hi i dont know what is swrong with my phone. screen acting funky. friend says it might got wet. but how do i know where are the stickers i cant see them
So you have developed an invisible water sticker? This is the dev section.
But your stickers would be under the battery cover. A white dot, or red if water damaged.

...you would know if you dropped it into water ... The stickers wont change colours unless your phone got soaked.

The water sticker is on the battery. Its white and usually changes checkered blue or red when wet. Also do not post questions in the development forum please, There is a Q&A forum for that.

Seriously? How is this Development? A simple Google search would tell you about the sticker.
Moved to Q&A and Closed.

I dropped my phone yesterday and since then I see a small visible red dot on my screen! do u think i'll get this phone replaced from sprint?
no!........
Is there physical damage to the phone other than the dot? Assuming there is not, and no water damage, they would probably repair/replace if you don't mention it was from a fall.
It's bleeding, apply direct pressure!

When I had the OG Epic I had a pixel go bad so there was one green dot continuously on my phone. It drove me nuts. It was only a week old. I took it to get exchanged and they told me that there had to be 5 dead pixels for it to be eligible for exchange. I had to do some light negotiations saying I bought 3 lines, insurance on all, accessories, etc all from the Sprint store and they finally swapped it for a new one.

well no other physical damage, man oh man this sucks.. well i do have the equipment protection plan i'll go to sprint store and check it out..
Why people post this things in here.. You know there are lots of sprint tech/employees lurking in the shadows

It was a question. It is allowed to ask a question. Op isn't trying to fraud sprint. Besides why have protection that covers a fall if you can't drop it. Op take it in or get an app that helps stuck pixels.

Does anyone know if there is more then 1 water indicator on our SG2? And if so where? Can Tmobile actually open the phone apart and see if there was water damage to the phone besides looking at the water mark(s)?

Are you asking for help in defrauding T-Mobile with an insurance claim? Or is this a theoretical situation that never happened?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Probably the former.
No, t-mobile isn't going to open it.
Samsung will and they'll probably tell t-mobile what happened.

theoretical. so is there only 1 water mark?
There is the one under the battery which tmobile will check out. There are internal water detectors i believe that the manufacturer should check out if lets say you send it to samsung instead of tmobile. Not quite sure how thorough tmobile is as far as that goes. Better safe that sorry though. I like how people jump to the conclusion that by asking a question they are trying to scam t-mobile. LOL

Very unlikely although it is possible. It would be hard for them to say for certain that any discoloration on labels or anything was caused from liquid. 99% of the components inside the phone cannot be damaged by water unless there is power applied while wet. It the liquid acting as a conductor and shorting pins together that ruins the phone. That is why if you dry a phone well no damage occurs.
We wash all our circuit boards in a dishwasher and dry them before final test, to remove flux and resin, you cain't tell when they are dry that they have been washed.
how about if someone was selling me a phone and i wanted to make sure it was not water damage just because they change the water mark indicator behind the battery?! I have bought other phones then realized it was water damage when i tried to get warranty to cover it (iphone) pretty much got screwed over.
I wanted to know the very same thing when Telus gave me back my phone unrepaired saying that there was water-damage. I was angry because I had never wet the phone and the external indicators were clean.
I yelled and complained and the crappy shop they sent it to sent back photos of my phone's board. They circled some dirt/salt or something, but there were no internal indicators that I saw. When I contacted Samsung directly they fixed it for me and apologized for the 'confusion'.
If your external indicators are clean, then you can always argue that this proves you used your phone properly and normally (and kept it out of water). If internal indicators show liquid, its evidence of some kind of defect that the phone is unable to vent the humidity or something. I think this would stand in small claims court.

Yea but xda allows talk about hot spot work around, but it's against rules to talk about how change things to fraud Tmobile. Like water indicator, or black listed work around.

By your logic, OP is payed for the phone , he should be covered no matter what. Or he payed for insurance and should be covered even if the phone was dropped in a toilet.
and anyways, maybe he's buying a used phone and wants to check if its damaged. Cant just assume fraud
Either way, its best not to submit a claim if there has been any damage to the device. The fee can get a little large, usually more than the php claim
Does anyone know if there are hidden water damage stickers on this phone besides the one under the battery.

i believe that there is another sticker inside the phone somewhere, so t-mobile will open it and check for water damage just in case you wanted to send it back to them. Ive read it on a thread here before if i can find it ill post a link..
Ok i looked around but didnt see anything about it. If you find it and send me a link that would be great

if you are attempting to get around a phone warranty that is illegal to tamper with and then submit a claim. Just the same as claiming a lost phone and selling it on craigslist.

My concern is the missing 5 screws that hold your backing plate on. I've removed mine already...first day. If your backplate just fell off, your have serious warranty and build issues. I posted a thread in the general section with pictures.

I bought my phone used with some chipping, some scratches and even a mini dent on the chrome bezel, I've searched and seen this done on the uk version but I'm more interested in the T-Mobile American version as the bezel is attached to the frame that the LCD is glued to. I can get a replacement bezel with the mid frame and battery cover for $28 but I don't want to risk breaking the LCD when removing it from the glue.

There was somebody (i believe in the themes and apps section) who did and said it made the phone look more sleek. I've been considering doing it with a fine grit paper. As long as you take your time, you should be fine.

Someone did in the accessories section..he posted pics of it sanded down and it was just a black plastic finish underneath. I'm contemplating on doing the same and then painting it. Tried looking for it but I cant find it..its probably about 2 months ago. Replied in someone else's thread so not an easy find

yeah like the others have said. some guy posted it in the accessories section.. its not its own thread.. he just randomly posted it with several pictures... its just black plastic if you ever decided to sand it down. It actually looks pretty slick if your phone is black... like a matted black look. I think it'll look retarded if it was done on the white one..
Never thought about sanding the whole thing down and panting it another color.. fancy idea.
Yeah I'd just like to see it.
