As I was repacking my S4 to return it, I noticed a small white square sticker on the battery bay (bottom right). Anyone know what it is?
Watermark sticker. It changes color when wet, also if it is removed it tells them that someone messed with it.
its a conspiracy

hopefully there are some of you guys that can help me out
I did search the forum but didnt get the answers i needed
today my touch screen went out on my tmo branded tp2 and i am going to send it in for a warranty exchange. I need to know where all the water damage stickers are first, to my knowledge it has never seen water but you never know
so of the ones i have found so far there is one on the bottom of the battery and on on the inside lip when you take out the battery on the sd card side. there also appears to be one in the top left corner( small black circle where a screw should be)
i am wondering if there are any that i missed?
also what color are they supposed to be?
please help me out i love this phone and hoping that itll be covered under warranty so i dont have to use my insurance
pictures would also be very helpful
Thanks

nick, that sucks man! sorry I can't help you with the location, but I'm almost 100% certain that these stickers are basically like litmus paper. They are normally white, once wet, they turn light pink, or a heavy dose of water, full pink
The water damage sticker is underneath the battery on the inside lip. It'll be a white sticker unless your phone is water damaged.
yea the sticker is white and turns pink with a lil water damage or if it got steamed up if u left it in the bathroom with u and it turns red when it gets dropped in water there is only one you can see on the device which is on the wall below the bar codes. As long as that is fine and there are no broken pieces and u have stock rom back on the device and locked u will be fine.
They ask you to check them before, of course you can lie if they are pink since they can't tell over the phone but of course you'll see that nice hefty charge on your bill later. I did a warranty exchange with no problems for the SD slot not taking any of my cards, and they just asked me to take the battery out and look at that moisture sensor.
Hi all!
I just got my Desire yesterday and haven't had the time to root it yet.
When mocking around with the camera i noticed that on the screen there was a red line fairly centered. My initial thoughts was that this was like a center measuring point or something, but it turns out is sticks on the actual photos taken, like on the attached pictures (that are _completely_ untouched).
It's a bit transparent, so it's almost as if it's a line drawn by a red very thin marker.
It still shows after flipping the back cover off, and I can't see a drawn line on the actual optic (just tried with a regular magnifying glass ... nothing fancier than that).
Anyone had this same problem?
I'm thinking of sending it back since it seems to be a HW-defect, but just wanted to check in with you guys first
Hey!
I removed the NFC sticker at the back of the phone (red color) recently. Now the issue is there is a slight mark at the back (circular). I mean to say the red color at the portion where the NFC sticker was removed doesnt match with the rest of the back. Is there any solution. I tried washing it water but there is no change. Unable to wash of this color change.
Can you show a picture of what the sticker scar looks like?
Maybe touch up paint if you can match color.
Hi all,
I recently was given a bricked G3 from a family member that thinks it might be fixable but they couldn't be bothered trying to fix it themselves. I've been looking over the phone and am trying to determine whether there's any evidence of water damage. I know there's a water damage indicator on the battery, which doesn't help me as he doesn't have the original battery any longer. From what I've read there's supposed to be another water damage indicator on the body of the phone under where the battery sits. There is a tiny circle there, which I'm assuming is what people are referring to since I can't see anything else. It's not white, but it doesn't exactly look red either. Honestly, it's so small it's hard to make out exactly what color it is. I've also noticed a white circle near the upper left corner which looks to be a more appropriate size, but I don't know if that could be it or not. I've attached a pic showing what I'm talking about.
Could anyone tell me with certainty where exactly this indicator is on the G3?
Thanks
To the left of the battery prongs, should be white with red x's
Hello guys.
Anyone have any idea what's the device's color code, so that I could maybe use a permanent black/deep gray variant marker to repair tiny chips along the edges?
It's not for me to resell the phone, it's moreso for me to undo those tiny wear marks.
Anyone used something of the sort thus far?
Thanks
Ask HTC, they should probably know. Their support is pretty decent.
