G6 and Water Resistance

[Im Broken]

Re: Why are there small streaks of dead pixels on my LG G6?

Touche on the video. I'm also reading what their manual states and it says to not use pressure from a faucet so go figure on that.



15-20 psi is at the discharge of the faucet. The pipes see more.

You said leak proof, not submerge. :facepalm:



Common sense tells me to not get my phone dirty so I don't have to rinse it under sink often, even if the phone is rated to do so. It's an electronic designed to handle accidental spills and submerges.

Mainly my point is that you stated you rinse your phone often. Due to that statement, I am wondering if the phone will see water damage over time.

Anyways, back to topic to help the OP.

Damn, I just realized I'm "that dude" who derailed a thread. Maybe I need to start a new one about water damage.

Fast forward to 2:00 of this official LG commercial and tell me I wouldn't win in court or arbitration. LOL

I agree to disagree. If you think commercials are facts.. don't know what to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Its cool. All here who think I'm crazy can put extra screen protectors and huge bulky cases on their phones then put them in a Ziploc bag filled with desiccant to keep them in a 0% humidity environment juuuuust in case. I'll continue to use my thin fit case with no screen protector while I cover my phone in sawdust and concrete and give it a bath every night.

I haven't used a screen protector since the iPhone 3gs. never a single scratch and as you can tell I dont exactly baby my devices. I don't treat em rough but they go right in the pocket with the keys. Biggest scam in phone accessories imo.

I never put a screen protector on my phones.i loathe them. The only reason i have one on this is because i bought one for my wife and it came with two. Haha

Unfortunately you wouldn't because they specifically state this:

"Under conditions other than those certified, the internal liquid damage indicator will change color and void the warranty."

If your LDI is set off you instantly void the warranty. As long as they have that portion in writing they're covered. The certification is:

"Protection against water in complete and continuous immersion. Device* will withstand a complete immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Water temperature can vary from 15 to 35ºC."

While I believe you are correct with regard to LG declaring the warranty null and void, believe it or not small claims courts more often then not favor the consumer. I know because I represented my past employer many times in court and many times even when the consumer was clearly wrong the court favored the consumer because the courts like to protect the little guy. That said I would only expose a phone to water when needed which for me means accidental. I can't think of any time where I needed to hose off my phone.

Just a word of caution.... Be careful with keys near the camera glass. The slightest pressure with a small object will reak havoc.

I use my G6 phone in the pool, at the water park (Soak City, Buena Park CA), in the shower, and will use it in the ocean this Fall in Maui. So there! LOL

[Relax, people, it's just a phone...]

It's all fun and games. We love to agree to disagree here.

Thread Title: G6 Damaged by Salt Water
Started by "lightrules":

This is ridiculous, I took my G6 in the ocean and somehow salt water has damaged the phone. It wont turn on, wont charge, nothing. LG wont do anything to help me and now I'm stuck with this paperweight. I'll never buy LG again, Im going to Apple.

[Relax, people, it's just a joke...]
