Appreciation post: the bowl of dry rice trick actually saved my phone after a 3 foot drop
I dropped my phone in the sink on a Tuesday night and figured the rice thing was pure internet nonsense, but I had nothing else at 11pm so I buried it in a bowl of basmati and left it by the radiator for 48 hours. It booted right up and the speaker worked fine, though now the charging port smells faintly like curry. Did I just get lucky, or has rice actually worked for other people here?
