OPO Not Charging and Battery Stuck at 50% After Water Damage

Just a few hours before I had proclaimed how great my One is and how I have not had any problems with it, I entered a swimming pool with my OPO in my pocket. I immediately went and bought some rice. I wasn't able to open the back completely because I didn't have the tools to remove the SIM tray.

After a few days, I tried booting it and it showed a message that the battery was too low (pic) and then it would keep rebooting itself.

I thought that the battery was messed up, so I replaced it. Now it turns out that everything works perfectly fine (screen, speakers, camera), but the new battery (and maybe even the old one) does not seem to be charging. What's even more weird is that it will only show me that it is charged 50%.

The phone seems to recognize that it is connected to a power outlet. When turned off, I can click the Power-button once and see that it is "charging" and at 50%. When turned on, it does not appear anywhere that it is charging. No notification light, nothing on the status bar, and "50% - Not charging" in Settings>Battery (when plugged in) and "50% - approx. 12 hours" (when not plugged in). Also, in Settings>Battery>Battery optimization it says that "battery optimization not available" for Google Play Services.

I have obviously plugged the battery connector back in when I replaced the battery, but I don't know if I need to replace the Micro USB Port or not. It seems like it is recognizing when it is plugged in, but it's simply not charging.

What do you think I should do? Thank you!

Data recovery after Water Damage

My Galaxy S6 recently took a dip in a lake and would not turn on. After trying to displace the water with 91% isopropyl alcohol and I tried to power on again, but no LEDs and would not bootup still. I disassembled the phone and tried cleaning the board with a toothbrush and alcohol to clean any corrosion and hope that my attempts to turn it on did not permanently damage any components. After the cleaning the LEDs turn on, but the screen seems to be damaged beyond repair.

At this point salvaging the phone is not a priority, some very important and irreplaceable pictures that were not yet backed-up are my only concern. Another XDA user suggested trying to install a custom recovery but ODIN keeps failing. I cannot tell you what the S6 screen is showing of course, even putting it into download mode is a bit of a chore.

I dropped my phone in water and now it's not booting up???

Hi guys,

So three days ago, I dropped my phone in water. I kept it off and didn't touch it for 3 days. Today, I realized there is no more moisture by the cameras and tried to turn it on. When I do, it gets to the screen that says "dm-verity verification failed...need to verify DRK first...". I did try and hit reboot system now, nothing, lopped back to this. I have really important pictures on here.I have a few questions:

1. Can i get the pictures off of here before I wipe?
2. What can i even do to fix this?

I was not rooting the phone or anything like that. I'm pretty much a noob and literally have no idea what to do. I really appreciate any help. it's the green international s6 edge

THANKS GUSY!

Bottom speaker after water

Hi

My sony z3 bottom speaker is on a lower volume as the upper one.
I searched it on xda and google, and i found it's normal.
Then my friend Z3 is the same..

Ok

Today (3hrs ago) i put in water my Z3. After a couple of minutes, the upper speaker back to normal,
but the bottom one is more lower, extremly lower now.

Will it back to normal, or it is broken?

Data recovery after Water Damage

At this point salvaging the phone is not a priority, some very important and irreplaceable pictures that were not yet backed-up are my only concern. When I connect the phone to my PC the MTP connection is established, but trying to connect with Samsung Smart Switch gives me a connection error and fails every time. I have installed the drivers and reinstalled the drivers, but the phone simply won't connect. Are there any alternatives to try on the software side for trying to recover the files? I imagine it is likely the faulty hardware that is causing the error, but I would like to exhaust all options.

S7 Water Damage

Hi
My S7 got damaged as back and recent apps capacitive buttons have started malfunctioning and phone behaves as if both are constantly pressed...
This happened after i tried to record a video under water (1 foot depth, 15s duration), while it had front/back protectors and full body protection through a cover which had audio jack and usb port plugs as well. I can safely say the pressure and time were both within limits of IP68 but the phone still couldn't handle it.
Can you suggest possible rectifications steps or suggestions to make phone usable again
Thanks

So my phone has water damage...

Basically I'm an idiot and put my moto x 2nd gen in a plastic bag and went into the ocean. The bag didn't stay shut and my phone got water damage. After powering it off I noticed that next to the top speaker there was a red light light up briefly and now whenever i plug it in to charge the green LED light that's hidden in the top speaker lights up for a few seconds before slowly dimming off. I figure I'm probably outta luck but since the green charging light turns on I figure i still have a little hope. Anyone know anything I can do? Or at the very least know any way I can salvage my data from the phone? Thanks.

Stuck in boot loop after possible water damage

Hi, While on holidays I dropped my phone on the beach and a wave hit it, it was covered in sand etc and it was wet. The phone, however, was still turned on and the screen still worked. I locked the phone, and removed the sand from the charging port and between the buttons. But when I turn it on, it goes to the "1+ Powered By Android" screen, and it doesn't go past that. I also can't reach the recovery screen, but I can get to fastboot mode

I left it in rice for a few days, to no luck and I put it in the hot press overnight which didn't work either.
I also tried flashing the stock rom from fastboot mode, and flash a recovery rom too, but it didn't help at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try and fix it?
Cheers, Adam.

