Hi All,
Last night few drops of water dropped on my one mini and it started getting stuck and asking me to send report.
It gets stuck from time and then I have to restart it. Also the phone restarts by itself.
There was not more than few drops of water but as I use a case, the water remained in the case for an hour lets say. The lens on the back camera was also blurred a bit but today its gone. What worries me is that the plastic bezzel has cracks ( known problem for the mini I think) and I assume some water might have went inside the phone.
Is it possible that this is causing the phone to freeze and restart and such things or not? It was working flawlesly up till last night.
I've just placed it in a bag of rice hoping to remove all water inside.
Really need your advise.
Thanks

Can you please share some advice?
Is it possible that the phone gets stuck closes apps, asks me to send reports because of the humidity inside?
Sadly yes, it is possible to be producing errors due to the humidity.
It might be temporary ( stop once every single bit of humidity/water is out ) or permanent ( stay like that forever ).
Leave it dipped in rice for another 24 hours, and try again.
If it continues giving you errors, backup your data, and install a new ROM afresh ( clean install a ROM ) and see if it works ok.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
I left it again for allmost 12 h in rice but its the same I'm afraid.
I'll give it a shot with installing a new/stock rom.
Damn, it was just few drops .... unbelieveable.
No success so far.
I've left it at repair shop but the guy is not able to instal any rom.
Its just stuck at HTC logo and doesnt want to boot up now.
The strange thing is that I can go into recovery, go up and down the menu no probelm, and it never shuts down and restarts when in recovery but it doesnt want to boot up.
Guy in the shop says that it perhaps has some corrosion and this causes the problem. Due to the plastic lines cracks he doesnt want to open the phone and try to clean it. He says if he tries to open the plastic frame will break totaly.
Any solution or I should just give up??? Really desperate here
I just finished repairing a one mini with cracks on every side. It was a pita but it can be done without damaging the frame. I had to into it 3 times for various reasons, and it did not damage the frame. I think the guy at the repair shop just doesn't want to bother with it, and I'd take it (and my money) elsewhere.
I managed to open it as well without damaging the frame. It comes of fairly easily. A nice tutorial here

Now to the repaire shot for the guy to check if this one can be saved.

Guys, been hanging out here long time now. First incident with about 6 month old captivate. I dropped a glass of water on my captivate yesterday. I immediately removed and took out the battery and wiped it dry. Did not see much of seeped in water so did not do the rice method. Turned on Wi-fi this morning and it says "unable to start wifi". Same with bluetooth.
Call,sms, camera everything works fine. At work, so blew dry the phone and also have kept it next to a warm laptop exhaust. Should I dismantle the phone and try to dry the swb23 chip (wifi/bt) ?
Please help guys !
stock and unrooted captivate

You can't see the water that got inside. Would have been better to do the rice method before switching it back on but you should do it now nonetheless. Just be warned, you may have cooked the WiFi chip already.
Are the moisture indicators clear? If so, you should send it for warranty replacement. If not, then you can resort to opening it up, wiping the traces, etc.

Yeah, pretty much ^^
uggg...may be too late. If you get a significant amount of liquid on or in your phone the worst thing you can do is turn it on.
You should have:
1. immediately removed battery and placed on a paper towel.
2. immediately place phone in a bag of rice for a minimum 24 hours if not 48 before ever powering back on.
Still its worth a try....remove battery and leave in rice for 24 hours....try again....maybe it didn't fry anything when you powered it on...but you definitely need to finish getting the moisture out of the inside via the rice absorption.
I had my old tilt in a pocket submerged in a swimming pool for a good 15 minutes before realizing my blunder. When i realizing it i didn't try to turn it back on. Left it in rice for 48 hours and everything work fine (luckily the phone was powered of when i got in the pool so that probably helped avoid anything frying).
Haha, I once accidently dropped my old Samsung Epix in a bucket of water and it still booted up and worked but most of the features are dead but screen and all still works. It looked like it was wrecked. I got it replaced under my insurance which is a good thing.

but being aware that you shouldn't turn on an electronic device when it is wet hardly requires hindsight though does it? =)
Thanks guys, I have put my phone in a bowl of rice hoping it will get cured.
If not, will ATT not service my phone under warranty ? I read somewhere that replacing the wifi/bt chip costs $70 with ATT. Has anyone done this here ?
Thanks all for your quick replies ! Much appreciated. I will keep everyone updated on how this issue pans out so it will help someone in the future

i know i thought it as funny haven't seen that episode in a long time...almost as good as towlie
i am just always surprised to see the posts where someone gets there phone wet (washed in laundry, dropped in toilet, spilled significant amount of liquid on it) and the first thing they did was tried to turn it back on almost immediately.
btw if your looking at the moisture indicators for warranty purposes its quite possible you have to completely open the shell. Usually they have one visible without taking the phone apart but its not uncommon to have a secondary marker inside the phone where it would be harder for someone to tamper with. Can anyone confirm where all the cappys markers are?
Been a while since I had mine apart but I don't recall seeing one inside.

