[Q] Touch irresponsive

My glaxy R is not giving proper touch responce. touch responce is very good while the charger or USB cable is connected. but as soon as I remove the cable touch becomes hard i need to puch 2 to 3 times to get proper reponse. I took the mobile to the service center They told me that it has got water & need to replace the Display panel. But I have never let the divece to the water. Any help please. & after this problem battery life is also effeted it is standing only hardly a day or a day & half.

yes buddy they are correct this is because of the water, use hair drier or similar one which blows hot air then blow some hot air through charger pin so that it will drain the water in the mobile....
Note: use this for just few seconds or else it may damage the other parts...

Step One:
Dear, you can ask the SSC executive that if its so, then when I connect the charger or USB how does it working smoothly..?
The SSC guys are seriously Nuts. They just want to drag the matter from there soldiers to the customers. so, don't become fool from them. Ask them to give proper reason. Be clever & ask them to give proper response else you will report a case in Consumer Court.
Step Two:
If its correct as per MJ, then do what MJ said & Praise to GOD.

Ooopssss !!! this guy say he never dropped his phone into water but SSC say, it has been damaged...
guys, i have a question, i frequently, clean my screen with water or colin (sometimes),

U can use water to screen the display bt take vry vry less water i also do the same n dont let the water go in the charging point.
Dats my opinion bt remember no excessive water usage!!

the problem was there & the device was running fine in this condition from two to three months but today my device is completely stopped not turning on i tried everything removing the battery & replacing the battery connecting to the pc's but it is of no use it is completely dead. I think I shall have to visit once again to the service center. I am afraid here the service centers are not good (KSA) they just want to fool me once again here there are no consumer courts to log a complaint for them i just have to befell what they say. so i am here to look if the same problem have face by anyone.

I am having the same problem as tanveer4m. the touch will become responsive only when charging. In addition, the charging indicator is kept flashing eventhough i'm not connecting it to any power source. so, when the charging indicator is flashing, the phone is responding well, but when the battery reach below 20%, the charging indicator will not shown and the phone will become irresponsive. Can anyone help me with the problem?
i am currently using blueberry rom, and i tried to change to titanium kernel but the problem still persist.

problem will be solved when you use the mobile for long time. I didn’t do any repair for my mobile it is running fine now & then but he problem is still there. Sometime it run’s absolutely fine without having any problem.
what you mention is the same problem was there for my mobile flashing, irresponsive touch

one s water damage. hope for repair?

ok so today a kid my mom babysits got ahold of my HOS and dunked it in the toilet... i caught him in the act and immediately grabbed it and dried it off best i could. it was in the water maybe for 1 second. when i pulled it out it was still on. lock button worked but screen was completely unresponsive. kept trying to unlock the screen but as i said it wasn't responding to me touching it. then it just turned off by itself and wouldn't turn back on at all. the notification light turned on (randomly, not from response to me trying to turn it off or on) and it was yellow and red. not completely one or the other. put it in a bowl of rice for a good 8 or 9 hours. pulled it out and now the notification light is off and still not responding to my attempts to turn it on. plugged it in to charger and no charging light. is there any hope for repairing it? or do i need to just buy a new phone...
not sure if it matters but details never hurt anyone.

If you dont have any insurance or warranty that covers such damages, I would take it apart and clean/dry each part individually with some tissues and those things you use to clean your ears (no idea what theyre called in english lol).
The odds are the screen is busted though, and will need a replacement.
The first thing you should do is getting the battery unplugged, so the device is completely powerless and let it be powerless for a day or 2.
Obviously, unplugging the battery on the HOS means disassembling the whole device...

j tag is the solution for ur problem..

Well, Listen to me, ive had experience.
If you have the know how to break everything apart and clean the corrosion, then you might be lucky. If not, repairmen could do it for you, but with each option you lose warranty. And it is not guaranteed it will work 100%. If it does, then you just have to live with no warranty, if not, the repair centre will change your motherboard, for me that cost 190€.
So you pick.
If i would have known better on my case, i would have let repairmen try and clean it all up for a mere 30€ (if they could have repaired it) and THEN sent the device to offical repair centre when their efforts would have been in vain, cause you know, nevertheless the repairs are not under warranty for water damage.

