken from me and then returned in the puddle I was standing next to.
My case had a rubber plug for the headphone and USB Ports if that helps from the six dollar case.
I'm pretty sure I'm just out of the thirty days but not thirty since I exchanged my last one that was defective.
Seems to be working okay. Water damage can do weird things. what should I be looking out for?
ok, how long has it been since it was in water? First thing i would myself is to take out battery immediately. Then take it apart if i thought the water may have gone deeper. If your not too experienced with taking it apart, then i might avoid doing that part. I would just leave battery out for a little while and try not to turn it on. From my personal experience with other peoples phone is that the water will be in there and will eventually start corroding and i guess its kinda like a oxidization(?) and will make contact to other connections and will start to short.
long story short
-remove battery
-let dry for a while
-if you dont think it went deep in the phone, then I wouldnt worry too much
-from my own experiences usb port is the first to stop working
-then white screen(bad lcd) along with a ruined battery
The day that it doesn't turn on anymore.
I had dropped a phone in the washing machine once while it just started filling up with water. The phone didn't get very wet at all and ran like a champ for two months more. Then it died.
Hopefully the plugs on your phone will make a difference!
Less than twelve hours. there was a very few small droplets on the outer sides under the battery case. I don't think it too deep into the phone I left the battery out with the phone in a plastic rice container and under a lamp for a few hours. I'm not having those symptoms yet. There was no water under the battery.
Is atts 30 day return policy from the date of contact or from when I exchanged the other note for a defect?
I pay for atts insurance but a two hundred dollar deductible ....
I'm on contract for two years so I need the best advice...

I would say 30 days from the exchange from note to note. I dont know if they would change to a different device but maybe another note. Of course if they see water damage on the pads then they wouldnt let you. Just in case they are red, here is a post by the Elite dev Adam Outler.

In my experience the 30 days starts all over with each phone. The contract does not. After 14 days your locked into the contract and can not get a reversal. The phone itself always goes by the date of purchase or replacement.

The 30 day period is from the original sale date, I had to return a second one for a blown speaker at 10 days from my 1st return (hard brick) but 32 days from original purchase. Had to send it back to warranty when I got the replacement in the mail.
If you believe it still has water in it, take out the battery and place both the phone and battery in uncooked rice for a day. The rice will draw out any moisture.
Sounds like you will have to make a warranty claim, but if it works without issue, don't worry about that until it doesn't work anymore. You can make a claim whenever, they wont know when it happened.

If you return a phone because of a factory defect within 30 days, they give you another phone. The 30 day return policy starts all over again. If you damage the phone in any way, then the same rules don't apply(especially water damage). That's the 1st thing they check for. If there's no sign of water damage(and you don't tell them), then you're covered under the return policy. Otherwise, it's gotta go through warranty. I would be honest about it. Either way you get another phone....although you will need to pay a deductible.
Edit: Just remember....every store is different and it depends on who you talk to. If the speaker blew due to no fault of your own, then they should've have given you another phone right then and there. If you paid a deducible then they screwed you. I returned 3 phones in the past 3 months. All were covered under the 30 day return policy from the date I received them.

WTF, all the replies are so well thought out to OMG save the phone, but no one cares that the OP got robbed and roughed up? What's wrong with you people?
LOL
OP, I'm just glad you are OK and not in the hospital or worse. A phone can always be replaced...
Hey, like said above biggest thing is that yur ok! had a similar situation happen last year didnt end up so well for me, ER trip, Neuro rehab etc but cant do anything bout it now!! Anyways, I remember my wife dropped her Isucks err Iphone in the sink while doing dishes, completely saturated. I read online that one of the best ways to soak up the water from inside the phone itself it to put it in a jar of white rice for a day or two. Its the same principle as putting rice in the salt shaker. It absorbs moisture and we did that and it worked. Had some gremlins for a minute there (phone volume changing on its own, messenger popping up randomly etc) but after a few days it was business as usual for it for another year. Hope this helps ya!
we all love our phones but take care when pulling them out in public. always be aware of your surroundings and stop walking around with your head down.
not saying the OP was doing this just a general "heads up" so to speak. no pun intended

For this reason, im debating to get a CCW (carry concealed weapon) license. But Glad to hear that youre okay. Ive heard that water damaged phones can be fixed by sticking it in a bucket of rice uncooked for about a day. Worked for my bros old iphone.

I didn't have to pay a deductible, they just made me swap it out through the warranty dept as it was covered under warranty for the bad speaker. They made me do it that way since it was past the original 30 days from the sale. No biggie to me, I didn't pay, just had to wait a day.

Cool man. Glad to hear it. I get really fired up when these carriers screw their customers over. I also can't stand the fact that every store policy is different. Everyone should be treated the same.

Well the battery indicator is still white. The phone didn't get completely water logged thanks to the case. Its working as of now so how would i be able to exchange it anyway. I guess ill end up doing the warranty when or if things act up. There's only one water damage indicator?
I didn't get roughed up luckily. This sounds crazy but I convinced them that what they were doing was wrong and they were only doing it cause they could cause im a little man. I also did mention i could gps track the phone. Once they threatened violence i told them to do it. Two big guys i told them i wouldn't fight back either if it made them feel better. The one with my phone ended up calling me a humble man throwing my phone in the puddle and told me where my board was so i could leave. Reverse psychology working on an intoxicated person is almost unheard of lol.
I realize i did get very lucky and it could have ended a lot worse.

I am not sure about any additional indicators. Hopefully it will be no issue. I only know of the one. Glad you talked them down from the hostility!
Here in Tampa a group of thugs jumped and beat an off duty Army Soldier when he went to get a dollar out of his wallet because they asked for some help. Glad they caught 2 of them, only a matter of time until they get the other two. Wish they could bring the thugs to his platoon or squad for some military style justice!

I here you bro, these stores and reps all give a different take, and see if they can get one over on the customer. So much for real customer service anymore.
Im here in Florida too. As the economy worsens more and more bad people will populate the states.
Carrying a firearm can offer protection but has a lot of downfalls to the idea. Especially having to defend yourself in court after merely trying to defend your life.

glad you are ok man, a phone can always be replaced..
As far as carrying a concealed weapon, hopefully, you are an experienced gun owner/user, because, if not, carrying a weapon that you aren't thoroughly trained and comfortable with can turn out horribly.....for you....
