don't ever continue using your phone that way, if you don't want to take a risk of having an expensive paperweight. Remove the battery cover and battery and put your phone in a jar completely full of rice. (phone should be completely submerged and you should also seal the jar) keep it that way until all the moisture is gone. (it can take a long time)
would that work? ive got it on the window seal at the moment in the sun. how long would you say it would take, days?

I would be careful leaving your phone in the sun, you don't want to cook it - literally!
Damn, mind posting pics? just more reason not to bring my Leo to partys!

Hey all
After two months of treating my HD like a newborn puppy, I left it alone for one minute at a friend's house and someone spilt drink all over it
All is well (eventually...) except for the power button. It acts like it's permently pushed down, so I always have the pop-up 'Are you shure you want to shut down?" and I can't suspend/wake up/turn off the phone (apart from workarounds) or even leave the phone turned off without removing the battery.
I've read old posts on this, and was following some advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520702, but I yanked the button up waaayyyy high! (see pic!)

Anyway, I want to try any tips before pushing the button-cap back on. Has anyone seen the insides enough to suggest where to stick a pin/lever it back up etc etc?
If it makes a difference, the end nearest the 'white' bit is pushed down into the device a bit - is this its natural pose or is that my problem>
Cheers for any help, hopefully one of you beautiful XDA'ers will have some help, a beer if anyone performs me a miracle!

nope i was using it on way home from work , it put it in its cover when i travelled from car house (kept in hand) then on the sofa for about 5 mins while i got changed then went to plug it in as battery was on 7% and noticed it
Apparently a team just released some interesting finds:
Paper batteries recharge from moisture in the air, seemingly defy laws of nature
that would be so AMAZINGLYAWSOME!!! if they ever make it into public distros

Can you imagine only needing to have your phone be exposed to moisture (through the air or maybe dripping some on the battery in drier climates)? You'd never run out of battery power and it would be so environmentally conscious because we're not using heavy metals like lithium!
if i happen to be in the desert, without a battery for 200 KM away from the nearest power outlet
i can just spit or pee on it to keep the phone running to call for help

Definitely just cracked up when I read this. Its true..."Help, I peed on my phone and I need someone to come get me from the desert!"
Now imagine installing this battery on an iPhone, which has anti-moisture sensors. Hahaha
What to do when your
phone gets wet?
Try this tips when the mobile get
wet-
1.First thing remove the battery
as
soon as possible from mobile.
[Cause the power gets stopped
and
thus does not affect the circuit
and
board inside the mobile]
2.Dont forget to remove your sim
from the mobile unit.
[contains useful numbers]
3.Remove the panel and make the
phone to dry for 2-3 hours .
[ Use a paper as it helps to dry
quicker]
4. Place your mobile in bowl
containing rice [uncooked] 16-18
hrs.
[As this helps to dry out]
5.place your mobile in a plastic
pouch with silica
[comes with almost all electronic
goods, as it sucks the water]
Note-Don't use any sort of hair
dryers / hot objects as these may
lead to damage in the board/
battery
may explode.
Try to reach your mobile service
provide if warranty includes any
water damage then u get a
replacement.
Hope the above things works for
you.

Hi guys, i have a problem two months ago i pour soda on my nexus 4, then the earpice won't work and then the camera, so i bougth the 2 of them on ebay and i put it but still won'r working.
Any idea?
i'm using 5.1 version of android stock.
i really apreciate it.
Sorry for my bad english.
I think it's too late to take a risk of rescuing after all this time. Maybe there's rust on the motherboard and connections. Buy an isopropyl and clean the motherboard, but I thik it's too late. Look at phone after one week of drown.

I know it's not a N4, but you see the damage.

i disassembled my N4 but no rest of liquid or something
Clean camera connection with isopropyl.
It's probably too late as of there was water inside and you used it then the connection would get fried
