During the storm this past weekend somebody (me) spilled a drink on my phone when the power went out. I immediately took the battery out and tried to dry out the phone as much as I could. The next day I powered up the phone only to find out that I could not make phone calls using the earpiece. Speaker phone and Bluetooth works fine. I also discovered that media will not play through the speaker although plugging headphones in works fine...the ringer and notifications work fine. Other than that, the phone works great. I tried flashing another ROM to see if just maybe it was a software thing...it wasn't.
The real issue is that I don't have insurance or store warranty coverage and my bootloader is unlocked. There is also signs of moisture on the phone. For now I can live with it, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew of any other options I could try. Or...maybe there is a way to redirect the sound??? Please help!!!

If the phone works in general... then most likely a specific piece is ruined related to the phone speaker/mic.
You can try tearing apart the phone ( I believe there are tear down guides online) and then using rubbing alcohol try to clean out any corrosion, especially around components that are having issues.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to try to replace the component. unfortunately not sure how easy that is. Tons of components sold for iphones but doubt as much for atrix.

Yeah, I was thinking of that as an option...being optimistic, I was gonna try to use the phone for a few days and see if it miraculously clears up...wishful thinking
I bet your Atrix will revive once the hangover subsides!
No really, it will be ok I'm sure, I've seen cases where people inmerse their devices into pools and toilets only to discover a few days later that they keep on ticking.
The clue here is to be patient and keep it from using it for several days, and I'm talking 3, 5 or even a week! So be very patient.
Remove the battery and let it dry inside a bag, box or bottle filled with uncooked rice or if you have plenty of dry bags (those that come inside some medicines or electronics) use them!
Try not to disassemble the Atrix to avoid dust contamination, but if you wan't you can go ahead and do it. The Atrix is very easy to disassemble. Just use common sense, and if you use alcohol to get rid of moisture and corrosion, be wary that even cotton or cotton swabs can be dangerous since there are components that are cold-soldered onto the motherboard and can be peeled-off very easily.
Don't use a hair dryer, since you could damage the plastic if not used correctly.
Let us know how it goes!

I sat it in rice over night, and used a blow dryer on cool but still not dice so far. Unfortunately I don't have any other form of comms other than my Atrix...I may go and buy a cheap Go Phone to use and let the Atrix take a nap. I will be patient...I'm thinking that it will wake up one day and everything will be OK
Atrix = featherweight!!!
So if the only part that's not working at the moment is the ear speaker, then maybe you can get a spare from cnn.cn and replace it yourself. Very easy to do by the way.
The bad thing is that I think they don't sell the speaker alone, but the whole modular assembly that contains the speaker, power button and biometric scanner. But check the site above to verify.

Was it a mixed or sugary drink? It could've pooled up in your speaker into something sticky. You might want to try cleaning it with alcohol disassembled. Or even dabbing it with alcohol while assembled but leave battery out and let dry at least a day. Each time you dab it with alcohol, try sopping it back up with a dry q tip.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Unfortunately it isn't just the speaker, media will not play through the loudspeaker either...kinda weird because the speaker phone works just fine. Also, game sounds don't play. I'm thinking it might be an amplifier or something.
It was a mixed drink so it did have some sugar in it.
I dropped my atrix in the toilet. It was only in there for 2 seconds max, but I dried it off and tried to see if everything still worked. None of the speakers worked, but I put it in a bowl of rice for a couple of hours in the Texas heat, afterwards everything was working fine.
I have taken my Atrix for about a 10 minute swim, after jumping in the pool with it on my hip in an otterbox defender case. I felt something on my hip and noticed my phone there! I immediately jumped out of the pool, removed the case and battery. Dried what I could with a towel. Then put the phone in rice for about 3 hours. I then took the phone out of the rice and gave it another bath in alcohol, swishing the phone around to make sure the alcohol got every where the water got... I then let the phone sit for 4 days next to a floor vent in my house. Not directly on the vent. After the four days I tried powering the phone on. The phone powered on with no problems(no sim or memory card.) I then put my sim and memory card in, plugged in the phone and tried powering the phone on again, an it would not power on.
I then took the phone apart(not completely did not dis-connect any ribbon cables etc..) and used a q-tip and rubbing alochol to wipe any contacts that I thought might have signs of oxidation or water damage. Put the phone back together and let it sit again next to a vent for another 3 days. Put my sim, memory card and batter back in and the phone powered up with no problem.
I am currently using the atrix, the only thing that does not work is the front facing camera. It just doesn't seem to want to power up... but that is something I can live with. I did even after the 7 days had some moisture between the LCD and digitizer, so I let the phone sit in my hot car for an hour or two of an on to help get rid of the moisture.
Hope this helps.. I would recommend if you see any moisture to turn the phone off and let it sit, as if you can see moisture, there is also probably some that you cannot see and could cause more damage.
Great stories!!!
But I have to wonder how safe are we from e-coli and other bacteria/viruses when buying second hand smartphones that have visited the crapper!!!!

what's really funny are people that put their phone up for public sale, are honest enough to mention that it was dropped in the toilet and still want market value and not the best offer. what kind of crap is that? it's my valuable crap?
Thanks for all of the help...you guys are the greatest...I will buy a backup before I tear the phone open...but I think cracking it open is in order...I think the moisture is gone but the sugar may have coated something.

