I've had the thing since it first came out, and it got slightly wet when I went to a water park (yeah I know dumb move, but I brought it along in case of an emergency). I proceeded to dry it off immediately, removed the case, popped the cover, made sure the battery was dry, and wiped any remaining water on it that would pose a threat. It seemed a little off at first when it wouldn't come on, but after pushing the button a few times it came on. I tested some of the apps and the seemed to work okay. So I put it away and went about my business. When I got home, I immediately let it soak overnight in a sealed container of rice, to help drain any other water that might be an issue. Again, on the following day I'd get random blackouts where I'd be using it, and the screen would go into a dim mode, and flash in and out of brightness. And each time it flashed, it got dimmer and dimmer until the screen goes black. The buttons below are illuminated, but the screen just goes black.
It happened again yesterday while I was playing the Spider-Man game, but after a reboot it was fine. It was somewhat hot yesterday, and my palms started to sweat a little while playing it, but not so perfusely that it soaked the device. This is probably the 5 time it's blacked out, and it just seems so random when it does happen. I have an appointment with Sprint this afternoon, so I hope their tech personnel can resolve the issue or just give me another phone.
It may inevitably come down to it getting wet that Saturday (June 25th), but if not, I must have really pissed someone off, considering my original box and the charger was stolen within 20 minutes of getting the phone, and now this. It's a wonder how I can keep a straight face without spontaneously laughing out loud in histeria.
