I dropped my iphone in water but it still works

i dropped my iphone 4i nthe toilet but quickly grabbed it and dryed it off..actually i was on the phone when it happend and kept the conversation going only thing is i can only use the speaker....the phone never turned off and everything works fine except the headset. I blow dryed it and now its sitting in rice any suggestions?

Leaving it in the rice, undisturbed, for a week, might help. It won't hurt it. I know of two friends who did the same thing as you! One was successful with the rice and a gentle heat (maybe near a heat register for you), and the other had limited success - the phone worked for a few months after the rice etc., but then started giving trouble so had to be replaced.
Good luck.

If i dropped my ipod in water would it still work???

if i dropped my ipod in water would it still work ????????

There are a couple of solutions to that. Most involve silica gel. Silica can be found in little packets at shoe stores and such, it absorbs water and moisture. If you set your iTouch in a bowl of it, and let it sit for 3 days, you may get it back to working.

Help! Dropped phone, screen is black but phone still works...

I dropped my iPhone 4S today and the screen went black (thankfully it didn't shatter), but the phone still works perfectly fine. I can still touch it and everything; unfortunately I obviously can't see what I'm doing because it's black. Another problem is that my lock button has been broken/jammed for a while, so I can't try to reset it with holding the home button and lock button, which I've heard could work.
Is there something I can do myself? Or should I just bring it to an Apple store? Even then, can they fix it or is my phone done for good?

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 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

HT201401 what if i dropped my iphone in water

what if i dropped my iphone in water?

Chesterapple-the day before last Christmas, I dunked my 4 into a full glass of Coke. :/ I popped it out immediately, but all ports had gotten submerged. Hoping for best, but expecting the worst, because I ruined a Touch this way-I went into immediate damage control. Powered off the phone, dried with a soft towel as much as I could, then wiped the sticky Coke off. I even put the hair dryer to it's 'butt port'. Then, within minutes-I had it submerged in a baggie of white rice AND about 5-6 of those silica gel little packets that come in shoe boxes? You know what I'm referring to? Luckily, I keep all my shoes in their original box, lol. The silica draws water out of things. So, I put the phone, now covered over it's head with rice & silica packs-in a dark cabinet, sitting on it's back, completely submerged.
My contract was up anyhow, and the 26th, Best Buy offered upgrades for 5C's for free....so, yeah, went for that! Lol. I still checked in on my 4 about a week later...it was not well, turned on, but downhill from there, so I powered it off, and gave it up for dead. I was upset because I was going to use it just for an iPod. But, I still set it back up in the rice cocoon..why not?
About mid-Feb, I noticed it again in the cabinet & decided to see if it ever healed. It was half sticky and tons dusty with rice, plus some grains had gotten caught up in the butt port. So, cleaned it up again, gently got rice out. Held my breath, powered......and it came on! Not only that-it was PERFECTLY FINE. All my settings/wallpapers/contacts/apps/msgs, everything. Fine. Expected it to wack out any minute....left it on a few days to see. But it was fine, good as new! I deleted all off it, and now use it as an iPod, perfectly. Oh, one issue-water damage light came on and apparently will never leave. No biggie, since I'm keeping it. So, there's another miraculous back from the dead, but certainly don't expect it-not the norm. But, possible!

I just dropped my iphone in water by accident, suggestions?

So i dropped my iphone on water, i dried it off with my towel as soon as possible. Before i did any research i was dumb so what i did was turned on my phone, everything seemed to be working well, but the sound was worse, there was sound but not alot, about 5 minutes later the sound got a better, not 100 percent recovered but it was better. Now that i did the research on how the save the iphone i turned it off and put it in rice and now its been sitting there for a 15 minutes. Was that the sound got a bit better when the 5 minutes flew by a good sign that the sound can return to normal? What you think is going to happen to my phone in general?

When any electronic / mechanical etc device is wet and is turned on in most cases it will be fried [dead]. Unfortunately at this point and time you have two choices.
1 Call Apple and pay the accidental damage price for a replacement [If you do not have APP+]
2 Go purhcase a new phone
Sorry bout that though.

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.

What do i do if i dropped my iphone into water?, What do i do if i dropped my iphone into water?

I dropped my iphone into water yesterday and i left it sitting in rice all night and it wont turn on. Any other ideas or should i just leave it for a little while longer?

Leave it there for at least 3 or 4 more days. You may have to spring for an out of warranty replacement, though, in the long run.

I dropped my phone in water for a few seconds, but it still works. I went to charge the phone but it fried the charger. It still works though. I just cant charge it. Does anyone know what i should do?

I dropped my phone in water for a few seconds, but it still works. I went to charge the phone but it friend the charger. It still works though. I just cant charge it. Does anyone know what i should do? it actually burnt the tip og the charger and was smoking I have no idea how the phone is still working. I do not want to buy a new phone.

Hi Sean,
If it fried the charger, then there is something seriously wrong with it. You need to take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at, and be prepared to be told that you will need to get a new phone. If you can't charge it, it will be useless to you in a matter of days anyway. Also, do not even try to hook it up to your computer....you will probably cause serious damage to the computer and be even worse off than you are now.
Sorry about your troubles. But for your own safety, you need to have the phone looked at! Don't wait - if you wait until it has no more charge left, then no one will be able to recharge it to look at it....
Cheers,
GB

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

Dropped my iPhone in a pool. Everything works except for sound.. What should I do?

Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. You might get lucky but I wouldn't count on it.
You should have turned it off immediately and put it in rice but since you used it after getting wet, your chances are very slim.

Dropped my iphone and now home button doesnt work and will not charge.lower third of it seems not to work.i assume it's had it.what will i lose off it?

I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
Sorry but that makes no sense at all. How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device? Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development. They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally). So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly. No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.