Water damage on the Nexus 5X

Hi, after some hours in heavy rain my water proof pocket was filled with 4cm of rain and my phone started swimming. Unfortunately my reflexes turned the phone on and I saw the screen flashing up normally up to some point when it went off again. Back home I opened the device and dried everything. I saw some corrosion next to one chip (I think it was the ST Microelectronics STM32F411CE 32-bit 100 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 RISC microcontroller) and the sim card holder. I cleaned that with a soft toothbrush and after one day assembled the phone and added usb power and turned it on - no charging light went on, no vibration was happening, the screen stayed black.
So I went to buy some Isopropylalcohol and covered all disassebled parts of the phone in it, cleaned it, let it dry, assembled it and tried again. Same no-response.
I repeated this procedure 3 times by now and even tried it with a new battery. Still no success.
No I wonder what my options are:
1) trying to repair the phone somehow.
2) rescuing only the data from the emmc.

1: I already explained what I was trying. I also have a multimeter and probably am going to follow the trace of electric flow tomorrow, hopefully finding that one diode that is broken now.
What else can I do. Do you have any suggestions?

2: I have seen the amazing work of changing the emmc by using a heatgut. Nice hack to remove bga circuits. I just wonder: Do the data survice such a hot process?
Right now I tend to think about unsoldering the emmc and trying to find a reader for emmcs to read out my data (Easy JTAG or something). This is a fun way where I definitively will learn a lot because I have no experience in this field. I dont know the tools, their names, nor the caveats.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks,

[xposed mod request] soft keys blocker for water

Hi all, today I tried to take some photos and videos in the pool, the results are awesome but often the soft keys are "touched" form water opening multitasking or stopping videos... Someone can make a mod to lock soft keys while recording? So if someone record a video underwater, the video won't stop until we press the volume buttons! It's just for fun but can be very useful :) thanks to all!

Sorry for my bad English

Recently Water Damaged, now booting - but microphone not working.

Recently my Nexus 6P got some water damage from a canoe trip (even though it was in a water "resistant" pelican case), and was not booting up. Took it to get repaired and the shop cleaned up the corrosion on the bottom of the phone where they said the water damage was. Phone booted up perfectly and everything was working great - wifi, gps, speakers, vibration motor, etc.

A few moments later my wife called me and I answered only to realize that she could not hear anything from my end. The microphone was not working. Took the phone back and they replaced the bottom PCB (daughterboard) of the phone which holds one of the main microphones.

No luck. Now I'm able to use my Nexus 6P for EVERYTHING except making phone calls, which kinda blows. I know I could use bluetooth etc. but that's not really a solution for me.

Does XDA community have any thoughts / ideas about what the problem could be and any possible solutions for me?

Thanks a ton guys!

Water damage :( what now?

Hi. This happened a while ago but I finally have the time to deal with my poor Nexus 6p. It spent a few minutes in a hot tub a few months back. Rice for more than 48 hours - nothing. Brought it to Staples where they put it in the machine that heats the gel balls (?) to remove the moisture. Charged it for a few minutes there and it actually turned on! Awesome, except the touch screen doesn't work. Battery seems to hold a charge, screen turns on and looks fine, volume and power buttons work, and I couldn't figure a way to test the fingerprint scanner or camera. Factory reset it. So now the phone is stuck to booting to the options menu with recovery mode and all that.

Is it possible to determine or guess what is wrong from this information? I've looked at the teardown, and I'd assume there is an issue with the pressure sensor, but I don't know enough about phone construction and parts to know if it's the sensor, or the part that connects the sensor to the screen, or something completely different.

I wanted to get some advice on what to do from here. Other than tossing it or leaving it forever, I have three options:

1. Repair shop: This seems like the easiest option, but potentially expensive enough that I'd be better off getting a whole new phone instead. Would a diagnosis be a separate process/transaction than the actual repair service? There are a few nearby shops for me to check out.

2. Fix it myself: The 6P seems like a pain in the ass to take apart and put back together (2/10 repairability score). I don't think it's beyond my ability, but the time and risk that it involves for me to do it myself makes me very hesitant. I also don't know exactly what I'll find inside the phone.

3. Sell it: Sell for parts and buy a new phone. If it comes to this, I need to know what I should expect to get for it. It's good hardware, and the parts that still work seem in good shape.

I wanted to consult the internet before going any further. So, how boned is my phone? Any different suggestions? Thanks for reading and I appreciate any advice.

Charger port demange by water? G870A

Greetings, was yesterday in the pool and was recording a video underwater, my cousin kicked me out of hand and fell to the bottom .. Apparently the battery cover and veered a little water came in, quickly I picked it up and .. I pull off and dry. I kept my day enjoying pool.

When I get home I turned on after assures me that was completely dry and switched smoothly ..

The problem is that by putting it to load does not and stays at 21%. It will be the port of loading damaged by water or something else?

My cell active G870A

IP68 | 10 hours SOT! | Blackview BV6000 review | Into a bucket of soapy water | 3GB

The tough phone market is one of the last few untapped mobile markets, with just a few models existing. Blackview decided to tap into it with the BV6000.... A 3GB 32GB big battery, MT6755 Helio P10 mobile.

