Hide Red dot on phone.?

Question

So apparently my phone has been exposed to too much humidity, and the indicator dot is completley red. Is there a way I can hide this or remove the dot and replace it with another dot from my other phone? Does anyhting happen to the phone if I rip the dot off. I have insurance, but I'm just curious.

Answer 1

The red dot is a "water sensor" so to speak.  When the sticker gets wet, it changes color.  Removing the sticker will not harm the phone but they may use it as an excuse to void your warranty.   I think too many people were abusing the warranty by turning in phones that are water damaged which is generally not covered under any manufacturers warranty in consumer electronics.   I once worked at a service center and declined many warranty & extended warranty repairs because of evident water damage.  Of course it's not intentional and accidents do happen, but I guess people should just be more carefull with their phones..
