i was swimming and i dropped my phone in the pool...i didn't notice that it was in there until like 10 minutes later...will i have to get a new one? what will i have to do to it? how to dry it out and all that...

Answer 1

umm i advise you to buy a new one...trust me...ive been there

Answer 2

i got mine wet in a rainstorm one day and it wouldn't turn on. i put it in rice for about 24 hours and it got all the water out. just make sure that you don't take it out. leave it in for the whole day.

Answer 3

put toothpaste all over it and dry it with the hairdryer for about 5 minutes. should be good as new.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well...i did that too, but mine was only in the pool for like  4 min. . What i would do is take the battery and sim card out and put in rice to let it dry. I did that and it still turned on, but all the buttons are messed up. Menu goes to My Stuff and the center button doesn't work. Lots of other buttons don't do the right thing either. It only stays on for like 1 hour and then it dies and u have to charge it! u can still call and get them! But eventually it will die out and won't work!  

Answer 6

i think u should get a new one its  might not work anymore

Answer 7

I once took my phone swimming with me and he did not enjoy it at all.

After letting it dry for three days I found that I had to replace the battery only and it was fine (although it refuses to stay turned off).  This was 3 months ago and my little phone and me are still working together just fine.  If I want him off I just take out the battery.  A little more cumbersome but cheaper than replacing him.

Answer 8

first of all dont try to turn it on, that will ruin it. take the battery out and let it sit for a couple days. It might not work since it was in the water for so long. If you have insurance, you wont be able to get a replacement because there is a sticker below the battery that changes color when it gets wet so they will now that you had gotten it wet

Answer 9

Hahaha you idiot.
