Support NeoGAF

[Stabbing Robot]

I have a friend that sometimes has to get data off of destroyed phones as part of his job. He said even if this works there could be corrosion from water damage that makes the phone die after a couple weeks. They take the phones apart and air dry them.

 

[blame space]

The phone doesn't come apart. It's unibody to be more stylish like an iPhone (but better).

This is the best thing to EVER happen in any way related to NeoGAF.

You can hear water?

splashing around a little. felt it too... The only thing I wanted to do was to open the back but the htc one is like the s6 where it has that hard to open design because of no battery replacement.

My iPhone turns on.


But seriously, what is the need to say "flagship"? I really don't understand. What difference does it make?

are you being serious? I can't tell. This is the flagship Samsung we are talking about here.

How are people supposed to help if they don't know what kind of phone it is? duh.

I have a flagship droid. However there was neither an actual flag nor a ship. Much disappointment.

We're quickly closing in on 24h.

Good luck, man. Hope it works out.

My flagship Google phone can float on water. Does your flagship phone do that?

If Evilore ever makes a documentary about NeoGAF, I hope he hires you for the editing!

Flagships can take a bit of water unless they're called Vasa. Wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hey, that ship is our national pride, dammit! It almost made it of the harbor, not all ships can say that!

 

[Jazzy Network]

Its OK my flagship S6 is fine.

Power button is unresponsive. So I plugged it in (probably fried it right there). After I plugged it in the battery icon popped up, said it was charging at 99%. Immediately unplugged it and the camera flash started spazzing out. Now it's sitting in front of a fan.

The screen looked 100% fine on the battery charge screen. I probably just blew the whole damn thing huh

You might be OK. Let the power flow. I did that with my S3 whilst it was on the rice.

Some flashing to be expected

Keep it drying and give it a week before calling it.

Sounds like battery is fucked but mobo might still be fine. Is fixable, assuming that's the only damage.

Keep it plugged in? What's with that guy who has his S6 sitting in water for 20+ minutes anyway? Is he just lucky

OK I plugged it in in front of the fan. Do you think that's a good move?

Don't you have a mobile repair shop around your area?

The green LED on the front just started pulsing.

dude, you should have waited for several days before charging it

Fuck your rules darkwing. What's done is done.

 

[faridmon]

Why not call it a ''phone'' instead of ''flagship android phone''?

 

[hipbabboom]

Dear Mr. Space,
If there's anything I can do to help get your flagship operational then please let me know. I know how frustrating it is to have a gadget go through the wash because this happened to my fitbit a few years back. You go through a painful phase of regret wondering what you could have done differently to avoid it. To error is human Mr. Space so please don't blame yourself for this. If I can't help then please at least accept my prayers and well wishes. You're one of the strongest people on GAF and that strength will carry you through this. Respect.

The green light stopped.

Why would you put it in front of a fan? You probably killed it

Put it back in the washing machine on reverse

I unplugged it and the green light came back on. It's not pulsing now, it's lit constantly.

I don't know what's more exciting I/O or blame space.
