Dropped iPhone 5 in toilet

My iPhone 5 fell into a toilet and was completely submerged. The phone was on when it dropped and stayed on the lock screen. It was probably completely submerged for a few seconds (probably from my shock) before I pulled it out. It wasn't on silent when when I swiped to unlock the phone, I didn't hear noise. I shook it to get water out of the bottom port, speakers and headphone jack and dried it off with a towel. After doing this I was able to get sound out of the speakers when I swiped my phone and played music. It sounded almost normal. After a few minutes of struggling, I got the case off to further dry the phone. At this point the phone was still on (at 11% when it was previously at 13%). Probably about 4-5 minutes after I dropped it, I got a phone call from my sister. I was able to answer the phone call, but I wasn't able to hear her through the ear piece speaker. If I put the phone on speaker however, I could hear her. I ended the phone call and put the phone in a pot of uncooked rice. My sister later told me at home that my voice was somewhat muffled so I'm assuming that was from the water. The phone has been in the rice ever since, for about 4-5 hours at this point. I plan to leave it in the rice for about 48 hours. Is there any possibility that my phone will work? Since all the features were working on the phone besides mainly the earphone part, is it possible that everything else would at least continue to work? Any suggestions on what could be done to help in the process or after taking it out of the rice?

Nah, i don't like beggers.

Well its good you put in rice. Just make sure its taken completely apart (take the battery out and put everything in rice) leave it in rice over night. Then when you take it out see if its dry all the way. If it is put it back together and leave it off for the day.

There's a chance. Slim chance though. Do NOT mess with it. Messing with it can make the water travel into the wires.

  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet.what should i do? I dropped my iPhone in the toilet last night at 3 a.m. And i put it in minute mexican rice for the time i was asleep. My lock button and speaker won't work and it randomly just turns off and i can't turn it back on. I went and got white rice this morning and it is currently sitting in a bowl with the white rice. What do i need to do?
  • I dropped my IPhone in the toilet, and now my home button doesn't work? 2 days ago I dropped my IPhone 4 in the toilet, and pulled it out right away. I dried it off quickly and it was perfectly fine and nothing was wrong. But then last night, my home button started to not work unless I pressed it 10+ times… I have the accessible touch thing on, but I was wondering if could fix this myself?
