Wet iphone problems, what to do?

I just dropped my Iphone into ocean water and I immediately placed in rice. I know I shouldnt turn it on but I did. It turns on but I can't touch the screen at all. Does this mean my phone is broken forever or is there a way to still save it.

also I know I shouldnt turn it on but is there a way to force close it. Seeing that I can't close it by using the screen

Ocean water contain salt, and can damage the inside components. You may need to have the phone serviced.

Put in rice, amy sister

This won't help to much… But i once dropped my phone in salt pool, i was told to take it apart and put it in the freezer for the night (apparently this stops corrosion.) My friend then put my phone in a bucket of absorbent beans or something and left in the sun (similar idea to rice thing.) This fixed my phone.
ps. My phone wasn't an iphone…
Try googling the freezer thing, they're sites on it

Mine went thrue the WASH once and the rice method fixed it!

  • What do i do if my iphone gets wet I recently dropped my phone in the toilet like 5 minutes ago yeah haha i know.

  • Wet iphone speaker problems? I only got a few drops of water on my phone but it got on the mic and speaker. When this happened i immediately tried to suck the water out of the mic but i believe i made it worse. The speaker is awful quality now so about 10 mins later i put it in a large bag of brown rice. Will this work? And how long do i have to keep it in the bag?
  • Rice not helping wet iPhone? I had my iPhone3GS connected to a car charger, and it fell into the cooler full of water without me noticing. It could have been in there for at least 5-15min. I got home and put the phone into a bowl of rice. It had been flickering with light, but now there's no light): it won't turn on and I don't think the rice is helping. I don't have a license so I can't go get alcohol to put it in): please give me other ideas): thank you)
  • My iphone got wet, what should I do? My iphone got wet and the girl at the AT&T store tried to turn it back on. Is there still hope for it or is it pretty much screwed?
