Hello Guys
A while ago i received my N5 and i really enjoyed it! 2 days, i drop the thing in the toilet. :crying:
Okay so my insurance wont cover it and the phone has dryed in Rice and i followed all the advices that were online.
Tho i couldnt remove the batteri and i know this is a crucial point since the current+water will destroy the circuits.
Now my phone either wont start, or sometimes it will try to boot showing the google logo and then crashing (it cant enter the OS).
Is it worth trying to repair the thing? I dont think it will be a problem for me to change a circuit board og replace another part, but since i dont have any experience with phones i dont know what part i should start with.
The phone costs 580 dollars here in Denmark where i live.
Is it worth it ?
Regards Jesper
You can open it up, get some rubbing alcohol and submerge the board into the rubbing alcohol. Use a soft tooth brush and scrub the board. Usually the board gets corrosion/dirt from the water. Once thoroughly clean put a blow dryer to it (use medium to no heat. DO NOT PUT THE BATTERY IN THE ALCOHOL. ONLY THE BOARD!
I've tried this before and it worked like a charm when my Galaxy Nexus had water damage.

As soon as you dropped it in water you should have turned it off and left it off for days and possibly even took a hairdryer to it or let it sit in front of the heat vent.
Number one mistake is trying to turn it on. If anybody else drops the nexus in water. Because it has no removable battery cover. Rice won't do the trick. It would take way too long and the water would have already rusted the metal components and trashed all the pop connectors. If you drop the phone is water. Quickly take the entire phone apart. Than put all the pieces in rice. That will allow the rice to actually absorb the left over water. YouTube "nexus 5 tear down". Its always a good thing to know how to do this.

I just finished assembling the Nexus again and im a very happy man!
After disasembling the phone i found that the top board was very teared by the water and it was clear how some of the sockets had poor or no connection.
I used pure alchol (Dunno what its called in english) and a small toothbrush to clean the board. I dryed the board with a hair dryer on cold setting to avoid over heating the CPU parts. Now the phone works! and it doesnt look like it has any pearment faults or flaws. Even the display is normal and all my previous settings and the OS was intact. Thanks for the help everybody! and yes the best thing to do is remove the powersource and dry the boards individually if exposed to water
Best regards Jesper

Hey guys. I followed the instructions and have gotten my phone to power. Problem is when it goes from the power up screen that say "Google" to the colored balls, the balls freeze and it goes back to "Google" and freezing there. Any ideas on what I can do to get it to boot?
I just need it to boot long enough to retrieve my pictures and this hot chick's number I got right before the phone was dropped in the pool. Thanks.
edit: When I hold Volume Down/Power, I can get it to the bootloader. Anything I can do from here to salvage my stuff? I'm not familiar with bootloader options. Plugged into my computer, I can hear my PC make the noise as though it's connected which typically then leads to the phone's drive being accessible on the computer however it then immediately makes the noise of the phone being disconnected.
I believe I am having the same problem as you. I briefly dropped it into a creek for no more than a few seconds. That was enough to make the display unresponsive to touch. I was able to power down and quickly did so.
Unfortunately I wasn't near any rice immediately (motorcycle) so I put the phone in my mesh jacket in 100F weather and hoped for the best. I left it off at this point. When I got home I turned it back on (stupid I know) and the N5 didn't boot, only stopped at "Google" boot. I powered down the phone and rebooted, this time it worked. A quick checkup showed the external speaker didn't work for Play music, but did work for T-mobile visual voicemail. Also, the earpiece didn't work when I attempted to make calls.
At this point I realize I probably screwed up the phone big time. Once I realized not all components were working I put the phone in a ziplock bag with brown rice new from the store. I guess I'll let it sit for 48 hours and then attempt again. If it doesn't work, I'll attempt taking the phone apart and cleaning each part. And I'm really only going to attempt that because this phone isn't even paid off!!
These phones need to be made tougher! I am losing hope that there's any chance of my phone surviving at this point.

Nexus 5 Water damaged
Hi guyz,
I need some help, lately my nexus 5 was been water damaged. I immediately follow OuncE718 suggestion but I still experiencing problem. When I press on the phone I can feel the vibration but Google-boot logo will not display and it will only display a white-dim light in the bottom part of the screen. I tried to connect it in a Windows computer it will be recognised as a Nexus 5 phone. Does it mean I had to replace my LCD.?
John

Who knows what damage did the water do? If the corrosion sets in, your device will be hosed for sure.
It's really a fools errand to fix water damaged phones as no one can be sure the extent of the damage.
If you take it to a service centre, they'll most probably replace the lcd + mobo which will cost a bomb.

