So you're claiming that water "never" evaporates--it must use rice?
Also, what is the mechanism responsible for your claim of "drawing out moisture?"
...And heat plays no role in evaporation? All news to me.

I have a strong feeling this rice thing is one of those memes so ingrained into people's minds that they will never let it go. If anything it might be just a tad more effective than air drying, but since air drying doesn't make people feel like they have some sort of scientific insight, people will continue perpetuating what might be a myth.

Hi,

The rice will actually draw out the moisture. Air will not. Air will only
dry if you have circulation.

"...You have to put it in a bag of rice?" So you're telling me that the only way moisture will dry is using your technique? Whatever happen to "air dry."

Maybe I should go out and start looking for large bags of rice for my
children in the event it warms up again and they want to go swimming.

If you want to be very careful simply let the device air dry for a few
days--without rice and all the pseudoscience.

that won't do it.
you have to put it in a bag of rice and even sometimes that won't save it.

I would pull the phone out of it's case and let it sit for the next couple

of days until all water evaporates. If you continue to mess with it there
might be some water-related battery damage.

How can I fix this? I had my phone on the edge of the sink, and it fell
inside while I was washing my hands. I didn't know about it until later,
when I couldn't find my bone and went into the bathroom to check the
sink. Anyhow, the speaker has been muffled, although the sound coming
through headphones is fine. There wasn't too much water on the phone or
in it's case, but a little goes a very long way.


Thanks,
Ari
