Yes some users report that the phone can swim maybe you can try and confirm.

How do you define "water resistance"? Would you like to throw it in the water (it will be dead after that, I promise) or just use it in the rain?
The 2nd thing I do all the time, my XS doesn't really get protected from the rain by me. It still works fine.

I generally bathe with my phone. I stick my soap on the back side, and scrub away. Try it.

I throw mine across a lake

Touch the little wand icon and scroll over to "no effect" which should be the left-most option. Looks like you have a lens effect set.

This happened to my old 6900. My wife threw the phone to me with wet hands, so it was either moisture or impact.

Display unstuck from body :(

Hey guys,
I dropped my phone the other day from 50cm on wooden floor (i have tpu case on it) and noticed that the screen is now a little bit up from the body right at the bottom right and I have now light leak from the back bitton ((
Screen is sticking out like 0.5mm
nothing major I guess, but was wondering if someone has taken their baby apart and knows if this is easily fixable? I guess it's just the glue, doesnt stick to the screen anymore, but not sure
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks )
Pic is bad quality sry

Can you take a close up photo. Someone might be able to help or suggest if they have a better idea.

With a case on you'd never know it.
Maybe somethings just popped and needs reseating?
Maybe there's a YouTube video somewhere?
Sorry can't help any further. Best of luck.

Crazy idea but might as well turn off the backlight buttons under settings. That should help to ease your eye strain from that light leak

Phone dropped in water

Hey,
Today I tried to test my phone how it respons when I‘ve dropped it in water
What I did:
1. It was too boring, so I‘ve got this idea
2. I‘ve dropped my phone in water for almost 5 seconds
3. I‘ve taken it out and tested, first time Back-Button wont work, then a few camera problems, battery drains (1% in 3 minutes![STANDBY!!!]), touchscreen wont response and I removed the battery: Water under the battery, was afraid to charge my phone. Rebooted, everything worked again
Changes:
My phone is cleaner
No fake, that‘s real
Drop your phone for 5 min then check what heppen.

Okay I‘ve found a LG Optimus One a long time ago, it was a good phone so I buyed another one, now I have two O1s, but paid just for one, as I said, I‘ve found that.
But will try that tomorrow, I HATE SCHOOL
This thread incites my rage. I get mad enough when I see someone put their smartphone in their back pants pocket; willful destruction of a perfectly good phone pushes all my rage buttons. This thread is bad and you should feel bad.

Dry it slowly with an air dryer and use rice..rice is an absorbent....leave the phone,battery out in rice for 2 or 3 days and the moisture should be soaked up by the rice

How could you do such a thing!!!!!! I treat my lg like a diamond and you dump it in water?! However, I'd like try (you can) putting the phone in distilled water for a couple of hours, since distilled water conducts 0% electricity so it shouldn't damage the phone, right?

[Q] Phone got wet. Total loss?

Hello!,
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section but you guys can correct me if I'm wrong and I'll move it to another post.
So here is the case for my Sony Xperia Sola. It fell in water and when I picked it up and turned it on it turned on (bad mistake I know! but that was the first time I ever dropped my phone in water and didn't know what to do in that situation.) it seemed fine but I was still worry. I took out my Sim and SD card and let it dry for an hour. After an hour I turned it on again and it seemed fine so I just left it alone. I never turned off the phone though just for clarification, which I should have after many research but it was too late. Next day I tried turning it on again and it won't power on just a black screen. Then I put the charger on it and the red L.E.D. came on. So I thought the battery was just low tried again to power on but still a black screen. Am I at a total loss here? Can anything be done to save my phone I love this phone and I just had it for 2 months. Maybe a fried battery by chance?
The first thing you should do when a electronic device falls in water is to put it in a jar filled with rice, the rice will absorb water but I guess it's too late to tell you that. If you have still locked bootloader and warranty you could try going to assistance. Hope you solve the problem

I heard this from a friend who has tried this with success, immediately put the device in a container filled with alcohol. It repels the water and does not harm electronics. Remove the battery of course.... Let dry... Should work fine.

You can't remove battery on Xperia sola, it's built-in.

I think it's a little late to soak my Sola in alcohol. It's been 4 days already since the incident.

Yeah, That's what I thought too. Heard that you can't remove the battery, but is it possible to take it apart to find the battery inside? Not a good idea but why not right, phone isn't turning on so minus well. Do you think it could be a fried battery? My front l.e.d. light comes on so any possibility there?
If led turns on I don't think it's battery problem, maybe screen doesn't work cuz water did something there.
You actually can take out battery some how but then it loses warranty

My brother just had this happen. A repair technician told him to take the phone apart and clean the corrosion off of the contacts throughout the phone. You can see it. He did, and the phone is fine now....

My brother didn't remove either. I think because alcohol evaporates very quick. He put his whole phone in the container. Later, after it dried, the phone worked. Maybe it was a fluke......

It's okay I didn't even buy warranty for the phone. So I'm at a dead end here only option left is to take it apart and see if I can do anything to it.

Are you for real? Find a consumer-grade tablet anywhere that'll get run over by a car and survive before you continue spouting your useless bile. But that's par for the course with you on this forum, isn't it.
OP: I'm impressed it turns on at all after that. Did you reverse off the tablet as soon as you hit it or something?

Probably not; although I am still wondering how a Nexus 10 could be left on the ground, and then ran over
Well. After work I walked to my car and this little old lady was trying to carry pizza and her purse next to where I work. I set the tablet on my trunk and helped her to her car. I drove home and realized where I left my tablet... Drove back and looked in the parking lot and it wasn't there. I drove home again and thought it may be in the street if It stayed on for a bit. So I went back and sure enough it was on the speed bump ran over. I think I ran over it on my first trip to look for it.
