Well mine seems to be, at least to some degree. Happened a few weeks ago after throwing back a few brews. Phone was in my hoodie side pocket with no case.
Went tie my pants (was wearing scrubs) after taking a piss, and the phone slipped right into the toilet. Even in my state of non-sobriety I quickly grabbed the phone. I don't think it was completely submerged at any point. Made the mistake of not turning it off immediately, b/c the phone never turned off by itself. I even tried making a call to see if anything was damaged, against my better judgement. Then I realized I was being an idiot and needed to just let it dry out.
I let it dry out for 24 hours in a rice bag. Not sure if that actually does anything, but I was up for trying anything at that point.
Thank the heavens, phone works without any problems. Hopefully there are no long term problems with the circuitry. I did make sure to clean it thoroughly after the incident
Anyone else with any close calls?
Why do you pee with your pants around your ankles? Do you sit down when you pee? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54t0iyp_udc
I put my phone in the toilet to test your theory and now it's broken. Thanks!

I had my old HTC MDA fall out of my hoodie pocket into a urinal. I sold it on eBay for $50, said it had "water damage". I now make sure my phones go into my pants pockets while I am peeing.

dropped mine into the tub had about an inch of water cover before i pulled it out. i thought it was bricked. audio and certain options would not work for awhile about 30 min if that. dried it out and everything has been fine. i immediately pulled battery and noticed no water got inside the rear.
I know what phone I am going to suggest to my dad who I think has lost two phones in a lake while on his boat lol. Water damage runs in the family I guess.

This reminds me of a review for a pro video camera. I forget what camera it was but the guy was on a shoot and lost it in the Amazon. Thinking he just destroyed this $20k camera he rigged it up to a pole by a campfire overjoyed and a couple of days later it worked fine.

Is everyone just missing the fact that he took it out of the toilet and used it (lets hope you didnt hold it up to your ear) while it was still wet with nasty ass toilet water? that's pretty gross man,
first thing I would have done is pull the battery and give it a good disinfecting then let it dry.. Hopefully it was your house bathroom, if not even grosser lol I knew a guy once that dropped his blackberry into a toilet in a bar and just left it there. lol

I lost mine in a urinal at the Cracker Barrel, which is a relitivly clean establishment. If it was a bar, I dunno. First thing I did was get some paper towel and toss my phone in the sink for a quick rinse, then I wrapped it up in more paper towel so I wouldn't get infected my urinal nastiness.

Seriously dude, you need to let that thing air out for a day. I HIGHLY recommend disassembling it.
Believe it or not, the majority of phones we reject for liquid damage are not because of standing water short-circuiting the board or it's components, but rather water that has been left sit, and the board then corrodes. Alot of the effects of water on the board are not realized until after the water has sat for a while, and components start to calcify or rust. Just because the phone didn't fail immediately, does NOT mean you don't have a ticking time bomb of water in there.

If he ever brings it in for repair, they will notice immediately that it was exposed to water.
i dropped mine in water a few weeks ago at work. the battery cover came off and the battery got soaked. after it dried over night it worked, but acted weird for a few weeks. now its like nothing ever happened

I generally do not recommend rice, as it's pretty much a red herring for us to start looking for minute corrosion. Taking this phone apart is not difficult, all that is required is a small Phillips head and plastic thin enough to wedge between the screen and the bezel (or long fingernails lol).
Pat dry wet spots with a soft cloth; if youre really ambitious you can scrub small amounts of denatured alcohol on affected areas.

I used a air compresser on full blasted everything. Took battery out and everything and used that air. Lets see what happens. Strange thing is the white battery indicator didn't turn red. I honestly think I took that thing out of the water so fast nothing happened. Hopefully it'll stay working.

That's a good idea. Chances are that there is still water inside, for that reason, I would suggest letting it dry for a couple days. It's completely up to you, but the water will only harm the electronics if the phone is actually on. It only takes one drop in the wrong spot and it's all over, know what I mean? And it has been mentioned before, but they will not cover it if you bring it in, because they will see it has been in water.
It may not fail now but it will fail on you when you need it the most. Corrosion is a mother.

