Same thing happen to me. I know if you have uncooked rice and a Ziploc bag you can take the water out. First you take the phone out of the water. take the battery out water and electricity do not mix! then take off the covers (all even your personal cover) and the screws. fill your Ziploc bag with the rice and stick the battery and the phone in the rice.(if flip phone open and the put in.) keep the phone in the bag in for 24 hours. the water (most) will be taken out. then take the phone put on a absorbent towel and keep the battery and phone there for another 24 hours. then you phone will have no more water (just a little) there will be miner damage but hopefully it will work! good luck!

∙ 7y agoYou can try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. You need to place your cell phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!

Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that has them.

∙ 12y agoTake the back off the phone and take battery out. Fill a plastic sandwich bag with plain instant rice and then put the phone and battery in bag of rice, close the bag and wait a day or two (make sure phone is completely covered with rice). I was skeptical when a friend gave me this tip, but I have saved several expensive phones using the rice method!

How can I dry my I phone I accident washed in my washing machine?
"In the washing machine" is pretty extreme. The conventional wisdom is to pack it in dry, uncooked rice. If you happen to have a few dozen of those little silica gel "DO NOT EAT" desiccant packs, that would be even better. I'd recommend wrapping the phone in a dry paper towel before putting it in the rice; that will keep the rice dust out. If your phone has a removable battery, be sure to take the battery out right away. I've never washed my phone, or dropped it in the pool or the toilet, but my co-workers who have done that tell me that the rice treatment is about 75% successful.

What happens when you drop your phone in water and get most the water out why does it turn off and hard to charge?
You should take it completely apart and let it air dry, besides that all you can do is get a new phone. In addition, Your phone is electronic. Water shorts out the circuits and permanently damages it to the point of being non-repairable. I now have a water resistant phone that will work after being submerged for up to 30 minutes. My last three phones were destroyed by water. First by washing the car, second by my wife washing my phone while it was in my pocket via the washing machine and the third I dropped in the river.

How do you fix an iPod touch that is wet?
I'm not sure if this will work with ipods but my mom's friend's son accidentally left his phone in his pants while it was in the washing machine so obviously his phone didn't work . So they decided to put it under some rice. About 2-3 days later it worked. We think it might be because that the rice probably absorbed the water until it was completely dry or you can always just put it over a heater I suppose?
Can you still be hopeful for your phone to work if it went through the washing machine full cycle 3 days a go And how do you remove all the water or at least some?
You cant sorry buddy
