How water resistant is the Droid Turbo?

[Maven Rose]

we tipped our boat and it was submerged briefly. problem is it kept trying to turn back on over and over again. since the battery wont come out it fried it. definately not water resistant.

ditto. same problem

Re: Droid Turbo water resistance?

I was actually caught in a rain storm three days ago and my kids soccer game. Turbo was fine, no worries.

Earlier in the year, I was playing golf, again...got caught in a rain..no worries with Turbo in rain and drizzle.

Plus, I use it when I work out and sweat gets all over Turbo. So any splashing, spilled drinks, rain..the Turbo will be just fine.

I don't believe it will survive being dropped in the toilet though.

NOT TRUE!! I got some crap on the top of my phone and so I splashed some water on it to clean it off ( because it was sold to me as water resistant) I immediately dried it off and took it out of its case. Within an hour it started getting glitchy and by the end of the day it was dead. Talked to Motorola and explained what happened they had me send it in. A few days later they sent it back unrepaired and stated they voided the warrantee because of water damage. When I called at first they tried to deny that it is advertised as water resistant. They are not covering it. They would not give any answer on what water resistant means. I am very frustrated with this product. I went with it because the salesperson sold me on it being water resiatant.

It was always advertised as splash proof, not water resistant. The 2013 droids had the same feature and marketing.

Did you do anything special with your phone after dropping it in the bathtub or did you just give it time to dry out? Mine is working fine now except the volume. It either won't give me the notification sounds or it tries and cuts out during it off and on.

I've seen the ads and read about it being ok in a sudden rainstorm or average spill, but would it survive a drop in a bucket of water for 5 seconds? The usb port with no cover makes me think it wouldn't. I know it's not IP-spec (or whatever) like the Galaxy S5, but can water get in the USB port and not kill it? Tried looking up in the manual that was leaked, but strangely, no one captured the manual from the ftp site and now the linked manual on motofirmware.com/ftp doesn't exist.

I confirm that at least if it has ip65 certification since if I support 12.5L of water per minute (I do not think it holds 100L per minute that asks for the ip66 and I have no way to prove it v:
it also says not to submerge, so I do not think that I kept soaking it for 30m and I don't want to take a risk either) and the truth is that it will help me so that when the cell phone gets too hot I simply put it in a jet of cold water and I already have my liquid refrigeration xd
