Dropped my phone in some water - obv the insurance don't cover if the phone has been wet - is there a sticker that shows its been wet? if so where is it and what color does it turn IF ITS BEEN WET - I know my treo had one and was just curious before taking it up to sprint... thanks

it depends, was there urine of fecal matter in the toilet it dropped? if it was urine it will turn yellow, if feces, brownish.

THE QUESTION is - IS there a sticker if so WHERE and what color does the sticker turn when the phone gets wet... Not sure whats hard about this question :-/

there probably is a sticker, most all phones have them now...in the past i've found that keeping the phone by a space heater (don't start a fire) for a couple hours can sometimes get around this. Actually after I dried it out with the space heater, my old phone (sanyo 8300) started working again...at least for a week or 2. You can also try putting it in rice for sometime.

The sticker is inside by the usb port, You can not see it without taking the phone apart.

Edit to add image, water damage sensor on the logic board, just below the Micro USB port, indicated by the red box.

TEP will cover water damage!

You will have to pay the 100.00 deductible though!
