Does anyone have suggestions for a waterproof case for the LG G3? I see mostly cases for iphone and Samsung.
This thread would be more at home in the Accessories section.
More towards your question, the G3 is more or less waterproof on its own honestly. I've seen a water test with it on YouTube and also my phone ended up getting soaked like crazy in a freak rainstorm and everything is perfectly fine haha

Trident case. I can't remember if it was the Aegis or Cyclop series.

The LG G3 is NOT waterproof nor does it even meet water resistant classification requirements. Thinking it is will just get you in trouble.
Sure, phones today are sealed up a little tighter than before. I think glue is more commonly used in the manufacturing process now. But the G3 does not have a back that seals, nor are any of it's buttons or ports sealed. Therefore it is very easy for water to penetrate and kill your phone. It may not happen every time (hence the videos), but don't be dumb and expect your phone to survive any contact with water. You may consider yourself lucky if it does.....

Just because LG didn't take the time/money to pass a super vague "test" to be certified doesn't mean that it isn't. Plenty of phones these days have been tested externally and shown that they are in fact water resistant. Most blow that crappy 3' for 30 minutes "test" out of the water. See what I did there?

Great. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and test your theory out by swimming with your g3 for lets say 20 minutes. I look forward to your video of the test and your results.......

Niceeee!!!!
I'm of the belief that the LG G3 is NOT waterproof. It may be resistant to water splashes but compare this phone to any waterproof device from phones, to cameras to watches and you can come to a conclusion that this device is not waterproof. I have seen that video as well but I doubt few if any who doesn't have money to throw around will attempt that.

I've seen those videos, but you are the one telling the OP that the phone is basically waterproof. You are telling him to risk his phone based on your expertise. You should also have to put your money where your mouth is and swim with your G3 for 20 minutes and post the result.
You are willing to risk the OPs phone with your recommendations, let's see you put your own phone at risk.......
We eagerly awake the results...... But somehow I doubt you will have the balls to risk your own phone which makes you recommendations null and void......

You need to calm down man. Its okay to voice your opinion but being rude about it doesn't help anyone. This thread isn't even asking if the g3 is waterproof he was asking is there is a WATERPROOF CASE for it like the lifeproof for iPhone.
Just please calm down sir. Everybody love everybody.

I had a waterproof wrap for an old s3. It was like a condom you shoved the phone in and then put a sticker on the back to seal it up. I can't find em anywhere but it worked great.

It was suggested that the OP doesn't need a waterproof case because the phone "is basically waterproof"
I'm just calling bull**** where I see it. I also don't consider my post rude. If people claim the phone is waterproof, then they should be willing to test their theory with their own personal phones. Otherwise they should shut the f-up. Now THAT might be rude, but I'm fed up with people claiming to "know" stuff, and then not back it up. If the OP follows their advice, then he risks ruining his phone while they haven't risked anything themselves with their "expert" opinion. So I'm calling them out.... to all the people on this thread that have claimed that the G3 is "basically waterproof" - prove it with your own phone.......
sic0048 said:
I take that as a confirmation that you won't be exposing your G3 to the water test.......
What about the others? They seem to be very quiet after making such bold claims earlier in the thread.......

You win, no one is going to go willingly put their phone in water. That being said, I'll still not care about it not being certified for water resistance. I'll take the videos for enough as they are to not be paranoid about water (which I never would be to begin with) clearly you've got more issues than needing to prove himself to the internet though. You should seek help
The OP asked a question about a water-proof case. Going off on a tangent about how the phone might survive on its own adds very little to the topic. Please keep it on topic from here on out.
Possible option
Thus far, I have not found an actual "case" for the G3 that is waterproof, but I found one on Amazon. Just search for "Buku Wireless IPX8 Certified Universal Waterproof Phone Case Bag W/ Armband Neckstrap and Earphone Jack" ( I can't post links, as I'm a new user). I've used a variation of this for an iPhone a little while ago, and recently used my sister's, which was more like the one found here, which had room for her IPhone 5, old school hotel room key (not a card), and cash, and have not had any issues whatsoever (it kept out water and sand with full functionality). I can't speak to this one found on Amazon, but I've ordered one. While it's not a case in the traditional sense, it does offer waterproof protection, with the ability to take pictures. As an added bonus, it has an armband, which is great if you want to run or cycle when there's a chance of rain, or swim with it. I can post a review once I've gotten it and had a chance to use it.
I know it IS off topic, but with regard to what previous users posted, but I personally wouldn't recommend operating under the assumption that the phone itself is waterproof, or even water resistant for that matter, though I have dropped mine in a urinal and peed on it without any issues. I certainly would not put my own phone to the test.

