okay so i just looked at my storm i havent had any water damage what so ever now the little sticker by my simcard slot behind my battery door is red with a white stripe through it and my batter is white with a red stripe what does this mean?
yep when it turns pink that means you have water damage. The best way to beat that is to take the sticker off, and when the carrier says somethin about it reply "maybe they forgot to put in the phone, its not my fault that the phone wasnt manufactured the correct way" lol im a con artist lol
from reading another thread, the red one with a white bar is a tamper proof one to see if you have removed the screw behind it, the water damage sticker is actually behind the battery and is solid white, and will turn red if wet.
To the "con artist" up above, typically those stickers have a "warranty void if removed" policy behind them, since it is a sticker to protect someone from removing the screw behind it, you removing it is only going to void your warranty.
