Water Damage Indicator??
I have an LG 9900. On the back of my phone is a white sticker with prominent, very dark pink/purple X's. On the back of my battery is a white sticker with very small, very light pink X's. How do you know if your phone has water damage; what will these stickers look like? I am worried because my phone's sticker looks a lot different from my battery's, and I'm not sure what they would look like if my phone got into water. My phone got splashed, but not totally submerged. Thank you!

The indicators would be completely red. no white at all. Sometimes the red even bleeds off on to the back of the phone. as long as the Little x's are still there you should be good to go.
Although to be 100% sure take it to a corp store and have a tech look at it. They will inform you as well.

it doesnt just turn red as well, you wouldnt be able to see the purple x's it wouldnt be red the motorola phones turn red, the lg phones when the l.d. indicator is tripped are white with pink bloches on it, but i agree with vzw-csr21 take it to astore and have a tech evaluate it, and give you your options

also check your charger port for any signs of corrosion. ITs more difficult to see on the newer ports but usually you can see a hint of green where there shouldn't be.
it's important to note that those indicators are just that, indicators. They do not prove the phone has gotten wet. If you combine the indicators with corrosion or other known water damage related problems (certain keys not working, foggy screen, charging problems, etc) thats when the warranty is voided. The techs aren't supposed to go on the indicators alone anymore.

I appreciate all the replies. That was the funny thing. The pink/purple x's on the phone are huge and look like they bled a little but not a whole lot and on the back of the batter is very small and light....similar to my wife's new phone. It has only been on my hip in hte rain so was concerned when I saw that one dot that looked like it bled.....hopefully it is ok and i will get it checked....shouldn't be THAT fragile! Thanks again...any further thoughts please post..
