Mobile phones are sensitive electronic devices and are not intended to get wet. If in the event you do get your phone wet, observing the following procedure will greatly improve your chances of recovering your handset.
Most phones have moisture indicators either on the battery or in the hole where the battery sits. It is usually a white circle or rectangle which turns red with moisture. If your phone is playing up, this is often the first thing a repairer will look. Liquid ingress is the worst and most common offender in failing mobile phones. If the moisture indicator in your phone is anything other than white you have had some form of moisture in the handset.
This is a curly one and will be used by any mobile phone manufacturer to void warranties. Liquid ingress can be caused by the obvious things like taking your phone for a swim, but also less obvious things like humidity, steam, sweat and condensation.
Batteries can be severely drained by using applications like Bluetooth.If you feel that your battery is not lasting as long as it should be, try turning off Bluetooth.
An IMEI is a serial number unique to your phone. Always keep a record of your phones IMEI. In the event that your phone is lost or stolen, you can provide your IMEI number to your service provider and they can block the IMEI, effectively stopping anyone else from using your phone.
