Because you are not meant to drop it is the screen cracked? Is it unusable? Then wtf are you complaining about.

Depends on how its build, the glass strips are probably just decorations and not part of the real casing.

Sides panels are made from polyamide, not glass, and no, it won't leak

Spilled water over my HTC one

Yay! Yeah so my brother spilled water over my htc one.It switches on then switches off
So now what?Have put it in silica gel of now.
What are the chances of getting it replaced if any?The yellow behind the flash is still yellow if that helps.

Remove all parts that can be removed like battery sim etc. Put the phone in a airtight box with rice .leave it for one week and try boot it and see is there any problem or not

But the thing is after doing the deed he didn't tell me out of fear and the phone was working after for 10 minutes and then it switched off.
It's in silica gel which I guess works better than rice

You will not be able to get it replaced under warranty (if that's what you mean) because they will be able to tell that it has been water-damaged by checking the sensor inside the device.

I'd try turning it off and putting it in a bag of uncooked rice for 24 hours and then see how it performs. If it doesn't work, then your best bet is to contact HTC and see if they can repair it for you or give you a replacement with discount.

Bro I am from India so service center guys here are complete noobs.
Opening a HTC is not an easy task and the amount of water wasn't that much.It wasn't completely submerged in water.The water seeped through the lower speaker so there might be some chance that the sensor isn't tripped.

Yeah, put it in dry rice for a few day`s as has been mentioned before.
EDIT : check the video below, water test on Iphone and S4 , and repair with rice.

So they're basically like the service center over in Egypt, haha! Well I wish you luck and I hope you can get it repaired or replaced.

Yeah I hope so.
But inn case they know there is water damage then what?
If they aren't well equipped to repair it then what?I will have a bricked $800 phone.

I've contacted them and the HTC one is currently in testing and they will have it certified within a few weeks.
Also definetly try the rice trick
Good luck
Also the water damage detector is the yellow inside the led flash on back of the phone. If there is no yellow but red the water sensor is tripped.

And when it's all said and done, buy a Xperia Z or S4 Active. Then write a letter to HTC asking them to build a water resistant phone.
I love my One more than my Xperia Z, but I worry less when using the XZ. It's a worthwhile tradeoff...IMO of course.

Are your sure about that?Can anyone confirm it please?
Because mine is still yellow. :fingers-crossed:
When I connect it to the charger the orange light keeps flashing continuously(it happens when the battery is extremely low).Gave it to the service center today let's see what happens.

The yellow stuff that you see through the flash glass is the LED itself.
However, there might be some water sensitive material AROUND the LED ...

hold hairdryer on it helpd me several times with other electrical devices

Do you have to open the phone to see it?
Or can you just tell by looking directly through it.Because I can't see anything red around my flash.

I'm only telling you what I have found out reading the forums. I did not opened my phone ...
The idea is that there might be some indicator around or next to the led but I have no idea if actually is such thing. The yellow square is the LED ... but maybe (i repeat, MAYBE) HTC put something there. I'm saying that because there are some guys pretending that when they returned the device to be exchanged/repaired under warranty, the guys at the repair center looked in the flash to see if it was any water damage ... I have no idea if this is true or not ...

Yeah gave it to the service center and they found water damage.They replaced the mainboard and the battery and charged me 200$ or Rs 12k.
But it's working fine as of now and the whole thing of one being irreparable wasn't true.

Hi there!
Don't worry! (I think... lol)
I have the same "issue"...
I think it's normal.. You should be worried if you see water get inside the "orange area", where the battery is.
I wash my phone once a week and when i finish, i dry it with a towel and open the back cover to dry some little drops of water that entered the camera and lower area, as you said.
Always make sure the back cover and connections are really closed and it should be fine! (I hope! )

Yes it actually might. No seal would last forever. So be a little careful. Try to swap as little as possible or get a larger sd card.

Well honestly I don't know the build quality of your phone so I can't comment on how long it will last. I wasn't trying to scare you or anything, was just saying that any lock/seal will deteriorate over time with usage. But maybe it would last so long that you wouldn't have to worry.

No problem! Try not to open and close it too much.

that's normal....
even xperia active still has water inside ... but , the water there , as in near of camera, is not dangerous ... as long as the water doesn't pass through the rubber seal

Xperia Z failed with rice.

I've been with a friend in a aquapark and made photos,videos etc with our Xperias(Z).
My Z performed well and everything was okey,but my friends Z began with trouble.
His front and rear camera were white.
He left the phone with the flaps open all the night and it performed well,the camera were ok so the device.
After a week his power button 'died' and he could wake the phone with volume up button,weird.
I told him to put it in rice and wait to be fixed.He left it so 5days and now there is like a splash of water on the screen not moving.?
He has no warranty but the phones strips are white.
Do you have any suggestions?
C6603 ?

refresh: Power button is fixed but the water splash under the screen remains.
C6603 ?

May you Send some pics of it? Then I'll look at it.
Or Would be even better if you make a video while pressing softly on it.

I will send you some pics in so 20mins till I meet with my friend.
C6603 ?

Here they are:
C6603 ?

more
C6603 ?

Seems not so good.
Does it move while pressing?(Even a bit should be good)
And Does it just see so that he doesn't have the Anti-Shutter protection? Because if it's missing water-resistance can be "damaged".
And after a week, there shouldn't be any water inside.

I bet the water got in because the condensation.
It has the antishatter protection.
The water doesn't move..
I put it again in rice and will hold longer this time

What if the water is in between the antishatter film and the screen?

It would be squezed out I think...

Maybe remove the front glass and clean it if there is no other solutions.

This was my first idea too, but I don't think so. And then it Would be movable. The film is relative hard to remove, so water shouldn't come in.
I think it's between Glass and LCD unit.

the glass and the lcd are also glued together

Then it will be really hard the water to get out.
Before I put it in rice the first time I didn't have this problem with the screen 'splash'
I hope the rice will pull it out.

Hey, sorry to necro this thread but I've been having this exact same problem, could you tell me what came out of this? Did the phone recover?

No.The phone got sold for 70euros(the friend buyed it 500€).
He will never buy a waterproof phone again.

[Q] Are my port covers failing?

I'm noticing that my charging port cover is starting to have some issues staying closed. Sometimes it pops up unless I close it in a particular matter. Just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about regarding this phone's ability to be waterproof. Does this happen with all models overtime (Only been 2 months!) and will replacing them compromise the IPX58 certification in any way. I'm kinda disappointed i'm having this issue so soon.

Absolutely you should be worry about it because this can compromise the water resistant option. Is the first time I hear about that so probably not happen to everyone. Check if the rubber inside is not pinch or something like that. Anyway this will not help so you should go tho the store and ask if is covered by warranty, do not panic, even if is not the flaps are cheap and even if you will have pay for it, will be few back only, i know is not fair but ask them first.

Easy, you don't have to open even the phone to replace them, just pull out the flap from the small hole, be careful to do not cut it so no pieces will stuck inside and then if you get the new flap with a toothpick you put it in.
EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking you want to replace them and not oil them! My Bad! :angel:
..but you can do it in the same way.