This happened to me after I got home from my friends house. I was drunk and am tipsey now lol. Well I was soaking my feet in my bath tub and on the phone with my best friend and my phone fell and was submerged for a good 2-3 seconds but it did have a ballistic case on it. Immediately pulled it out took off the case pulled the battery sucked on every port to see if there was any water and left it on a radiator all night. Put battery in next day nothing was wrong.
Edit I asked him the next day I was like my phone fell in water and he's like no wonder you sounded so distant. I was like holy ****ing **** I was pissed at the time.

I been on sprint network ever since they came to Los Angeles... Idk 15 years. Had the Sanyo contractor grade flip phone... IM a plumber... Was running some copper pipe in a ditch and my Sanyo slipped from shirt pocket into a pool of water.... I swear I heard it make a couple of electrical short circuit hisses and Sparks just before I plucked her from the water. I took off the back cover and removed the battery. Then I placed the shop vacuum hose on the back of phone, plugged it in and let it suck it dry for 30 minutes. Then I left it on my hot auto dash for another hour. After that the phone powered on and worked well for two more years.

Even having your phone in your pocket on hot days can get moisture going inside your phone. I got my Nexus wet by a glass of spilled water and the camera stopped working. I immediately opened it up and let it dey out. Everything except the camera worked perfect. I finally (after a few months) took it to a repair store (I always insure my phones) and the tech replaced the camera and no go. He then showed me how the corrosion started spreading through the phone. Luckily he hooked me up and ordered me another one after seeing my Epic Touch otherwise I would have had to pay the deductible. Moral of the story...even be careful keeping your phone in your pockets if you think you may get sweaty. I have a velvet pouch I keep mine in now. Also squshy knows his stuff when it comes to care/repair of these devices.

You need to carefully disassemble the phone if your unsure dont do it then dehumidfy your room as much as possible let it air dry and hope for the best dont wipe anything on the inside so as not to do more damage and hope for the best

i never dropped my EVO
technically speaking, I've never dropped it. But I've bent over and had it fallout of my vest pocket. I've had the usb cord check on my jacket and watch it hit the ground. The pocket fall cause the most damage, with deep scratches to two corners. No problems to the screen, but I have the InvisiShield on it.
To me, as long as the screen isn't messed up and the phone works right, I'm ok with some wear and tear. And I can care less about a batter cover, easily replaced.
i drop it all the time, cracked the screen only 2 times tho.
my evo has MANY battle scars of white paint chipped away that is now orange
I got my EVO ASAP, 3 days later it was sitting on my lap, I get out of the car phone hits the pavement and screens smashed ...Insurance said phone was too new, they didn't have any and I was forced to outright buy another EVO....2 evos, 5 days

I've dropped mine a hundred times, but never shattered or scratched the screen. I don't use a case or screen protector, so I have quite a few scratches on the corners. It still works though, so I'm happy.
You do deserve a reward, I can't go more than a week or two without dropping it on a solid surface.
Dropped phone from about 2.5-3.5 feet, screen cracked halfway down left side, spiderwebbed, no response and sides bulging, picked it up and threw it at the wall because I was in a heated argument ...
Last words?
When you buy this phone, get a case. There were no cases available when i bought phone, went to radio shack a month later after their 'we have every case for every phone' commercial, they had no case for this phone, was going to get one later today at the sprint kiosk... not anymore. Goodbye Optimus G ;(
You throw things in arguments?
That really sucks man. Sorry to hear it.
Drop results are very hit and miss with this phone it seems. Most people seem to have very good results, but when it breaks, the danged thing BREAKS. Hope you had insurance or some other measure to get a new one soon.
I wouldn't throw this phone even if somebody paid me money to buy 2 of them afterwards. Glad I don't rage like that.
Bought an Otterbox Commuter from Amazon the day I got my phone. Dropped it tons of times, still good as new.
Drop is when you "drop" something and it is pulled by the gravitation.
Throw is when you use force to push something at something.
When you "drop" something 3-4 feet, it will have about the same impact, considering equivalent weight. The resulting impact is affected by only the weight, the distance and the gravitational force. 3-4 feet drop will have a similar impact when using similar weight.
When you throw something, the distance is affecting the impact in a lot lesser matter. The main item affecting the impact is then the force in which it was thrown, so saying your phone is broken “because” of a 3-4 feet drop is a misdirection. The thing that broke your phone is the force you applied when you threw it.
All that to say, get a stress ball dude!

