Just to let you know what's going on. It's actually pretty stupid, how much I have to go through just to test the device.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION!!!

Hey, my name is brandon and i have the same phone as that. the E71x. I went to the beach and I tripped on some rocks and fell in the water with my phone in my pocket. I looked up my phone and it's under warranty. THANK GOD!. But, I heard that ATT doesn't cover water damaged phones. I also heard that ATT opens up the battery cover, takes out the battery and sees a sticker? can you pleaase tell me if the sticker is white, im safe? wat color was it when you saw it?

@marquezbrandon Hi Brandon, To be totally honest I have no idea what color the battery sticker was. However everything I can find shows the sticker being white right off the bat.

Generally though the people checking the phone initially can't tell if it's water damaged or not. Only if they send it in to be checked will they for sure find it's water damaged. I would say just try to see what you can get done to replace it.

Hope this helped and good luck,

Thanks,

Oliver (lockerhaxor)

Technically this phone isn't meant for the GoPhone plan. I was told that upfront by the sales representative at the store. He said "It will accept the SIM card, and will run, but it's not designed to operate on a plan like this". He wasn't kidding, this thing would suck up money like nobody's business.

Oliver,

First of all download skyfire and load it onto the E71x.

Then go to Menu > Settings > WLAN Wiz.

Once you get to the WLAN wizard you setup your wi-fi connection and exit out.

Once completed go to Skywire and it will ask what connection you want to use.

As of right now I don't have the phone anymore. It was only a loaner for a few weeks to demo and test.

But I did try that at the time, and Skyfire REFUSED to see the Wifi, and instead burnt about $10 of my prepaid plan in about 1 minute.

@Brandon. for the sticker, after you take the battery out its on the bottom left corner and its just a little circle, If it's white, you're good to go. If it's pink is when its got water damage, I'm actually sending this phone to Nokia tomorrow for repair, for whatever reason my u button stopped working, just that one button. I've only had it about 4 months and it's been in a case since the first day, so I know it;s not from physical damage.

How do u disable the internet on the e71x ? So I can just use the wifi not the internet ?

if it,s white, then you have water damage. That's not true b/c i have the phone, I am still under my warranty and they are not charging me for it
