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!

Hi -
I regretfully managed to drop my X10 in a toilet last night.... It's been a good 9 hours since at least and although initiallly it turned on when I started to charge it now it wont.
Now the red light if flashing when it is connected to the charger, and the screen is evidently a bit moist around the edges... EDIT: the phone just turned on so part of the issue was the battery being dead, but the screen slowly got darker and darker before switching off...
Is there any test for the phone company to see if it's water damaged?
Also, if I were to call them up and say there was an issue, I know they'd replace it with a straight exchange, so they wouldn't check it first.... Is it safe to do that?
Thanks
FIRST THINGS FIRST :
TURN OFF THE PHONE. NOW. Don't hang around, pull the battery out and DO NOT PUT IT IN.
Circuits are fine when in water, it's the corrosion and also when they have an electrical current put through them that the problem arises (when wet).
This WILL be tested when sent back if you call up and claim fault. The quickest way to visually test water damage is simple. Take off the back of your Xperia and at the top, exactly center (right above the camera) you'll see either a red and white chequered square OR a full red square (possibly part red/white but blotchy).
This SHOULD be chequered red and white but with water damage it makes it all red. Simple. No chance you can claim non damage now.
SECOND.
Put the phone in a bowl of rice(uncooked white rice). Now put the bowl of rice in a warm room or cupboard (preferably where your boiler is for your house?) or on top of a heater.
Leave it overnight and if it's on a heater DO NOT TURN THE HEATER OFF. Don't put the battery in the bowl, keep the battery separate and cooler but also make sure to avoid any water areas with it.
You could be lucky (I'll assume you will be but only time will tell) and this could fix it. It's worked on all my previous phones that I've water damaged (funnily enough I've only ever water damaged SEs) and also a few other circuit board based things I've used (one of them being a laptop!).
Please turn your phone off the SECOND you have read this post. Quickest way, battery pull.
Follow all the above steps and you should have a working xperia again.
Last note : if you dont have a heater to place a bowl of rice & xperia on top of, sit your phone in an empty room, turn a hair drier on and lay it next to it on medium heat setting on the lowest speed blowing against the phone. Should work too but make sure u can shut the door (annoying noise..)

thank you so much for your advice. I'll give it a go. I don't have any white rice, just brown, will that make a difference?
Of course I'll go and buy white rice if I need it!
The square at the phone is blotchy.... but mostly red. you can still see slight shades of white though.. is this possible without water damage?
Also from what you've said, I really shouldn't have put the phone to charge. I think I left it charging for ast least 6 hours so now I feel like I've ruined it by doing that..
Thanks again )
Just another update. after almost 5 hours in the rice I inserted the battery and connected it to the charger. There was an improvement from before in that the phone turned on and stayed on, ALTHOUGH th screen was flickering, and it really wasn't responding very well - I couldn't actually unlock the device.
There's a visible different in the water movement though, in that there seemed to be some spread around the whole screen initially, and now it's in a small part of the bottom of the screen.
Any tips?
Also, could someone clarify whether Vodafone would class it as water damaged?

well you dropped it in water and now its damaged, that seems like text book water damage to me =/

Waiting 7 hours is not long enough...
Rice can only absorb moisture at a certain rate.
You should have wait much longer..
No offense, but your phone is toast. Rule number one is to NEVER turn on a water damaged device for at least a day after the incident. The phone was probably fine until you plugged it in.
You'll have to be on the hook for a new one. Your phone was water damaged and will not be covered under warranty.
Also, your grammar needs improvement. I found it really difficult to follow what you were writing because it made little sense.
Stop playing with it and leave it in the rice another day.
Then pray

