Theyre pretty good m8 stick it in the airing cupboard if ya got one or an eqaully warm place may take a while to dry out inside properly but there is a chance it could work for example my m8 dropped his nokia down a 4 foot hole with about 10 inches of water at the bottom that they had dug for the foundations of a pole barrier then couldnt get to it cause the barrier was in the way and would have to be craned out again so left it. 3 months later had to go back to repair said barrier craned it out got the phone and dried out and it still works today! granted the screen dont come on lol but it still works lol

I'd love to say it will still work, but in my experience of two phones being put in the wash when my mum didn't check my pockets, they have not worked at all. It is possible though, it depends how much water got into the battery and chips inside the phone. Hope it still works for you!

if Its less than seven days take it to a local mobile phone repairer and they will clear it or open the phone remove the matherboard and using pure alchool fill bowl and insert the matherboard for 5 minutes to clean any liquids and soap of the board and take it off and leave it to dry as the alchool will evaporate.
do not use any dryers or heaters as any soap or liquid in the phone will dry and could damage any small parts inside the phone.

Most likely it wont work. I know someone who dropped hers in the toilet, dried it out good. Took it in and was told nothing could be done to save it.

Probably,... no definately won't work.
My friend dropped her mobile into a chemical toilet (yuk!) - although she got it out (double yuk!!) - it was a gonna.
Look at your insurance. May be covered for a new one. Good luck. Lav!

50/50
Sometimes they still work, sometimes they don't. Just make sure it's completely dried before you turn it back on.

same thing happened to my K800i, what i did was that i used a hair dryer to dry the phone for about 15 minutes then it started working properly again. So try that. It will definetely work this way.
hope this helps.
please choose my answer as the best answer if i have really helped you. Please. thanks.
