pink button

About a month ago, I received a replacement Droid Incredible from Assurion after accidentally dropping my original in water. The replacement phone has started having the "reboot" issues I read about on this forum. Upon taking out the battery as recommended, I noticed that the inside "buttons" on both the battery and the phone were light pink. I swear I have not gotten this phone wet at all.

I have been extra careful not to get this phone wet after soaking the previous Droid. The closest this phone comes to water is when I put it on my bathroom windowsill while taking a shower. The window is on the far side of the bathroom and never gets any steam moisture on it. Has anyone had this happen to them? What happens if it needs to be replaced? They will never believe me when I tell them that I didn't get it wet - the buttons are pink.

I would not leave my phone in the bathroom while showering. Why would you need it while showering??? You may not see moisture on the window, that does not mean it is not present.

What, 'Buttons' are you speaking of?? With the back off, There is a VERY SMALL sticker to the upper right of the camera lens. Is this what you are speaking of???? When not wet it has an X pattern.

But I do not see that as the issue. Reboots sometimes are caused by a bad app or the SD card.

Yes it is the x pattern sticker. I guess" button" was a poor choice of word. I bring the phone in the bathroom with me because it is my only phone. I am a realtor and have to be on top of important calls, so I always keep it nearby.

If the phone is that sensitive to moisture, then I shouldn't be taking it with me when it rains either. That is crazy. I keep it in a case.

Forgot to thank you for the "bad app" or SD card thing. I'll check that out too.

Is the sticker still x patterned. If it is do not worry about it. I understand the need for getting calls , but if it rang would ya answer it while in the shower??? :smileyhappy:

Saunas are bad for cell phones also.

Look for a post someone had about reboots below this one, (Phone will not boot) I and others offer detailed ideas to eliminate the reboots.

Good Luck.