1. Diasassemble the Phone and put the PCB for 24hrs in 99% Isopropyle Alcohol. Not 50%, not 70% --> 99%.
2. Then take it out and let it dry for 48hrs.
3. Now reflash it (the SW is/may be corrupted).
I reanimated 80% of 200 Water-, Beer-, Pool-, Toilet-, and so on damaged Phones I repaired in the past...
Hey tuffy, sorry for the absence was at work till 10 last night then went straight to sleep lol.
I was going to give you similar advice to McKebapp however I thought the easiest option would be to give you common-to-find objects and make it easier as actually locating 99% Isopropyle is next to impossible unless you know exactly what it is!
Anyways, brown is fine - rice is rice it still takes in water. Only issue is it takes boiled water in at a rate almost 150 times faster than luke-warm or cold (which is what the water inside your phone will be).
If at all possible, do what McKebbap said but maybe avoid putting the PCB in alcohol, stick to the rice as it's bone dry and although, theoretically, so is the alcohol it'll be easier than trying to clean it all off afterwards.
If you can't dismantle it down (basically we need as much air-space between the PCB and well.. the air/rice!) then just put it back in fresh rice and leave it with the back off and battery out for another 24 hours or so, again in a warm area (needs to be warm for the water to rise).
Please, DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON WITHIN THIS TIME. Personally i'd actually be quite inclined to leave it for about 3 days but changing the rice (or mixing it) each day.
Good luck mate.
Oh and to answer your question : it's not possible for it to become blotchy or anything other than just squares of red/white without water buddy. it's designed for phone companies to , at a quick glance, check water damage cause guess what, besides dropping the phone, is the most common return reason ;-)

Each Pharmacy should have it for sale.
They maybe ask for what you'll use it.
Simply tell them the truth (cleaning electronics) or say, you'll need it to clean guitar strings from colophony.
Then everything should be fine.
So what happened? How's the phone?

Mine r520m works fine except bluetooth. In 2006 Ericsson didn't support this model anymore, so I switched to k790a that works fine for now. Even now with 3.2 Mp camera it does better job in dark sets, than X10. When I read specs I was surprised that they didn't use xenon flash. It is a kind of a bad joke for flagship model.
Returning to water damage - it is enough just to leave a phone for a week in regular room environment. Of course, I mean average environment, not like in rain season somewhere in rainforest. Alcohol (any kind - regular ethanol or isopropyl) absorbs water, but dries faster, than water, so this bath just significantly reduces water concentration. By the way, don't try to find 99% of consumer ethanol - it doesn't exist. 96% is the best (190 proof in the US or 175 degrees proof in UK). For isopropyl regular distillation gives 87.9% max. Azeotropic distillation produces higher percentage for both these spirits, but I doubt you can find it in regular stores. Closed areas, where water was suck in remain problematic. Moreover, when water finally dries out, it leaves mineral salts. It is not a big deal at circuit plates since those salts are electric safe (except sea water salts), but in clear areas like between screen layers they will be visible.
And again - if you want to kill any electronics most effective way, turn it on when it is wet. If you want to save it - be patient.
Hopefully this will help some poor schmucks that manage to do the #3 in the toilet (common enough so I call it #3).
If there is ****, just let go man, really.
If there is piss, likely more damage has been done so chances of recovery are slimmer (salty water is more conductive).
If clean water then likely the phone will work but some hardware might not survive (like the camera, ....)
In any case, remove the battery IMMEDIATELY!
Wipe battery dry. Leave alone and forget about it for 3-4 days.
Shake out as much water as possible out of the phone and let it dry for a week. You can safely use a hair dryer to warm it up to speed the evaporation. Do it twice a day.
If you want, dunk the phone in 99% rubbing alcohol for 10-20 seconds, swish it around. Take it out and forget you had a phone for 3-4 of days.
I never dropped one into the loo but I did go swimming with two phones and both survived (mostly).
Hi there,
I've got a problem with the camera flash LED for a few days : it is always on !
Even when I power down the phone, the LED is glowing with low intensity.
Only when I remove the battery is the LED off... And as soon as I put the battery in place the LED is on again.
I'm afraid this will kill my autonmy
Does anyone has already had this behavior ?
Any ideas on what could cause this ?
The phone is a i9100G with samsung ICS 4.0.2 ...
thanks for any response

I turned the phone on/off
Took the battery off
Installed a couple of software which claimed to manage the camera flash
I hard reset the phone
Flashed 4.0.4 rom instead of 2.3.6 it originally had
I wouldn't post here if I had not made extensive search beforehand.
It doesn't look like a software problem, I read somewhere that it might have happened because of humidity...
No luck with this issue.
It must be hardware related since even when the phone is turned off, the LED shines as soon as you put battery in place.
Humidity might be a cause, or a very minor hardware defect that causes some power to leak onto the wrong circuit, since LEDs consume very little power.
Maybe we should try to drown our phone inside a sack of salt or rice to dry it out ?

