Hi guys.. I was loving my phone until yesterday... I was on ics and the phone was super smooth..
Then my stupid cousin poured water oñ me..
Since then the touch has become very unresponsive.. I have to press many times just to type a small word..
Also, the phone randomly shows charging when it isn't çonnected to the charger!!!! Please help guys..

I think it is H/W issues better to take it Samsung Service Center.....

This is an hardware issue has happened with me. Your usb port must have gone faulty. When my usb port had water in it had to be changed and they charged me 2000rs for it they will have to change the entire usb component of otherwise the touch of your phone won't respond to correctly!!!

OK...but here's the funny bit... when I blow into the charging port (made sure I was only blowing dry air) the touch becomes as responsive as it was initially.. then returns back to its sad state in a couple of mins..
Screen shot attached shows it working fine after blowing..
I don't have a spare phone so giving it to ssc will be my last option..

Use hairdryer and blow hot air in usb port. It should solve ur issue.
Don't blow for long time it may make ur port very hot and can damage ur hw.

He said blowing DRY AIR, he didn't memtioned it was hot air which can vaporize wetness.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but the hair dryer just isn't doing the trick...
Anymore tips guys? Should I try opening the phone? Would ssc know?

why are you taking so much pain ??
if ur phone is covered under warranty then let the ssc people do it..
but if u want to experiment, you are free to do so...!!

Okay... a friend suggested I keep my phone over night in a jar of rice to absorb the moisture.. if it doesn't work then I'm off to ssc tmr.. I won't open it up..
Thanks for the help everyone..
Btw: surprisingly, it works fine when on charging.. I'm really clueless to the cause of the issue..
Sent from my Galaxy R

If water has gone inside then ssc will come to know because there is a waste strip inside which detects inrush of water inside the phone. If they are charging you high for the same then u can always try by yourself but be careful.

Its a common trouble with galaxy r....i experienced a similar one and just gave to ssc they solved in 2 days they changed whole lcd screen and charging port and didn't charge anything....just dnt tell them abt water and other stuff and get back to GB before giving to ssc

Galaxy R screen corrupted/ pixellated/ random blackout

Hello guys,
My SGR screen is suddenly showing different color pixels near the bottom and egdes of the screen.. It doesn even appear on the screenshot.. I was on Lidroid ROM, then I reset and flashed Titanium v2.1 and finally now I'm on the stock ROM. Yet its still there.
It is NOT dead pixels. Its as if the LCD screen is corrupted and there is even random blackout from around the same time this pixel discoloration happened.
I think its a LCD issue but wanted to know if u guys think its a software issue by any chance? Else i have to take it to SSC again - 3rd time!
TIA
Same issue on all ROMs, Screen shots are perfect...
definitely HW issue...

Damn I got a totally new issue now. As soon as I connect my headphones to my SGR, there is a blackout. It doesnt switch off coz the touch key light remains on. I have to re-insert the battery to switch it on.
I had the motherboard replaced 10 days back coz of random shutdowns. Since I got it, I noticed that I could not change songs in any of the music players using the headset controls. I just ignored it. And now as soon as I connect the headphones it just goes black!..
Taking it to the SSC right away..

They took an hour to check it and finally decided that the motherboard has to be replaced again. Yes AGAIN!. No wonder there is a shortage of Galaxy R motherboards elsewhere. This will be my third - and hopefully the last one for years.

Might be a problem with the internal wirings or that a part is being overloaded (most probably connects to the screen)

Even my device had a spot little brighter... I was thinking I should not claim... becoz the service people here are not that well trained....
But, eventually... my soft keys stopped working and.. I was bound to go there... and they will replace it in 4 days...(as they are saying now).... I hope the best.... Jai Shri Ram....

[Q] Phone bricked.Dont know what happened.

Ok guys i have helped a lot of you out there but i need help this time.
Few days ago i accidently dropped my phone down but nothing happened that time.
Next day everything was fine until the day after when my phone suddenly switched off.i switched it on but after few minutes it became off again.then i tried to switch it on but nothing happened.
i tried removing battery and charging again but nothing happened.
but one strange thing was my battery was getting hot even when the phone was off.
i thought smth is wrong with battery and i bought a new one but nothing happened.
no download mode no recovery nothing....i mean nothing..........
So know i dont know whats wrong and its not even in warranty as i dont have bill and other things.
i went to a local shop but they said give it to us a we will find the problem but i am scared that there may be only minute problem for which they will charge like rs.500 to rs.1500 and may still not fix it.so i dont trust them.
so pls. help by telling me what could have happened and has this happened to anyone else??
and yeah i have not flashed clockwork mod.....i had chocobread 3.2........
maybe the battery leaked inside the phone and thats why it wouldnt on
thats why the battery was hot due to the chemical reactions taking place inside the battery.
try putting the new battery in and charging it for like 10 min and then on and see if it works.
try shaking the phone also to see if any part inside the phone is lose or broken
last option is give it for repair
PS: if u do know a lot about ur phone hardware try opening it and see whats wrong inside even though i got no idea what will happen coz ive never tried
best of luck
may be the screens cable broken..
It looks something that samsung care can fix...be ready to shell out some cash...
I would advise against unofficial service, atleast for smartphones...

Well its really f***in trouble man...
I'm guessing that your phones hardware are down, because of the impact... maybe the display flexible or the power supply that's going bad and that's why you're phone can't turned on again..
Battery shouldn't be problem, coz it charge and getting hot...
My advise is just go and repair it to the Samsung Service Center..
Just my little opinion..

Thanks guys but how much expense can I expect like from just damaged power supply to damaged chips?
I don't want to spend much as I am looking to buy s3 very soon.

