Hi,
I'm having a total nightmare. Over the past few days my handset has been a nightmare. I was out last Saturday, and dropped my phone when it was raining. When I checked the phone it seemed to be OK, but there was some water still on the battery when I woke up and removed the cover on Sunday morning.
The phone seemed to be working OK at the time, but over the week there have been 2 issues.
1. The hardware buttons stop working intermittently. At first, the Call Send and Call End buttons were the wrong way around, but then now they have totally stopped functioning. The volume keys no longer work also. (The standby button on top is fine).
2. Every so often, the phone will go crazy, and its almost as if someone is pressing the buttons. It keeps going into Quick Launch mode and switching to Airplane Mode, and also keeps dialing Voicemail by itself.
I've just ran through the troubleshooting on the T-Mobile site, and it ask "Is the indicator sticker white?" - Mine is red
I am then told I have voided my warranty.
When I got handset, TMOB asked whether I wanted insurance. I said No because I thought I had it through my bank (I pay like £6 per month for my account and one of the advantanges you can choose is mobile phone insurance)
For this reason, I declined to take out the T-Mobile insurance.
This evening, Ive checked my banks insurance page on the website and in the small print is states:
Phones which have a primary use for the making and receiving of telephone calls, SMS text messages and data. We do not cover PDA type devices. Please see the definition of mobile phone/phone in section B of the Policy Document. If you are unsure as to whether your handset can be covered please contact us
Section B:
Mobile Phone/Phone
Your handset and SIM card specifically identified by the IMEI number and mobile phone number. The handset must be your property or responsibility. Your SIM card will not be covered unless it was inserted into the SIM card slot of the phone at the time of the incident.
The handset must be a hand-held electronic device for which its main use is for the making and receiving of telephone calls, SMS text messages and data. We do not cover devices which have Windows Mobile®, Symbian OSTM, or Palm® operating systems or a similar PDA type of interface, whose primary function is of a business nature. The cover of handsets will be at our discretion, and if you are unsure as to whether your handset can be covered please contact us.
Now, its too late to take out the T-Mobile insurance and I am stuck with a handset which doesnt work.
I am fully aware this is my own stupid fault.
I've been trying to check repair websites, but they seem to claim with Water Damage, there is no certainty that they will be able to fix the device, and it might come back in a worse state than it was sent in.
Any advice that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know whether you can pay HTC directly to repair your device? I've tried calling but they are now closed.
HTC does service but they are slow.
Try putting the phone in a zip lock with some white rice, this will dry it out completely.
You have probably damaged the electronics due to using it when it was wet, however I would remove the battery and try to dry it as best you can before putting power back to the unit.
once heard that you can get the red dot back to white with some bleach.
Never tried it though

I heard HTC sued some people for trying that trick. so be careful!
As far as rain/water damage goes...the rice bag trick has worked for me in the past, as well as taking the phone apart and cleaning all the contacts, etc with alcohol.
My phone is in for repair (thankfully under warranty) at the moment, so i'm half feeling your pain.
Good luck!
Thanks Drag-on.
Thanks for the advise guys, will let you know how I get on
If it can start and operate, the device is probably able to be safe. At this moment, the moisture in the electronic board is shorting out. I would start with using a hair drier to dry out the moisture. Hot air it a few minutes and cycle this a few times within an hour should have the moisture removed. Hopefully, there are no residue left behind by the water that is 'conductive'.
For proper cleaning, I think the best is use either alcohol swaps or contact cleaner aerosol to clean the PCB boards, buttons.
Hope it will recover.
my topaz is having similar problems as mentioned by the OP but it didn't get wet ever. however the humidity has been on the higher side for last 2-3 weeks at this place, could that be the reason for this misbehaviour? the h/w keys (except for power button) and volume keys are not working at all as i make this post

Have you tried placing in a bag of rice to draw the moisture out?
Not sure if humidity could cause this but it's worth a try.
Otherwise I would assume worn contact points.
i dont have any idea about "bag of rice" yet so didnt try. but i kept it shut down for the whole night and buttons are working right now. it could def be the moisture problem.
PS: so while trying out this 'bag of rice' thing, should i disassemble the phone first or just i've to keep it as such? and as i said it never got wet, would it be better to just use a hair dryer?

