Pouring salt water on mine has not only allowed it to run cooler throughout the day but also allowed me to run at 2.8ghz. Thanks!

I prefer to dunk it in water, much better at cooling :good:
Salt water didn't work well for me. I used distilled water with ice. Works very well; plus it is cleaner

Guys.. I did what you guys suggested, but my phone didn't perform any better.
I guess the overheating problem is solved because the phone doesn't even turn on anymore!
What do I do now? /:
.. lol.
I went straight to Antifreeze to help with heat soak..
On a serious note. After an Hour of HEAVY use i can feel my Hot phone through my Otterbox Commuter.. Doesnt scare me. Ive had my HTC Sensation over 130* F and it still held up...
Will distilled/deionized water actually damage the phone? Serious q.

Short answer is no. It is however easy to taint the water if not in a closed loop. This also assumes there is no aluminum and copper mixing.
Gotta love home made water cooling gone wrong.... Dun dun dunnnnn!

Hey guys I spilled some apple juice on my phone (I know I'm pissed to) but now my accelerometer works sometimes like ill boot the phone and it will work fine then nothing from another reboot. Its weird. Any ideas?

Probably got wet on the board. Shorted something out. I see this happen all the time at work.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Crap thats what i thought. Why is it working on and off then? I figured of it shorted out it would be dead for good (the accelerometer i guess). You think if i take the phone apart and clean up the board I might revive it?

Clean it with some high percentage alcohol, I think its over 91% with a toothbrush after you take it apart. I've seen it work miracles.

Me too. I usually use cotton swabs, alcohol, and canned air. Ill give it a go at work tomorrow. Any good guides on how to take this thing apart

It's probably working until it gets hot enough to expand and then breaks the circuit.

Well it hasn't been working since last night whether the phone is hot or cold but I'm still going t clean it. I'm hoping just the sticky left over apple juice is causing the short and cleaning it will work it out

there is just to much everywere. would it be overkill if I let the mainboard and the case (minus the battery) soak in alcohol for like 10 to 20 minutes and then blow dry them?
Probably

hmm well I just dabbed little drops of alcohol on the internal parts and were the apple juice was and blew it out with canned, and I'm going to let it dry now for a while before I put it back together.
Alright it is dead the accelerometer and the light sensor are not working even after cleaning. Anybody have a doner phone? Ha ha

If you were careful taking it apart and cleaned it good, you may be able to take it in to Sprint and have it replaced. Idk if there is any litmus paper to show it got wet though.

I already tried they wont let me. but something else that's weird, I thought maybe restoring back to stock might work if its something software related to I tried restoring to zv7 with the link in the IRC using lgnpst and lgnpst is not flashing the bootloader or anything for that matter. any ideas why? I can get the phone in download mode and lgnpst does its regular thing, the phone reboots at 67% like normal, then it sits at the 4g LTE logo on the boot animation until it overheats and shuts off. I tried getting into the bootloader and it will not show it. if I hold vol up+vol down+power, it just goes straight to the boot animation from a cold start.

They showed an iPhone getting dunked in a bucket of water. Interesting idea. Would anybody ever try this on their phone/tablet/keyboard/laptop?
Now that I took a better look, it's a Sprint iPhone. No better iPhone to dunk in water. Just sayin.

That's really neat technology, but I wouldn't do it to the phone I paid $600 for. To be honest, water damage is the least of my concerns. I'm far more likely to drop it on pavement or gravel.

I sure hope you weren't a can of hydrophobic solution!
I remember seeing the first videos for this and thought it seems awesome. Many kinds of possibilities for the stuff. Just wondering how clear of a coating this stuff is, if it'll affect the touch sensitivity much, heat dissipation, and if it'll muffle the speakers and mic.

What about the connectors for battery, sd and sim cards, headphone jack, usb port.....I'm assuming you'd have to scrape the stuff off of where ever there needs to be bare metal for a connection. If anyone does this be extremely careful of the usb/charging port! It can be easily damaged. And this stuff probably won't be easy to get out of a headphone jack if it blocks the connection.
I'm also curious about the effect it has on the sound, but more importantly the mic. Will others be able to hear you as well?
I'm cautiously optimistic with this stuff. It is awesome, but for a smart phone, I don't know. Kinda wonder if they were just using it as an extreme demonstration, like the guy with a screen door in the bottom of the boat. Sure it can be done, but it is never actually recommended you do so.
Not trying to be a downer, just thinking of all the angles to look at before doing a $600 test. Be careful! And good luck! I really do hope it works w/o any issues!
Oh and someone asked about touchscreen sensitivity. They did not apply it to the screen.

Ouch dude. I'm sorry that happened...I would be crying if that happened to me. It sounds like a lot of water is inside the phone and would take quiet a while for the rice to do its job. Make sure to not keep the device powered on. Remove the battery ASAP and then toss the phone in a bag of rice and let it sit for a few days. You could try setting it in front of a fan too for a few hours/days. I'm surprised the phone didn't short out yet.

Front camera is still shot and usb port damaged i guess it charges but even when i unplug it it still says its charging but battery level keeps going lower not higher. I guess i will give it a few more days then get it repaired if needed. Tried to open the phone myself and got every screw out but the one on the side and just my luck it stripped so needless to say I couldn't get the back off without breaking it...go figure!!!!

Keeping the phone powered on and trying to charge it was by far the worst thing to do. You should have removed the battery right when you got it from outside and put it into rice or let it air-dry for a long time. Obviously it's too late now but for the future just remember that for any of your electronics.
Sucks about the stripped screw. Been there done that lots of times. Those kinds of screws require a really good screwdriver.

The test is meant to demonstrate that you're not screwed if you accidentally get water in/on your phone. It's not meant to demonstrate or to even say that this phone is waterproof.

So now we got two confirmations. Maybe we can get LG to confirm it as well? Can someone record a video of it under running water or inside a pool? If this is true, this is an amazing news and should've been a feature called out by LG against Samsung.

There's a water damage sticker clearly present on the side of the battery area. I highly doubt they made it a hidden feature. It may do well to protect itself, but i still don't trust it in water until there's more evidence of it not being harmful.
Sent from my LG G3
I kinda like that they didn't mention it. People won't be idiots with their phones, but if something does go crashingly wrong there's protection in place. I really do wonder how many people have been downright stupid with their S5's because of commercials showing them being dropped in the ocean and whatnot.
My case keeps it waterproof, so I am good to go.... I think, lol!
I used mine in a rain storm the other day with no concern or issue. I've done that with all my phones, camera, tablets, etc though and never have had an issue in my life.
