So uh... I woke up today looking for my phone, I couldn't find it anywhere... figured I lost it, oh well.
When I went to the freezer for some sweets (about 10 minutes ago), I saw my phone in there. I don't know how the hell it got in there. The phone is off. I don't remember if I turned it off, if it ran out of battery before (or while in) the freezer, or if it's broken.
So the question is:
*Will my phone be functional once it "defrosts"?
*When should I plug the charger back in?

Let it defrost and dry first. Battery out and you should be ok. We you drinking? There was one time at a NYE party I put all my junk on top[ of the fridge and it fell in the freezer some how, but I was drinking.
Lmao, how in the hell did you manage to do that?
You had to be heavily drinking, or so I hope!
Anyway thanks for the laugh and I hope it thaws out!! Lol

I fear you've already removed the phone from the freezer, so it might be too late but here is my advice. Don't take your phone out of the freezer until you have a big bag of rice ready. Remove phone from freezer, remove the battery cover and sim cover, take out the battery, sim and sdcard, then put the phone into the bag of rice (with the battery and sim covers removed, and make sure phone is completely engulfed in rice on all sides). Once the thawing process begins, the phone will start to sweat. The rice will absorb the moisture that it comes in contact with. Leave the phone in the bag for a couple of hours until it reaches room temperature. Then remove the phone from the bag and spray compressed air into every hole, nook and cranny of the phone. Then let the phone sit for several more hours or maybe a full 24 hours. Then insert battery, push the power button and, if you're religious, pray.

I once managed to salvage a phone that I dropped in water by blow drying using a hair dryer. Remove all the doors/windows from the phone and use warm setting on the hair dryer. Try to work the air into headphone jack, speaker, mic holes and other crevices.
Good luck!
I know somewhere, maybe walmart, or a cell repair store you can buy these bags that are made spacificly for water damage, your supposed to immediatly take apart the phone and put it in the bag for like 11hrs, better than having rice all up inside your phone, it works the same, but i dont think its a good idea for these types of phones, still good idea though
I saw it on the news, this lady took her razor and dropped it in a pool, put it in the bag, and the next day it worked like a charm
Phone should be fine and it only makes condensation with the sudden change of temperature, not defrosting it isnt wet.
I've recovered
several phones, laptops, electronic devices over my years from water damage by either using a hair dryer of if it's winter stick it in front of my abode's heating source. I've always heard about rice and silicate n all that stuff but heating sources as quick as possible always worked for me. I would think if just frozen you wouldn't want condensation on the inside of the thing during the thawing process...hair dryer.
Honestly, its no different than leaving them in the car in our cold Wisconsin winters.
What you did is freeze the battery. Once a battery gets so cold, it quits being able to generate power. Pull the phone out, set it on the table, and let it warm up slowly. Don't be tempted to add heat, it will warm up the battery too fast and cause damage.
My wife forgets her phone in the car from time to time, and this is all we've had to do.
I actually put it in the fridge, afraid of any potential condensation in quick defrosting, in this summer heat >.>. Was planning on taking it out of the fridge tomorrow morning and let it sit room temperature (like thawing a frozen meat =P).
I don't understand why there would be any water damage. From room temperature to freezing temperature at a rate of your average freezer would create condensation...?
I too have left my phone in the freezer one time,I just took it out and let it sit on my dresser for about 2 hours. The room temp was about 70 degrees. After 2 hours I stuck the battery on my little portable charger to see if it would charge so I would take a risk on it harming the phone or something. And it charged rite up. Stuck the battery in the phone and left it off while it charged for about an hour ab a half,then powered it up and it worked fine.

I have heard of the bag-o-rice trick. One time my brother dropped his Droid pro in the toilet (clean water thankfully) and he took it out and put it in rice and it dried within a few hrs and was good to go.

For drying out electronics remove the Battery quickly as possible! Then wrap it tite in a diaper for 24 to 48 hours, place it in a warm dry enviroment. The gel in the diaper is the same as the little packets the ship with electronics to keep them dry (the ones that say "don't eat"). It's ten times more absorbant as rice. I've saved a lot of friend phones an mp3 players this way. (you would be amazed on how many people drop their phones into toilets, dam the hooded sweatshirt!) The key in saving your device is pulling the battery as quickly as you can!

