Phone got wet now wont work

Help, my i phone 4 got soaked in the rain and now will not start or respond in any way.

You find it odd that an electronic device got soaked and now does not work?
You should never try to turn on a wet device.
Let it dry for a week or so.
It is likely dead.

Phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon and sometimes connect to itunes

3gs phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon alternating with connect to itunes

You didn't connect it to your computer or to power, did you?
Wipe it down, put it in a baggie with raw rice or new silica gel packets and set it in a cool, dry area, like a cupboard. Leave it there for 3 - 4 days.
Take it out after this time, wipe it off, use a soft brush to wipe any rice dust from the dock connector, and connect it to your wall charger. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes and then Reset it while it is connected to power. May take several tries. If it revives fully charge it.
If this does not work you can do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple for $199 USD.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions..

Take it to an Apple store or an Apple certified repair provider.

My phone got wet and wont turn on. Is there anyway to get it repaired and get the pictures off of it?

What options do I have to save my phone?

Well, since you tried to turn it on while wet the chances of recovering anything have just been reduced. But try putting it in a plastic bag with uncooked rice for several days to draw the moisture out of it. You may then be able to restore it or turn it on. If you've been syncing regularly, backing up to your computer or iCloud, or have enabled Photo Stream your pictures are safe. If you have done none of these things they are lost unless the phone recovers after drying out.

Phone got wet. Still works. Water under screen. Grey dark part closing in, white going away. Water evaporating?

Is the water under my screen leaving. There were grey and white dots. The grey dlts looked normal color and the white brighter than average? Is the grey closing in on the whiTe the water leaving????

I Don't feel like it will stop working though solely for the fact that it is 100% functional and has been all day. I feel like if it was going to give out wouldn't it have already done so?

Phone got wet now screen is black

i did the rice thing for days and my phone recieves calls and texts but i cant see anything! what should i do

Get a new phone. Water damage is unpredictable. You can try an independent shop and have they try to diagnose the problem, but you have a 3 year old phone that is out of warranty and no longer updateable. You deserve something better.

Phone got wet, now black screen

Last week my wife's BB went for a ride in the Washer/Dryer, so it's spent the last 5 days tucked in a bed of rice with its innards pulled out.
Today I put power to it and the keypad lights up, and the LED flashes but the screen stays black. I've tried the battery remove hard reboot a few times... not even a flicker.
The phone can make and receive calls, and can receive emails and texts (just can't see them).
Is there anything else I can try? If I bring it in can the screen be replaced or is the cost the same as a new phone? - the phone is less than a month old.
Thanks,
G.

I doubt Rogers will be able to fix it. Worth a try though. Even if they can fix it, it most likely will cost too much.

Have you tried putting it in a bag of whole grain rice? Do that and let it sit for a week.

Since it has notservice, it obviously does not "works perfectly fine".

One or the other or both.
Contact your cell carrier and/or take the phone into an Apple store.
FYI: wet is considered accidental damage and is not covered under warranty.
$269 (in U.S.) to replace the phone at Apple.

How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

So my phone got wet the other day. I dried it out completely, but the touch screen still isn't working. Is there anything I can do short of getting a new phone? Anything that can be done at the nearest Verizon store? I am one of three phones on our plan and I am trying not to need to get a new phone before our contract expires next month.

Hello wetphone!
We're sorry to hear that your phone isn't working. It's very important to have a functioning touchscreen! Let's explore your options OK? If the phone is taken to a store, troubleshooting can indeed be done. The store representative can even contact us while you're there. Do you have insurance on the device? Or, do you maybe have a prior vzw device that can be activated until the upgrade is available? You can also check your My Verizon account to see if your line( or another line on the account) is eligible for an upgrade. VZW always has options for you.
Thank You,

Apple will not attempt to salvage it. They will offer you a replacement iPhone 4 for $149.

Hello Aaron1658,
It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My phone got wet and screen is black, please help?!!

My phone got wet and the screen turned black after a while, it is still on because I receive phone calls and can answer them by swiping the screen where I know to swipe. The phone rings and I can even have a conversation on it. The screen is black however, I cant see anything else or do anything else. I'm going to take the phone to apple tomorrow to see if its repairable. Any suggestions??? Its a 4s, have it for about 4-5 months...

Try resetting the phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
