I was installing a full body shield on my phone today ( the kind where you have to wet the phone) and I think maybe I got some water into the phone, probably the charging port.
I left the battery out of the device for about an hour and put it back in and every thing was good. But then I connected it to the comp via usb and the comp recognized it, then didnt recognize it, endless cycle. I thought woah. Took out the battery, blow dried the charging port, left the battery out for a while. I connected again back to the computer and it seems fine.
Now I try to charge it.. weird stuff happening. I connect and let it charge for a while its fine.. then I disconnect and it still thinks its charging. After playing with the phone for a bit in battery settings it realizes its not charging fine. After a while I connect it to the charger, shows not charging, after a while shows charging via USB. Now again its not reconizing the charger.
I'm scared as **** and just took out the battery.. what do I do?

Have you tried the rice trick?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
some people say put battery in rice for 48 hrs to take away all water. Plus there is like a small litmus paper on battery, it usually is pink w stripes and changes color when it comes in contact w water. If the color hasnt changed you can still get the phone exchanged, but try the rice trick.
this phone doesnt have the liquid stickers.
here's the thing, it was such small amounts of water being used I don;t think rice would work. Like rice just waits for the water to come out and dries it so the phone is fine before you use it.
I'm pretty sure the water is already out, I'm stuck with a problem.
Can I Flash to stock, lock the bootloader and send for warranty.. or will they know there was water involved?
The (insert charger) popup keeps coming up as well. Repeatedly
Odds are, you ruined it the minute you put the battery back in and turned it on. You can try taking the battery out and putting it in rice, but odds are that the damage has already been done.
I'm pretty sure that all of the instructions for the wet application protectors tell you to leave the battery out for at least 12 hrs, preferably a full day, before putting it back in and turning it on, and that is pretty much the reason why. If water gets anywhere it's not supposed to be, it can cause damage to the components. Live and learn I guess.

This phone has 4 liquid stickers. I just found all of them. They all work.
One ON the battery, one above the battery by the gold power contacts and two under the plastic cover.

I just updated my post above because I realized it could be helpful ^
Good luck to you as well!
...and now it's being laggy. I'm guessing this is due to the device always seeing anf not seeing a usb input.
I;m going to replace the charging jack tmrw from a technician I know.. hopefully that would fix the problem.
I gave it to one of my tech's. He's gonna open it up and try to clean any water damage and see if the stickers are good.
I have 3 ways to proceed:
Send it to my carrier, they'll give me a new/refurb phone. Cons: 35$ fee, may get a refurb phone, need to unroot phone, if water damage found, im stuck with a bill for a new phone.
Send it to Samsung, they'll repair it. Cons: I'll have no phone for a while it takes them a week or two to repair it. Need to unroot. If water damage found, they'll send it back unrepaired.
Get my tech to repair it by changing the chargin jack flex cable. Cons: Gotta pay him a fee probably $50-60. If something else goes wrong with the water damage later on, I'm screwed.
Not sure what to do right now.
i rehoused me xperia play and when i tryed to turn it on i just got the blinking red light, so i bought a new battery that worked for 45 mins when it overheated to 47degress then died so i bought a external battery charger and the battery charges but when i put it in it overheats and dies in an hour and when it charges it gets even hotter and dies faster..... does anyone know how to fix this cause i cant afford to buy a new phone anytime soon
Are you using stock firmware or a custom one?
Stock
well the same thing happened to me..
i rehoused my mobile. but when i was closing up the phone, without putting in the back housing, i tried to switch on the phone so i would check if everything was fine or not. But what i did wrong here was that i just inserted the battery in wrong direction. Negative to the positive and vice versa. Nothing happened at that time, and the phone did not turn on. Upon realizing my mistake, i tried to power on my mobile again with the correct battery connections but this time the phone just wont turn on. There was a weird red light that started blinking and the phone just wont turn on.
so i completed the housing process thinking that maybe that was the problem and there was some sort of a sensor or something but that damn thing just wouldnt turn on. even if i put the mobile on charge it wouldnt turn on. so what i did was, i again opened up the back of my phone, deliberately put the battery in wrong position, tried to switch the phone on, and then i put the battery back again in the right direction and as i press the power button, walla, the phone is alive again.
BUT...
its getting HOT. damn HOT. after only being on for about 5 min, the battery got hot to 54C. upon inspection. i found out that the battery is not getting hot, but its the motherboard that is heating up.
i went to the service center, which opened up the board and found an IC that was damaged (caused by my battery mistake).
Found the IC from china. Ordered it, and TODAY it arrived. I will be going back to the service center, for replacement of the IC. If all is OK, i will let you know.
meanwhile, check out the pic of the IC that got damaged on my mobile during the process of rehousing and my stupidity.
hey thanks that helps cause i think i did the same thing with the battery...do u have a link to buy the new Ic?
FOUND a friend in china, and bought the IC from him ..
STATUS :
just now, after connecting the new IC, the phone has started working again. its NOT heating up. Everything is working fine..
EXCEPT
that now my phone shows no signals. In the settings when i search for other networks, i find many other networks also (MEANING THE TRANSMITTER IS WORKING FINE) but the phone just wont connect to my network and wont give me any signals.
I only get "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" status.
I am actually getting fed up of this set. Anyways, i hope u get the IC, and your phone works fine. ( I HOPE )

