I purchased my galaxy 5 s because I was told it was waterproof 3 meters for 30 minutes. I see now they are not saying that anymore.

Let sit for 24 hours remove the phone wipe clean and dry and reinsert items.

I put an iPod nano in a bowl of rice after it had been washed in the washing machine and left it for 2 days just sitting on the counter; just getting sunlight through the blinds as it passed by and it now works and has for the past 2 years.
