Hey,
I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet. it still works (and the toilet was clean) but the white dot you can see after taking out the battery and looking above the serial code is now red. Is there any way to replace that dot? Are there any other water indicators? My device is under warranty and I want to get it replaced.
there is another water indicator in your battery. you can try to find the water indicator sticker on ebay. i have no idea if they have the exact one.
I have replaced my phone at least 3 times and they always send me my phone first and then I send mine. Do you think they'll check the water indicators and fine me?
also anyone have a picture of a battery with the indicator? Mine is white with red lines dunno if that's cause it's wet or if it's always like that

They will see it has been in water from the indicators, and then you will be billed full retail for a new phone. My ex tried this herself..............yeah, she peed a little when she got the bill. If you are under contract, they will suspend your service if you don't pay for the replacement. She said FU to AT&T when this happened and changed carriers right away.
That's usually the first thing they ask, probably the first thing they check !
Btw, no such thing as a clean toilet...lol!

the cool thing is it works aside from some memory hiccups and the random alarm going off.
gps and internet work great lol i'll check ebay and let you know
so only 2 indicators right? 1 on the phone and 1 on the battery?
also would this work? http://www.instructables.com/id/Turn-Your-Cell-Phones-quotI-Got-Wetquot-Indic/?ALLSTEPS
Or maybe i can order a new phone and then swap the stickers then send them my busted phone?

I had a problem like yours before, except my Atrix was "damaged" by rain... Everything worked, but I just wanted to get it replaced, so what I did:
1. Ordered this: WATER DAMAGE INDICATOR STICKER FOR HTC DESIRE Z A7272
This is the replacement for the HTC G2, it's the largest water damage sticker size out there. Atrix is 6mm, G2 is 4mm. It works because only 2mm is shown on the Atrix, so that leaves 2mm for error.
2. When it gets to you follow this guide till step 6.
3. On the back cover that you took off you will find the red sticker. Peel it off. Take the HTC sticker and place it so that the white side is facing the right way, the sticky side won't be touching anything.
4. Apply a small piece of tape on the sticky red side to keep it on the casing. Check that you did a good job, and put the phone back together.
5. Get it replaced under warranty!
Thanks guys cheers
I wonder if you could just use like a plain white sticker, like from an address label or something
the only thing i'd be worried about is that they might try getting it wet
You guys do know insurance fraud is a felony right?

OK folks,
After a night of wine and tequila on a brother birthday, i got to home with my girlfriend. I get quickly to bathroom and my phone fell out of my coat directly on the toilet. When I saw, I took as fast as possible and not turned over, and dry it with a hairdryer, removed the battery and sim/sd card.
Apparently the screen still with some water on it inside. I didnt opened it because it still on warranty (1 month of use), so i'm freaking out, here in brazil I paid $800 (it costs $1200 really, but i got a promotion) and i'm out of money. So if you guys know something to do and if atrix have a protection, please help me.
PS: donation accepted
Like any other phone that gets wet...battery removal is a priority. Then put it in a ziploc bag of dry, uncooked rice for several days. Your warranty is now void since it's been wet, so dis-assembly shouldn't bother you.
you might as well take it apart to let it dry since your warranty does not cover water damage. you can always try to find some water damage stickers on ebay and replace them and try to get the warranty to cover it...
I already removed the battery, of course. I'm thinking of dis-assembly this and try to replace the water damage indicator, but there is no other sticker that motorola can know that i opened it? because opening void the warranty too.
Lesson learned. Don't put a phone in a pocket where gravity can take over and drop.
That being said, I've fixed a couple wet iPhones by putting it in dry uncooked white rice for acouple days.

