Still have warranty then replace ,no warranty buy new phone. Next time happen like this you can take battery out and put the phone and battery into the bag of rice leave there for awhile.Rice will suck the water out

rule of law.. never ever put your battery back to power on your soaked phone.... it'll do much harm than good.. it might circuit your Note's motherboard in the process.....thereby the only thing to do if that'll be the case is to replace it.
what you should have done is to just.. yeah.. blow dry it... then I agree, put it on a vessel full of dry rice and and cover that vessel up. Leave it there for 1 week max... that should leave all water out of your phone, yeah rice sucks out the moists and dews off your phone.

no idea.. use a hair drier with low heat instead.. will always work better...
although i know that rice will absorb the water if its in contact with water and not the phone body itself.

The rice trick certainly works and is safer than using a hair dryer. Probably too late for OP though.

Here's the definitive guide if you drop any phone into water...
1. MOST IMPORTANT: The moment you get the device out of the water REMOVE THE BATTERY.
2. Gently shake out excess water.
IF IT FELL IN SALT OR FOUL WATER: put the phone (not the battery) in some clear, clean fresh water, swish it around a bit then shake it off. This is important because salt does very nasty things to electronics and you want to get out as much salt as possible.
3. Place the phone and the battery in a bowl of dry uncooked rice -OR- in a plastic bag with some of those desiccant packs.
DO NOT USE hair dryers, ovens, microwaves, etc.
4. Let it sit in the rice for at least 24 hours. Longer is better.
5. Remove, insert battery, then hope for the best.

Ok, I put it in rice lets see after a few days what happens. Thank you all!

Put it in a a bowl of rice, cook it then eat.. Just kidding..
Yes, that rice method works.. Saved my Xperia X10 that way...
But from what you have stated that you tried powering it up after an hour, that might have killed it.. (but hopes are still not lost)
In regards to burtcom's post, its better if you use pure distilled water to clean it.. that way, it would have 0% chance to further do some more short circuits in case there is still some charge left on the capacitors on the board.

Phone fell into water! [SOLVED]

My phone just fell into water!
I immediately took it up and when drying it the phone responded to the touch screens but then it shut down,
i took out the battery and dried it from the outside and now im doing it from the inside with the hair-dryer,
Any suggestion of how to dry it more?
dun dry it with hairdryer cos u may melt the solder or anything inside the phone. put the phone in an airtight container with rice and wait patiently! otherwise, send it to 3rd party people to help u clean

yes,
the most critical part was to take the battery out as soon as you got it off the water to prevent short circuit
don't rush it let it dry naturally at room temperature
hair dryer could damage the phone (but again we know the phone have survived the ove trick and hair dryer trick, so it should be okay)
take out all the parts, battery, cover, etc
if you are a technician open up the phone, and use compressed air spray cans, but watch out to not freeze the phone.
best results if you have an air compressor machine at home and use it to blow dry the phone
let it rest under the sun or a projector lamp for an hour and check to make sure there are no more water vapour trapped under the screen
once everything is confirmed dry, you can put it back together and hook up the battery, the phone should work back to normal now.
i hear throwing it in a bag of rice really sucks the moisture out.
As told, first step is ALWAYS to remove the battery and let it rest and dry for a period.
You can put it in a bag of rice (it absorbs humidity) and keep yourself from "testing the device" to ofter... let it rest for (at least) an 8 hours under warm and dry temperature in a bag of rice.
i put in a jar rice, and put the phone between the rice with the jar open,
I will keep it like that for 24 hours and hope that at the end it powers on. Is 24 hours enough? do i have to close the jar or keep it open?
Thanks for the support, I really need it right now
aww poor fella... i nearly dropped my phone in a toilet bowel once... imagine that....
Aw that sucks mate. As other have said putting it in a bowl of rice is ment to be a good idea as the rice absorbs all the moisture.

No water inside or in the battery compartment, dried off the outside and went about my day, didn't hurt it one bit.

