Phone fell in toilet :/
This morning my phone fell in the toilet...it happened before too and I had to get a whole new one. Luckily, this time my phone still works. However, the screens to my Env3 looks like they still have water in them. The front screen even has the color fadding in at the bottum. I was just wondering if the water will either dry up and go away or this is permanent damage?

Whenever a phone, computer, ipod gets water damage, take out the battery immediately and obviously wipe everything dry as best you can.
Fill a large bowl or jar with rice and submerge the cellphone and the battery into it all the way...rice absorbs so it will literally suck much liquid from the tiny crevices in the device.
In the past, I've cured several water-logged phones by placing the phone and the detached battery on top of a television, and turning on the TV. It sounds strange, I know, but something to do with the TV waves seems to cure it. I'm not a huge TV watcher, so I usually kept the volume on mute but the TV "on" and it still worked well, this took several hours to a whole day.
Better yet, place the jar of rice on top of the TV to double up methods!
**DON'T charge your water damaged cell or computer until you are certain its dried inside and out (takes about a day.) Charging your device means electricity is running throughout it...we all know about the dangers of mixing liquid and electricity, plus it will short-out your cell phone. Heat (through hairdryers) also isn't good for it!
Hope that helps!

Try taking a hairdryer to it on the low setting you will also have to take the batery out and blowdry everything dry that should do the trick it did for me once before

The same thing happened to my mom and her blackberry, she stuck it in a bag of rice and it cleared away after a few days!
