So angry I ruined my phone.

So Ive had the 3108 double account bug since start of EA. So today I decided you know what all I really want is my characters name. Ill just remake the character on the availble active account and relvl (would probably be quicker). So then I figure out I cant because that names taken BY ME! Its on the first account. So now Im thinking . I just wanna play. Im bored and I already cant lvl with friends as is. FINE Ill make my character on a lesser populated server and lvl him up then transfer my character to my friends server when everything stabalizes. So I go threw and make my character (an awesome lookin Rogadyn Bard) And I go to pick a server AND THEY ARE ALL LOCKED! No character creation. Geez I just cant win! So at this time Im like ok lemme go splash some water on my face and get revived and start the refresh server and wait process. So I go in the bathroom and start washing my face and my Iphone falls out of my pocket and into the toilet. WTH! Its like a streak of bad luck! So anywho the phone keeps turning off and on by itself now. Anyone know if setting it in rice overnight will work or any other trick to maybe fix my phone? :mad:

i would say shut down ur phone and put it on a heater. ( Don't know the official term in english lol )

Rice is your best bet, it's worked for me. Next time shut your toilet seat every time you use it.

Kids left it up. Its actually a rule in the house to shut it so the animals wont try to drink out of it lol. Any particular rice? I know brown rice isnt as absorbent but thats all I got in the cabinet right now.

Yes put it in Rice an no don't put it on a heater good way to destroy your phone for good.

Take a bowl put rice in it and put your phone in the middle. Rice always helps with wet devices.

Any rice really, the absorbance difference is negligible, If you want a suggestion use white. As said above DO NOT put it on a heater, you'll kill it for good.

Minute Rice is best but white rice works just as good

Rice, worked for a phone that got washed with clothes and one soaked in a coke cola! :)

Oh added note leave in Rice for 48hrs or more before even trying to turn on just to be safe that all water is dried up so don't short out phone

Must be the coldest heater ever. Most heaters have enough heat to melt the phones internals, even a hair dryer would do it.

Also a note with the rice trick. Make sure to take the battery out and that you completely seal the container you put the phone and rice in.

ok I got it in the white rice now. So 48hrs?

Pork fried rice works best

48 hours at least, a week to be absolutely certain. But 48 hours will usually work fine. Keep in mind, this isn't a 100% fix and your phone may still have issues. especially if you kept turning it on while it was wet. But any time I have or someone I know has gotten their phone wet, rice has worked.

And I can't stress enough that having a properly sealed container is essential, otherwise the rice will just absorb moisture form the air not your phone.

Don't forget to rinse it off before you put it into the rice...

the main thing is don't use it at all until its dry. water will allow electricity to flow across circuits. this is what will very much ruin your phone. just dry it then try using it, never turn on when its still obviously wet :)