Thanks to you and all who replied... I knew exactly what to do... with my wifes cell that mysteriously after about a month ended up in the... freezer.....
I took it out took out battery put it in rice, used blow-dryer to dry it a bit.... after about 20 - 30 mins.... (maybe a bit overkill but.... better safe then sorry?) turned on phone.. VIOLA THANK GOD! WORKS!
This just happened to me. All was well for my Note 3, despite it being in the freezer for several hours. In my case, I wasn't drunk, but I had placed my phone in the freezer, as odexing was overheating the device, since installing a new ROM. What I did was put the phone face down on a table to let the condensation flow downwards, and waited about 10 minutes. Actually, the phone was even working when I took it out of the freezer (immediately!). I could feel the frost on the screen, and the blurriness from the condensation already formed.
Its probably to late... but DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER on hot. It WILL harm the battery and can damage the other internals of the phone.
my daughter put her phone in the freazer and forgot about it.now it will not charge at all.is the battery asleep or is it cactus
Hello,
by a rediculous accident I forgot my HTC Diamond in the pocket of my jeans when running the laundry :-(
Afterwards, I opened the cover, took out the battery and let the phone dry out for 2 days. Now I've put it back together, and connected it to the charger. The "ring" is flashing, so the battery is charging but the phone itself is not starting and the display remains completely black, not even the vibration kick on starting...
Is there anything I could do? Or perhaps there is a chance to get out some photos I have shot earlier, would also be something...
ive heard that taking apart your phone and leaving the parts in rice can help (because the rice absorbs moisture)

I read one Desire went through a washing sequence in a washing machine in Desire spesific forum and now this?

If the photos are on your micro sd card, you may be able to plug that into an adapter and plug it into your PC and gain access to them that way. Just be sure that micro sd card is thoroughly dry before doing so.
WORKING !!!
Hello,
thanks for the replies... This morning the phone booted!!! I was able to download the photos!!! But the screen has stains, obviously the remaining water.
PLEASE advise on how to dry that thing completely !!!
I think that I'm gonna pass on the rice thing.
@aaa - YOU ARE A JUNKA$$ !!! You think that's really funny?!? Especially when I'm currently TIGHT on budget and need the money for other things and the next phone is planned no earlier than Christmas... I'm hesitating whether you're a real human being...
You can dry it completely in an oven for three hours at thirty degrees or so. I've done this three times. If you have a fan forced oven, just turn the fans on, that'll be enough.
A safer way (if you can obtain it) is to leave the phone for 24 hours in a bowl of dessicant silica gel. You'll often get a small packet of silica gel when buying new electronics or other moisture-affected things. That small packet is enough, just put it in an airtight bag and leave it for 24 hours.
The next step would be disassembly and a thorough swabbing with denatured alcohol, but that's pretty extreme and only needed when the device isn't booting.
Some LCDs are hard to get moisture out of, some are not. Leaving the phone with the silica gel for longer will have a better effect. As the previous poster mentioned, rice also works (quite well), but takes longer than silica.
Good luck with it!
Another thin that will absorb moisture is common table salt. Take the phone apart very carefully. Remove battery first, make sure you're grounded as well.
Hello everybody.
thanks a lot for the numerous advices...
Unfortunately, I have more to report...
The phone dried out and booted 2 or 3 days later, as I said. The stains on the display disappeared as by magic one day later.
Everything was fine for a week until I launched the camera 2 days ago. The backlight of the display went off and came back only after removing the batter for 15 minutes.
Now the backlight is going off pretty often, sometimes it requires to remove the battery 1-2 times before it starts working again and yesterday it happened that it got activated again when I got a call...
Any ideas please?
And also the phone keeps overheating from time to time without real load (GPS or wi-fi) which dries out the battery. But I had this problem also before the laundry
Sounds like that moisture in the LCD unit left a bit of residue and is shorting the backlight somewhere.
Only option there would be to disassemble and swab the LCD boards and cables/connectors with denatured alcohol.
Alternatively, a new LCD unit should fix the problem if it persists, just make sure you alcohol swab the connectors before plugging them back in
Someone also mentioned drying out in salt before. While that does work, salt is extremely corrosive on solder and SMCs, so I wouldn't recommend that route.
i heard hair dryers are the bomb at the screen moisture, just take off all that you can and blow dry it.
I just don't understand your refusal on using white rice. It have saved countless phones.
Uncooked white rice is VERY mosture negative. Just put layer of rice, put your phone on it, cover it completely with white rice, seal it in. Ziploc could work too.
In a day or two your partially dry phone will be bone-dry. If it was soaked still you could first try to shake out water as much as can, soak it in distilled water to remove minerals, then white rice it for 3 to 5 days.
I had this problem with my Touch Diamond. Everything worked, but while i was trying to dry it I broke one of the battery "hinges" but the phone still worked after except only with black screen. The best thing to do probably is just leave it for a couple of days and hopefully your phone will be back!

