My nexus 5 sat in some ice water for about 1-2 minutes straight. After drying the device with a cloth, I unlocked it and opened up the camera app to take a picture. then locked it again. After a few minutes I needed to unlock it again. After unlocking the screen flashed green and red lines then died. I am not able to boot it up or charge it. Is my phone dead?

The biggest mistake besides the water exposure was to turn it on right away. On these cases it's recommended to make sure it's well dried.. It was working but you probably produced a short inside and wont turn back on.
Put it in a bowl of Rice for one day or buy a Thirsty Bag to absorb the most moisture possible. Only luck and time can save it but no one can control them.

This was the first time I've dropped a phone in water, so I thought everything would be OK if I just dried it up. Hopefully some miracle will make it work. If it doesn't ... Guess I'm getting a red one.
Why do many people feel the need to mess with their phone while taking a dump? I mean are they that addicted that they can't put it down to perform regular bodily functions?

Mine phone got wet due to a loose water bottle in my backpack. But I do know what you're talking an about. I used to take dumps with my xperia ray until it nearly fell in the toilet. I think I'll try repairing my phone first before I get a new one since I've already opened the back anyway. If anyone knows any tips feel free to post. Help would be much appreciated.

turn it off, do it in a box filled with rice for 1-2 days and see if it worked
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.
Hi. My beloved Xperia z5 got exposed to saltwater for 10-15seconds at most. It immediately startet to show signs of damage. Showed headset Jack being plugged in every second, and notifications on and off all the time.
Turned it off, and gave it a fresh water bath. It then worked as normal.
But in the evening when battery had dropped to 3%, I plugged in the charger and it started to show on and off charging all the time. Turned it off and tried again. When plugging the charger it starts, shows startup screen, then shows battery charging with green marks, and switches over to showing red marks and 3%power and goes off. Also the led turns first red, then blue, so yellow and goes off.
Anyone know a solution?
I'd give it a bit of time to dry out tbh... Silica packing gel and a air sealed box will help
u should know that u shouldnt put ur phone in salt water.its not same like fresh one...salt can ruin the components and all metal pieces!!!if u really want to dry out ur phone then i recomend u to put the phone on direct sunlight for an hour or two and it will dry out...i had xperia Z and Z2 and Z5 but the Z5 never went to water due to bad resistance of Z2 i was 30 mins in the fresh water and my screen start to flicker so i emediatly went out and dry it off and then screen worked again like it should(i had luck i gues), so thats why i never tryed Z5 in the water.i was a fool to believe that u can make pictures underwater,yes u can but for what price...water ressistant phones are not ment to dive and swim ...it can survive sudden splash or drop in to the water but thats all.
try pouring rubbing alcohol inside(last resort) and shake your phone violently, then wait for it to dry under the sun. NOTE TAKE THIS AS YOUR LAST RESORT ONLY WHEN SONY REFUSES TO TAKE YOUR PHONE FOR REPAIR

You cannot put Z5 in water... It's clearly stated on Quick Starter Guidw inside the box..

Of course, It's your phone. You can do whatever you want with it. But as they are the manufacturer they recommend to not put it complete underwater regardless of the IP Certification it has, you should do what manufacturer recommends

Usually I won't, however the fact that you say you can't is confusing people. Just correcting you
Been a while, and this post got my attention again.. An UPDATE:
I got it working again after i opened it, and gave it a good drying
I have a bug with camera opening randomly. I "fixed" this by just disabling camera app. The phone get "phantom" touchinput, and the opens camera.
Battery is charging fine, and have not had any other bugs related to the water damage.
Im now currently using Samsung S7 Egde, so i do not need this as a daily device.
Have been thinking of selling it, but dont belive i will get so much for it as it has been damaged by water.

You don't call it waterproof and claim it has certified waterproofing capabilities and not recommend putting it in the water.
If it is waterproof, it is waterproof.

If it was turned on it probably got fried.
Electronics don't like water

You can always try placing the phone in some uncooked rice, and cover the phone with the rice too. Leave it in a warm place for a few days. Not a hot place, just some place warm like a drying cupboard etc.
The moisture gets sucked into the rice and your phone should dry out and will power on, assuming it's not already fried. Worth a try.
I agree.....
