so to tell in brief what i did today i took it in the rain running
i cleaned it with sanitiser
here is a picture can anyone tell me if this can break my display in long term is it repairable ffor cheap
and kill my phone its in the right hand corner
What phone and type of display?
Looks like you got water inside.
Power it down immediately.
Pull rear cover and pull the battery, ASAP!!!
Place in a warm, dry room with a fan on it for a few days.
Connect battery, boot and inspect display.
Reassemble if ok, use new OEM seal for rear cover.
No time to dilly-dally Mr. Wick... tic-tok
The screen brightness and color are adjusted automatically to react to ambient light conditions. Usually the change is so gradual it's barely noticeable, but can be fast if the light hitting the screen changes rapidly and substantially. You can choose to disable this behavior, but you should give it a chance first

Is there any way to disable the "Breathing" Navigation ring when its charging or the solid light when its done? I keep this phone by my bed at night and really don't enjoy the flashing lights in my room.
Thanks,
Landon.
set it face down while charging.
Not to be rude but thats like taking the switch off the fidge door's light and just closing it. The lights still on you just don't see it. I'm concerned with the lights life if its on 1/3 of the day. Also when I recieve email through the night the phone vibrates and grinds the screen into the wooden night stand. I dunno, seems to me that the charging icon up top would be good enough and the breathing lights unnecessary.
Thanks,
Landon.
the lights life? its an led. leds never burn out. as for the notification, seeing as its part of the hardware and not a setting in windows mobile, youre stuck with it forever. set it on a cloth or something, or set something over it.
Can I set mine to strobe? Its really slow and annoying. I only like fast things.
...and not to be rude but I don't want to wave my fingers in front of it for effect.
ROFLMAO!!!!!
I used to have an extra piece of nice microfiber cloth which I folded and put the phone face down on next to my computer. Something that keeps the phone from scratches and simply to block out the light.

Wow Really? Is your Raphael a special edition made of eggshells? I mean HTC would never have thought someone would have their phone face down on a wooden table when It vibrated. Also, what the heck kind of rough sandpaper nightstand do you have?
If the short 1 second of vibrating scratches up your screen, maybe you should get a Screen Protector (good to have anyway) or perhaps a nice phone case.
Yesterday my phone got wet, the screen is howing some kind of wet spot under in, but heres the thing?
At the edges it seems the water damage is lightening the screen, yet in the middle theres a dark shadowy patch!
Any advice is great thanks?
take the battery out put the phone at a bowl with a dry rice give it a 48 hours
and your phone will be like new (tried a lot of times)

This. Do this.
And do not delay.
If the phone works at all now it's because you're lucky and the water didn't get to anything sensitive yet. But the key word is 'yet'. It only takes a drop of water on a circuit board to ruin the device. If you don't have any rice at home right now, turn the phone off and pull the battery out NOW. Then go get rice. Don't leave the phone on to go to the store. The sooner the power is off, the better.
What happens is that the board gets slightly wet and when electricity is introduced there's a short. And tiny little circuit boards aren't designed to deal with electrical shorts. It hurts them. Badly. And quickly. And irreparably.
So taking the battery out is key as there's still electrical power in part of the circuits when the power to the phone is off. (Something's got to be polling the power button to know what to do when it's pressed. Something has to regulate the charging that works when the power is off, etc)What the rice does is creates a very dry environment by absorbing moisture.
In 2 days the rice will have sucked the water right out from under the screen.
And once you put it in the rice, don't touch it. Don't test it. Don't fuss with it. Just leave it there for 2 days and use another phone.

DO NOT RUN YOUR PHONE IF IT GETS WET. PULL THE BATTERY RIGHT NOW.
Even if your phone gets wet it is usually only damaged by running it after it is wet. If you let your phone dry for a few days it should be fine.
Thanks for the advice, that much i was already aware of - it was the dark area that appeared on the screen.
I have had the phone back on and run it with the screen max brightness and the dark patch has almost gone theres 2 small dots that are slightly lighter.
I will see what its like tomorrow.

It should go away completely. I got mine where it was dark all the way around,and a fairly large spot in the middle. I just left my phone off four 24 hours, then used it, the spots were still there, but they went completely away.