Rice will usually work. HURRY
Thats not a 'lesson learned'. Every day the first thing i do when get in home is put the cell on its dock, but this time... it happens...
the cellphone is now on white rice uncooked, i'll leave it for some days and will try to call motorola to knows if they can do anything, maybe paying... i know the warranty is on the hell...
i'm just with fear about the water inside the lcd screen... i'll search around an video off dis-assembly of atrix..
My wife dropped hers in the toilet not only is it working fine but the moisture
sensor on the back under the cover is still white.
good thing our phone doesnt have void stickers so we can take it apart how many times we want without worrying, also the lcd is not glued to the digitizer and what not. so if there is water inside you can easily get it out..
kudos to moto.
I have found this: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/1
Someone know at where should i dis-assembly? i think it's very hard to assembly it again after.
Thanks to everyone that are trying to help me, i'll thank every one!
Sorry for double post, edit bnt isn't working here (Opera),
Do someone know where to find the water damage indicator to replace mine? I didn't find it on ebay (or doesnt know how to name it)...
Thanks in advance.
I would like to name this build (if you dont mind)..."Toiletblur"
If you take it apart and let it dry out it should dry out and work again. It happened to another phone I had.

Not quite so............corrosion can build up very quickly, and the only way to get rid of that is to take apart your phone, piece by piece, and very carefully clean out any corrosion deposits. There are guides for this with the iPhone, and other phones, but the Atrix is too new I believe for there to be a comprehensive guide showing what needs to be checked and cleaned. Contacts are one of the first places on which corrosion starts to appear.
Pretty sure there are no void stickers on this phone. Also there's only like 5 or 6 screws to take the whole phone apart. All of which are visible from the back. I stripped mine down as soon as I got it. I don't think there's any moisture sensors either. Maybe on the battery itself? If so just get a new battery

must have missed that one. phone comes apart real nice though. I bought mine broken. well the volume keys were messed up and the battery cover wouldn't go on right. obviously it was dropped. I took it all apart and when i reassembled it was fixed lol. one little thing around the volume keys must have been out of place. saved $200 of retail for it too
I had same experience. I did the white rice for a couple days, then switched to flower drying crystals. After a while the phone started to boot again.
To dry out the lcd, navigation is your friend. Drove for a good twenty minutes with the screen on and noticed that the streeks were disappearing. After another day, phone was like factory again.
Motorola built this phone right.

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.
Just wondering how to check if the phone has been wet. The person mentions phone doesn't turn on due to overcharging?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Haven't really looked back on my EVO, but when I bought a used Hero a while back they usually have some sort of sticker/seal that looks off showing that it has been wet.
This seal was on the back of the phone and located behind the batt.
Not sure if this will help but something to look in to though. If not, you probably could just contact your local sprint store and find out for sure though.
There should be a white sticker on the battery, if its pink it got wet. Im sure there are some inside the phone for repair reasons. I don't know how you over charge the evo3d because both the phone and the battery itself have circuitry to prevent this. If it has a bad battery, which is possible, a new battery should turn on the phone right away.
I hope your buying that phone as a paper weight!! Stay away unless they're giving it to you for free or your going to use it for parts.
You can open enroll in sprint insurance before the end of the month. Please do it for your new one...worst case is you are out $8.

As an "employee" for a "Un-named" carrier there are several indicators on the device. One is on the battery and there is another on the actual motherboard. These indicators should be white, any coloration of pink or red means the indicators have come in contact with some form of liquid. It does not automatically mean the phone was submersed fully in water and it also doesn't mean the phone is 100% dead. On the other side of things, it may actually be repairable with a little TLC.
I myself am one of those lucky individuals. I purchased a EVO 3D that would not power on at all and the seller just wanted to get rid of it. I bought it for $80. Took it home and fixed it. I've been using the it with no issues so far
You can enroll in Total Equipment Protection for $8 a month. Once added on your account it will take 20mins to take affect and if need be you can claim insurance for $100. Good Luck, hope it works out!

VZW is sending me a new Thunderbolt because of a small audio issue I was having with my phone. They told me on the phone if they detect water damage on my old Thunderbolt once they get it back, then I will be charged full retail.
Obviously I do not want that to happen.....thing is, I spilled part of a beer on my phone about 3 weeks ago. Immediately after it happened I took out battery and wiped the whole phone down.
It has worked fine since then besides the very small audio issue I recently started to have but this was just barely a week ago....I would think if it was cause of the liquid damage that that would've happened earlier.....
Anyway, is there any way they can tell if it has had water damage besides the battery sticker (Because I am sending them back the bare phone, no battery, no cover, no sd, no sim--just the phone)? How are they going to check? Should I do the rice trick just to be safe?
They probably won't look farther than the sticker. If they do, they could look for corrosion or residue around the main board.
Rice won't fix that

Yes but like I said they are just getting the phone back, not the battery, cover, sim card or sd card--just the phone. So since the battery will never leave my house, is there any other way they can tell?
As far as corrosion, wouldn't I notice my phone not working properly? Cause like I said, ever since the spill it seems to be working just fine....

