What are the odds of my phone recovering from falling in a puddle?

The other day, my phone threw itself in a puddle and immediately i took the battery and turned it off and such, no sim card, and it was only in the water for like 1 second.. I had to wait the rest of the day at school air drying it and I got home around 2:40PM and left it in rice until the next morning to check it, it Did turn on and the screen had water ripples in it, and sometimes the main key pad wouldn’t work so i would put it back in rice and then sometimes check my phone. and I think I greatly REGRET checking my phone because after it sitting again for awhile I check it again and the messages menu glitches out and constantly scrolls up and down with out me doing anything….. what should I do? Keep it sit longer and hope that goes away? because the water ripples on the screen went away after the first day even thruout turning it on.. Or should I just give up hope.. ?? D:<………saaaaddasaaadday.

Answer #1

Get a new one. After you’ve turned it on and it still fails the chances of it recovering is slim…

Answer #2

“My phone threw itself in a puddle” -That line just cracked me up….sorry.

Anyways, it sounds like your phone is gone. If you’ve already dried it and put it in rice and its still messing up - the water damage has already ruined it.

Answer #3

It is best to check tech squad for ideas or information or your supplier.

Answer #4

Check the battery. There’s a white square there,(somewhere) if it’s red it’s mean water reached it and that its damaged. ):

Answer #5

Actually the surprising thing is, it shows no water damage. :/

Answer #6

Based on what you’ve explained, it’s already too late, but for future reference … we have a How To for that: http://www.funadvice.com/howto/save_cellphone_water_damage
