Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Phone dropped in water
-
26-10-2012 5:28pm#1So i dropped my phone (samsung galaxy) in the toilet this morning
i was able to rescue it quickly (about 20sec). My phone was on at the time. I immediately took the back case off and dried it all and then put the battery back in amd turned it in, not realising this was the worst thing to do. It turned on and then appeared to freeze, so i took the back off again and there was more water there so i dried it all off again amd then went and bought some rice. It has been sitting in the rice all day ontop of a radiator.
Tonight i put the battery back in and it turned on, but froze on the galaxy screen. About 6 or 7min later now the screen has turned green and is flickering with lines all over it. I can just make out the galaxy logo.
So i'm guessing now that my phone is dead and there's no way back for it?0

Not much luck as of yet. Each time I try to power it off it powers itself back on. The battery is 50% so will be a while before it runs down. It's in the bowl of rice, but I think its fcuked.
Oh its an iPhone btw. I didn't see the OP was a Samsung 0 -
I drop my phone into a lake when fishing 3 weeks ago, it was on and in the water for a few minutes cause the water was deep and took me a while to retrieve it. When I took it out I opened the back and took the battery out of it and dried it. Didn't not turn it back on for another 3 days but when I did it work perfectly, haven't had any problems with it since then. NOKIA C3
