My daughter "washed" my iPhone in the cat's water dish yesterday. It came up with the "This accessory is not made to work with this iPhone" message regularly most of yesterday but today I only saw it once. The battery I think might have crapped out though as now it only lasts for about 10 hrs instead of the 3-4 days it used to last.
 
take a WEEE bit of green paint on the tip of a pin, and cover up the damn water indicator in the headphone jack....anyway:rolleyes:...u shouldn't use iPhones on the toilet.
Good Luck
 
that sucks, looks like a lot of people pee and chat a lot...

moral of the story, dont text where you poop

use a blue tooth and keep the phone safe !!!

of course if your texting or emailing or surfing or using the ipod or watching a movie or... well.. if your doing anything else other that talking maybe you should wait ;)
 
thats terrible! on the bright side you have a nice new paperweight...jk lol.:D

I hope you get it fixed, because if it happened to me, I'd be in tears right now
 
I don't know if this will work for the iPhone but try putting it in a bag of rice? People on a BlackBerry forum told me to put my BlackBerry in rice for 4-5 days after I dropped my BlackBerry in a toilet.
 
Thats a sign from god saying to get the iPhone 3G....:)

j/k but good luck! That would suck if it doesn't work :(
 
Is it me or did anyone else read the OP's thread title and instantly envision Ted Kenedy drowning his iPhone in the Chapquidick river in a drunken stupor?

Arrrruuhhhhhh I did...

That reminds me of the recent news story of the guy who had to jump in and rescue the drugged bear in the river to keep it from drowning.

That would be really helpful, if this thread wasn't started nearly 6 months ago.
 
I recommend setting it on a towel and putting it in the hotpress. I had this same problem, did you take out the O2 insurance on the iPhone?
 
what you should do is take it to apple and dont say anything just say it wont turn on and function properly and if they dont replace it for free pay the $150 of whatever it is... simple. why commit insurance fraud etc for a mobile phone. or try and get apple to repair it if they allow

Umm... Do you even see a problem with your logic? If he takes it to Apple and says nothing it is still FRAUD! He dropped it in water and he is responsible.

Wake up and take responsibility for your actions folks.
