i fell my arc in water :'(
i removed the bettery qiuickly and then dried it
then when i turned it on it worked but i dont know where is the problem .. the mobile entered the CWM and press the keys randomly
do you think its simple hardware problem and it will back to work again ???? :/
How much time did you left it dry?
Try to leave it a week with rice or silica gel in a bag to make sure all the water is gone.
Put the phone in a bag of rice, if that doesn't work open up the phone and put the mainboard and button board in 93% alcohol. Than let it dry and put it back together.

I Just dropped my DHD in toilet. However I managed to pull out the battery in less than 10 seconds. Is there any hope. Have no courage to put the battery back in .
Please advise.
Hey dude.
Put your phone in a bowl of rice and place that in your airing cupboard or somewhere really warm for a couple (2) days, 48 hours.
Do not keep going back to check it, just leave it alone.
After the 48 hours check your phone, if you see no obvious water retention then take the plunge and power it up.
If it still seems to have water in it, put it back in the rice and warm place for another day.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem once with my nokia e66. It was completely wet after falling into a river during a canoe tour. I dried it in rice and it worked for the moment. After a while caused by corrosion on the board it won't charge. So i dissembeled it and put the board into isopropanol until the fluid evaporated. After that i cleaned the board with a soft toothbrush and reassembled the phone. From that point i never had a problem again.
So you got two options. Wait if phone gets strange behaviour and risk a heavier damage or dissemble it directly and put the board into isopropanol.
For me it worked fine! Good Luck!
look on youtube there is a lot of movies that will show you what to do its importent that you do it very quick....
Today, After keeping belowed DHD in rice bowl for 2days and gathering all my courage I managed to insert the battery. Then before even pressing any buttons, It vibrated once and stopped. Then I pressed power button and was not responding. I tryed pulling out the battery and then reinserted and pressed power button again. turned on with a vibration followed by bootscreen. after few minutes the lock screen appeared. I tried unlocking but was not responding to my touch. OMG. My touch screen is gone.
what to do next?
It's mashed if the touch has gone you can repair it yourself..videos are about

You should clean it with alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol (used for circuits)
It's the safest way.
Get a brush and alcohol from your nearest hardware store and you'll be set.
Clean it thoroughly and it will probably be back in working condition instantly.
I've done it tons of times with water damaged phones.
Not severe salt-water damage though.
I accidentally dropped my phone in the water. I tried removing the battery and dried everything at once. Then, I turned on the phone and found that the camera flash keep blinking rapidly. So, I took out the battery for a while and turned it on again. This time, the phone keeps vibrating every time the battery is in contact.
The phone is chargable, able to connect in adb mode but I can't flash anything because the phone just would not turn off.
My Arc has locked bootloader, is rooted and running JJ Hybrid Rom.
I know this is probably a gone case but any help is appreciated
Dude, if your phone is dry and doing that, than its time to buy new one... Try reflashing if that doesnt solve problem you'll have to buy new one...
Well how long did you dry it and how?

Well, I took out the cover and everything and just put in under the sun and have a fan blowing at it. Left it there for like an hour. Then, I noticed there was some condensation on the inner side of the camera lens and I tried using dry rice to absorb the moisture. Left the phone with the rice around it for 5 hours and the condensation was gone but still the screen was messed up.
So, the phone is working now but the screen is kind of messed and looks like sound does not work. Going to leave it in the rice for some more time and hopefully the water would come out...sobbing
I would leave to dry for 1-2 days

I drop my SGY in our swimming pool (inflatable) then my SGY suddenly shut down and doesn't boot...what to do???
Hi.
If you have tried to boot it up its not likely that it would get fixed on its own. You have probably shorted the phone.
Unbox it in xda style!!
Leave it in sun for 4-5 hrs without battery !!
And leave it in rice box for a few days.