There is a sticker on the phone itself. It is on the back right side of the phone near the top. Kind of hard to see, but rest assure Verizon knows it's there. If you have insurance, now would be the time to use it.

Underneath the battery, correct? What should the sticker look like when its dry and what should it look like when it has had liquid damage?
If they take apart the phone (or even just remove the back housing) then it will be very easy to see liquid damage, if any exists. I just replaced the screen on a thunderbolt a couple days ago, very easy to remove the back and take a look. If you want to check yourself, just get a torx 6 screwdriver, a thin flat head or knife to remove the "void" sticker and take a look for yourself before you find yourself on the receiving end of a $600 bill. Check YouTube for a video on taking it apart, it's very easy though.
How does Verizon check though? What are they going to look for?
Corrosion, internal liquid indicators. I don't think the T'bolt has any internal stickers, but some phones do.

OK I do not see the sticker you are talking about....snapped a few pics with my work camera, what do you think:
It's on the side of the phone. You'll have to tilt the phone to see it. It's white with red spots on it. If it got wet, its completely red. That will be the first thing they look for.

I stared at my phone for nearly 15 minutes and cannot find any stickers that are white, red or white and red. I don't see anything. I got my Thunderbolt on launch day (3/17/11). Is it possible the launch day Thunderbolts are different somehow?
Let me know if you need me to upload more pics, I can do that.

Well, mine has a sticker there. Perhaps yours didn't come with one, or fell off at some point, but after looking a bit closer to your picture, I don't see one either.
Either way, specially since it was beer, they will be able to tell if anything got in there. Rice won't get beer out, it'll be sticky either way.
I personally wouldn't take the chance.
If you have insurance, now would be a good time to use it.

A small audio problem that is like teeny rattling I hear when other people call me
There is no sticker on the Thunderbolt, I just talked to Verizon. They go by judging the prongs that the battery hits and if they are corroded, then they charge full retail.
Mine look super gold though and appear to be okay imo......
That's really odd. I had a sticker there... The replacement I just got has one in the sale place too... Of course the Verizon rep didn't even know what a bootloader was... Go figure...

You probably just damaged the earpiece speaker, which is pretty simple to replace and would only cost a few bucks. I can't say for sure, but I imagine the earpiece speaker is the same one that's in the EVO 4G or HD2.
The phones do have stickers, it is located right next to the two gold prongs on the upper right corner of the phone.
If your that worried about a full charge for the phone and since this issue may be related to the beer spilling on it, just use your insurance and pay the $99 deductible. Its better then getting hit with $600 charge.
Sometimes when liquids are spilled on a phone, it could take a little time for it to affect a phone.
Good luck
Hello Everyone,
I did a search but I didn't see anyone else posting something about this, but it seems likes my display glass is starting to separate from my phone about halfway down the body. The glass is now a hair higher that the actual plastic body on the left and I can physically push it down and the screen actually shows a wave, like when pressing too hard on an LCD or touching a non-touchscreen. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue?
I am trying to determine my best option for warranty service as I used the transfer the upgrade trick on VZW and don't want to throw up any red flags. I also want to keep my battery door because I have the wireless charging sticker on it.

