I everyone. I'm looking for an app that can destroy all the hardware and all the information and data and ghost data. Like a surcharge of the battery and "burn" the phone or something Like that. Can someone help me?
And why exactly do you need this??
Flashing an RUU might help. It formats everything when internal data. If you actually wanna fry the hardware your best bet is an oven. Make sure to put down aluminium you don't want call phone sticking to your oven.
I just noticed your used the objective term "the phone" and not the possessive term "my phone". No one here really condones destruction of property.

Apps don't have the capacity to do something like this, even hardware controls stop physical destruction of hardware.
If you are getting chased by the cops, just snap the phone in half and eat the microSD.
Two part magnesium dust, one part iron rust dust, and one part aluminium dust. Mix slowly in a glass container with a non-metallic spoon. After mixing, place a one inch tightly packed layer in a 4x6x3 box, then place the object onto the layer, then slow add another one inch layer, make a primer then get the **** back, because this will heat the object to above 5400f. In short no more object, what this object is a phone not a platter slow go to a flea market buy a 10$ microwave a nuke it.
I think he means an app that will destroy all this from a distance.

Just call your carrier and have them mark the imei as bad. Whoever took it would be screwed then!
Lmao... ohhhhhh.. now I get it, haha. I was like, whytf would you want to do that to your phone

Sure it is. You just need a couple of electrical engineers and embedded software engineers to help out.
A budget of about 1-2 Million would be nice, too.
When you are finished, though, you might want to call it something else besides an Eris - maybe something snappy like "Erris".
Maybe hire a marketing guy and a sales guy, to help recoup your losses.
Oh crap, I see where this is going...

I remember when some guy took some processor boards for SGI workstations and had them solder faster processors on them
http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?t=1071
But the eris processor is likely more specialized.
If by "faster processor" the OP meant "better speed bin of the same (msm7600) processor", the answer is "yes, with big risks": in general small processors are not socketed, but rather surface mounted (especially for cell phones, where space is tight). So even swapping a processor which is "identical" without the right equipment is both tricky and risky too. You can find videos on the web showing people doing this - on a cell phone - using a heat gun, some aluminum foil, and a vacuum pick-up tool.
If we're talking about a different processor, it is highly unlikely that it would share the exact footprint of the msm7600 - in which case you are talking about a new circuit board design, which is close to the same thing as starting from scratch.
Short answer is "No!".
^^ =\ I read that halfway through my answer and now I wasted all that time lol
Covered.
Thanks.i might try some of that stuff once I won't need mt eris anymore

It's pretty simple. Using a standard pocket knife, shave each battery down flat to the width of the Eris battery. Line them up parallel and hot glue the two side by side (duct tape can be substituted if desired). Cut open a 1' section of 14/2 AWG wire purchased from Lowes or Home Depot and use the ground wire to wrap around the now affixed batteries (very important to use ground wire as we don't want anyone getting shocked). Hot glue or duct tape to make a permanent bond and your finished. Oh, and dont forget to wipe battery stats before starting.
It's a good idea to have the phone plugged in the first time you boot. For increased affects, hold the phone over the toilet.

ROFL that's funny.
I dont know why it is with these newer model phones, but just from the suggestion posts that came up when i entered the title of this thread, but My LGOT and i guess even the G2 have an issue where dusts starts to build up under the sceen....
Ive only had my phone for a little over 2 weeks, but even after the first couple days, i noticed that there were already a few trickles of dirt right around the middle of my screen.
I guess my main question is, is there anything i can do about this, has anyone had the same troubles, and what can we do to prevent this from happening?
In Thailand this is general problem of LG Optimus One
you should contact LG Customer support
they'll open your phone and blow dust out
if dust cause touchscreen malfunction they'll change new one for you
some people guess that dust already in the phone due to assembly process from factory
some guess maybe dust go through usb port
I have my phone since 2 days and i already have a dust spot in the lower right corner. This is annoying! If this spot is growing i will contact the costumer support.

I am working on dusty area, but no dust under screen. Phone is 1 month old.
Me I have not this problem, but remains me the same issue with the iPhone 2/3 (google iphone dust screen).
I think it's a common problem with capacitive screen, but no "easy" solutions to fix it...
poor construction quality, imho.

this is one of those instances where a really cheap phone shows its faults. the phone is free on contract and little of $200 without. with it being so incredibly cheap, there is going to be something wrong that causes concern.
Im okay with it happening as long as it gets fixed and the problem is acknowledged by both LG and the phone carriers. it seems like many people are having this problem at the moment and T-Mobile is willing to exchange it in store, so good on them for being considerate.
i have the same issue. Don't know how to prevent that

No dust here either. I have a silicon case, I don't think it helps very much.
just disassemble it. There is no warranty seal. You'll find the dust inbetween the lcd screen and the capacitive overlay.

