so my phone got wet.. probably something was spilled over it or something...
anyway it shut down immediately (obvious)
i've opened the battery and pulled it out and i had water there.. i've dried it with a napkin as best as i could and power it on.. id didnt work
i've tried to plug it in the charger (probably shouldnt but was in panic heh) and i got the boot logo and the battery showed 5 precent.. i've waited a couple of minutes and it went up and up.. then i booted the phone... everything worked fine.. thought it was over and all was good.
then after 30 minutes or so i've unpluged the phone and after maybe 5 minutes it shut down (battery showed like 30 precent)
anyway.. i've then dried it some more with a hair drier but still the phone didnt boot
every time i connect the charger it shows 5% but doesnt move from it.. always on 5%..
When plugged in i can try to boot up but i see the M logo and after a few seconds it shuts down, nothing happens
I also can enter recovery or RSD or all the things...
What can i do?? is that the battery thats faulty? or the phone is gone? what can i try??
Well you have probably ended up frying something by turning it on while it was wet. I think you should let it dry out completely and then try to boot it up. If it still doesn't boot its a goner.
Google ways how to dry it. One way is to put it in a bag of rice for 2 days.

Towards the right of the SIM card, there is a whole in the plastic that has a moisture indicator spot, if that is white, then things are goodish, but if it is red??? then you may be in bad shape. Also, on the underside of the battery, there is another indicator, it should be mostly white with red + all over it, however if it is all red??? then the batter may be a goner. However, electronics these days are protected from some type of moisture, so it may just be still wet on the inside and may just need to be dried up.
To dry up electronics, as mentioned, a bag of dry rice is a great moisture sucker. Otherwise if you have an abundance of silica gel packets laying around, you can toss the phone into a container with those and let them sit for a few days.
However, you did you a hair drier, to that I say good luck. That kind of direct intense heat is horrible for most electronics, there is a very good chance you have destroyed some other internal component, and you probably won't be using your ATRIX any longer.
The issues you are running into are hardware related and the fact you can power on the phone at all surprises me. If you have a warranty plan that supports water damage, you can try reaching out to them and see what they want to do to help you, but considering you blasted a hair dryer at it, I would be very surprised.
take the battery, sim, sdcard, etc out and put in dry rice.
You plugged it into the charger, so game over imo. Whether it turns on or not you have damaged it. Better to cut your losses and look for a new phone. Done it myself.

Thanks for the replies.. An update for the situation..
I've waited more for the phone to dry and rest and then my girlfriend (her phone actually) started to mess with it and somehow turned it on and it actually works now.
The spot near the sim is white but the spot on the battery is totally red..
Now the strange thing is that the phone indicator shows that there is 5 percent left but when I looked at the battery voltage it showed 4196.. In the morning I checked the voltage and it was 4100 and the indicator showed 1%..
What's up with that??
Is the battery ruined? Or something else? Im going to buy a new one anyway but still...

You may have got lucky and just ruined the battery. Watch for corrosion on the connectors in the phone for battery, sim, and sdcard. That may be the next problem if a new battery works out.

So I've had the photon since August and it's always worked great. Well this morning it dropped into the toilet and I grabbed it almost instantly, took it apart and dried it off, then put it in a bowl of rice for about 5 or more hours now. When I would place the battery in at first the flash would keep going off and if I plugged it in a white LED light would come on. The screen started turning a white foggyish color and I placed it back in the rice and it went away. I plugged it back in and the LED light flashed green then after a few seconds went to the motrola screen and says starting RSD protocol support and wont go away.
I just have no idea what to do now.
Put it back in the rice, maybe more weird things will happen
On a normal phone, RSD mode turns on when you press and hold power button and volume up button at the same time, so i assume that something is wrong with your volume rocker, the volume button somehow got stuck or something, so when you try to power the thing on it goes to RSD mode (like you are holding the volume up button)
same thing happened to me!
well it didnt happen recently.. but about a year ago i dropped my BB into the toilet
and immediately took it out and dried it off
i then took off the back case and battery and put it fully submerged in a bowl of rice for like a day and a half just to make sure it was all dried out
and even shifted the rice to get "fresh" rice next to the phone
after that it worked perfectly
good luck
and dont take it out too early or the moisture could mess with the phones board
:good:
Alcohol bath also helps. Disassemble the phone clean all connectors and board parts with 99% rubbing alcohol and qtips.