Hmm.. Yeah sack of rice would be a good idea to get the phone completely dry, but salt no.. Because it increases conductivity with water and people are again prone to get into humid wet situations and increased conductivity within phone circuitry = phone going KABOOM, well that's an exaggeration anyway a lot more salt will remain in your phone than rice.. duh! SO using salt can be a lil damaging(or sometimes a lot-what if you dropped your salt dried phone in a puddle or something... :-\ yeah you can be sure about having fried motherboard for breakfast).

Yep. Humidity might have damaged something & it's causing a short or similar.
Salt ??!! Do a Google Images search for 'salt corroded metal' & you'll understand why that's not a good idea
Rice, for a week. And no using the phone at all during that time. Not even to boot it for a minute. Take the battery out, put it in, bury it & leave it.
Hello everyone , sory if someone else posted a similar thread but i am a bit disparate. :crying:
I brought the phone in the pool , after a few foto made under water i noticed condensed water in my fotocamera (back). I didn't turn it off , and the phone has continued to work for other 6 hours. During those 6 hours i traied to make some 4k videos to make him hotter enough for vaporize the camera's condensed water. After almos 6 hours i found the telefon in my pocket shut down by himself and i repeatedly traied to turn it on , but just didn't response. I put it in the rice for almost 6 hourse and still no response from the opening button. I traied to press volume up + down + power button and i heard a vibration, but no response from the screen neither from the notification led. Alse the pc connection with the usb cable don't work.
1) I want to know if i can take out the wather from the camere in some way.
2) I heard a about xperia z2 water sensor that turn red when the water enter from the flops , can some one tell me if this is true and where are those sensors?
3) I still have the waranity if i rooted maintening the bootloader closed? i also saved the key of the bootloader
4) if the water entered from the camera or anywere else but not from the flops i still have the wranity?
5) is there any way to resurrect it?
6) if my wranity is void , does it make sense if i open it manualy and i dry it with rice from inside?
I wanted to put some photos but i can't just spam around

Do not try to boot it or charge it.Leave it in rise for 48h as my colleague said.Than try to boot / charge.
I took mine in the ocean (I know, but I did), and went snorkeling (I know, but I did) and went deeper than 5 meters (I know, but I did). I then found condensation in the camera lens and was worried. The phone didn't shut off and functioned normally, just the camera had condensation.
After about 2 days before I got home from my snorkeling trip, I put it in a bag of rice for about 36 hours. Now condensation is gone and camera is fine.

I had similar experience with my Z.
It didnt respond at all when off charging but when charging it just went straigt into fastboot mode. I could wipe the phone and factory reset it but not get past fastboot mode.
I had it in rice for daaays to no avail then suddenly, after leaving it on the table for a week, it booted. Worked ok for some days but then it mysteriously went into this coma again and then i bought the Z2.
So yeah, I also figured there was no way it was gonna return but it did.. So weird!
I'm not taking this phone near water, though. Watertight, my arse!
EDIT: BTW, you should avoid connecting it to power, mate.

after 48 hours the phone still don't respond to powering up nether charging.
if i leave it in the rice to absorb all the moisture , is there any chance to have it repaired free by the warranty if i don't say nothing about the water, just say that i think it's a battery fault?:angel:
i can say it's my father phone and does not boot nether charge no more

But there's a good chance, I guess? I mean, if the flaps were closed then just explain to them what happened, it's not your fault.

Well I was cleaning up my case but the phone fell into the water like for one second, took it out and dried it as much as I could but the moment I tried to turn it on it wouldn't work. It shows the OnePlus logo and starts the bootanimation but then just random colors and restarts.
Could it be the water or did something got messed up?
When it falls on the water, you have to open it
Unplug the baterry and dry it quickly
Never power it on !
Now, I think it's gone...
You can try to put in in a rice bag for a week, and wait for a miracle... Maybe with Hallowwen, it will come back from the deaths.