You need to leave it off for a long time (days). Take it apart as much as possible, put it in a bowl of uncooked rice and leave it.
Given what you have said your phone could be dead already.

This. although there is a small chance it is salvagable.
I would leave it in rice and also if it's sunny, leave it in the sun.
Before you do this though, dismantle it as much as possible. Even if you have to unscrew some bits, it may help (careful not to do too much that you can't put it back together).
Also, resist the temptation and wait at least 2 days before trying to turn it on again.

It will very probably still get corroded inside and will lose its functionality. Cleaning the parts with distilled water is the best way to fight this.

[Q] Water Damage

So for the first time ever, I dropped my phone in water.
Luckily I'm still under warranty, except I'm worried about the water indicator. It's still white under the battery, but does anyone know if there is other like inside the phone?
Also, I can boot the phone to the bootloader, but that's it. I can get to recovery from there, but flashing ROM's do nothing, I still always boot to the bootloader no matter what.
Does anyone know if there are more water indicators or of there is a way to temporarily fix this? I'm freaking out
Bag of rice and wait wait wait... I'd get the battery out asap!!

Well when you get something wet, you should power it down immediately, remove the battery and all of the parts, and stick it in some rice for a few days.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
I heard ppl using hairdryer or putting into oven for a little while and it becomes ok after that.
remove the battery, simcard, and other peripherals from the phone.
then put it on some uncook rice for a night.
using alcohol also is a nice way because alcohol will displace the water.. do this before putting the phone on the uncook rice..
The bag of rice is the only thing you can do. A hairdryer for a little should be ok but please dont put it in the oven. And i would recommend not using alcohol since it would probably strip the paint and mess up the plastic.
Had the same thing happen on x-mas eve. My wife did a load of laundry and forgot to check my pants pocket. after 3 days of sitting in rice (and multiple flashes), i finally got the phone semi-working. The sdcard was shot and the mic stopped woking...i can only make phone calls using BT or with the headset...but hey, I forget this thing is a phone anyway

[Q] LG 4X in water :(

Hy today I was going home on motorbike and my phone was in jacket pocket ( jacket is motorbike,waterproof,never questioned that ) and suddenly it started to rain and I had no worry cause jacket is waterproof and many time I carried phone in jacket while raining,no problem at all.
But guess what.I arrived home and pulled out phone from jacket and I felt water on TPU case and bottom of case was soaked.
Immiditealy I had heart attack that water found her way into phone electronics and parts and I pulled out battery,sim card and memory card and dried phone with hair drier.
Then I switch battery with replacement battery and started phone.After LG logo apperead I was happy but no so soon,then LG logo flickered after showing it as it should be and black screen on left part of screen and artefact screen on right ( like when your computer GPU dies ) and I hear boot sounds and going into homescreen.
My questions is should I try to dry more or thats pretty much that what I could do ?
Did digitizer died or LCD screen ? Could they notice if I take it to warranty the water indicator like on Iphone ?
Guys please help,give some advice,I'm going insane
Strip the battery from the phone. Put both in a bag of rice. Leave alone in the rice in a warm place for 48 hours. Try to see if it works. If not then there's not much else you can really do.

Thanks for reply,last time mom washed my Nokia 100 and after leaving it in rice for 24 hours water withdrawed and now phone worsk flawlessly like before.
As I sad,phone turns on,shows LG logo as it should be,I hear boot sound and then one half of screen is black and other half has artefacts.
So my question is what could be damaged ( cpu,gpu,motherboard,lcd screen,digitizer ) ?
After spending 12 hours in rice,my phone works and everything is fine except rear and front camera.
They dont seem to work,they show some kind of artefacts,then it turns for a short period time and laggs and they I get error App has crashed etc.
Should I carry my phone to phone service or leave it for 24 hours more in rice,maybe rice will dry moisture from camera lens/electronics or are both cameras completely dead ?