Havn't heard anymore stories of s4's breaking in peoples pockets for a few weeks. Hopefully this was just a bad batch and not testament to build quality. Still a little nervous t go naked but what the hell I got squaretrade. has anyone seen any new posts of this happening in the past few weeks?

100% willing to bet that none of those people gave the full story. Phone screens DO NOT just brake, they don't just "magically" crack. Something with force caused, one way or another
You're safe, I go in and out of my phone case all the time and my S4 is still like New. Looks just as beautiful as day one, zero hiccups!

I know how you feel, I hate hiding my beautiful S4 in this ugly Incipio (getting a nice Spigen soon). The phone is built to extremely high quality, don't buy into the "metal" ignorance. Polycarbonate is much more durable and just as strong per pound as aluminum. Don't be afraid, the S4 does not take damage easily if not no more then any other phone.
If you want 100% relief that you can replace your phone for under a couple hundred bucks then get a dependable third party phone insurance program (Don't bother with AT&T's...)

Well, I loved the iPhone, but I was constantly waiting for a jailbreak to come out for each iOS version, just to quickly lose my jaikbreak if something went wrong and a restore was needed. And knowing that these headaches don't happen as often on android, and that rooting is not as necessary as a jailbreak on iOS, made me make the switch. And I'm glad I did.
I still prefer the iPhone's build materials though. I've never been a fan of plastic.

The Samsung fanboyism here is just as bad as Apple fanboyism, but because its here, its okay right? Its hilarious that the fanboys here don't see the hypocrisy of their statements. Pretending there is no issue and kissing ass to Samsung isn't going to get us, as the consumer, anything positive. Samsung doesn't care about you and more then Apple does.
Read the thread yourself. One person witnessed the screen crack while they were having their contacts transferred to their new S4 at the store. Obviously he got a new one right then and there but it WAS just sitting there.
For all those who say it's impossible for a screen to crack with no external force applied, that's not necessarily true. I believe I read somewhere that the S4's AMOLED screen and the Gorilla Glass 3 are glued together. If that's true, then it is possible that poor assembly technique could lead to internal stress in the assembly. For example, the two pieces should be allowed sufficient time for temperature normalization in a (temperature & humidity) controlled environment prior to assembly (gluing together); failure to do so would cause a bending stress (bending moment) pre-load in the assembled display.
I imagine poor assembly procedures would end up as batch-to-batch variation, so maybe there are some bad batches out there.

I'm thinking the same thing (bad batch).. or maybe these are all late friday models (for those who don't know this term, its used in the auto industry. cars made late on a friday afternoon are said to be generally inferior since workers mentally 'check out' and start thinking about the weekend and don't pay attention/care to what they're doing.
Its dissapointing that Samsung is pretending its not an issue. This should be covered under the 1 year manufacturer warranty. I don't know if it'll happen to me but
now I'm forced to pay for extra warranty just to protect myself in case this happens. My next phone probably won't be a Samsung because of this.

Sorry, but this kind of talk is just silly and pointless. Every time someone complains about a possible defect there's always a chorus of nerds who say "well, it's not happening to me so it must be your fault". It's tiresome. Maybe many of the cracked S4s weren't treated like raw eggs, but maybe the S4 cracked where other phones (notably the iPhone) would not. It's obviously kind of a delicate device.
Now, maybe people should be aware of that when they are selecting a phone, but the responses here swing too far into a weird kind of victim-blaming type area. It's not unreasonable to expect some durability from a phone.
My gf dropped her s4 case less on concrete 4 times now and has only had a few scuffs on bezel/rim.. Clearly the phones that broke so easily had defects

If the glass and the screen are glued together, I would wonder what the effects of cooling and heating would be? Two devices glued together, expanding and contracting at different rates would do some strange things.
This would explain the story about the screen cracking while contacts were being transferred; cold phone sitting in a box, and it heated up too quickly as the battery, wifi, data, processor all revved up after just being powered on.
I understand why folks would be suspicious of stories on the internetz of phones breaking; today, very few people seem to want to take responsibility for their actions, such as sitting on their new expensive toy. But to dismiss such claims right away on a newly-released device when we don't know of all its faults yet is not wise either. Sometimes karma is a *****.

