    1. Get your phone out of the water and turn it off.
    2. Dry the outside of your phone with a lint-free towel.
    3. Place your phone in a large container.
    4. Fill the container with your silica gel beads and seal the container.
    5. Gazelle recommends waiting 72 hours to let your phone dry.
    6. Remove your phone from the container and try turning it back on.

    If you don't have silica gel beads on hand, you could try other household items. Gazelle found couscous and instant rice both work well as drying agents.

    Follow the steps in the above section, but replace the silica beads with either of these, wait for the same amount of time and then try restarting your device.

    Gazelle also tested conventional cat litter, oats, chia seeds and uncooked white rice but doesn't recommend these products because they leave behind debris that could damage your phone.

    First, Don’t press any of the other buttons, switch them off. Also, don't blow-dry it to avoid damaging the delicate electronics inside. If it is not serious, juat wait it until it dry. If serious, you can find some retail stores to deal with. It would cost a little. But it is the best secure way. Sure it depends on your judgement on the value of the phone.

    Dry well and do not turn on until completely dry, this is usually enough

    According to Apple, you should leave your phone in a dry area with some airflow to help remove moisture. You can even place it in front of a fan blowing cool air to "help the drying process," the company says.

    It happened to my phone today, but I was able to get it right and it helped me save it from breaking.

    I dropped my first cell, a nokia into the toilet bowl (it was in my back pocket) and it worked just fine after a day.

    The second phone I dropped in water was a total loss. It was my first razr, two days after I got it. Was walking through a constuction area and had it in my hand, guy almost ran over me on his bike and scared the crap out of me. Long story short, it flew across the sidewalk and into the hole in the street filled with water and a couple construction guys.

    They fished it out for me, but I needed a new one.

    But if your cell dropped in salt water, that is an other matter, not just dry it can do. Because the mineral still remains inside the fone.
    Does that mean there is no hope for phones, which were dropped into salt water? Or do you know any tricks to solve this problem as well?
