Dropped phone in sink...

[sarcazmo]

Compeltely submerged! I got it out quickly pulled the battery and put it in a bowl full of rice overnight.

This mornign it powered on just fine and everything seemed to be normal. However, the bottom left corner of my touch screen is unresponsive in addition to the top left.

For reference, when using swift key, my 'a' button, number button, and caps button do not register key presses.

I know this is most likely a warranty claim, just wondering if anyone has experienced this and has any tips?

No tips I can think of but I don't see a warranty claim, you dropped it in water, not a manufacturer defect. Insurance claim yes

Yea, definitely not a warranty-claimable issue. There are litmus papers in these devices that will turn a color as soon as moisture is present. Your carrier will see that and immediately deny a warranty claim. You only option is insurance. Pay a deductible, get another device.

By the way, sorry to hear about the swim! :-\

Whoops I meant insurance through asurion.

Warranty or insurance claim. I was in a boat crash in January and mine took a swim with me, everything worked fine but the speaker was toast. Its always something when a phone gets wet.
