[Q] Water Sensor / Indicator is Pink. Is this normal? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello fellow Xperia Z Ultra owners. I was looking at the humidity / water sensor / indicator on the phone next to the SD Card slot and it is a feint pink color. Is this normal, or is it normally completely white? Thanks for your help!

No... not normal!!
-Red indicates water contact on the actual detection paper.
-White indicates no water contact on the detection paper.
Pink indicates humidity present, which maybe considered normal after say... 6 months ??
(Mine is pure white, and have had it in the water many times)
Q. Where have you had this device??

Thanks!

Hi hamdogg. Thanks for your reply. I actually bought the phone used off of Swappa.com.
You've given me some great info. I think I should return the phone, although I do love it, which is a bummer.
Thanks again!

yes. i would return it too, good luck. a great device!

Well noticed, op, yeah, I'd send it back too. Warranty won't be honoured. Be OK if it was over 12 months old but not this new.

[Q] LED indicator on S II

Hi Guys
I was curious to know whether there is an LED indicator on the S II (i had an atrix before, and kinda got used to the blinking LED for notifications.) . The captivate dint have it either. I wonder whether any of the samsung phones has this feature at all.

No, there isn't. But there'll be alternatives! There's already a topic on this with a few good replies.
EDIT: Try looking at this, should hopefully answer a few questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024473
Probably not...but you can use noled from the market

just remember, when the zombies come one night, they will go first after all those LED-endowed people with blinking lights on them.

HaHaHa... Classic.
Although I did wish for some sort of a LED indicator, but wont miss it as I don't have it on the iPhone anyway.
Bln-control could be used..not as bright but still does the work.

Down side to covering the noise cancelling mic?

Looks like it is going to be awhile before the case I want is out. I can get the international version of it now. But like others have pointed out it covers the top noise cancelling mic. If I do that what exactly is that going to do?

Not much. You can also cut a hole in these cases carefully and use them if you are really concerned.

Yeah the focal point is off, it was hard to tell from the viewfinder when the picture is pretty much a black on black reflective object . I didn't want to spend the time shooting it again, but you can see the hole.

Hey, they added more colors (blue, black, and "red") were the only ones when I bought mine. That red appears to be masquerading as orange.
I'd imagine you could also accomplish something very similar with a Dremel tool and the right bit.
Or if you want the $0.10 solution, a paperclip and lighter.

Portion of LCD screen dead, again...anyone else with this problem? [pic inside]

Sounds weird, but this is the 2nd ATRIX I've received and within 4 months, a portion of the LCD screen just...dies. not dropped or water damaged either. Also with both phones it was the SAME part of the screen...and almost exactly 4 months apart...odd.

As you can see, that strip doesn't recognize contact, in either portrait or landscape. Anyone else experience this flaw?
Yup. But mine was at the top. I sent it in for warranty and got it fixed.

I've also got the same problem, except the dead portion of the screen is the exact part where the first notification in the notification bar is.
Any ideas?

Digitizer. The weakest part of that phone. If its in warranty, you're lucky. If not, search around for a replacement.

I just bought my second digitizer. (first one was not oem and worked but it didnt have minor details like tint where the sensors are.) My original one went dead, the second one i dropped the phone and it started going bad. Here is a link to an oem one from amazon. It should get here by monday so I will update you on the condition of it. I would NOT recommend going for a cheaper non-oem version.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
EDIT: I got the digitizer... and broke the ribbon cable lol. It was in perfect condition though and the company issued me an RMA so im getting another. I am sure that it worked fine. Seems like a great company (i got it from seller1on1) I have bought from them before, i cant say anything about how good the other companies are.

Cracked screen in the corner - need advise for a cheap replacement

Hey folks, I dropped my Z Ultra and it cracked the glass in the corner, the screen and touch are still 100% functional but the phone doesn't look sexy anymore...
I was wondering if I will need to replace just the touch screen, I don't know how this phone is layered and how deep the damage was so if any of you guys have any experience on that and could look at the photo bellow to give me an advise I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Cracked screen:

Is almost impossible to replace the digitizer without a proper tools...
U can try but i can tell u the adhesive Sony used are pretty strong as is water resistance device...
I would suggest u to just put some stickers/protector film instead...
But if I buy the LCD + Digitizer it should be no problem right?
R u going to install urself without the special equipment??

I was thinking of. I have replaced many phone screens before from iPhones and I've got a toolkit with tiny screwdrivers, etc.
Send it in to Sony. i cracked mine twice. first time sony charged me $250. The second time they sent me a new phone free of charge

[Background] Real X-ray of PF1

Hello.
Snuck an x-ray of the Poco at work, makes a great background.

I am not a the time allowed to share the link, but posting the image seems to work.

Thanks for sharing, awaiting your full export eagerly!
I made it to Poco F1's resolution, and added some effects.

Really nice but it's the wrong side - Backside. XRay from Front - Displayside would be more accurate.

I'm sorry but that is not how x-rays work, this is taken with the screen facing the tube. The problem lays within the display, it's not really made of anything solid.
I could theoretically do an exposure that would show the screen, but it just would not look so good.
