Yeah, I dropped my phone in the toilet while I was drunk. I grabbed it like super fast at the expense of getting my hand in my own piss. I turned it off for the night and turned it on the next morning. It worked perfect for about 3 weeks and now it giving me an error randomly. "This device does not work with the iPhone...". I'm not connecting it to anything this just pops up. I checked the watermark and it is half pink. I am a moral guy but forget paying another 400 bucks. What if I just put fingernail polish or like bleach on a q-tip or something. Will apple get it, figure it out and come arrest me? Or if I get it past the at&t guys at the store will I be home free?
Could I pay to have it fixed? I'm sure the little metal docking pieces are corroded. Do you think this problem will get better or worse over time?
What you should of done.
Filled a glass up with rubbing alcohol.
Drop in your phone, let it submerge, then remove and let it evaporate all the moisture, your phone will be dead (but at least you would only be paying for a new battery, and not for water damage)

I drop my Iphone in the water (pool)
I droped my I-phone 8 Gb in the pool and I found out 15 minutes later. The phone got very warm so I believe that may battery maybe death. I open my phone and I found a red square over the battery that I believed that is the sign that was dropped in water. Now I am going to let it dry in my car for a couple of days and try. Somebody knows where to buy a new battery

What to do
I dropped my iphone in a toilet (yes, not good). I grabbed it within a few seconds but there was already water under the screen, phone shorting out, could not turn off, screen did not respond.
I took out the sim card, shook the phone in a towel, dried it with a hair dryer (not too hot), and then cooked it in the oven. Seriously!
I took a small baking pan, but about an inch of rice in the bottom to insulate the phone from the direct heat, and cooked it for 8 hours total at about 130 degrees. The phone works fine now! No trace of water except for the red half of the water sensor lit up (half white/half red now).
I hope you have my luck - and keep it away from water! I recommend turning it off if it will respond before you cook it, but I didn't have that option.

I fell in a swimming pool a couple of years ago with my Nokia in my pocket. I removed the battery and let it dry for a few days. It worked fine when I tried it again but the backlight would not turn off. I sold it to a friend for £10.
However, several WEEKS later it fixed itself, must have dried thoroughly. And that was on a device that could be disassembled, let alone the iPhone.

my girl dropped her iphone in the pool & it came back!!
she dropped it in the pool, it was underwater for about 2 seconds. i used to sell cell phones, so i have brought several back after this happening, from both pool & bath tubs. the screen was still on when i got it out, but went off a few seconds later. i immediately put it in front of a fan, because this is what i had done with regular phones. i looked up how to take it apart, but decided against it, but i did take the sim card part out. i put it in her closet the first night. after that i put it back on the charger, but it never came on. it made noises a few times, but no lights ever. this happened last saturday, & today is thursday, so don't go spend $500 too quick. put your sim card in your old phone for a few days, & wait it out. she had given up hope, but just decided to check again today, & she just called me on it. so far she says everything is working, so hopefully it will continue to do so.

If you dropped in the water and this one gets warm you do nopt have too many options. in my case by accident I got into the pool and iI find out 15- or 30 minutes after. It got very warm, Very hot so Inew that chenmical reaction took placed. This was a 8 Gb i-phone so you can not open it so easy. I let it dry for few days but it did not work so i open it and dry it up. I found two red dots. I try the alcohol advice from other member of this forum without letting the batery to get wet with the alcohol but it did not work. No signs of life, Now I believe that this advise was not a good one that is something that I was not supposed to do. I let it dry (my phone) for two week in my car. I bought a new battery ( Google: I-phone battery $25-35 ) and I replace it but it did not work. During this time I used my sim card in a old phone. Therefore, I bought a new 16g i-phone. My old simcard did not work with the new i=phone so I had to get it activated to my same number but ATT gave me another two years of contract.
I should have wait for the new one that came to the market 2 months after but I did not know by then.
My advice is dry it up as soon as possible and do not do anything else such as alcohol etc. Then replace the batery and pray a lot that it will work again or just buy the new phone and get tied to ATT for another two years.

