I know this thread is pointless but I just had to let go of some pains
Took my morning dump this morning. After the victory I got up and my sgs2 thought it would be a good idea to jump out of my pocket and join my swimming friends
Is a bag of rice still the best option?? I pulled it out really quick however, its not powering on even after 3-4 hours of drying...
Also, luckily I was due for a new phone with Fido and had alot of unused "fido dollars" to cover the cost of any phone i chose. I played around with the GNex and I cant for the life of me, figure out how that phone compares to the sgs2 in anything-that includes screen! Even at full brightness it simply isnt as bright.
Got a white iphone 4s still sealed in the box already posted on kijiji for $600.00
Looking for some good prices for an sgs2 right now.
That's pretty ****ty.

Never power it on after it's gone swimming. Just put it in a bag of rice and let it dry for about a week or so. I had an iPhone 3GS that was completely under water for about an hour and after a month in a bag of rice, it turned on without any issues, other than that the backlight of the LCD was dead.
hehehe, no ****!

ahhh gutted for you mate other than an iphone 4s there isnt really much choice out there if your looking for a powerhouse smartphone
i purchased the iphone 4s with the intention of selling it. A sealed iphone 4s still sells for $580 and up. Want to use the money for a new sgs2. Good thing is, i was one of the unfortunate few to purchase the slightly handicapped camera version. Going to look out for that.
I wont lie, i am tempted to try the 4s out but that screen just needs to be much bigger. Dont want to crack the seal.
Do yourself a favor, get a waterproof case for your next phone.
I see SGS2's around here going for 400 or so. I'll trade you mine for a GNEX hahah

lol thank you very much for the helpfull ideas ladies and gents. Turns out, samsung made a well built phone
Its working, though the touchscreen is not nearly as sensitive as before and the camera has fog on the other side of it. But i have a feeling a nice nap in the rice bag overnight will do the trick.

If you're thinking of having sushi later make sure you don't use that, as it'd be a whole different kind of sticky-rice.
lol. yea. the phone is definitely going to be spending some time in the cleaning process afterwards! Now, what to do about the new iphone 4s and contract i signed. Take the cash for the iphone 4s now, or go back to the store and cancel the contract agreement to use for later......
Mate the htc sensation is very close in most aspects to the sgs2 with the exception of nand memory. User reviews recon its made stronger and the screen shows colour better.
As for the iphone sell it and get sim converted to normal one.

hah i was surprised at myself for how non hesitant i was to reach in and grab that sucker soooo fast
lucky for me it was in a clean toilet in my home
anyways
void sticker didnt even get touched
immediately ripped out the battery
let it sit in paper towels for a bit
and then put it in a warm place near a heater just not very close
two hours later i dared to turn it on and im totally safe ^_^
its been a few days now with no problems at all!
you should put it in a bowl of dry rice just in case
does it feel nice to the face? haha glad it survived. Sure way to know if you have the peeling screen issue. Seems like yours is sealed 100000% no dust for you!

I dropped my Treo 600 in a freakin lake about 2 months after getting it. I dove in and got it, threw it in the boat and it was dead, dead, dead. Took it home and it sat on the counter the remainder of my vacation. At first you could see the unit exhibiting small signs of life and eventually it came back and worked 100%. Sometimes miracles happen

Wow, I'm surprised your Nexus One still works dude.. guess HTC's testing process did do some good. Or, you just got extremely lucky somehow.
On an off-topic side note, did anyone notice in the video where the Nexus One fell, the screen did not crack? I assume this was an almost final version of the product? Why though, does when people drop their phones on the concrete it still breaks? If HTC went through this rigorous testing process, why are phones breaking so easily?.. Of course glass breaks easily, but did the material they dropped the phone on was not as dense or hard enough as concrete? Or was it simply the multiple angles they tried..

