My phone got wet

[ivannikolov83]

I have the phone for 3 days. Several hours ago i tried to "show off" and cleaned my phone in the kitchen sink in front of my friend. After an hour I noticed that the proximity sensor was not working. On a close look i noticed moisture in the proximity sensor window. I'm really sure I've closed the covers properly. 

P.S. When I look in the headphone jack I can see a light from the screen. Is this normal?

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*-service tests-proximity switch.Does it still work?

[ivannikolov83]

No. I've tested this. Just reset my phone but the proximity sensor is still not working. Plus - the moistureis still there.

Stop by your local sony centre:

Maybe it just needed some time to dry. Refrain from using a blower, though.

Waiting for the moisture to go away helped 

I'm really disappointed. Being water/dust proof was a big selling point to me. Maybe the problem is just with my unit but ... I'm still wondering if I should keep it or return in to the retailer and ask my money back.

Put it near a dehumidifier, so moisture will be absorb however it is very disappointing to know that Sony fails in the humidity proff section

This device is not water proof

It's just a BIG LIE

It's only a question of Luck when you buy it... 

I've had mine dead the first day !!  Only a simple picture under water, and the device is dead.

SONY simply says: NOT COVERED because it's wet

What the **bleep** does this mean ?  It's water proof of not ?

Definitelly it's NOT, because it's not warantied if you get it wet.