wasn't sure....my Tilt2 had one in the battery compartment and one on the motherboard that could only be seen by opening the casing
So... my n5 was submerged into washing maching for at least 10-15 mins. and I'm using the traditional method, ( dip into rice bucket ) and leave it overnight, for the rice to absorb all the moisture and stuff. :crying:
I've remove the sim tray and cover n5 with rice.
I hope when I wake up later, it'll be able to work.
Is there any method I can restore the phone's files even if it is dead?
For example, using adb to control the phone?
Or better yet, if phone is able to boot, but screen is damaged, can it emulate the *image* to some software and we control from there or something?
Please give me all the possible solutions for getting the phone dry up or restore the files..
Update 1: sorry for not reading the main thread in General, was too furious.
When I wake up, tried to turn on, but fail. Then I went to remove the cover, there's water inside, then remove the screw and battery, there's water inside. After drying up everything, I put to rice again. Now I'm in office, hope my phone will wake up from deep sleep dead sleep later.
But still, any idea to recover the files inside the phone? I hope I don't damage the internal when I tried to turn on just now, how to check if battery or the motherboard is damaged?
Help please :crying:
up, updates.
Shouldn't really bump if it's been less than 24 hours. But, I'd leave it in the rice for two days. Overnight isn't long enough. Good luck!
If it starts up and you are unlocked and have a custom recovery you might be able to save files.

yes, its unlocked and have custom rec and custom ROM installed. I'm just hoping it could boot up or at least show some sign that its still half alive. I really need those files asap. I refuse to use my whatsapp in another phone. And it is my main source of connecting people other than calling.
I would use silica gel over rice

Sorry, but your device is now likely not to boot at all regardless what you try now.
Always , Always , Always open up the phone after a water immersion. Open , disassemble completely , rinse with IPA , then distilled water , then dry with a blow drier . Saved an iphone 3g , a samsung s2 , htc desire and desire x like this. My desire x ( after a 15 min dunk in the river ) still works - and it's been 2 years since then.
Rice doesn't work - at all in my experience. And just leaving the battery in for 24h means you have every chance to kill you phone.
Edit : data recovery will be IMO almost impossible without paying at the very least a few thousand dollars. If the EMMC is fried ad another order of magnitude to the bill.

Don't have and don't know where to get IPA at my country here, will search around later.
how in the world would it takes a few thousand dollars. thats insane!! damn.
Hopefully it'll show me some signal of the phone later when I got back from work. :fingers-crossed: But I have a bad feeling. Lol.
Anyway, thanks for your answer! Will note it down
Most of the time there's no chance of reading the NAND using the phone itself.
That means you need to desolder it ( extremely hard for Nexus 5 since it's epoxied as well , you need to mill the pcb from the back side until you reach the solder blobs ) , prototype a break-out board for it , interface it and read it. No one will give you any warranties for the success of the process.
A brand new NAND without glue , full datasheets and known protocol ? 300$ an hour with a 6 hour minimum.
Water damage + glue ? I never got a quote for that , but it's probably going to be 3000$ an hour - and it will take at least 2 hours just to mill the pcb off. Add another hour to clean it , 3+ hours to proto the board and either make it in-house or have it made at some pcb fab (though they won''t bill you for the waiting time if you are lucky ) , another hour to put the chip in , and countless hours to reverse engineer the protocol and get the data out - probably somewhat corrupted as well.
TLDR : unless you need 64bit variables for your income statement NOT worth it.
If the data stored on the phone is so damn important, why didn't you have a backup of it? Why was the only copy of this data on an easily lost, easily broken, unreliable storage medium in your pocket?
The problem with washing machines is you're not just dealing with water, you have some fairly serious soap too, and this is really what your concern is. Soap is alkaline and corrodes the traces inside the phone. You really need to immediately strip the phone down; rinse the phone thoroughly with distilled water and then dry well for a few days.
You should have just put it in the dryer after its wash

15 minutes , powered on at first in very conductive water ( soap+dirt+hot water) . It's too late for a rinse since I doubt there will be anything working in that phone anymore. Not to mention the mechanical action . If the battery wasn't in it might have survived , albeit with a lot of possible damage.
Ladies and gentleman. My phone survived.
Just plugged back everything, and it boots up. Thank god man. Now I jsut need to back up everything and extract the data out of it. Yay.
My screen has a new 3d effect tho. Water is inside, LOL. It has some nice blue color. Happy me. Woots.

Considering it was in the washing machine, you didn't remove the battery, attempted to turn it on, then water came out when you finally opened it up..
You're lucky it has any sign of life at all.

