Has anyone ever dropped an iphone in water and its worked again when its dried out?

I dropped my iphone down the loo! Will it work again when it has dried out?

Mine took a swim in a pool. Did the rice thing as described by Wjosten above. Got the phone back up and running but lost some pixels on the screen.
Just know, there is a moisture sensor inside the phone. If you go to the Apple store and they run a diagnostic, the phone will report back that it's gotten wet, thus nullifying your warranty. Doesn't take much for that Sensor to be activated. A good, sweaty workout at the gym gets it's going... Oh, that's if you workout with your phone in your bra, but that's a story for another time. TMI?

HT5622 A month ago I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except for the signal it always says "searching". Can you help with this problem?

About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?

It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

I dropped my iphone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge...

I dropped my iPhone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge... I know its probably fried and I need it repaired but is there any possible way I would be able to save the information that was on it. Pictures or videos? Most of my pictures were saved on my i Cloud, but some information had not been uploaded like my videos.
Does apple provide any sort of recovery services?
Thanks

Hi jesusdeloera,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If your iPhone was being backed up to the iCloud or iTunes, you will be able to restore from that backup and recover the data that was on the device at the time of backup once you have your iPhone repaired. Please review the attached information about iCloud and iTunes backups.

Has anyone ever had their Iphone 3GS jsut shut off repeatedly?

My Iphone 3GS has begun shutting off for no apparent reason. I can be surffing the internet and have sufficient battery and it will just shut off. Has anyone else experiences this?

I'm sure there are people who have had this problem. I haven't however. But I don't see how finding that other people have had the problem will help you fix yours.
A Restore with iTunes may fix it. If it doesn't do the Restore again and do not reload your backup. If that fixes it the backup is corrupt.

I dropped my Iphone in water and the on/off button stopped working, how do I fix it?

I dropped my phone in some water and it was only in there for about two or three seconds. I grabbed it and dried it straight away and made sure to get in all of it, and it was fine, everything worked. But about an hour after the on/off button stopped working, so i have to use the home button to unlock it and have to wait for the screen to turn off after 1 minute of leaving it. I cant turn it off and dont know how to fix it. Will it go away on its own, do I have to send it off to get fixed? This literally happened like two hours ago, and my phone is a bit more than a year old. Can anyone help me?

Make an app;ointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. You can get an out of warrnty replacement for an iPhone 4 for $149.
If you had just done it, the advice would have been to shut it off and put it in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a week. Unfortunately, since it's been powered on for several hours, since then, it may have been permanently damaged. You can try the rice trick, but be prepared to pay for a replacement at some point down the road.

I dropped my iPhone 5 in toilet, it worked again, but a week later is doesn't anymore.

A week ago today, I dropped my iPhone in the toilet. The bottom half was submerged. I took it out immediately and tried to dry it. I had to get to class so I wiped it and put it face down in front of a fan on a paper towel so it could drain. I went to class for an hour and half then got rice from the store. I rushed back and put my phone in it over night. The next day, I plugged it in and it began to charge again. I had some issues the first day with the touch capabilities working sometimes and not other times. After that day, it worked fine again, except the regular camera and flashlight do not work. That didn't really matter to me as I am upgrading in a few months and the front-facing camera still works. The phone turns off near 20% battery, which is not too bad. Now, today, my phone died around 9%, but I didn't notice for awhile that it was dead. I plugged it into my laptop, but the phone charger was starting to rip. I thought that was why it wasn't charging. Then, I used another cord and it still did not charge. My two roommates each tried to get it to charge and both dropped my phone on the floor (Not sure if that has anything to do with the problems I'm having). I let it sit then plugged it back into my laptop. The battery picture with the red line showed up. I let it stay plugged in for about half an hour to come back to a phone with still a black screen. It was very hot so I unplugged it. I let it sit then retried again. The battery picture has not come back and it will not respond to charging from either an outlet or laptop. Not sure what to do or what is causing this. I read online that people used the "hard restart" with the home and lock buttons, but it is not working. I think it may be from dropping it in the toilet and falling on the floor, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Or at least get it to charge?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. ASAP.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

Has anyone ever replaced the iphone 4 dock connector

i have an iphone that is 35 days old and somehow the charging port is messed up. the store wants $ 160 to turn in claim and we did nothing wrong to the phone. has anybody bought the $15 part online and changed this out themselves? it looks easy on utube but am tired of throwing money out the window.

If your iPhone is 35 days old it is still under warranty. You can call Apple Care if you're not near an Apple store to send you in a mailer.
If there is truly a manufacturing defect, your phone will be replace free of charge.

Has anyone ever had an iPhone freeze on them?

My iphone 5 froze on me twice since installing the 7.1 update. It happens in the lock screen. the pull-up that shows Airplane, WiFi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, Lock Rotation will only give me about a quarter inch up and no further. All other functions stop such as pulling down that bit of the pull-up, swiping sideways to put password in, etc. My old crappy Samsung products used to freeze all the time.
Turning it off then on again does correct the immediate problem BUT.....
Is this a glitch with 7.1?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Has anyone ever had an iphone delivered damaged?

if i phone them up and say the iphone4 came with a small dent in the phone - will they believe me?
im telling the truth ofcourse..
anyone had to send one back for refund before?
i had it delivered thursday - of course they may ask why have you taken so long to contact us?
any suggestions?

not to start anything, but you just answered your own question. they will ask you how come you are just now calling instead of when you received it. anyway, you have 30 days to return for a replacement. so you should be covered.

Has anyone ever had a problem with usage calualtor not working, got a data over charge

Been keeping track of my data usage from the general folder in settings. This past month I went over 3G's and when I tally up their recordings to mine it does not add up. Anyone else notice this problem.tks

If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

My companies address, telephone number and map marker is still wrong and has been for nearly a year now. I've reported it numerous times.

Has anyone ever heard of their iphone 5s randomly being bent

i only got my iphone 5s less than 15 days ago. and tonight i took my case off it for about 30 minutes while i was laying in bed, so i did not drop it or have water damage or anything. but when i went to put my case back on my phone, it did not fit. my phone was bent. i read online that this has happened to a couple of people. does anyone know anything about this? or what i should do?

"what i should do?"
Make an appointment to speak with an Apple Genius. I'm sure the Genius will be as amazed as I am about the spontaneous bending of your iPhone.
