My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle got out as quickly as I could what do i need to do to make it work again

My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle of water just a few moments ago .  Got it out as fast as I could  but can't take battery out for the droid maxx what do i do?

While there is nothing you can do to guarantee it will work again, there are things you can do to increase the chances.
Dry it off as best you can with a towel or some type of cloth. Do not try to turn it back on. If it is on, turn it off as soon as possible to lessen the chance of shorting out the phone. Place it in a sealed plastic bag with a dessicant for several days. Something similar to THIS would work best. They are the little bags which come in shoes/electronics to keep moisture from them, but if you do not have ready access put the phone in a sealed plastic bag filled with uncooked rice.
Leave it in for several days before taking it out and giving it a try.

  • I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL?

    I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL? major problem is that my current motorola phone is issued to me from my employer but phone ***** so i want to upgrade to the ipone i purchased but it still needs to work like my company phone as they pay the bill.  help me pls

    A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US.  The SIM is used only when not in the US.
    To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account.

  • HT201412 My ipod touch (3rd gen) is not responding at all. It wont turn off. It wont go into sleep mode. it wont connect to the computer or anything at all. also does not responed to touch. What do i do to make it work again?

    Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have iMac 27.  After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again.  anyone with same issue?

    I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week.  Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac.  i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional.  Anyone with same issue or ideas?

    I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
    Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • Does anyone have Bluetooth failures with Mot Razr Droid Maxx using car hands free systems

    Both my wife and I have Razr Droid Maxx's and are having the same problems with our respective cars.  At times, the phone will drop the bluetooth connection and it will have to be rebooted at which point it will be discovered and re-connected to the car.  The problem is NOT in the car, as we have a Ford Fusion and a Toyota Camry and we encounter the same problem with both.
    Both phones are running Ice Cream Sandwich and we have verified all of the bluetooth settings at both ends of the connection.For some reason the phones.
    The problem is particularly annoying in that, at least in the Camry, you are unable to reconnect the phone while driving, so you have to pull over and put the car in Park in order to do it.
    Verizon tech support and the Verizon store have been of no help.  They simply shrug their shoulders and say they have never heard of the problem.
    Has anyone else had issues like this?

    I use Razr HD Maxx and used to have bluetooth disconnect problems during the calls. I tried everything I could think of, all in vain. Factory-reset solved the problem only for a while. Finally, I have found that some communication apps like Viber have the nasty habit of asserting itself every few minutes during non-Viber calls and reset both the bluetooth and speakerphone state to the default mode. This causes bluetooth to disconnect or turn off the speakerphone a few minutes into every non-Viber call. If you have an app like Viber, try either freezing it or uninstalling it. Uninstalling Viber was the only permanent solution to my bluetooth disconnect problems.

  • Can't delete e-mail on droid maxx

    How do I delete unsent e-mails on my Droid Maxx

    Thank you for your reply
    I finally went down to a Verizon store and they were able to remove the 2 failed sent messages.  1 problem solved then I asked about another one that has come about, I am unable to connect my Droid to my PC by way of USB cable, when I took it into the store they made a few adjustments and said that it should work just fine now, Still getting the same message DEVICE MALFUNCTION can't install drives  for device, so I went into Youtube and looked at quite a few how to videos and downloaded a few suggested driver packs and still nothing.  There is alot of music on my old flip phone that I wanted to transfer over to my Droid MAXX .  I am 55 years old and not used to these new fangled things so any help would be very welcome.
    Thank You Mel

  • Can't activate DROID Maxx

    My DROID Maxx arrived in the mail yesterday, and I was unable to activate it.  I turned off my old phone, turned off everything on my old phone that uses data, and I was still unable to active my DROID with four bars.  Is there any sort of online activation that I can use when I have the DROID plugged into my PC, or is there something else I can do to activate it? Thanks
    -Chris

    Plugging the Droid Maxx into the computer is not going to activate it. On the Verizon website after you sigh in. Scroll down to a column on the lower left where you'll see Activate or Switch Device. You might be able to activate from there, on two previous occasions it didn't work for me, but you may have better luck.
    If that doesn't work you're gonna have to call them. But you can't call them from your old phone while the account of that old phone is still active, you'll need to use another phone. If you stop by a Verizon store they'll surely activate it for you very quickly. You're gonna like the Droid Maxx.  Goodluck

  • Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx

    Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx? With text messaging, you will see a badge icon, but I wasn't sure if you could do that for social networks, too.

        @cmabbott85,
    I can definitely understand how important it can be to get your Facebook or Twitter notifications on your phone.
    As @rcshnoor mentioned, each app does have the option to turn the notification on or off. You need to launch the App and go into the Menu. Then go to App Settings and make sure notifications are checked.

  • Transfer Facebook contact photos to Droid Maxx contact list

    My phone and Facebook are in Sync as far as sharing pictures, etc.  However, I can't figure out how to get my facebook friend pictures to post to my Droid Maxx contact list.  Anyone know how to do this?

        I know its important to have your pictures display on your social media sites and your contact list drdobbs83. You can try the steps below to help with this option.
      • From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
    If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People .
      • From the Groups tab, select the group to display.
    Below is another set of steps using the contacts application.
    The Contacts application uses an intelligent merge feature to combine contact information from various sources (Gmail, Microsoft® Exchange, Facebook, new entries, etc.). If contact information was joined in error, the information can be separated back into individual contacts.
      • From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
    If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People 
      • From the All contacts tab (located at the top), select a contact.
      • Select Menu (located in the upper right).
      • Select Edit.
      • Select Menu .
      • Select Join or separate
