Happy Update was Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Lisa Belville]

Ah, if only I had seen this last night.    My sister was over last 
evening and she removed the case.  Everything was bone dry, so she just 
had to plug it in.  There was a brief notification from the phone saying 
there was water in the lightening port, so charging wouldn't happen.



I kept the phone in a bag of oatmeal all night and went to the Verizon 
store this morning.



They looked at the SIM card and tested the charging and all was well.


The Verizon rep also reminded me about the depth and length of time an 
iPhone could be under water and still survive.  It's nice to know, but 
I'm not going to be dunking my phone into anything wet any time soon.



Lisa, who's off to find a water proof case that also looks nice. I know, 
good luck with that.

Hi, all.  I'm so ready to kick myself.


I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant?


I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so I could use the 
speaker phone.  I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid off the counter 
and into a full sink of soapy water.


This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a tempord glass screen 
protector.  The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone and a hard shell 
on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None of the ports are 
protected like the battery charger or speakers.


I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able to 
continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning. It seems to 
be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the screen are 
damp.  The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working.


Do I put it in a bag of rice or what?  Ironically, I have a day before I need 
to return it to Verizon.


How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I
even try??


HTH.  And yes, I feel really dumb.  I'm going to price Otterbox cases
now.

Yes, I had that button, which I used, so that it was probably about 85º.

Now a hairdryer is exactly what one should not use because it is way too hot, I 
guess if you have that button which turns off the heat it might be OK, but a 
more gentle stream of air for longer like a fan blowing air at room temperature 
would be much better.

Nothing happened to my screen protecter or anything, just grabbed it instantly, 
dried with towel, lightly cleaned with alcohol wipe, dried again and for about 
a minute put on hair drier, but not on hottest setting.

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I am really surprised by all the "strange" home remedies, I would, for example, 
never even think of dripping alcohol into the Lightning port and putting it on 
a paper towel where the paper "sticks into the port" I don't think is very 
recommended by Apple. They always warn not to stick anything into the port. 
Yes, you can sometimes get lint into the port if you always carry the phone in 
your pocket, but there are small pins in that port so unless you can see 
exactly what you are doing sticking something in there is probably not a good 
idea and when an Apple Geneous once cleaned out my port in the Apple Store all 
he used was compressed air. Besides blowing into the port a few times using 
compressed air is probably your best option to get any residual water out of 
there and once that is done any remaining moisture will dry in short order and 
without using the heat from a hairdryer or anything else.

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

So my information was outdated, the iPhone 12 series are IP68 water-resistant 
which means submerged for up to 30 minutes under 6 metres of water (19.8 feet).
Here is an interesting article and according to that Apple actually underrates 
the waterproofness:

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Your iPhone 12 Pro canm be submerged in 2 metres of water (7 feet) for a half 
hour, if it just fell into the sinkand you got it out right away I wouldn't 
even worrym. If it happens again wipe it dry and carry on. Worst thing which 
could happen is that your glass screen protector may come off. As for the 
Lightning port it's fully isolated from the inside, once again just wipe the 
phone dry, blow into the Lightning port a few times and maybe let it dry out 
for another half hour before you plug it in.

protector.  The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone and a hard shell 
on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None of the ports are 
protected like the battery charger or speakers.


I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able to 
continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning. It seems to 
be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the screen are 
damp.  The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working.


Do I put it in a bag of rice or what?  Ironically, I have a day before I need 
to return it to Verizon.


How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I 
even try??


HTH.  And yes, I feel really dumb.  I'm going to price Otterbox cases 
now.

Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Dan Yates]

Submerge the phone in dry, uncooked white rice and let it sit that way 
overnight, is what I’ve heard that people have done, it dries everything out 
but again be sure it is dry uncooked white rice

Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Gordon]

the hair dryer might not be such a good idea. You might get lucky and 
fix the issue, but you're also going to create humidity inside the phone 
that could cause major damage to the device. Rubbing the phone down with 
an alcohol wipe would work a little better. My ear speaker got water in 
it and I dripped a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the grill to 
evaporate the water. But don't make a habit out of doing this because it 
could ware down the finger print resistance that Apple applies to the 
outside of the iPhone. There is an app called speaker cleaner that uses 
tones like the Apple watch to expel water from the speakers.

