Phone got wet!

Bottom half of my phone was submerged in a drink of water for about 6 seconds. I instantly opened the back, removed battery, and dried off everything from the outside. I popped the battery back in and turned device on. Menu and back don't work, haven't tried plugging it in via USB or made a phone call. You think once water comes out the menu and back will work?

You did everything right until you put the battery back in. You should have put in in a bag of rice or ran a blow dyer on low heat. But I've seen plenty of phones come back from water damage. Good luck

I used hair dryer on it for 2 hours and it works flawlessly now.

Hair dryer can spread moisture thru the rest of the device and kill it later. Its really simple and safe just to remove the 5 or 6 screws from the back and take off the black olastic. Hit it again with ur blowdryer just to be safe. U will find there is still quite a bit of moisture under it if you do

Don't use the phone for a day or two and toss it in a container of rice. Put it on top of the fridge for a slight bit of warmth and leave it for a day or two. It will pull all of the remaining moisture out of it.

uh next time you should wait a couple days before attempting to turn it on..
there is always a good chance it will work but chances are something will get fried if you are impatient and try to power it on.. water and electricity aren't a good combo if you haven't already noticed so don't turn it ON. no matter how fast you remove it, water still got inside..

Several years ago I dropped my phone into a bucket of water I was about to mix grout in. I did the same thing you did, and the phone miraculously worked. Over the next week though, individual components malfunctioned one-by-one. I eventually had to buy a new phone. Then 2 years ago I got in a hot tub with my blackberry in my pocket. I didn't realize it until my wife sat next to me and I felt it there. I immediately took the battery out, went inside, took it apart as much as I was able to, placed all 3 major parts in a bucket full of rice, & went tech-free for 48 hours. My abstinence from my phone was somewhat brutal, but it worked flawlessly after that until 7 weeks ago - when I elected to upgrade to Android & bought my SGS3.
I'm not saying you'll have the same experience I did with that 1st phone, but I am saying that time, patience, & rice can work miracles when our expensive high-tech devices meet their ultimate kryptonite. It's like Superman orbiting the sun, good as new!

I've had two phones get submerged, and I can say, step one is always pull battery. Step two should always be leaving it submerged in rice for a minimum of 24 hours. Mine have always come back from the dead and worked.

My phone is working but battery is lasting 1/3rd of it's original life.
Not sure if the water did something to it?

It's saying battery fully charged though. Idk what the problem is. I'm getting a replacement battery now.

Actually I'm noticing that my weather isn't working like it should. Maybe that's why battery is draining?

I've had some weird issues like that before. Sometimes, the battery wasn't making a good connection to the phone. Try taking the battery out, using an eraser (on a pencil) and cleaning the contacts on the battery and the phone. Also, I've put a little piece of paper folded up on one side of the battery to force the battery to touch the connectors. I'd get a new battery anyway though, just to be safe. They are cheap.

This happened to me after I updated to LG8 and never started working again. I ended up flashing CM10 because it was broken, clock FC'd every time along with other issues. I don't think this is related to your phone taking a bath.

Battery indicator bug after update to 4.1.2

Today I updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.1.2 and after the update time to time battery indicator changing to charging, though I haven't even connected to a charger. Manually flashed the yajku factory ROM again. But the problem continues. Removing the battery also didn't solve the problem. Anyone else facing this?

Had the same exact problem. its the usb port. try blowing it with an air machine and cleaning it with a needle. and see if the metal thing inside is bent downside. if so, try bending it upwards with care.
do all this while having the phone off and battery pulled out.

Wiping battery stats is in no way, shape, or form, related to battery indication.

Your usb pin may be bent, making it contact the metal casing in the usb port. If its bent, you can carefully bend it back with a toothpick cut in half, then shaved down to a point. Dont use a metal object to do this. If it needs a good cleaning, wal mart sells electronics cleaner in an aerosol can in the automotive isle, spray some in a cup, and dip a new (not used) toothbrush in it and use it to scrub the port. Hold the phone upright while doing this so nothing drips inside the phone. And power off and remove the battery beforehand. Let it evaporate for a min before turning it back on. If that doesnt do it, then you must have some water damage. Ive had it happen to my girlfriends' nexus TWICE. Imagine that. You can buy a new usb charging port flex cable online for about $7. And there are a few videos showing how to disassemble the nexus. Its pretty easy to change if you're like me and buy your devices from amazon with no warranty

This happened to me too now...
it can't be the usb-port...
I am reverting to 4.1.1 (thank god for backups).
To see if this solves it.
Returning with answer.
Edit:
4.1.1 didnt help,
started digging out some dust from there... That seems to have made the deed, but ive only tried for a couple of mins...
It started to "charge", and started charging after i plugged it in...

