So, here's what happened: I dropped my phone in a bucket of water, but got it out really fast and turned it off immediately. Now, I let it dry completely and it works fine, except that the rear camera doesn't. I can read it's info on AIDA64, but the camera by itself won't work. In the default camera app it gives me a error that it can't connect to the camera.
I did open the phone and let it dry like that and I even wanted to disassemble it completely, but stopped halfway and put it back together. Now, I did unplug the rear camera, but I plugged it back in and there was no water on the camera or that part of the motherboard and ever since I can use it again, the rear camera doesn't work anymore. Tried to unplug and plug it back in again to get it to work, but no luck.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Maybe you should buy another sensor..

Well, sure, I'm just trying to figure out if the camera itself is broken and not working or if it's the board that messed something up.
Easiest way to find out would be swapping working camera sensor from another Redmi with yours. Good look with that, water damage is the worst
I'll look into it, thanks for the help guys.

hello, phome got wet yesterday, unplugged battery, let him dry, now evryrhing is working, just camera app dont want to start, no error
More information would help. Are you rooted, what rom, etc. If you are not rooted, do a factory reset. If you are, flash another rom.
However, I can guarantee you the water is the problem, and you probably wont be able to fix it.

Try using another photo app, such as Instagram, just to test that there is no fault with the actual camera.
Happened to me once, my solution was opening the phone completely and putting it on a rice bag for a week
I didnt put it apart, even put in in rice.
And after month and a half (yesterday) camera started working by itself
I've been having a problem with my phone. I recently had the motherboard and screen replaced by HTC. I'm now running MeanBean, and the camera will not start. It started working after I did a factory reset, but it stopped working again now. Is this a hardware issue?
I tried updating to the 4.3 camera apk, but I get the message, "Unable to connect to Camera" when using that application. Is it possible the cable to the camera is loose?
Update again. I took the phone apart and reconnected the ribbon cables for the camera. Maybe they weren't seated correctly. My Void sticker fell off after opening the cover after getting my phone back from repairs. So I had nothing to lose by taking the phone apart... Plus, I don't feel like waiting another month for them to fix it anyway. So I'm glad this worked (for now). I'll try and update in a few weeks if it is or isn't working still.
Well that didn't last long. Once again, can't connect to the camera.
My only suggestion would be to contact HTC. They usually have a warranty period on their work
I was afraid of that, haha. They took so long the first time. I had an EVO 3D I bought for a temp phone, but the service was so terrible on that, I would rather not go back to it for another month.
Hi!
I went swimming with my phone with my phone in my pocket and once i realized i took it out and once i got home there was water vapor inside the lens. I just used a hairdryer to get rid of the vapor. Later, when i tried to take a picture, the camera kept fc'ing so i decided to wait overnight to see if it may fix itself and reboot it but none of those worked so i reflashed it on flashtool and it still doesnt work.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in Advance,
Harrold

You could try putting the phone into a bag full of rice to allow the rice to absorb any moist in your phone. Remember to open all the flaps to expedite the process.
Hey guys, today i think some water leaked inside the phone (i saw 2 water patches inside the camera) and the camera stopped working. (Not accessible as the phone says, + flash isn't working either) any ideas to fix the problem? Or if i'm wrong, what's causing it?
really soryy to hear > should be water resistant. let it dry.
My M4's back is broken, too. I think its glued badly enough. Send your phone to services please, they will fix it. For free of charge if it has warranty.

You should try to put your phone into rice for about 1-2 days, and hope that fixes it (No kidding)
PS:
The phone got fixed by itself (?) camera is working again, i didn't do anything with it, just started working.

I know about rice and thank you for the answer. Just because I didn't want it to happen again, I sent my phone to services.
Hello to everyone, a few days ago my watch started shutting down after a while, sometimes write after boot and sometimes after 5 or 10 minutes or so. I tried reverting to stock settings (factory reset) also sync it with a new account from other phone, I even installed Everest Rom and still it shuts down after a few minutes. Also sometimes it gets very hot, all over the watch not only at the bottom or the front glass.
The watch is in my possession for around 1,5 year and it is the international version.
Same behavior, is the result of water geting in...
How is that possible , it is water resistant!?
Did you open it easily?

It was used a year, never taken off the hand unless charging., so it got into sea swiming, hot showers/baths, everything, and i did not kept it in clean water for 10 min, or what the manual says... . So all that chemicals and salt afected the seals ...
It was opened by the service guys, i sent it for waranty, which they ofcourse void it (apparantely no device is covered by waranty if liquides get inside them ... ?!?)
I will try to test if is fixable by my self.... with no water resistance...
Thank you my friend for your time and answers, I will try to open it and see if this is wrong with my watch too. Last year after every swim I did clean it up but this year I never did so maybe this is what happened to mine also.
My problem was not from getting water in

Can't really tell from the image, but it looks like there is some corosion/oxidation on the capacitors near the sensor ? (seems like some green/blue colored contacts). If so, maybe try to gentaly clean it, it could make electrical contact between components that should not be in contact.
Also look at the battery and see if there is any visible damage to it
... my battery is 0 volts, and a little puffy, i will try to see if it takes charge.
If yours got extremely hot as mine did, pls consider the safty issues of the situation

I think you are wright my friend, I 'll get back home and see it more closely and try to clean it up and see if that helps.
Well you were wright about sensor
I tried to clean as good as I could but with no luck , I also checked the battery and it seemed ok to me.
Then I decided to cut the sensor power by cutting the cable that connects to it and then booted up the watch and everything is working fine ,no shutdowns, no overheating problems and no battery consumption at all. I guess that the sensor is no longer working at all and it isn't anymore waterproof but at least I have a fully functional watch until i decide what to do. Thanks again for pointing out the corrosion-oxidation of the sensor. The only thing I cannot comprehend is how did that happen to the sensor capacitors, since there where no moisture inside the watch!?!?
Thanks again my friend!
