how about hair wax?
I hear if you mix about 3 table spoons of salt into a litre of warm water and soak your phone in it for about 10 minutes then put it in the microwave on hi for 30 seconds it will remove all your dents and scratches!

Have you looked into PlastiDip? You can get it from Home Depot. It's a spray paint which dries into a rubber coating and you can easily remove it. I'd give it a shot.

alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.
Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds
Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.
and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great .
looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording

not at all friend, but dont think for a second a majority of the people who read your post will just assume you meant "weird" or "strange". face it, most will ASSume you meant in regards to being homosexual. even if its not what you meant, it could still be offensive, and you should think about what you say and how others may perceive it before you post that on the interwebz.
also, playing off your logic here, who are you to say a man listening to one direction is queer? i think you NOT listening is rather gay.
and by gay i meant happy. did you assume that?

I am more than happy to explain my use of the word when people misunderstand it and quite honestly the word stupid is offensive, but we still use it along with many other negative terms.

given the general societal stigma involved with men listening to whats considered to be "girl music" using the word queer with no clear or definitive meaning, and only the stigma i mentioned earlier for context, it can only lead the observer to assume you meant the opposite. dont attempt to justify your misuse of words with an analogy worth about as much as your idea its still OK to use the word "queer" when referring to a "strange" behavior. who are you to decide its queer a man listens to 1d? ok, so you personally think its queer, kewl bro. dont express that with no intentions other than to express it, bc than really your only intent was conflict, right?

Again I don't care about the general social stigma and no I didn't mean to start a conflict. I actually just really like the original meaning of queer and the way the word even sounds like its definition. Furthermore I think this conversation has gone on long enough and we should clutter this thread up anymore.

Hi,
So my nexus 5 fell into swimming pool. I tried all the methods of drying up and it has been 5 days but still its not getting switched on. When I insert the charger, the battery shows 100% and when I try to power it on, the Google logo shows and then again the battery symbol keeps coming. Also, can't turn it on without putting the charger. Any idea, what all are damaged inside the phone?
um.. the whole phone? all the metal pieces, wires, curcuits, chips, etc.

You can try taking the phone apart and cleaning the parts with rubbing alcohol. Usually that will fix a water damaged phone. There are plenty of guides on YouTube on how to do so. Good luck.

Small world. I grew up in Glenview. Live in Northbrook now.
Wow this thread stayed on topic!
I have the Nex 4. (Buying the 5 this week) and mine went into the washing machine for about 1 minute until I realized it was in there.
It shut down and I thought I was f'd. But I immediately took it apart and unplugged the battery and dried everything I could physically and left it in rice 12 hours. I know that's not enough time but anyway it turned on the next day with vertical lines going up and down on boot up.
Then to my surprise after the boot up I had my phone working with all icons on all screens still in place. The problem though is the screen is now washed out. Colors are not clear and I need brightness set all the way up to see the screen.
The other problem is that when the screen times out or I turn the screen off myself, it may not turn back on. Just a faint backlit light comes on. If I keep hitting the power button to try to shut off the screen and back on, I keep getting the blank screen. One thing I found out recently is I don't have to do a battery disconnect to get things back. All I do is wait about two minutes, hit the power button and the screen turns back on. No shutdown needed.
Needless to say, I managed to fix what was almost a certain brick. It's been over a month and the phone is still going strong.
This week is definite purchasing of the 5. I can't wait.