Deleted (see next post).

I fixed my problem by moving the middle platform in the USB slot upwards using a toothpick.

Charging Issue

Hi guys,
i have some issues with charging my inc2.
it is not accepting any charge anymore, tried diffrent chargers, cables, even on my pc but nothing. The orange charging LED just flashes slowly on and off...
Any ideas?

Need to replace phone or replace charging port.

Yes, unfortunately it is a known hardware issue. Over time, the charging port starts coming loose. Like mentioned above, you CAN fix it yourself. There are video tutorials on YouTube and the replacement part can be had for under $10. If your device is still under warranty, Verizon will replace the phone. If it's not under warranty (or if you just want to give it a go), the port replacement process is pretty straightforward.

I might give it a try. Does anybody have a video or a link?
The weird thing is, that the battery is discharging very fast, could it be just a bad battery?

Could b the back door on your inc 2. I believe you need the back door on to charge cuz it goes thru contacts on the back. I dropped mine one day and charging and getting signal was almost impossible till I figured that out and bought a new one

Ok.
Seems to charge now. Won't touch it until it is full. After that I will check what is going on.
I don't know where this issue came from.never dropped it nothing. It was even in a Otterbox
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

The issue stems from regular use. The charging port is essentially held in place only by the connections to the board. Repeatedly plugging and unplugging the power cable causes it to break over time.

actually just replaced the charger port on my incredible 2 today. It really wasn't that difficult at all. If you have any questions feel free to PM me

yeah it has to be replaced. happened to me last month. It's honestly like the worst flaw with this phone

Def need to replace it. Same issues I was having at one point with it randomly taking charge. I found that if the charger is plugged in a held a certain level ( i placed the phone on a flat surface with a book under the cord for leverage) it would charge just fine.
If you are rooted and sending back, make sure you revert to stock to avoid any annoyances.

I've managed to solve this issue without messing around with the phone's innards (the last time I did it was a disaster and I was forced to buy an entirely new phone). It's not pretty, but if you twist a rubber band around the micro usb end of your charger, plug your phone in, twist that same rubber band around the phone itself, and make sure the connection very tight, you might get some more life out of your charger port.
Ugh. I can't wait for my upgrade.

While, I give you major kudos points for MacGuyver-ing a solution, that's more of a quick band-aid than a real fix. I could imagine having a rubber band around the phone could potentially hinder usage.

Thank you. You're telling me. Do you know how hard it is to use a touch screen with a rubber band across it? Oy.
Right. The caveat here, of course, is that this technique will only help charge your phone until the charging port becomes so disconnected from the board that no amount of force will reestablish this contact. And this will inevitably happen because you're going to keep plugging and unplugging your phone from the charger which is what created the issue in the first place.
If you know you have big, sweaty, idiot hands (like me) that are going to destroy your phone if you take it apart (like me) and you can tough it out: more power to you. The other alternative is to buy an external battery charger and a second battery. The disadvantages here are pretty obvious (e.g. you have to carry a second battery around; if you forget a second battery, you can't ask another Android user to borrow their phone charger, etc.).

[Q] Strange issue , really freaking me out ;)

Ok just 2 days back got this used E4GT , the phone was said to be having a voltage too high issue and apart from that everything was supposed to be good
But looks like i was scammed
any ways the phone has multiple issues
1... when u turn it off it repeatedly keeps cycling b/w blue and red LED , and shows charging battery icon , when there is no charger attached
and regardless of how many times you press the power button the phone wont boot,
to reboot u ll have to connect it to charger and then press the power button.
2.. whenever i plug it in to my PC its detected alright and does what it is supposed to , but when the usb cord is removed , it keeps showing the usb icon as if its still connected.
3.. the blue lights turns on itself and keeps flashing
4.. i saw that voltage too high error just once
is there a way out , and i am also noticing that the phone is losing charge faster , it came with 2 xtra batteries , the og is swelled up so using the generic samsung og looking battery

While you're at it clean the battery contacts and pins in the battery housing. Also new batteries would benefit you as you have no idea what the previous owner did.
If there are still issues after that try doing a complete restore one click to get back to completely stock with root to rule out any possible tweaks or corrupted files causing problems:beer:

As I was reading the OP I had a feeling there had to be some kind of water damage causing all of this.
I say take it apart and clean everything up really good and before you put it back together completely, hold the battery in place and try to boot it up. I never had water damage but my volume rocker was sticking so that it would boot into safe mode or download mode if I held only the power. I took it apart and cleaned up the volume rocker then pressed it about a dozen or so times, then held the battery on the pins to see if it booted up normally and the rocker was working then after I had it fixed, I snapped everything together and put the screws in.
You don't want to put it back together then have to take it apart again.