Personally I would leave it in the rice for for a couple of days at least. My old Sony Ericsson took 3 days in rice to get back to full working order following it's short visit to the toilet basin.
You only need the slightest drop of water in the wrong place to create a short, which will cause your phone to act erratically.
I have my fingers crossed for you :fingers-crossed:

i'm gonna put it in rice,
how is it supposed to be put in rice?
direct contacting with rice or can i cover the phone in tissue etc and then put it into rice?
---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
my phone is accidently droped into a low level bowl of water face down.
almost 25% of phone dipped into water, and as soon as it contacted water i pulled it out and pulled the battery and sim and memory card out.
then i tried to dry it with hair drier for 10 mins,
then i started my phone and it started normaly, but after 1 minute while i was using it, it dimmed and gone to black screen, i instantly pulled out the battery again,, and yet i'm thinking what to do,
do i still have chance of rice trick?
i can't take chance on my phone, i'm not a rich person to afford this phone again

Put in in the rice you got nothing to lose.. But honestly, you made a mistake turning the phone on after 10 min. Rice will hopefully take out the moist.

If you live in a cold place, keep it in for atleast 2 days.Also stop powering your phone on, it will reduce your chances.Try to get it to somewhere warmer
if you ask me, you made a mistake when you tried to dried it with blower
when it drooped into water, then right away turn it off, battery out, sim and sd out
then try to collect water as much as you can with tissue
then put in on rice, basically bury it in it so that phone is surrounded with rice all around
leave it like that for 2-3 days
then try to start it to see if you had luck to get the moisture out
Rice is a bad idea.
It will dry but the water from everywhere contains salt and minerals.
It will rust everything inba short periodo.
Run to a repair store and they will dissasamble and proper clear parts.

everything is wroking,
and i wanna thank all of you for replying and helping... rice is the best method for it.
thanks a lot,

The best method is actually to use the desiccant packets that come with electronic equipment, but I'm lucky to get lots of them through my job in case I ever need them. Rice is the best thing that almost everyone has easily available.
I'm glad it's all working, quick action of normally the best bet.

a nice homemade trick to fix wet devices is, grab a container, half fill it with white rice, from a new package, and the put your device into the rice, of course without a battery and back plate, and the complete the container with more white rice, wait for two days and then, try to turn on your device, it will be completly dryed, i proved with several devices and always works again
yes, rice dried my device completely and I'm using it without any problem now

[Q] Htc One Water Damage (Not turning on) URGENT

Hi Guys,
So last night I accidentally put my phone in a glass of water. Only the lower part of the was phone submerged under water ( the charging port and lower speakers) not more than 10 seconds. As i was driving then i forgot to switch off the phone and when i reached home after a couple of minutes, i dried the whole phone using tissues. The main blunder i created was that i didnt switch off the phone and used it for 15 minutes , tested out its speakers and stuff. After some time, the phone showed low battery and i started charging it and in a couple of minutes it turned off. It wasnt charging at all.Also i dried my phone using hair dryer for 5 minutes. Then i put the phone in uncooked rice for the whole night and the next morning i tried to switch it on but no success. But when i tried to charge it a dark red light started blinking and later the charging light started but when i switched on the phone , after the htc logo appeared the phone switched off again. From now i am not able to even charge it , no light comes , i think the phones dead now.
Also when i checked the liquid damage indicator, it hasnt turned red which it is supposed to if your phone is damaged my liquid.
So can i know that what should i do now? I am still under the HTC one year warranty but i dont know whether they will repair my phone or not?
Leave it in the rice for a few days and hope for the best. I would have left it in there longer before trying to turn it on. Damage may be done.....

Well alcohol displaces water.... but I'm talking like 90% alcohol. Whiskey is 40% alcohol and 60% water(this varies of course), but in the an electrical circuit being wet in the presence of an electromagnetic field(in your case your phone being turned on having a whiskey/water mix in the circuit), the copper ions in on the board actually start to branch out and cause micro short circuits on the electrical boards. Long story short, if your phone is not working now, the damage is most likely already done.

