Pulling battery should sort it out and make it boot normally.
Google keyboard is so weird, its learnt that I use the word "FUCKIN" a lot and the next predictive word after it is "YOOOOOOOO", what the fuck it auto corrects to this shit too

[QUOTE=tratzzz;44867643]a girls S3 went swimming and now does this [img]http://u.cubeupload.com/tratzzz/10364409621578447932.jpg[/img] somebody explain what it is doing/how to fix?[/QUOTE] If it's booting straight to that screen, the volume up button is pressing down somehow, probably a short caused by water damage. Or maybe it was volume down. Power down, put it in rice for what, a few days I believe. If it still goes to that screen, there's a few possible options. Either the physical key is broken, or a contact is shorting, so you need to disassemble and fix/replace, or the Flash memory is fucked so you either need to flash the OS with ODIN, or the Flash is properly dead and the phone's motherboard is now useless.

Moisture was probably shorting the button out. I'd give it more than a few hours though.

Do you guys keep data on the entire day when you're out and about or do you toggle it on and off when you're using/not using it?
I keep data on 24/7. I have unlimited, so no reason to turn it off.
If I turn off data I can't get messages. That's just not acceptable.
Wait, what? What kind of retarded phone/provider do you have?
Nexus 4 burns through so much battery with data on for me that I have to turn it on and off so many times a day just to use my phone through the day
I'd imagine my Nexus 5 would die out faster if I had mobile data
[QUOTE=cubis;44871165]Nexus 4 burns through so much battery with data on for me that I have to turn it on and off so many times a day just to use my phone through the day[/QUOTE] When I installed Omni the problem with my N4 burning through battery with data on ended I can have my 3G on even if it's inactive and the phone will drop at a slow rate and when I'm using an app like messenger it works pretty well
I used to turn off my unlimited data on my S3 because the battery would plummet otherwise
after 7 months of dealing with touchwiz I finally installed Slim 4.4.2 on my note 3 and I can say, without a doubt that stock android feels sooo much better than bloated touchwiz. Kinda sucks that there is no S-pen support, but I'll sacrifice a feature that I don't use all that often for speed and battery life any day
[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;44872139]I used to turn off my unlimited data on my S3 because the battery would plummet otherwise[/QUOTE] I have to still do this every once and a while and I know a few mates who have a S3 or S4 continually shut off the data when they're not using it
The only time I ever turn my data off is when I put my phone in Airplane mode whenever I drive through or will be in areas without service. I go for drives through areas which don't have any sort of cell phone service period, Oregon has incredibly poor cell service anywhere outside of towns. Unless you're on the I-5 corridor even Verizon doesn't cover generally about 1/2 of the area between different places. Speaking of data usage, I love T-Mobile. 35-55mbps LTE connections and unlimited data. Unlike my terrible Comcast connection it doesn't go down for maintenance about every week for a few hours at night and doesn't randomly decide to throttle Netflix and block them out for a few minutes if watching for a few hours. Hopefully someday I can just fucking dump Comcast for the garbage worthless shit that it is and simply use a tethered android phone to my home router. I should really try using a couple hundred gigs and see what happens :v: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5601782/LG_G2/2014-05-22%2002.49.07.png[/t]
My plan with sprint is a killer deal, and the customer service has been great in my experience, but the actual reception is...meh at best. [editline]21st May 2014[/editline] When I have full bars it's great. When I have full bars.
Thoroughly impressed with my Nexus 5. I've been at work, playing games with a bluetooth controller since it's slow. A few hours of gaming overall, as well as general phone use. Eight hours later, it's at roughly 20% left.
Here's my speed with T-Mobile under peak hours. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5601782/LG_G2/2014-05-22%2004.06.25.png[/t] Here's my speed with Sprint because there's only one LTE tower in this area of 400k people and it's not on this side of town.

You just reminded me to check, since I just switched carriers and all. [t]http://i.imgur.com/wC8l2A7.png[/t] Holy shit, thank you AT&T.
I can see I-5 from my balcony, it's maybe two football fields away, and I still can only manage 2-3 bars here. [editline]21st May 2014[/editline] With 1 bar, my ping is 65ms, 1.86Mbps down and 1.28Mbps up.

Fuck, I've never got speeds slower than 8mbps ever with T-Mobile as far as I can remember since they put in their HSPA network. Even when it was HSPA 14.4.. Sadly Sprint only gets 8-14 mbps off peak in the only LTE area here, I honestly don't even consider them to be competing at this point as 2009 T-Mobile is still doing a better job.

You're lucky as AT&T hasn't expanded their network here at all and it's still similar to what Sprint is like as they both jumped on expanding too quick and didn't build up enough. AT&T is a bit faster and has more LTE towers though.

I look at it when I go to work, didn't know it was theirs. I just got home from work and ran another speed test. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Rlibe88.png[/t] Still great. Good provider choice for where I live and work!
I ran the speed test again a couple of hours later and got 7.5~mbps down and 5mbps up. :v: [editline]22nd May 2014[/editline] I checked the coverage maps and I'm surrounded by 4G. They have this thing called spark they're "deploying" that's supposed to be faster, but it's not here in Washington yet. :\ [editline]22nd May 2014[/editline] They claim 50-60mbps on their spark towers.
When I got my S3 they didn't give me a new sim card so rather than 4G, i'm still on 2g. Doesn't bother me as I rarely use mobile data and 2g is enough to browse reddit.
You should be on 3G then, that doesn't require a special sim card.
[QUOTE=Gulen;44876132]You should be on 3G then, that doesn't require a special sim card.[/QUOTE] The sim card is about 12 years old. I kept the same sim since my very first phone. Got my first phone in 2002 which is like 3 years before 3G became popular.
