Installed BSE front cover last night.. I used minimal water, and turned my phone on this morning.. when on a white screen I see water seepage on the bottom left corner of the screen! Will it dry out??
Got a tip for us?

Don't panic. Yes it will dry out. Mine took 7 days to completely inside beneath the glass.
One in the headphone jack, one smaller one in the USB connector. You shouldn't see any red in either place.
hmm not too sure what im looking for, but I see no noticeable "red"
could I try a hair dryer?
Place it in a baggie of rice overnight and it should be fine. I had one that dropped in a toilet, and placed it in a small bag of rice for (7) days and it works like new...

Similar to the 3G/S, it's just straight in front of you of the iPhone 4.

Nice post ^^^ Definitely keep an eye on those indicators. You can also take an old toothbrush or an oral dental brush and clean the bottom of the iPhone at the connector. I had the 3GS in Palm Springs (118º in the shade) and the bottom of the iPhone accumulated that white and green crap without my knowledge and voided the warranty. Just clean that area periodically b/c the sensors weren't pink or red, but the area was corroded and the Apple Store was pretty quick to void the warranty...
I had water behind the screen of my 3Gs before, quite a bit probably because it covered a little more than half the screen.
End story, no water detectors went off and it still works perfectly. So you have a pretty good chance of the iPhone being un harmed.

did you use any drying methods? you used the phone normal? how long did it take?
So using it normal is ok? it will eventually dry out?.. its not like water is dripping out or anything.. its in rice right now.. but You all know how it is.. we need to use our phones
I wouldn't use it for at least a day. Just let it sit in the bag of rice. The longer you wait the better, but it's your call.
I took it out of the rice just to fire it up and see whats going on.. its gotten better in just 7 hours.. Its still got a ways to go though.. *fingers crossed* back to work tomorrow and I need my phone..
I waited around 30 or so hours. I used the rice method. Do not turn it off/on though.
lol i dunno dude... lots of people are suggesting that.. i wonder if i can take the back off and try to dry that way?
should I take the back off and dry it out more?
