I left my phone in my pocket when I washed it. I got it back out, and the inside of the LCD was all wet.

I took it apart, and dried most of it.
But the LCD won't dry yet.

I've looked up online and found a couple of things out.
1, the sticker on the back of the phone is supposedly to turn red when in contact with water.

THey won't replace it.

I should bake it in the oven at 150 degrees and stuff to get hte water in the lcd out.

I'm not sure, what do you guys think I should do?

Actually, I've dropped my cell phone in the sink. But then I quickly retrieved it. I mean, if you WASHED yoru phone, that means it must've went under mass amounts of pressure of water, right? That's a far worse scenario than what my phone's gone through lol.

ALTHOUGH, you can always take a hair dryer and dry it, but in low mode. I mean, there's not much you can do. My boyfriend was pushed into a pool and he had his moto RAZR (crap phone, imo) in his pocket. He ended up getting a new RAZR because the screen was all white and it was really damaged. I guess it just depends.

Do you still have a samsung sgh-e315? Even though I dropped mines in the sink, I couldn't use my phone for a day and a half. Also, when I turn my phone off, I'm guessing there's still water in the battery, because the phoen randomly starts vibrating until the battery runs out. mellow.gif Also, when I call people, it would randomly hang up on people. I'm also guessing that since my phone dropped in water, the antenna got screwed up, as the reception got worse. You could always get a temp phone and let your phone dry. I believe it was Anna (Azarel) who told me her friend went through the same situation that you did and after a week, the phone worked. But like i said, it depends on the phone, as well as the pressure of water. Cell phones are not waterproof--although I wish they were!

Of course now I have a samsung sgh-e730, so my new phone PWNs the e315. :]

Hey I have a question... Which phone did you drop in the water? the e635 or the e315? I'm confused now haha. And whichever phone it is, what happened to it? Is it still not working?

Glad you got an upgrade. My sister had the sgh-e635 for like 2 weeks on T-Mobile, but then switched over to Verizon. My dad took the phone haha. I'd have to say, THAT IS ONE FRIGGEN SMALL SLIDER PHONE! It's very compact. That's both bad and good. Although the size and overall style is cute and compact, the internal specs aren't that good... VGA camera and yea. But I'd have to say, it PWNs the e315 anyway. Although, e315 > Moto RAZR V3 (original one)

I also have the samsung D600, but I gave it to my half-sis. Insurance will come in handy and I'll get another one too devil.gif

What do you mean by the red sticker voids the warranty?

Okay. First off. THe e635 was washde. And yes, it's working now. I took it apart, and dried it. But, during that time without it, I went back to my old e315. THey are both great phones, and I love them. Good thing I saved it.

And yes, it is a small slider phone. But I too hate the specs. VGA camera my ass. Why would they give me flash for a non-digital phon? Only good thing that came out of it is when I used the phone as a flashlight.

And, the e315 is much better then the original razr.

YOU GOT A D600!!!! HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP!!
It's like, 400 dollars.
Only dumb thing is that it came out like a week after the D500 did, but still no one knows about the D500 or the D600 except a small few. As in the tech geeks, regular geeks, phone junkies, and some random people.

And about the sticker.

There is a sticker on the back inside of your phone. most newer phones come with 2 stickers, one next to thje card slot, one in the inside. The e315 only has one, in the inside. It changes color when H20 or some other liquid similar to this, or has h20 in it is dropped on the sticker.
