This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It's weird... I have almost normal function except the speaker volume is down WAY low, and the volume control doesn't seem to have any effect on it. Also three of the hardware buttons aren't working (Call, End, and the Camera button). 🙁

I'll have to let it air out this evening. If it's not working right tomorrow I'm going to have to take it in to Sprint and see if they can fix it. I don't have the insurance, though, so it's going to cost me... 😡

It'll be okay (I hope). I can always buy a new cell phone (not that I have the extra money for that at the moment).

Try powering it off and putting it in rice (uncooked--absorbs tons of moisture) overnight. People swear to me that this works.👍


(Mostly it's the powering off that's important. So sayeth the girl who boiled her phone and still had a fully functional phone the next day.)

What an interesting remedy...

If I ever spill something on my phone, I'll be sure to try this 👍

No gym/treadmill?

I went to the gym, but I hate running inside... I like the fresh air, even though I am on the track... plus for some reason it is less boring and repetitive than being in the gym...

The thing that is supposed to help the most is a blow drier. It used to be that you could use one and as a result still get a new one with insurance (short circuiting your apparatus with water may void the warranty). However, nowadays there is this little strip inside electronics that I believe are oxidize when water short circuits the electronic. This means you might not qualify for a new phone. Hopefully, all works out well for you though.

I like working out inside better than outside. Seems to work better with my asthma

Inside track at med school. So excited.

I love working outdoors. That is the only way I can manage to get a healthy amount of sun light.
 
Guess who's trying to file FAFSA tonight...
 
I got the function of my Call, End, and Camera buttons back. I'm hoping that the rest will dry out overnight (I disassembled the phone and put it under my desk lamp). Here's the current state of my phone:

That's really clever... I wonder if that would work better than drying it with the lamp...

Yeah, the strip was oxidized when I took the phone apart. Besides, disassembling the phone voided the warranty anyway. If all else fails, I'll take it in to Sprint tomorrow and see if they can fix it for me (I'd have to pay, but it'll be cheaper than buying a new phone).
