What to do when you're on vacation and your phone gets soaked
Let's say I'm in Florida and my brother drops his pixel into a sink. Obviously, I don't have a toolkit with me or cleaning items. With a phone like a pixel that's so hard to open, (I can't open it with round the house items) what should I do? Does rice do anything at all?
Is this a good question?

Nope, just wait and hopefully the corrosion isn't that bad. How long was it in the water?

Gigabit878 The question was hypothetical.

It was what just happened to me. I was using a water bag during my vocation, in the last day in the last sliding into the water, it pop and was filled up with water.
After leaving the phone for almost a week in a contained full of rice. I left it sitting in my new room. The air here where I moved in is really dry. After almost 20 days after the incident I finally tried to charge it.
I did charged and turned on, but all communications were malfunctioning. It was not recognizing my SIM card, and it was not connecting to a wireless network, though it was listing the network here. But the signal was weaker then it suppose to be.
