Hello All.
I was on a hiking trip which ended horribly with me trudging through a river trying to keep my phone dry.
I Unfortunately wasn't able to keep my phone above water at all times, and ended up dipping it quite a few times.
I turned my phone off previously which did help.
I went home, opened the back up, wiped the water off from inside and stuck it in rice for a few hours.
Alas, the phone was able to charge.
Screen is perfectly fine.
A couple of random reboots, and the phone was working 90%
Wifi, GPS, Memory, etc was all functioning except for the radio.
I've tried different SIMs, but cant achieve any signal from any service provider.
Scanning for them aquires an error instantly, APNs are all set.
Here is a screenshot of what my phone's telling me
I'd hate to ditch this phone due to it's radio not working,
How would I go about fixing this?
I've flashed modems, OS / OTAs, and radios. Nothing helps.
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* doesn't do anything when pressing "Turn radio on"
Any help is appreciated, thank you for reading !
I have same problem but without water. There is a solution?

We're talking about physical damage so there's really nothing you can do apart from having it repaired. You really should have kept it in rice for a minimum of two days.

Hi - I just got my Sensation a few days ago and I love it. But I have now found an annoying bug (?). When I take a picture and it involves the flash going off, 8 times out of ten the phone will just go dead immediately - screen off, no response. Sometimes a battery pull required to get it to reboot. Anyone experienced this?
Seems to happen indoors when the subject is fairly close, darker conditions.
Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem - I really don't want to return it
Try turning off geotagging.
Thanks, I tried that, then turning off gps, then turning off location, same problem every time.
I find that turning off mobile data, and even leaving all of the above on, stops the problem. Or, leaving data on but turning off the flash. Data + flash = crash...!
Still not sure if this is software related? I guess so?

Hmm. Since it's correlated with the flash, and few if any others have complained about this I'd guess HW, but who knows. I'd probably do a factory reset, and if that didn't fix it get a replacement.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Same thing happens to my phone.
This was posted when the phone first came out. Probably in the early threads. That was one of the first things I checked when I got my Sensation. I don't know if there was a solution other than swapping - but do a search in the forum because it was covered. Hope there was a solution for you.
Same thing happens here, Revo HD.

At first I just waited and it would restart THEN...
Had to pull battery and it would restart THEN...
When it restarted only a speckled screen followed by home screen THEN...
Only speckled screen THEN...
Nothing but the vibration when trying to restart THEN...
A replacement is being shipped after a trip to the T-Mobile store.
Initially I called T-Mobile and they told me the UPDATE would solve my problem but as the day progressed it was all down hill.
During the course of the sales person ordering me a new phone they automatically added a protection plan without my knowledge.
YIPPEE HUH?
Hey guys,
so, few days ago i accidentally dropped my pohne; well not really dropping it but i didn't see something on the ground and fell over it... Phone was in my pocket the whole time... i didn't check it afterwards cause in the middle of the night you can't really see anything, and i thought in my pocket it shouldn't get damaged. So yeah... the morning after i recognized it doesn't connect to my provider anymore, tried out several other sim cards, no success. Most of the time it now just shows the empty signal icon, sometimes it connects to my provider but when it does signal is very weak and only e network h/h+ doesn't work completely, but it disappears after few seconds.
What i tried so far:
- reflashing ROM with fullwipe (/system wipe aswell); thought it was a rom derp first
- opened the phone and disassembled it, checked mainboard, usb board and antenna for cracks etc. couldn't find anything... looks like new, the only "crack" is my volume keys seem to have taken a bit damage and are now split in half... everything else is fine, screen no scratches etc
So yeah now i'm quite clueless what could've been damaged... since everyting else works completely fine only mobile network/internet doesn't work... could my antenna be damaged?
I thought about buying a replace antenna and testing if that works.... any other ideas?
Thanks in advance
I had a few friends over the other night and we were drinking. I went to the bathroom and while i was gone, they decided to put my phone in the microwave (no joke). It was literally in there for a MAXIMUM of 2 seconds before i pulled it out. Thankfully, the phone seemed completely fine to me and worked normally. Then after about 30 minutes i realized i had no service....not only that, but it couldnt locate any wifi networks. I started running around to see if my service comes back but nope,nothing. I turned off data and wifi multiple times, rebooted and turned off just as much, but nothing seemed to work. I went outside and my service came back but the signal was EXTREMELY weak. So i figured it wasnt broken all the way. Then i tried turning on hotspot on my tablet to see if i can get wifi from that. The network came up and i connected, but again, it was VERY weak. Even though they were next to eachother. I took off the back and found two major burn spots. Can this be fixed???
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. God only knows what happened to your device. Microwaves and phones don't play well together. It's probably time for a new phone.

I have a AT&T LG G3 cell phone that is 16 months old. Never dropped and taken care of no scratches at all. On Tues 7/19 I noticed the phones WIFI was not on and I tried to turn it on but all that came up was a blank page, NO MODEMS, and the phone reads under WIFI "connection not allowed". also at the same time I noticed that the battery is draining very fast even when phone is not in use. Up until this happened the phone was working great. I called AT&T and went through 2 techs to tell me it is a software problem and to Factory reset the phone. I hated to do it but did it anyway a few times and still the same problems.
One time though when I turned the phone back on I had the WIFI and when I looked the page was full of modems and routers in my area. Within a few minutes the phone rebooted on its own and when it came back up the same problems were back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I am on a fixed income. I have a warranty but have to put money out of pocket.
I have read some people having the same problem so it is not only me.

Same problem on my D855 ((
Recently, my touch was broken so I replaced with from a shop. From that day my wifi wasn't turning on. But, after sometimes it turn on and suddenly again disappear. So, i go back to the shop and they assemble the phone once again very careful as they said nothing is wrong with the hardware. Now, it worked like 4 5 hours again disappear for no reason. Again i tried many ways search on google tried many solution even factory reset. I tried to drill the battery to zero percent wifi comes back again its gone after some times. Again I visited the shop they try to clean the phone antenna and everything. assemble it careful. Well it runs again and after few hours disappear. So, I tried to figure out what actually the problem. I remove the back cover and try touch the battery couldn't move it as it is fixed with glue. But, whenever I open the cover the wifi doesn't work. But, i try to move the battery and create pressure on it without even turning off the phone the wifi comes back. But, later again after few hours the wifi is gone.
When its gone sometimes it disconnecting and connecting again and again. Sometimes it even couldn't find the signal at all. In my area I find many wifi routers with mine too. But when the problem occur it can't find any network so Its not my router problem and other phone's and laptop are working well with my router.
The problem is that it suddenly disappear with no reason and I have no idea what is the problem ??
can anybody help me to fix the issue ?
