Honestly, I swap my batteries and soft reset all the time as well and my two stickers are perfect. I'm glad yours are fine and under any NORMAL usage they
would be fine.
These people with red moisture indicators are either careless with their phone or got it wet and don't remember/know how. Either way, I really don't see why people feel like Sprint should be responsible for their own irresponsibility with a piece of electronics. I seriously don't think its too much to ask that people be careful with their device.
Helpful Tips: <-- stuff that SHOULD be common sense
1) DO NOT pull the cover off your phone with wet/sweaty hands to the point that you'd turn the indicators red
2) In the event that you do remove the back cover simply DO NOT touch the stickers
3) DO NOT talk on your phone in the rain/drizzle/sleet/snow/ice/shower/bathroom/sauna
4) DO NOT just set your phone down on a surface before checking to be sure that its not wet.
(I am willing to bet money that this is the #1 cause of the belligerent people who SWEAR they never got the phone wet.)
