Water Damage?

How can I tell if my warranty is going to be turned down for water damage? I have never had it in the water before, but the sticker on the back has the red crosses it.

I'm pretty sure that circle goes all dark red if you get water on it

You are right. the sticker will go all red or all pink depending on who made it. its suppose to have the X's in it.

sorry, didn't notice I posted that in the Dev forum...thanks for moving.

Wouldn't you know if you get your phone wet? I think you already know the answer to your question here I mean tray now.

In the retail stores we typically don't go by the liquid indicators because frequently they're inaccurate. We usually look for signs of corrosion, condensation or just plain liquid in the device.

A good way to dry your device out is to put it in a sealed ziplock bag with some rice...it works! Revived my girlfriend's iPhone and camera after both became submerged when a water bottle broke in her purse.

The "sticker" is the same litmus paper you use in chemistry- it changes colors with the presence of moisture. When I worked for a regional wireless carrier in my area and someone came in for a warranty replacement, that was the first thing we checked. There are usually 2; one in/around the battery compartment and one on the battery itself. I've also noticed lately some manufacturers put them under the phones housing. I've seen them change just from having your phone in the bathroom when you take a shower. Also, if it gets wet but all seems well, you're not in the clear yet. Sometimes it'll be ok at first but will eventually creep through the phone and corrode terminals/connections. Hope this helps. Its against my religion to use paragraphs.

The iPhone 3 is notorious for being overly sensitive to humidity; simply having your phone on you while you're sweating can get the sensor wet, as can having it in a humid environment such as a steamy bathroom. I haven't heard of anything quite this bad with other manufacturers, but the locations of the moisture indicators was also suboptimal; of the 4(?) in the phone, one is inside the headphone jack, while the other is next to the charging port.

Well...the thing about insurance is they want to pay out as little as possible. I've heard of some mobile insurance companies not covering moisture damage. Make sure you read the terms of coverage carefully before you start paying for something that may not help you at all.

Water damage sticker?

I had my phone apart to cool down.(it was getting pretty hot) and I was drinking some water. Something happened where I coughed a little up and a drop hit the exact spot where the water damage sticker is. Not the one on the batter but the one underneath. Does anyone know where I could buy a replacement sticker? All the repair parts sites I know don't have parts for our phone yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I need to send it back to T-mobile because the touch screen isn't responsive half the time.

Sounds like a well thought out story to me. None the less, ebay is your friend.

I've checked ebay. There is no need for me to make up a story. I'd admit if I did water damage my phone in any way because I can fix water damage. I repair cell phones for my job.

I'm not sure posting about your attempts to alter your liquid damage indicator onto a public forum is a good idea William.

If you rub the sticker while it is wet it will start to pill away from the phone. I have seen people bring in their phones to my store and you can tell when they tried to fix the indicator.

That's the worst luck EVER!!! I mean, a single drop of water just HAPPENED to fall directly on the water damage sticker, AND your screen stopped responding?!?!???
Well, it's a good thing you repair cell phones for a living, you can fix the damage yourself without filing a warranty claim and causing higher prices for the rest of us

Green stickers inside Galaxy Nexus

Hey all. I dismantled my Galaxy Nexus in hopes to fix my vibration squeal, and when I opened it up, I found tiny green stickers that are planted inside the housing. I attempted to remove one but they are stuck there pretty dang good. Check it out.
Plus, it's not a bad idea to take it apart just to clean it. Mine was dusty so I'm glad I did it. Make sure that if you do do this that you do it in an area that's safe from ESD, which electro-static discharge. That last thing you or I would want it to have your Galaxy Nexus be fried.
Anyway, what do you think these green stickers do and why are they there? To me it makes the phone kind of cheap because of this. But no bother.
Thanks.

