False water damage!?? WHAT DO I DO???
I am soooo screwed, guys.
You won't believe this story (and neither does Telus, which is the problem...) My phone got stuck in a constant reset cycle. Doesn't turn on without a wall power supply, can't get into bootloader either. I just got the thing a month and a bit ago so I figured I'd take it back to Telus, get it replaced. However, before I did that I tried a hard-reset. (the finger olympics) didn't work, but after i tried, i noticed a terrible thing..... I TRIGGERED THE WATER DAMAGE INDICATOR WITH MY SWEATY FINGER!!! The indicator's right on the side of the device, RIIIGHHHT where my (sweaty) ring finger rested in the Hard-Reset position. I am soo angry. SO, brought it to Telus, they say it's water-damaged, and my warranty's now void. i tell them my stupid story, and they don't give a flying poop. Call customer care, they say the same thing. It's a $700 brick and I'm furious. I'll be calling HTC and complaining about the stupid design (and try to get them to believe me) and I'm setting up a meeting with the manager of the Telus store. Help? I really don't want to have a $700 paperweight. Could've bought a new banjo for that much..... |

im with sprint, and i acually droped my tp1 in a very, very shallow puddle. literally just damp pavement. anyway, my indicator indicated and with my luck, my usb port went out a week and a half later. i took it to dprint, they just told me the outer indicator was not important. it just tells them to inspect a lil deeper. they opened it up, the inner one was fine, they replaced the phone as a manufacturer defective phone. im not sure about telus (was that who we were talking about?) but even with water damage, u can still get an insurance replacement for only the deductible if u have insurance.:twisted:

Someone one here received their phone with a bad water sticker (supposedly). I could see them getting triggered on a very damp/rainy day though, especially if you're outside a lot.

btw, the indicators are just stickers, as ive gotten insurance replacements w/o them. try to scrape it off with your thunb nail or something that wont scratch up the plastic. if theres any stickey residue under it left over, use a cotton swab with a lil alcohol on it. then take it in and play dumb as to why theres no sticker. |

I don't know how they can drill about 50 holes in the back cover and then expect that moisture will not get in there.
