I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.

It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.
Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.

I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.
edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.
If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.
I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.

Was able to get a replacement as well for $16! I wanted to have a spare.
Can anyone post the number to call for a warranty replacement?

Hello,
May I know where is the liquid damage indicator on HTC One? As it has come into contact with water, but still working well ...
Thanks

I think what dplate07 mentioned is the indicator that inside iPhone. There is an indicator inside the phone to detect whether it got wet before.

I wouldn't say damage, but there is an indicator that tells if the device has had contact with water. And they can deny warranty claims if the indicator shows contact.
EDIT: Kinda like this. But on the inside. It's just a reactive strip.

I know the Droids have had them. idk about HTC phones. I've only had the One series, and these didn't have removable backs.
EDIT EDIT: I was looking at the teardown of the One. Looks like the only thing that may resemble an indicator is on the battery. If water got that deep into the phone, you're screwed regardless lol.

Thanks!
However I wonder if anyone can confirm the exact location ?

Almost every device has one actually usually on the battery, or sticker behind the battery, or inside the headphone jack / usb slot.
It's to diagnose water damage and void warranties

There is a nice video on youtube disassembling a Galaxy S. The indicator plate is well visible. It's been used for a long time in many Android phones.
My girl friend had her Galaxy S got a defect home button. They refused the repair and said that it had got moisture and is thus out of warrenty (they offered to destroy it or send it back for 100 bucks, btw !!!).
As far as I know they used to use litmus paper in small dots which would change colour if it became wet.

After looking at the pics of the tear down couldn't find anything but the one on the battery.

Does anyone have the warranty/user guides, and can they see if there's anything about the standard operating environment especially maximum humidity? I think my phone's been borked by the South East Asian humidity.
They are often also in the headphone jack on phones that don't have a battery door. They'll be at the bottom of the jack so that technicians can just use a flashlight to check it out before disassembling the phone.
Actually most devices DO NOT have these anymore, as simple humidity would turn the indicators and give false readings. the only true way they can deny a warranty for liquid damage is the presence of corrosion, usually in the charge port, or on the mainboard if its a servicable device by the carrier. also if you hand it to them dripping wet.
The liquid indicator is actually hidden behind the flash on the back of the phone. The HTC First also has the liquid indicator located there.
**edit, to be more exact, it's located exactly to the right of the LED.

Yes I know of one place it's the white or yellow square next to camera,if it has red or a bit of black it's water damaged.
Hey guys,
A weird question...
So I have had my phone repaired under warranty thru JB Hifi (a brick and mortar place chain in Australia). The repairer supposely replaced the board as it was completely dead (the IMEI # is different so I believe they did replace it). I am not 100% if the water "proofness" still exists now that the board is replaced...
How would I do a quick test and where would I stand in the warranty side of things if the phone dies after the test?
Anyone have any idea?
Cheers,
Yots.

Normally they do a waterproof test at the end ...
Try putting it under water for a millisecond or so, take it out and see if anything happened.

I have contacted Sony support and they told me it sounds like the phone needs servicing by their service centre. They mentioned that since its not repaired by them, the water resistance feature might not have been tested/done..
Going to call them monday and organise it to be serviced me think.
I was taking photos in the pool and everything was fine. But after a few minutes outside the water, the touch suddenly stopped working. The water indicators are all white and everything but the touch are still working. I can even take pictures.
I have restarted, factory reseted, put a new firmware and nothing seens to solve it. Must be a hardware problem. Any sugestions?
There aren't any water indicators on Z1. You already did what you should. Last thing is to flash a new FTF via Flashtool and if this will not solve the problem then it's a hardware failure and go for replacement.

They are in the covered ports. Already flashed a new FTF, no lucky.

Then go via warranty. Are you sure the indicators are there under the flaps? I tested the flaps many times and no sign of any indicators. Maybe they are fake.

Then you should go for international warranty from Sony Service, call them.
BTW, I think you confusing the reset button with the indicator. Trust me there is no any indicator. You can say this all day, trust me.

Sorry, my Z1 is normal, your have to be special. There is no any indicator. Type on XDA "Z1 Indicators" and you will read about it more deeply. I am not new to this so stop telling me this crap.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...-the-water-indicator-on-Xperia-Z1/td-p/397501 from the Sony forum. It's not crap, the indicators are the white strips on the reverse of the flaps. They will turn red if your wet them. Try it if you don't believe me.

Hey Greg, I saw this page and sorry if I was rude in the last post but under my flaps there is not any kind of indicators, not even close. A picture of this indicators will help me to understand if I am wrong...
Googling "Xperia z1 water indicator" reveals that there actually is at least 1 physical indicator. Maybe it's model-specific or there are just a lot lot of people with a misunderstanding.
Either way, you should go for the warranty and contact the Sony support.
Since its only your touchscreen that stopped working, chances are good that it's can be repaired by an independent phone repair center, but that would cost a bit.
Good luck

I did. I took off the flap from micro SD and I drop water on it and still gray like new the first time. I can make a vid about this if someone don't believe..so?
My Z1s doesn't have any indicators under the flaps either. There might be one inside, but nothing on the flaps.

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?
