I have caused water damage to my IPhone 4s. Can I get my pictures back?
What happened: …
I dropped my phone in water and when I took it out it was still working. I put it in rice, about 8 hours later I tried charging it because it wouldn't turn on. All saw was the apple logo that kept rebooting about every 30 seconds. My pictures and videos aren't backed up on photo stream. 2 hours later I put it back in rice. It is still currently in the rice. Its been 33 hours since I dropped my phone in water now.
Answer 'm looking for:…
My phone's power button is jammed so I can't turn it completely and I tried charging it, so the damage is probably already done. I'm not asking if my phone can be fixed. I just want to know if I can get back my pictures, videos, and contacts.
In addition to Fatefinger's answers… No back-up = no recovery…
smartphones and tablets are no permanent storage devices… As you now know from this reality check
You can try connecting it to a computer and see if it will be recognized but if it isn't then you're out of luck.
- Why don't Climate Change Supporters care at all about the massive environmental damage caused by our ballooning population? CO2 is comparatively simple to eliminate than giving up iPhones because they require rare earth metals; and it isn't like our consumer waste just disappears when we throw it away. We can destroy as many habitats as needed… Exterminate as many species as needed so we have room for more housing, factories, and other disgusting human creations.
- What could have caused my iPhone to shut off & stop working? I was listening to music, unplugged it & the whole phone shut off. Nothing works. I've never dropped it in any water before. It's been dropped but I think everyone's phone has before. It always had a case on & there were no shatters ever. It was in new condition. I have no idea what happened. Also will apple replace my phone if i still have warranty or will they just send it back broken.
- Sound problems on my iPhone 4S, what caused it? Yesterday night I was trying to watch a YouTube video and the sound on my phone wasn't working. This morning, I set an alarm and went off fine. Now, the sound isn't working again. What's the problem? And when I press the volume buttons, it doesn't do anything!
- Iphone water indicators not pink, still possible water damage? Hypothetically, if you got your iphone 4s wet, but the water indicators are not triggered at all, is it still possible the phone has water damage on the inside that apple would find if they took it apart?
