Well sometimes I leave my phone by the sink while I shower, uncovered, and I was wondering if it's bad to do that. Could the steam mess up the internal parts or anything?
I have had a problem with the white sticker turning red, meaning water damage same thing.. But no real problems with the phone afterwards, however that voids warranty. :-\ so cover it up, or just leave it somewhere else up to u.

If the moisture (steam) gets to that sticker it will void the known warranty.
Where is the sticker btw? I actually just checked T-Mobile's extended monthly warranty(which I have), and I guess water damage is covered, so I guess this isn't needed anymore.
Well just to be safe. It's back of the phone when you take out the battery is believe.

I jest. I sell wireless for a living and sometimes you get those that come in and ask for the "4G". You ask which one and they look at you like you're an idiot. I then proceed to tell them it's only a type of phone and that there are many 4G phones. Same concept maybe.

All I see is a small, black, circular sticker that says void? Maybe it changes with different gens of the phone?
It is white on bottom right corner of the cutout where the battery fits in think.

Wow! Very nice! The springs seem to not be available right now. I also have a little fear of disassembling my phone.. The last time I did it, it was on a Sony Ericsson k800i, I ended up break the power button off without even knowing it until there was no feel in the power button when I tried to turn it in.

word of thought: if everything still functions, there's nothing to worry. after all, worrying too much and making every little thing matter often leads to breaking your devices. leave it as it is if it's not causing trouble.

I thought that button is the last step after turning your phone into airplane via Airplane mode. I'll try now and let you know.
Edit: Tried it, and... left wing came out, and then I heard scream and green juice flew out of phone... guess it was too much for the little Android inside...

Sounds like it might be hardware damage. Did you check and see if the battery has a proper connection. Does it turn on and off by itself or only when you move it?
only when i trow it let say in a table a bit hard but if i just lay it it wont
If you throw your sensitive electronic device at a table, it shuts off? Stop throwing your phone.
Sounds like a loose battery or bad power connection somewhere.

Mine does the same thing when I drop my phone on my bed... It is caused by a little play between the battery and the battery cover. Apiece of paper folded and cut to the size of the battery and placed between the battery and cover has done the trick for me, and I believe it is just because of wear on the battery cover from pulling it too often...

If Duct Tape can't fix something (anything!) it's either damaged far beyond any hope for repair, or it wasn't really broke in the first place.
There's not a lot of middle ground.
Well phrased, and I'm glad that when my phone fell off the bathroom counter and bounced screen first off the hardwood floor, there wasn't a sign it had ever moved, aside from some dirt on the screen
