please help....my wildfire s restarts itself when i get calls,but its ok to when i charge it...it fell in the water. Is there a way to sort this out.
Contact customer support. Only they can help you if its a liquid damage. Or you can try to remove all the water by using a heatgun or keep your phone in sunlight for few hour

Edited because I was steaming drunk and it didn't make sense.
So I went out and had a few to many drinks last night. Walking back I stumbled into a wall while texting which resulted in me dropping my phone on the floor and chipping and scratching the phone casing down to what appears to be silver.
Fortunately the phone is ok, but as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I won't be able to rest until It's fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing me here. I've looked at the guide and I don't know if is be confident enough to do it myself. If I paid HTC, would they replace it for me?

Offcourse... how much to pay, that is the question. If you pay them enough, they just give you a new phone ; ).

Only camera I have is my phone. The screen is fine, would've got chipped if I didn't have a screen protector on.
It's literally just the edges of the phone and most of the purple faceplate.

My guess is well over £100 from HTC.
The only risky thing that I can see in doing it yourself is removing the digitiser.
They could have made the build so as everything is not housed/mounted on to the inside of front fascia though.
Does anyone if you can replace the screen and how or where? Everything works I just cracked the screen

It's a pretty easy fix and you can buy replacement digitizers on eBay.
Link? Cause I really do not know what to look for

Yes you can, its not that hard with the proper tools, steady hands, and a nice clean place to work.

Good luck and godspeed.
I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.
You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.
I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy
Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.
i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!
Last week my phone got wet through rain in my pocket and the camera stopped working, the water sticker on the battery turned red, but the one under the metal pins has remained white, could i just put a new battery in it and send it off for repair?
or is there some other way that htc could tell it got wet? (its completely dry now everything is normal except the camera)
Thanks
Josh
Replace it with an original battery and tell some story to HTC.

Also I have debranded my phone not rooted, would this void the warranty?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
When you send your handset in to HTC, they do not need the battery back cover memory or sim card.
So you'll be alright! Provided there isnt a water strip in the headphone jack

Return to a stock HBOOT if you changed it and just flash the RRU of your carrier and send it off, Although HTC do not cover water damage...

There is possibly another water indicator inside the phone as well?

Hey
So I just damaged my phone, with some water, though it was not much, and not at all submerged or anything.
At first, my screen flickered, but after a while it just died, and now it doesn't charge or anything either.
Anyways, i'm put it in rice in the hopes that it may be working by tomorrow, but for the time being, I would like to know, that if I was to send it in for warranty, is there a water damage indicator?
I saw this thread, but I can't seem to find that strip, I assume because that is the AT&T/Telstra version, where as mine is the International Unlocked One (S720e)
Bottom line, is there a water damage indicator on the One X? If yes, where is it? And is it triggered by the slightest of moistures, or only if the phone is completely submerged?
Would really appreciate an answer, Thanks in advance
Cheers
There is no water damage lable. We call them LDI, but if there is liquid on your pcb it will be found.

Sorry LDI is short for liquid damage indicator and pcb is your mainboard. In short you will not get away with it of you send it in for repair

But the thing is, I put it in rice, so the moisture or water will be gone, but I'm afraid the battery might be shorted, so if there's no moisture, there is a chance they'll repair it?
And also, there is no LDI in the ONe X?
Thanks

Mine had some water on it a couple of months ago, but now the camera has stopped working, (its all green and flickering)
When I send it in for repair, they refused to repair it due to water dammage.
Is there anny way to force them into fixing my phone?

Give them money!!
Seriously, if they know it's damaged by water then there's no way to force them to fix under warranty .

A water damaged phone is always considered beyond economical repair as any and most likely all the parts would need replacing.
Basically it costs more to repair it than it would cost to buy a new phone.. So they don't bother with water damaged stuff. Best way, is if you do damage with liquid, to turn it off immediately and remove battery for at least 24 hours and preferably more whilst it dries (in rice etc or a specialised phone drying bag, you can easily find these online)
But generally, if you try to use it whilst wet it's gonna be short circuiting everything and breaking a lot of things (some permanently and some only until it's dry) which is the mistake most people make.

If my memory serves me correctly the LDI is at the base of the earphone jack

So as long as I understand: There is no LDI under the sim tray on Telstra version of One XL, is that true?
I ask this just incase I misunderstanding you.
Hi do you think it's worth putting my phone in water just to check its waterproofing. So can send back under warranty before i start modding,
As someone at work apparently put there z1(not the compact version) in a jug of water to show off and his phone stopped working.
So i was just wondering if it was Common for waterproofing to fail on these devices, and worth checking now rather than worrying about later.
Thnx

Yes I would. I did dunk mine into a bowl of water and let it sit there for like 5 minutes, there was no way I wouldn't have just to make sure.
Have done the same and all is working still.

I have read quite a few horror stories on the sony forum. I am not buying this phone to take a few silly pictures under water but just in case I need to use it under the rain or I drop it somewhere by accident. I am not gonna do any extreme tests unless I am forced to.