LONG VERSION:
Well when I first got my idol 3 on May 23rd the first thing I did before turning it on was to install a cheap plastic screen protector. I then turned it on, played with it and poured over the outside of the phone. Build seemed good. The only area I genuinely disliked was the design choice laying the glass screen on TOP of the frame/bezels. It looks nice but I thought at the time, 'makes me worry about dropping it, even with a case'. I always use TPU cases with no problems and installed it on the idol. Today my screen shattered. I did not drop the phone (haven't dropped it once in the 3+ weeks I've owned it). I did not bump into anything. The phone was in my side pocket of my work pants (not 'skinny' jeans I wear loose pants/jeans. Side rant: no disrespect to the hipsters but skinny jeans are not in my vocabulary, I don't know anyone that looks good in them ) while I drove from work around the corner to Wegmans (grocery store). Got in the store and pulled out my phone only to see a shattered screen. I thought it was my tempered screen protector ( I put that on a few days after getting the phone once they were in stock) until I noticed I couldn't use the bottom 2/3 of the touchscreen. Digitizer was shot. Ugh. Looking back the only point I can think of where any pressure was applied to the screen would be when I got out of the car and my pants probably tightened when pivoting off the seat. Seriously. That's it. I must have done the same thing 2 dozen times as I almost always go to Wegmans after work and since it's so close I leave the phone in my pocket (loose pockets!!). Afterwards while driving home I always put the phone in it's holster on the dash. I got home and pulled the tempered glass off (incidentally the glass protector is fine..) and took a closer look. Remember "Bendgate" with the 6-plus? Yeah my phone is also ever so slightly bent as well. I baby the hell out of my phone, not a scratch or nick anywhere on the body. I'm so disappointed. I absolutely love this phone and yesterday I would rate alcatel/the phone a 4.5 out of 5 for a stellar product with few issues (obv. the pervasive DT2W issue). But after today I strongly believe they messed up their design by putting the glass on top of the frame and not embedded within the bezels like almost every other phone out there. I'm preparing my email to alcatel now in hopes I get something from them but I know they have no reason to believe my story as to how this happened. I don't believe my actions were a result of misuse by any means as I've owned plenty of smartphones without ever breaking one. I don't expect anything from Alcatel but I seriously hope their next iteration of this phone will be better protected. I'm creating this thread as a warning to all the other owners out there that you need to be very careful handling this phone, If a simple motion such as this can result in a broken screen then I'm sure that a drop will be just as bad even with a tempered glass protector. So everyone PLEASE be careful! Personally I am distrustful of the device's build quality now and will hang on to this until I can buy a replacement screen/digitizer and attempt to replace it myself ( a review on Amazon a few days ago mentioned that screen replacement costs $150, almost the price I paid for the thing) though I will wait to hear back from Alcatel. I'll try to upload a couple pics of the phone, but really all you'll see is an otherwise pristine phone with a broken screen and the leftover residue from my tempered protector (now removed). Ugh, this sucks
Short Version:
My screen broke while in my pocket from minimal to barely moderate pressure and is also now bent, ala #Bendgate. WTF
I can't believe this phone broke that easy, it was either a defective phone or its just fragile. I'm really thinking of returning this phone since it has so many things to it.