Hi! please tell us how to do it!
I too have this problem Can any one please let us know how to get rid of it.
I have the same problem with my Optimus One, dust is starting to gather on the right bottom corner and it seems to have increased since the first time I saw it. I've thought about buying a can of compressed air and trying to blow it near the edge of the screen but maybe that will just make it spread even further.
I've also thought about unscrewing the screws on the back panel of the phone and clean it but I'm afraid that it will affect the capacitive screen in some way making it less responsive and that after I assemble it back together it'll become even less air tight and thus accumulate even more dust.
Maybe I'll reclaim my warranty but I'll have to un-root my phone and wipe it clean before leaving it at the store and it's going to be a pain in the ass to reinstall everything when it returns.
Will they replace the mobile for this problem?
You can back up everything by titanium backup and copy the titanium backup folder from sd to your pc or pen drive. In your newly replaced phone you can copy back this folder to sd card and after installing titanium backup application you can restore everything.

Wow, DUST really get into the phone and I thought I was the only person experiencing this... actually it's on the "RIGHT BOTTOM PART" as posted S3nd41 and probably half of the users here has this problem....
I was so happy with my Note. Great battery life, fast response, minimal/no black crush... and then something caught my eye when I loaded up the Google Play app. For a split second while the background was changing, I noticed the faint imprint of the "Texting and driving it can wait" sticker that comes affixed to the phone when I first bought it. I thought I was seeing things.
Then I loaded up the S-Memo app where it has a tan background and is easy to see screen damage. I deleted my s-memos to get a clear picture of the screen, and sure enough I clearly see the entire imprint of the sticker that comes affixed to the phone. I tried cleaning it, rubbing it, yelling at it, and nothing made it go away, It's permanent. I don't even drive!
What the hell?! Has anyone else noticed this? Try it -- go into your S-memo app and delete enough of your picture memos so the tan background is showing. Anyone else have screen damage?
I apologize for the tone of my first post -- this is already my first replacement Note as the first had a dead/hot pixel cluster that was instantly visible upon powering up the phone.
Off to Best Buy tomorrow to get a replacement.
Edited to include a photo of the issue.
Wow just checked mine and its not there go return it thats beat

It's not residue on the screen is it?
Guess they were trying to get there point across lol. I would try Goo Gone before returning it.
Goo gone is sone amazing stuff, but I personally try to not use chemicals on any electronics anymore... too many companies are using exotic films on the glass these days. If your return wont be that hard, i'd just do that.

Naw man, that's whack - go exchange it. I can't even imagine what that phone went through to get a permanent imprint from the sticker on it.
Er.... have you removed the sticker..???

You know your note is a really Smart phone if its trying to tell you something. On a serious note, hope you got an exchange from BB.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
How could this possibly happen? Because it's not like it's stencil letters, it comes on one vinyl strip
Only way I could see this happening is if you left the sticker on and set it outside in the sun for days
Exchange it!
Or try Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser
I would just replace it. Using any form of chemical or magic eraser could potentially cause damage, which could void your warranty. My experience with Best Buy exchanges, they are really good about it, as long as there is no damage to the device. It's not worth the risk. It sucks that this happned to you, but you have to admit, of all the possible flaws on a phone, you got the king of them all.

After seeing this thread I had to check mine (doesn't appear on mine).. That is one freakish issue and definitely should be exchanged.
Keep us informed on how you make out.
No way would I even attempt to clean it, just return it.
To answer some questions: Yes, I took the sticker off, but only after using it with it on for a couple days until my screen protector arrived. I was very careful about using it and, this may not show in the picture, but the ENTIRE protector is imprinted on the screen INCLUDING the border.
I truly have no idea what caused this, my only guess is a manufacturing defect. Off to Best Buy now. I'll report back with my non-cursed Note *knocks on wood*
Also, thanks to you all for the many lulz this thread has provided me in my "fist-world sorrow."

You're joking right? You used the phone with it on there for a couple of days and are wondering why the image is burned into your phone?? Even going as far as saying your not is cursed?
My guess: You left the TXT & Drive sticker on there while using it, and the heat generated from the phone on the screen made it rub off. (like iron on graphics on a shirt). To make it worse, you put a screen protector on it further locking in the imprint for several more uses.
Mystery solved?
Hey guys,
months ago the S3 was said to be waterproofed with a special technology, so you could even record with the phone under about 1 meter of water.
Now Samsung didn't publish any kind of this feature, but somewhere this phone is much more resistant than any before....
Watch this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xkTt0XPxkM&feature=relmfu
Yes, of course the mic got broken, but the phone itself is still completely functionable. The S3 is the first phone where I signed an insurance for it (primarly because the blue S3 wasn't available in Europe at release and I thought maybe later to switch) so I don't care much about it (handles all cases, even stupidity)... By now it got about four time in heavy rain, completely covered by water. One time I hold it under running water in the kitchen and recorded.. All no problem. The problem I see is that steady water or being dropped somewhere there get's water under the battery case and in the mic input. I'm curious if with the right case you can record under water?
Post your experience with water, but please don't experiment with it as long as you don't have an insurance where your phone is replaced by minutes!
Greetings,
Snew
This phone is not waterproofed or been treated in any way different form previous Samsung phones to make it more waterproof or resistant.
Like many other devices Samsung have probably used a hydrophobic coating on the PCB this is common practice but is not generally considered a feature as its not fool proof . I believe the correct term to use would be its water resistant

