Nelkoya 17,769 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I dropped my first phone in a lake while fishing, never found it again, 12yo me was so sad about it. One of my friend dropped her phone in the toilets, she tried the rice thingy but it didn't work, rip to her 4 months old iphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 2,858 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I can tell you from experience, the rice thing doesn't work time to get that phone upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofs 13,968 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I dropped my iphone recently and I was losing hope because after 24h it wasn’t working properly but out of nowhere, it started to work like it was new i covered it with rice and I kept checking it like every 2 hours. I think that was a mistake so I advice you to let it stay covered by rice without turn it on for at least 24h. I wish you good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repeat 1,397 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not a phone, but years ago i dropped an ipod in a sink full of water. I put it in a bag of dry rice for about 5 days and it was absolutely fine afterwards. I had 2 ipods at the time and bizarrely that one worked better than the one that didn't get wet!

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo 57 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yes. But I didn't put it in rice. I just wipe and let it dry. For some reason it works. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
