Soooo... No joke. Here I was playing TW in the bathtub (hey I enjoy a good bubbly every now and again!!☺) when the phone slipped and went right in the tub of water😳. I freaked out shut it off and got the wife's hair dryer to blow hot air into it. Then placed it in a bowl of rice. It started working but the wi-fi was hosed. I also canceled my service provider since I'm no longer in country. So with no Internet I just stopped using it. About 3 weeks go by and I decide to turn it on for a book in iBooks. Wi-fi works!

This got me to thinking. Can I play TW if I get a new phone? Though I'm sure there are other lessons in this story I should be thinking about 😋

Put rice in a ziplock baggie and put Ur phone in in it. It will get all the water out. ***note uncooked rice

Rice is terrible to use. The best thing is dessicant or a brand name called Damp Rid. You can find it in any walmart or hardware store. It draws in moisture better than rice ever could.

The wife gave me the rice idea. I'm just glad it works and that I can transfer. Thanks

I fell in the river with my IPhone in my pocket. It works OK, but the camera light is permanently on. I tried downloading a flashlight app to see if I could turn it off that way - but no joy. Anyone had that problem before and able to solve it?

My daughter spilled iced tea into my phone and it hasn't been the same since.

I fell into bella's vagina once with my iPhone. it was cavernous and slick like a drained swimming pool, shellacked and covered in apple sauce. my jailbroken 3G died that night.