What some people have done (I haven't) is take it apart and let all the parts sit in a bowl of rice, which will draw out the water.
What I did, but wasn't with a smartphone, was take it apart and let the parts sit in front of a fan for 24 hours, and it worked fine after that.

If I the warranty is voided then you should be OK to do this. Search Google for the following "e4gt replacement parts". I'd replace the USB port if I were you. Its like $10 or $20, but at least that part's new.
Also most likely water damage.

Once water damage has set in and corroded the damage is nearly irreversible. The traces on the board become permanently damaged, hence the issue he's having.
Circuits that aren't meant to be touching have been bridged by the water, electricity flowing through the circuit now causes the minerals to oxidize, creating a white powdery substance. If that substance sets too long it can bond with the traces and PCB. At this point the circuit is damaged and "cleaning" off the corrosion will sweep away the oxidized minerals and the traces to the board that bonded to it.

Yep, I'm aware of everything you said. I was just giving a suggestion also for anyone reading this thread to follow - if the damage had just happened within a day and it was taken apart and dried immediately. In this case it's very likely it's too late, but it's good knowledge to spread that it has worked in some cases. I also don't assume anything, since the phone in question isn't in front of me.

I had the same problem before but I never dropped it in water but regardless, it would do everything that your E4GT is doing. For about two months, whenever it would do that, I would take the battery out for 10-20 minutes and put the battery in. If it rebooted by itself, then I would take the battery out and put it back in and kept doing that until it didn't reboot by itself. The problems would go away for about two weeks then come back. When I got tired of doing that, I decided to upgrade to Jelly Bean and that fixed it (was on ICS when the problems were occurring). If you're already on JB, I would try downgrading to ICS. Changing from one JB ROM to another doesn't fix it

If you've used the app, you should know there's hardly anything random about it. When a particular wakelock has exceptionally high usage, Google about it (can be done from within the app) and get some insight into what is triggering it. Then you can disable/suspend that app/service.

Mine was having the same problem, but I followed the advice of an earlier post by Godra and it has stopped turning on automatically. Basically, I used my pocket knife to clean out under the pins in the micro USB charging port. I also bent it up just a little bit (be very careful not to break it) to keep it away from the metal housing, which is a ground. Something must have been shorting one of the pins to ground (the housing) causing it to continuously wake.

Prying or cleaning the USB connector did not help in my case. Battery charge indicator sometimes stayed on, but sometimes not. Battery drained really fast.
I bought a charging flex connector board replacement (they are really cheap on ebay), watched some youtube videos explaining the how to change the board and when my new board arrived, my phone was fixed in under 15 minutes.
My gnex now holds charge for over 24 hours with moderate use.
With Jelly Bean 4.3 installed and a new charging port, it feels like a brand new phone!

Hi,
I have developed an open-souce (GPLv3) app that helps save battery when this happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484871
SnooZy Charger turns off the screen on these ghost connections, saving battery consumption by the display. It does not fix the charging issues, but it reduces the battery drain when this happens.

ps: sorry if this is considered as self promotion or xposting but this issue has been reported on multiple threads..

Hi, i had the same problemen as you all, but i solved the problem by remove all the dust from the input of the charger connection from the phone. I think that the dust was maken some kind of shortwire and that that was the reason for it to turn on the screen, after i cleaned all the dust from the charger point in the phone, my problem seems to be solved. Can some one else confirm this?

I happen exactly that, how could you fix it?

Had the same Galaxy Nexus problem with the display switching on sporadically or turning back on seconds after the phone was manually switched off. The display was the number one consumer of energy due to energy statistics even without using the phone. Bluetooth, GPS were disabled and no special apps were running on the phone.
Hint:
The battery statistics graph's detail view logged charging events although the phone was not connected to a USB charger/port. The display was logged as active parallel to these events. So basically the phone thought it was connected to a charger and switched on the display which it normally also does, but since this charging status was repeating over and over, the display wouldn't turn off by itself.
Yesterday, I examined the USB port with a magnifying glass in bright light and noticed quite some fuzz build-up in the port. Otherwise the port looked good and not oxidized or damaged. So I removed the battery and cleaned off the fuzz from the micro USB port. I used a thin thread to loosen the felt-like lint which took me quite some time. Vacuum cleaner didn't work well. Compressed air might be helpful.
What shall I say: The phone charged very well and behaved normal the whole day without any unusual drain and NO pseudo charging events in the battery statistics!
Should this success not persist, I will report ...
