I recently dropped my phone into the toilet water.... i quickly removed it and i volume down and power to force it off.. after 2 days i checked the phone again.. it didnt on but i plug the charger.. there was a red led only.. i tried many unbrick methods but i dont think my phone is bricked. I opened up the insides of the phone and all the water has gone and theres no water stuck or anything.. dry
but my nexus 4 is still on red led when plugged in.. I think its battery problem?
I think it's not messed up completely. You should take it to service center ASAP instead of guessing what happened to it.

I think they'll check it for you, so don't worry.
You probably just need a new battery. Everything else should be working fine. Best thing to do is take everything apart and clean them with isopropyl alcohol, then let them dry, buy a new battery and you ll have a working phone again. Sometimes some other components might have problems, like camera or mic/speakers, which are all cheap as spare parts. Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to fix water damage.

Its usually just the battery dying. I dropped my HTC desire in the toilet once, just the battery had to be replaced after drying it all.

You tried to run the phone on a different charger? For me, the incompetent OC it helped.

Bro! Are you serious? You just said you dropped it in water. What you expect. Also doubt anyone else has had that problem either. Unless they've dropped it in water as well lol.
Wow!

No. The best thing to do when you drop your phone in water is to take out the battery from the phone and just bury the phone in a bowl of rice for like a day. It sounds stupid but it actually works.
guys last night my device galaxy y s5360 slipped into bucket....
unfortunately, water trapped into screen..... my phone is still off......
when my phone fell,the battery deattached quickly.....i havnt power on it(yet)...
from night it is under the bulb...

need your attention......
o no bro.a good tip,dont use bulb or something its make corrosive your mainboard.the best is to put it in a jar full of rice.
thanks,,,,,,,buddy i suppose it work!!!!doin it
Bro also place rice jar in sunlight so that water will eveporate and rice would absorb it...
Also remove battery and other accessories.and if possible open the body of phone by removing the screws...
Placing it in a bag of rice wont help much as far as I know just let it dry and after that open the phone and see if there is any corrosion on the board if yes remove that first by a soft brush to remove the corrosion you can also try to dip the main board in alcoholic solution just google it

glad to hear the hardware is safe from harm,
btw make sure to run tests because most of the time water damages does not appear at first
The classic rice trick has always worked best for me.
Guys, once i also experienced the same problem. My phone feel into a bucket full of water . What i did was, immediately removed the battery and wiped it well, then some shaking.. After 15, 20 minutes, i restarted it but it wasn't. I tried to unscrew it but failed due to lack of proper screw driver.. anyway i left it on my bed and went for duty. Evening icame back. Tried to restart, again failed. then i put it on charging. Nothing was shown on the display as charging. But after a 10 minutes when i tried to switch it on, really, it switched on... There was no problem after that.
Same my brother also experienced this problem. He accidently dropped it in a pond.. He took it to a Samsung care, after checking they told him that its motherboard needs to be changed. And it costs half the price of y. So he took it back to
Home. One of his friend told him to put it under sunlight.! He did so, and after some time when he switched it on, it successfully booted. But there is a big round Mark in his display.
Now he has to change the display.

when situations like that happen:
1. REMOVE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY
2. NEVER PUT THE BATTERY BACK ON
3. DONT PANIC
4. Never put the device to dry under the sun
5. To make sure take 1-2 days before turning the device on again
I heard that you take battery out, shake water out of it then just leave it to dry under a medium powered light bulb

I was playing around with my Nexus 4. It fell in a glass of water. I took it out within 2 seconds. Phone booted up and worked fine except Camera and the earpiece. Those started to work fine after around 5 hrs automatically. I flashed Stock Android 4.2.2 via Fastboot after everything was working fine. It failed while flashing bootloader and then the phone went completely blank. I did 30 mins of work and google search and I was trying all sorts of combinations and the phone booted by luck. After then it went in Blank many times showing *white* LED. I was always able to take it out of that by some combinations. Now the phone got stuck in bootloop. I switched off the phone and plugged it for charging. It charged upto 100%. My mom took my phone and locked in the cupboard (due to exams) I got it today (after 2 days) and when I try to boot then it just shows *Red* LED for some time and then goes off. If I plug it to a wall charger then the Red LED lasts merely a second.
Please help me guys.

