This actually worked for me over a year ago when my phone fell in the sink... bag of rice does work... apple care does not cover water damaged iPhones, they'll ask you to pay full price for a new one
-
The best method is to use Hair dryer and dry out the water immediately before the water goes round the hardware.
What kind of bag of rice are talking about? -
It really doesn't matter. All rice absorb water like there's no tomorrow. If you've ever cooked rice you'd know by the amount of water you have to add to a single cup of rice to cook it. It's ridiculous.
-
The best thing in this case
Is to fry your iPhone with
Lemon juice and Roma
Tomato and serve it
With jailbreaking.com -
The next iphone5 will be
Waterproof
No worries any more -
I dropped my 3GS in water last year and tried this but unfortunately didn't work I still recommend it. If is unusable I'd still recommend taking it to apple, they said warranty doesn't cover water damage but offered me a "out of warranty replacement" it was $200 but they gave me a brand new 32gb 3GS which is a pretty good deal IMO.

This does work. I took my iPhone 3G swimming a month after I got it (got it on day of release) and didn't realize that it was in my pocket due to an herb induced state lol. Well, I found a bunch of articles online explaining the same steps and tried it out. Only, I also sat the bag with my iPhone & rice in direct sunlight to force the moisture out faster. Phone was up & running after 2 days with a some pixel damage. Backed up my contacts & repeated the process for another 3 days and it was working perfectly fine! Something else you can do is put silica packets in the bag along with the rice. They're cheap, I bought a bag with 100 for under $7.

it was a ziplock bag with rice if anyone is wondering.
-
I got pushed into the pool with my iP4 in my pocket two days after launch. Got out, powered it off, removed the SIM, unscrewed the two small phillips screws on either side of the charging port, slipped the back off (no glue no seal, just screwed on), drained/patted/blew as much water as I could out and sat it in the sun. An hour later it was fine and still going strong today.
Rice may work, but the iP4 is super easy to open up and air out.

I put my iphone in a bag of rice, seasoned it and put in in the microwave oven on high for 10 minutes, Not only did this fix my phone being wet, but also made an enjoyable snack. Thanks for the tip... :)
-
you mean like 2 to 1.....
-
lmao 2 times to 1 really vague attempted statement by I like rice.
-
Or try putting a blowdryer next to your I phone. Make sure simcard is taken out first and let it blow on your phone for 45 minutes that should work.
-
It worked for me :)
-
Did you use Ranch dipping sauce?
-
My friend got his 3g wet. He gave it to me because he didn't think it could be salvaged. I let it sit in rice for about 48 hours, restored it, and now it works fine. So I got a free phone. Pretty sweet.
