I dropped my iphone 4 in water and it still works?
Okay so I dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet for about 2 seconds and I took it out (the water was clean) and then I put it in some rice. It was working fine when I put it in the rice like it still turned on and the screen did not have any water damage. It's been in the rice for about 7 hours and it has been vibrating because of texts and notifications through out the day. Do you think it is safe if I take it out of the rice now?
Eff me
No telling, but you should have turned it completely off as soon as possible - damage occurs when you continue to operate a wet electronic device.
A full rice drying treatment can take 2-3 days.
You're gonna want to leave your phone alone for 2 or days that way you know for sure everything internally is dry and it doesn't short circuit any buttons on the phone
You want to risk it? DO YOU Really WANT TO RISK IT? Are those messages so important that it's worth losing your phone? Then go for it.
I work at a cell phone store and have seen many of wet phones work again. What you need to do is take it into a cell phone repair store and have them do an acid wash on it to get rid of the corrosion that has started. If it is working now, great, you have time, but you need to stop the corrosion before it eats up the circuits. Costs about $20-$40.

I dropped it in a bath for like almost 2 seconds and I turned it off, I put it in rice and waited like 10 hrs or so… It turned back on and works just fine.except my ear kind of hurts when I turn my phone on( which never happens when I turn my phone on) what does this mean

- I dropped my iphone on the ground in the rain and it still works, should I still put it in rice? It's been thundering the past week and I dropped my phone on my driveway. It was there for no more than five minutes and it works fine, I had it in rice for ten minutes (doubt it did any good lol) should I keep it in the rice if it works fine?
- I dropped my iphone in water for a second and it works and charges fine. Is it ok? I'm on vacation and don't have any rice or anything to completely dry it out but it seems fine… I'm just scared that it won't be… Help!
