You should do that rice stuff everyone has been discussing lately. You know, put the phone in rice and let it dry or something. I don't know the specific instructions, but I think you should do it, don't know if it would help or not at this point though.

Testimonial: Rice Resurrects Even the Most Soaked of Gadgets
Nobody wants to lose their favorite new electronic gadget to a dunk in the drink. One Lifehacker reader saved his phone after an astounding 30 minute soak by sending it to the dry-rice spa.
Two years ago we shared a handy trick for saving your gadgets after an unfortunate run-in with water—using rice to soak up the moisture. Lifehacker reader Dietrich recently put that tip to use with impressive results:
For the last 2 days it has been a monsoon in my city. Today, during a rushed last minute shopping spree, I dropped my phone in a puddle. I didn't realize I had dropped it until I got back to my car 30 minutes later.
I remembered articles on Lifehacker about what to do so I immediately popped the battery out and dried the phone. When I got home I put my Palm Pre in a bag of rice for 10 hours. Adding insult to injury, I forgot to take the phone battery out of my pocket and put it through the washing machine. 10 hours later I'm typing this on my Pre. Good job Palm on making an excellent phone.
Revival after 30 minutes is a really impressive feat. Our own Lisa Hoover saved her son's phone from a water-logged fate after it took a dunk in a swimming pool by using a container of rice, but it definitely wasn't at the bottom of the pool for a half hour. Check out the original article for the how-to on using rice to dry out your electronics and if you've used the trick yourself, successful or not, let's hear about it in the comments.

ok, she's sitting in a bag of rice, and my g1 is back out in action...
ugh, hope i'm not buying another n1 soon...
well, i checked the water indicators on both the battery and the battery compartment on the phone, both are still WHITE!
i'm hoping it's just maybe a little moisture on the power button causing issues..
it's sitting in a bag of rice, i'll let it sit there until tomorrow then blow the dust off with canned air.
Aw, well sorry if it doesn't work for you. I've never dropped a phone in water before ~.~ I'd imagine this would be irritating..
IT LIVES! bag of dry rice overnight, and the N1 is back to 100% order, screen is clear, everything works!
WOOHOO!!
Wow it really did work, lucky you!

GOODJOB!!! ok we need to confirm this bag of rice trick one more time! who wants to volunteer and soak their nexus in a bucket of hot water?
I once had the misfortune of having sea water splashed on my phone. The contacts corroded
You should leave it in rice as much as you can, as there could still be water in there that will screw you over later, but I'll bet you're safe.
Once I spilt beer on my samsung i760, but my idiot friend thought that your supposed to put it in a bag of SALT, not rice, so he convinced me to do it and not only did it still not turn on the next day but the salt grinded when you opened the keyboard.
Fortunately the moister indicator did not trigger and I was able to return under warranty.

salt is hygroscopic. it raises humidity, and salt corrodes metal as well.
Hi all, I know this is a rather old thread, but I was wondering where I can find the moisture indicators on the phone and battery? Are they the white tabs near the connections of both the phone and battery? And what color are they supposed to be if they are triggered?

I dropped the slippery little sucker into the bathtub last night... took it out, popped the battery out, dropped everything into a gallon ziplock baggie full of rice.
fired it up this morning, it initially went into the bootloader for some reason, i rebooted and it came up fine! everything works!
bag of rice, it just WORKS!
Congratulations.
Why the hell were you using it in your bathtub? I'd never put my phone near large amounts of water like that!
Nice big screen, soapy bubbles... Light some candles, you could have a good night if you know what I mean
haha... in my defense, i had just returned from an out of town business trip, and on my way thru the airport to the car, i turned my ankle, so i was filling the jacuzzi tub to soak my ankle, had the phone in my hand as i leaned over to turn off the water.. wasn't exactly thinking clearly.

These phones are notorious for not surviving "swims", but lately I've been hearing otherwise. For instance:
A buddy of mine has a MT3G and while leaning into the backseat to do something for his son, his phone slipped off of his lap and into his girlfriend's large sweet tea from McD's. He didn't even notice, for several minutes, until he took a sip from said tea.
His phone was floating in tea for minutes, and the only thing wrong with it is the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore. That's it.

for the same reason your grandmother put rice in the salt shaker and the sugar bowl. it absorbs the excess moisture.
silica desiccant would work better, but who has a big bag of that lying around?
I fell from jetski in freshwater pond, never happened before thats why i decided to take phone with me this 1 time....
Oh well, it works like new.....at least now it does. Air dried it with hair dryer and put it in air tight rice container overnight. Read that it good to put phone in alcohol right after damage, but i skipped this part.
I like to take my phone swimming.
That's nothing, my N1 is a useful cave diving tool.
Count your blessings one by one... it's an electronic device, no matter how awesome it is (and it is awesome) it still suffers pain like all other devices.
Pah.... that's nothing.
I regularly lend mine to my best friend who is an Angler Fish..
Wish he would bloody well charge it up before handing it back though.
My device survived a dunking in the toilet. Let it dry out for a couple of days and it's as good as new!