Hi.  I would do this if I could figure out how to remove the case.  It feels

Simon, my sister was over here helping me look for rice.  I had none, but a 
short Google search suggested oatmeal or even couscous.  I decided to go with 
the oatmeal.  I put the phone in a ziplock bag and it's currently sitting on my 
dryer that's been running for a couple of hours.


The phone was working just fine before I powered it off.  The ominous thing is 
that my sister insisted plugging it in was safe even though I reminded how 
electricity and water didn't mix, yadayada.  She had removed the case and 
everything was bone dry. The phone connected, but a message popped up saying 
the lightening charging wasn't available because the phone detected water in 
the charging port.


we unplugged the phone and I gave it a gentle shake.  There was a slight mist 
of water that came out of the port.  It wasn't even two or three drops, just a 
mist.


I'm cautiously confident at this point.

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Simon A Fogarty]

Use the rice if you like but be aware that it’s been found to be a myth


The best thing to do is put the phone somewhere warmish and  in a towel or 
something
So that the warmth   allows the water to evaporate

Hi.  I would do this if I could figure out how to remove the case.  It feels 
like it's in 2 separate pieces.  The Verizon store put it on for me, so I never 
saw the case before it was on the phone.



I think I have some rice, though, so I can at least do that.

Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Lisa Belville]

Yes, this was the case for me.  I don't think all of the phone even 
touched the water, but it's a long phone, so I believe the bottom 
portion containing the speakers and of course the lightening port got 
wet.  It didn't seem to retain a great deal of water.  Right now I'm 
confident, but it's my only phone, so I'm still having to use it, at 
least for a few more hours.

That sounds like good ideas about turning off and removing from case. I tried 
to remove mine, but it is securely in there. However, the phone was just 
floating on top of the water, and could not have been in it more than ten 
seconds.

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Carolyn]

Once my trusty 11 fell into a commode, thankfully not a recently used one. I 
grabbed it out immediately, just kept on trucking after thoroughly drying - no 
effect whatsoever. That happened several months ago.

Subject: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

Hi, all.  I'm so ready to kick myself.


I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant?


I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so I could use the 
speaker phone.  I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid off the counter 
and into a full sink of soapy water.


This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a tempord glass screen 
protector.  The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone and a hard shell 
on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None of the ports are 
protected like the battery charger or speakers.


I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able to 
continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning. It seems to 
be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the screen are 
damp.  The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working.


Do I put it in a bag of rice or what?  Ironically, I have a day before I need 
to return it to Verizon.


How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I 
even try??


HTH.  And yes, I feel really dumb.  I'm going to price Otterbox cases 
now.

Hi.  I would do this if I could figure out how to remove the case.  It feels

I think I have some rice, though, so I can at least do that.

RE: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Richard Turner]

Agreed, do the rice trick, but I think those phones are rated pretty much water 
proof up to 3 feet or is it 3 meters, in any case, remove the case and put the 
phone in the uncooked rice so it is completely covered, preferably with the 
charging port facing downwards.
Then, use paper towels to dry out the case and let it sit over night as well.
Then, try plugging it tomorrow morning and I'm sure all will be well.

I would start by turning the phone off, I mean all the way off like power it 
down. Then I would take it out of the case and put it in a bag of uncooked

Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, all.  I'm so ready to kick myself.


I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant?


I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so I could 
use the speaker phone.  I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid 
off the counter and into a full sink of soapy water.



This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a tempord glass 
screen protector.  The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone 
and a hard shell on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone.  
None of the ports are protected like the battery charger or speakers.



I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able 
to continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning.  
It seems to be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches 
the screen are damp.  The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are 
working.



Do I put it in a bag of rice or what?  Ironically, I have a day before I 
need to return it to Verizon.



How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I 
even try??



HTH.  And yes, I feel really dumb.  I'm going to price Otterbox cases 
now.  



Lisa
