Dropped my iphone in a deep puddle of muddy water on Oxford Street...

Oooppsss - while drunk in London I dropped my iphone in a deep puddle of muddy water....it was fully submerged for about 5-10 seconds while I had to fish it out

Earpiece speaker stopped working during the night but thank god, the next day the whole phone worked without fail - as if it never went through the truma!

Yay! Hope it stays this way

I've heard people in the past say that a good remedy for dropping your phone in water is to put it in a bag of brown rice for a week or so. Inconvenient, but you might want to consider it just in case. The rice is meant to draw the water out.

or in a bag with those little silica sachets you get with new shoes that always say DO NOT EAT! lol!

BTW did you set off the water sensors then? lol?

Strangely enough - the water sensor as not been set off... the phone was definitely completely in water for about 5-10 seconds....

mmm stealth phone!
