[Q] Xperia X10 Water Damaged :/ - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT NEEDS ANSWERS ASAP! PLEASE HELP!
So i'm just wondering if the water damage indicator will turn back all white or to its original state, before the water damaged it, after having the phone chill in rice. And does anyone know how long my phone has to chill in rice for ? Does rice only work for water and does it work for stuff like body spray as well ?
Someone please help me TT___TT

From what I understand the ldi or liquid damage indicator window is white, when exposed to moisture three red or pink dots appear, also check to see the phones metal terminals where the battery goes they should be gold with with no corrosion or discoloration. Good luck with the rice thing-

[Q] Got the thunderbolt wet. need to know location of water indicator

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.

Rezound Water Damage

Hey guys,
Picking up a used rezound. How can I tell if the phone has water damage? I know that there should be strips inside the phone once I take off the back cover, but do you guys know where exactly they are and what color they change to if they have water damage? Also, is there anything else I should be on the lookout for--I'm going to through the issues sticky. haha.
Cheers!

[Q] Xperia Z2 water damaged

On Tuesday, I partially immersed my Xperia Z2 in water and somehow water got in [I am positive the flaps were sealed tightly (As a matter of fact, I didn't even submerge that part.)] I immediately turned the phone off and shook some water out of it and placed it in the sun. A few hours later, I turned on the device to find water in the display. I again turned it off and placed it in a box of rice and silica gel.
So today is the second day after the disaster. The phone seems to be functioning properly and I GUESS some of the water dried out.
SO this is what the display looks like as of now. (I attached an image)
Now, I don't know if this is just water (I believe that's what it is) or if the display is just damaged and I need to get it replaced?
I would really appreciate any kind of help

Can you please attatch a picture (or maybe email it to me at [email protected]) just so I can see what the display looks like..
Did you like try to do anything on your own with the phone to dry the water out or something?
Also, how long was your phone wet before you took it to the technician?
-Thank you

I thought the Z2 is water proof. Isn't it ?

Some Z2s have a slightly open area between their frame and the screen. It's a manufacturing defect.
Does this defect exist even in recently manufactured units? I mean once Sony became aware of the defect they didn't bother correcting the manufacturing flaw ?
Every-time I submerge my Z2 underwater.. more or less 10cm- 20cm there is some condensation buildup on the cameras and flash. All flaps are closed, is this normal??
Here's mine after some water splash, I didn't even submerge the phone.
I tried to make the water dissappear by playing some games so the device gets hot, then I put it on the magnetic charger and the next morning the water was gone.
Warranty should cover it but I just didn't want to be without the phone for 3 weeks

That's not a good sign, it means water got into the phone, I wouldn't submerge it ever again if I was you

Nope, that shouldn't happen to a water-proof phone at all.

Pretty bad waterproofing then! I also have a bit of moisture on the screen.
Will be leaving the phone overnight in rice, hoping it helps!

Much easier way: place the phone in an air-tight container filled with rich (or even silica gel). Works like a charm!

Water in my Z2 Screen !

well as the tittle said, there is water in my Z2 screen......
I wash my phone on bathroom with cold water like 30 secs... then I dry it using the toal... and later i started to blow air at the buttons, like power, volume and even the speakers. later I saw some kind of transparent spot inside mi screen at the right side of the screen.... The phone works fine camera, speakers, everything is working fine... touchscreen etc. but I dont know what to do with that water. maybe hairdry? rice? what else?
You used blower and push water around side keys with high pressure air into lcd panel.
I work in mobile service center and dismantle too many xperia Z series, these are water resistance, not water proof
Never use blower again, your phone dry water itself after a few hours

well after I dry the phone using the taol, with my mouth I blow some air on the keys..... Now I am using rice and hairdry and almost 90% of the water is gonne, some little white dots are missing....
Hey check if the water damage indicator is still white. I believe it's inside the micro sd card slot and the micro sim slot. If they are still white, go to Sony and tell them that you just wash the phone in tap water for awhile and dried it using a cloth. They should bring in to service it and it should be out pretty soon. Good luck!

but Sony says these are waterproof
I wash my z2 every week, so far no problem
You should nvr use a blower to blow water out as It could actually blow the water deeper into the phone.
Instead use a vacuum cleaner.
Leave your phone in rice for around 3-5 days with all ports open and micro sd card and Sim card taken out. ( that was the amount of time I used when I couldn't turn on my phone at all after dipping into a waterfall ?)
That ought to get all The Water out.
well after about 8 days on trying to fix the phone, I used Hair dryer, rice , etc. there was still some moisture on the screen, like white little dots, so I decided to sell the phone that way.. and now I got a new Z2 black color. now I dont know if I should wash my phone....I am afraid of water now for phones.....
I wash my z2 every time that I go bath
Don't hesitate on this, just when you wash it, don't use blower etc

Kept in a bowl of rice for 8-10 hrs bt no improvement :crying:
Most likely your back glass has come loose. Check to see if it's raised in one corner (usually one of the top corners). It's not watertight anymore. Take it in for warranty repair.
