ok i was running eclips 1.3 steel

i went boggin (aka muddin) and well i was using my phone while my hands were not dry or clean for pics and videos

i started to notice it freezing of the cam. i was thinking it was the rom

later after boggin

texting became very diffucult the phone keep hitting the #2

hard restart after hard restart it did not clear up

now that was friday.

it was messed up the whole week end.

i reflashed a back up thinking it would help not at all running stock 748 now.

ROOTED

now the phone is running fine but i want to send it back

the reason why is the super amoleded screen SCRATCHED.

kinda odd cuz u cant scratch it.

any idea on how to chek to see if theres any water damage in the phone?

i can take it apart i have done it b4 i just need to know what im looking for.

it was fun:)

It is the white strips and red X's ;)

Looks like this...

I've never checked whether it is white and develops the X's when it gets wet, or if it has the X's and turns solid red when wet.

Its been a long time since I've had a water damaged phone. :P don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm sending back my phone for a warranty replacement due to a faulty 4g radio, should I fast boot and send it back? I'm rooted with safe strap.

If you have tested it out and have fully verified that it is a problem with faulty hardware, that would be the standard approach. I'd toss in a factory reset as well after the fastboot, but it isn't necessary usually.

Got a new sim card, factory reset, and wipe the caches, Verizon rep said they'll ship me a new phone. So can't wait to get it. I'm waiting for it to be stuck on .85 lol. I might get my unlimited back because the rep I talked to on the phone was very nice and I was too, but she said she'll submit a form for me because it was wrongfully taken off. I just wounded what's going to happen since I'm getting a replacement anyway if the unlimited will come or disappear again. So I don't know what to do.