See I am not sure it will work but it worked for me....
Open and keep each part seperately....use a hair dryer and keep it in a utensil containing rice....it would work I guess!
Even if the phone cannot boot up now, it may later. Just be sure to disassemble everything you can and leave it to dry off, then put it back on and try to power on the phone.
Electronics can be weird sometimes.
you should put your phone in the rice bag with rice inside for 1 day
Hello, I have a Note 2, and today I accidentally did spill water on it, I did take out the battery, dry everything, battery, contacts, the surface, I removed the SIM card, and I have not turned it on since it happened, I'm afraid that there's still water inside; I dry it at least 5 seconds after it happened, I was readin on putting the phone in rice in a bowl, without battery, disassembled or assembled? does it work? does it has to be fully covered? it's dry now, but if you please can give me another advice, I would appreciate it, thanks!

Yes disassemble it. i mean remove battery cover and battery too and let it in a bowl of rice(covering the phone with the rice) for a day. It'll absorb the humidity and phone should work .
hope i helped, bests

well yes you can keep the phone on a bowl of rice but dont fully submerged the phone in rsther kkep it on top level just a bit submerged, dont ever try to to use hair dryer and stuff, rather the best way would be if you can disassemble the unit and keep it to dry moisture for a day and it should run fine after that ,do check if any motherboard has any water residue and even the digtizer if found then let it dry more until unless you are sure it has soaked the moisture
I've left the phone in a bag half covered with rice, I won't use it until tomorrow, I'm pretty sure it's ok, as I said, I dryed it in about 5 seconds after I spill the water, thanks for the help, I will let you know if it works
EDITED: It works fine! I just hope it does not give me any problem in the incoming days, thanks!!!
I've dropped my phone to water and it was working for some moment's and it got shut down.I dried it and i tried to press power but it didn't react at all and it's not turning on now.Do we have something on our phone that can prove that it was exposed to water ? Or is there something i could do to fix the prob ? Also only half of the phone got into water.And it vibrated once after like half an hour by itself,and i heard some weird sound from phone for some time.

My friend with a S4 had same problem.
How he fixed it was that he shut his phone off and left it in a bowl of uncooked rice (or use any dehydrator) for 2 or 3 days.
This is just advice and I've never experienced such issue.
Sent from my P6-U06
Well, uncooked rice is good, its an easy alternative. Whats even better is silica gel. Its not easily available unless you're working in chemistry lab or have friends that do. For silica gel, you can heat up the silica gel first, let it cool and put your phone inside the silica gel and let it be for 2 hours, even better if you remove the simcard and memory card tray so that the moisture can secape from inside the phone. You can try opening the back cover, only if you know how. Actually you need to open (I cant explain it here) the bottom rounded cover, then slide down the back cover then gently pull it out. For silica gel, a few hours should be enough. Longer is better. For uncooked rice, I would suggest a few days.Longer would be better.
Its really best to remove the battery of a phone, but in our phone case, its a bit difficult unless you know how to. At least you can put some insulator between the power contact between the battery and the phone.
It was sitting whole night on table and i plugged it on charger and now it booted and everything work's.
I've read somewhere that if it work's it can die any time because of water that was inside,like ppl had their phone working for 2 - 3 months and suddenly they stop.Do you know any way that I can prevent this from happening ?
EDIT: Now my touch doesn't work.

I think you should use the rice method to remove all traces of water left in your phone.

As we have said, leave your phone inside a bowl/box of uncooked rice, its a good humidity absorber. That will absorb almost all the humidity inside your phone. Don;t turn it on until then. You don't want anything to short circuit inside your phone. Silica gel is whole lot better than uncooked rice, but it can be hard to find.
Hardware button's doesn't work too so i can't wake it or turn it off..It was in rice for good 8 hour's and today I will return it to service.I think digitizer,microphone and hardware button's are the only thing's that doesn't work atm.
I was just listening to music when it fell in the tub filled with water(obviously). My initial reaction being the idiot and panicky me is to try if my phone is still on, and it was. then the battery drained so quickly and then i clicked the shut off button and it went off. I tried the rice method overnight. Nothing happened. Does my phone still have hope or should I let go? please help