If you buy a new LCD, how will you know the Motherboard still works? Then what if you have to buy new motherboard?
Cut your losses. Replace the whole phone. Then get insurance
This ^
Spending money on a water damaged device is usually money wasted. Cause there's usually more things wrecked you find out along the way.
Save the money to go towards a new device.
I had the same problem, I used all the methods that I've read with no solution, my last hope is that the battery got damaged, is there a chance that maybe the battery is the problem? I can get a replacement for 20 dollars, but what do you think? thanks

Hi guys
First of all: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH...
As you can see in the title, my Nexus 5 (16 GB) is showing a snowy screen all the time. When i turn it on, the display lights up and the phone probably boots. After the while the display is dimming and then turns off (probably lockscreen...). I managed to slide my finger from a corner to the middle, so that i can say the touchscreen is working.
First I thought the screen was defect, so I ordered a new LCD screen. After replacing the old by the new screen I had to see, thats its not the LCD/touch/display what is defect.
So does anybody had the same problem or can tell me what this might be. I'm not even sure if it's the hardware or maybe the software of the phone. But due to the "process I described in the beginning" when I turn it on, I suggest it's the hardware.
If have no idea what happened to the phone and why it isn't working. (I bought it on the internet as a defect device)
I would be very thankful for any answers.
IMAGE: the "NEXUS 5" on the image is a screen protector!!!
When you bought it did they say what kind of damage it had? Like was it water damage? If its water damage then I'd take it apart and clean the board. The board can be corroded due to water dame and/or possibly the ribbon connectors that attach to the screen.

no,... I asked, but got no answer. When connecting the new screen I could see the inside, for me (I have no experiences with that) I looked quite good
I also checked all the connections.

I'd probably take it back apart and clean it with a soft toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol. REMOVE the battery before you clean it or you will be sorry. Then thoroughly dry it with a blow dryer (make sure it isn't set on hot. Warm or cool is fine).
To me it sounds more like a hardware defect rather than a software defect.

Also did you try getting it into BOOTLOADER Mode? The only software defect I can think of is the person flashing a custom ROM/Kernel and they messed with the voltage setting. A low voltage setting can cause the screen to be snowy/fuzzy looking.

hmmm... I took it apart, and blow it up. Maybe I'll be doing the alcohol things in a while.
I already tried getting into bootloader (pressing power + Vol down). But now I tried again:
When I keep pressing the two buttons, the screen is slowly blinking: "snow" --> black --> "snow"... three times, then it comes a short "snow" and then its black and stops.
I don't know what normally happend when you hold the buttons at the Nexus 5. Will there appear something three times and then turn off again when you keep holding???
btw: already thank you for your advices (but if it's the hardware, I'm afraid some chip/processor/...??? will be defect)
Solved!!!
Whuhhuuuuu!!! Solved. I bought a new "usb / charging flex cable - thing" (sorry I dont know whats the name) for just 20€ and the problem was solved.
Thank anyway for all your answers and adviced.
weird issue in that for the past two days the phone will not power on. I can hit the power button which "does not appear to be stuck" and it will briefly turn on getting to 1st splash screen before going black and not coming back on. Can't get into anything. While ago messing with it I had it fully boot but when the screen timed out I hit the power button any it wasn't on anymore. I even got it to turn on for the drive home for about an hr and was able to listen to pandora. I have unlimited data so I didn't want to get a new phone. So I looked online and saw someone had a brand new s4 for 320.00 bucks.. which I think I can keep my data if I buy a phone elsewhere correct? I also looked at replacing the motherboard for my s3 which was 90 bucks. Need some assistance either making my s3 work or ideas of what phone to get under 300.00
also.. When I plug it in while it is off it doesn't appear to be charging.. Maybe it is the battery? Maybe it is the charging port?
I think you should try another battery first. However, I do have some questions. Is you charging port loose on your phone? Is your phone still under warranty through your carrier? I recently had issues with my S3 draining really bad. I'd plug it into the charger and it would definitely act like it was charging up but in all reality the battery was draining like a sieve. I called Verizon Wireless and ended up getting a new phone as a warranty replacement. It's working fine now. *knock on wood*

the light doesn't come on when charging like before. the port is not loose. I took the phone apart to see if there was something damaged or loose inside and everything seemed fine. I doubt the phone is under warranty. I just purchased a new battery for 16 bucks.. hope it works. I will update this thread on thursday once I get the battery in.
Sounds similar to what I ran into with my charging port going bad, currently it will only work with the stock charging cable but I have purchased a wireless charging battery cover and use that for 90% of my charging.