Take out the battery and reinsert it,i have seen people complaining of red blinking led issue,but in their case,the phone shut down due to 0 battery,and when try to turn on by connecting wall charger,the issue showed up.If there's a possibility that the phone got completely discharged in cupboard(due to low or no signal),then that might be ur issue as well.

I am afraid taking out the battery. What if voided the phone ?
If the phone has been water damaged, warranty won't help you anyway so you haven't got anything to lose! Just a reminder, if you drop your phone in water, turn it off (take out the battery if possible) and put it in a bowl of rice for 12-48 hours to help dry it out, do not turn it on before then!

Similar
Dropped phone in toilet. 2 seconds max. Didnt have luxery of a torque screw or pop open capabilities threw the N4 in bag of rice. 4 days later. it turns on and the screen looks fine, but auto shut down right when main screen loads. Checked for water damage on the inside: void stickers were pink, but phone seemed fine and no sign of water damage, until I took out the battery. it looked a bit damaged. I replaced it today and I am still getting the same issue. Right when I am taken past the Cyanogenmod loading screen, the main page loads and says "shutting off" or "powering down" whatever it says. The battery seems to always be between 16-18% also. Anyone ran into a situation like this or have any suggestions? please!!!! thanks!
Hello everyone,
I got this problem with my LG G2 that it fell in the water once, I directly put off the phone. (It was still intact after falling in water).
Later I turned it on but the screen did not show up. Sound works, Vibration works, TOUCH screen works (no graphical stuff) and even if I call my self with another phone the LG goes off, vibrates, plays the ringtone and everything.
I sent my phone to Dynafix which is the repair center, they said it's not available for warranty, because its water damage and they declared the phone as "Unrecoverable". Which I think is pretty weird. I have thought of repairing it myself by buying and new LCD and Digitalizer.
(w w w . etradesupply . com/lg-g2-d800-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html)
I have never done that though but with a good tutorial on YouTube and the right tools I should be able to do it. But before I take any action which may not work I want more info about this problem.
I made a video of my phone but can't post any links here, the name is: "LG G2 screen doesnt go on? [HELP!]"
Thanks:good:
Don't waste your time or money on this. If it was completely immersed in water, it is in fact unrecoverable. The water might not have an effect on the device the first couple of hours, but after a short while it will corrode it's way trough the device, rendering it useless. The repair center won't touch it because they know that no matter what they do, there is a huge risk that the corrosion will come back. You're better off with a new device.

The phone in on the charger and on, Everyday I still hear sounds and such. The phone hasnt been in water more then 1 sec though. And afterwards I left it drying in dry rice for 1 week. I know i am a bit selfish but I think there could be a chance of making it work.
The phone comes with a subscription for 2 years and it's not even a year old ;/

Not exactly the same but a friend was skipping lessons at school when we were like 10 (10ish years ago) and using Gameboy Advance SP in the toilets... you can guess what happened... Any way i took it apart and left it in a closet for a few days, gave it back to him fully working after. So it's not necessarily un-fixable.

How fast until you took it apart? Also, did he remove the batteries quickly after water exposure? I'll bet that's not the case with the phone here...

Well yeah, I just turned it off got the back cover off but not got the battery out. and let it dry.
Is there any way to acces the phone's screen through my PC? The phone is rooted.
Fixed the phone!
I removed the main board from the phone and brushed the connections with a toothbrush. Re-assembled the phone and it worked!
The only money I spent is for a plastic opening tool and a philips screwdriver.

Your problem isn't something that you can fix from your computer I think that the only thing that you can do is to disassemble the phone completely and let it dry in the sun or your hair dryer an then check again

It's possible that it may be able to be recovered. Try the debrick method in the link I posted above. It's going to forever be water damaged, which could possibly lead to early component failure, but you might be able to revive it.

Seriously dude, water damaged means hardware damaged. No way that he can just unbrick. This is something totally different, it's just false hope which I which wasn't but in reality is.

OP, you can belive that if you want. IMO it's worth a try. After having been able to recover water damaged devices myself, I'd be trying if it were me. Might not work, but what's the harm in trying?
