How to dry out an iPhone 4S? - 1
Okay around 5pm tonight, my iPhone fell into the sink (stupid I know) I didn't realize my top pocket wasn't closed. It fell in and it was in the water for at least 1 minute, I took it out, dried it and removed the sim card and dried that too… My mum put on a tissue and set the phone on top of that and put them both on a radiator, around 6.30pm, I started getting messages and alerts, so the sound is back and working fine, when I use the button - I can feel it vibrate, so the sound is deffo fine. But the screen isn't working. So there's no screen but sounds.
Should I leave it on heat for another while? Or am I screwed?

Blow dry on a low setting for ten minutes or so an let it sit for awhile. Check the water damage indicator to see if there's any hope. Make sure to not turn on your phone for at LEAST a few hours.
- Will the dry rice method still work for an iphone if it has been switched on? I dropped my phone in water and immediately took it out, dried it and turned it on to see if it worked. The phone worked but there was no sound so i googled what to do and i found the dry rice method but it said that you shouldn't turn on your phone but i did (maybe for ten mins?) so i turned it off and put it in a bag full of rice. Will the sound go back to normal because i turned on my phone? Should i put in the bag of rice with the back removed and battery exposed then?

- Will my iphone 4 dry out after i dropped in the toilet? I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet and i immediately grabbed it out. It was on for an hour, now it won't come on? Will it dry out i've had the phone for two years and it is the first time i've dropped it in the water? Will it come back on? I'm due for an upgrade soon, but i really like this phone.
