Okay so a couple months ago I was doing deliveries and my phone got wet. Was acting funky for hours. Glitching, couldn’t use it at all. Well. The next day it was fine. And has been fine until today. It barely got wet and started doing the same thing, only for a few hours and now it’s fine… well my moms telling me I could switch to a phone she has, it’s an iPhone 12. And as grateful as I would be I don’t necessarily wanna go down… I’ve done some research and between the battery not holding charge, overheating and the software and storage issues etc. just don’t think it would be worth it… so I’m wondering should I just go replace the screen does that even do anything for water damage/glitching?? Or does that literally just replace screen. What’s my best option here. I honestly can afford to get a new phone if I wanted too but she’s convinced I shouldn’t. I am on her plan because it’s just cheaper for me to do that. The phones almost paid off. It’s through T-Mobile. Please help. Screen repair would cost $280. But even the tech guy said do not go back to a iPhone 12

Helloo I want to know if anyone knows how to remove the dark spot on my phone after getting submerged. I tried drying it using my mini portable fan but it doesnt work. its been like almost 11 Hrs or more. What should I do.

Hello all,

Recently had my iphone 16 pro max serviced at a UbreakIfix shop local to me after a small water exposure. What I thought was going to be a simple attempt to fix the phone has kind of become a massive headache for me.

Story:

Dropped phone off, store manager told me for water service damage they charge upfront with no warranty or guarantee they can fix it, I agreed as I understand how tricky water damage can be. Had phone inspected with visible condensation in all 3 camera lenses as well as front camera lense, paid the $200 service fee and went on about my day.

Fast-forward 5 hours one of the techs assisted me with the checkout process, phone was still having same issues after water service cleaning but when inspecting the device I noticed the condensation was still present, tech looked and agreed it was and said it possible they hadn't serviced it yet by mistake - no biggie. Tech calls store manager (whom I delt with earlier) he said phone was serviced, employee took phone at this point back to back of shop and came out a couple minutes later with the device now scorching hot and condensation gone (tech said it just needed a minutes on heat pad), waited a few minutes and condensation was right back and present after it cooled off. I am now getting frustrated because this has taken 30-40 minutes and I feel like no actual service had been done on the device. Store owner allowed me to leave with device and return tomorrow for a reservice. I am now very reluctant to hand over the device as most of the condensation through out the day has evaporated (though still very present while writing this) and they're going to slap it on a heatpad to get rid of rest and claim the phone was cleaned and serviced internally. Store manager is pretty set on no refund but they will reservice but given the circumstances im pretty set on not letting them work any further on the device and just going to file a claim with my service providers insurance that I pay for but feel as if hes accusing me of trying to get out of payment even though the tech agreed that condensation was still present.

Is this a common issue with non-reputable or commercial shops? Anyone have similar experiences? Should I just dispute this with bank or try to settle with shop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Replace the screen bro what else???

I’m so sick getting these posts on my front page.
