Stop using it before you make it worse. Turn it off, put it in a ziplock bag filled with rice for a day or two.

I would definitely turn the phone off. Sometimes a blow dryer also does the trick. Just don't use it until you're completely sure it's dry.

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.

[Q] My lg 4x hd soaking wet come back to life with a problem

Hello everyone , i'm watching your site for long time. You are doing great job. Anyway , my phone gets soaking wet. After one week i press the power button to open my phone.Everything works perfect except home button,back button and properties button are light up all the time , even when the phone is off. I put some pictures to see what's going on . I hope you have a solution , thank you in advance(sorry for my english)
Once they turn off when you disable them in settings, might be a software problem. You tried to flash it with other version? The problem remains?

Thank you for your response. The only the thing I did it's factory data reset, and but the problem still there.

If I well understood, it got wet... try to take out the battery and leave it open under the sunlight time enough to be dry for sure. Unless you want to open it...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
You should open you phone and make sure there is no water left in side.I suggest you take your phone to a repair service.They'll know what to do. I once dropped my phone into water and tried to fix it myself. The result is the 3G ,GPS didn't work anymore and after about a month, the phone died
thank you guys for your answers . I let my phone to dry well and it seen to be okay.

Haptic feedback

What is that dreadful rattle noise that seems to come with the haptic feedback of every HTC phone? Sometimes the feedback seems fine then the weird rattle comes back. Had this phone one day btw. Dropped it once though.

Have had mine for a few days now and has only had one fall from a few inches off the ground so I know my issue isn't from damage.
The haptic feedback seems okay for the most part, but any other vibration is crazy loud/rattles. Even while holding in your hand and not just rattling on the desk or something. Seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like a QC issue. It should not be like that. Mine is silent when vibrating, unless on a table or something hard that resonates the sound.

Interesting. Yeah mine makes the sound only when sitting on a hard surface, or if my hand is in a certain spot on the phone. I hate that sound so much though.

I can say that the vibration sound is quite loud and annoying. And it is only when holding it certain ways. Straight up a s down it makes no noise. At a 45° angle it is quite loud as well as holding it flat.

It's the worst! It's like this with every HTC phone I've had. I just turn off all haptic on HTC phones because it annoys me so much.
Makes me second guess not going with the s4

The vibration issue makes me want to take this back and exchange it in store. The data issues and next to impossible streaming capability(have not yet been able to stream a YouTube video using mobile data) make me want to just take it in and exchange for the s4.
The over all build quality and believe it or not, the ui and software makes me want to keep the One.
Still have about 10 days left to make my decision.

I pretty much feel the same way. I have 12 days. If the build and UI wasn't so sexy I would have already.
As I'm typing the vibration is getting more ridiculous.

I just don't get why it will go away then come back randomly.

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.

Speakers not clear

I was using my phone in the shower and I made sure before that my back cover and my charging port cover was sealed. But during my shower, my music gets fuzzy and the speaker doesn't work very well. Help?

The phone is not waterproof, it is water resitant. It is not meant to purposely get wet. The speakers still get water in them but not in the phone. The purpose of the protection is to not get water inside the phone. Thats what the muffeled sound is. Once the speakers dry out, it will go back to normal. People misunderstand the purpose of the water protection. It is not made so you can take it in the shower and use it because if it was, it would be waterproof. It is made for accidents like if you accidently drop your phone in the toilet or in the dishwater then in that case the phone will not be ruined.
