    I forgot to mention that neither of my sensors have been “tripped” yet my headphone jack is still messed up. Although, it’s not messed up like yours. The left earbud of all the headphones I try doesn’t work. I’ve cleaned it and rebooted, everything.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    My iphone works fine on speaker phone and hands free but I can not talk on it like a regular phone. The Michigan Ave Apple Store told me it was due to moisture, too! Hmm, maybe zipped into the inside pocket of my ski jacket while skiing got it too wet? It is three months old. Apple should find a way to protect the inside a bit better with some sort of plug or say it is for inside use only.

    I too have had the same issue with Apple and the whole moisture indicator problem I also keep my iphone in the bathroom with me. I never dropped it in water or touched it with wet hands. Apple told me that my 5 month old iphone’s warranty was now void and that i have to pay $399 for a new phone. When we buy the iphone we already pay them alot of money, have to stick with at&t for 2 years and have the data plan for 2 years. I am really disappointed with apple for their lack of customer service and refusal to fix/replace the iphones.

    My headphone jack started acting funky too, however Apple told me that I had to send it in, and pay as well.

    Glad to hear (well, sorry actually) that other people are having this problem as well. My phone has never been wet or dropped in water or anything. So this is quite unreasonable.

    Hi Korban, actually there was no reason for me to let my phone lay out and dry since it was never wet as I stated in my post. Or was that just a general comment for wet iPhones??

    You may succeed in letting it dry by itself and working again, but you won’t be able to stop the corrosion. A liquid damaged cell phone must be cleaned inside before being dried. Corrosion is ugly stuff, it becomes rust. Think of it like cancer, eating at your phone guts. Getting your phone wet started it; the moisture in the air feeds it; and every time you power up your phone, you’re driving it closer to its grave. Take it to a local cellphone repair shop and have them do a thorough cleaning inside the phone and its components.
    I took it to a repair shop in Dallas. http://www.onsitecellularrepair.com