Just an update...I opened the phone and cleaned all of the contacts with alcohol...that solved the problem...thanks again for the help
Here is my short story:
I lost my phone in the garden, after 3 days of searching and as the snow melted, i saw it lying on the ground, unfortunately turned off. Dont think this happend because of low battery rather than because of the water.
After i found it, i immediately dissassembled it without turning on and now its drying..i will wait for some days, until i can get some isopropanol(97% alcohol or so).
The water-indicator is lilac, not shure, but this means damaged by water, right?
So now here are my questions..is there even a chance that the isopropanol might help?..because the phone was turned on as i lost it, and i think it stopped working due to the water, not because of low battery..so is it already to late? Does this method only help if the phone is still working?
And which parts should be bathed in isopropanol ? E.g. is it bad for the camera, the microphones, the screen and the speakers, as i have read somewhere?
And if for example the screen would be damaged, would it be bad for the logicboard, too, if i reassemble it again and test it then?
And is there any possibility i can find out which part is defect, if it won´t work at all?
Are there any other options left for me?
hope this doesnt happen to anyone else
greets, electro
I would guess your screwed mate. My girls phone was dropped in water for less than 2 seconds and it killed. You are stuffed as soon as it turns off because something has shorted

Weird... I've gotten lots of rain onto my phone, and no damage at all... But of course that's not the same as dropping it in the snow...
Sadly there is no 100% solution for water damage. My dad once in a while will give a bath to his phones and the best solution I have found is to put the phone in a plastic bag full of rice and leave it there for as long as you can.
Of 3 phones 2 of them were saved using this method (one of them was saved multiple times).
Good luck.

Where these phones still turned on as they got wet and you took them out of the water? Or had they turned off theirselves already?
Which parts of the phone should be bathed?

It's worked for my old N73, but don't know will it work for GS2. but you can still try it
Just the board. If you drop the phone in it, it will damage other components. Then get a tooth brush and gently clean the board while alcohol is on it. Then check the battery for corrosion on the contacts to see if its fried. If so get a new one soon

keep it away from mics. clean gently as above mentioned with a medium toothbrush. clean all the board but also clean the connectors such as the connector of lcd both on logic board and lcd itself. clean also all gold contacts such as antenna contacts, buzzer contacts ands earpiece contacts.
isopropanol should be sold on every pharmacy. and if you can find glass fiber sticks to clean gold plated contacts as i mentioned above only if they are corroded.
I have dissassembled my device to the logicboard+camera, there are no mics on it anymore, only problem might be the camera connected to it.
The rest of the phone(display,which is glued to the fronthousing i think, usb-connector, and speakers)is still in the front housing.
I´m on step 6 in ifixit.com teardown, only with camera still connected, if you want to see pics.(sry cant post links)
Everything is covered in rice for 24h now
Would it be okay for the camera to be bathed in alcohol? Because the camera is still connected to the logicboard, and i am not shure whether i should dare disconnecting it..its a very thin connector..??
Did anybody revive his device, which was already turned off because of the water damage? Is this even possible in theory, if the device already shut down itself?
I dont get my hopes up to high
But thanks all for your help mates

Usually the water will only freeze the phone and will remain on until you take the battery out or the battery power is depleted.
Just take it apart and put it in the bag of rice and forget abut it for a couple of days (*you should have already done this by now*).
As for the alcohol cleaning I'v never done that. The idea of the alcohol is to prevent rust but the rice will remove all humidity out of the phone.
Ok so after 4 days of drying, it now shows a triangle and a battery symbole.
Better than nothing i suppose, at least the screen seems to be working
Does anybody know what that symbole means? Is just the battery faulty(my hope)?
Battery or USB plug problem.
Try other battery, if that doesn't help, get new usb board thingy from ebay

Great news! I had the chance to try a battery from a friend, and it worked!!
Already ordered a new one, although I am not sure, maybe the voltage from the old one is just too low and recharging would solve the problem, but dont want to risk anything

Good morning everyone. This morning was not a good morning for me, as I was feeding and watering my dog my phone slipped out of my jacket pocket and dropped into the dogs water bowl. It was in the water for less than a second, initially everything seemed fine there was barely any water behind the battery cover so I dried all that out and shook the phone to make sure there was no water in it's ports. Then shortly after that its USB port started going wonky(started acting like I was connecting USB cable and disconnecting it over and over), and my touch buttons at bottom of screen seem to stop working which makes doing anything damn near impossible. The USB plug seems to work as I've got it plugged up and its charging fine, but now my PC says USB unrecognized device. What I want to know is will these things work themselves out, is there something I can do to help them, or am I screwed?
Thanks for helping.

