IPhone 5 submerged in water, but did not turn off/will not turn off. Best course of action?

My iPhone 5 was just in the sink under running water and mostly submerged for a few seconds. It stayed on with all buttons working, clear screen and clear camera lens. I have tried to turn it off, but every time I try it reboots. I removed the SIM - it was completely dry, but since I can't see the inside I'm assuming there's definitely moisture in there.
I currently have it in an airtight bag with silica gel, and I'm planning to leave it for a day or two, but it's still on. Should I keep trying to turn it off, or is it better for me to just leave it? I don't have the necessary equipment to remove the battery, unfortunately.

Last attempt to turn phone off actually did turn the phone off. Not going to touch it for a day or two, and hoping for the best.

When my iphone connects to wifi, everything else in my house will not connect to the internet. They all show 3 to 4 bars on connection strength, but unable to access the internet. The second I turn off the wifi on my iphone, everything in my house runs fine. What is going on?

Had a similar problem a number of years ago with a laptop my daughter had. The probelm turned out to be the router. What kind of router do you have? Have you checked for firmware updates, or at least tried re-booting it?

I dropped my iPhone 4s and the back cracked and it now will not turn on. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimated price to fix it. Thanks. And I do have insurance on it with best buy. I'm with Verizon so I don't know what way would be cheaper

I dropped my iPhone 4s and the back cracked and it now will not turn on. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimated price to fix it. And I do have insurance on it with best buy. I'm on Verizon's phone plan so I don't know if it would be cheaper to have it fixed with Best Buy or Verizon. I cracked my iPod a little bit ago and got a refurbished one for free with the insurance on it but I don't now if it would be different because it is a phone. I don't know really anything about this stuff so any information that could possibly help me is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone ios 6.0.1 software. The computer will not recognize the phone.

What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download. They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod. How can I get all of my songs back?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Get a new phone, either by buying the latest model or getting an OOW replacement and you will receive one like the one you have now.

There is no user name needed to "enter" or use iPhones...
Assuming you mean your iTunes Store account ID:
Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out > sign in with new ID

My IPhone 4s just started flashing the apple logo and will not turn on.

My IPhone 4s just started flashing the apple logo and will not turn on. And recently the charge indicator is not accurate show very little charge even when it has been charging all night. Any thoughts?

Update on this issue - I got the phone to restart by forcing a restore with Itunes. seems to be limping along again.

My iphone will not charge and will not turn on?

Today my iphone is dead. It will not charge and will not turn on. Could it need a new cord? It is just 5 months old! It has always been in the Lifeproof case. Ideas?

Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

HT200020 I did the fix but it didn't fix the issue. It allows me to create the script but when it runs it will not add the user account.

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

The Update would not have Installed if it was not suitable for your Device.

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...

I just updated my iPhone 6 to IOS 8.3. My safari will not let me search anything. If I type in a website URL, the Go button is greyed out. If I type in something to search on google, I press Go and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have cleared history, reset my phone, tried using wifi and mobile data.

I have this problem too and have tried all suggestions to fix, with no luck.
Safari did work for a short time by switching to Private, but stopped working soon after
