Title: Washed my iPhone
Post by: kopfjäger on May 26, 2013, 06:16:56 PM
Tuesday night. Let it sit out for a few days, put it in a bag of rice and it came back to life today.

Get your contacts/info out ASAP. No telling what will happen in the future.

Oh and I re activated my 4s and it feels like a brick compared to the 5.  :D

This is why I only get the water/shock/dust/saltfog etc proof phones.  I'm really rough on equipment.  So far, my Motorola Barrage (yep, dumb phone) has withstood my wrath well.

my Casio Gz'One phones have always been reliable in that regard as well!

Mine too, but when I tried my standard party trick of tossing it in a glass of water over the weekend, I discovered mine had sprung a leak. Fortunately, a day in rice & the Arizona sun dried it out with no apparent after-effects, but I'm not going to be doing that again...

I love doing that trick...I have turned on the video function and shot video of people at a party from the inside of a pitcher of beer...."Beer Goggles"....LOL

Riddle me this. I received my replacement phone and decided to keep it even though the wet phone came back to life. I backed up the wet phone in iCloud and turned it off per instructions. Turned on the new phone and went through the steps to get it online. Through iCloud it brought back all of my data, apps notes, contacts etc., it even brought back my screen saver. All of this with the wet phone turned off. How the hell does it do that?

To protect your new phone, I recommend squirting a tube of dielectric grease in a plastic bag, then chucking your phone in after.

You backed it up in iCloud.