I hope it was just a dud for everyone else's sake, problem is I don't expect Alcatel to replace it under warranty and I'm not willing to spend 75% of what I paid for it on a new screen. THe other issues are minor to me personally, with DT2W being the biggest annoyance. I barely get any lag with animations on top speed and nova launcher and I'm satisfied with the camera for the price point. My previous phone, the HTC One m7 was great until it got the lollipop 5.02 update and then lagged like crazy so I truly believe performance issues will be resolved with an update/root. I'm really devastated this broke so easily as the screen size/front speakers were exactly what I wanted in a phone, not to mention the great battery life I get vs. old phone.
Dang I have a tpu case and tempered glass but I'm scared now lol thinking of returning and getting a OPO
Sent from my 6045I
I seriously considered the opo but for me band support was paramount. I wonder if a hard case would be better for this phone, I know they're harder on the body but would presumably give a bit more structure for the phone. OT, I finally have a use for the reversible feature as it allows me to type on the phone and open most apps flipping the thing upside down over and over :/
Hopefully its not a defect to all phones. I only have till Monday to figure out if I want to return it

Have you approached Alcatel to see if they will replace the device/display under warranty? Clearly you did not do anything out of the ordinary - drop it to knock it against something - so they *should* replace it, and if not, you should be able to take it up with your credit card company. I feel sorry for your situation. I got my phone for $200, have no problems except the lag ( and more recently more frequent d2w issues ) - and I am waiting for something like you to happen to me. At that time I will have to take it up with Alcatel , because I certainly want to keep the device, for its bright screen and loud speakers alone, for the $200 I paid.
Electronics are not flawless articles - but my suggestion would be give Alcatel support a chance. This will also tell all of us, how good their support really is. Abt 4 years back, I was one of the lucky ones that got in on the $99 HP Touchpad sweepstakes - and right after I got it, the display panel started malfunctioning. So I took it up with HP and they sent me a prepaid box - and had me ship the tablet back to them - and returned it to me after replacing the display. Since that day, that device has been a workhorse for me - Best $90 I ever spent on a piece of electronics. So my point is - sometimes - your immediate experience will be negative - but it is worth give it another chance. And these days, usually your CC company will come to your rescue in such matters.
Oh absolutely. I guess I wasn't very clear about that but I'm retelling my story with them. I certainly hope they do something about it, I just have my doubts.I'll have to read through the terms on my credit card, can't remember if I used Amex or Discover for it.. but I thought you just got an extended warranty through them, no?
Ok I sent out my lengthy email to Alcatel just now, so I'll update this thread when I hear back from them. Also I looked into my purchase and I did use Discover which includes 90-days device coverage including broken screens so I'm covered in case Alcatel doesn't come through. Thanks stl1859, I would not have remembered that if you didn't mention it.

I know it's hard to believe, I have a hard time believing it. Which is precisely why I posted about this. And yes it was minimal to moderate pressure. I did not drop the device, it was in my pocket and I didn't bump into anything. The only pressure exerted was from my pants as I shifted to the left to get out of the car. I've certainly been fortunate over the years to have never broken a screen; I've dropped my previous phones a handful of times, even rolled over one while it was in my pocket. If any of those things would have happened and resulted in a broken screen/bent phone I wouldn't be posting here.. I expect that outcome in those situations. Also no I don't expect Alcatel to believe me, which is why I was so worried about spending my money on a device only to have it fail in this manner. Thankfully due to the suggestion of another member I will be covered thanks to my CC company.
You are still going to try getting a replacement from Alcatel, right ? I am really interested in knowing how efficient they are in handling repair/exchanges.

Yes, I'm currently waiting on them. Since I submitted the support email going into the weekend I'm giving them through Monday to reply before I start calling them.
Well, As expected.. BTW the phone number listed is not valid. Had to initiate claims online at alcatel.finetw.com Customer care didn't care (haha) how the phone broke, though I wouldn't expect them to. I'll include a copy of my original email with the phone so that hopefully the tech at least takes a look at the strength of the phone.
Dear xxxxxx,
Thank you for getting in touch with us. We understand your concern and we will be happy to assist you. Unfortunately with physical damaged the warranty gets void, so you can contact the repair center and ask how much they will charge you to fix device, the phone number is 496-484-6610..
Best regards,
ALCATEL ONETOUCH
First, that is a pathetic response. With that kind of attitude, they are not going to gain many customers. Second, I don't think that is a valid statement at all. Defects can cause 'physical damage'. It is a piece of electronics after all . If they are not covering 'physical damage' - what are they covering - emotional damage !!!
They probably meant physical *abuse* - which in your case - there was none. So I do not think they have grounds to decline warranty. It appears that they are simply assuming there was 'physical abuse' . Let me ask you - did you explain the incident - to the level of detail that you did over here ? ( meaning how it was in your pant's pocket - and how there might have been some pressure when you tried to get out of your vehicle , etc etc. ) - Or did you simply tell them that you discovered the screen to be shattered one fine day when you took it out of your pocket ?
Are you still engaging with them, or are you going to go to your CC company now ? I am disappointed with their support. Clearly, the only way they can sell anything if they keep pricing their products dirt cheap. Even then, I would think twice before buying from them.
I'm just thinking that this is going to be my last Alcatel product if I even decide to keep it. This support is pretty bad.