It's possible that they are water damage stickers.
Also, I do not recommend people start ripping apart their Galaxy Nexus phones. This voids warranty and it's possible that there are parts in the phone that get snapped or moved if user opens it that will be noticed by the tech support technician.
Dust is not a problem for mobile phones, since modern phones don't have ventilation systems that depend on flow of cool air. Your phone would have to be in use in bad conditions for a very long time to need any internal 'dusting'.

They're not liquid sensors. Take out your battery and you'll see a white sticker with 16 purple x's. That's the liquid contact indicator. The green stickers serve another purpose which I have yet to muster up a reason for. Taking apart your device for exploration is not a big deal if you know what you're doing. Obviously don't literally rip the phone apart, come on. Be smart about it. Also, there are no internal warranty void stickers inside, so you have nothing to lose if your hands are skilled.

No way no how is this refurbished.i would be very sad if that were the case. I bought it back in November. Had the Samsung seal of greatness on it still intact. So I doubt it's refurbished. I took it apart to just check it out for myself, and it was toooooo easy to do.
Yeah ha, sending from an iPhone indeed. I have both units. Both I love equally. Haha.

maybe since you got it open you can check to see what the rattle is behind the camera? or maybe it is the camera sensor itself? dunno, but I noticed it the first day I bought it and seem just slightly annoyed by it. If you hold the phone in your hand and tap your finger near the camera lens you'll see what I'm talking about. Would be nice to know what it is.

No clue what they're for, but yours isn't the only device with them (so I doubt it was a refurb, as previously suggested).

It looks like they are possible being used as a buffer to protect the way the case rubs on some of the components. Possibly like an antistatic protectant

Replacement Glass / OEM Touch Lens ($5)

The glass is the digitizer... It also houses the soft keys as well. It is fused to the screen and will require a heat gun or heat plate to separate from the screen properly. This post is full of misinformation. You will need to purchase either both the screen and digitizer separately or as a single unit. It will be almost impossible for you to replace just the glass unless you have access to some very expensive equipment to separate it and fuse the replacement in place properly.

I've watched several videos on youtube showing the removal of just the screen from the digitizer on the S3. The guys on there use either a heat gun or hair dryer and don't have to disassemble the phone to replace just the glass. Do a search and watch a few and see if you want to tackle it. Mine has a crack in it and I'm considering trying it to see if I can.

You should always disassemble the device when applying heat to it for a repair. Heat kills electronics. There is plastic inside the phone that can and will melt when heat is applied. Like the power and volume buttons. Ribbon cables can also be damaged. There is also rubber inside.

Yeah, cause they never get left in a hot car. Or out in the hot August sun in Florida. Etc.
I'm not suggesting you use the max heat setting on one. Some common sense should be used.

Okay....This is a bad idea...
I used to work for the repair center at Sprint and I was quite good at it, it takes quite a lot of heat to remove those screens from the digitizer. If you apply that heat to an assembled phone, then at the very least you will destroy the LCD.
Also ribbons are VERRRRY sensitive.
And you should not be leaving your phone in the car in the summer...That is just stupid.

You also stated the videos were from the S3. A completely different phone.
If you want to kill your phone, that's all you. But do not come here telling people it is ok to do crazy stuff like that on their phone. I have worked in phone repair and small electronics repair for 6 years and know for a fact that it takes a high amount of heat to separate the digitizer assembly from the actual screen itself. There are proper methods of doing things, and then there is the method and shortcuts that some jackass came up with and got lucky on. But 90% of the time, it is a failure causing more damage if not completely breaking the device as a whole. Furthermore, A hot car in FL produces nothing compared to the heat of a heat gun or heat plate. And using a hair dryer? I am laughing at you right now.