I think drying it out in the sun (maybe through a window if you live in a humid/rainy climate) works better than rice.
My wife dropped her LG optimus S in her coffee last year. By the time we got the warranty replacement, the old phone was working again. I just unplugged it and pulled the battery and let it dry out. Took a few days. I tell you, it was the best smelling phone we ever had. I almost kept it and sent back the replacement!!!!
Good luck.
Ok, Here's what happened
I was cleaning the toilet at home and foolishly placed my phone on the tank, as I finished I picked up my phone, slipped out of my hand and fell in the toilet. I know I know, why did I take my phone to the toilet? I have no idea, its the first and last time have done that.
Anyway, I removed the battery, sim and sdcard straight away and tried to dry the phone off as much as possible, then placed the phone and battery separately in a concealed bag filled with dry rice (to absorb moisture), I can now boot my phone.
The problem is that the phone says I need to charge my battery, now when I try and connect the charger, it says, 'Charging has stopped due to overheating'.
My question to all you pros, is this a battery or phone issue? I don't really want to order a new battery to find it's a problem with my phone. If it helps, when I tried charging it, I noticed excessive heat down one side of the phone, as shown in the attached image.
Be gentle :crying:
...
You didn't mention how LONG you kept the phone components in bags of rice before trying to reassemble and power the phone.
If it was anything less than several days (if using rice as a desiccant, most recommendations I have seen are a week, minimum) and this is the only technique you attempted to use to dry the phone out, then it is very likely the phone was not completely dry when you powered it back up, and you may have permanently damaged key electronic components by allowing an electrical charge to flow through them before they were completely dry.
MistahBungle's call of the board responsible for the USB port is a good guess on which component, though.
Thanks for your replies guys.
I only kept it in the bag for 48 hrs. As you mentioned this probably wasn't long enough. I may just try and claim through our house insurance as it does cover smart phones, I don't have normal phone insurance because I've never needed it until now.
Thanks again for your help.
This was my question before I converted it into a tutorial:
Sorry if this question was posted before (I did ask this in the NOOB-FRIENDLY thread, but didn't get a constructive answer)
My Xperia Neo V dropped into water.
Dried it with rice for a whole day and turned it on. Success! Was able to even play games.
Then I sent it for charging. (Battery was 8%)
5 mins later, it died.
Responds by entering flashmode after blinking red LEDs (3 I think), so I flashed stock.
Still couldn't start, so I sent it for charging (No response either after some hours)
I abandoned it and switched to a Galaxy Ace...until now....
Connected it to PC a month later.
It blinks red LED continuously, unplugged it and plugged it to a charger. No LED response whatsoever.
Plugged to PC again and POOF! Magic.
Detected by PC as my old MT11i :'D
LED is green, can do file exploration. Buttons are lit, vibrates when I press shutter button. No sound with the volume buttons
So the verdict...
CAN I STILL REVIVE MY NEO V?
IS MY DISPLAY DAMAGED?
This tutorial was made possible by @xange and @georgeiulian89. Thanks!
Usually when you drop your phone, you would be doomed. Or so you thought. With this tutorial, you can save A LOT of money buying a new phone or repairing the wet phone!
HOWEVER, I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR PHONE CAN REVIVE. THIS WORKED FOR ME (SHALLOW DIP IN WATER). YOU MIGHT ALSO NEED A NEW BATTERY (IF YOU THINK YOU CAN REVIVE IT)
Steps(suggested by xange, proved):
1. Remove your phone from the water source IMMEDIATELY! (duh) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWITCH IT ON OR PRESS ANY BUTTON.
2.Remove the battery, SIM and micro SD cards.
3.Dry the body with a dry cloth. Try not to use tissue paper as it will leave residue.
4.Disassemble the phone, all the way to the motherboard. I used a small slotted screwdriver (the one with only one edge)as there are screws shaped like stars. If you have that type of screwdriver you can use it. Similar disassembly video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginuDIeNCs8
WARNING: INTERNAL PARTS ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO STATIC, METAL,ETC. BE CAREFUL. ALSO REMOVE THE CONNECTIONS TO THE FRONT COVER AND DIGITIZER (display) BEFORE REMOVING THEM.
5.Direct a blowing fan to all the internal parts to dry them. Keep the screws and parts in an accessible area. Leave it for 30 minutes. DO NOT DRY IT WITH A HAIRDRYER. YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO SCREW YOUR PHONE.
6.Reassemble the phone and insert the battery ONLY. NOTE: Make sure the ribbon connector is clean before connected, if dust (or any tiny electric conductor) sticks on the connector while connecting them, you will have high chancesof damaging the phone. Then, switch on the phone. If not,
A) CHARGE IT: Your phone battery might be 100% dead(until normal charging can't power it on). For me I pressed and held the Back button while plugging the charger into the phone (Flashmode). The LED should blink red and eventually, green. This is when normal charging starts.
B) REPLACE THE BATTERY: You'll need to do so especially when the (once)white area near the connectors of the battery has turned red, indicating battery damage.
C) SEND IT TO A (optional: AUTHORIZED) SERVICE CENTER: Out of luck. This is the furthest I can help.
ALTERNATIVE DRYING METHODS:
A)PUT IT IN RICE FOR A DAY: NO, Asians won't come to repair your phone. Rice acts like silica, which absorbs moisture like sponge. I suggest you disassemble the phone first as rice might get into the small holes around your phone.
B)SOAK IN ALCOHOL, THEN PUT IT OUT: Disassemble it first, too. Though I haven't tried this method, there are those who have proved it to work.
C) RADIATOR DRYING (suggested by georgeiulian89): I've turned it off,i've removed the back cover, took out the battery, sim card and sd card, and i've put the phone on the radiator (i've put a towel between the phone and the radiator and i've placed the phone on the towel). I've left the phone about two hours to dry, and then i've inserted back the sim, sd card and the battery and turned it on.
C)DRY IT WITH A HAIRDRYER: NO. RISKY METHOD. Water will evaporate, then condense back somewhere once you've done hairdrying your phone it will condense back. I tried it and it condensed on my phone's camera lens. (It's a hairdryer, not a phonedryer!)