My phone, seriously, survived being dunked in the pool. But it dropped like an anchor to the bottom. At least the OP had it in his pocket. Did you at least get back on it before you took the battery out? I would have probably drowned in a panic not remembering to swim and trying to take the battery out while I was in the water. Thats good to hear

Nah, I prefer to take phone calls underwater...
Of course you're supposed to let it COMPLETELY DRY. When is it dry? Are you taking it apart completely, every layer, board? I doubt it. Therefore you let it dry until you're sure it's dry, then let it dry longer.

Nexus One survives freezer.
Fun at work: I performed a cold environmental test on my Nexus One in our environmental test chamber.
Got down to ~15° F and shut itself down.
Continued to cool to 0°F then removed it for 1 hour to warm up in 98° F.
Phone booted up and shows no signs of any problems or the horrible experience I put it through.

i didn't articulate well what I meant. Which was is leaving it to air dry considered a sufficiently satisfactory manner of dealing with a phone that has been in water. i know method will always result in a phone working. but what i would like some comfort over is that by going the air drying route i am not doing something that is a bad decision.
edit: it is now currently in a tub of rice for the next 2 days. fingers crossed.

That's pretty lame, Hulk.
My new thing is to use our industrial heat treating vacuum furnaces to pump down to 12 microns of pressure... water boils off WAY before that. Its like taking it to outer space. Couple devices became iPoods after toilet drops... tear the back off and pull battery, pump em down, fill with nitrogen, and done. Takes like 20 minutes
So, if you can't live without your phone for more than drying time, take it to your local heat treater! haha
Dont know the specifics of amoled displays, but I figure if LCDs dont explode under low pressure... amoled is probably ok

Hahha That is the fun part of living in Canada, On winter I used to test lots of gadgets I had in the extreme cold.
The most extreme I did, and I almost died in the processes was -40C. iPod touch didn't last long, and my Laptop was enjoying the cold by even going faster! though the screen failed after a few minutes, now it has a smudge I can only see on dark screens.
At about 11:00 pm, I had my Nexus one in my back pocket, as my new skinny jeans have no front pocket (yes I'm a girl). We were at a New Year's party, I went to the restroom, dropped my pants and heard a large PLOP. Horrified I turned around in slow motion knowing what I would see. Nice bubbles rising from my beautiful nexus one.
Now it's in a bag of rice, and hoping for the best. Thankfully I do have a squaretrade warranty on it!!
Sniff.

I hope you removed the battery immediately. Put it in a SEALED CONTAINER full of rice in a warm place or under some sunlight and leave it there AT LEAST 2-3 cycles of it accumulating moisture on the lid of the container. Each day or so, change out the rice, wipe down any moisture, fill it with fresh rice and start it over. Once no moisture is on the lid, do it one more time for a day or so. Do not put the battery in or try to power it on until that point.
And keep in mind your battery might be toast regardless. You might get lucky on the phone, however.
BTW, might not want to re-use the rice after, considering where the moisture is coming from

I think I grabbed it really quickly from the toilet, but it felt like slow motion as it seemed like I stalled for 10 seconds, watching in horror the bubbles rising. I can still see it now! haha
I did immediately remove the battery. It's now in a ziplock of rice. It's been in there since 3 am this morning. There's moisture in the corners of the screen. Will wait it out. I am currently using a cheap freebie lg flip phone and it hurts, lol.
My fear is the fact that it was blue water... they had one of those deodorant things in the tank. That can't be good.
batteries are very cheap on ebay, $6.50 shipped

Yeah, just don't be in a hurry to use it, even if your current phone sucks compared... If you use it too fast you will kill it, right now there might be a chance.. Who knows about the blue sanitizer, but as long as it's not corrosive or conductive and leave nasty bits behind it might not be a problem.
I'd suggest a sealed tight tupperware dish with fresh rice and put it it somewhere warm or with sunlight, and again, keep changing it until it's at least past one cycle WITHOUT any condensation on the tupperware. It could be a week, but personally I'd rather be without the N1 for a week than forever.

unless you have a giant bag of desiccant in your house somewhere.
i submerged my N1 in teh sink while washing dishes. I had shoulder surgery and was on the phone doing dishes ( was my first mistake). I had my N1 in the sling with headphones on and when i leaned forward, it slid right under the running water. I grabbed it and dried it off best i could, took the battery,sim,sd,batter cover off. I then put it in a tupperware container buried in rice for 24 hours sealed and it works like it never happened
I dropped my N1 into the drain once. Fully submerged in water and I only manage to get it out a minute later.
Lucky it was in the pouch which made the water go in slower.
Put it in a dry cabinet (the ones for camera gear) for a day and happy to report I'm still using it now.