It's also got moisture-detecting test patches in several places inside, so if water is allowed to enter, you could have a big argument about the warranty!
Not sure where you read this information, but it was never claimed to be waterproof.
As most phones have to (read: are) designed to have some protection to water (i.e. walking out in the rain, you do still need to use the phone on occasion) this phone is no more protected than those. Think about it, if I put my phone in a sealed see through bag I could record with it providing the bag is sealed correctly.
This applies to anything, if it is sealed correctly it will work under water. As the entrance points for water is only through the back cover, microphones etc - if these are air tight sealed then it will be possible to record under water to a certain extent providing it is not to deep where pressure will break the phone - this in theory will work with any phone.
But there is a new sealing technology (can't remember the name) that is like air bubbles (hard to explain how it works, I'll try find a link) put in around the components so that heat can get out etc, but no water or other alien fluids/materials can enter. From what I remember, no products use this yet as it was in development from when I remember reading it. The phone is obviously not using this technology as you already pointed out the mic got damaged.
Wrap layers of sellotape around the phones entry points and record away...just don't go too deep as pressure can do bad things to phones.

this is just hydrophobic coatings there are many of them and many are already used commonly in many devices.
you are probably thinking of those new ones that have been demo'd in the last year in viral fashion like the one with a shoe and chocolate sauce for fabric.

Hi Everyone,
So I was on holiday with my beloved Ultra, and using it in the pool. Cool thing is, this phone is waterproof! That's what I thought until I got on the plane a few hours later and upon trying to use my phablet the touch screen stopped responding. It seemed to function OK, I just couldn't unlock it or use it as there was some kind of hyperactive spectre flying around inside making it seem like the touchscreen was possessed. I looked a little closer, and not only was there condensation visible in both camera lenses, but upon opening the usb cover there was also moisture inside there. I opened the other side, and the moisture indicator was still white, so I think the problem was specifically with the usb port cover.
Anyway, it's not covered under any kind of warranty as I bought it overseas, and I have taken it to a repair shop who confirmed that it's water damaged and that they would need to fix the damaged USB port and replace the screen to make it work again. I just want to buy a new one as it would be cheaper than getting it fixed, but I have some data/apps on the old one I don't want to lose. Any suggestions on the best approach? If the shop can read the eMMC and back it up, could I use that to restore data/apps onto a new phone, or am I better off just getting it fixed...
Advice/opinions appreciated.
it's a marketing trick. they are not actually waterproof.
I guess this guy's luck was bad. Mine had contact with water a couple of times and thankfully it lived upto its waterproofness promise

This is a stupid reply. I brought it with me in the pool with my kids, made photos and videos underwater (touch block + volume rocker), no problems at all.
Same goes with my wife's Z.
Of course, if you go swimming with the USB flap open, well, you're an idiot. (Not that I accuse OP of being one, just that 80% of the time when I saw someone with a faulty phone/laptop/tablet it was not working because of THEM).

Hopefully someone replies with some advice that is actually helpful... FYI I have used it in the pool (and had it underwater) multiple times before without problems. I always make sure the seals are sitting properly when I close them so I am doubtful it was user error...
The usb port is fully brpken?
I think it's corroded, but definitey doesn't work.

good for you, you were lucky. on the xperia forums and on here, there are many MANY people who had their phones damaged from water. Are ALL of them at fault?
however, call sony and ask them (i did):
1) what *guarantee* is there that with the flaps closed the phone will not receive water damage? they will answer none. There is no case where the warranty will cover water damage. Whether it's your fault or the phone's fault, it is irrelevant to sony. they will NOT cover it.
2) what happens if, after *normal use*... notice this: *normal use*, NOT abuse, the flaps lose their sealing ability? Does the warranty cover it? No. Warranty does NOT cover "normal use wear". Which means the flaps WILL lose their sealing ability and you end up with a non-waterproof phone. How soon? NOONE KNOWS because there is no way to actually TEST it, at least not as a USER. You MIGHT be able to have it tested at sony... but that would mean testing it every. single. time. you close any of the flaps...
your phone, at any given point, MAY or MAY NOT be waterproof. However, since you have no way to test it, it means that you CAN NOT TRUST it to be waterproof, which is, of course, means you have to treat it as NOT waterproof.
which, in the end, means the phone is not waterproof.
as a sidenote, keep any and all profanities to yourself
Blah blah. The phone is waterproof. No need to be all technical and stuff. Can it be used in water for a certain period of time? Yes.
Your post reminds me of when ships were first being built. If a boat ends up sinking from wear and tear does that mean it wasn't a floating device? Also wear and tear....that's why we check our cars at a set time for periodic maintenance because of wear and tear.
I got lax with mine and took it in the shower and got water in it, USB flap is worn. Not the companies, because I didn't take the necessary steps to make sure my phone was periodically maintained.
Just my 2 cents...