I did the exact same thing and have the same problem, but the difference is when i try the reverse method it still doesnt come on but cud i get a link to where u found the IC
The problem here is the same IC from the picture. Even though I found the replacement IC from China, I still couldn't get my set to start up normally without overheating. If you remove the IC from the board, the phone will start (even without the IC) but you will get no signals
For me, I was unable to get the phone back to its working condition. So I sold the phone as it was.

By inserting the battery in reversed position you probably caused some sort of short-circuit. You probably didn't burn only IC, but many different parts. When the part is damaged and short-circuit exist in it it heats up very very quickly as the current on this part (any many other parts that are connected with it) is very big (this also causes very quick battery drainage). So it means you had probably burnt the mainboard even if the phone switches on, so getting new mainboard is the only sollution to get the phone fully working (as I think you aren't proffessional who can diagnose and repair it. Neither do I ).
I hope this helped somehow.

Hello all I too have an xperia r800i play with the same problem or better the battery under the battery becomes very hot in a few minutes, and drain the battery quickly. Moreover, even when you plug in the charger not charging? only shows the loading icon but then not charged and only the LED flashing red?
And you can not start the phone FASTBOOT? because the LED flashes blue and then turns on a second phone in the normal
how can I do to fix?
thanks
Hey,
i have the same problem.
i tried isolating a pin from battery (the midle one) and i got it to work without heating, i thought it was fixed but then i took the battery back out and overheated again maybe theres something wrong with the pins any alternatives?
i did the same thing my phone is in the fridge now i boosted the battery by usb with bare wires got it started up hoping to get to 50% charge then try a reflash see if that works
My nokia was damaged by water. now as I plug it it just blinks ones vibrates, and it repeats all the time in period of couple seconds. As I think battery is dead, I removed and connected 3.7v to the pins on motherboard, phone is doing somthing like booting or smht. but screen is not working as it is damaged by water too.
So what can you recomend me what to do, how do you think phone is booting or not. do I have to spent money changing the screen? or maybe someone have used working screen and battery to sell?
Hi there,
it is always the wrong way to switch on your phone, after it fell into water...
Because if there got water inside, you'll destroy your phone by switching it on, as you are causing "short circuits" on the motherboard.
The only thing you can do now , is selling i would say.
If you have a water damage on your phone, do NOT switch it on! It's best to totally disassemble your phone, and remove the battery!!
The you should dry all parts of the phone (might take a couple of days)...
Somehow my HTC One X (tegra 3) phone must have bricked itself overnight. It will not turn on and when I connect the charger lead the light does not come on.
Since the phone is still under warranty I take it to Phones 4u, the guy there reckons that it is a battery fault (which makes sense to me, given the circumstances). Anyway that was all last week, today I get a phone call from P4U saying that it's going to cost me £125 to repair it because it is not under warranty. They are claiming that the phone has been opened before and the VOID sticker is damaged as is a load of the shielding tape inside the phone. This came as quite a shock to me since I bought the phone "new" from them last year and it has never been opened in the time that I have had it.
My theory is that the phone has a fault that is going to cost a lot to repair so Phones4U (Would it have been sent to HTC?) have either claimed that the phone has been damaged or they have damaged it so they can thieve some money from me.
Anyway, back to the point, has anyone else had this issue if so does anyone know how to resolve it (or if that's feasible)?

