Ifowuni yawela emanzini: yintoni onokuyenza kwaye ungayenzi¶

A phone that falls into a sink, a toilet, a pool, the sea or a puddle can look fine one moment and fail the next. The first few minutes decide how much damage the water does. Moving fast and doing the right things, and avoiding the popular myths, gives the device its best chance.

This guide covers what to do in the first minute, how to dry the phone safely, why rice and heat make things worse, how to handle salt water and other liquids, when to switch it on again, and when to take it to a repair shop. It also explains how to protect your photos, contacts and bank accounts if the phone does not recover. If the phone is also lost or broken, see broken or water damaged phone for repair routes, and lost or stolen phone while away from home if it was swept away.

Yenza oku ngoku¶

1. Get the phone out of the water straight away. Every second counts. Do not stand and look at it. If it is in deep water or a fast current, do not put yourself at risk to rescue it.
2. Switch it off if it is on. Hold the power button and follow the prompts. Do not wait for it to finish an update or a call.
3. Do not press buttons, shake it or try to charge it. Pressing buttons can push water further in, and charging a wet phone can short circuit the battery.
4. Remove the case, cover, SIM tray and any cards. Lay the parts on a clean towel. Taking out the SIM tray opens one more path for water to escape.
5. Dry the outside gently with a soft cloth. Wipe the screen, the ports and the edges. Hold the phone with the charging port facing down and give it a gentle tap against your palm to let water drain.
6. Leave it in a dry place with good airflow. A shelf in a room at normal temperature is ideal. Wait at least a day, and do not turn it on or plug it in during that time.

What water does to a phone¶

Water itself does not always ruin electronics. The damage comes from water carrying electricity between parts that should be separate, and from minerals, salt and dirt that stay behind after the water dries. A phone that is switched off and dried quickly often survives, while a phone that is switched on or charged while wet can fail within minutes.

• Short circuits. Water links two points on the circuit board that should not touch. This can damage chips, the battery connector or the charging system.
• Corrosion. Metal contacts can turn green or white and stop working. Corrosion can appear days or weeks after the incident, so a phone that seems fine may fail later.
• Salt and minerals. Sea water, pool water and tap water leave deposits when they dry. These conduct electricity and eat away at metal.
• Screen and sensor damage. Moisture can get under the screen glass, or into the camera lens, speaker and microphone. Spots and fog in the camera are common signs.
• Battery problems. A wet battery can heat up, swell or fail. This is rare, but it is the most serious risk.

Water resistance ratings: what they mean and what they do not¶

Many phones are advertised as water resistant. This is a useful extra layer, but it is not a promise that the phone will survive.

• IP ratings. An "IP67" or "IP68" rating comes from a standard that tests a new phone in clean, still fresh water under laboratory conditions. For example, IP67 means protection against dust and temporary immersion, often up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes. IP68 usually allows greater depth or time, which the maker states.
• Resistance fades. Seals and glue age with drops, heat, cracks and repairs. A phone that is two years old or has been repaired may not keep the original protection.
• Not for every liquid. Ratings apply to fresh water only. Salt water, chlorinated pool water, soap, juice, coffee and other drinks can damage seals and contacts.
• Pressure and motion matter. A dive, a jet of water or a fall into a fast river can exceed the test conditions.
• Warranties often exclude liquid damage. Many manufacturers state that liquid damage is not covered, even for water resistant models. Check your phone's terms and any extra insurance.

So treat a water resistant phone as a phone that may need the same steps, especially if the liquid was salt water or anything other than clean fresh water.

Step by step: the first hour¶

Minute one¶

Pick the phone up and hold it level or with the ports facing down. Turn it off. If the screen is dark, assume it may still be powered and do not plug it in. If you were on a call or filming, stop at once.

Minutes two to ten¶

Take off the case and any accessories. Remove the SIM tray with the pin or tool that came with the phone, and take out any memory card. Wipe the outside with a soft, lint free cloth or a clean paper towel. Pat gently, and do not rub.

Open any flaps or covers. Hold the phone with the charging port facing down and tap it gently against your hand a few times to shake out loose water. Do not swing it or shake it hard.

Minutes ten to sixty¶

Place the phone upright, ports down if it stays steady, in a dry, cool room on a clean towel. Leave the SIM tray open. Set a timer and do not touch the phone for a while. If the phone vibrates, lights up or makes a noise, leave it alone, and do not charge it.

If you are away from home, ask a hotel or shop for a clean towel, and find a safe, dry place to leave the phone. Use your time to protect your accounts and contact family, as described in the sections below.

What not to do¶

Many popular tips do more harm than good. Phone makers including Apple, Samsung and Google advise against several of them.

