I've done that :neutral:

No hair dryers. Blowing heat sounds smart, but there are two problems. First, the blown air may actually push droplets deeper inside the phone. Second, even on a low setting, a blow-dry may be too much heat for your phone to handle.

Before reading the article, my first response is:

Get another one.....I had an old motorola that was less than a month old. It fell out of my pocket onto the damp sidewalk and stopped working. WHen taking it in for repairs the tech said "it got wet"....what? the sole of my SHOES didn't get wet when I stepped onto the sidewalk how could this one? I dunno he said, the sensor inside said it was wet. They'd given me a loaner phone, I just never took it back.

Take out the battery and put the phone in a bag of rice... Leave it for a few days. I dropped mine in lake, fully submerged and other than a little screen damage on the one side it worked perfect