I dropped my Xperia Neo into water for 3 times, yet still operable, i mean, it survived 3 times of dropped into a pail of water, NO JOKES! .
What you should do is, the moment you dropped your phone into water, pick it out of water immediately, open the back cover and take out the battery immediately to prevent further electric short circuit. You will need some small tool to open every single screw to get the mother board come out (careful when unplug those ribbon sockets, if it breaks, you may have to pay to replace it) and dry (using hair dryer?) every single spot in the phone, except the screen, the screen should be tightly seal and should have no water enter into it. maybe the rubber physical buttons you have to take out and dry it too. (DON'T open the screen no matter what happen, unless water really enters the screen, or else the dust enter and stick at the screen you will have a REALLY HARD TIME { i mean it } to clean those dust out of the screen) confirm everything is dried and then assemble it. (from here onwards, it is a luck test whether you still able to save your phone or not, a line between hell and heaven) Put in your battery, It is normal you may not able to turn on your phone at first, give it a charge about 20 minutes and leave it there (red LED may blink repeat-ly for a while and you will not able to turn it on, just leave it) then switch it on, If you still can't turn it on, try change the battery. If symptom persist, god bless you, i tried my best helping you. ( it means it may not 100% probability to save your phone, but it is a way i did to save my phone)
Eventhough my phone survived dropping into water for 3 times, but it has some problems now, a random one, the phones get really really hot for no reasons for a short period (about 1 hour to 2 days) the heat comes from the motherboard after my inspection, maybe some water droplet enter into the chips and causing electric short circuit?
Good luck.

I followed a disassembly video for the Neo, but unfortunately the Neo V has a slightly different assembly, so I could not remove the screen to get access to the motherboard. Also, before I put it in rice, I tried to turn it on (Sony said it was water-resistant) after 12 hours in rice. The screen went all weird but I could hint the LegacyXperia kernel logo. That was before my phone booted up normally, and died upon charging.
For your heat problem, perhaps rust? Water should have evaporated from the heat and condensed everywhere in the motherboard.
Would soaking it in alcohol help?

I guess that it's a problem with the battery, not with the display (probably the battery has been short-circuited). I dropped my phone (Xperia Neo) in water 3 days ago. I've took it out after about 10-15 seconds (this was the time until i've realised that it dropped). The phone was still working fine, it didn't shut down by itself. What i did: I've turned it off,i've removed the back cover, took out the battery, sim card and sd card, and i've put the phone on the radiator (i've put a towel between the phone and the radiator and i've placed the phone on the towel). I've left the phone about two hours to dry, and then i've inserted back the sim, sd card and the battery and turned it on. Gues what: it works without any problem, just like before the incident. You should check the water damage indicator on the battery (it's a white strip near the connectors of the battery). If it's white, the phone don't have any problem, but if it's pink or red, the phone was damaged by the water. Mine it's white, with some very little pink on the edge (before it was completely white).

Thanks for the tip but in all-summer Singapore we don't have radiators.
UPDATE: After following steps by @xange to reassemble and charge my Neo V, it BEAUTIFULLY WORKED!
The catch: Battery calibration problem, stuck at 100%. I'll figure a way out. Thanks a lot devs!

To get rid of 100% battery issue, you might just want to flash stock ftf in the first place, give it a full charge and then flash your desired driver.

Water got into my phone(obviously) and I tried turning it on because of water resistance. It didn't respond. So I tried charging it. Tell my why the phone's battery screen flashed? NVM that, I tried the ol' bag full of rice trick. I left it there for about 12 hours. I tried again, and I got into recovery, but with a reddish tint. Well, I tried re-installing my ROM, hoping that it was an easily fixable issue. When the rom was installing, I unplugged my phone, instant power off. And my phone was at 100% before the install. I panicked, and knowing that I had to use my phone soon, I did probably the stupidest move ever, and put it on AN ELECTRIC HEATER. I left it there for 5 minutes, because that heater gets so hot that the air in my whole house is dry after ~30 minutes. Now sometimes when I turn it on, if the charger isn't in, the apps initialize, then power off, other times I get nothing. If I put the charger in, I sometimes get a white-ish triangle with a red thermometer(I'm guessing temperature warning?) and sometimes the battery flashes periodically. Please help, because of family health problems I need to be able to use my phone.
EDIT***: Phone WILL turn on now, condensation on both cameras, and battery temp too low to charge, so now there's a broken thermometer.

This phone is not water resitant. So trying to turn it on, before it dried completely was not that great of an idea. You could still have someone disassemble it, clean the board in alcohol and replace the battery. I think you just overheated the battery and you might have several shorts on your "mainboard". So please stop using it, until someone cleaned the board at least in some isopropanole or even better isoprop in an ultrasonic device. Dont just throw it in completely, but the "mainboard" only.
