[Q] My IS has been wet. What now? - HTC Incredible S

My device has been wet by me around one month ago. It seems to be running as it should but I still wonder if may have wrecked something up. If this happened to you please tell your experience.

If it dried properly you should be fine.

Put it in a bowl of uncooked rice,the rice will hopefully draw out the water, works with most phones surprisingly not sure bout smart phones tho but surely worth a try....

I see you didn't understand. It has been one month and it seems to be running all ok so my question is if in near future it would be dead or not?!

If its working good now chances it will b all ok but maybe rust could form in da future which will cause it to prob fail, hopefully that answered ur question !!!

It's not going to rust if it's already dry.

Mine went for a swim in my waterproofs pocket 9 months ago riding to work in a storm!! Initially there were a few screen display issues but after sitting it in a dry warm place for half a day I've had no problems at all.

Moisture can rust the metal! (off topic)

i think, if you break something, you would already know about it.

It could take years to see the change but you will probably see it. About half a year I somehow got some Sprite trough my jack plug (don't ask) in my IncS and some day the battery started messing around. But besides that it still works

It's been already over a year and I'm quite satisfied with build quality of this phone.

From HTC Care

Hello Friends... I saw many people having this problem with their phones... The problem was battery charging stuck when it reaches x% (x might be 85 or 87 or 90 whatever mine is 87%). I tried bump charging, tried to calibrate battery several times, etc etc but nothing works... So i decided to take help of HTC Care and i get back to stock and i take my phone to htc... they registered my complaint... The Engineer named this problem as Battery Not Charging Physically... They kept my phone for a week.. after 2-3 days a call came from HTC to tell exact repairing amount of phone... According to HTC Engineers the problem is with motherboard and it costs 8590 INR... So i didn't repaired my phone...So there is no worth to repair phone...and say Bye bye to Green LED... lolzz... If any one solved this problem on there own then plz share ua exp so others can solved them too... Thank You..

Have you tried with another battery? Because they have a chip that prevents overcharge. Maybe this has a defect.

In addition to the issue you mentioned about battery not charging beyond a certain percentage, did the battery also drain faster?
I have the x% issue and the battery drains fast adding to the woes

New HTC Ones

Does anyone know when HTC will ship new batches of the One? The defects (gap and raised screen) will probably be fixed by the time the 2-3 batches are released so does anyone know when they will be shipped? I upgrade in July and am hoping all these problems are gone by then

I didn't want to take the risk of getting the new Microphone set up they have to do because of the lawsuit with Nokia and the company that makes the mics for the one..
But there was word about ramping up production double in May

Sometimes they have gaps between the plastic and the aluminum, is it a huge deal? No. My girlfriend's one has a small gap but she doesn't care because she has a case on it anyway.

To root or not to root

Well I've been a good boy since I have had my one well all of 2 days. I am fairly curious about the rooting possibilities and what types of tons are out there to try.
I have always rooted every Android phone straight out of the box but decided not to with this one. I'm enjoying the stock feel Bart life is really good haven't run out of batt in 24 hours YET.
Since I'm new to HTC devices any tips from you guys before I **** up and brick it lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It's safe to root right away, maybe give it a day or two more to see if it has hardware defects.
This is a hard phone to brick in my opinion.

Adhesive melted off?

So I was using my HTC One M8 tonight. It got warm like usual. Then I started noticing something sticky on the back. I wiped it off and noticed the "T" from the HTC logo had come off. Followed by the "C". Anyone else had this happen?
At least the letters are made of metal too lol.

They're actually very precisely cut pieces of thin metal. Either way, I fixed it. Like it never happened.

Well I lost the "T".
Not sure how to fix, but its bugging me to no end.
Its a small thing, but after having issues with 2 Evo 3D I swore off HTC. I've had 7 devices since then with no issues. Decided the M8 was great and gave HTC another try. Guess this is what I get.
I know other devices have issues as well. For $600+ I would figure that proper glue could be used.
Last HTC device.
