I dropped my N4 in a toilet.
A toilet. With water.
I was able to get a bottle of rice and stick it in there for a day, but even so. It was fully submerged in water. And it works perfectly fine.

Bad news is, that will probably trigger corrosion so your phone may not survive for much longer.
Cool story bro!

Use 100% alcohol to clean it inside, it will remove water leftovers and dissapear so you wont get corrosion and device failure in future.

Disassemble it all the way! Clean it with alcohol where necessary, make sure its dry everywhere and put it back together... . if u choose not to do this I'll guarantee u in a few weeks , (maybe months) u get all sort of strange problems... Think of reboots, failing camera , flickering screen , not working sound etc etc

Hmmm...you drop your phone in the toilet then suddenly it works? Doesn't make sense. I presume you have dissect the phone, wash it and let air dry and then its all working now?

Even if there wasn't, you can bet it was riddled with bacteria. And now he's sticking that thing to his face and ear.

The toilet was empty, calm down y'all. I disinfected the outside of the phone, and the rice seems to have done its job. If the rice completely dried out the phone, why would there be corrosion?

So I missplaced my ace, and found it in a small pool of water ringing... First thing, got the battery out, wiped it, unscrew it, luckly no waterinside, just on the charging port, wiped the water, left it for a day, then tried it, every thing working, but not charging, the charger port was opened so water entered the port, now i tried to wipe the port with parfume and it charges, but some times doesn't charge, should i wipe with more parfume? or wait afther the holidays to find a working service gsm? Can parfume harm it? I used it for the alcohool to clean it...
I'm waiting for your answers, thank you who ever want's to help.
Now it works fine, it charges every time i plug it it, is the problem solved, or should i go with it at the gsm services?
It takes some time for water to evaporate completly. It is very likely that your problem is already solved

Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.
ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.
That sucks man! I guess I have a good case, I've dropped mine a bunch.....first few times I kinda freaked, now nothing happens, and I pick it up! Sorry for your loss.

actually no not at all.. dropped this guy many many times and have a couple chips in the metal but the screen is fine. Even the other day im running on a tredmill and flap my headphone wire with my arms as im running.. it fell on the belt i kicked it and it still was fine.
hahah
I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.
I spilled bong water on mines and my girl scratched it a little with my keys over top speaker other than that no drop damage and trust it's seen it's fair share. #TOUGH

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.
I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

I wouldn't bring $700 USD cash into the shower with me. Probably more for sanitary reasons though.

Why not get a waterproof Bluetooth speaker? I think I saw one on Groupon or somewhere for less than $50... MUCH safer alternative, LOL [emoji6]

I've tried it
Well I haven't tried bring it into the shower, BUT after viewing the video with the guy submerging it in water for an hour, I decided to test it out myself and submerged the phone in my sink.
Couple things I've noticed:
1. While the phone is waterproof, the open ports on the phone still take water i.e. headphone, usb, and sim card
2. My phone lost reception shortly after taking it out the water and I panicked, turns out its because the simcard was shorting out due to residual water left in the sim card tray.
3. The fix was as easy as taking the sim card out , drying the card and popping it back in
Conclusion: while the phone is waterproof, I think its only really designed to withstand rain and splashes of water, so it might work in the shower for you but I fear the condensation in the shower is probably not a good thing for the exposed metal in the ports and sim card tray.
Yeah, those cheap $20 suction cup Bluetooth shower speakers are what I recommend. Bought one off eBay for my son. Works like a charm and it was like $18 shipped.
