There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about this.  Well, I got a new smart phone, Samsung Galaxy, about a week ago.  Thursday morning I did what is known as a "brick".  I rode my road bike for 20 miles then scrambled to quickly set out on a 6 mile run.  I had stopped to send a quick text while on the ride.  The phone was in a zip lock bag.  I must not have sealed it adequately.  When I finished the ride, I had to lock the bike up, change shoes, etc. and do it quickly.  I put the phone in a waist pouch.  I am known as a "puddler" because I sweat so heavily.

When I got home, I pulled out the phone.  Ooooops.  There was sweat inside.  I thought I might have ruined the phone.  The screen was blank.  I removed the back and the battery.  I knew not to try to turn it on until it had totally dried.  Put it in a bowl of rice for over 24 hours. 

Wallah!  It is working fine now.  Whew!  Just knew I was going to have to make an insurance claim.  Instead, the rice did the trick.
