This caused me to lose my Google Authenticator details for inputs and Coinlenders.  It was an iPhone 4, and I'm pretty sure it's a goner. Does anyone have some tips or tricks? (It's already in rice) |

(It's already in rice) Simply getting wet caused the data loss? I don't think so. Surely, you get some kind of award for this blooper. Try leaving the phone in a bowl of uncooked rice for a day or two - it might absorb the moisture. |

Well, it doesn't turn on at all. I'm sure I could recover the drive if I really wanted to.
But I managed to recover my accounts! The recovery process was pretty easy.

Lol what the hell am I reading? Urban legend states this is a good idea. I think it actually is, though. |

You should never try to turn on an electronic device that has water in it.  If it had of been me, I would have removed the battery immediately and attempted to disassemble, then sat it next to a fan for a few days without ever attempting to turn it on... I guess you could put it in a bowl of rice if you want... but I would assume something in the device fried as soon as the water hit it, and drying it out is pointless... but I would also assume, as you said, the data still exists in the phone, I'm just not familiar enough with an iphone to know where  but glad you were able to recover the accounts! I assume they were being sync'd to some cloud-based site that owns all of your information?  |

If rice trick doesn't works Place it on a uncooked pizza as a topping and put it in oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius temperature.
After 10 minutes
You will get world's first and fresh iphone pizza.

I think everyone can learn a valuable lesson from all of this: Always swim naked. (Unless you're swimming in rice, in which case hold the meal when I stop over, I'll just have a beer please)
