Not-So-True Smartphone Hacks
Too Long; Didn't Read
Some of these do-it-yourself smartphone tricks are true, but many are false. Drying your phone in rice after dropping it in the toilet, or whatever other reason it may be soaking wet, is simply false. If you cannot remove your battery (in cases of iOS devices), carefully power down. Seal your device in an airtight bag - such as a Ziploc - with synthetic desiccant. If all fails, or you simply do not want to take the advice, take your wet device to a professional repair shop.
