WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR PHONE DROPS INTO WATER
Did you just drop your iPhone into a hot bowl of fail? Is your Galaxy swirling in the bottom of a toilet? Follow these instructions right now to give your phone its best chance of surviving immersion and avoiding water damage 1. Remove it. The longer your phone stays underwater, the more likely it is to suffer a catastrophic failure. Get it out of there! NOTE: If your phone is someplace dangerous (like a clogged toilet), take your time and find a safe (and sanitary) way to retrieve it. You’ll still have a shot at saving it. 2. Power Down. Shutting the phone off protects it from short circuiting. iPhone: Hold the Lock button and the Home button simultaneously for 5 seconds for a hard shutdown. Android : Remove the battery to shut down instantly. 3. Make Way. Water can quickly fill an entire phone. Make a path for it to get out by opening or removing all obstructions. Remove the battery (if possible) Remove any headphones Remove the SIM card Remove the memory card
