hey guys i was using my touch pro 2 and when i was charging it,it just stopped working. i never dropped in a toilet but the indicator is red......what do i do to use it again and i didnt drop it in water
Try to do a soft reset. How low did the battery level get ?
The humidity sensor could have just been exposed to excessive humidity, or other environmental factor that made it turn red. If you didn't get the phone wet, the charging issue is very possibly not at all related to the moisture sensor.
Make sure you are using the wall charger, not USB; since USB will not provide a sufficient charge if the battery is discharged too low. Let the phone sit on the wall charger overnight and see if the phone will power up. If not, you might have a bad battery or other hardware issue.

yeah i did that and it didnt turn on. i think its humidity and now im mad cuz it doesnt work.what should i do
As far as I know the indicator is red when you get it. It should be red with a criss cross pattern and when it gets wet it bleeds into the squares in the criss cross pattern. Does anybody know any different. Also check the moisture indicator under the battery.

It is a white sticker with a criss-crossing red pattern on it until it becomes wet. Then it bleeds the red ink over onto the sticker as was mentioned. If it hasn't done that, then call it in for warranty repairs.

HTC provides a 15 month warranty on all devices. Try giving them a call. It takes way longer than going through the carriers, but worth a try.

I can't completely remember from the last time i opened mine but I think it should be ok..... what will be bad is if it was a screw from the top the ones near the camera if one of these are not screwed down probably then your phone signal will be less or not work.....
Hi guys ! I hope Im posting this on the right section, anyway posting this on behalf of my friend,
He dropped his Nexus ( still under warranty) into a toilet handbasin which has water in it . He turned it off and took out the battery and cover to let the phone to dry overnight. His speakers weren't working at first , but after a few days, they were fine.
The problem is :
i)Charging is inconsistent now. Phone doesn't charge even it is plugged in , sometimes it does. He have to keep on trying till it says charging AC)
ii)Phone hangs A LOT
iii)Reboot more than usual
iv) Shorter battery life
Question :
i) He wants to return it to Vodafone Australia but not sure if they know the phone had drop into water? Is there a way to know?
ii) Is there a way to fix any of the problem?
iii)(For australians in melbourne) If he can't return it to vodafone, any good service center to recommend?
Thanks guys
ii. Try soak in rice overnight. Should be done after the drop. Anyway u can always try. It works on my Nokia .Dont know if it work on smartphone.

Hey thanks ! kind of been a week already . Think it still may work?
Chances are permanent damage have been done.
Put it in silica gel next time, i think it absorb water better, but remember to bake it first before using it.

Think he can return the phone without getting caught? I heard there's a red tape some sort of water indicator inside the phone. Is that true?
Yes there is. If you take the battery out, at the top of the 'slot' that the battery rests in theres a little white piece of "tape", that normally has just X's on it. Not sure what it changes to if it gets wet, but thats how they would tell.

Thanks will check on it
I believe they have it inside the phone as well. I don't have any water indicator stickers on my battery.

Hi guys! I have a similar problem with the galaxy nexus. It dropped in water, now works pretty fine, but from time to time there is a chaging message on the screen even when it doesn't plugged to the charger. And it draining the battery much faster then before. Is there some ways to fix this problem before I took it to a service center?

Guess we are all on the same boat =/ , check your indicators for now
Unfortunately there's no any indicators inside the phone. Any thoughts?

There is one actually! http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/qqCnaRuXSHnMhDXJ.huge
Notice the square XXXX inside the phone. Its on the right frame just above the place where the battery is.
My friend checked his, the indicator still okay! sent back to vodafone!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 99% of the time that indicator is white and BECOMES red when there's water damage. As in, red Xs means water damage.
Edit: After thinking about it and using a bit of common sense, yeah no - red Xs has to mean water damage. I also checked my own phone (with no damage) and, as expected, white indicators. I have the Sprint version so maybe some small, tiny chance it's changed, but neither of mine are X'd and I bought it brand new.
Editagain: Did some research. Apparently my indicators are reverse to everyone else's, but they could still deduce that the problem is water damage - it's not too hard to determine for someone with a bit of hardware experience. I wouldn't get too excited.

All the connections are correct....and the phone comes on just the display backlight not coming on.
The funny thing is that when am in a well lighted room or i shine a light on it, i can see that the phone is on an i can access my apps.
make sure that all 4 ribbons in the lg motherboard is properly connected, check if some pins are dent or bended. if all seems to be good, the problem is the backlight of your replaced screen
Make sure there is nothing covering the proximity sensor!

where can i find the connection for the backlight?
Hello, did you find a solution.
I have the same issue, it's not the screen because when I change the motherboard, the brightness work.
Thank you.
Hi all,
I took my D855 apart to fix a blue screen issue. When I removed the motherboard, the small item in the attached pics fell into my hand. Can anyone perhaps identify where, or even if, it belongs in the D855?
Thanking you in advance

It kinda looks like it belongs in a mic hole(the g3 has 2) - either upper(top right corner of phone) or lower(bottom left next to headphone jack-pic attahed).

Thanks much for the reply, it did in fact kind of look like it came from the top right when I first removed the motherboard, will check it out on Monday!!