It is more then likely ruined. When ever a phone gets wet you should immediately remove the battery and put the phone In A large bag of rice for 3 days. No less then 72 hours and you have a very good shot at being OK. For phones that have been completely submerged and are water logged I would do 3 days of rice and then a quick dip In rubbing alcohol and then another day of rice. The alcohol prevents corrosion on the electrical solder connections. I hope you have insurance. You can try the rice now but since you supplied voltage to a wet circuit the damage is done. O and when I say a quick dip in alcohol I mean remove the screen and only dip the circuit board.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I got lucky. My USB port has stopped acting up and I was actually able to see contents of my phone thru the pc. Also my buttons are working fine again maybe there was a slight bit of water crossing circuits and it finally dried up.
The best way to dry it up, if it ever happens again is to use uncooked rice. Put the phone (with the cover open and the everything pull out) in the container with the rice covering it. Depending on how wet it got, it might take a few days ( 2 - 4) for it to completely dried up.

Arent you also supposed to put it in the sun, so it heats up and evaporates the water from inside the phone and then the rice absorbs it... or is that old news and overkill?

The sun only dry the outside part of the device. There will be moisure inside device (sometime) that will stay for a while. In order to get rid of the moisure from the inside of the device (if it is excessive water got in) is to use the rice.
In this case it might be excessive and overkill (since the device still works). But then I have mentioned that if next time. Sorry that I didn't indicated that if the device won't come on after sun drying, then use this method...

I think you misunderstood him... he's not saying put the phone in the sun, he's saying put the bowl of rice with the phone in it in the sun. That supplies heat which facilitates the process of water evaporating. I wouldn't leave it in direct sunlight though, just in a warm place near a window maybe.
mine dropped in toilet
2 days in rice with small bag of desiccant inside of phone(take battery out)
desiccant will dry out faster
I'd use some Lysol after that one

I just had my phone "waterproofed" by a company last week, just in case. A friend of mine demonstrated the effectiveness on his iphone 4 and I instantly wanted to have it too as I use my phone as a GPS unit on my motorcycle.

Actually rice is a natural absorbent, it can in fact, save your phone as it has with my iPod Touch 32gb, though not a razr, it has all similar mobile device components inside, and I didn't even take it apart, left it in a Tupperware full of rice for a few days, after I used a good hair-dryer to evaporate the large stuff. We're still talking about a non-serviceable internal battery (just like our Droid RAZR).
Even though it didn't properly start-up within a day after leaving it in the rice for a few days, the darn thing started right up as if right out of the box about a week later.
So lesson learned, technology is amazing, unpredictable, and very servicable, no matter what.
Though, the idea of taking it apart is a good one because by having water damage your warranty is voided atm.
Go for it!!! :good:

Taking it apart will not stop the warranty from being voided. There is a water sensor that was activated the moment it got wet and cannot be returned to its original state.
Rice only gets rid of humidity, corrosion will start anyway. It WILL destroy the phone sooner or later.

There is a 'sonic' bath or somethiing like that that you can perform that is supopsed to get rid of corosion, but you would have to find someone with equipment to do that. Assuming of course that connecting it to the charger did not fry it.
Sorry to hear about your badluck.
Disconnect from btty.
Chlorine should dissipate but you could have problems if you tried charging prior to the phone being fully dry, or if the btty was left in for too long. Alcohol is usually used to clean electronics but I forgot what type doesn't leave a residue.
The rice bath for a couple of days should dry the phone (alcohol also helps to dry the phone), but I would be concerned about btty damage. The content of the btty could have leaked.
If you have insurance turn it in!
i remember using rubbing alcohol, aka methanol should work. try taking a look at XDA tv. there was one instance the guy was *****ing about the Razr not having a removable battery and he opened his galaxy nexus and dipped it in methanol

if you do take it apart pick up some Denatured Alcohol from a Home Depot type store and use that to clean the inside. It will help prevent corrosion and it is perfectly safe to use on any part of the phone.
My friend had the same thing happen, he took off the back took out only the battery, then grabbed alcohol 99% and distilled water, made a 50/50 solution and put it in a ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for like 30 min, then in a bag of silica gell (those tiny paper bags that say to not eat) Left it there for 2 days, works just fine.

Hi,
I submerged my xperia z2 last night in the swimming pool (with chlorine) . It's been 12 hours since I submerged my phone. Every thing is running perfectly except for my headphone jack. The first time I used my earphone there's small amount of water coming out from the hole. The headphones is not working because it's not fully dried from water? I tried cleaning it up and blowing some air for some particles to get dry but it still not working.
I need help please because my phone is not insured because I bought it online
What should I do?!
Wash it with clean water for one min. And then try to get out as much water you can, and let it dry for few hours. It will work.

I am just sharing my case.
I had the same like you, my headphones getting disconected or not recognized at all (due to chlorine i guess), so i wash just jack openin with strong water, kick out the water on towel, and let it dry for about hour.
After that everything works normal, and i wash my phone regulary.
But be advise, i am not responsible for your phone, i am sharing my experience, and its up to you will you give it a try or not.