This will never work since you probably already have corrosion on the motherboard.

Ive saved 3 laptops by doing that, so it does work. Corrosion doesnt appear THAT fast.
Although reading OPs post again I see it was quite a while ago it happened, so there might be some minor corrosion.
Running a hairdryer across the board can save some bad connections in some cases as well- obviously not heating the board to sh*t, just a quicky.

Dropped phone in water. now its stuck in bootloop.

so i went swimming with my phone for about 2 minutes yesterday before realising i had it on me. let it dry in the sun then rice bag over night. now this morning i let it charge and it booted up fine. but it started restarting. and at some point got stuck in a bootloop. i can get to the "power + volume down button" but i can not get into my recovery, any ideas?

You shouldn't even try to power it on...now pray. And go as fast as you can to the closest repair center and tell them what happened. Phone has to be opened and cleaned/dryed properly. You can't do that by yourself, or it is difficult to do it even with the tutorials on how to break it apart. All components should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and blown dry. Turn it off immediately and go with it to a service center...really
Every second while the phone is charging/powered, increase the chances to end up with a hardware brick. And the repair costs will be higher than buying a new one

ah wow a reply from a fellow romanian, salut! also theres no point in repairing this phone, the pixels are getting burned, the battery lifes getting shorter, but i would not want to have to buy a new one. that being said, the phone did work for a bit, i wanted to understand why it started not working?

Because water is doing damage in time not instantly. The water, especially from pools or even worse sea/ocean, contain minerals, salts and chemicals that remain on the circuits after water has evaporated. They have a corrosive action on contacts and electronic components and posess a high risk of short-circuit that's not immediately observed, making a device totally unusable. The biggest initial risk is to fry a component due to a short-circuit, that's why is recommended to power off and take out the battery from such devices but that's not all. Unfortunately taking out the battery from the One S is not possible as with other phones so parts of the phone/board still remain powered even if you turn it off. Now as time passes by, water and it's components are doing a slow damage unless phone it's not properly cleaned inside. That's why I told you about isopropyl alcohol. Trust me, if your phone still works is a miracle and you still don't know if parts of it are not ireversibile damaged. Any time using it further like this will increase the chances to have it permanently bricked.

aha i see what you mean. i got a bit impatient, turned it off, and drowned it in isopropyl for about 15 mins. now im waiting for it to dry out again as i can see the isopropyl inside my camera. also another thing, ever sinc ethe bootloop, if i plug it in and its turned off, it will automatically turn on after like 10 seconds or so.

Oh no. I told you to go with it at a service center not to submerge it yourself in alcohol. That's not how it should be cleaned. It should be opened and components wiped with alcohol not drowned in it. And surely not when the battery is still connected.
Reboot to bootloader (if you still can) and you have there option to power off. It won't start up again. Leave it like this till you go to a service center, DON'T try to do something yourself again

Ok. Then search on youtube or here on XDA, was posted a video how to disassemble the One S. After you take it apart, disconnect the battery and wipe it with cotton balls and alcohol. Especially the contacts and circuit. Dont rub it hard, just clean it gentle... And don't drawn it again in alcohol. Let it dry completely after that. It might be that camera has been permanently damaged if you seen liquid IN it. Also the screen is very sensible if water or any other liquid gets between it's layers. And you should be very careful with every contact...and light up a candle for it will you, maybe it'll help
Such operation at a service center should cost you less than 100 RON, you should make some calls and ask

yeah ive seen it, and will definetly try it if i dont see it working after this dry off, only think im worried abut is not having the star headed screw driver for some of the screws, but i guess you can try to use other types of screwdrivers. also i am in canada but yeah it would be about 50$ which is 100 ron. thank you for all the advice and have a good night!

man, if i tell you, youre not gonna believe me, but after drowning it in iso and letting it dry in the sun, it works just fine now and the commands that i gave it from the boot menu , which were to erase data and factory reset did not work, i thought they did, but i guess it makes sense because as soon as i pressed them the bootloop would start again. also the initial time when i tried my phone this morning it seemed like it was charging a bit too fat (the percentage), which it doesnt seem to be doing now, and im glad, cause i think that means that whatever problem its had is gone, or so i hope lol.