The hair dryer can push the moisture around and cause more damage. Plus if its on heat, that too can damage something.
For the rice, just get a zip lock bag, put the rice in it then place the phone on top and seal the bag. No need to disassemble. The rice will draw the moisture out. I think a few hours would be suficient.
Glad you got it working again.

thanks Bruce, i'll try the Rice method and till then i'll just keep it turned off with no battery inside.
Just a short update about using rice, obviously you will use uncooked rice. Also, if you have or can find the vacumn bags, put the rice and phone and battery in the bag and get as much air out as you. The vacumn will help in pulling the moisture out of the device, and of course the rice absorbs the moisture. I used this trick on a Moto Razr that had been completely under water while on. Powered down, removed battery, rice, phone, battery into ziplock vacumn bag, one day later...perfect condition.
none of the methods mentioned above worked, so i took it to HTC service centre and it turns out that the motherboard has to be replaced which is gonna cost around 160 USD.

Hey guys, need some help here, I was takin a leak while texting and I dropped my phone in lol. Well I tried the soaking in rice trick, it helped, it turns on now but the touch screen and key board don't work. Its really slow and almost unresponsive. the menu talk home back and end buttons seem to barely work. So here's the deal, I need my contacts off the phone. I have some saved to the sim but most were saved to the phone. I can't get to the home screen because I have a lock pattern, and the touch screen doesn't work. I never did that google sync deal so I can't log in and get them from google. What can I do guys? Please help.

Buy a new phone
That's genius good thinking. I don't care about the phone I just need to get the contacts off, does anybody know a way?
If you can ADB into the phone, you may still be able to pull the files off. I don't know how useful they would be on anything but a rooted Android phone though (meaning I don't know how Android stores the contact info.)
Sorry man but what's adb? And its not rooted or modified in any way. I tried using mymobiler but that didn't work either
Install the latest SDK tools here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and to install them' follow these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Ok ill try that tonight when I get home, but am I gonna be able to install that on my phone the way it is? It will boot up to the lock pattern screen but I can't go any farther than that
You don't need to mount your phone or anything
just connect the phone via USB cable to the computer and install the drivers.
The instructions are also on the 2nd link I've given you.
Let it dry then turn on.
Put it in the sun and use a blow dryer to attempt and salvage it...
Sucks man, never had it happen to me but someone very wise told me the above.
pull apart
rinse with rubbing alcohol
let dry
place on aluminum foil
place in oven ~ 200 for 10-20 minutes
let cool
reassemble
power on and hope for the best
Or put in a baggy full of rice.
actually if put it in a bowl (a bag will trap moisture) of wheat or long grain rice (no uncle bens) and let it soak. Its happened to me before and the rice sucks out the moisture everytime. Take phone apart, battery, sdcard sim let it sit in rice for a few days.
Don't watch it though, its worse than watching water boil. Give up on it, and let it surprise you with a Dream.

water had minerals in it that conduct electricity.... and moisture in the air could cause it to conduct and kill the phone even more/all the way. rice will not remove the minerals. alcohol on the other had does, and evaporates. baking it removes the moisture
This worked for me before
It wasn't an android phone but I've dropped a window's mobile phone and it JUST SO HAPPENS to end up right in a cup of juice. Not only that, but I put it in a bowl of water to make sure the circuits didn't get messed up from dried up sugar per advice from someone on google and then took the battery, back sim card, etc out/apart and sat it in front of a fan for a few days. After about the 4th or 5th (I don't remember) it came back on. The screen wasn't "FULLY" functional until a couple of days after that, but you might at least be able to get it on enough to get your info. Hope that helps.....
I'm 99% sure you DID log into Google. If you're not rooted I'm 100% sure you logged into Google. After that contacts auto sync is pretty much automatic to your Google account unless you are a complete idiot and disabled it from settings.
Phones are too complicated for DIY stuff, hardware-wise at least.
When you drop a phone (or any electronic device) in water, the first thing you do is pull out the battery immediately, and all other power inputs, and don't even think about touching the power button, and then take it to a professional repair shop.
Phones contain BGA chips, which is complicated and hard to deal with, the slightest moisture under or in the chip (that's right, inside the chip, read about BGA Baking) might cause disasters, or at least instability, and only professionals trained in the BGA & Phones (not just any pro) field should handle it.