I'm on the same boat
Mine was off and i put it to charge and noticed that it wasnt charging. no light! it reboots. I'm on 5% charge
nothing on ADB/fastboot.
solution!
ATTENTION! HERE IS SOLUTION! MIGHT WORK FOR! IT WORKS FOR ME!
hi there! first of all i want to apologize as my english is not perfect.
now the story, i have this problem for 3 months now. nothing helps to permanently fix this. it started one day, my battery runned out while i was surfing internet, phone switched off as it does normally. i did put in on charger (original) but no charging light came on, i checked it after few hours but no light where there, phone was dead! i didnt worry to much and just left it there over night to charge, but in the morning i found that red light is still not on, not charged and completely dead. i did every method metioned on any forum- holding buttons, pulling sim out combination nothing helped!!!! my HOX is rooted with custom rom and latest HBOOT version. i were so dissapointed that my warranty is void. then i decided to take phone apart, take battery out and measure its voltage with multimeter, so i did that and battery was 3.18v. so i cut USB lead and charged battery up to around 3.8v that was wery tricky to do as HOX's battery have odd connector, after that i did put every thing together and phone turned ON, i did charge it normally to 100% which measures 4.2v in APP. calibrated battery by deleting batterystats.bin file. next day battery went flat, and exactly same thing happened again. it must be something wrong happening when phone swithing off by it self, it does not switching off completely that causing it not reacting to butttons. SO i think if i put in freezer for 10-15min it will kill the battery and cut power to phones PCB (eq = battery pull) because any button combo is not = battery pool. so i wrapped it in cling film to prevent condinsation and kept phone in freezer for 15min. do not attack me with commets like "cold temp killing LI-ion battery for ever" i dont care i dont want to hear any of these stuff i did what knowing that, cuz there is no real solution to this problem! it is sounds like crazy! i know! im am russian so im used to do crazy stuff ) after i took it from freezer my HOX felt like ice.. hooked up charger and WOALIA!!! red light started to blink = battery to low to swith on. after half an hour red light came on persistant and my phone swithed ON without problems. after few weeks i replaced battery with other one but no joy! still same thing, i used to do this for months because sometimes i wasnt able monitor battery and turn phone off manually before it reaches 1% charge. I did not experienced any battery life shortening (at least i didnt spot any serious life drops) I SUSPECT THIS IS SOFTWARE RELATED PROBLEM, SO PLEASE IF ANY DEVELOPER OR ANY ONE WHO IS KNOWS WHAT EXACTLY CAN CAUSE THIS, PLEASE LOOK AT THIS CASE. IT MIGHT BE A SOLUTION OTHER THAN MINE!! cuz in the end it sux putting ur phone to freezer
NOW - solution! kind off..
when u did my methot if it worked for you of coure.. you need APP from Playstore - LLAMA location profiles. in LLAMA app you can create action based on event. se lets make event BATTERY under x% and create action for that - POWER OFF PHONE! set delay for 2min so u can stop ongoing event once u on charger and ur battery is less set %. I did set it for 5% and 2 min delay just to be on safe side. once battery reaches 5% charge action is created after 2 min, and phone turns off. dont try to power it ON!!! if u did by accident, just turn it off once it booted! dont ask me for help using LLAMA it is not complicated as it looks, play aroud with charged battery, experiment. u can add additional actions like play sound + screen on+ vibrate+ power off. if that helped u press thanks button as this text took me whole hour to type
AND PLEASE SOMEONE SORT THIS! AS HTC ONE X' PCB NEED TO BE CUT FROM POWER TO RESET AND START CHARGING. I DO THAT BY DEPLEATING BATTERY CHARGE WHRE PCB CUTS OFF POWER. SUB-ZERO TEMP DOES THAT TO BATTERY, BUT WE NEED REAL SOLUTION!!
thank you if read this til end

I am pleased that I haven't had to do this! I argued with Phones4U a little more and they have agreed to replace the device, I think that the repair job was far too expensive for them to justify doing it. Hopefully will have a shiny new One X (or One X+ if they have no stock) by the end of today!

Merry Christmas everyone ,
Recently i booked a holiday for the parents to a Pent House in Jersey they had a lovely time with a nice roof top Jacuzzi. Now my dad, well.... had a few to drink and used his LG G4 in the Jacuzzi a bit too much with all the hot steam ect from the hot tub we think its caused damaged to the phone.
The phone from off, charges and once it hits around 4 or 5% it turns on attempts to boot LG logo appears and then it will go off and reboot. It will do this several times whilst plugged in. Sometimes it will get past the LG Logo and the vodafone screen appears but then reboot. or , sometimes it will come on all the way and start loading up the apps ect but then reboots.
Seems to me, this could possibly be a battery & charging issue? we purchased a new battery (tried new charges obvcourse) and the exact same problem occurs. I am not convinced the battery is getting enough charge to the phone to allow it boot up all the way however I dont have any way to fully charge it ? as the phone automatically turns on whilst charging.
Obcourse everything is taken out of the phone simcard / memory ect, but am struggling with this one. The problem we have is that all he wants to do is back up the data on the phone?
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks Craig

I'd say its a combination of the two
Its bootlooped because of heat
And its water damaged
Sorry to break to to you buy its good for the trash if you see this on the motherboard
Take it apart and see if the is oxidation on the motherboard before we try any other methods

I suspect it isn't battery problem if you tried another battery
If you open the phone and see no oxidation on the motherboard
Try one of these methods
