I dropped my phone in the toilet and didnt turn it off will it still work?
I dropped my iphone 4 in the toilet. I immediately fished it out dried it off and checked for signs of life. After looking very closely I was able to see that while the screen was nearly black everything was still functioning I didnt know I should turn it off its been on for about 4 hours I even charged it b i didnt know if it turned off it it would come back to life after reading about what I should do I immediately turned it off and put it in a bag of rice. What are the chances that it will still work????

Put in in a bag of dry rice for a few days and see if that drys it out. Don't be surprised if it doesn't. You may need to take it to an Apple Store. They will offer you a replacement at a reduced price
Hope that helps -
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, please help!
so is there no saving my iphone 4? even if it works fine when its on, can text and phone, email etc. just turns off and then reloads the apple icon and asks for my passscode again. it almost seems as it wont charge.

Dropped my phone down the toilet and everything works fine still apart from the WIFI is not there.
I recently dropped my White Iphone 4s down a toilet on a night out!!!
I quickly picked it up and took it home and dryed in off and placed it in a bowl of rice and a few days later everything was fine and working just like normal apart from some water under the screen.
Also the Wi-Fi option on my iphone just isn't displayed and greyed out.
I have also recently updated the software on the phone to the new 5.1.1 which i have seen there has been problems with about the wi-fi dropping and not being displayed.
I would just like some advice if anyone else has had this problem and if which i think it probably is, the hardware has become loose inside the phone and its not the software.The WiFi radio is dead. You cooked it. Make an appointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. If you did not purchase AppleCare+ with the phone, a replacement will cost you US$199.

I dropped my phone down the toilet 2 days ago, is there any way of saving it?
I dropped my phone down the toilet and immediately took it out, dried it off and put it in rice overnight. I did try to turn it on (i know i shouldn't have) and it did however the screen was very flickery and could tell there was still water in it so I left it in the rice and haven't taken it out since. I've tried to turn it on as I believe all the water is gone but it won't turn on. I've tried putting it on charge and nothing. It's still in the rice, is there any way at all it will turn on or is it completely dead?
Also, there is no home button, I've been using assistive touch.There's an almost 100% chance you ruined your iPhone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Dropped my phone in the toilet.. HELP PLEASE
Recently.. Maybe I couple days ago I dropped my phone in the toilet and dug it out about 10-18 seconds later. I heard after it is dropped in the toilet/water, you are not to power it on and off but I did because I wasn't aware. When I first tried turning it on it lit up for about 2 seconds maybe even less. Then later it kind of lit on and off, but eventually died off. (Stupid of me.) After I got home from school which was about three hours later, I immediately placed my phone in a bag of uncooked rice. After about 18 hours I tried turning it on, and of course everthing was working except for the screen (Sounds and everything was working fine. I could hear the the keypad clicking, etc.).. Assuming the screen is fried. :\ Honestly, my last choice would be to get a new phone because I'm so attached to my iPhone. But if that's my only choice, then I'll get a new phone. Now, ny question is- If everything on my phone is working fine EXCEPT for the screen which is black but the touch and everything is working, can I just get the LCD/screen (If that's what it's called) replace/fixed? Thank you for your time. I'm dying without a phone, I feel lost. :\
Apple does not repair iDevices. You can get a replacement out-of-warranty.

Dropped my phone in the toilet?
Okay so im at school and i dropped my phone in the toilet. I dried it off and took apart the whole phone, battery, sim card, stylus etc. i had it wrapped in tissues as i dont have any rice. now that i turned it on its showing me the android sign and it says "downloading" and the top left hand corner it says factory mode high speed do you know what it is doing?
The rice thing takes days not minutes or even hours. You should turn the phone back off, pull the battery and put it in rice for 7-10 days when you get home.
Hope you have not caused further damage before the phone was dried sufficiently. -

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer.

I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?
After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets. It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly. But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer. I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

This is URGENT-please reply.
I dropped my phone down the toilet this morning. I took the SIM out straight away so it would not get damaged. I put my phone in a bag of rice for almost four hours. I tried to reboot my phone back to it's factory settings like it said on the internet but my phone doesn't connect to Itunes at all. My phone won't turn on. What shall I do?It would need to be rice for around 7 days ,however trying to turn on has probably fried it so try around 7 days and then when it still doesn't work either exchange for a refurbished iPhone 4 or use the money to get a new one.An iPhone 4 is $149 in US
ps the sim is not likely to be damaged water conducts electricity across all the wrong circuits frying the iPhone -
if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?
They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one. -
After purchasing the Photoshop cs6 update for my Mac, the download page says for "Windows". Will this still work? How do I get the right download without purchasing again?
no.

My 4 year old daughter dropped my 3GS in the toilet tonight. Otterboxes are not waterproof in case you were wondering. : /
While my turned off phone is buried in a bag of rice, is it possible that I can take the now removed SIM card and put it in another 3GS for the interim? I have an other 3GS (my mom's old one that we use as an iTouch for the kids) on hand that is attached to my apple ID.
If this is possible, is it as simple as taking out the SIM card in my mom's old phone and replacing it with mine? And does this mess anything up when / if I'm able to salvage my toilet phone? Can I take the SIM card and simply put it back in my phone after having used it in the other one?
Thanks.Put the SIM in the other phone and Restore it from Backup in iTunes. If the old one revives reverse the process.
