[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] massimo51:
I'm so mad. I baby my phone. If i'm guilty of anything, it's cleaning my phone all the time to keep my fingerprints off of it. I polish it with a small cloth that i keep in my pocket almost all the time. I recently discovered i have newtons ring on my phone, took it into sprint and the tech refused to do anything about it because my water indicator was red. If i would've known about these water indicators at the point of getting my touch pro2 i would've been more careful not to get my sweaty hands on it. Shy of spray cleaner making contact with it at some point or another or my hands touching it because of all the times i had to pull out the battery due to it freezing, it was never near water. Heck my girlfriend gets mad at me because i pay more attention to my phone sometimes than her. This is so ridiculous. I wish there was a compound that could be placed on it to reverse the effects, or even replacement water indicator tape.

Actually, upon reading this thread I decided to do a search, and on my initial search i found this. It almost seems to good to be true tho and I don't know if it's the same thickness as what is on our phones, but it's weird because it came up as selling for $0.00 on their website plus delivery. The deal looks so good though, I'm honestly scared to purchase it. I usually only make purchases from known websites like amazon, but if someone wants to try, then go for it. Just please let us know if it did the trick.

I'm attaching a pic at the bottom of the find as well. I found it while researching some of the replies I read on this thread.

It seems like a lot more than what we would obviously need, but if it was legitimate, than i'd say it's worth the delivery fee vs $100 replacement fee in my case with Sprint through Asurion. Granted it's probably fraud, but Al Bundy had a good old saying in Married with Children when he won the old man track race. "It's only cheating if you get caught". At least for the case here in the states, it really doesn't seem like we're gaining much ground on this with our service providers. They see the red tape, and they say nope your screwed. So unless, we collaborate some kind of class action lawsuit against HTC and it's retailers, I don't think we're going to win this one on an individual basis.

The fact that HTC is choosing to put the water indicators in varying locations on the touch pro2 depending on your provider and geographic location demonstrates a serious lack of consistency. It seems almost random, as if though, they flipped a coin to decide where they were going to put the water indicators.

If I never had to open the back end of my phone, i wouldn't. But occasional freezing due to software glitches right out of the box and the fact the SD Card Slot is in the same location (as opposed to my Titan which had it on the bottom), requires me to do so.

I think there's enough people experiencing this headache, that it really should be petitioned as a class action lawsuit. If the techs at sprint could actually be techs and take apart my phone they'd discover that all other water indicators are still fine and that there is no water or moiture as they presumed in my phone. But as it stands, they won't even go beyond popping off the back cover because they see a little red tab (that is an apparent end all to your warranty). This is what I pay insurance for, just ridiculous. :mad:
