By ArrowVision 1187196719 Reply Spam [+12] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebarely wet, just get a good phone to start. my phone got washed and dried and works fine!
By dude_0198312 1187646917 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removealso, it depends how long it's been in the water. 5*
By sinisa10 1187158763 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI left my phone out in the rain one nigh, and I tried this rice thing and it did not work because it was out all the night.
ALSO MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE PHONE IN THE RICE FOR A FEW DAYS!!!!
even without the rice thing because it wasn't really wet...that was pretty pointless

By brianhuangbh 1187667001 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'll remember this one
5 stars and a digg!
you have to make sure there's no water left. I would disassemble down to the circuit board and check before turn it on

By bangbangsplat 1196426495 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyour phone was in water for like 2 seconds. Not even. You might as well have just spit on it and been like "omfg omfg put it in rice quick!"
By chickensgocluck 1193462587 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy dad dropped his phone in the toliet the other day (no crap or piss, lol) and he took it apart dried it with a hair dryer and let it sit for about 12 hours. Next day, phone worked fine.
By noonespecial 1193040104 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei my tastes like rice now smells too
"you Turned Me On"
By dis_one_dude 1191640399 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removejust let the phone dry over night...your process is only useful if the phone is submerged for a long period of time. even then, rice is not going to "pull" excess water from the circuit board.
By noidest04 1190851306 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOk, it really may work without the rice, but the rice absorbs most of the moisture ( that's why people put rice on saltshaker)
what makes the mobile become ready for use faster than leaving it dry alone.
There are 2 points in witch rice is better than salt.
The first is that it absorbs more water than salt.
The second is that salt damages the inner circuits of the cell-phone, because the tracks that connects a component with another are made from a thin layer of copper, witch reacts and oxydes with salt ( AKA rust)
if my phone dropt in water .. i cant get the rice quickly
By zamalkawy123456 1190426415 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou dropped it in a bowl of water and took it out before any water could ever get in it, didnt even warrant taking it apart but simply drying off the surface water.
IN any case yes if it is to drop into water so that water goes in first thing to do is immediately take out the battery so the circuits dont fry,
and I prefer rice to salt to take moisture.
The most important thing is "turn off"
jasmine or basmati? I tried special fried rice but the phone got too greasy
seriously thanks for simple idea. If you put rice in your salt shaker it helps stop it sticking
i droped my phone in Coke. I didn't put it in rice and is still working just fine
By Scianne 1187780125 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDid u noticed that when u dropped your cellphone to the water, not even the battery got wet??All u had to do is grab a towel and clean it... -_-
PS: If your cellphone falls into the water, take off the battery and the SIM then let the sun heat the back part a few hours...Happened twice to me... =|
i was wondering
By lleti 1187608649 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou don't need rice to save a wet phone. trust me i've done it so many times cuz of my sister and my wife ... all i do is take the battery (and sim card, if its got one) wipe it dry and let it sit for a while (to dry) ...
By coydgreat 1187583746 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhat do you do if your phone gets eaten by a shark, in the water?
By jameswsparker 1187551129 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou buy a new phone
By lysacid 1187587489 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThen i realized my phone was in my pocket. All I did was left it for a few days and it worked. No rice or taking a part needed. Although I'm sure it helps it dry faster.
By el_roy1985 1187483423 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeso i dipped my phone in water and then did what u said but i 4got the rice :P so i ran to the cupboard to get it and then left it for about a week but my phone broke. :(

Nice video. Rated 5 and dugg !
I had dropped mine SE in to a container 5 inches deep and when I got it out, the phone was still working, then I removed fast as I can the battery, dry it whit hairdryer, then 20 minutes under the Sun and the phone was working perfectly ;]
By alus1onZ 1187129906 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI will remember the rice tip! This can work for pretty much any electronic device I bet as long as it isn't ruined first.
By ZackScott 1187128485 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removedo we know the phone was broken in the first place? Dont want to be a sinic, its a very cool trick, but he didnt show us that the phone was actually at risk of breaking.
None-the-less, great video, quick and straight to the point.
i like the way you point out that the battery must be removed first... 5 stars ^^,