According to Blackview, the BV6000 is IP68 certified. We did a short test swimming it around in a bucket of soapy water. Not extensive, just a first test to see if it survives.



Full specs of the BV6000

• SoC: MT6755 MT6755 Helio P10


• CPU: big.LITTLE 64-bit Cortex-A53 4@1.0GHz+4@2.0GHz


• GPU: Mali-T860MP2


• Display: 4.7"@720P IPS OGS Gorilla Glass 3


• RAM: 3GB


• ROM storage: 32GB


• Rear camera: 13MP OmniVision


• Front camera: 5MP OV5670


• NFC: Yes


• TF SD expandable: Yes


• Dual-SIM : Yes


• Quick-Charge: Yes (5V2A)


• Atmosphere pressure sensor: Yes


• Compass : Yes


• OTG: Yes


• IP rating: IP68 Shockproof / Waterproof / Dustproof


• Battery: 4200mAh (tested and confirmed)

Display
Some may consider the display a downside, but being a tough phone, this is a mobile we'd expect should have extreme battery life, being 720p helps out a lot towards this end. And, on a 4.7" display, 720p.

It looks good from all angles, even extreme diagonals, maintaining color and contrast without issue.

SOT time
Testing with our standard 720p/WiFi/YouTube/140lux, the Blackview BV6000 battery gave us 10+ hours SOT screenon time.

RAM / ROM
Storage on the BV6000 is 32GB. In addition to the big storage, a TF SD card can be added to expand. RAM is a hefty 3GB; more than enough.

OS
The OS is Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and we'll have a Blackview BV6000 root guide coming up, but for now the OS is excellent. Everything is extremely fluid in regards to transitions and animations. Rapid touch typing is no issue, with zero hangups.

Google Play comes out of the box and is working without issue. There were no force closes or issues otherwise with any of the tests we ran.

WiFi
Outstanding, keeping with the best of the best maintaining a fast, stable connection at 144ft/44m.

GPS
Great. Hitting and maintaining mid/high 30's to low 40's on 7 satellites (see video).

Camera sample images
The camera on the BV6000 is OmniVision OV13853. Do not underestimate OmniVision. This is a good sensor, capable of 1/4 speed slow-mo (see video). Based on our preliminary shots delivers sharp images in line with mid-range Samsung / Sony sensors.

Other components
Included with the Blackview BV6000 is compass, gyroscope, FM radio, SOS button, NFC, atmospheric pressure sensor, dedicated camera button.

This is just a preliminary review, but at this point, we can confidently recommend the Blackview BV6000. We have confirmed the battery as 4200mAh and Blackview is a class act in comparison to some of the other China brands.

We'll have a full review upcoming at http://www.gizbeat.com/review, and will update this thread with a root and TWRP tutorial soon.

No luck restoring water boarded edge, last rites?

I'd love some advice if there is anything left to try to restore my t-mobile s6 edge (g925t). It was submerged in water for only a few seconds. Took it to the Tekdry machine inside Staples, which dried it out completely. Still not booting up.

I can get into download mode. I've tried reflashing the stock rom (epf1) with both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7, and tried the repartition option with the original pit file. It always hangs at NAND writing. I've tried the smart switch emergency recovery, but it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried reinstalling Samsung drivers, and rebooting.

I've attached a photo of where the write stops. I've heard of jtag repair. Is that a real option at this point? Thanks.

How to Fix a Water Damaged Phone

Drop your phone into a sink, pool, or toilet? Expose it to moisture? These can damage your phone. Don’t panic. You can fix a water-damaged phone without a penny. Follow the steps to proceed with a phone revival process.

1.Try a Different Battery
Phone has no response to a charger? Exposed to liquid, the phone will not power. In this case, you are advised to remove the battery and replace it with a working one of the same model so as to check whether there is a battery issue. You can borrow one from a friend or family member.



The most common issue that leads to non-working water-damaged phone should be charging and power issues. Once your phone is dropped into water or get wet, dry the phone especially the battery in no time.

2.Clean the Water-damaged Phone with Alcohol
Alcohol? Sounds interesting! Believe it or not, it works. If a phone is exposed to salt water, chlorine water, or just fresh water that may mix with chemicals, minerals, sediments, and corrosion. Drop your phone in 99% alcoholic liquid. Because alcohol is non conductive, it won’t cause a short. And it will get into everywhere of your phone to give a clean. Just sit back. After one hour, get the phone out of the liquid and let it dry. Then it should work.

Please note that you must check your phone LDI (Liquid Damage Indicator) Sticker before doing that. If the LDI Sticker of your water damaged phone is still white (warranty is still valid), and you put it into alcohol, the LDI will be activated. So we don’t recommend this method but trying to file a warranty claim. But if the sticker has been activated (warranty is void), you can try to fix it with this method first.

Now your phone has been fixed. Power the phone on and see if it works normally or not. Besides, check files in the device. Water damage can cause severe data loss. If you are unlucky to lose your files, hurry to recover data with a recovery program, FonePaw Android Data Recovery for example.
