The rice method is possibly an urban legend; keeping your phone off for a while is the best thing to do by far (which of course correlates with using the rice method).

Rice is really good at absorbing moisture, I'm not sure how that's an urban legend.

Tunga posted:Because it actually isn't "really good" and because if you leave your phone anywhere dry for a few days the water will evaporate/absorb into surroundings anyway and what's actually happening is that the rice simply acts as a way to stop you going "oh maybe it's fixed now" every two hours. Rice is moderately hygroscopic. Sure if you have a lab desiccator or a bunch of dessicant material then that's better, but hey it's still better than nothing

I used to have a huge bag of silica gel from hobby lobby that I used for drying out mushrooms until I got a dehydrator. poo poo, on that note, I wonder if you could just stick the phone in a food dehydrator?

I've started seeing these pop up in our local grocery stores: http://dryboxrescue.com/ I only know of one friends who used it and he said it worked perfectly. Thinking of this thread, all I can picture is when you insert your phone, it just dumps it in a huge vat of rice. Organic of course (this *is* Austin, after all).

So I got my sister a Moto G3 for her birthday cause she managed to kill the last phone I got her. Now she's annoyed that the phone doesn't have a notification LED. Is there a way to, I don't know, flash the display regularly when theres a message waiting or something like that? Just something for her to tell if theres a notification without touching the phone?

edit: wait, DOES IT keep pulsing when there's a notification? That would explain why it turns on sometimes without physical provocation. I thought the accelerometer was just acting up.

Unless I'm getting my models confused, this article says that it does have a notification light, but it can get turned off and there's no setting for it, but there is a widget: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-fix-moto-g-notification-led e: No, apparently I am getting my models confused.

I have a problem getting the camera to focus on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha. It can focus, it just doesn't want to. It will actually focus very well on an object, but only for a second, then it goes back to blurry until I adjust the distance. It never focuses long enough to take the picture. Sometimes when I take a picture it will deliberately focus for the second before the picture is taken, just to show me how nice it would look if it wasn't blurry. I have googled for solutions but most seem to be about the app crashing or always being blurry. How do I make my phone respect me?

Moto seem to want to kill off the LED. There is actually an LED under the speaker that can be changed to work like a notification light however you have to root and even then it only works if the phone is plugged in. The Motorola's replacement is the active display which is cool when it works right. You can find it in the Moto app. The phone screen will come on when it receives notifications and also when its picked up initially.

I actually thought my S7 didn't have one for the first week I had it, I had to go digging through the settings to turn it on since apparently it was off by default. They must want us to use the always on display but when you turn that off it should enable the LED notification.

What's the best way to backup app's data without root? I am sending in my S7 Edge for a replacement, and I want to backup the data from my silly phone games like Super Hexagon, Adventure Capitalist and One Finger Death punch so I won't need to start again. From googling everyone recommends Titanium Backup, but it requires root.

Does Samsung Keis still work?
