What do you do after dropping your iPhone in water?
My phone was fully submerged in water?
Ok it depends how long ago it happened but put it in a bag of dry rice and leave overnight. Sounds stupid but it soaks the water out of it!
TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Stick it in a ziplock bad filled with rice. Then you pray to the gods above it can be saved.
Put it in a bag or rice and let it sit for a day. The rice will absorb the water or you can place it on a air vent with the air on to dry it
Put it in a ziplock bag full of dry rice.
I had the same problem too with my iPhone 5. I got completely submerged in water. Take off your case and turn off your phone. Then put your phone in a bag/jar of dry rice. Rice absorbs moisture better than almost ANYTHING else. Have the phone completely submerged in the rice and seal the jar/bag. Plastic bags work the best. You should leave your phone in the rice for a few days, maybe even a week. Your phone may smell a little weird, and you may have some rice bits in your audio/charge jack but its nothing difficult to remove.
Get an Android. If you're fond of dropping phones in water, get the Galaxy S4 Active -- it's water proof.

- Unresponsive screen after dropping it in water? So i dropped my iphone 4s in water. I tried to turn off my phone immediately but i had to eventually hard shut down my phone since the screen already stopped responding to touch. So i put it in rice and 5 days later, everything works fine except the screen. The screen turns on and is clear but does not respond when i touch it. Basically making my phone useless since i can't unlock it. Anything i can do?
- Sound doesn't work on iPhone 5 after dropping it in water? I dropped my iPhone in the bath when it was in its case. The case covered everything except the screen. I've done this before with my old iPhone but that was playing up constantly afterwards and then broke. The only thing I've noticed this time is that the sound has stopped working it says the volume but I can't hear it. I've tried turning the "ringer" on and off but nothing. I've turned it off and back on again but still nothing happens