So, I couldn't resist trying, everything looked very dry. Patience has never been a virtue of mine. Soon as I woke up I stuck the battery in and fired this puppy up. I was worried, it stayed on the boot logo for what seemed like longer than usual, but she's up and running! Speaker seems to work fine, I haven't made a call yet but will in just a bit.
After dropping it in la toilette, I took off the screen protecter as well. This morning I notice when the screen is off, the reflection looks a little funny, kind of a different hue, slightly hazy reflection given off, but I'm not sure if that's just how it looks without a screen protector, or if it's a result of the blue water.
Phone is charging now, and that seems to be working fine too.
Sounds like a bit of luck there.
On my last day on holiday I forgot to take my phone out of my pocket before going to the swimming pool. Now it's soaked and looks bricked. Does anyone knows if there it's a chance of it working after it's dried up.
If the phone was off and the battery was removed as soon as possible. Another major factor is how pure the water is - sea water will kill your phone unless you wash it out with water with no (or as almost none) salts in it.
The phone was to be allowed suffient time to dry out. Placing it under a gentle heat (ie near a lamp) and with those silicon bags that it equipment comes with or with rice. You are normally talking about a week for drying out time.
I've heard of dripping wet phones drying out and being okay, so it's a possibility.
There's all the usual airing cupboard/bowl of rice/little crystal packs you get in your trainers/bag of salt suggestions, but I think the most prominent one is to be 100% sure that ALL moisture has gone before you try turning it on again.
Have a search through the forums, and not just this phone as this is obviously not a phone specific problem. There's plenty of advice out there.
Good luck mate - I hope you get it working again.

open the back panel take evry thing out
dray it
dray the phone from back with an hair dryer with medium heat
for one hour
put it outside in the open for 4 hours
again one hour with hair dryer
and pray a lot
this is what save my nokia n95 ....so be optimistic
In my case I was saving a child from drowning ...so maybe it was an angel that thought it is not a good day to kill my phone
(try doing a good thing before the process)
good LUCK
20min is a long time for the phone to be in the water
It will also depend on if the phone was on or off when it went for a dip.
if it was off, there is a small chance it could be ok, leave it for a week to air and then cross your fingers.
if it was on, id take a guess that your goose is cooked.
sorry to hear bud.
Thanks a lot for all support! Well the phone was on :-( but the water was fresh. Anyway we have already checked out so no access to a hair dryer. Rice is not available until we're back to England this evening. Will report back if the phone survives.
Dissamble your phone completly (tutorial on youtube), place the mobo in a oven @ 100 degrees C for 5 a 10 min
Try first to dry your board with a hairdryer
I once fixed a friends (cough) iphone that was full of dirty water. Stripped it down, put the main components in clean water to wash it out, then put in a 50 degree oven for an hour. Left if over night then reassembled. Worked a treat afterwards, so there is hope. The secret is to give it plenty of time to dry out.
Use distilled water to rinse. Or even better, isopropanol; no baking needed.

it should be perfectly dry after everything that has been done to it.
I would be tempted to take it apart and leave it for a week it 2 to dry out. There's a good chance it will work again as long as you don't turn it on while its still wet. If it was salt water or water with chlorine wash the phone with clean water well while in pieces. It shouldn't cause any damage doing this. Its best to remove all salt & chlorine as to prevent long term damage.
Sorry to be the dictionary police but its kinda a habit of mine, swimmed with makes no sense, I think you were aiming for swam.
Sorry about your phone dude, I know its a pain when it happens. Good luck with it all.

It takes a Minimum of 2 weeks to cure a water damaged phone. If it has salt in it, it wont work at all. IN such a case you should have rewashed it with clean water. You also need to keep it air tight with DRY rice inside a airtight box for 1 to 2 weeks. This will make sure all the fluids are extracted from the machine.
It can feel dry, but it does not mean it actually is. Also, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT charge the phone with the battery in it after a water accident for the first time again.
Well, both of my insurance policies explicitly exclude mobile phones .
So it is now like either the phone will survive or I will have to use my old Hero for the next 12 months.
So I washed it again to make sure no chlorine left and put it in a tightly closed box with a lot of yummy rice
Anyway, I do not hold my breath. I think I fried it when I thought it is dry and was trying to switch it on.
Okay so I was shaving with my phone on the sink, as I leaned in my phone fell in the running water . I took it out the water as fast as I could and took the battery out Just to make sure no water got in the phone . I put the battery back in and the screen is now flickering how long should I let it dry and how should I dry it any help would be gladly appreciated. ...........yeah I know I'm a big dummie lol plz don't flame me !
Put it in rice for 24 hr if not longer, your second mistake was to power it on after it getting wet.
I'd immediately put it in a bag of rice and let it sit for at least 24 hours personally.

Dunk it in 99% alcohol for a bit then take it out & dry it off... Should be good to go.
http://smartphones.wonderhowto.com/...st-way-save-your-water-damaged-phone-0154799/
Silica is best, but cat litter, instant couscous, instant rice, and instant oatmeal all performed better than uncooked white rice—everyone's favorite damn drying agent.
Best you can do is place it in a bag of uncooked rice to try and draw the moisture out. Beings you already tried to powered it on then the damage might already been done. Leave in the bag for a few days but mostly its a lost cause as the connections will most likely rust over time as I seen happened with people in the past.

You know what? I suggest popping open those 20 screws and air drying it. After 24h use something like Arctic clean 2 or alcohol to clean any contacts you can, including USB c port. You'll get to see more of your phone, display will probaly dry out better and you'll get an idea of components that may need replacing in future if it acts up.if you have it already or know somewhere close by, but some silica and put the disassembled parts in different Ziploc bags.
