I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet and i don't know what to do?

Earlier today i dropped my phone down the toilet, i had it on and playing music but it just completely turned off, so i tried to turn it back on again but then when it wouldn't i put it in a bowl of rice. But i just went and looked at it now and the back light is on and shining but it's really weak and dim in the dark? so im unsure of what i should do?

Leave it in a zip lock bag (not a bowl) of dry rice for a full week.
Do NOT turn it on or plug it in for a week.

I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet and now the touchscreen won't work?

I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet because I saw a spider on the seat and jumped, causing me to drop it down the loo. I fished it out and dried it off. The phone was on so I tried to turn it off so it didn't fry the inside of it. I held down the power button and the usual "Slide to power off" slider came up. I tried to swipe it and the phone wouldn't do it. I kept trying to swipe but it wouldn't let me and the screen started to do something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij7r2dyqBMg
It then stopped and stayed on the homescreen but slowly faded to a plain white screen and wouldn't do anything. I took out my SIM Card and dried it off because I didn't want it getting damaged. Then it turned to a black screen and once again did nothing, so I plugged it into my Macbook and it vibrated, indicating that it was being charged. Also, my iTunes & iPhoto icons started bouncing. The screen was still black so I unplugged it and left it on my bedside drawer to do whatever. About an hour or so later my boyfriend pressed the home button and the screen turned on, but it looked like a cloudy sky. It wouldn't do anything else so again, I left it for about an hour.
I then tried turning the phone on and the Apple logo appeared. The buttons work fine and the home screen with the date & time appeared, but the only thing that wasn't showing up was my screensaver, it is blurred out. I put my SIM Card back in and it says "SIM Faliure" on the screen & at the top where it usually says your network etc. (T-Mobile, 3G and all that) it just says "Invalid SIM" instead. Also, I can't use the touchscreen. I can't swipe up for the options or camera, I can't swipe to turn it off & I can't unlock the phone. I don't have any rice in this house as me & my father are allergic to it so there is no point in buying it.
It's a replacement phone & I've had it for less than three months. What else can I do? Also, there's a strange smell by the power button, but nowhere else on the phone.
Help? Thanks - Ellie xo

I think that we all know the answer to this one.
Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
The alternative is to Purchase a new device.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, and restore.
Have you tried these?

I dropped my iPhone 5S in the toilet and now the screen is not fully responding

So last monday i accidentally dropped my iPhone 5S on the toilet. I immediately dried it off and tried the rice trick. I left it there for 6 days til today it finally turned on. To my surprise, when it turned on i tried entering the lockscreen code but the letter "E" is not working, so i cant put the code in. The whole thing is so frustrating. I thought I'd try to restore the device but when I tried, iTunes told me I had to turn off "Find My iPhone" first, and I obviously can't do that because I can't unlock the device.
As if it couldn't go any worse, I am willing to pay the 260€ that Apple charge for fixing water damaged phones but i live in Tenerife, a small island that belongs to Spain and Apple said that the only way of them fixing it is me taking it to an Apple Store in Spain and I cant really travel and I really need my phone :/ Any solutions? Please?

There is something running in the background and I don't know what it is.

This is what I see when I click on "Window" abhtml_background_{776244c8-ba5f-4ee8-8b66-e4ca025f546a} except all of the letters are uppercase. It's a window for something I can't get rid of. It is only there when I run Firefox and restarting and emptying the cache don't get rid of it. I don't know if it is harmless or can cause problems. Can you please help me with this?
Thank you,
Lydia

IPhone 4s down the toilet :(

Please can someone help me!!!
I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet on Saturday night and I left it in a bag of rice since sunday morning. I just tried to turn it on and it will turn on, but it will not acknowledge me touching the screen (ie. it will not unlock or turn off).
Can I get it fixed or replaced by Apple?
I don't mind paying, but I need my phone.

Only Apple or an Apple authorised dealer can repair your phone for you, contact Apple for details of how to send it for repair.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and after drying it out for 3 days, it will turn on but turn itself off after several minutes

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

I dropped my iPhone 5s in the toilet last night, what do I do?

I dropped my iphone 5s in the toilet last night! I quickly grabbed it out. It had an otterbox defender on it, I dried it took it out of the case, dried it again and blew in the headphone jack, speakers, and charging port. I then immediatly put it in a ziplock bag of rice and left it overnight. This morning I took it out turned it on and it was fully functional (finger unlock, touchscreen), I didnt check the speakers though. The screen on the top left has a streak (about an inch long) that looks like water damage. I turned my phone back off and put it back in the bag of rice and Im planning on checking it again later tonight. Is my phone ruined or can I make it go away? Also, will my phone be okay in the long run?

There's no way to know how much damage was done. It didn't help that you took it out of the rice and turned it on... that may have permanently damaged it. Leave it off, in the rice for several more days... you might get lucky.

I dropped m iphone 5c in the toilet!!!

I dropped my not even one month old iphone 5c in the toilet and the screen, home, and power buttons are unresponsive. I already put it in a bowl with dried rice. If that doesnt work, how much would it cost to replace it?

$269US, unless you had Apple Care+ which would allow for two replacements in the coverage period for a $79 fee. Prices depend on your location.

I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead. Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in. You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone. It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

HT1937 i drop my iphone 4 to the toilet is possible to get my information back

i drop my iphone 4 to the toilet is possible to get my information back.
Or i lost the iphone and the information inside for ever??????

have you ever done a backup of your phone? if you haven't and if your phone doesn't work then all your info/data will be gone.

I dropped my Iphone 4 on the cement and the back is all cracked, and the phone wont turn on either.

I dropped my iPhone 4 on the cement and when I picked it up the back was all smashed and broke and I checked to see if the phone itself was alright, but It wont turn on anymore. I have no idea what happened

Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...
