Put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. That should take care of it.
really though, is it acting up at all? Any touch screen issues? If there's an area that's still wet, take a towel to it, don't wipe just soak it up.

I was going to post a snarky response, but I wont. As long as no water got in the speaker ,or slid down the sides of the screen itno the phone or head phone jack/buttons, you are fine.
Water on the screen is not a big deal, as the previous posters have said. Obviously if you're really paranoid make sure the device is powered off and throw it in a bag of rice for a few hours (although this is more like an "I dropped my phone in the toilet" problem). But water on just the screen is nothing to worry about.
+1 microwave idea
Thats like saying it rained last night and my glass windows got wet are they ok?
like previously stated if the water just hit the glass its fine.

Phone was two feet from the floor. Dropped. Screen is cracked. Im not on any insurance currently. Whats the best and cheapest way to get it repaired or replaced? Thanks
Take it to a local repair shop. Unless your capable of replacing it yourself then Amazon is your best friend. IMHO taking it in somewhere is what I would do.

The screen and digitizer are both 1 piece. You can only buy the super amoled screen from samsung. you will have to send it to them I believe the cost is about 150 dollars

Call the galaxy s Support line. Just google the number. You will have to send the phone in. I'm not sure, but I think the 150 includes labor. There was another thread about a person who did the same thing. More details there. I'm in my phone, but if I find the thread ill pit up a link here.

Always sad to see this happen!
does this phone not have gorilla glass? Or is that just the international version? I dropped my phone last night out of my car but luckily the leather case it was in protected it from any damage.
The gorilla glass is scratch proof, not crack proof.
I stepped on my phone and the screen cracked. What the hell Samsung and gorilla glass

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's why you need a soft case. It even saved my HD2 when I dropped from about 1 meter (and stepped on it!!!).
It got some scratches on the cam, but the screen saved.
Why not just call T-Mobile and have them send you a replacement?
I accidentally got candle wax on my screen which left a permanent mark that was rough to the touch. I tried everything to remove it, even a razor blade, but nothing worked. I don't have insurance either but I called T-Mobile and told them the story. After paying $120 they sent me a replacement. If you can go this route it will probably be cheaper and faster than going through Samsung. I was pretty pleased with the outcome through T-Mobile.

Every glass has its weak spots. I am running without a screen protector for 3 weeks now and my phone has been through hell (keys, dropped, etc...) The sides are clean because of my TPU case and the screen is still like brand new. No scratches at all

Wrong. It's not scratch proof either, it's scratch resistant. You can definitely still scratch gorilla glass without really trying (phone in pocket with keys for example)

All the impact and momentum transferred into making your case explode instead of making your phone/screen explode.

easy. Call T-mobile add the insurance and after like a week go to local store for replacement
You can only add insurance within the 14 days from purchase or 30 days in some states. After that you are sol.

So when i got my sgs2 i figured the battery would be bad and ask if there was anyway around that. He showed me a cover that had a extra battery for it. At the same time he told me i could mess up my screen so i needed screen protecter. I learned that one wasnt true and now i wonder is there anything bad about the powerskin. Idk if it could over heat the battery say its fully charged and i put the skin on. Plus i charge my phone power off. Any help on this thing please and thank you.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
For one how do you figure the need for a screen protector isn't true? Yes its gorilla glass, but its merely scratch resistant not scratch proof. Without a screen protector you will find that out. Now on the battery cover I always found mine ran hot when using it plus just didn't like it. I went with a OEM spare battery.

Keys are really not what you need to worry about scratching the screen. Little specs of sand and such WILL scratch your screen. That crap gets in your pocket and you don't even know it. Next thing you know you have a scratched screen with no clue how it happened. Spend the extra $10 and protect your $500 phone.

Somebody needs to go back to grade school and learn about the hardness scale... I think it's called mohs scale or something. Unless your screen is made out of diamonds then i suggest you protect it. if you really want to test your screen then use your diamonds ring and scratch it against your screen.
I think many people fail to realize that glass has a pretty decent hardness scale and is stronger than most metals but is weaker than a lot of minerals found in sand.
Do you ever wonder why girls phones appear to get more scratched up than men? JEWELRY.

Grade school would be fun to go back, I get the point of it in my mind I was thinking if it could take a key hit then all the smaller thing would as well. It's all good that's why I like these forums the learning so I'll grab one no big deal. But the main point of this post was the battery case was hoping to hear more on that so far I'm just going to use it as a portable charger.
as for the phone price you guys didn't get any deals for it?

Phone was fully submerged in water for about a second. Quickly pulled battery and dried it off. surprisingly the water damage sticker is still white. Turned it back on after about 10 minutes. i was experiencing issues with the speakers while talking and playing music from the phone. rebooted a few times and hopped in my car to try the phone out on the Bluetooth and everything was fine. i even plugged the auxiliary cord into the phone and music playing normally. its been about 5 hours and everything seems to be working again. has anyone ever experienced something similar to this??

that is a seriously stupid idea, just pointing that out. it was inevitable that you dropped it.
secondly your speakers and mic need to dry out properly, out it in a bowl of white rice and leave it for a few days.
if you don't let the speakers dry out it can tear the membrane that is made out of a paper fibre material.

This is the best advice for any device dropped in water. I tell this to people at work that get their personal phones wet and I always get a befuddled reaction. The truth is that it absolutely works 99% of the time. The dry rice sucks the moisture right out.

put your phone under your rice box or basin, need to stay at least an hour or await the day..rice is type of desiccant..it can help to suck moisture.

So some small water made it's way through the front of the screen and possibly slid down the bottom somehow. While I haven't give it the raw rice treatment, I have dried it out with a hot air from a PC dust blower I had around. Everything seems to be working fine except for this. I can plug in my headphones to hear music. I can still hear the notifications and phone ringing, but music will not play at all. Anyone have any ideas? Does the phone have to speakers I don't know of?
Edit seems like the head piece isn't working either. Cuts in and out.
I would go ahead and put it in rice for a few days.

I have the same issue. I just got my glass replaced by a repair shop and it touches right in the middle of the screen if I push more than gently. It was really apparent initially, but after a few hours it stopped, even if I pushed harder than normal (not more than would be expected by average use though). However, once I put it back in my jeans pocket this morning it started touching over a larger area, and still hasn't gone away. I told the shop I'd like to bring it back in once they have more screens in stock (I got the last one).
They said they'd done two Note 2s earlier that day, so I assume they know what they're doing. Is it possible to cause permanent damage if I use my phone like this for the next few days?