Well that's no good! Sorry to hear that, I've not seen anywhere online either where people are having that problem.
As far as your options go though... Not sure you have many. You can either pay someone to replace the screen, if it's repairable and you can find someone.... Or obviously you'd have to just go for the insurance... I'm curious, how would you throw up any red flags if in fact there is something as obviously detected as your screen? I've not done the " upgrade trick " myself so bear with me if that's a silly question.
Well I might be able to get replaced under Manufacturer Warranty as there are no signs of damage. I also do not have insurance on the phone.
I'm having the same problem, the middle left edge of my screen is lifting up (very slightly) as well. Light bleeds through the edge of the screen and the lcd changes color when I press with moderate pressure. I plan on contacting Verizon for warranty support tmrw.
So I spoke to VZW and they told me that the screen lifting off from the bezel is considered a physical defect rather than a manufacturers defect so it is not covered under warranty support. FWIW my phone has not sustained any major drops or any major damage at all...
Do you guys have the qi sticker on yours? Mine does and it's a really tight fit... I was thinking that maybe it could be pushing out the screen
My Verizon LG G3 screen is now separating from the midframe on both sides in the middle of each side. It is up about a 16th of an inch, can be pushed easily back down but doesn't stay. Light leaks from the edges.

I discovered I had a spare sd chip and spare sim stored under my battery. When I removed them both, reinstalled the battery and qi circle case, the light leaking was gone.
Looks like the G3 is pretty flexible and that the display is not glued down except at the corners. If you crowd it in the back, the display can bulge out the front of the frame. This doesn't mean its broken or defective, just tight.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
Same thing has happened here on the left hand side only. I must admit I decided to store a spare SIM under the battery and a day or so later noticed a raised edge on the left side of the screen. I immediately realised this must be the case and removed the spare SIM but now the left side it ever so slightly raised, I notice this most when using the phone in the dark/dark areas as light bleeds out along that raised edge.
I may try get a replacement but since this is the second thing that occurred with the LG G3 for me (first was cracked camera lens) I may just come to the conclusion the LG cant cut it against my old Galaxy S3, which is still going without fault all these years. Might just be eyeing up a new S6 sometime in the future.
Just coming here to say that this is also happening to my device, only on the left side, as well.
I am trying to activate the warranty to get it fixed.

Me too.. Gonna see about getting it swapped
Did you guys bought your phone New from the store ? Like Verizon ?
This issues sound like the aftermarket LCD screens sold on eBay. I have bought 3 LCD screens from eBay. For the LG G2 twice and one for the G3. Once installed and a few uses on the phone, parts of the glass lifts up from the LCD and frame. That's cause they're high quality not genuine LG screens... They don't have the good loca glue on the screen.
I am experiencing the same problem. i only bought it in June 2015 and I don't know how that happened because I haven't even dropped it once.
I am thinking to claim the warranty. Because it seems like the glue has come off of it.
Yup. Mine is doing this too now... awesome! Left side as well. This is my 3rd G3 since July 2014 - I'm done with LG.
From what I've seen on other phones, the screen is often held on by some kind of adhesive. Considering this phone gets red hot if you do two things, like talk on the phone and try to web browse (like so hot it's hard to even hold), it probably slowly breaks down the adhesive holding the screen on.
My vs985 display lifts a bit in the middle along both sides, but only when I have a spare sim or sim adapter attached back there with the battery.
Doesn't take much.

A solution would be a case that cover that area of the phone. for example:
http://www.amazon.com/G3-Case-Bastex-Heavy-Protective/dp/B00PIYNE7Y/ref=sr_1_12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1448743612&sr=1-12&keywords=g3+case
It's that Wireless Charging unit in the cover that brings the display up. Notice how the bleeding disappears when you take the cover off.
If you're not big on wireless charging, I suggest you perform operations on your backcover and get that bump out of there.
My LG G3 seemed to be having the same problem as well. It has beeen lifting slightly on both of the long sides and if it is on i can look at the side of the phone and see light escaping from the display. I orginally thought the my screen was somehow bent, but out of curiousity i inspected the back on the phone. In that i found that somehow my battery seems to be pushing my display out of the midframe... When i take the battery out the screen returns to the midframe on its own. When i try to put the battery back in it pokes out slighlty then when i put it in completely the display pops back out slightly on both sides again. I dont know how to fix this issue but if someone could figure it out that would be appericated.

Have you tried a new battery? Is your battery swollen? Sometimes they get bloated when they go bad.