Maybe I'm just a little too picky or ocd but I noticed my charge status LED goes from a brightly lit red just before reaching 100%, to an extremely dim (barely visible) green when the battery has been fully charged. When I hit the home or power button to turn the screen on then back off, the green LED is visible and bright. Anyone else notice this?
[UPDATE] Never mind, I'm an idiot... I should've known this, the light sensor dictates the LED brightness level.
I don't know if samsung was just rushing to get these replacement devices out and had to speed through the assembly process but my device looks just that way. The overlay is noticeably off center to the left across the top where the sensor, camera and iris scanner are located. To the left of the home button there is a thin vertical line indentation as if there is a small dent on the shell of the device under the overlay.
Once again, could be I'm just overly critical, but for a device pushing the $900 retail mark I expect more. Venting complete...Still love my Note 7:good:
So, I was trying to replace my Nexus 5s camera and I disassembled the main motherboard. Replaced my camera and everything but after I reassembled the phone, I found out that there's no display. The LEDs work fine, because I see them light up and I see that the screen is black but it's a bright black and the screen is on. So after tampering with it, I found that the little USB charger port wire board wire thst connects just above the battery (idk how to describe it, its the orange strip that locks the battery in place) had a direct correlation with the display. If I unplugged it, the screen would go dark and off. If I replugged it, it would be on again. After doing this a few times, I actually got my phone's display to show for a little while before it went away to black again. So will buying a new orange strip part work or would I have to go to the bottom where the little screen digitizer is? I'm sorry if the problem is unclear because I really don't know how to say it or explain any better. Please help.
Replacing that strip is actually not easy.
With the device open, try to apply a little bit of force on the plug of the orange strip, there are mentions of the contacts stop working after upluging/pluging back.
You probably could buy a front frame (glass, touch, lcd and chassis) from ali cheap.
Hi,
My customer brought to me a Samsung A40 after water damage. After cleaning up and replacing the screen to the original one everything looked great until the first call. It appeared that both the light sensor and the proximity one are not even visible under *#0*# menu. I can easily bypass that by switching the power off button to end the call but since then the smartphone also doesn't turn off the screen :/
I've set to turn off the screen after 15s, udpated the software, performed wipe cache and full factory reset. None of them had worked. Screen if not manually locked remains ON all the time. Can it be connected somehow to the damaged sensors? During the call screen is still blinking.
I would be gratefull for any tip in this case.
I can even root the device to just get rid of that "not turning off of the screen". Is there some app maybe to force screen lock after some time of not active?

Check for moisture and/or corrosion on the ribbon cable connectors.
Water damage is unpredictable especially if the battery is not pull immediately.
The best thing to do is flush liberally with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol* and completely dry.
Salt water is always lethal... eventually.
*isopropyl or any solvent will poison LCDs, never use it near them. Use best judgment otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. I've already put the phone apart and cleaned every single pcb, connectors, cables with isopropyl in ultrasonic wash and manually with toothbrush. Left it to complete dry for about 48 hours and put it back together. Before that the phone was completely dead. Now everything is working except those 2 sensors. I don't have any datasheet to this mainboard so i don't even know what else can I measure.
Whole thing happened like 2 months ago and the customer just tried to manually lock the screen but its not always possible and he noticed that his battery is drawing pretty fast due to screen on. On the current stage I'm just looking for some workaround to force the screen sleep and remains until power button pressed.
What is funny. The screen goes to sleep after 15s when connected to charger and locks after 1 minute just like I've set in the settings...
When it is inpluged from charger screen remains awake all the time :/ Maybe that's some clue for anyone?
More tests: light sensor seems to be working correctly. It adjust brightness when covered and uncovered despite the fact that it is not visible under "sensors" in "*#0*#" menu Proximity sensor still doesn't work. When calling someone screen remains black and just flashes from time to time...
But the main problem is still with those screen always awake. It is only going to sleep when connected to PC or charger :/ No moisture visible anywhere. I've found a post with the same problem but there was visible that phone was detecting periodically USB connection when it was unplugged. In my case Samsung is not noticing anything on tray etc. It just remains awake until pressed power button or connected to charger
I will try to replace USB charging PCB and give You the feedback
Maybe contacts on a BGA chipset corroded and shorted out a logic circuit pathway.
If it's under a chipset... game over, however it may on be an accessible area. Optical aid and good light.
It's also possible the water shorted out something enough to damage a chipset.
Replacing the USB PCB did the job. Everything works correctly, screen is going to sleep. Moreover the proximity sensor has started to work correctly
We may close this topic.
For the record, you can use *#77692# for the light sensor and proximity sensor if they don't show up in *#0*#.
