Vodafone: How to fix water damaged charging port?

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 18:36:43 -0700

In December I had bought a Moto G2 which I adored so much I showered with it and it fell in. I rescued it and it worked fine and everything, instead of drying it out properly I used it and put it on the charger overnight which must of fried the insides of it. RIP. Yesterday I went to the beach with my brand new Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and what happens with my luck? (or stupidity)... It falls into the ocean and gets completely drowned . Great :) I immediately turned it off and let it sit in the sun for a few hours while I swam and enjoyed a few beers. I assumed it was dry so I turned it on and everything worked fine. When I got home I left it in rice overnight and then charged it up till around 50% and I took it with me on a walk. By the time I got home I wanted to charge it some more and now its not charging past 18%. When the phone is on it wont charge at all, but when I turn it off and plug in the charger it blinks the charging light. Does this need a shop fix? Or is there something I can do myself to make it charge? Help please ! My dad can't know about this yet, I have spent $550 on new phones in one month! And there isn't a way i'll be splashing out for another one

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016): Volume down is key not working as well as Safe mode problem

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 17:03:29 -0700

My device Samsung Galaxy A5 (16) mobile phone's Volume key down button malfunctioned (it wasn't physically broken), sometimes it would randomly decrease the volume of my phone all the way to silent unless I press the Volume up key. When I restarted the device it got stuck in Safe mode and the volume down key would not work. I sent it for repair to the customer service, but when I received the phone they told me that due to a fault in motherboard my device can't be fixed (I didn't have Warranty for a replacement). After receiving my device from customer service, when I booted my phone it didn't show the Samsung logo instead it showed "Android is starting" with a loading bar below, as well as It was out of safe mode and my data was intact. The random decrease in volume would still occur though (and after a while the volume down key stopped working). Recently my device was restarted due to a software update and it is again stuck in Safe mode and the volume down key would not similar to the first situation.

So is there any way to get my device out of Safe mode without losing any data like the mechanics from Customer support did? I don't care about the volume key as long as I can get my device out of safe mode.

Thanks

Alcatel One Touch Idol 3: Why won't my phone connect to the Wifi?

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 08:15:56 -0700

Recently I have been having trouble with the wifi connectivity of my alcatel one touch idol 3. I have Wifi at my home, but my phone only has one wifi bar and is very slow on it. However, my fiance has the same phone and it works perfectly fine with all wifi bars. My computer and other devices connect and work just fine with the wifi. At my work, my phone says that the wifi there is "Saved" but won't connect to it. I have reset routers, rebooted my phone, taken out my SIM card and put it back in, and have done everything I can. I'm about ready to give up. I just got this phone in October.

A few days ago I dropped my phone and now my camera refuses to focus. Even on manual mode when I try to adjust the focus it stays at a constant macro focus- everything is always blurry!

Any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried replacing the rear housing but that didn't do anything.
