I just dropped my droid in the toilet . It was completely under water. I quickly took it back out and it was like it never fell in. My wife called me as soon as I retieved it and proceeded with the conversation.
I think its water proof. I nearly crapped my self.
The Following User Says Thank You to johnrigu For This Useful Post:
Let it sit for two days to make sure it is dry before you turn it on. One drastic measure I heard works is to submerge it in 90% rubbing alchohol which will flush the water out and evaportate after a few days.

This would also sanitize it from falling in the toilet, though I don't know how good that is for the phone; I mean, yeah, we use it to clean heatsinks on computer CPUs, but it CLEANS HEATSINKS. Do you want something that can remove thermal grease floating all around in your Droid?
I agree with letting it sit in a bag of rice; perhaps if you want to sanitize it (I hope you want to sanitize it...), you could use one of those UV disinfecting wands.

I'm surprised, I dropped mine in a sink full of water, it didn't even sink all the way to the bottom before I grabbed it and yanked it out, but it was to late, my poor Droid had drowned. It would still power on, but the screen would stay dark. You could barely see it if you tilted in the light just right.
I'm so glad insurance covered water damage. I reported it to them, and 2 days later I had my Droid back.
Moral of the story, Droid does NOT do water very well.

Haven't dropped my droid in water but I did wash my last phone. Went completely through the wash cycle before I remembered where I left my phone. Left it sitting on top of the dryer for a week and it was good as new. Whew! Verizon might be understanding but family members would NOT let me live that one down if they knew.
LOL, did you go around reporting all the April Fool joke threads? Someone must have got you good
No, not really. I don't purposely go to spam threads--I only visit certain boards as well--but one that is blatant spam and purposefully waste other's time... He'll know better next time.

Wow if your not kidding around you should go sit in the corner by yourself until you grow a sense of humor!

haha, none the less the thread is actually useful.. should someone drop their phone in the toilet, they might come to these forums n search just that. Guess Wat they will find? This thread! With a few ideas to try. I don't consider that a waste of time. And I certainly don't consider it "spam". Just my .02. Reporting seems a bit harsh. How bout reporting all the people that start a 2.1 thread everyday. By definition I believe that has a better chance of being considered spam. N BTW, april fools day comes once a year. why not enjoy it with the community. lol
Yall are ridiculous But i go the best story about my brother he is a member on here to his screen name is xandman96
Well we went to a party and we had already put our swim trunks on and i was txtin and he was txtin he always puts his phone in his pocket and this turned out to be a bad thing this time we get out the car and the first thing we do is go swimin. so we swim around for about 30min and he finally notices that his Brand New MOTO ZINE yes the one with the Really good camera and dual flash that cost more then the droid had drowned and burned out the sim card with it lol

You don't believe me that this thread is just breeding more spam and such--which we already have more than enough of in the HTC Incredible board alone. Look at the the other posts which came about:

Not useful. Has nothing to add to the discussion. What does OJ and breakfast have to do with an electronic device being dropped in the toilet? So anyone who wants to argue that this is a potentially "useful" thread, wrong.

Even though this was a joke, there is still useful info in the thread man, lighten up a little :-)
And this, this is a shit joke--literally--so there is a relation to the topic title, but nothing pertaining to a resolution of any sort.
It doesn't matter if it's April Fool's day or not, there has to be less spam here because it has gotten out of hand. I'm all for jokes, but they should be played in the real world: Vaseline on the doorknob; unscrewing the sale/pepper shakers; shaking up soda/beer can/bottles and giving it to your friend; gang up on a fellow friend and beat the crap out of him; erase the password on your friends PC, changing the password, delete all his desktop icons, hide all of his folders, uninstall his antivirus programs, and plant a trojan virus and helping him resolve it one problem at a time; spill a cup of milk on your friends pants before he goes to work; stab him in the throat while he's not looking; delete all the songs off one of your friend's MP3 player; hide all of your friend's games; install the "Where's My Droid" app on your friends phone and text "Where's My Droid" to his phone while he's on a date, at work, at school, and such; tape your friend's eyes shut while he's sleeping; etc. etc.
I'm all for good fun, but we should try to keep this all the Android Forum boards less cluttered with garbage.

If you're so worried about spam you could have reported him and left without posting, or PMing the OP at the most. Your buzzkill rants are what's breeding more off topic posts.

+1!
Just about to say this. All these "spam" replies followed you complaining. Just sayin.. but its true.
You should have to take the stick outta your ass and repeat April 1st over and over again like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day until you get a sense of humor. Lighten the F up dude.
And to the OP - good way to turn your Droid into a piece of shit.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. I could just PM the OP, but the fact is everyone should be know that this type of spam is unneeded. So when I told the OP in the post, everyone should take note of it.

If you cannot help, but personally attack me I'll have to report you as well. That's not allowed here.
Anyway, seeing as it is 11PM (Pacific); April Fool's. I can't believe no one noticed:

ok did everyone else not get that qraftee was joking?? He was the real april fool's joke in this thread because the OP sucked! No one give a *shit* if someone else ruins their phone so it's dumb...
But anyways I have a story that tops them all.. my roomate actually dropped his in the toilet AS HE WAS FLUSHING IT hahahahahahaha I still laugh at him about that
My daughters Droid fell down the pan, completely submerged for ages cos she wouldn't put her hand in to get it out !!!
Good old Dad had to go in and rescue it. Here's the funny bit, had to drown it again under the tap to wash it clean. Took it to bits, put in the airing cupboard with the hot water tank in it to dry it out.
7 days later, put it back together, fired her up and away she went, perfecto !!!!!
She won't be leaning over the toilet to get a loo roll when her Droid is in her top pocket anymore, that's for sure ! :-)

I'm sorry, but whoever reported the OP needs to grow a pair and some sense of humor.
While complete unnecessary posts such as "the sun is hot"aren't needed or wanted, a little such as the OP posted is NEEDED to keep the forums active, and to attract new comers.
The Motorola Droid - the first ever Verizon Android Phone - exploded onto the mobile market with an incredibly successful ad campaign that brough Android to the masses. With a huge and vibrant touchscreen, solid metal body, full QWERTY keyboard, 5M... Read More