exactly what ive said. ive read everywhere that rice is one of the best solutions out there
Like was said before you most likely have some corrosion on a few contacts, if you have about 6 bucks you can spare you can get residue free contact cleaner in an aerosol at radio shack or any electronics store and save yourself having to scrub each contact and connector. Just tear the phone down down spray all the contacts and connectors with contact cleaner let it sit for a few then spray it down with air duster to get any thats get under the resistors, in the connectors, etc that hasn't dried; let it sit till you're positive everythings dry and put it back together. Does the same thing as alcohol just alot less scrubbing.

Hello,
thanks for narrowing the problem down.
But for me it looks like something different, because:
1) I have been using the phone for 1 week without any problems and it got screwed after I've launched the camera app for the first time
2) The backlight works when I power on the phone. But its stop is event-triggered, like when I launch the sound or video player or when I get a call... Similar events would trigger the backlight back on.
Perhaps reflashing the software could fix that?
I went to a shop today and put another battery. The phone booted, anyway without any backlight, twice...
At least the device is still alive.
There probably was a tiny water bubble and it messed with phone when you turned camera on.

I rooted my phone A LONG time ago, and have never had trouble before, I dropped my phone in some water by mistake and tried to turn it on. I realize turning it on was dumb. I put it in uncooked rice for about two days and tried to turn it on, it didn't come on. But an hour or so later I felt the phone and it felt warm, so I tried to turn it on and the bootscreen came up, but it is just stuck at boot screen, it isn't even a boot loop it is just at the SAMSUNG screen, is this due to the water damage or a ROM?
If you can get to download mode I would try to go back to stock. That might work.

Did you try to open the phone and see if there is some rust on the MB? I remember my old phone(Nokia N82) got dropped in a pool and when i dried it up it did boot up but my keyboard was not working. i opened the phone up and saw some rust on the connector. After cleaning it up it worked.

if the phone was on or sleep, and it was water logged, the battery would short for sure.
it depends on how long it was water logged.
the old battery is presumed dead or bad..the phone may still function if dried.
if you've nothing else,
take out the battery
dry out the phone...if you can disassemble as much as you can...use hair drier or low setting or some warm surface..let it dry out for a few days..(rice is dry and is moisture absorbing) any similar material is fine..ex: silica - water heater surface; heat exhaust..when you dont see any further moisture in the glass screen is a good indicator.
clean the connectors...
use a new battery.
it just may work
Had a Captivate...same thing...except dropped in toilet.....that may be why it smells funny when i use it...
But anyways....after it was in rice for a couple of days....I let sit for over a week before I did anything else to it....now it works just as it did before except the battery life is gone.....
I'd let it thoroughly dry out for weeks if possible....just like everyone else said...Wife drop her iPhone4 in our pool.....got it working again....but the battery was shot....

Shouldn't matter if it was on fastboot, that connects to a pc.. never saw one connect to rice yet. Seriously I would have turned it off being it was still wet. Just make sure it's dry before you start using it. Water bridges the wrong gap and ur phone will short something out. Wait a full 24 hours imo.

