My N1 has a constant red led in the notification. It doesn't go away. What does this mean and how can it be fixed?

As i recall that means that it has some sort of water detected in the phone, I would pull the battery, and leave it in a warm dry place for 24-48 hours. If that doesn't work put it in a jar filled with uncooked rice.
Thanks for the post.

Hello all.
I have a Cricket Kyocera Zio M600 phone and it fell into water today, I immediately took it out, wiped it down and did the stupid thing that you're NOT supposed to do after a phone gets wet and turned it back on and it was working fine for about 4 hours. My buttons started acting up on me so I turned the phone off however, when I turn it back on it automatically goes to a black screen and says "FOTA update modem...0............................100%" and flashes on and off with that same message. Is the phone broke or is there something I can do to fix it?
I recommend running the leaked cricket Zio 2.2.1 windows updater.

yes, but before doing that pull the battery and let the phone dry out for 48 hours, from what you described it seems like the water inside of it may be shorting out the buttons and is causing it to go into Modem download mode.
Yeah, definitely let that thing dry... get a Ziploc bag and put your phone in there with enough rice so that the phone is buried in the rice. It will draw most of the moisture out of the phone within about a day.

I recommend using silica crystals, it's used as the good kinds of kitty litter (think PetCo), and the same exact sold at high-end phone stores for exactly this kind of thing, albiet for 5x more.

Did you let it dry out either in in a bag with some rice or with desiccant? Works quite well.
Otherwise, I have put the oven on low and put it in there (on something) or in a dehydrator. Just be sure to remove the battery first.
If there's any moisture still in it, it likely is shorting it out.
Are the water stickers red? You could always warranty it if not.

hello everyone
today i used my mobile under water after i was sure that all the flaps are closed
anyway the water got into the charging flap and the sticker is red now also i got some water on the camera lines both the back and the front i tried to dry it with hair dryer but no use also the light sensor is not working anymore
help please :crying:
sony z and the water wasn't deep but it was little cold
Turn it off straight away, then put it in a sealed bag with some dry rice with all the flaps open for at least a week.
Do not turn it on again or connect it to power or USB until that has been done.
If you're lucky, this will dry the phone out and you won't have damaged anything.

So I four d a sprint HTC one in the woods did the whole rice in a bass trick to get the water out. After I got all the water out I plugged the phone in to charge it as soon as I do that the phone vibrates non stop even with the screen off

If u found it in the woods wet then chances are it's fried already since it was wet for along time and I'm sure more than water went in damaging the circuits.

FILE 13!
My alarm went off as usual tismorning and as soon as I went to swipe it off, the screen cracked right where I touched. I instantly noticed the phone was incredibly hot, honestly like fire hot; the screen seemed softer than normal. The crack was more internal than external, but the phone still functioned normally. I've experienced hot phones but nothing like this before. I couldn't stand having a brand new phone with a crack.
I took it to the AT&T store right away and even though it's been more than 15 days they replaced it in store without a problem and claimed it was a manafactuar defect. They also replaced my charger wire, as that could have been the problem as well.
Has anyone else experienced overheating on this device? I love this phone but that's just ridiculous.

On my first phone, it'd incredibly hot, the battery would only last about 5 hours with light usage. The right side of the screen popped up from the bezel. Did AT&T email you a survey about why you replaced the phone? They sent me one after I did the exchange it was focused on issues with the phone.

I haven't gotten a survey or anything yet, but I assume I will.

I configured corporate email to connect to my work email server and my phone would only last about 5 hours with light usage. It got very warm but not as hot as you described. After I turned email sync off, both issues went away.
