Chip away the stone
| Use iCloud, google, or some other service to sync your contacts and other critical info to the cloud so your up-to-date info doesn't only exist on your phone. |

| I washed my Iphone 3S, full cycle in our washing machine. I put it under a halogen lamp and also plugged it in to its charger. Took 24 hours but it finally woke up and it worked for years. When I up graded the Iphone store guy could not believe it. |

| You fell in the pool? Stylishly done. Most people kill their phones by dropping them in the crapper!

Do No Harm, Do Know Harm
| I will never have a phone or watch that is not water resistant. Currently still using a Samsung Galaxy S5. I don't go swimming with it, but if I did it would likely survive.

| I just went from a Galaxy S6 Active to an iPhone 6s. The Active was water resistant down to 6 feet and I tested it several times. I do wonder about this iPhone but I hope I don't test it anytime soon.
Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. |

2 days in the blazing hot sun minimum. Pretty much 1 chance so wait and let it dry.

A lot of phones are prett water resistant even though they aren't labeled as such. For instance the IPhone 6S lasts over an hour submerged in a bowel of water. Apple never called it water resistant but it clearly is. Maybe the Samsung 6 will surprise you. If you don't want to do a full back up on the cloud at least sync your contacts with something like the Gmail app.
