As I was getting dressed I accidentally knocked it into a full bathtub.
Got it out of the water, got the battery out (the phone somehow turned on from contact with the water), dried it with a towel, put it in a bowl of rice and put it in the oven for a little while, then left it in the rice for the rest of the day (being Sunday I could not think of where to get anything more appropriate.)
Although I have insurance I did not want to get a refurbished phone, mine was working perfectly (especially with UD 8 and Chevy 1.1GHz kernel).
Yesterday I wondered if putting it in the oven was a bad idea because at one point the screen looked all blotched and discolored.
Anyway, I put the SD card and battery back on this morning and everything seems pretty much perfect except that you can hear a bit of a hissing sound on the speaker when playing music or youtube videos if you put your ear close to the speaker, would this be from the water or from the oven heat? if I had to do it again I probably woul;d not put it in the oven ;o
I don't imagine the speakers can be replaced in this thing?
The screen looks perfect and the battery lasted all day (still at 30%) even though it was at 90% when it fell in the water. I guess I should consider myself lucky.
