    I was soaking some dishes and knocked i670 into the bottom of the sink about a month ago. It was there a few hours before I noticed. My phone was only 3 days old when I did it!

    Now when I plug it in or insert the battery it just continually vibrates and shows a white screen.

    Any chance for it's survival?

    BTW, my husbands new i850 went into "flashstrap" mode the other day and I read the "fix" in the forums & just fixed it!! Thank you for that thread!

    Some people have had success just letting a phone with water damage dry out over time. However, in your case you say that your phone was submerged in dishwater for several hours. That's going to be pretty hard to salvage. I'd just get a new phone.

    take out the battery and let it sit out for a few days, then buy a new one if that doesn't work, if it just touched water for a few seconds it would be a whole new playing field

    This is really bad advise.

    There is no reason to throw good money after bad. If she wants to take the waterlogged phone down to the cell phone store and see if they'll let her try a spare battery, that's one thing but telling someone to spend $50 on a battery for a damaged phone that sat in dishwater for several hours is .... well kinda irresponsible.

    The thing sat in the sink for several hours. The water detector in the phone voids the warranty. There is little likelihood this thing is going to be brought back to life.

    ok first of all, some of that i couldn't understand. But, ok, she could try getting a new battery, but it could be the phone, it sat in water for a few hours, theres not much you can do, its probably fried... and how is it bad advice (*****ed with a c)? it wouldn't hurt, and if it worked, it would only be helping

    P.S. Can you tell me what "There is no reason to throw good money after bad" means also? JW...

    Are you here just to be confrontational? I'm about to put you on ignore. Everyone of your post responses to anything I write is sarcastic. It's getting old.

    The lady fried her phone and you are suggesting that she go out and buy a new battery. If she buys a new battery for a fried phone, she's wasting her money. Seems pretty simple to understand.

    "warrenty"

    "make that noticed"



    What again was it you were saying about second-grade writing?

    Yes. That's exactly what I thought when you recommended it.

    Re: i670 Soaked: Any chance of saving?

    so you searched my posts about my *****ing? ....just saying...

    "my way screwed up" is fine *****ing, and it makes sense...

    "warrenty" is 1 letter

    "make that noticed" is correct *****ing

    "it sped up, it was weird"? (thats missing one e)

    so i type fast and mess up 2 letters...a and e...
