Q. i dropped my phone in my friend's hot tub.
i was in shock so it was in the water for a good 5 to 10 seconds.
it turned off in the water.
i took it out, took the battery out and immediately put it in rice.
i left it in there for about 24 hours.
since i took it out it hasn't been working right. it starts up but then it shuts off and keeps doing this for about 10 minutes. then it will turn on and stay on for about 5. then it says that the battery is overheating and that i should take it out. or it says that the battery isn't in there.
i have called to get a replacement phone. thank god i got a warranty on it haha.
but my question is, what can i do in the meantime?
and is the problem with the battery or the phone itself?
also. i was throwing around the idea of getting the Droid by straight talk. any thoughts on this phone or the carrier? (straight talk).
thanks to all suggestions or thoughts.
A. Well, I'm going to start off by clarifying a few things. Not all Android phones are "Droids;" the "Droid" moniker is licensed to Verizon for use with Motorola and certain HTC devices.
Also, there are three Android devices on Straight Talk: The LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Q, and the Samsung Galaxy Precedent. If you decide to go with straight talk, the best one to get would be the Optimus Black, which has Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), a 4" touchscreen, a 5MP camera, a 1GHz processor (rare to see on a prepaid device), and it comes with a 4GB microSD card and supports up to 32GB. It's also only $45 a month for unlimited everything on Straight Talk so this could be a very good deal for you. The phone itself is $329.99, but is the best of their phones and of course comes without a contract.
As for your current phone, the problem is most likely both the phone and the battery. Even with immediately putting them both in rice, water gets into very odd and small places that may not seem important but can cause serious problems. I would try and see if you can use a friend's old phone or one of your old phones while waiting for the replacement because continued use of the phone could result in electrocution or it will probably full on stop working.