My friend which is a phone technician told me that your problem is the IC Power (power supply)..
Just replace it with the new one ...
I'll guest its about 5 to 10 USD..
Sent from my Galaxy Fit
It should not cost too much. While i doubt that it would have anything to do with the battery (as ive dropped my phone several times over the past one yr ) id agree that you take it to the samsung service ctr. It may cost a little, but the fit is worth every penny

It seems the Power IC, however check the pins that connect battery with motherboard.

Is your phone in warranty?
can you give us some basic information? such like rom & kernel version, wether you rooted and ade using cputuningtools or something like that.
if you are under stock rom(original samsung & all further updates over kies) and u have done nothing unnormally so far i would recommend use the warranty too; )

Agree. :good:
I'll wait for a few weeks or till the phone is usable for the kernel 3.0. :fingers-crossed:
If not then no other option but create a Rs.5000 hole in my pocket. :crying:
Same case with me... Bought the i9003 March 2011.
I'm on DDKP3 and around the same time as the OP, my touchscreen started to act strange... responsive only when charger is plugged in. Tried factory reset, but problem came back after some hours!
If this is a product-wide issue, then I guess sammy should replace it for free, even if it's out of warranty... too busy to go to the nearest service cenrter, will check later.
Till then, please keep me updated how it goes for you.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
Just wondering, if a reflash of DDKP3 via ODIN or any custom ROM would solve the issue... please suggest.
I guess the sensitivity settings (or something like that) has changed without you knowing. Don't know if it is the same as s2 but in s2, sensitivity of the phone not plugged in the charger and plugged in has different settings. So maybe the settings for it in your case (unplugged) has changed but not on the plugged in settings. It's all in the kernel btw.

Same problem!!!
It happened last week when my phone surprisingly started showing this problem. After unlocking the phone the screen becomes unresponsive. In my case it is just 1-2 secs after unlocking the phone.
It lasted for a day, I tried flashing different ROMs. I was on XXKPE when it happened. And than suddenly my phone started working fine until yesterday when this thing again happened and the problem still persists (I am still on KPE). I dont know what to do.
I think it can be some software problem as the screen and touch keys do work for some time before becoming unresponsive and even the logcat shows no problems for the touch screen. I am going to try more ROMs now. Will keep you posted.
Possible solution !!!
Friends, I think I found a possible solution for this issue. Though it seems to work for me... I have to keep the phone under observation for some days until I can say it's the final solution.
A similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695149
The possible cause for the touch screen going unresponsive seems not to be a hardware/software glitch; but environmental issue! And it doesn't depend on the ROM your'e running.
I noticed that most people from India having this issue say that this problem started in June, when the rainy season starts and it gets humid and damp.
In fact my phone showed this issue when it had rained for the last 2 days and it was very damp and humid inside the house.
You can do the following:
1. Take out the back cover, memory card, SIM and battery.
2. Place the backside of the phone near a hot air source (on top of a running CRT TV/monitor, hairdryer, laptop fan vent) for sometime.
3. Reassemble and check if the problem has gone away.
Do not panic if the handset gets a bit hot in the process!
In my case, I left it on the top grille of a CRT TV for a day which ran for 8hrs.
Do let me know if this works for you...

yes buddy they are correct this is because of the water, use hair drier or similar one which blows hot air then blow some hot air through charger pin so that it will drain the water in the mobile....
Note: use this for just few seconds or else it may damage the other parts...

Step One:
Dear, you can ask the SSC executive that if its so, then when I connect the charger or USB how does it working smoothly..?
The SSC guys are seriously Nuts. They just want to drag the matter from there soldiers to the customers. so, don't become fool from them. Ask them to give proper reason. Be clever & ask them to give proper response else you will report a case in Consumer Court.
Step Two:
If its correct as per MJ, then do what MJ said & Praise to GOD.
Ooopssss !!! this guy say he never dropped his phone into water but SSC say, it has been damaged...

I am having the same problem as tanveer4m. the touch will become responsive only when charging. In addition, the charging indicator is kept flashing eventhough i'm not connecting it to any power source. so, when the charging indicator is flashing, the phone is responding well, but when the battery reach below 20%, the charging indicator will not shown and the phone will become irresponsive. Can anyone help me with the problem?
i am currently using blueberry rom, and i tried to change to titanium kernel but the problem still persist.

take apart Samsung Galaxy R

Hello all,
My girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy R. But last night she left it outside. After a night of rain we found the phone the next morning.
It was still turned on. But after a few minutes the first problems begun.
My plan is to completely take it apart to dry it. I searched all over the internet but couldn't find any good tutorial.
Does any of you know where to find such information?
Put it in the rice... It helped for me..

Take the battery out and as karthik said put it in rice.
But DO NOT use a hairdryer!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
My Suggestion :
Have Patience as much as you can and do not turn on the Phone again until you are perfectly sure that its dried.
Put it in Rice as the other mates suggested. No need to Deassemble the phone yourself. All the best.
thank you
Ok thank you for all the support, its now in a pack of Rise.
We just wait a few days and than try again. Thanks for all the answers!
I hve similar experience...
You cant do much...except having patience....
But.. Keep it in a dry place and let the moisture dry out completely..
Take it to a local workshop, and clean it internally with smooth clothes....
Then use a blower with distance....
I had done it similar, when my phone fell off into my meal...and some liquid stuff (dal) entered inside.....
Now, my phone is working fine...
Sent from my GT-I9103
After a week of drying in Rise and a blower from a distance everything works, except the USB port.
The computer doesn't recognize the phone, and the phone doesn't recognize the charger.
I now have ordered a new USB port with PCB. Hopefully everything will work fine if I replace that one.
LATEST UPDATE: Received the port and placed it in the phone after a tutorial on youtube for the SII. Now everything works like a charm. Thanks for all the help!