Backlight is not Working

3 days ago, I kept my OPO in a bag, but I didn't know that the bag was not waterproof. The water of rain got inside of the bag. I took out my OPO after 30/40 minutes. It was down under water horizontally. I tried to unlock the phone, but there was no Display and Backlight, but the Notification light was blinking. I was outside so that I couldn't disconnect the battery. After some minutes it was getting hot. After I reached home, I disassembled all parts and saw some small parts were burned. I took it to the unauthorized servicing center because there are no authorized Service Center of OnePlus in my country(BANGLADESH). The servicing man told me that the IC of Network, and IC of the backlight of Display is burned. It will take some time to service it. After one day, He called me and said that light is not turning on. Now he is searching of another corrupted motherboard of OPO where the BackLight IC is good at least. Then he will transfer it to my OPO.
I'm worried about it because, In my country, OnePlus is not well known. If the service man can't find the IC, then I can't use my OPO again which I love more than other SmartPhone.
Is there any solution? or Where I can find the IC of Backlight to buy.

Need to replace whole motherboard.
You're gonna need much more than a motherboard if water is involved.
The speakers , the camera modules, the display , flex connectors.
Just buy a new(or used) OPO.
Tips- Remove the back cover , Put it in rice for a week or two....then try charging it again. Hope for the best that it starts up.

Bootlooping issue

Accidentally dropped my phone in water for about 2 to 3 second... 1st i thought its okay. Just wiped the water and it was running well for 2 minutes..
But after that its repeatedly restarting itself...
I even tried to dry it. Also i opened the device and seperated all the components inside. Still the problem is same... Only thing i didn't seperated is the screen which is more risky... So anyone can tell me what are tge possible ways i can fix it..
I even tried flashing custom os and recovery... But still its the same... Help needed

Software measures like flashing custom ROMs/Recovery doesn't seem a way out. The nature of damage done to the hardware within is worth a check by an expert. Firstly, post dropping a cell in water, it should never be used, instead it be switched off and battery be removed (if at all it is a removable one) until you ensure there are no water traces within. If you are not good at doing all this by yourself, better take it to the nearest service center. Having said that you have already attempted to flash Custom OS/Recovery, the warranty of device is already void. So leave the *risky* aspects you mentioned to the hardware experts who shall give ya an estimate and the status too.

I know m out of warranty. And even it was in warranty company will take the same amount as of now.. bcz its water damaged which is not covered in warranty. So my situation is same from both sides. Still i want to solve this by my own.. if i did i will make sure to let all the community know. It will help others as of my situation...

Usually in such a situation the phone is kept in rice to absorb all the moisture, try that.
If it still persists take it to the service centre and get an estimate before fixing it, they are known to state a lot of random charges when they find out you dropped it in water.

Actually already solved the problem. And yes it was due to short circuit bcz of water happening into the wire connected to screen. Just swiped it through Cotton and everything was good just like before..
And rit now its rocking again cheers

Woah that's cool

Some time ago i also accidently droped rn7p in water at night 11 pm about 2-3 seconds. But i imedeatly turned it off and clean using a dry cloth then leave it under fan to dry. In monring i go to a local mobile repair shop and he just heat the mobile on a heating plate about 5 mins. Then i start it, and there is no problem it working like previous. So never remain phone on after drawing off it as soon as possible.

It wasn't tough though as i did it without any tools.. or u can say home tools.
Only took the help of youtube just to make sure i don't do something wrong
