Google translate helped..
your device goes green blink and restarts every few hours, including random freezing and some lags.
this is due to water damage usually, and your device freezes and restart as precaution to prevent hardware damage, try to dry your device first with some drying chemicals (not rice, use proper material) by leaving your device with the chemicals for a night or 2 I a sealed plastic bag to drag out the device.
if above did not help, then I am afraid that your device got a hardware issue, it is 100% not a software issue.

I send you a pm
guys, I am sending this from experience, I had a swim with the device doing underwater test. and when I went half a meter it went alright no issues at all. but when I went 1.5m deep it was foggy and full of water and couldn't do anything.
what I did. I bought calcium chloride moisture absorber, and opened the sim tray for air relief, and put the phone with the absorber in sealed plastic bag with reduced filled air, put it in the oven on defrost temperature (below 55C) for 15 min's, then kept it in the bag for 2 nights in the oven (to keep stable heat as much as possible), all the fog on the camera lenses gone, charging returned to normal, phone doesn't freeze anymore, and doesn't restart. no more green blinking and random shut down. returned as brand new.
I believe you have washed or water damaged your devices from what I understand.
an advice, take off the sim tray when you dry out your device because the device is sealed, so nothing comes in or go out. you'll need air relief. talking from experience, because when I had this issue, in first night I did not take off the sim tray and next morning the device still have moisture inside like I did nothing. but when I took off the tray, next day I can see significant change in moisture quantity, 3rd day it was all gone.

Hello friend, I did not know that the same thing that happened to me with me had also happened to you, the reboot and the green screen... I bought it second-hand, I cannot know if it got into the water or not but the safest thing is that it did . Does your mi11 ultra work well after putting it in the oven? a strong hug and thank you very much, I will do what you told me

putting it in the oven of course not recommended and could melt down the internals. you know copper got very low melting down temperature. so it is absolutely dangerous. but I put it in the oven below 55C. the device would turn off on its own at 55c saying over heating, that is why I took that temperature as highest I can go for. and all it does is helping in speeding up process, so if you can not to use your device for 1 more night, then do it instead of putting it in the oven.
ALSO, MAKE SURE IT IS AN OVEN,, NOT MICROWAVE!!!!!!!!! some people mixed up and said, (it is the same thing) while it is 100% NOT, and they blew up their microwave and phone at the same time . be careful, I said oven, NOT MICROWAVE.
it has been 3-4 months now, not a single struggle since then. (thanks God, fingers crossed)
Also, one more thing, I am 100% sure that it happens most of the time if you use certain apps that uses certain sensors that are damaged by water, (even if sometimes it works, some other it wouldn't, a tiny drop could be sitting between short circuiting or not, and a slightest move in a certain direction could short circuit and cause issue), most of the time water drops accumulate around sensors that are closer to glass, screen or back cover because they are colder than other parts, because they are more to the ambient temperature than battery and main board. Mine was causing trouble whenever camera is used (especially ultra wide lens) and gyroscope sensor.

search for moisture absorber in your local shops (online right now) and send me links and i'll tell you closest material.
the principle is moisture absorber (a proper one, and there are different chemicals, that was what I found local and in stock).

i am having a problem with a hot battery. It seems fairly common from reading, but I've not seen anyone else mentioning marks on the battery from the heating. The horizontal stripes on the inside of the back case have created marks on the battery where it has heated up. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also, a slight n00b question, if I do a hard reset, am I right in thinking I will keep the original ROM I had? Also is the 1.37.405.1 WWE the latest WWE ROM?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Stripes on BATTERY? Battery hot is not so normal, the chipset below the battery gets hot. Those stripes (I looked at it myself) are not from heating but just from pressure in your pocket I got em too. And the hot chipset doen't mind, you could have found that in one of the many treads.
With a Hard-reset you reinstall the latest flashed ROM, so yes, it will still be there.
Many thanks for the fast reply. Can others please confirm the stripes too? I have a few down each side of the battery. The 'plastic' also seems to be raising up slightly down all sides of the battery. Not sure if mine is too hot. Does anyone know if that is the latest official ROM too?
Same here, plastic raising a little bit. Though have only got 3 stripes (adidas ) on the right, right from the word 'innovation' on the edge of the batt.
I have three down the left, and one on the right!
Same issue here...didnt think of it at the time as it was charging
But then yesterday, the phone was on all day, paired to the car for about 3 hours and the phone was getting very warm
And it was not on charge at the time
Obviously something is not right... come from a Tytn (along with many old devices) and an N95 - neither of these heated up
Same problem for sometime battery is really hot after a call or data connection. Is that from every device??
Meme probleme la batterie deviens brulante après un appel assez long ou les connection data. Meme probleme pour tous les appareils??
The strips are simply pressure points from the case and appear to be there to prevent the case from quacking like a duck - which coming from SE is a good thing!
The unit does get warm in use but mine is cool when charging. When it is warm I've taken the battery out and it's still cool but the processor is towards the bottom of the phone and this does get warm which I would expect, my Fujitsu N560 PPC used to do exactly the same thing.