If you are gonna get an S4, make absolutely SURE it is an MDK build!! Anything after that has a locked bootloader! Ah hem...mine is MDK and comes with a mophie case...and glass screen protector... just saying.
the battery didn't fix the problem. I guess I will have to replace the motherboard. I bought the s4 today for 275. but as caleb stated it is locked.. oh well.. I think I can still root it. I am hoping I can replace the board no problems and atleast sell this thing for 175. Anyone have much luck with these boards? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...05&prg=10335&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=271467013367&rt=nc
I am googling this problem for a friend with a stock verizon S3 - there are TONS of people who can't charge once they're on KitKat. Is that the case with you? It seems to be a software, not hardware, issue.
From the sounds of things, don't expect a new board to fix it.
Nope. I never updated.
Also, the charging part is not the only problem. I had a full battery but couldn't get the phone to stay on. Eventually I couldn't even turn it on at all. Just died.
Hello,
Heres my story :
Ive crashed my 4 month old mate 7 in the toilet for 1 second, after that i put it in a box with rice. Because the mate 7 cant power off without the screen functioning.
After that ive send my phone to a repair company from my insurance, so they could fix the water damage and put a new screen on it .
5 weeks later ive got my phone back with my old screen back, because they said it wasn't fixable because some chip or component was damaged and the insurance didn't covered it.
I went to a repair company near by and the researched my phone and said that with a new screen assembly it would work. After they put on a screen we started up the phone and the screen did work, but it started up and after the huawei logo it jumps to a rare screen : only a clock and the underhalf of the screen is black, and the next screen if you swipe is a sort of music player app.
But it doesnt start up to the home screen, ive tryed everything, and the usb port has never been forwarded so the pc sees the phone but doest connect.
Hisuite doesnt see the phone.
Can some 1 please help me with this ?
P.S : i have my non working screen back on so i didn't had to pay because the phone doesn't work
I'd say what you see is the flipcover screen. Does it look like this - http://www.casesinthebox.com/images...awei-ascend-mate7-blue_p20141030030311774.jpg ? If it does, then the water probably damaged something so your phone now thinks that you have the cover on.. Don't think there is anything you could do about it really.
ahh **** me, yes thats the screen..
Does anyone know which electronic part does that ?
My phone is 2 or 3 times cleaned with some kind of "anti water damage spray", but perhaps i can switch out an card or component so its gone ?
My mt7 LT10 same problem but no water no any any thing touch it..
Suddenly I have this screen
Any fix to this problem ????
I just typed a long ass answer but my internet died while replying, so I'll make a short list of what I thought would work:
1.)Unlock the phone somehow and disable smartcover in settings
2.)Flash a custom recovery and then unflash the app which is responsible for smartcover(would require you too flash recovery and write a script for the unflash part, I can't help you with that..)
3.)Flash a custom recovery and let someone make you a nandroid backup where the smartcover setting is already disabled
4.)Flash a custom non EMUI rom where there is no smartcover option, unfortunately there aren't any good roms..
These are just assumptions, but I think some could actually work. Good luck with your device!
Oh Dear!
All you had to do was just to remove the battery, leave it for 10 minutes and put it back again and your phone was good to go.

Follow the steps:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Remove back cover very carefully
2. Remove battery strips. (Do not take out the battery)
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Re-insert the strips
5. Reboot your phone
Bingo!
Note: if in case you're not sure how to remove back cover. Here is the link to YouTube: (Follow the instructions till 0.55 seconds)