i have 4gb iphone.i lost my sim tray any body help me where i gona buy sim tray.plz help me
How did you lose that, of all things?
alive.....
I let it dry for 4 days. Then the new battery came. I took the phone apart and took of the old battery, and let it dry for yet another 3 dayes. To day i solid the new battery on, and it immediately it came on - booting.
When apple booting screen came, i can se a lot of stripes behind the glass. I looks like it is not totally dry ore maybe the screen is damaged? it seems though that i could use - but i turned of the iPhone because it is not assemble yet.
advice please - let it dry more? can the glass come off, so that it can dry in between? ore just use it?

I dropped my iphone and now its acting weird
People, I dropped my phone last night and I checked this morning and it was acting stupid. u know the volume button on the side, everytime I try to turn up the volume, the volume automatically goes back down and on the screen the ringer picture comes up. I was wondering, since my phone is unlocked and jail broken, can i still send it to apple? to get it fixed or something? i think its been over a year though, so im guessing that options out the window. the phone seems so worthless now.

Try the dryer! NOT KIDDING!
I just joined the "i dropped my iphone 3G in the toilet" club, and was in mourning for a couple of days. The phone was on standby mode when it fell in, i had no idea I had dropped it until i was getting ready to do my necesities, i noticed something that looked like a phone in the toilet and tought...'who in the world would drop their phone in the toilet?!' needless to say, as i turned around to observe it better, It hit me...OMG!!! it was my iphone 3G!!!! NOOOOO!!! I quickly retreived it...had no idea how long it was in there for since i didnt even hear it fall in from my back pocket! Wrapped it up in toilet paper and i noticed the screen was already malfunctioning, it was turning on and off, and everything was out of place, like the slider button was on top and reversed . Couldn't do nothing else, but wait until i got back home. when i got home the next day, i took out the sims card and thought of a good way to suck all that moisture out! So I decided to put it in the dryer, on the shoe rack, on the lowest setting possible, i did this over and over until I noticed the moisture on the camera lense was gone. Then I took it out and let it cool for about a day. The next day i placed the sims card back in and tryied to turn it on, but it wouldn't turn on, so I was starting to loose hope, then I decided to charge it, and sure enough, right after pluging it in, I reset it and Ta-da!! it works!! exept for that big water stain on the screen, but IT Works!!!

My son dropped his 16G iPhone in the toilet. He fished it out in seconds, but it was dead. After drying out for two weeks in a ziploc baggie with silica gel packets, he thought it was still dead. But when plugged it, it charged and booted. Trouble was that it wouldn't hold a charge. So I replaced the battery for $20 and now it's back in business!
Try putting your phone in rice, it works.
Two weeks ago, i dropped my brand new iphone4g in my sink while texting. I immediately brought it out to see that it had turned off, i turned it back on and everything was fine....or so i thought. The speaker stopped working after a few minutes and i couldn't turn it off. I called my father and he said he had once dropped his iphone3g in the also. He told me to leave it in a rice box (you know, one that is shaped like a rectangular prism and filled with rice?)
So i did, i put it face up, sitting on top of the rice, and closed the lid. This was supposed to take all the water out of the phone as the rice absorbed it. My father and brother upgraded to iphone4g's a few days later, and my father gave me his old 3g. Two weeks later today, i finally took out my phone from the rice box....( i had been counting down the days on my calender because it was so tempting to open the box up ).....and what do you know? It works!!! I turned it on, the speaker is perfectly fine, i can use earphones or play it outloud, play games, everything. People say this rice thing is a myth, but it's not. It might be your only hope if you've dropped your
iphone4g in water, cause those things are NOT water proof haha. It worked for me, so, if it's your last resort, and you MUST have a phone, use a temporary one, and resist from opening it. It works, try it
