    You need to try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to place your phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!

    Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.silicagelpackets.com/ that has them.

    Well put it face-down on a table and wait a whole day; if you place it in the sun (or a hot place), it's better. Try tomorrow if it didn't work see a mobile specialist/retailer he'll know how to fix it. If nothing worked then your phone is totally ruined, sorry.

    No, don't try turn it on, otherwise it would fry the whole circuitry. Hopefully you hadn't attempted to too many times. Take it to a technician right away. They have this equipment, it sucks the water off a phone. If it's still under contract, call your service provider and check if they can replace it. Better yet, take it to your service provider's store and ask if they can replace it themselves.

    That happened to me and they told me to put it in a bowl of uncooked rice for a few days and said it can draw the moisture out. It is did not work for my phone but it might work on yours.

    You should get a blow dryer and make it dry. Fully Look at the battery if their is a small pink line then it is water damanged.

    i heard something about leaving phones in uncooked rice overnight if it got wet

    what you should do is leave it in your airing cupboard all night then try it in the morning if that doesn't work then you have ruined your phone.
