I just dropped my iphone 4s in water and put it in rice, but when I turn it off it keeps coming back on. What should I do?

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.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

My Iphone 4 is not sending Imessage, but when I turn it off, I can text? What can I do to fix my phone?
iMessage is separate from texting - SMS/MMS.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?
If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and cannot get it to dry out enough to turn back on. I may have fried the battery. I am using an old iPhone 3 temporarily but cannot get all of my current info to sync. My calendar is up to date but none of my notes have transferred over and the contact list is from when I originally used the iPhone 3 last year. How do I get my iPhone 4 info synced onto the iPhone 3?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't restore an iPhone 3G from an iPhone 4 backup. Until you get a replacement you can access your iCloud data at iCloud.com on a computer. -
I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?
Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out. Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board. Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
Consider yourself lucky. I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered. -

Hi I dropped my iphone 5 in water last night, it is working but has shadow over the screen how can I get this fixed?
Probably too late to do anything but replace the device at this point.
Once electronics get wet, the best thing to do is turn it off and put it in silica gels packs or uncooked rice for a minimum of 72hrs. Only then should the user attempt to power the device on. -
I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working.
I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working. After drying it out for a few days I had the LCD replaced, but the touchscreen is still not working. What do I do?
Why don't you ask that question of the person who performed the uncertified service?

i dropped my ipod in the pool and put it in rice for three days and the screen just stays white now. what is the cheapest way to fix thiss?
There are companies that specialize in data retrieval but it's costly (probably cheaper to buy a new iPod) and more than likely as Allan said, your circuits are probably damaged beyond all hope of retrieving anything. It's worth calling Apple you maybe able to get a discount or a refurbished iPod. Can't hurt to ask, Good luck. (And in the future... no texting in the john.) Sorry, couldn't resist it.

my iPhone has a black background and the classic rotating wheel. I try it to put it in DFU but when I turn it on it goes back in this modality and my mac doesn't recognize the phone. HELP ME!
That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period -
Ive just dropped my iphone 3 in water
Ive just dropped my iphone in water and the screen stayed on for a while but now it has switched off. Ive put it in in rice - is there anything else I can do?
Thanks. Only trouble is phone is still on and it won't turn off as the slide action on screen won't work. Managed to get sim out and that still works luckily but I haven't figured out yet how or if I can get my contacts off icloud!

Dropped my iPhone 5S in water, I think it's safe but I'm not 100%, HELP
I dropped my iPhone 5S in the bath for around three seconds, I grabbed it and dryed it off and it seemed to be working normally. I used COOL air to gently dry out the charging and headphone jack just to be safe. About twenty minutes later my phone did not have service in my room and it was charging inconsistently. My phone has never not had service in my room over the last 3 months I've had it. I read a few articles online and immediately turned it off and put it in rice. I checked the water damage indicator around two hours after it had been in the rice and it was not red so I just wanted to know if this meant my iPhone does not have water damage and I'm safe? I still have it in the rice just to be safe.
Thanks!!No, it means it is working for now. That is no guarantee that it will not fail tomorrow or next week. Your chances of an eventual failure just went up.

I just replaced my iPod 5th gen. a week ago, and it was working fine, but when I went to go turn the screen on, it wouldn't turn on. I've tried to put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge and it wont connect to my computer, how do i fix this? I tried to reset the iPod, by pressing the home and power button but nothing works. It's literally a brand new iPod, I dont know what to do now. Help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i was at the beach and was washing my shoes off then it fell in the water it was working alright but then it died and will not turn on and keeps showing the same thing i have tried to recover the iphone a couple of times but its saying the same thing.. do i have to go get it repaired if so how much... please help!!!
If you are talking about the warranty from Apple that would have expired when your iPhone hit the water. So it doesn't matter. Just take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.