Stop being a jerk. I didn't suggest anyone do anything but to check out a few videos and to make their OWN decision. I just love internet know-it-alls. If I decide to experiment on my phone, then what's it to anyone on here? My phone, my decision. If it works, then great, if not then guess what? It's my phone, my fault. Don't come on here with your holier than thou attitude and assume you know who you're calling out.
Again, I pointed out that there are people who have successfully removed their screens on their S3's. And the OP should check them out and decide for him/herself. As for the hair dryer, laugh all you want, but if you're gonna try it, then that's precisely what I would try first due to the low temperature output to see if it was even a viable option to unseat the glass from the adhesive beneath.
And lastly. Why not try a cheaper alternative if you need to replace the glass anyway? In my case, I'm not filing an insurance claim and I'm not going to get mine repaired at a repair center. So if I attempt just a screen replacement and I am unsuccessful, then I replace the digitizer/screen assy. anyway. I don't see what's so crazy about that.

I did not suggest you should leave your phone in a hot car. I'm merely illustrating a point. Todays phones go through quality control measures and I'm sure they test them in real world conditions. For a lot of people a phone is just a tool and sometimes they leave them places that you or I would probably would not because they are not as OCD about their electronics.

...did you even read our comments? If you use a heat gun on your assembled phone, you will likely FRY YOUR MOTHERBOARD. There will be no purchasing of new screen as you would need a whole new phone. Though these phones are only $180 these days.
Still you suggested something that is very likely to break a phone without so much as a "this might be a bad idea".
There are "internet-know-it-alls" and there are people who know what they are talking about. You are the former, we are the latter.

Thank you for setting me straight oh great one.

If you are ok with possibly breaking your phone even more then go for it. I like to DIY things too and sometimes the results are good and other times I break stuff. Either way its still fun. Let us know how it turns out.

I sell complete screens for $50 much easier to replace as well.

I think they are just worried noobs will find this thread on Google, destroy their phone, and blame xda as a whole; by not having really good warnings and fully testing something, it might give the false impression that it's a good idea when maybe it's not...
That said, everyone should be cool to each other, we're all working and learning together. Isn't the goal to have a good time and gain knowledge?

If you want to get the One X open you'll need to pop the screen out of the casing using a thin tool (or your thumbs if you're feeling brave).
The motherboard and everything else is attached to the screen, and is also secured by adhesive. Getting the phone open is not easy and you could easily damage it, so if you're going to try this be careful. There are a few vids on YouTube detailing how to open the One X.
Your success will depend on exactly what damage the water has done to the phone. If its fried the motherboard then it's pretty much game over. You may have got lucky and the damage may be restricted to the power flex cable or battery, which can be replaced. Both parts can be ordered for a very low price. Unfortunately the One X is one of the worst phones to drop in water, as you can't immediately take the battery or anything else out. It's very easy for this phone to short-circuit, though if you can get it to turn on and boot to the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen you have half a chance of salvaging it.

Actually taking the housing off is very easy.
Makes sure phone is off, take out sim tray then pop off the bottom.
Also rice may work but it doesn't absorb moisture that quickly, salt for example absorbs must faster than rice. Putting it in a tub (sandwich box type thing) with packets of silica gel (the random do not eat packets you get with shoes and stuff) would be far more effective.

Very easy is extremely misleading. The Phone is not meant to be taken apart and as a result it is not very easy to do so. I'd hate for anybody to read that and think they can just pop off the bottom without damaging anything. It wouldn't take much to crack the screen, damage the logic board or indeed one of the internal cables from just attempting to pop it off without any caution. You also have the issue of the insides being stuck down with adhesive, which makes it difficult to open the phone for the first time. It's easier upon subsequent attempts. The battery is also stuck down making it hard to get out.

Well, Max, connecting a wet phone to the mains and trying to power it on is possibly the worst thing you can ever do to a wet phone. I'd say there's no chance, unless for whatever reason you haven't fried the phone's guts already.

I think you might have just had loose casing for whatever reason. You only have to view a few vids on YouTube to see it isn't an easy process and it would be very easy to break something if done incorrectly.

First time was harder, applied quite a bit of force.
Once you get the pressure clips off you can feel the adhesive pealing off.
