3 if dropped in unclean or salty water, do the unthinkable - rinse the phone body under running cold water
4 shake or drip dry
5 place in a bowl and cover with rice grains, then leave it for a few days in a dry place

Yes bro. Nowadays the smartphone is so fragile and each second counts when trying to dry the phone. That's why when my S3 kena water, my friend suggested a faster way to dry it using some kind of dry-your-phone kit. I tried to scout around but couldn't find it in Malaysia.

The last time I went to Low Yat Plaza, I couldn't find similar kit that can dry your phone faster than household remedies like putting into the rice or silica gel, use hairdryer or the controversial alcohol solution.

The credit goes to TS.
Just hope to keep thread alive so more will know tips to save their wet handphone.

Previously I was looking for some kind of dry-your-phone-kit in stores and online in Malaysia after my friend from the States intro them to me. But I couldn't find it anywhere so I asked my pal to send a few samples all the way from the States just to try it.

And now, I have finally received them!



At the back of the packaging, there is a moisture indicator (white box) that tells you if your phone is dry already or not. Apparently this is a one-time use kit.



Inside the kit, there is a paper with instructions and one drying pack. The red arrow is showing the drying pack.


Gonna start testing once I get unused phone from my sis.
Anyone interested to try?