And about the contacts problem, could you give us more info, like SPL version? totally Stock ROM? RC29?
If you get a recovery image on this phone, you can do a BART backup, and restore it on another one, and get your contacts, should work, but I never tried it.
Ok guys this is what I have so far. its been soaking in rice for a while now, but I was an idiot and powered it on right after I got it wet, I also powered it on several times periodically to check on it. I can still turn it on now but like I said keyboard and touch screen are f***ed. I'm using my new g1 so I don't feel like quoting everybody so ill just go like this,
To the guy that gave me the guide on installing the sdk, here's the issues I'm having. I'm unable to even get sdk setup to work. I downloaded the drivers, I put them in the android sdk folder which is on c:/. When I connect my phone even though I uninstalled the driver fot android with deviewer every time I would reconnect it, it automatically reinstalled the android driver as a mass storage device. So I went into the control panel and installed the adb driver manually. Now when I connect it, it pops up as android adb. However sdk setup still doesn't work. When I click setup it flashes a command prompt for a split second and does nothing else. Ill also say my pc is junk and and I can't open cmd or task manager for some reason(virus maybe?) So what am I missing here?
To whoever asked what version and stuff the phone is, I believe its the latest update and I haven't done any soft mods to it, not rooting or anything.
To whoever said something about doing a BART back up and transferring files to my new g1, how do I do that? that's what I really need to do.

before moisture sensitive components (IC/BGA/FBGA/etc) are run through assembly those components are brought up to 125c (257f) for 4 hours to drive the moisture out. then they are place on the PBC with the pick and place after they get the solder mask. then placed into the soldering oven.

maybe its just the way you wrote it... but you know the rice should be dry.......
Stop powering it on. you will need to wait several days
Maybe I should try the alcohol thing? I did drop it in a toilet full of dank piss bowl cleaner. I just don't want to take a risk of frying it if something messes up before I get the files off
I cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. I just washed my att samsung captivate. I let it dry out for a bit and started it up. It worked fine for quite a while then the touch screen stopped responding so i removed the battery.
When i turned it back on, it remained at the white screen with blue AT&T World phone until i removed the battery again. It continues to do this currently.
I have "reflashed" the firmware (atleast i think i have) back to its stock through the odin3 installer program. I'm not sure how important that is but the phone seems to communicate with the computer through usb.
I cannot do a hard reset kind of thing as holding the volume down and power button at the same time will not take me any further than the white w/blue text screen.
have i fried my phone? is there something i can do to get it to jump past the white and blue text screen?
thanks for any help.
Once a phone is wet u need to get a new one its never gonna work again.

washing technique
I threw the phone in with a load of bed sheets.
Of course this wasn't done on purpose. It didn't get fully "washed" per se but only a bit wet. I'm not proud that I did this but what's done is done.
Lets pretend it had never been wet, is there anything that could cause it to stick at the att screen?
I was able to run the odin3 flash program without a hitch. Seems like the phone still is somehow able to work but just not get past the normal boot of the white w/blue text att screen. Any ideas???
If there are no possible fixes or all that's left are comments regarding my ignorance-- how would att know it has been wet. I know my ipod touch sat out in the rain for a bit and apple replaced it no questions asked since the earphone port thing showed no discoloration.
In the battery compartment there is a white square and on the battery another white square. are those the pieces that change color when wet? litmus paper i think? If so they are still white. Do these identify a "wet" phone?
The phone looks the same as it always has, no water behind the screen/camera lense or anything. I had a rubber case on it but the usb door was open.
How's my 1 year mysteriously broken phone warranty looking?
Those white parts would look red if wet ,is it red? I have tmobile for ,me if those parts are red I have to deal with my insurance, do u have insurance? Either then that u got to see wat att can do for u sorry I tried...

you can't pretend the phone was never wet.
If you get a phone wet - you need to pull the battery and put the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out (maybe for 2 days). Since you have turned it on many times, and tried to flash it, you have created all kinds of short circuits across the circuit boards.
At this point your only recourse would be to strip the phone down and look for corrosion on the circuit boards and try to clean it, but most likely you have fried something.
Only AT&T can tell you what they will do when they inspect it.
My first color screen phone. A sony ericson. Got washed and dried, twice. It still worked. Too bad they don't make phones like they used to. But then again that phone was no where near as bad ass as this.

Are you sure you flashed it correctly? If you are at the ATT screen then you should be able to connect via adb and do an adb reboot download. Have odin one click running first. If it makes it to download mode click start. It should do everything it needs and reboot on its own in the OS.
If that fails you might have fried something.

Try the rice
I dropped mine in the dog's water bowl on Thanksgiving. I retrieved it quickly and dried it out. It worked but had a few issues with force closing and auto-rotate not working. I removed the battery and SIM card and placed it in rice for 24 hours. It has worked fine since.
Good luck.