• Do not put the phone in rice. Rice does not draw out water well, and the dust and starch can get into ports and speakers. Apple specifically says not to put a wet device in a bag of rice.
• Musa ukusebenzisa isixhobo sokomisa iinwele, i-oveni, imicrowave okanye irediyetha. Ubushushu buyakwazi ukujija iinxalenye, incamathiso enyibilikayo, yonakalise ibhetri kwaye ityhale ukufuma nzulu. Ifowuni eshushu inokukutshisa.
• Musa ukusebenzisa umoya ocinezelweyo. Inganyanzelisa amanzi ukuba angene ngaphakathi kwaye yonakalise isithethi kunye nemakrofoni.
• Musa ukufaka iicotton buds, iitawuli zephepha okanye iithishu ezibukweni. Zishiya iifibers kwaye zityhala amanzi ngaphakathi. Ibrashi ethambileyo, eyomileyo ibhetele xa kufuneka ukhuphe inkunkuma engaphezulu.
• Musa ukuyihlawulisa okanye uplage kuyo nayiphi na intambo. Linda de ifowuni kunye namazibuko ome.
• Musa ukucofa iqhosha lamandla ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukubona ukuba liyasebenza na. Umzamo ngamnye unokubangela isekethe emfutshane.
• Ungawukhe umkhenkce. Iikristale zomkhenkce kunye nokujiya kongeza ukufuma.
• Musa ukuyivula ifowuni ngaphandle kokuba uqeqeshiwe. Uninzi lweefowuni zale mihla zivaliwe, kwaye ukuzivula kunokucima nayiphi na iwaranti kwaye yonakalise ibhetri.
• Musa ukuyishiya elangeni. Ilanga elithe ngqo lifudumeza ibhetri kunye neglasi.
• Sukuyihoya ifowuni eshushu okanye edumbile. Yigcine kude nezinto ezinokutsha, kwaye ungayihlawulisi.

Abavelisi bahlaziya iingcebiso zabo ngemodeli nganye, ke jonga iphepha lenkxaso kwifowuni yakho.

Imibuzo edla ngokubuzwa¶

Ndifake ifowuni emanzi erayisini?¶

Hayi. Abavelisi beefowuni kuquka i-Apple bacebisa ngokuchasene nayo, kuba irayisi ayisusi amanzi kakuhle kwaye inokushiya uthuli kunye nesitashi ngaphakathi kwamachweba. Cima ifowuni, yomise ngaphandle ngelaphu elithambileyo, khupha i-SIM tray kwaye uyishiye kwigumbi elomileyo elinomoya.

Kufuneka ndilinde ixesha elingakanani phambi kokuba nditshaje ifowuni emanzi?¶

Lindela ubuncinci usuku, kwaye ixesha elide ukuba ifowuni ibikumanzi anetyuwa okanye ubona ukufuma kwizibuko. Ukutshaja ngelixa kumanzi kunokubangela isiphaluka esifutshane kunye nomonakalo osisigxina. Ukuba ifowuni ibonisa ulwelo olubhaqiweyo isilumkiso, yikhuphe kwaye uyeke yome ngakumbi.

Ifowuni yam ayinamanzi, ngaba kufuneka ndenze nantoni na?¶

Ewe, ukuba bekukho nantoni na ngaphandle kwamanzi acocekileyo acocekileyo, okanye ixesha elide, okanye ukuba indala. Ukumelana namanzi kuvavanywa kwiifowuni ezintsha kumanzi amatsha, kwaye kuncipha ngokuhamba kwexesha. Yomisa ifowuni, linda phambi kokuba uyitshaje kwaye ujonge iimpawu zomonakalo.

Ngaba ndingazigcina iifoto zam ukuba ifowuni ayiyi kuvulwa?¶

Mhlawumbi. Jonga ukuba iifoto sele zikwiakhawunti yelifu okanye ikopi yekhompyuter. Ivenkile yokulungisa ingakwazi kwakhona ukubuyisela idatha, ngoko musa ukuqhubeka uzama ukuyivula okanye ukuyibuyisela kwakhona ifowuni.

Izikhokelo ezinxulumeneyo¶

• Ifowuni ephukile okanye eyonakeleyo ngamanzi
• Ifowuni elahlekileyo okanye ebiweyo ngelixa ungekho ekhaya
• Ifowuni okanye izitshixo ziwise umjelo wemvula, ishafti yeelevator okanye indlu yangasese ephathwayo
• Ulwelo lwezibuko lokutshaja luchongiwe, ukuthotywa kokudlula kunye nokutshaja ngaphandle kwamacingo
• Izikhukula
