    Default Help!!!

    I dropped my phone in the river. Submersed for 2 minutes. Being the idiot, I turned it on and checked everything. It works fine but whenever i type backspace, it makes like a fuzzy sound. After watching loads of videos, Its in a tub of rice. But i cannot tell if its got any water inside. There's moisture in the camera but battery is unremovable with out a wierd sort of tiny allan key.


    Someone tell me what to do This is definetly related to Pl cos thats one of the things it effects.

    Drop it in the river again. It will reverse the effect. It works - I promise!

    It sure had water inside. It is better to have serviceman take it apart to dry & clean every bits with proper agent. Your phone may work fine today but soon rust will come causing bad contact, short-circuit, faulty parts to name a few.

    Get a Nokia Lumia and play with PC. Phone is not for playing, its for communicating with friends and take care of email and facebook and such things.
    I can tell these Lumias work like clocks, seamless 60fps experience no lag.
    If you wet your phone it will always have problems after that i can tell from experience.

    An alteration of what you said: "Phone is not for wetting."

    Well, no matter how much we learn how to take care of smartphones, accidents do happen.

    Like this one is very good camera and everything and it wont be so expensive loss if it drops to ocean and is lost. Just get a new one.
    Back cover pops off so if it gets some serious ugly scratches then just buy a new cover for like 5€ and its like new again.
    Software is wicked fast and it runs everything in store basically perfectly.

    Default try this

    put the phone together with some charcoal in a container, charcoal absorbs moisture, may work...good luck.

    I don't know if any of you have ever heard of this, but there's something called a case? Most of them nowadays are waterproof, shockproof, iceproof, and dirt/greaseproof... Consider buying one if you like to dangle your smartphone over a body of water for fun.

    Phone companies have kinda forgotten about how useful waterproof phones are since no company is making one.
