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.

Just thought i would share a really hopefull story... my sister had a samsung jack windows mobile phone... she went swimming for 10 min before she realized it was in her pocket... hadnt taken it apart or turned it off or anything... got home and everything minus two keyboard buttons was functional... you could see water sloshing back and forth in the screen and it was fine... finally put it in rice and it dried out and still worked fine... another friend uses it now.... haha... there is still hope.. haha

Is that by design? Maybe just bad design? Or is it just my phone?
I feel like mine is loose too. Always coming off randomly. A case should fix that problem though.

It is a bad design. One side squeaks when I press it and it is too easy to knock off without a case.

The back on mine seems fine. Does have a squeak on one side, but stays firmly in place.
Mine 1st vivid felt a little loose....I just tweaked the tabs on the cover til it felt solid. Worked good, just be careful not to
Break them.

I have noticed recent shipped models have had the metal hooks slightly bent inward it does seem to have a more snug fit

Yea way to loose.My otterbox commuter fixed my problem.No more worries about losing the battery cover.
It's kind of loose, but when mine gets loose I just pull the cover off and put it back and its tight for another three hours or so.

I think the battery cover issue was resolved. My replacement units battery cover had thicker clamp tabs, doesn't squeak of make my phone feel like a cheap knockoff.

Yeah. I am not encountering either one of those problems. I also got the Seidio Active case on mine now.

Mine Vol- squeeks a little. As far as the battery cover goes I don't feel as though it's too loose. It requires an acceptable amount of force to slide it off, and clicks securely back in place
I lost my back cover for a day, found it in my car, I took it off my car Holder and when I took it off, it fell under the seat. I immediately went out and bought a cheap back cover.

Ditto here.
Just bend the metal tabs of the metal cover up so they are tighter against the plastic housing of the phone. I did this too and the problem is solved. Only need to bend them about 1-2 mm.

IIRC, HTC's policy is that they will send you one free replacement.

cover loose
Funny for HTC to go through the trouble of making a sturdy looking metal cover to have it function like a cheap peice of plastic. Doesn't matter how light the fall, the back come's off my raider. It appears if you tweak the side tabs on the cover you'll get a tighter fit, don't break them though. I haven't tried that yet, however.
Remember there was some drop test for this in one of the reviews out there. When dropped heads down, the lid comes off even it's dripped 3inches.
Still like this better than Samsung plastic backs that start warping and squeaking after some taking off and snapping back.

That is good to kow
I dropped my phone enough that all the tabs are bent slightly outward. Now it seems pretty tight. Problem solved

I was messing around with my Revolution before I get rid of it and I found what I believe to be are jumpers on the back of the phone on the bottom left. I took the back case off, removed a small rubber piece maybe an inch above the bottom left, and there were four prongs that look like jumpers. I may be wrong.
Anyone have any idea if they're not jumpers what they are? And is there anything I can do with them?
I do believe that those are for the wireless charger back accessory ( LGVS910-WLDR) but I could be wrong

You're correct. And as an aside, I'm now hooked on wireless charging of my Revo.
I ordered, but hasn't been sent yet. I didn't see another topic on this thread for this item. Hopefully it is produced. It looks really nice and I'm intrigued by how it plans to hold device to the charger. The g2 with the smooth back should hold nicely.

seems to be another crowd source funded project. They have a long ways to go before meeting their goal to start production.

Looks nice though. hope they'll succeed.
Yeah, I have a feeling of it does make it to production, the metal base probably will not. It'll still be pretty nice with a plastic base.

How is the magnet supposed to keep the phone on the charging pad without damaging the internal memory? I always thought magnets + storage = bad news.
Ryoma1337, that dates back to hard disk drives, solid state memory is not effected by magnets.

I was kind of hoping that since Amazon has it listed, somehow it held a little credibility.

To be honest, this just seems too good to be true. But if it is true, it definitely got my money. I just find it skeptical that a magnet can hold the phone on with no problems with all the vibrations and such a car has.
I got in on the air dock campaign. Looks promising. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-air-dock

Ryoma1337, You would be surprised. On my gnex I installed the palm touchstone coil and 10 1/8x1/32 inch rare earth magnets inside the battery cover and it was perfect. Never had a single instance of the phone falling off touchstone base. I could hold upside down and gently shake and it wouldn't budge. I wish the touchstone was qi so I could use it on the g2.

I saw these were supposed to be shipping in April, have you received one yet?
Received mine about a month ago. Love it. Removing the phone can b kinda tricky the sticky pad really sticks well. There's also a magnet built into it.

Thanks, I just got a G2, looking for a dock for it, by chance you could hook us up with some pics when you get a chance?
Is your g2 a Verizon version? Yeah I can.

After using this phone.. Has anyone tried looking at a flat phone and see the corners bending backwards? I know they're not but the flex has made my eyes seem like the corner of other phones look like they're bending away from me.

Omg I thought it was just me! For a while, every time I used my Nexus 4 it looked bent to the back until my eyes got used to it. With a case on the Flex, (or at least my case) the curve is less prominent so it helps if you switch to a flat phone every now and then.

I noticed this with my wife's new phone and tried to explain it. She cared about as much as you'd expect... which is not at all. It is significant though. It really messes with your eyes.

I sold my Nexus 7 since I wasn't using it and just prefer one device. Maybe I'll pick up my wife's HTC One and see.

I haven't noticed the bending backwards, but when I picked up my wife's iPhone 5s, I couldn't believe how small it is! I was afraid I was going to break it. Pictures looked bad, because they were so small, items were hard to click on, it was horrible!
Heck try using a iPhone 4 it blew my mind almost thought it was fake cause it was so small.but any phone I look at not beside the flex seems to look like its bending out

I told this to my friend when I was using his note 2. The corners look like they're bending out and theres a ball in the center. So weird. kind of like convex and our phones are concave
