If you have gotten your smartphone really wet, odds are it is not functioning properly. The initial steps for an eventual water damage repair are vital and consist of taking out the SIM card and battery immediately and letting them dry out. Most important, when the phone is wet, you don't want to turn it on or leave it on at all. If it is off, the only threat is rust. Rust can be repaired.