I don't believe what anyone says about rice, rubbing alcohol etc any more after having my old i9300 at ten-twelve meters deep in highly oxygenated salt water for 22hrs (long story :-\ ) and being able to resurrect it after a day of pulling it to pieces (pcbs and all) and washing the corrosion off with just water and a toothbrush the HTC one is the replacement phone I ordered straight after assuming that the i9300 was surely dead lol... So I'd recommend watching some tutorials on pulling it to pieces without damaging the components, cleaning everything inside with just water and a toothbrush and drying with a hairdryer (whilst still in pieces) before reassembling. I bet that it'll work without any problems, just make sure to carefully study the tutorials
Edit: this disassembly video looks pretty good, I only watched a few minutes into it but the guy seems straight to the point. Definitely worth a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyrxa23OwME

Dude you really have to stop turning your phone on! Just leave it in there for a couple days. Dont plug it in, don't even touch it. Just leave it for 3-4 days. If it doesn't turn on after that, I think its time for a new phone.
Oo

Lol yea, I don't know why would he turn it on without giving it chance to dry up. Even wet clothes take atleast one day to dry up without heat or dryer. Cheesus. And on top of it you put it up on charge. Lmao, I am sorry but I couldn't control my laugh.
But on serious note leave it alone for few days.

Yesterday i kept it on charging and after an hour, a battery icon was visible on the screen and the led light was blinking orange. Then someone advised me to stop it and keep the phone in rice for more time.
What should i be doing now? Is there any hope left?
Your impatience has killed your phone. You should have let it dry before having electricity move at all through your phone. The water has short circuited that high current of electricity when you tried charging it and has most likely corrupted a lot of the hardware inside your phone.

Yup. This is right.

So now the phone only responds to charging after keeping it in rice for 2 more days. There is an orange light blinking and sometimes a battery icon is visible. I am not able to switch on the phone.
Also are there any additional water indicators besides the one in the camera flash which is still yellow?

You probably killed the battery and the board, if you want to still try something else, replace the battery and see if it powers up.

Yes there are water indicators in the phone itself. You cant see them, but they're there. (If you look closely in a disassembly video, you can see it.)
If you want my opinion on this whole thing, just give up. You're phone is dead. Give it to HTC and pay for the repair. I think it's around $150.

XPERIA SP fall in water ...

The xperia sp of my friend fall in water of WC . And that don't want to on and work
... After he takes the phone from the water that work but after he off and put in the rice but now that don't work .. we have red led and white and vibarate once time . You think we have a chance to work the phone ...
Take it to a repair Center or if you are confident at fixing things youself you can do this:
Completely disassemble the handset clean every component with electrical contact cleaner or isopropel alcohol. Do not clean the LCD with this as it will seep between the screen and screw with the colours for weeks afterwards. Allow that to dry for a few hours (it evaporates pretty quickly but the condensation it causes can take longer)
Remember water does not conduct electricity its the minerals suspended in the water that conduct electricity those minerals are still inside the handset and may still be shorting it out. If you've done all that and the handset still won't turn on its dead.

Thanks for the quick reply. But disable they all xperia Sp is not easy.
How much cost you think in center?? I live in France. In Europe how much?

red led and vibrate = not enought battery charge.
let it dry in the rice over night without sim/sd and with the backplate on, you shouldnt try and turn it on, instead wait till its fully dry then charge it for 2-3 hours when its done try and re-start it
Put it in a bag of silica ( the ones found in shoes ) or rice for 3 days
Do not attempt to blow dryer it that is a very bard idea
Then charge for an hour or so then hopefully it would work normally

If you put it on charging before putting it in rice, electricity will flow through your device which might short the motherboard or other components of the device leaving your device dead.
If I were in your place I'd have done this -
Put it in rice for 2 days under the sun --- > Put it in silica for 24 hours ----- > Deassemble and clean it with alcohol and leave it under the sun for 1 hour -------> Charge it and hope it turns back on.
What you did was kinda stupid, you charged it while it was in the rice.
The main motive to put it in rice was to get rid of the water so it doesn't short the motherboard.
Anyways,
Good Luck
