Stand the phone on end against a wall or other surface so that moisture can drain from the ports at the bottom of the phone.


Do NOT put the phone in rice. Do NOT blow compressed air on the phone.


I would go for 48 hours drying time, but few users have the patience for this. Consider 24 hours as an absolute minimum, but longer would be better.


Power up the phone. You will know in 10-15 minutes if water has damaged the phone.