I keep mine in jeans, including skinny jeans and don't have these issues. It doesn't have much give so I have to position it in the pocket with the least pressure points. I would expect screen separation before screen cracking since it is plastic. I have had issue when its hot the double tap to wake will turn on the lock screen and dial contacts if the pocket is big enough for it to move around. So far I am impressed with dragontrail being less prone to fingerprints, but I do everything to avoid scratches and cracks short of a screen protector so take that into consideration.
i dont think any brand will buy your story even if its true. any physical dmg will become a user end fault no matter which product you purchase since theres no way to prove its their manufacturing fault when its physical defect and the end user is using it.

This is really the crux of it. And why I said I did not expect them to do anything. The only way to uncover a design flaw IMO is if this starts happening a lot (like bendgate.. well maybe not a lot in that case but some people showing on video how easily it bent). Also yes I went into great detail about the when/where/how the device broke. I also included the details with the phone, imploring the tech to at least look at the device to determine if there's a structural weak point or something. Sorry I took so long to reply, I've been getting my backup device (LG Leon.. ok phone for price but slooooow) setup and haven't been to the site in a few days.

Yeah I'm going through the CC company now. Interestingly I had to pay $40 to send the device back listing the screen as broken, so maybe (knock on wood) it won't be as expensive after all
So my LG V10 slipped out of my lap and fell two feet to my carpeted floor and you can see the cracks. So much for their 26 drops on to concrete with no damage. I tried to let them know that this happened so they could look into the fact that this phone cracked so easily but they don't seem to care. I mean, if you tested a phone to drop 4 feet onto concrete 26 times with no damage and someone drops one 2 feet onto carpet and the screen cracks, you should be worried.
So, no help from LG. I couldn't even get to a supervisor and I tried off and on for 12 hours today. I was put on hold for 20 - 40 minutes with no supervisor ever getting to me. They have horrible customer service - not because they won't replace it but because I couldn't even get ahold of a supervisor within 12 hours.

Not saying you're full of crap, but 2 foot drop into carpet? you really think we believe this? Best bet is to claim insurance. Not sure why you would think this is LGs fault.

1. This WAS a 2 ft drop on to berber carpet with no padding under it. Believe what you want because I was shocked when it happened. When it fell, I looked at my wife and sarcastically said, "My phone fell....I'm sooooo worried," and then I picked it up and saw this. This is why I think there is something wrong with the phone.
2. LG did not drop my phone but they do have THIS on their website: 1. The LG V10 passed a military standard test for shock (MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6, Procedure IV – "Transit Drop"") that consists of 4-foot drops onto 2" of plywood over concrete. The test includes impacts on every face, edge and corner of the device. Further, the device passed an enhanced version of the Transit Drop test consisting of 26 drops from 4 feet onto a concrete surface. ----------SO, Why would a 2 ft drop onto carpet crack the screen? Makes no sense. If I ran LG, I would be concerned about build quality at this point.
Had to be defective...ive dropped phones on concrete, kicked trying to save it with no case and had less damage

By the way "Not saying you're full of crap" then saying "you really think we believe this?" is basically saying "I'm trying not to be rude but you are full of crap."
You weren't here and you don't know but why would I come on here and make this up? I'm just trying to make sure people know that you cannot trust the durability of this phone and that if you considered carrying this phone with no case, think again. My apologies for trying to warn people.

look, I really mean no offense, but why do you act like LG should be held responsible for you dropping your phone? also, in another thread you said phone dropped while on edge of sofa. now it's off your lap?
Dropping an egg onto carpet from 2 feet might not even crack it. BS

1. If you buy a phone that it touted as being able to "take it" when it comes to "drops" then it falls 2 feet to carpet, there is obviously a defect in the phone. But that's not even the point of this post. I just wanted to talk to someone at LG to let them know because if it was me, I would be concerned that this phone should be more durable.
2. The other post said the edge of the sofa because that's what I remembered but when I spoke with my wife this morning, she said, "No, it was on your lap." I wasn't really focused on the exact position of the phone last night but I knew it was in that general vicinity. Pardon my A.D.D.
So can we get back to the focus of this post? It's not to say "LG is to blame" and it's not to call me a liar because I know what happened. I just want people to think twice about cases and protection on the V10 because it's not as durable as they advertise. That's all.