Hello guys, so my friend has a new OP6, he was charging his phone util it get stucks at 82%, he rebooted the phone and then it was 50%. He turned it off and plugged it and the screen showed battery temperature is too low to charge.
We tried my charger on his phone same thing, tried to check with and app the battery temperature and it was detected as -40°C so i guess it's the sensor
We cleared the cache and even factory reset but nothing, always stuck at 50% and as you can guess it will soon die.
Any other option is welcome, here are some pics for you to check. We saw on other forums that this problem occured on other Oneplus phones like 3 and 3t but no solution yet
I've seen this happen to people who dropped their Oneplus 3. The battery temperature sensor gets damaged.
He didn't drop it or any damage occured, it just came from nowhere, so unfortunate. I guess he will have to contact amazon for the warranty or does he contact Oneplus without passing by amazon??
Up!!
If the OP6 has been buyed via Amazon, then use the warranty of Amazon.
did you ever solved this issue?
I have the same issue but my phone didn't fall and I've tried everything, resetting wiping, rooting.
I opened it up and even tried a different battery and I also tried different chargers and leaving it off for 24 hrs.
All with no luck can anyone please help ?
Why did you even open it, you shouldn't have tried that, because it's a defected sensor. my friend got his phone replaced by the warranty without questions asked, but in your case i don't know if they will replace it or no

Sorry but you don t know what you're talking about
my phone had water damage so unfortunately it was out of warranty already.
I let it dry for a day but the screen didn't even come on, after i opened it and cleaned all the connectors it worked and the charging even worked but jut for 1 day.. after that i always got this error, everything else works fine.
i'm thinking maybe i can just buy one of those external powerbank cases or so..

If you have the error like the pics i chared, it wont work, if you install Ampere app, you will see that it shows a very low temperature like -30 or so, so the sensor is definetly out of service, I don't know if the sensor is on the battery(you said you put another one and i didn't work out) so i dont thinks it's there, try changing the doughter board, or in the worst case it's on the motherboard.
yes i saw a picture of the oneplus 3 somewhere with the temp sensor on the motherboard but the oneplus 6 has almost all of its ic's under heat shielding that you cant remove afaik, (they did remove it on the ifixit totorial though.
Furthermore i found a way to mock the battery tempeture sensor with adb but strangely enough you still cant charge it when you set the temp to 20 or so degrees c.
This is the page if you wnt to try it out https://www.intellectsoft.net/blog/android-shell-part-1-mocking-battery-status/

Let him say what he wants lol, i know what i am talking about, the phone was in my hand, i tried everything possible from my side, i was the one who opened the thread lol, i read about the problem, i saw videos of ppl fixing it and changing the sensor, but apparently he didn't so...
But i didn't try the method with adb back then because the phone was on warranty and we thought they should replace it would be better for us than to "magically" mock the sensor and the battery temp
i think i finally solved my problem after a week )

Hello guys, so my friend has a new OP6, he was charging his phone util it get stucks at 82%, he rebooted the phone and then it was 50%. He turned it off and plugged it and the screen showed battery temperature is too low to charge.
We tried my charger on his phone same thing, tried to check with and app the battery temperature and it was detected as -40°C so i guess it's the sensor
We cleared the cache and even factory reset but nothing, always stuck at 50% and as you can guess it will soon die.
Any other option is welcome, here are some pics for you to check. We saw on other forums that this problem occured on other Oneplus phones like 3 and 3t but no solution yet

dgunn i hope that was a joke,..
NEVER use the microwave, you can put it in the Oven at 50c but the microwave will permanently fry the device and create flashes and fires...

Why did you even bother responding hahahaha, or you could even say you were serious and you already tested it lool
So I just bought the one plus 6 and I read this post and kinda creeped me out incase this happens to my device do I have warranty from one plus if this device was purchased from a not so popular site
which site did you buy from, and this is a very rare case that happened, and when you buy from a site, that is no the official OP website or when OP is not the official seller in it, your warranty is between you and the website not between you and OP, i hope it's clear.
For ex: you buy from amazon, if you have any problem, you contact amazon not OP, if you buy from gearbest , you must contact gearbest in case something bad happened, and don't worry it's a very rare case and it's covered by the warranty
Solved, loose connector
I recently (about a month ago) bought a new battery from China for my Oneplus 3.
I was really happy with the improved battery life. Oneplus 3 is still a really good phone!
Just 3 days ago I saw the "temperature too low" warning, but luckily it went away.
Today I wasn't able to charge it and it showed 50% charge until it just died without a warning.
I opened it up and saw the connector was loose - the cable from the battery to the phone. It must have come loose from a drop of the phone (it does fall every now and then).
Now it's charging and I do not need to upgrade yet. 2,5 years and counting with my OP3.
