My phone got some splash water. Unfortunately some water drops landed in the usb charging port. The phone gave me the error message that it detected moisture and i should dry it.

At some point the phone died because of low battery. I did not have charged it yet because of the concernings that the water and charging could damage the phone.

UPDATE: i used paper towels and let it dry overnight. I charged and there was no warnings.

    Forget rice it does not do a good job. You can do a search on it and see.

    Time is your best ally with this. Since it’s enclosed, it might take up to a month or more for it to dry out, but it’s the safest method. Our son when he was a baby peed on my wife’s switch. Shop said it was toasted. One year later, it fired up just fine. She just spilled water on her switch light about a month ago and we’re gonna do the same thing with it.
