Iphone problems after water damage?

Dropped iPhone 4 in the toilet, put it in rice, after 8 hours it started vibrating in the bag.turned itself on and off several times, told me to connect to iTunes. It wouldn't let me restore it but it started working. The screen flickered a little and it will sometimes go to voice control. The home button doesn't work at all. I put it back in the rice and figured id leave it in there for another day or so. Is this the best method?

Wait 3 days if you picked it up immediately 7 if it was later; I dropped my iphone in the water 3 days ago and now I'm writing this answer on it

I have same phone. And rice? Is probably not gonna help i've never done that but the best thing to do in my opinion is to go up to the store you got your phone from and let them help you and be more careful iphones are expensive!

You can turn on the on-screen assistance under accesibility, which will give you an on-screen home button. (I use this because my lock button broke).

Here is the three step solution to your problem.

1) Hit yourself for being trendy enough to buy apple products
2) Recycle your iphone
3) Stop texting on your iphone while you go to the bathroom.
4) Send an apology letter to all the workers in China. They work for slave wages so you can carelessly through the fruits of their hard labor into your dirty toilet.

  • Will my iPhone still work after water damage? It fell into a bucket of water last night and I can't turn the phone off because the screen is black. I can hear the phone ringing and vibrating, but can't see anything. I put it in a bowl of rice, is this fixable? Will the screen eventually work?
  • Why won't my iPhone 4 charge after water damage? My middle button wasn't working either but I sat it in a bag of rice overnight and now it's working again, only problem is my phone won't charge. How can I fix that? It wasn't completely submerged a little bit of water just got inside the base piece.
  • Is it good that my iphone shows up on itunes after water damage? I put my IPhone 4s in a box of rice. After a day or so i pluged to my computer and it shows up but says its in recovery mode and needs a resore! What are the chances my phone will work?
  • 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?
