Hi guys,
I dropped my moto E in water last night and took it out in a second or two. The phone was working fine. I didn't bother to turn off and dry since I had seen various videos of the moto e in water for minutes and assume a couple of second wouldn't have done any damage. This morning the touch stopped responding on all areas of the screen and when I try to turn off the phone it turns off and then starts booting up on its own.
Any help/suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Try to put the phone in rice for 24 or more hours, then try to turn on..

I have an O2 XDA Mini S which has been working pretty well up until recently when I kept noticing that whenever I got my phone out of my pocket, it had turned off even though it was in a locked state - thus meaning I hadn't inadvertently pressed the power switch.
At first I assumed it was a problem with the battery but I have just noticed that as I dropped my phone onto the desk it turned off. I have just repeated this half a dozen times and every time I drop it onto my desk from around 6" the phone turns off. If I knock the side of the phone with my knuckle it will also turn off.
The battery is fully charged and the contacts all look good and clean. What is the most likely suspect part for me to start twiddling with to try and overcome this problem?
Hi,
i have a idiotic problem with my Touch HD. A couple a days ago some friend of mine spilled beer on the table and the back case of my HTC got wet (i desperately wiped it with a napkin). When i left the bar i wanted to call someone. Pressed as usual the on/off (standby) button to wake it up but nothing happened. So i removed the battery and i allowed it to dry overnight. Woke up and i tried to start it up...nothing. I plugged it up to the charger...nothing it's not even charging.
There is one thing happeneing though...if i keep the on/off button pressed for about 30 seconds, the phone will vibrate once ( like if it's starting) but the screen remains completely black.
I guess that the insides of the phone should be completely dry by now...
Please give me some advice
Thanks in advance.
Hi all, just thought I'd share with you my my recent good luck. After swimming in a pool for about ten minutes whilst on holiday, I suddenly remembered my razr i was still in my pocket. When I realised and pulled it out it had gone off. After trying without success to turn it back on I thought that was the end of the phone. When I returned home 4 days later, I thought I would try again. It still wouldn't turn on but I decided to see what would happen if I put it on charge. The green led flickered for a few seconds and then the battery icon appeared. I left it for a few more minutes, and success! It has been 5 days now and it is working perfectly with no loss of any data. A big relief.

That was lucky.:good:
Normally if you try and turn a phone on after a dunking it's fried.
The best thing I have heard, though I have not tried it is.
After a dunk DO NOT press any buttons.
Put the phone in a bag of dry rice and leave it on a radiator or in a warm place for 5 days.
Then try the phone and keep your fingers crossed.
Hi everyone,
a friend of mine's Nexus 4 has this strange behavior.
It went into water for about 1 second: unfortunately, she was working far from home and needed to keep the phone on for working reasons, I know and told her that the best would have been to switch it off and put in a bag of rice.
In any case, after few minutes where she was not able to listen to the people speaking, and the same on the other side (she was not listened), she kept the phone in a pocket and under the sun, and suddenly everything went fine: probably some water in the audio jack made the phone think the earplugs were plugged, and then this was fixed.
In the rest of the day everything was working, and we thought that, thanks to the hot day and the phone under the sun, the humidity has dried up.
At night when she came back home, she switched the phone off and put in the rice for the night.
The day after, she tried to switch the phone on, and nothing happend.
Screen black, no signals.
After reading something on the internet, she plugged the charger, and kept power+volume down buttons pushed: after some time, the red light appears, just one fast blink and then dark again.
So, we ordered a replacement battery (I have already substituted a Nexus 4 battery of another friend of mine), which arrived yesterday. I proceeded with the substitution, everything went fine (and I noticed that the internal water detectors are still perfect white, only the one in the sim tray is pink), but when I plugged the usb charger, again nothing happened. This time, holding power+volume down made the red light appear and stay solid, no blinking, no disappearing, until I unplug the phone, at that moment it disappears.
I let her charge the phone for the whole night, but still the same issue this morning.
What can the problem be?
It sounds strange to me that at first the phone worked and then it stopped at the first switch off (and I think that she powered off and on the phone right after the incident, and was still working) :-\
And I'm not able to understand the red light behavior...can someone help please?
Many many thanks :-[
Hello Everyone!
Let me start by saying last week i dropped my N4 in water, but managed to shut it off before anything was broken. I immediately put the phone in rice and left for 3 days. So on the third day i took the device out of the rice and attempted to turn it on, no luck. I ordered a new battery and managed to tear down the phone and clean off all of the corrosion with 99.9% Isopropanol alcohol. I installed the new battery and re-assembled the phone and everything was working great for two days. So the third day of the new battery, I left the phone on charge overnight before I went to school, and i was playing a game, my phone was on 80% battery still when a window popped up telling me the device was powering off. I thought this was a one off and attempted to turn my phone on again, however the second my device booted and got to the lock screen it powered down again. Any help? My theory is that the phone battery software is not in sync with the hardware. I.E when the phone is at 80% battery the phone thinks it is infact at 0. I got my phone to turn on the other day for a few minutes and it displayed it was at 0% charge, however when i tried to boot up the phone before that it said it had 50%? any help would be greatly appreciated! thankyou for your time!