Hello,
So maybe you already laughed a little bit by reading the title of the thread.
I had a foam party yesterday and I was stupid enough to have my oneplus one in my pocket. After about 15 minutes I finally realized that it would be a good idea to put my phone away. When I came back home in the night everything was fine but when I woke up today the touchscreen wasn't responding (only physical buttons worked). So I tried to hard reboot the phone and then everything was working again.
But after some minutes of use, I noticed that a part of the screen was reacting strangely. I went in the setting to activate the "cursor route" and I saw that there is kind of a band in the middle of the screen (about 1 cm) where the tactile is not working.
I removed the back cover and noticed that is was a little bit wet inside .. so I put my phone into some rice.
I tried to see how the screen is responding in my recovery (twrp) and the problem is also there, so I'm pretty sure it's an hardware problem.
Do you have any tips or things I can try to do ? I just want to avoid the Oneplus RMA because I don't want to be without phone for 2 months ..
Thanks in advance !
PS : I'm running CM 11S (latest OTA) and I'm rooted.
Stop using the device at all, you're potentially doing more damage every time you use it while it's wet/damp. Leave it in rice for three days without touching it. After three days is up take it out and inspect the touchscreen again.
okey, so I leave it off in the rice. 3 days without phone will be hard
If I have to replace the tactile screen (without LCD), do you know if I have to use thermal tools ?

It'll be much longer without your phone if you don't though. And what @Cholerabob is right, what you've done to your phone isn't covered by warranty, warranty doesn't include damage caused by the owner.

If you read my post better, you will understand that I said I don't want to pass it on RMA. Of course I know that I will have to pay about 150e because it's my responsibility and it's not covered by any warranty. That's why I want to change the component myself.
And yes, it's an hardware problem because of a user mistake.
Try to make constructive answers next time at least.
Hi guys,
Hoping someone has an idea of what I can do or if I am out of luck.
Just got back from my honeymoon and my wife dropped her phone into the pool.
After she took it out it bootlooped until it died. I could not turn it off or any button combination to stop it.
After it died nothing would happen if I tried to turn it on or charge it. I tried the whole rice thing for coupe days and I am now in a situation where the phone only reacts when it is plugged into laptop or charger. However it only bootloops through the very first screen repeatedly. I tried getting into recovery but all that happened was recovery booting... in blue and now that bootloops. It seems I cannot get any further.
I have insurance and already received her new phone. Biggest issue is honeymoon photos that are on there that are not backed up. Are there any options that involve or don't involve payment (not important as photos are priceless) that I can do?
Please, any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi mate
If is not possible to get into recovery or download I think is going to be difficult to access the internal memory...
did you try to dry it out with something stronger like....
https://www.walmart.com/ip/DampRid-Hanging-Moisture-Absorber-3ct/15033113
maybe is still wet inside
I agree, a couple of days in rice for what is (almost in your case) a sealed waterproof phone likely is not enough time to dry it out
Problem being, you can not disconnect the battery, so damage can occur with the shorting of circuits if power is still getting to them
Considering you now know it is not waterproof anyway, I would remove the back, remove the battery, and leave it to dry out for another few days, somewhere warm
Remove S7 battery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1naej9BnfM
Washing it with Isopropyl Alcohol is another method to remove water residue (This is what causes the problem mainly, the leftover residue stuck to the circuits inside the phone shorting them out)
If the people begins to thinking in deny buying unremovable bateries devices...

So, it's me again.. As the title says, water somehow got in the phone. I can see some humidity on both cameras. I noticed this problem when I tried to make a call and the device couldn't detect the sim card. So, I opened the back only to find water in the SIM slot. The SIM is working fine now as i managed to dry it out but now I have two more problems.. A) For whatever reason the devices overheats by itself way too aggressively and B) the touch screen is really messed up..
Safe mode seems to ease the touchscreen issue a bit but the phone is still useless..
And yes, i have used rice to dry it..
It's fully stock btw except the unlocked bootloader..
If anyone knows what to do I will be really REALLY glad as I dont have a backup device right now..
Thanks in advance.

Is the water visible under the LCD? If not then you might be able to save it. If water got into the LCD backlight, like my previous phone, the damage would be irreversible.
Your best bet would be to take it to a technician and disassemble the phone. Maybe try to get warranty claim if still applicable. Overheating means the motherboard is shorted and the battery needs to be disconnected as soon as possible. Also, disassembly is recommended to clean up any water residue to prevent further corrosion.
Now, may I ask, how did the water got in there? Did the gasket fail or you've made some mistake like not putting on the back cover securely?
The problem was the plastic covering the sim and sd slots. As soon as pulled out the cover that plastic fell down on the floor like it was never glued whereas the other plastic for the second sim was just fine. I will get a technician to fix it in the next few days but until then its staying in rice 24/7. BTW the touch screen does have some problems and it keeps on pressing stuff by it self, although i can fix it for a few seconds by placing my hand all over the screen when active and then closing the screen. When I open it back up the problems are gone for about 10 seconds. Also the is a wierd mark on the bottom of the screen that seems like water but it doesnt affect visibility that much.
Quick update: So, water seems to be in there after all those days as the screen gets worse every day that passes. The wierd thing is that I downgraded to lollipop because I thought that the 5.0 display drivers might be better for such a screen and.. Well the screen doesnt respond at all to touches.. Tech support will see the phone today or tomorrow but I dont think its worth to repair. :/
Best way to "dry" the pone is to turn it off, remove the battery if possible, and leave the phone in a bowl with RICE (yes rice) in it, fully covering.
Rice will suck up all the humidity close.