If I ever have a phone that explodes I'll just make sure I don't share that either. Why try to help people? Yeah...that's stupid...warning people of a problem. Why did I think that was a good idea?

I'm sorry for your misfortune. but I think you got a defective device or it was a very fluke freak accident, because I'm pretty sure the rest of us could drop phone on carpet from two feet 10 times each and have no crack. I've dropped my v10 on train floor from 4 feet. I've dropped g3 from 5 feet onto concrete, both phones look the same.
I'm not defending LG, I'm sure it's entirely possible to crack v10 if any of us were to, say, drop it on a curb while we're running or something. but two feet on carpet? has to be a fluke.
Chop it up to **** luck. It's life. It happens
Thank you for posting this. I'm sure we're all hoping this is some kind of fluke.
It's definitely beyond disturbing to think that a drop like that could be so devastating especially for those of us who don't have a case yet!
I hope you can get something figured out for a replacement.
So terrible!

I think it's bad luck. My kid grabbed mine from the arm of the couch and then tossed it to me in the kitchen on a tile floor. I was afraid to flip the phone over but it's fine. Not a mark on it or my cheap screen protector. You could probably drop your phone like you did 100 times without reproducing that shatter.

I've been playing around the service menu and tested the Pressure Sensor. In a solid waterproof phone, pressure should remain steady when acted upon by outside forces.
I simply tried to moderately blow some air into the USB port and there's a notable difference. Also removed the sim cap and sucked on the port. Air was clearly passing through.
I'm curious if it's just my phone with this issue in which case I'll replace it, or if it's a design fault, in which case you shouldn't submerge it.
In the screenshots you'll see the pressure difference. So please test this by accessing the service menu *#*#service#*#*, > tests > pressure sensor and simply blow some air into it.
And for the giggles and ranting, there's the sony talk thread https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...s-waterproof/m-p/1237116/highlight/true#M2652

In Xperia Z3 there was a hole in the lower-left corner that if not covered by hand also let the pressure to drop down.
I think that every phone has to have some kind of a "blow off valve" to prevent internal pressure from rising when the phone heats up to avoid damaging the seals around the screen and the back.
Note that when you cover the usb port pressure stays perfectly stable. The phone is still waterproof it just lets the internals "breathe"

It's far more than a simple valve. For example if you have water in the port and you blow some air to take it out, that water will actually go inside the phone. I'm asking because if ever submerged, water pressure will be far grater than my air blowing capabilities ))) so things can get messy pretty fast.
It's far too easy to change the pressure inside it, so all I need to know is if other XZp are behaving the same way or if it's just mine.

As I said Z3 behaved similarly and I have submerged this phone a couple of times and never had any problems with it. Note that air particles are much more able to squeeze through tight spaces than water.
Same principle aplies to waterproof jackets, they let the air pass through so that you wont get sweaty while at the same time the won't let water go through.

Yes man, I know what a valve is and how it operates in a phone. I've been having xperias for over 5 years. I'm not on Talk.sonymobile, I'm on xda. So if you can try the test whenever you can. All it takes is 1 minute.
I opened this thread because I need to see if mine has those rubber seals too loose or if it's a general and normal thing. I asked for xzp owners to try the test because on my phone air passes virtually unobstructed.

There is a pressure regulation in every phone. The reason is the battery, in case the battery is defective (see Shamesung Note ), it will produce gas. This gas can later inflame, hence it is important to get it out of the device.

I know, I just spent a lot of money on this thing and I'd rather avoid damaging it. In my opinion that valve is way too lose.

I'm weary because I had Xperia XZ for a week, did the same test but the breathability on the usb port was minimum. Anyway, I'll be careful. My (very) old Xperia Z got water damaged in the pool due to a worn rubber band on the headphone jack. Damage was extensive.