Do you think it's broken, or it's simply the protective film that is detaching?
I'm relly upset, because I bought it just 2 months ago. What can I do?
Thank you in advance.

Interesting you brought this up. I just got mine last night and I can see that the upper corner of this is protruding higher than the rest of the piece. No wonder this happens.
i also have the same problem
Hmmm..interesting !
Jeeze you guys
Don't you recognise an immediate warranty return for pretty obvious fault !!!
LOL...do you think there is something wrong with this iPhone.....
My home button isn't alignet correctly with the rest of the phone either. As it haven't been a problem i haven't cared, but seeing these pictures, i see the risk of this problem getting worse after some time. I will contact the webshop i bought it from and see if I can get it replaced. (and referring to this thread).
I had the same problem with the top layer coming off at the corner. I rang
htc support last week and they gave me a address to send it to,
to get it repaired.
The problem is well known at htc.
I rang the shop before sending it to them and they told me it would
take about a week to get it back. I am from Austria btw.
Cheers
Kramer

hi to everyone
i got the same problem 4 weeks ago
fixed now
is sticker protection for screen and keypad
go to www.cnn.cn and buy 1 of the two option (clear $1.99 or mirror effect $2.99)
my is back to perfect again
hi oop this can help
ciao
mmm I think it's not the sticker protection, because stiker protection is really thinner and I took it off when I bought the diamond, leaving it only on the screen... This layer is thicker and is very well sticked to the underlying button...
Are you sure that this is the same thing happened to your diamond, gerardo66?
Thak you.
PS: sei italiano?
italiano
e avevo lo stesso dubbio
ero disperato per lo stupido danno
vai sul sito e vedrai
le tuo considerazioni sono esatte
fai attenzione quando scolli quello vecchio dal home button
fammi sapere
ciao
Just to let you know - I have sent the phone to the htc-serviceshop on
monday and received it repaired and in perfect condition on friday - 5 days is
pretty good I think. They changed the lower part of the touchpanel.
Cheers

same problem here, its because the keypad is sitting higher then the rest.
Only on the left side ..
I have the exact same problem in mine, used a small nail file to file it a tiny bit so that the corner doesnt catch on anything
mine is also starting to happen, but i cant send it in as it is my only phone and im from the US (it will take forever to get back)...Has anyone actually peeled it all off to see what it looks like? is it stickey? is it still mirrored? are the icons on the buttons still intact?
Also, If i do end up sending it in, how long would it take if sending it from California?
the same thing happened with me. it annoyed me so i slowly peeled it off and it seemed to be a thick protective film. i took it all off and everything is fine. I ordered a set of protective films from ebay 1 for the screen and another for this keypad. so dont worry its just a protective film.

Well that is good to hear. I called HTC and they said they were going to charge me $128 bucks and it is considered physical damage.
When you peeled it off, Did the screen feel higher than the buttons, or was it all leveled nicely. Reason i am asking this is because you mentioned it was a thick film. Also, do the icons get removed a well?

lol yeah I was afraid the level of the screen would be higher but no it stays the same you can barely notice a difference. The icons stay on as well. Its exactly like peeling off a screen protector, maybe a little tougher.. but you get the idea.

My auntie's Galaxy Note took a swim in the sea (no not on it’s own). Long story. It was clearly water and ‘salt’ logged. I tested it with battery/USB power. Nothing.
any recommendations?
thanks.

Go back and rescue your auntie. While doing this you can test how far you can throw a brick (with saltwater inside).

Your testing with usb and battery sort of doomed it...
You should attempt to let it dry with battery removed first.
Besides, get a new phone, it's probably gone if it doesn't work after drying the innards

Freezing the battery will not do NOTHING, instead of fix a problem, it can explode or get wet inside, because the battery doesn't allow these low temperatures. Something you can do is diassemble the Note and get it dry for 24 or 48 hours. Then clean with alcohol and a toothbrush every ribbon connector (male and female) and ,with pacience and precaution, the motherboard, usb connector, headphone jack and every single part. Put a new battery inside. That will make the phone boot without problem. Obviously it maybe is going to have sequels. The salt may have affected the screen, the speakers could stop working, and even if you get it repaired, uour phone will never be the same. Next time, be more caution with your phone and the water. Good luck!
Sorry my bad english.

Even the xperia z won't survive a dip in salt water
It is water proof in fresh water only, to elaborate, salt in water = trouble
My cousins SAMSUNG CHAMP(pre historic phone) also swam on the see.. When she realized it is in the water, she picked it up and texted.lol
It worked until the battery heated and I advised her to remove the battery..
It took her PreHistoric phone $8 to be fixed..
<<<The CRACKS on my NOTE shows how often it KISSES the FLOOR>>>
The thread owner wasn't online since he started the thread...
My guess would be that the phone is gone for good. The only chance to save a phone that fell into water is to immediately remove the battery (avoiding possible short circuits). Then it would be necessary to disassemble it and completely dry the device. In case of salt water it would even be mandatory to clean each and every part of the phone, including all connectors and the whole mainboard. Do not try to boot the phone until it's completely dry. Even the slightest humidity could cause short circuits. The mentioned steps do not guarantee that the phone can be saved. But there is a real chance. I myself managed to save 2 phones, one fell into a toilet, the other into a lake.

if u r sure all ports were closed underwater just take it to official service for replacement.