In the video it looks like the phones are dropped from what appears to be rather less than hand-holding height, onto a surface that appears to be slightly rubbery. Concrete tends to be rather unforgiving no matter what you drop on it.
In December, I dropped my HTC Magic into a kid's swimming pool, left it to dry for one day and it's still in great working condition today =)
Did this exact same thing to my old Nokia 8190 back in the day, and the bowl wasn't "fresh". Phone came out fine other than the battery life dropped to 6-8 hours of standby, ended up carrying a spare in my wallet.
Oh lol, nice reaction tho..

too much for me, 75 bucks for that, or 100 for a brand new phone through asurion. I also had a light spot on the lcd, and the light leakage, so i am due a new phone lol.
I had just paid 60 for a new digitizer damn it. Didn't even get to use the ****in thing long. I had a scratch on my screen and i buffed it out about 8 different grits of sandpaper then jeweler's rouge and plastic polish, then the next day after a week of sanding and buffing I scratched it again, so i bought the new digitizer.
On a side note, the digitizer is still in perfect condition and is for sale on fleabay for cheaper than anyone's if you guys want to snag one for cheap. I wont link it or anything because i know that is against the rules. Battery door is on there too, and the front camera is going on there. maybe other things. I decided that I would put on there that it got dropped into a trash compactor in case asurion tries to hunt me down and wants the broken phone. I need the broken phone parts to be sold so i can pay for the deductible damn it lol.
If me saying those are for sale offends you, just let me know, i'll delete this post
It wasn't a far drop though, maybe 3 feet onto tile/concrete. Just so everyone knows. The one frickin day i didn't have my jelly case on. I have done this multiple times with the jelly on it and that LITTLE bit of cushioning is all it takes to cause ZERO damage to the phone. INSANE
Oh yeah, and the angry birds was working for me yesterday as well

Man I feel ya. I dropped my phone while running, I used my phone for mp3 and my tracks (great app! btw) while running and now my camera lens cover is cracked and tons of scratches all over but nothing like your, so sorry dude. Only protection I have for my Evo (stupid me waiting for Otterbox defender) is a bodyglove belt clip cover and a screen protector. At that moment I felt like I'm about to cry, my baby is all messed up. After all that abused this phone is still going strong with other than the cosmetic issue. Point said I know exactly how you feel and feel really really sorry for you guy. Good luck and hope you somehow get your phone back whether through replacement or another way.

The lens/glass front of my camera is cracked. Is there any way to fix that or can that be salvaged from your phone and somehow put onto my phone, or is all one piece tied to the main board?
I haven't even tried hard to figure it out, I've just lived with a camera that takes pictures with a line down the middle...lol.
If I can get that off your camera and put on mine somehow, I'll buy it.

True but the rain would interupt with the capacitive screen making it nearly impossible to use in the rain anyway.

I have done in the past too, I was on the phone to my mate whilst i was drunk
it ended up with me dropping the phone down the toilet, still urinating, having that intense thought of whether to dip my hand in and get it or wait till i'd finished.
anyway i ended up sticking my hand in the toilet, still urinating, urinating all over the floor, all over my hand, all over the wall and toilet seat.
It was horrible but luckily my phone survived...............I then gave it to my GF and bought a Samsung Galaxy S1
Never do i urinate whilst on the phone, Lets all just be grateful i wasnt doing a poo !

that happened to me while pooping haha, i heard something drop in the toilet bowl, i thought i just released a big one. upon checking i saw my phone floating with the huge submarine i launched, you could barely recognize it because it had the same color. i was forced to pick it up with my bare hands and washed plus sprayed the whole sucker with alcohol and Lysol hahahaha! by the way that was a Nokia 8910
Well, in my opinion, the current Samsung Galaxy Note is already a better device than the S3 - for me at least. I love the massive screen, the high resolution and the performance of the device is still fairly impressive (heck, quad-cores are pretty overkill for the most part). Plus, the S-Pen does have its uses also. All I regret about the Galaxy Note is purchasing it on contract only to have its price drop drastically a week or two later.
I'm going to stick with the note 1 for a long time got it since end of october 2011 (yes from the begining), and can't be more happier with g.lewarne, kernel and rom, love this comparative .

For anyone interested in the results of the drenched in toilet water soaking my N4 took after Thanksgiving, it works.
I removed it from the rice that I replaced 4 times. I don't know how to take the phone apart and clean with solvent, however it seemed dry upon inspection and the display looked like brand new. I turned it on and everything works great. I was surprised because I figured the speakers and whatnot might not be clear but they sound crisp and new, no problems at all.
So I can recommend and verify that the rice treatment works, now I am just waiting for my other N4 to arrive from back order.
Good to hear. Thanks for the update.
Wow, glad to know that actually works. Was it in a warm environment (Like what temperature standard 21ish *c)
Does it smell like poop?
That's awesome.. I was very sad for you for a while.. Couldn't imagine how upset I would be if I destroyed my n4

I've had good results removing the battery asap but obviously in this case we need to power it off through the OS right?
