Perhaps this was due to the iFart application running?

My ex used to make me so mad from calling me all the time and arguing that I took my flip phone and broke it in half just so I would have an excuse to not be forced to talk to her.

My pre went for a swim in a toilet last night. It fell out of my halloween costume into a toilet at a concert in the city... so gross!

It's working now however the LED light is stuck on. I just zipped it up in a bag of rice to see what happens.

yuckers! Did it have company in there? Did it swim in an ool or a pool?

you might think about the rubbing alcohol trick talked about in this thread, both for drying and dissinfecting.

my wallet & pre fell in the toilet at the same time. i did the nasty and rescued them and rinsed them with fresh water. i was fortunate that there were no poops. yes the water was yellow! ugh

the phone was working but started tweaking out a little bit. the screen scrambled, the unit vibrated randomly, and it kept on acting like i was holding down the power button.

i took it apart and let it sit till i got home from the concert and powered it up and it came right on! the only problem is the nub button is dimly illuminated. it's actually kinda cool as long as it doesn't drain the battery quickly.

i don't think much water seeped into the unit. i have a hard shell case on it and a screen protector. it was probably under water for about 1.5 seconds.

i needed to rescue it because i'm going on vacation next week and i need the phone up and running. i don't know how fast asurion's turn around time is.

I accidently washed my palm pre in the washer, i grabbed it out after 1 min in the washer, so it was soapy, i dunked it in water to wash the soap off and put it in a bag of rice for a few days. it didnt work still. i figured it was a battery and i got a new one, and it turned on right away!
