disassemble your phone quickly and let it air dry for a few hours. You must do this right away before the water dries on components....

phone should work after doing this.

Re: Talked on the rain for 20 minutes wiht my tp

dropped my touch pro in the toilet (not on purpose) like I m j said, take it apart remove battery and let dry. I put my touch pro in a plastic ziplock baggie full of rice for 2 days, and im using that same touch pro to type this. it was clean water by the way good luck

Rice method is supposed to be pretty good like just stated, don't try and turn it on though while it's still wet!!!

Re: Talked on the rain for 20 minutes wiht my tp

removing the battery and rice/noodle drying is best bet. i dunked a mogul in soda on camping trip on car charger. i unpluged and removed battery and let it set for 2 days. when i got home i took it apart and washed every component in hot soapy water, hot air dried for an hour and let it set for a week before it came back on. it lasted a year after that.

but talking on the phone for 20 min in the rain? electricity and water don't mix. pulling battery asap will help keep components from shorting. i would say if you haven't shorted out half the phone your lucky.

best wishes.

Rice method has worked for me. I've also thrown mine in a couple pairs of socks and toss it in the dryer on low for a quick solution. Depends on how long you can go without it.