Thanks m8, I'm looking for options on how to fix it since it's my daily driver. Do you recommend trying to take it to a phone repair shop and see if drying it and checking for bad connections, is a good option? @Kéno40
Edit: I forgot to specify that the amount of water that touched the phone was minimal, I unintentionally explained it wrong so it could be understood but the water that it got was from the faucet, very minimal so it's still a mystery why it won't work. Before it has even gotten more water due to rain.
Don't think this is a good sign, right? :/

Has anyone had an issue with it over heating? Seems like if I play say 3 or so matches in Call of Duty it over heats, had some lock ups and crashes when it's gotten warm as well.
I use all the max settings on Call of Duty, I do know what you mean about it being a bit warm, but I don't mind. Recently though, it keeps booting me out whenever I join a match. It takes about 30 seconds but it just closes.
I haven't had an issue with it dropping out of matches. It could be your network, I had a duraforce on verizon once that would do that. The heat related things <i have seen when it is warm above say 85F. Just one of those things to mention so everyone can watch it. Like you getting booted from cod we need to watch things like that as well.
Try clearing the system cache.
Network reset.
Clear sim card tool kit data.

Try clearing it's cache.
Check to see it has all the permissions it needs.
Did you disable something it is a dependency to?
It likely needs Google play Services (clear data) and Playstore to be active. If updating related system apps didn't help, try going back to their factory load versions.
Try unistalling and reloading it.

Ok that is similar to some of what happens to me. Is your phone in a case? It seems like on mine at least it gets super hot under the camera on both the back and screen side. I would assume that is where the radio is and I play on cell.....

Don't game or have this phone.
Just giving you general troubleshooting steps.
Look at a tear down to see what chipset or heatsink is there.
A poor signal connection, bad sim card, misconfigured Mobile Access Points... it could a lot of things or maybe it's just that game that's not running right.
Try it on a good wifi network maybe, see what it does.
Fortunately it's not a critical app... although it may seem so now.
Note, you can hold it in a damp microfiber cloth to cool it down especially if the relative humidity is low. Phones is cases will run warmer but ones without cases tend to die sooner.

Try clearing it's cache.
Check to see it has all the permissions it needs.
Did you disable something it is a dependency to?
It likely needs Google play Services (clear data) and Playstore to be active. If updating related system apps didn't help, try going back to their factory load versions.
Try unistalling and reloading it.

I've done all those steps. I'll just wait for an update, that usually fixes everything.
Yeah I've done the general cleaning everything up, even deleted everything and it still does it. More of a post to say watch out this could happen. Played it on wifi and same thing. <It's not a critical app I agree however it is one that stresses various functions of the phone which later could affect critical apps.

Maybe Gaming Mode kicks something into overdrive that it shouldn't? Maybe when we get our first patch update we'll get a fix.
Very possible we could. I am more curious what the smart people will find when we get them unlocked and they start poking at them....
My N200 is overheating in the south Louisiana summer...I am far from a gamer and yesterday it was annoying me to cool it off. Yes, I know, N200, the heat index was 117 yesterday. I get it, its hot. Put it in front of the car's AC vent to cool it down.
And now, the battery wont charge to 100 percent.
After years with Samsung and Moto, and Apple, I decided to give One Plus a try. Should have stayed with Samsung.
Meh, least it was free. YMMV
Yeah same here in South Carolina. When mine got to the point of over heating and wouldn't charge back to 100 I turned it off, stuck it in the freezer for a couple of hours then plugged it in. Said something about doing an optimized charge and now it charges back to 100.

I don't think charging to 100% all the time is advisable and
putting it in the freezer sounds like a really bad idea to me especially after it has been out in the heat and humidity you are just asking to have water damage to your phone , maybe since it is so new and the condensation is pure water like distilled water you had no trouble but if there had been dust in there and it mixed with the condensation you might have had a problem and I bet you have voided your warranty , I bet the moisture strip has already turned pink
I have had phones that had no exposure to water or steam go pink on me those things are VERY sensitive

Yes the moisture could be a problem, guess I should have clarified it a bit..... I have a esd bag with dessicant in it that I threw it in. Also it has a optimised charging doohicky that won't charge it to 100% unless it's ready. That is where the won't charge all the way comes from. It sees the battery is too hot and it wont charge all the way because it will effect the battery life.
