Droid in water :(

Bury your droid in rice, works wonders sometimes. Except for LCD damage ofcourse. Do you have insurance?

Trust me, by the laws of hardness; it would be impossible for a grain of rice to scratch Gorilla Glass. You could kick a grain of rice's butt with a piece of GG, however.

I think he meant that the rice does wonders but can't fix LCD damage...not that rice causes LCD damage.

Anyway, screw the rice. This guy don't use no stinking rice: How to Deal with a Droid thats Gotten Wet–THE RIGHT WAY

hmm ... insurance is great, but from what I hear there's a clause that says water damage is not included. I don't know if that includes all the insurance providers for V, though ...

It depends on what level of insurance you have. If you have TEC (Total Equipment Coverage) that covers any and all things that could possibly happen to your phone (say you "accidently" shoot it in a skeet tournament)

You might be right about the less expensive insurance plans, though.

I doubt it. Becuase rice doesn't do ANYTHING for any problem other than water damage. Actually, the usefulness of rice is a hotly debated subject; IMHO it does nothing. You'd be better off throwing it in a container with a couple of those moisture repellent cartridges from vitamin bottles (silica gel I believe) - rice doesn't readily absorb moisture until it is heated and some of the starch is converted to sugar.

The rice does absorb moisture, but far too slowly to really be useful IMO. Fine for keeping a salt shaker from clogging but not much else. Could use it as a stopgap while you look for a real desiccant like calcium chloride salt or silica gel(the stuff they pack in beef jerky and shoeboxes). Airflow helps too. Still will take several days to trult dry it out though.

I don't think we're on the same wavelength. I still maintain that he wasn't talking about rice scratching gorilla glass.

I don't think he was either, just saying that rice will not fix the LCD if it was water damaged.

Thanks geoff, maybe I'm not insane.

haha, well that is what I thought when I read it. Never even crossed my mind that someone might think they were referring to the rice scratching the screen.
