Iphone in the water

What will happen if my iphone fall and sink into the water.
What should I do.

Use a torch to look into the headphone jack. If you see a red dot at the bottom, this means the main logic board has come into contact with moisture. If the dot is white, then you should be okay. Just leave the phone to dry.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone.

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?

Dropped my iPhone in the water.

I dropped my iPhone in the water a few days ago with a case on,however, the case was not waterproof certified. Although my phone still works, ive been having some problems with it. Like it not wanting to charge random times and getting stuck on dock connector mode. The LCI indicator is red aswell.I have Apple Care though. I was wondering if I took it to an apple store if they would give me a new one or not.

Using the hair drier, even on cold, was a big mistake it just forces the moisture farther into the iPhone.
In your original post you said it happened a few days ago, now you say 3 months ago? That is more that a few days. Regardless the moisure sensor has probably been triggered and my answer remains the same.

How do I submit a claim on the Class Action Apple settled for the iPhone with the water damage indicator red

I stood in line the first day the original iPhone came out to purchase one. The next day I purchased my second iPhone for my daughter and before long we had 4 iPhones in the house. We still to this day have 4 iPhones. Over the years several of my iPhones stopped working, I had paid extra to have the support contract on them only to find the local Apple store could care less. They condemed my iPhones as being water damaged even though I was told the phones did not get dunked in water.
Today I learned Apple settled a Class Action in regards to the iPhones with warrenty where the liquid sensor was red and Apple refused to fix the problem. In researching this I discovered reading the judges order in the case that Apple is supposed to have a 1-800 number setup and a website setup for people who had the problem. I searched the web but could not find the website or the phone number. It appears as if Apple is going to e-mail all people who took their iPhones in for repair and were refused yet I have not recieved an e-mail from Apple.
I guess the question I have is should I assume since I have had no e-mail from Apple that I will not get one and I will not be included as those getting payment. Should just take my iPhones with the red liquid sensor to small claims court or should I attempt to contact the judge in the case and ask him how I can have three iPhones that qualify yet have not heard anything from Apple? I still have the iPhones that Apple refused to repair.

I don't think the settlement has been approved by the courts yet. Apple agreed to pay, but I don't believe the terms of how everything will go down has been officiated yet. When it is, the documents written up about it stipulate they've got to place a notice in USA today and Macworld with the web address for claims as well as a toll-free number. You can see the terms that are being negotiated at wired.com

I've drop my iPhone 5 in the water but the indicator is not red.

Hi all,
During the afternoon I've drop my iphone in the water. Immeditely, I have turn it off and wrap it in paper so all the water was off. I've let my phone shut till I came home to notice that the indicator haven't turn red yet. Does it mean that my iphone is ok or should I put it in rice for the night?
Thanks

Even if everything looks all right, it can be used. I've received calls and the sound is perfect. Same for the screen. I am just worried that 2 days later the indicator will turn red or when I decied to charge my phone it bugs.

HT1349 My iphone drop in the water

Where i can get my iphone fixed, after it drop in the water

I hope it isn't too late...
DO NOT USE YOUR IPHONE!! This may cause a short circuit which would destroy the phone beyond repair.
1.Depending on how long the iphone was in water, put the iphone in a bowl of rice, if you just had it in water briefly, like dropped it and took it out, put it in the rice overnight. if it was in there for an extended period of time, put it in for 2-3 days. But with the iPhone in the water for extended amounts of time, the rice trick tends to be much less successful in getting the moisture out than if it were a quick drop, so you may want to skip to the nest and last step.
2.If this doesn't work (the iPhone still won't turn on or something), take it to the apple store, and they will replace it for $200.
If it is already broken, just take it to the apple store.

I dropped my iphone 4s in water and now everytime i plug it in it show a charger pointing to a itunes thing i have tryed to recover it but its not working!! what do i doooo?!?!?!

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.

Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. You may get lucky.

My iphone was in water and im trying to restore it, but get a error code on itunes

When its restoring, it looks like it is getting ready to finnish restoring until it gets to restoring firmware then it gives me a error code, which all it tells me to do is
uninstall and reinstall itunes and restart my devices, which i have done several times. i feel like if i can get past the firmware restoration thing, i can restore it and be able to use it again, but i dont know how to do that, is their a way i can bypass the firmware restore????

If you have powered up the iPhone after the water insertion ii is likely to be toast
If the rice trick makes no difference or time is key ,an Apple Store genius bar will exchange for an Out of Warranty unit for $269, if in US ,similar in other currencies

Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .

We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

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.

My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.
