Yesterday we went to picnic at nigit and i dropped my phone into the sea... Within the secound i took it and swicthed it off and let it get dry...today morning when i swicthed on the phone does not make any sound what i mean is when some one calls me the phone won't ring ...and when i talk they(the person i call)can hear me but i can't hear ...any idea how to make it talk.......

Put the phone in a bowl of rice, I have been told that it will help draw out excess moisture from the phone. Other than that I think it is time for a new phone.

hmmm, well my advice is to let the battery soak in some rice (i think thats a method for getting the water out of phones) if not try and let the battery sit out for awhile and get a house phone and call ur cell phone on the house phone and try messing with it

I'd say just give it a little longer, might still be some water inside it or something.

I heard putting it in a bowl of rice helps. Dry and uncooked rice, obviously. (Oh damn, beat to it by like 3 people).

If it's still not working in a day or two, I guess you'll have to take it to your provider's store and see if they can help. Though I don't think warranties or anything cover water damage.

It's all about concentration gradients. Putting the phone in dry rice, which would have almost no water in it, would start to draw water from a place with a greater water concentration (the phone) until an equilibrium is reached. However as you dropped it in the ocean the salt would probably do a lot of irreversible damage done to it. So get a new one.

If you dropped it in salt water, there's nothing you can do, salt destroys electronics. If you still have the warranty take it back, get it replaced. If not throw it away..

It sounds like the speaker is shot. The last thing you can try is to put the phone in an air tight container or a zip lock bag with a desiccant. Leave it in there for 24 hours. Then try it out.
