HTC refused to repair my phone because humidity sticker was red, i asked for a photo, and OF COURSE, the photo was a fake (showing a red stick on top of the sd card reader), with many rust, and some spill of water
i opened my phone and i didn't find any sticker and was shiny like new, sd card reader was PERFECT
where i can find other humidity stickers? i'm going to check if they are white or red, because i want to show to HTC that my phone is PERFECT, with no water damage. Unresponsive touchscreen is a common problem, and it's not because of water...
Take battery cover off, look very very top left. The red reset button is bottom left, same place only at the top.
i can find only one sticker on the battery, no sticker in the top left
any sticker inside the phone (on the motherboard etc etc)

OK, I think I did some thing stupid.
I ripped off the black vinyl like sticker on the back of the phone.
(Had an OCD moment). Too late I realized that the sticker led to the vent holes on the back of the phone.
Now my GPS won't work.
Was that black sticker part of the antenna, or shielding?
(Did I screw up my phone?)
Or is my lack of GPS signal now a complete coincidence?
i ripped the sticker below the battery just like you , now i'm getting very low signal .......... i think we're screwed !
so my thunderbolt had gotten wet and died. however the void sticker is still black and intact. the battery sticker is still not indicating water damage. are there any other indicators in this phone?
Take the back cover off, its one on the top side of the battery, and its one on the left side of the phone in a little "peep hole" that has a void sticker on it
I got pushed into the water at a party. Phone in pocket. Let my phone dry out for three days. Popped in a new battery and it works fine. Hope your luck is as good

you know it's funny, my old HD2... i threw it out the window once while i was driving and went back to get it. it was still just fine a side from a few scratches. another time i had it laying on the center console and some jerk pulled out in front of me, had to slam on my breaks and the HD2 went flying at the windshield.. it ended up causing a major crack(spiderwebs and all) and had to get the windshield replaced. yet the HD2 was still fine.
one day i accidentally spilled a few drops of water on it and no matter what i tried(drying out, putting in bowl w/ rice, etc) nothing at all work. the thing was dead.

If the battery and. The sight hole on the phone are both a solid color then it has water damage according to Verizon, if red background with white letters or numbers visible then water damage they can't hold you responsible
Bolted Down....

where is the "sight hole" can you take a photo of what it should look like and its location?
i believe i found it. it seems to be viewed threw the gap on the lower left side.
Possible fix
I once got my phone wet and first thing I did was shut it off take out the battery and put it into a box of dry rice, the rice will pull the water out of the phone, leave it in there as long as you are able to. worked for me and my phone was watered by sprinklers for like 10 mins.
water damage indicators
Besides the one on the battery and the clearly visible one on the upper right of the phone there is a hidden water indicator in the crack along the left side of the case. BELOW the void sticker. You will see a light rectangle outline in between the between the pairs of holes below that void sticker. Look in the crack right next to that rectangle. You might need to shine a light in there to see it clearly.
I just discovered this when debating whether or not to try to get a warranty replacement. The visible indicator is fine but the one in that crack is half red and half x's.
Where are all the water indicators on the atrix?
Water Tags
When I brought mine in, they just checked the battery tag (on the battery) and the tag just to the right of the sim card.

What should that little sticker on the battery look like if it is or is not wet?
white with a little red x pattern. If it is all red, it got wet.
I think you can grab an OEM replacement battery off of EBAY that still has the dry sticker.
My battery is fine and is white with red x's. I'm having a hell of a time with this red sticker beside the sim card...
you may be able to buy a liquid damage indicator off of say a site like ebay and then remove the back cover and replace the sticker....keep in mind there is a third liquid damage indicator on the backside of the motherboard between one of the main connectors and the vibrator.
so...
1st one is to the right of the sim card, which is supposed to be white, turns bright red when touched with water
2nd is on the battery it is normally white with red x's, it turns red when touched with water
3rd is underneath the motherboard,also white, turns bright red when its water damaged. It isn't stuck on very well so in theory you could probably just scrape it off with a piece of plastic and just leave it missing...
in the process of disassembling your phone you will probably make it obvious to any tech that takes it apart that you did disassemble it.
in talking with different techs sometimes they open the phone up and check the 3rd one, sometimes they don't...
Hi guys, I was wondering how the water sticker is supposed to look like? I bought my evo 3d used, but at the time of sale it seemed completely fine. However, the stickers on the battery and inside the battery slot on the phone have red stripes going through it...is that normal? Thanks to anyone that can answer this.
That's normal and there is one on the back of the phone right below the headphone jack that should look the same.
I believe the red turns white when wet. I know I thought it would be white--->red but no.
The red lines once wet bleed and turn the whole sticker red. Its happened to mine

My theory is they put the red stripes on there so you can't bleach them if they get wet because they used top be poor white and turn red or pink when they got wet.
First off i'm not really sure where to post this because there is no durability section in real life reviews and i think this is more of a discussion than a question.
So what do you think of the durability? After watching this video i realized that this phone can benefit a lot from a case, since: the flash and color spectrum cover is plastic, the camera sticks out and the aluminum seems to be painted (at least in the pink version).
The aim of the thread would be to share experiences, findings (like exactly what kind of aluminium is used and is it painted or naturally colored) and maybe even guides that are durability related (like removing scratches).
As i inspected my phone i noticed a lot of hairline scratches on the back, after only one week of use, luckily they are only visible from certain angles in good lighting. They don't rub off (like htc or iphone back scratches). My first reaction was to maybe try toothpaste, but i think i'll hold off as of now. If i end up trying anything i'll add it to this thread.
Dropped my xz1c accidently today down the spiral stairs from 3m descending slowly 20cm/steps 5 times then after 2m mark hit mirror glass wall in front and straigh fall straight to granite floor, microsd tray came out by 5mm, above the sdcard / sim card tray near screen plastic chip off, under the left corner there is a serious bending slightly upward, can see some opening under the bright light, likely not water tight anymore, but pressure sensor test says it is still water tight, not willing to risk it though.

Where can i access the pressure sensor test? I couldn't find it in the support app among the other tests.
