hi
Somehow the battery of my mini pro found its way into the washing machine and made a complete wash cycle in there
Is it save to put it in my phone to check if its still working or can it damage my phone?
The battery looks fine on the outside and i noticed there is nowhere a image on it that says "dont put in water"

first thing is make sure your battery have really dry yet
then if you dare, try it to your phone
as far as i know, some electronic things is safe to be washed
but before use it, make sure it really have dry yet (like motherboard computer, its safe if you washed it, of course it have been plugged out from the case then use it when it dry)
sorry for my bad english
Best thing to do is get a new battery.
I for one wouldn't risk putting a 20 euro battery in my 250 euro phone.
Admit defeat and get a new battery, or you might have to suffer the consequences of screwing up a phone. If a single droplet is between the wrapping, it will turn into "steam" when it gets hot, and your phone might suffer damage due to the water that will eventually build up.
After over 3 weeks of drying i just risked it and its working fine. The phone even report the battery as "good"
use rice to dry the phone or battery.

Out of the blue, for NO apparant reason, my display screen is suddenly full of "snow". The phone itself is working properly because I have the HDMI out cable and I can see everything working properly when I use my TV as an external display. While using the HDMI/external display, the touch-responsiveness is normal.
I did do one hard/factory reset, that did't fix anything. I get a similar screen when the phone is in the OFF position and charging (when you should normally just see the picture of a green charging battery icon.
I know this looks like the symptom of an impact or some other physical damage, but I take SUPER good care of all of my devices and there is no way that I caused any damage to it. Earlier today, I was using the phone and all was well then I put the phone in my pocket. About 3 mintues later, I pull it out of my pocket and this is what I see!
Has anyone seen anything like this? I bought this phone about 6 months ago from expansys-usa, so I assume it's under warranty, but if there's ANYTHING I can do here myself, I'd rather take care of it here.
I'm a fairly advanced ROM flasher and am pretty comfortable taking phones apart and getting them back together, but I don't want to open this one up if it will void my warranty with expansys/Samsung.
I welcome help/advice/thoughts.

Best thing for you to do if you've got warranty is flash a stock from specific to your product code like you got it. delete everything on your SD card related to Modding and get a replacement for your warranty. Looks like hardware problems

Hello,
First of thanks for even looking at my problem also excuse me for my bad english or when I missed a similiar thread with the same problem
Last friday I was keeping my galaxy s3 between my body and my sports pants/underwear. When I took it away there was a tiny little bit of moisture on the screen (sweat I guess). I wiped it of and continued using my phone. After a while the screen started to go pink and flikkering white in different brightness levels. I quickly turned my phone off and took the battery out. I left my phone on the boiler in a bowl of rice overnight (+/- 15 hours). When I turned the phone on again it worked fine but only my screen has a very low resolution now. The rest of the phones functions are working just fine!
Does anyone know how this problem whas caused, if it could be fixed by me and if it could be under warranty (Standard dutch warranty of 2 years, my water/liquid indicators in the headphone jack and behind the battery are still white and white with blue x's respectively).
This is how my screen looks now:

(It's less visible on camera in my opinion, hope you can at least see a difference to understand what I mean with 'lost resolution'.

Thanks in advance!
I'd take it into the dealer and show them - it should be fixed under warranty I think. I would not tell them about the moisture and to be honest I don't think that is the problem. I've had water splashed on my phone with no effects. Also, the screen is fused to the glass (which is why cracks are so expensive to fix - you're buying a new screen) so the moisture would somehow have to get inside the casing to affect things. It clearly hasn't done that if the indicators are not showing water effects.
Hi Guys
So, I had/have this very little insignificant problem (compared to what I have now) about my Amaze not connecting to my PC properly
So, I decided, since I have had some experience in disassambling "things", I thought I'd take a look inside and see if my USB port in the phone wasnt broken, fortunately it wasn't...
However I didnt think of testing another cable(very, very stupid of me), so I concluded that it was my cable ( i found that out by testing another cable only AFTER I had disassembled it)
But thats only where my troubles started, since I have had some experience on taking things apart I figured it wasnt a biggy but when I put everything together again:
Imagine this filling up the whole Screen (without the mouse cursor of course)

However, the device booted u fine, I could adjust the volume and actually hear the volume been adjusted, etc.
But the screen showed those pixels(I do not know what you call it when that happens, screen pixelating???)
The only thing I could think of is,
Where the black dot is, I thought it was a clamp so I (by accident of course) broke a piece of plastic off revealing metal wires, but the area of the proken off pice is no larger thean the middle of a pin head
I tried various ways, trying to figure out what caused this but I have no idea
btw. I also updated my 4Ext recovery to 1.x..x rc9 (latest release and did no restart after)
I am not sure what happened but ill probably pull an all nighter, trying to fix it (in some or other way)
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
p.s., please dont tell me Im an idiot for doing that, I know I am...it cost me $260...!
I woke up this morning sat up and grabbed my phone off my nightstand like I do every morning and dropped it instantly, it was extremely hot. I turned on the screen and saw that my batter was scolding 55c it's normally 27 - 29c when I check it throughout the day. I am really concerned about the longevity of my battery and phone. Was the battery hot enough to permanently damage any of the components? Is the battery safe to use or is it ruined? There doesn't appear to be any swelling.
This is the battery I have and the case I am using. http://www.ianker.com/product/70SMI9300-B1B72A/859

Wrong forum, check the very first thread.
Sounds like your battery is going to rupture, throw it away now.

Right, like i'm going to throw away a brand new $40 battery. :laugh: Where else would I post this? It's a Q and fits under Help. I also searched Google for at least an hour and couldn't find any good information pertaining to the safe temp range.
Like the man said you are in the wrong forum .
You have I9300 or not see sticky top of the page .
Test battery if it swells then do not use it .
Hello,
I've replaced my pocophone's battery (well, a few months ago) and basically I couldn't turn it back one ever again (tried putting back the old battery but it acts the same).
Video of what it is showing while plugged in: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZhQD1Yxk5NcEwjJe7
(it shows the same screen when trying to turn it on, but for a bit longer)
Battery type:

1 thing I can think of not doing ok while replacing the battery was that I tried to take out the plastic shield covering the motherboard, while it still had 1 screw in (it was the screw covered by the mi sticker and I just didn't realise it was a screw there), didn't apply too much force though.
I want to mention that I didn't use any anti-static wrist band.
I'm not expecting to fix it (even though it would be nice to repurpose it rather than having it as a brick) but learn anything I should've done better or what might be the final cause of death.
Hi,
I have the exact same issue on my Poco F1 after replacing the battery.
And if I reinstall the old battery the "empty icon battery" is still there.
Did you manage to solve the issue?
thank you.

Hi, unfortunately I didn't. Today I tried dissassembling it again, replaced the "new" batery with the old one, but still the same issue.
After the massacre, I decided to go with the poco f2 pro xD
