Re: Dropped in warter
damn harsh bro, you cant bring into the store since water damage isnt covered.... the bet i think that you will be able to do is call up asurion and get a new one sent to you...... look at the pitmus paper on your battery and the phone and what color are they? also dry it out with something like a vent or a hair dryer blowing cool air for a lil and see what that does... take the battery and everything that comes out off so it can air more freely.

Re: Dropped in warter
I'd drop my little cousin in some water.
I don't know if it will help now, but anytime you get something wet like that the first thing is to pull the battery asap. Then let it air dry for a few hours. Then hit it with a blow dryer to get it as dry as you can. I've actually had to pop the case and further dry before. Generally as long as you cut power asap and dry it completely before powering up, you're good to go.
If you still see streaks then you may want to get it replaced under your insurance. You might want to run over it with the car first though.

Re: Dropped in warter
First thing to do if that happens is to NOT turn it on. Always take the battery out and let the phone dry out. A hair dryer is a good idea. Electronics aren't really effected by water until electricity is applied, and that is when you run the risk of shorts and that is what will kill it. Just keep it warm to help dry it out.
I lost my LG Muziq after dropping it in a gallon can of dirty lacquer thinner at work (I'm a painter) it was totally submerged. After fishing it out, I immediately took out the battery and sd card, opened the i/o port cover and used an air blower all over it to dry it out (granted thinner dries faster than water, and isn't really conductive) put it all back together and it worked for about an hour. It had nasty thinner stains trapped in between the back light and lcd that shaded the screen but it still worked......but for only an hour. After that the screen wouldn't come on anymore but I could still hit the talk button and it would dial the last # dialed, lol.
What really surprised me was the fact that nothing on the phone melted, nothing. The ink inside the battery compartment came off though (the bar code sticker with esn and such) and that was it. I was up for renewal anyway so that is when I got my mogul.
Just the other day though I put the battery back in the muziq and it powered up, screen and all, but no sound. The speakers must be gummed up lol. Oh and the camera only shows a white screen otherwise all buttons and menus still work.

Re: Dropped in warter
Ouch... damn bro that suck... and sprint wont cover under the insurance plan... there always so tricky w/ that stuff... i need to read up on that policy to know exactly whats covered and what isnt
if further damaging it in a way that is covered will work, id probably go with that..especially if its brand new... just say you were in a car accident or something
Anyone else wondering why the baby had your phone...lol...
seriously tho, that sux... like a punch to the gut

Re: Dropped in warter
yeah two weeks is a pain to be w/o your phone...but at least its free; can you just go to your old one... I mean since its new, im assuming you still have ur old mogul or vogue or something? or has the diamond just spoiled you too much to go back?
