I am so steamed right now! I was just disassembling my phone to clean out any dust and low and behold the pink striped sticker on my phone is red! my battery sticker is fine but my phone sticker is now 50/50 red and pink striped. Thats just terrific. Now if my phone breaks *again* I'm scewed. I am so tired of this phone ! I heard of this happening but thought that most people were just covering up things theyd done but low and behold I'm now sitting on a time bomb just waiting to explode leaving me out of a phone. Damn it all!

Just because the sensor is tripped doesn't mean you have water damage. It could turn by being in your pocket on a hot and humid day or in the bathroom while showering. Insurance and service technicians don't use just the sensors to determine liquid damage.

The problem is I'm on Alltel. When I took in my phone the first time, (Dreaded keyboard of death), the tech definitely took off the cover and looked at the stickers. Will they really deny me you think if my phone messes up again? There is NO liquid damage to the phone. There is no liquid or residue of any type on the phone. It's heavily babied. I'm going to be so steamed if they try to deny giving me another phone if this one messes up. This just isn't my day

If you go in and they try to deny you a phone and say that it has liquid damage without opening it up ask to speak with a manager and make them open it.

that water strip is SUPPOSED to be red and white stripped... that means water HASNT got to it

first post states that the pink striped sticker is now red, that would indicate that the sticker has come into contact with moisture according to how the post is written.

no, it says his phone sticker is 50/50 red and pink... thats how its suppose to be

**edit** actually it says it both ways LOL... OP, is it a solid color or red and pink like a checker board-should be this one
