I dropped my iPhone while running in from the car during a storm, I let it air dry and would not work. I found an article on iphoneatlas.com and said to dry out your iphone you needed to place it in a zip-lock bag with Silica Packets and linked to: http://www.silicagelpackets.com
I ordered some via Priority Mail and let the phone air dry until I got them. I simply placed then in a zip-lock bag and let them in there overnight and tried the phone the next day and it worked perfectly. Maybe it will work for some of you as well, not sure the exact link to the article but you should be able to find it via the web site.

Got my iPhone wet in the rain, hardly a few drops but i guess it was too late. The water went in through the headphone jack and changed the water sensor to halkf white and half red, so warranty is down the drain! It prompted me to "power off" the iphone, which i did. I tried drying it for a couple of hours with a hair dryer (some 6 inches away from it). It happened yesterday,and its still not powered on. I am now trying to keep it under uncooked rice, wish me luck. I love that gadget, and had just got it some months back. Any suggestions? Is there any way to find out if the circuit hasnt shorted already.

well i was at six flags magic mountain yesterday. me and a cupple friends got on a ride called roaring rapids and if you ever been to knots its exactly like big foot but big foot your gunna get soaked no matter what. well we got on not knowing we were gunna get soaked cuz we saw some people comming off the rode and they were mostly dry. we asked the ride attendent can we leave are stuff in a locker or with him (just in case) and he said no there arnt any lockers and we cant hold on to them cuz if something happends blah blah blah. anyways all 4 of us got off SOAKED! first thing i did was pull my iphone out of my pocket and tryed to dry it off it was impossable cuz my whole body was wet. so i grabed some paper towls and dryed it off then hell started. i tryed to turn it off becuz it was 20% low battery and it wouldnt turn off. it cept poping up over and over again with 20% low battery i clicked ok and then the phone froze like that for about 10 min and it turned off. im takeing it to the apple store today. wish me luck :-(

My phone got wet (pepsi wet) yesterday. I took the case off and dried it off and the little "I need charging" pic came up. Then it died. I took out the SIM card and wiped the pop off, put it in some rice overnight...to no avail. I, of course, would lovea new or fixed phone... but what I really need is my calendar stuff as ALL my 2 year olds appts and docs phone numbers are in there. Is there a way to retrieve info?