So far, so good. No case, and I've had it about a month. No scratches, scuffs, or anything.
Mine developed a pretty nasty scratch on the screen--how, I don't know. I can feel it with my fingertip too, which is quite annoying.
I've had mine about 6 months or so, and I've been using it without any case or screen protector. Dropped it many times, even on concrete. Just few scratches on bezel. Nothing on the screen.
Had mine close to a year now. Bought a case, rarely use it. Dropped it hard on icy cement from a standing position. Which an iPad user found hilarious mimicking the "Droid" startup sound immediately. Picked up the phone, worried, looked at it and it virtually smiled at me. Not a scratch anywhere. Not on the back, not on the screen, and none on the corners.

I have a case but rarely use it since it makes it feel bulky in my pocket. I have dropped it many times and really the only scratches on the bezel are there because I keep my phone in the same pocket as my keys.
No case, but I do have a screen protector. had first drop today off desk and onto one of the legs of my chair, but the cracking sound I heard seemed to be the chair. Phone came out unharmed
I have a barely there case along with generic screen saver and mine looks like the day I got it (not a single scratch or blemish). I have dropped it about 10 times and NOTHING. bought mine used btw and it was flawless when I received it. By far the most durable phone I've had so far. Motorola phones in general seem well built.

Dropped onto foot then kicked across uneven concrete sidewalk, leading to small scuffs on back bezel corners. Once smacked it into the rim of a glass, causing a small dent in the bezel. Other than that it's been good.

Yeah, I accidentally knocked mine into the bathroom sink full of water.The micr-sd card was already on its last legs and the water finished it off. And the external speaker wasn't as loud as normal for about a day and a half until it completely dried out. But it works fine now and the sd card was replaced by sandisk's warranty.
I've dropped mine an innumerable number of times on concrete with no damage to usability. My OCD hates the scratches on the bevel, but nothing on the screen or elsewhere. The worst I've had is the bottom part of the case came loose one time when I really, really hit it hard on the ground. Still going fine...
Dropped mine taking out of my pocket, cracked the back glass thing. Then dropped in water sink for a sec accidentally, phone wouldn't work for about a day, now it's fine though. Just not waterproof anymore

too tough
Some time back I was driving a 1994 Cadillac, disgusted with how my conversation had gone, i threw my Iphone4S on to my dashboard, where it bounced and hit the windshield, and shattered the phone beyond useability.... that's what put me in the market for a new phone.
Grabbed a Razr M, and in short time history repeats itself....threw it against the dash, into the glass....the Razr M spidered the windshield....... happy to know I can replace a windshield in a 2006 Dodge Ram for $155, that still $44 less than the deductible for the Iphone4s.

How about this one? This happened the 1st day I had the phone. I was roofing house and the phone accidently slipped out of my hand. I watched it slide down the roof and disappear over the edge then I heard it hit the concrete walkway 2 stories below. I didn't even bother to look at it or let alone want to go pick up the pieces as I figured it was destroyed. 2 of my workers saw the whole thing happen and kept busting me about killing my new phone in less than a day. A couple minutes later I heard a phone ringing and yelled for someone to answer it. The other 2 guys on the roof with me both responded that it wasn't their phone. It took a while for it to dawn on me that it was my phone I had just dropped ringing on the ground below so I decided to investigate. I climbed down the ladder and was amazed to find the phone in one piece with the screen side up. I picked it up hit the power button and was shocked when the screen turned on and had no cracks. I have no idea how the phone actually impacted the concrete after falling off the roof but the only damage was some scrapes on the bezel. I consider the build quality and design of this phone to be amazing especially compared to a friends S3 which didn't survive a fall from a kitchen counter after being swatted by his cat.
Great story! However, in this one, the cat is the Legend!

I get home later that day and she meets me at the door saying that we have mice in the wall... I knew when she said that what it was... I tell her to call my phone and sure enough the rattle in the wall she had been hearing was my phone... I cut it out and nothing but some dry wall on the corner... after a vigorous scrub you can't even tell....
