Edit: I did keep my dryer about 20cm away from the phone at all times. That's what I meant by gentle. I do have some previous bad experience with drying a mobile phone under 750W bulb (yes, I said 750. For keeping chickens or piglets warm)

That was wrong advice though. The thing with the hairdryer is that it only dries the outer parts, and with the high heat might even damage stuff.

This is, in part, my job btw. Have strong fact based opinions

Don't put it inside a bag of rice or anything like that. It'll just make it worse as the humidity can't find its way out.

I'm mostly considering sending it to a local wizard who once saved photos from a camera I accidentally formatted. Maybe he'd be able to do the same here

Its wonderful to get a cold saltwater bath in the bay when your body is overheated from running ️

Once I was dry and dressed I managed to drop my phone from the jetty.

Learned that a fairphone can deal with being submerged in 7mins, then rinsed and restarted

I'm an idiot! But fellow cold water bathers are super helpful luckily
