[Q] LG 4X in water :( - LG Optimus 4X HD

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:

And so it will be.
I wont test out my luck anymore,I'm reliefed that phone even works,WiFi,3G,GPS,games,apps,screen works great only front and rear camera show artefacts and crash
is there any chance that rice will dry out moisture from camera and they'll work normally ?
if cameras are dead,what parts should I order from Ebay ? plastic cover or just camera

or both ?

congrats! i got my phone into water too
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
so please reply soon,
thanks

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.

ok, i have put it into rice, directly contacting with rice...
now will pull it out after 3 days?
weather is cold here, and it's not warm, will the rice still take out the moist ?

Yes, keep it for a couple of days..
I dont know, I believe it doesnt matter.

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.

ok friends,thanks GOD my phone is alright, not a single default in it,
working perfectly, it has been half an hour i'm using it with minimum 800+ processor frequency so that it generate some heat,
everything is wroking,
and i wanna thank all of you for replying and helping... rice is the best method for it.
thanks a lot,
Regards,

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

Diamond flooded:(

Was geting out of the car today, and dropped the phone in to the water.
There is mist under the screen . And now touch screen not working.
Please help, is there any cure for this?
First, be very greatfull you still have a semi-working device!
Second, install MS Voice Command - this should give you some functionality
Third, if you search on the forums for the service manual and and get one of these.
I'm told its a very tricky job but as its a touch phone and you have lost your touch, its got to be worth a try!
usually, when electronic devices get wet, you should immediately remove the battery and let it totally dry before turning it on.
And then send it for repair or diagnostics to make sure it's still functioning. At this point, I think your best bet is to send it for repairs.
Good luck, hope it's still repairable.
turn it off and leave it somewhere warm for a day or two.
then turn it back on.
if it is still not working right you need it repaired.
Take the battery out, and then pack your diamond tight, submerged, in a bowl of uncooked rice.
Trust me I've seen this work miracles before. The rice draws out all the moisture, it's amazing. Then cross your fingers and hope you got that battery out in time...
You'll need to leave it in the rice for at least 24 hours.
Good luck
p.s. Put the battery in the rice also.

You can cause problems when you cut corners like that... Static electricity is one.
Ok, so far everithing in working (GPS,camera,g-sen,phone,), and the touch screen works again, but the bloody screen... lots of watermarks on it.
I wouldn't worry about that, that's good so far. A mate of mine dropped his i-mate in a pool and he brought it back to life (with the rice trick) and his screen had those watermarks for a week. In fact it looked really cool, the background had this awesome colour to it, and the LCD had this strange depth to it (no pun intended) it was quite funny really, he was upset it went back to normal in one week!
this is probably the same "stuff" you would get on a window. I suspect that you may need to open it up and clear this away from the underside of the screen. Guess you could try some pressurised air BUT this may be too strong for a delicate phone.....
Is it possible to separate screen cover from screen(background)???
Cause its get worse with time. Couple hours ago, mist(water) was on 5% of the screen, and now on whole 80%. Now there is no white color but grey.
Just put your phone in rice.
Leave you phone turned off in some rice for I'd say 2 days, but you clearly want to use it to the extent you turned it on when it was still wet (very bad idea your lucky) so I would suggest you put it in dry rice every night off whilst you sleep and hopefully that will aid the drying process.
Next time take out the battery as soon as you possibly can. Take it apart as much as your comfortable with doing and leave it in rice for a min of one whole day.

Yeah i get it, but im on work now and i Need to use it. I cant get rice right away. So i'v put it on the betacam (kind of expensive heater).
Comparing to my friends SE K850 (that was flooded ider) my Diamond is in the good working order, when he flooded his SE - Camera,Speakers = dead ,Phone = no network ,Display = waved. When mine was showing new mail massage from underwater
Anyway thanks everybody for your respond.
I'l wait couple days for screen to get back to normal. will post if something changes.
Right, was unable to find the rice, but rolled in toilet paper for 1 hour. And hey presto now its fully functional, no any marks.
Solved.
But thing near strap holder is red now

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.

My old Omnia2 fell down (drawn) in a toilet and survided using the methods above. Give it time to dry... don't rush to test
heh, mine fell into a bathtub full of water... took me about 5 seconds to get to it, was getting the baby out of the tub.
No water inside or in the battery compartment, dried off the outside and went about my day, didn't hurt it one bit.
الحمدلله 24 hours later i tried to power it on after putting it in rice, and it worked! its like nothing happened, everything works!الحمدلله

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.

It gets stuck at Samsung Galaxy note GT-N7000 logo. I tried to enter in recovery menu(Power up+lock+home) to reinstall software but i did a reboot recovery mode by mistake and since than i doesn't want to boot or either get in recovery mode. Can I do something? the screen now works just fine. I will need to buy another phone or to change some bits in it? Oh and when i put the battery in it automatically boots up get stuck 2-3 minutes on logo and it reboots. Please help me is there anything i can do?

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
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.

[Q] Dropped htc one in water

I might really need someones help now.
I wasnt really using it but somehow i managed to drop my htc one in W/c. and it was half inside and within seconds i picked it up. it was inside the water from the headphones jack and when i removed it it was working fine for couple of mins and then it started restarting on it own. i read about rice so i kept it in a bag full of uncooked rice for 3 days and nights and tried switching it on. nothing works but that same thing happens. when i dropped it in water 25% of the screen from earphones jack had water and i could actually see it and after a couple of days the water got absorbed and there are barely some water marks in the screen whenever i try switching it on. and right now i have kept it in a bag full of moisturizer absorber and kept it for a night nothing really helped yet. just the water from screen got absorbed and nothing is working anything yet. and the flash is yellow. so i dont know if i should fool the service center guys or keep it longer and make it work or what?
help please.

Should've left it off for a week or so.. Or got it opened and dried and cleaned. Nothing can be done now. Wait and watch, or if you still can, get to a good technician and ask him to open and clean/dry the phone. Good luck

[Q] got it wet

hi community,
i went on a trip with my bike, after an hour it started to rain, really heavy rain. as soon as it started i closed the flap for the headphone-jack, and put the device in my trousers pocket. when i arrived at home my trousers were soaking wet. the device turned itself of (short circuit?). every water-indicator turned red, even with closed flaps. i removed SD and SIM, opened all flaps. my device suffers the backplate lifting problem you all propably know about. its still wet on the inside after one night as i can tell from the steamy front and backcamera lenses. some questions:
what can i do in order to get it fully dry ?
when can i try to turn it on ?
in case it is really damaged, is there any way to get some money out of it ?
thanks in advance
put it in a bag of rice for about 24/48 hours to see if it fully drys out

Exactly right. Actually I also took off the back plate and put it at the back of my pc... used the fans to blow my Z for a few days cuz I don't usually shut off my pc.
Try turn it on when you feel it's dry inside. Maybe after 24hr if you don't take off the back plate.
If it's eventually dead, sell it for parts. I could use a rear camera
it was in a bag of rice for a few days now. tried to turn it on today, nothing. no vibration, no led or any sign of life. connected it to the charger, to the pc, nothing. im pretty sure the water came in to the loose backpanel, so is there a chance they will replace/repair it? or do the red water indicators void all warranty ?

Oh they might be wanting to repair it, but it will probably cost you the same as a new phone.

That's true.. Give it more days and see if it turns on.
It's been a while, but i wanted to let you know what happened.
The phone was irreparably damaged and i took it to the vendor where i bought it.
They sent it to sony. In the form i had to fill out i mentioned that the water damage
is a result of the loose backpanel. In the end sony gave a replacement device for free,
i think it took two weeks or so..guess im lucky
