Phone was on the table in the sauna, next to other phones. A couple of times and shot phot video Swimming pool. After a moment he saw the condensate. The phone works on still normal. After a time, he passed out and is no longer included. SD below the door and the sim, stripes red. At the same time, signs of water were found. But dripping on plugs from the back side had.

I think steam is still capable of penetrating the housing rubber seal, since it is in a gas form. The seals are made to prevent water breach, not gas :) Lessons learned for all of us, no? Never bring the phone to the steamy and hot place..

Hope I can get that phone next week in Indonesia *fingers crossed*

I get that steam will be able to get into the phone, but...
That would mean that you also can't take a shower with the phone, unless you only shower with cold water.

And if I do remember, Sony said that you were allowed to shower with your phone:confused::silly::rolleyes:

fixing condensation in a phone

Phone was on the table in the sauna, next to other phones. A couple of times and shot phot video Swimming pool. After a moment he saw the condensate. The phone works on still normal.

I think that the phone died because of temperature which lead to condensation..
Condensation can kill any electronics (not camera lens).

I've tested the phone and yes, i've got some condensation too on the front and back camera after throwing the phone for over 30min into a tank with cold water - this was for testing purposes, the room was warm.

To fix the condensation, turn the phone off, open all the flaps and put Your phone in a box filled with rice. Close the box.
Mine took 4h and the condensation was fully gone...You can also try silica bags - can be found in shoe boxes.