You should have powered off the phone completely, as soon as you took it out of the water, then dried it out as much as possible before powering on again. Having the phone on, while water is inside causes short circuits, which fry the phone.
I'd say, power off the phone completely (no Fast boot), and dry out the phone as much as you can, before powering it on again. Keep the phone in a bag of rice for a a day or 2 (or longer, if you can). Keeping it in a warm (but not hot) area might help drying, as well. Then see if it powers on. The phone might might keep working fine, or might work for a while and die. Short of taking the phone apart (not for everyone) and try to dry it out more, there isn't much else that can be done.
My wife dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet about a month after it was released. She turned it off right after she got it out of the toilet, then took it to the Genius Bar. The Apple tech took the phone apart, and dried it best they could. She told my wife the phone might turn on, might not. Or might work for a while, then just stop working one day. No real rhyme or reason to it, and not much else you can do about it. Her phone has been working fine ever since.

Pretty sure he means the Sense option in Settings>Power>Fast boot; not the fastboot/adb interface.
Power off with Fast boot is not a true power off, but a deep sleep state. Might not make a huge difference. But if it were me, I would probably have turned off Fast boot in Settings before powering off and drying it.
Hmmm, what would happen if i would dry it when the phone was on.Would it be a 100 percent destroy?
No, it all depends on how much water got inside, and whether it got in a spot where it caused a short circuit. It might still be alright. But powering off completely is the safest way.

Never done this myself but saw the end result.. a guy I know propped up a hair dryer and turned it on low.. about 8-10 inches away ( adjust distance u want it warm, not burning hot.) Phone on in airplane mode. Don't need extra heat doing this. Ran hair dryer on and off for 3 days or so and the moisture slowly evaporated and display came back. This is just a suggestion, his went from horrible to very much tolerable.

A few people here have gotten moisture under the screen glass, and I think they were able to dry it our using various methods. Warm (but not hot) air is good, and also lots of air exchange to speed evaporation. So the previously recommended blow dryer on low would work nicely, as it fits both of those descriptions. Some folks have also recommended on top of your refrigerator (almost always warm), and in front of a fan might help too.

Hi guys. Today I made the mistake of dropping my AT&T LG G2 D800 into the toilet.
I promptly removed the phone from the toilet, it was submerged for about 2-3 seconds. The phone stayed on for a few seconds but then froze and powered off. I disassembled it as quickly as possible (accidentally cracking the back cover in the process), and put the disassembled pieces in a large container of rice.
I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions, and was also wondering how the battery can be completely removed.
I've also taken a photo of what looks like some sort of corrosion/damage on the logic board - if it helps. Otherwise, I don't see anything that looks damaged electronically anywhere else on the phone.
Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated, thank you!
First off, I'm sorry to hear about your loss I once gave my sister her first smartphone and she dropped it in the toilet as well good thing it wasn't a G2. The battery is hard to remove due to its design. They utilized all the space they could, so you have to remove some parts from the phone to be able to pull out the battery. Keep it in rice for a few days, reassemble and try your luck. Put the rest of the device in rice too, to ensure that all water has been drained.

It's my usual practice to bring with me my g2 in the bathroom. I dropped it, I dont know how, in a basin of water, a little fortunate than the toilet bowl. I was able to touch the screen coz I want to turn it off. But it just suddenly did not work. So, I gave up and left it in sunlight in the living room. The next day I tried to turn it on. Led turned on then dead again. I gave up again and just left it somewhere. After two days, I, out of habit, took it where I left it and turned it on. Viola! It turned on! What I did, I turned it off and charged it full. Now, to make sure, I put it inside our rice dispenser. I'll try to turn it on again tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Your best bet friend, is or was to turn off immediately and tear it down pull battery and hit with a dry chem spray heavily. Well not too heavy but then after that hair dry. Rice works in time but not many people will tell you rice can leave a starch film inside of your internals leaving you in a bad way if ever it was heated to liquify the starch. It will coat the internals and youll never get it working again. Though rare. It happens. Try to get a can of water erase. Or canned evaporater. I use it on repairs and have had many positive outcomes. When pulling battery on the devices especially lg be careful of the older nexus 4 and older devices as their internal battery flex terminals with pull right out.
Anyway. Hope you get it working bro. Peace
