I dropped my phone in the ocean for like solid 5~10 min and after a few hours of retrieving it the phone could not recognize my sim.after a while the phone start booting till the lg logo and rebooting over and over for few hours till it stopped.and i started to use it normally with sound working but suddenly it rebooted and the sound is entirely gone even if i connect it to headphone it will not give me any sound but the phone woks perfectly except the sound,SIM and the sudden reboot here and there . (so i think the sound is software since it stopped after the reboot?). is there any solution to my phone i really cant use the phone without the sim and sound
sorry for the poor english
Clean out the salt with water and let it dry in rice. Sea water is salty and leaves salt in the phone after drying up.

Hi guys,
Not really the place to post this question, but I'm running out of ideas, so here goes...
I managed to drop my HTC magic in the toilet (whilst I was doing a wee).
I immediately pulled the phone apart, dried it with paper towels, sprayed the entire phone down with R70 Revive-IT (a spray for water damaged electronics), then left it to dry in front of the heater.
The phone is dried out, working ok...but when it starts it gets no service. Every few minutes I get a bar and can make/receive calls, then the service drops out. By drop out I mean completely drop out...i.e. if I try to change GSM settings I get a 'not registered on network' error.
It's not the sim card because the sim is working in my backup Nokia.
Maybe it needs some more time to dry out? It's been 3 days already. It's spent over 5 hours infront of a heater.
Any ideas?
Day b4 yesterday I was on a walk by the riverside with HD2 in pocket.On my attempt to balance on a wood over the mud , I lost balance and fell in to river.It was ~3 feet on the banks.I couldn't first belive that I am face down in to the muddy water (thanks to rain),but then I was quickly pulled up by a friend with me.Then I noticed the phone is not in pocket.Got down in to water again and searched a bit & found it back.Quickly removed battery , SIM , mSD etc..Kept in pocket.At home tried cleaning and left it open on table.After some time connected wall charger and tried booting (I am on Android) It just came up to 123 go and turned off again.The charge indication also didn't appear.I left it on charger whole night.At morning I found it booted to normal screen.But was asking to connect the charger.It didn't hold when removed the charger.I was about to travel back to my workplace.So put in backpack.Next day morning when I reached the other place,I tried again the wall charger - Bingo > it started charging!.Now Every thing is fine except some dark patches on the screen.I will wait and see it anyway....So dont loose hope or think of next phone (I was thinking of SGS2 when in water !) when its HD2 !.(May be I am on better luck here)..
Poor phone dude. Hope it will recover. I dropped my home phone in bathroom too and after few days it recovered.
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 :-[
Hi,
yesterday we've done some sport with music on. My shirt was full sweaty. The phone was all the time under the shirt.
Now I have the problem that the phone cant recognize when the headphones are pluged in or out. The symbol for it is all the time on the notifcation bar. I can hear only through the headphones anymore. Sounds like for the alarmclock are working normaly.
After I arrived at home the phone rebooted about 10 times in a row and had no signal for about 1h. I dont know If there is now the problem because of the sweat..
I tryed to clean the headphone jack but it doenst help. Any suggestions are welcome.
Try powering the phone off for a while and flash a clean install of the rom. It may or may not help. If it's a hardware issue (chances are there), then you may have to get it repaired.
Turn off the phone and put it in a sealed bag with a drying brick or some plain rice to help dry it out. There may be moisture inside the phone that's causing the problem.
Yeah I second audit13, let it dry for a day at least, with some rice.
Hello,
I'm a bit frustrated with A1 being in a constant restart loop. If there is some battery left it just starts, logo is shown and it reboots again. When it runs out of battery only an ambient light flashes.
Buttons ON/OFF and Volume UP/DOWN are not responding.
Is there a solution?
I have found one answer to remove the back cover and reconnect the battery.
Is there a way with flashing a ROM and not losing any data (because the content was not backed up).
Thank you in advance,
Sebastjan
Did it happen after you flashed a rom or update? Can you get to fastboot mode?
Unexplained restart loop
Hello,
Device was not flashed. It is my wife's phone, so I cannot be 100% sure what's happened but I think the phone came in contact with water (not dropped into water, but a bottle leaked in her bag). Then camera stopped working. I have restarted the phone a few (let's say 5) times. Then camera started working again. And then battery ran out and when plugged to charger the restarting story begun.
BR, Sebastjan

Then you have to open up the phone and dry it out. The contacts have shorted out somewhere. If you're lucky, everything should work ok after drying.
