You may have connected the phone too early. What I normally do is to select the flash file first, then wait until the prompt comes up for me to connect my phone, before I actually connect the phone via flash mode.

So i should start flashtool first, select flashmode, then select te firmware,then plug my phone to PC then click flash?

This should be the correct sequence: start the Flashtool program, click on the lightning icon, choose flashmode, select the appropriate firmware, click on the Flash button, let the program prepare the files, wait until a prompt appears for you to connect your device, then plug your phone to the PC in flashmode.

Can't help. I only use the flashtool once thus unable to assist.

I know it is water resistant and not waterproof just in case.
What i did was just soap and rinse, not submerged for few good minutes or like what they used to advertised, take it to shower with me. LOL

Your case is very special lei. Never experience before.

Normally, I wash is due to very dirty. (Don't ask what I did LOL)

I dislike 1 thing, after putting into water the external speaker volume goes super soft.....

has the recent google play service update (ver 5) fixed the battery drain issue for u guys?

 

[hueman]

I have tried, but since I am overseas, and didn't have data access, i can't tell the difference.

I managed to fix my batt drain the first time round. But after the upgrade to Google Play services, I notice Google Play Services straightaway shot up to the top of the batt usage. So I believe the problem is not solved. Luckily I managed to fix it again by uninstalling the updates to Google Play. Even though the updates to Google Play will reinstall after a while, but I no longer see Google Play services anywhere near the top of the list.

yup no drain even with location on. you can always verify by checking batt usage after the google play auto-update again.

Not green light. It's. just like negative firm but greenish instead. Taking picture at day light or outdoor is ok.
