Nokia First Cross-border Terminal Exposures: Configuration Greatly Upgraded

With the arrival of WP8 GDR3, Nokia will launch a series of large-screen smartphones. According to the latest news, the Nokia first Cross-border terminal will be released in October this year.

The terminal will be equipped with a six-inch screen, and even one more terminal will come out with 1080p and quad-core processors (screen size is unknown yet but at least will be six inches). Also, the terminal owns the 41 million pixel camera as Lumia 1020 does. Rumors goes that it may be exactly the upgrade version of Lumia 1020 equipped with the same Xiaolong 800 processor and 1080p screen. The only difference is the new one will be promoted to a larger screen size.

News also reveals that Nokia has designed the Lumia 82X as the upgrade version of Lumia 820. It will be with 720p screen and quad-core processors and Lumia 825 is said to be 5.2 inches. Moreover, Nokia tablets are going to be on sale as well in this September. Resources tell that they are set to be whether 10.5 inches or 8.5 inches. So, keep attention please. More wonders are waiting for you in the following two months.

How to Restore Soaked Phone to New

This low-end post is only for new hands, the highly skilled can click the fork in the upper right corner to leave.
First of all, don't panic, we put the case into three situations:
1. The phone fell into water when it is energized;
2. The phone fell into noncorrosive liquid when it is power cut;
3. The phone fell into unclean water when it is energized or fell into corrosive liquid, sticky liquid or other unclean liquid whether it is energized.

Here is my personal advice for the three different situations:

First, in the case that the phone fell into water when it is energized, you usually don't need to take apart the phone for processing.
1. Power off as soon as possible.
2. Forcibly shake it dry to get rid of the water in the screen, but don't drop the device. If water droplets remain within the screen, there will be marks when it's dried.
3. Put it under the desk lamp, light such slight heat sources to let the water evaporate slowly. This process requires more than six hours. Be patient. Don't use strong heat source such as hair dryer, which will screw things up.
After the three steps, generally, your device can work normally after it is wired up.

Second, the phone fell into noncorrosive liquid when it is power cut.
1. Shake it dry hard, but don't throw the device.
2. If there is no mark on the LCD screen, deal with it according to step 3 of the first case.
3. If something left on the screen and it is severe, don't tackle it according to the step 3 of the first case. Though it can make the electronic circuit work normally, the screen may be quite ugly. You can send it to the nearest maintenance department to handle it or open the device to clean up by yourself. (The one with poor hands-on skill had better send it to the professionals.)

Third, the phone fell into unclean water when it is energized or fell into corrosive liquid, sticky liquid or other unclean liquid whether it is energized.
1. Power off as soon as possible.
2. If it fell into the corrosive liquid (e.g., seawater), flush it with clean water immediately. Or put the device into clean water and try to dilute the internal corrosive liquid.
3. Disassemble the device as soon as possible, but be careful.
4. Clean it with alcohol or professional device-washing water.
5. Assemble. Or you can give the whole pack of parts to the maintenance point to clean up and assemble for you.

8. When the n7 screen says Unlocked, select "Start" by the volume button and confirm it by power button.
Once these steps are done, the bootloader is unlocked. Next, let's begin the rooting of Nexus 7 2.

TWRP Download:http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo
4. Make sure that your n7 is connected with computer and has entered bootloader mode, if not, please repeat step 4 and step 5 in the above unlocking toturial.

6. Once the rooting of TWRP is completed, the interface is still in Bootloader mode, please use volume down button to find out Recovery Mode and press power button to confirm;
7. Next, follow the steps below:

How to Restore a Wet Cell Phone

Dropped your cell phone in water? Don't panic so early. Even if your wet phone seems dead, there's still a good chance to recover it as new. But you have to act fast, because the longer the water stays inside, the greater the possibility it will ruin your phone. Depending on the kind of water, the degree of water damage and the time your phone was submerged you may be able to repair your wet phone. As water damage varies from case to case, we put the cases into three situations:
1. The phone fell into water when it is power-on;
2. The phone fell into noncorrosive liquid when it is power-off;
3. The phone fell into unclean water with power on or fell into corrosive liquid, sticky liquid or other unclean liquid whether it is power-off.

Here is my advice for the three different situations:

In the first situation, you usually don't need to take apart the phone.
1. Cut the power as soon as possible by removing the battery.
2. Shake it dry to get the water out, but be careful not to drop the device. If water drops remain inside the screen, there may be marks on it when it's dried.
3. Put it under the desk lamp, light or other slight heat sources to let the moisture evaporate slowly. This process requires more than six hours. Be patient. Mind that do not use strong heat source such as hair dryer, which will screw things up-it could warp internal components and melt adhesives.
After the three steps, generally, your cell phone can work normally after you switch it on.

In the second situation:
1. Shake your cell phone to get all the water out.
2. If there is no mark on the screen, deal with it according to step 3 of the first situation.
3. But if the cell phone is stained severely, don't tackle it in that way. Although it can make the electronic circuit work normally, the screen may not please to the eye. You can send it to the nearest maintenance department to handle it, or take it apart to dry it by yourself. (If you have poor hands-on skill, you'd better leave that to the professionals.)

In the third situation:
1. Take the battery out as soon as possible to cut the power.
2. If it fell into corrosive liquid (e.g., seawater), flush it with flesh water immediately or put it into clean water to dilute the internal corrosive liquid before it dries.
3. Disassemble the device as soon as possible, but be careful.
4. Clean it with alcohol or phone-washing special water.
5. Assemble. You can do it by yourself or leave the whole pack of parts to the maintenance point to dry it and assemble for you.

Wait at least a day or two before switching your cell phone on to see if it works.

Did it work for you? I am not sure that this will work in your case, but it is worth a try. With your timely action, your wet cell phone may be restored as new. Good luck!