I can get the odin one click to run and complete its task. the phone will then reboot and stick at the att world phone screen. Is it at all possible to get from the downloading screen to the recovery screen? I can do the two volume buttons and connect usb to get to downloading but i cannot get to the recovery screen.
i've looked around and tried to figure out how to do adb stuff but i'm not understanding. is adb something i can do while the phone is in the downloading mode?
thanks
You can use adb while at the att screen but not download. Go to Dev section and check my thread Read Before Flashing, therre is some good adb info in it. You should be able adb reboot recovery.

put it in rice for a couple days, than try starting it. if not try replacing the water indicators and go back to att warranty center and say it wont turn on or something. i did that once with a blackberry bold and they replaced it.
Hey everyone!
I'm not quite sure what happened to my Cappy
I'm able to get my phone into download mode by simply pressing the power button, but that's with the battery in it. When I plug it in while in download mode, it doesn't read in Odin - The second I remove the battery (while it's still plugged in) it dies. I tried using ADB to verify that it wasn't reading it, and it didn't read it. I tried all of this on two separate computers, so i doubt it is a driver issue. I'm assuming the USB port on the phone is toast. Any help/advice would be appricitated, as I am completely stumped
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it was using the gingerbread bootloader and running Apex 8.0

See this Stickied Thread... Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help
No Dice
I've tried everything mentioned in the sticky. I don't get any power when it's plugged into the AC adapter without the battery. When I turn on the phone it goes straight into download mode - no button combo required. Like I said before, I checked ADB, I've tried another OS (Ubuntu), two different windows computers, but to no avail.
... as embarrassing as this is, would it help to know that it went through the washing machine? Maybe that killed it
Uhhhhh....yep. That is probably why your buttons are messed up and u go to download mode by just turning the phone on. Don't know if u will be able to recover the phone from that kind of damage.
At least try to dry it out the best u can. U could put it in a ziplock bag with some rice (dessicant would be better), but it may be to far gone.
Sent by XDA Premium App
Actually, rice is much too large to be all the effective at drying the innards, ESPECIALLY if its still assembled. The best way to dry out is to disassemble it right when the "moisture event" (lol) occurs get some 90% rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip and lightly go over all the areas then let set to air dry.
The alcohol will mix with the water and make it evaporate much faster.
But at this point, it may be beyond the point where drying it could help. As its both been a while since it got wet, and its been powered on since then.
Funny now, but not when it happened----I washed and dried a Samsung Impression that i had way back. Needless to say the "dryer" did not help matters. It was a goner. Lol. But it was clean and smelled bounty fresh.
Ok here is my issue. Last night my phone fell in water, and was still working so I turned it off to let it dry put it in a bag of rice etc. phone kept turning on by it self, I was debating if I should try and extract the pics right then and there but I kept telling my self the phone just fell in the water and its working let me turn it off so it can dry ( the smart thing to do right?)
well I turned on about 2 more times finally got it in the bag of rice and didn't turn back on by it self after that ( I don't think )
Well this morning I went to turn it on and nothing, put it on the charger nothing.
I just had a summer vacation and all my pics are on there with no backups, I am willing to try just about anything to extract these pictures any suggestions?
I also have a small theory that maybe the phone died, and charging port is not working from water?
Thanks in advance, really hope someone can help/
I know this doesn't help you. But this is the reason that I backup pictures I can't do without to picasa. Google plus has the auto backup thing. Good luck extracting the pics.

If the phone's completely dead, then there's nothing you can do. That's been confirmed by developers and moderators in a similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414049 ... just go to the nearest service center and see if they can somehow extract the data from the memory, in case it's still intact. Also, I had a similar water accident several years ago with my old phone ... it started working again after several days of drying on a warm place. So put it back in the bag of rice and leave it for several days. Bear in mind that One has an aluminium body which is always cold (especially when the phone's not working and internal hardware can't heat it up), so that won't help in the drying process. If you don't succeed to power it back on, then the service center is your only solution. Good luck mate!

put it back in the bag of rice for a few days. don't touch it and definitely don't try to power it on. the only way the phone can get damaged (any more) is by turning it on. as long as it's off, no damage can be done.

Aluminum is a good thermal conductor, so it draws heat from your hand faster than other materials, making it feel colder, even though it's the same temperature.
Hello.
There's water in connectors (from keyboard, screen, plugs, ect... to motherboard), the only way is to completely dissamble the phone for remove each drop of water.
If no, it append this thing, the phone died because oxydation corrupt contacts and "eat" the copper tracks of printed circuits, so, there's no communication between parts.
The rice cannot blow this water because connectors are very tiny and deep inside the phone.
You need an electronician for trying to rework the tracks (big deal) and clean connectors.
I already rebirth an SGS1 by this way.
I vote for "keep it in the rice" for a few days.
You may be pleasantly surprised.

Phone has been working great, only thing now is there is some condensation on the camera lens. I might stick it back into some rice again and see if I can get that out.