If damaged by submerging, I'd send it on for guarantee and request a new one. It states IP68 proof, that means 30 minutens fully submerged.

I know.... It's an idiotic test. But leaving that aside, it is compared to another waterproof phone which worked as good as new afterwards. So it's safe too assume that the USB might be letting in a bit more than just data and power.
It's a bit of a letdown, I'll wait for the teardown videos to see if they finally coated the motherboard and other boards against water ingress. Just like you see in the iphone and samsung.

Yes, that is the idea behind IP68 certification. I dumped my phone in the pool yesterday, just for fun. Just PLEASE make sure to dry the phone before charging it. I know that sounds stupid but there is some photos around of ppl claiming their devices just started burning. Due to the nature of energy transport in USB-C 3.1, that is almost impossible - unless you short-circuit it with water .
So we found it in dishwasher and dried it off and everything work fine. When we tried to charge it after it was out of battery an triangle alert came on screen asking with a water splash sign that alerted is there was water in phone. She used a cutie gently and dried off charging portal, still nothing. Then she removed s pen it was wet. How can she she dry it. She can't live without phone. Chuckle. Note doesn't want to wait till tomorrow to take to store. Also we can from Apple and assumed these were water proof.
Thanks
Point a fan directly at the port. Let it sit for awhile.
Its a hot or miss with that cuz is a software bug. At least I remember I took a shower with a phone a few years ago samsung and no matter how long I waited or what I did it continued to give me that warning. Ended up having to put a claim in with Verizon. That was way back with the s8 plus so idk if they made it better. Nvm just remembered I didn't take a shower with it, I actually took it in the ocean with me lol

Resistant and resistance has a threshold that I would still take with a grain of salt.
They are water resistant not water proof unfortunately so water can get inside.

Putting electronics like mobile phones in rice is a myth .
It's been proven that it does not work and won't help since rice can't suck water out of device that has got water inside the device.
Warm dry area for a few days, ideally surrounded by Silca Gel you get inside different packages such as food or sensitive items that should remain damp free

If you have a dishwasher that stands under sink or w.e it's called in kitchen then if the phone was laying above and one of drawers in the dishwasher was pulled out probably top one. My guess could be she/he accidentally knocked down the phone so it landed into first drawer and when they pushed it in and closed the dishwasher they didn't notice the phone was in there. Just my guess but still quite odd how it really got there.

The fan idea in a warm dry room is the safest bet.
If it has a good charge, use the phone and warm it up.
Watch from any sign of malfunction other than the warning.
If anything behaves abnormally power it down asap and do not power up again. It may limit help the water damage.
It will need services if so... at the very least the back needs to come off so it can dry.
Forget rice; use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to flush out water contaminated electronics. Save my coffee dunked Buds case like that. Yes with a live battery. Still working a half year latter. I flushed it within a minute of the coffee plunge.
Alcohol can craze polycarbonate plastics; be careful. Dry it with low pressure air quickly if possible.
I've use a blower bulb (the kind you use to clean cam lens) and low pressure air to clear a rain drop from the C port.
I then let it sit for about an hour afterwards until the warning cleared.
DO NOT apply power if warning is still on since you know it was water exposed. If water is still present it can cause extensive damage if power is applied.
Do Not use high pressure air as you can force water past the seal and into the phone!
These phones are well sealed so you'll probably be ok especially if it was in a case.
Always keep these puppies in a good case, it will save you from a lot of grief

Well to be honest rice didn't do a thing to your iPhone trust me. If you left it for a day or two in rice you can just as well leave phone alone without rice for 1 or two days and you will see same effect.

Do you have a source for that claim? Here's a published, peer-reviewed controlled experiment that showed that for other wet electronic devices (specifically, hearing aids), rice was in fact a good desiccant, comparable to commercial desiccants:

It's a peer-reviewed scientific study. It happens to be archived on a National Library of Medicine website, but it was not "the government" that conducted or published the study.

A domain that ends on gov belongs to government so link you shared is a government owned business.
Secondly I think you are on wrong track, most professionals that are not repair shop have tried method and gotten result that rice does nothing that's how it was proven it isn't working. I given you two source and none of them are repair shop so seriously wake up.