Water damage isn't covered in the warranty, and it's expensive to repair. When my phone got water damaged (happened less than 48 hours after I got it), I put it in a bag of rice with the 2 smaller flaps open for a few days. That didn't help at all, so I decided to leave it in my cupboard with all the flaps open for a day or two. Surprisingly, this took care of all the visible condensation. I charged my phone after this, and there seemed to be no problem. I continued to use the phone like nothing happened, and I kept using it even while the screen was white.
I've had my Xperia Z for almost a month now, and the white screen issue is entirely gone. I also had other problems like condensation in the camera, a malfunctioning proximity sensor, and an external speaker that didn't work. These problems are gone too.
The only signs of damage left on my phone are condensation in the flash and a little silver blob below my screen (no clue what this is, but it doesn't seem to affect the phone).
I'd say leave your phone somewhere airy with ALL of the flaps open for a couple of days, and then try charging it. DO NOT USE A BLOW DRYER OR A VACUUM TO TRY TO REMOVE WATER, AS THIS WILL RESULT IN HEAT/STATIC DAMAGE.
By the way, how many of your water ingress indicators have gone red?

there 1 indicator have gone red, at charge port, but i really sure i've closed it before i brought it in to the water...
so if there is technical error when installation the port, are the warranty still valid ?
i just put my xperia in my bedroom and left with the ports opened, i hope the water inside my lcd can evaporate. I've the same problem with you, there are some silver blob below in my screen too, look like water behind the lcd. almost a week i never charge my phone, i'm afraid there will be shorting inside. so can i charge my xperia now ?

Yeah, but your iPod isn't held together by a heat-sensitive adhesive. The Xperia Z is. So that's not exactly the best idea...

Hey, don't mention it
Wow, that's funny. It's the same exact water indicator that's turned red on my phone.
The flaps on your phone could be faulty, and if they are, you are still under warranty. Next to your headphone flap, there is actually a Waterproof Test Hole, which Sony Service Centers use to test if your phone's waterproof capabilities are okay. The test hole can't be seen as there is a piece of plastic that covers it.
The thing is that it's more than likely that your phone will pass the waterproof test, and that your flaps came loose underwater when you were taking the video (pretty sure this is what happened to me as well).
Oh, and I can confirm that the silver blob is not water, but actually some sort of corrosion. It happened to my previous phone as well, and when I took it apart there was no water at in it at all.
Go ahead and charge it, you've got nothing to lose. Your warranty is void, and it's not like your phone will work without charge. Good luck!

i put my xperia z to sony service center yesterday, and They were looking for what ' s wrong with my xperia, and check is the warranty stil valid or not.....
but it'll surely need a long time, about 1 month++.....
This is silly.. It's supposed to be IP68. It got wet from low pressure tap water, I didn't mind because I know it's IP68. I was about to take a photo and noticed it's blurry, looked on the back and both the main and wide angle lenses are filled with water drops. So annoying.
The 5X lens is perfect for some reason, zero drops there.
I sent email to Giztop, I hope they can help.
Don't trust any phone to be watertight... many have learned the hard way.
Think of it more like being water resistant.
NEVER expose a phone to salt water. If -any- gets inside it's a sure death.
Damn.. I bought the 512/12 version just 5 months ago. What a sh*tshow..

If it hasn't worked it's way to the mobo you should be fine after the clean out.
Just keep it powered down until then.
Truth be told the seals are rather puny on all phones. It's nice when they work, just don't count on it.
Realize that being under water 3 feet is 1.3 psi of pressure. It will find any openings... hence the max 30 minute warning on most "waterproof" phones.
Two ziplock freezers bags will make it waterproof for a couple inches to a few feet in depth. Even then I would keep an eye on it.

I had an LG V30 in the past.. It was in the water so many times , I figured IP68 can be trusted. I guess not all phones are made alike.
Anyway, I turned it off and it's sitting in rice (no idea if it actually works, but better than nothing).
My biggest worry is actually water marks on the camera glass after it dries. The main reason for buying this phone is the camera.
I already sent Giztop an email about it, let's see what they will reply.
Mine fell in a sink once but it was ok . Xiaomi waterproofing seems kinda hit and miss tbh
Forget the rice, eat it.
Heat drives out moisture even in a high humidity environments ie a hot box. Used in tropics to perverse lens, surgical equipment, etc.
Don't over cook it though
A constant 110F will work but it may take a spell.
The water will likely leave a residue but it may not be an issue. Try to gently tap it to the side so it will vaporize elsewhere.
I'm using a sous vide box , inserted a hair dryer in the whole of the sous vide and set the HD on low. Whenever it's turned on the moist goes away, as soon as I stop it comes back. Trying now 30 minutes or so, I'll update.
Giztop seems to avoid taking care of it, but I learned IP68 is not to be trusted. $1200 lesson.

It's not a expensive lesson yet... have it taken apart and dried.
That's probably the best option to avoid damaging it.
