YOUR PHONE IS NOT WATERPROOF

Hi everyone I'm about to go crazy at work with the 8th water damaged phone at my desk this week and it's only Wednesday

"But they said it was waterproof-" No, companies say it's "water resistant***" to trick you into equating the two things it is NOT WATERPROOF

(*resistant up to a certain depth, **in specific water conditions, ***only for a certain amount of years after manufacturing)

Also rice doesn't do anything stop wasting your rice

"But I put my smartphone in rice and it fixed it-" The rice literally does nothing at all, the only way it would EVER appear to "work" is because you left the device alone and off power for a few days.

So then what are you supposed to do?

Full disclosure: the best thing you can do is take it into a phone repair shop that can properly open the device and dry it out. It really has to be open in some way for the water to get out. Regardless, you should do these things first:

(Note: if it's salt water you may be screwed already, try to take it in asap)

Turn off and keep off of power

Remove the SIM tray (if yours is removable)

Heat up the device to a moderately high degree using a hairdryer, or leave it in the sun. The water can't escape as a liquid, needs to be a vapor. But even then, without opening it is very difficult for the water to get out.

LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A WHILE- DO NOT PLUG IT IN. The most damaging thing the water is going to do in the first few hours is short out the chips on the board or the screen. Leave it alone overnight if you can.

As you leave it alone, try to lean the device on its side to avoid water corroding the board. To know what side to lean it on you'll have to look up a guide to find which side the board is on. (If in doubt, lean it so it's standing up. This may lead the water to the port or daughter board but it's better than the main board)

Try heating it up again the next day, if the lenses fog up from the inside that means there is still standing water. TAKE IT INTO A SHOP BEFORE THE WATER CORRODES THE BOARD. If not, there's a good chance there's no more water in the device and you can try to use it again.

I can go more painfully in depth about all the nuance of water damage on mobile devices but I will leave it there for now.

#i didnt want this post to be so long but the main point here is just. stop taking your phone into bodies of water. please.#also i color code this for dyslexia reasons sorry if its ugly #not id #psa #smartphone #water damage #phone repair #public service announcement

#phone id #oneplus #i hope im right lol #this one was pretty difficult cause a lot of phones have two big rear cameras like that #but the key is the location of the flash and light sensor #and its size #ive cross referenced bewteen A LOT of different brands

Apple iPhone 14 (2022)

#apple #phone id #can tell by the color #technically can be a 14+ but im making an educated guess based on the proportions #also the use of your instead of you're... the implication that teachers want essays for funsies and not to assess your ability to write it..#these kids are so cooked 😭

I don't know if this allowed but can you identify my two phones?

Typically I don't do personal challenges cause I feel like they're 'gotcha' bait and because they don't really go with the whole bit I'm going for lol

BUT I will answer this one cause it's easy. First pic is most likely an S24 Ultra (or S23U, or maybe S22U, they all look almost identical), and the second one is definitely an S9 Plus because it's written on the back of the case lol 🤭

#but to be clear i will ignore majority of personal challenges sent lol #and if you do send a pic please crop it..... i hate these long ass photos clogging up my tl 😭#ask #phone id #samsung #reply

My, my, such bold claims and yet no evidence to back it up. You have an eye for detail to catch the unique color differences, however there is one particular detail you have missed entirely!

I'd like to direct the courts attention to this piece of evidence:

At first glance this may appear as proof to the defense's claims that the iPhone 13 family should've been included. The truth, however, is not in the obvious, but in what was missed! Lets take a closer look compared with the original:

Do you see it now? The flashlight module of the 13 family has a split diode diffusion pattern while the iPhone 14s and higher have a circular pattern! Which means-
