baneko Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) The wife while cleaning the toilet dropped her phone down it. Its a 6 edge so pretty new. Shes raging with herself. Obviously with the Thai character it comes to me. I am a chilled person so say nothing. Take out the sim and put it in rice....wait a day and try it. Still goosed. Its like the world has ended. Buy another phone and dont use it in toilet. Not happy. What about my line? I never dropped it down the toilet. Raging again even though I said just get a new phone if its knackered. Sometimes Thai women are a pain in the arse. If something goes wrong they loose the plot. Phone gone end of the world. Maybe because I told her to downgrade for the new one. We all have to learn....have you lads had the same hassle? Phones! Edited April 23, 2016 by baneko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostnigel Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Been there, done that... One down the toilet, and one another time in my pocket and put it in the washing machine, first time tried the stupid rice trick, that didn't help...second time it was insured, so i got a new one. Now i always make sure its 'backed up', instead of trying to remember all your log-ins for every app on your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostnigel Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 By the way, my mrs has my old phones, and gives hers to her mum or dad, actually i have the Galaxy Edge Plus now, so its in effect my wife's phone 555, she's just hovering over me, waiting for me to get another upgrade....i am doomed.

daveAustin Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nope, she'd be pissed but is pretty laid-back and wouldn't go off on one like that, and also knows that if she did have an attitude such as this she'd be out the door... not joking. Suggest putting her in her place or a new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benalibina Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 As women can be good actors too, here is my guess of why she dropped her phone in toilet. There were photos on the phone of her and her gik and the delete option was not working properly. She panicked and chose the easiest believable option for you not to find out that she has a gik. The aftermath...well she is a good actress....dont worry it will be over soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuskegeeBen Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) It seems that most of posters to TVF are rather long-in-the-tooth, to still be learning lessons, eh? We have four daughters, of whom all were a handful to deal with as teenagers. Thank heaven they did manage to eventually grow-up, with a developed "sense" of accountability, to become responsible adults. Again, there's a valid reason why the Russian/East European farangs bring their own women to the LOS, and steadfastly refuse to become "involved" with Thai womenfolk. The OP statement further confirms the Russian rationale. Good morning! Edited April 23, 2016 by TuskegeeBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Freckle Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I accidentally put my old iPhone 4 through a 20 min wash cycle..., covered it in basmati rice for 4 days then put it through a reboot...., it halfway came back in that the screen was still a bit wonky..., so I put it on the dashboard of my car in dappled sunlight(not too hot)..., anyway I kept rebooting it.., on/off.., on/off..., it came back a little more each time..., till it eventually came back all the way.Apple store guy didn't wan't to know about it once he had scoped out down the headphone hole and saw that it was 'red'..., red means it's been wet..., apparently green is cool. Your choice..., good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikmar Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 My wife lost he I_phone and asked so sweetly for a new one. I bought a 500 bt basic samsung thing with a sticker on the back with Apple 6 written on it. she laughed. Eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjoo888 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 My daughter got her Samsung Galaxy soaking wet during Songkran a couple of years ago. The Samsung service center wanted 9,000 THB to fix the phone, instead we took it to an idependent repair shop at Fortune Town in Bangkok and had it repaired for 600 THB, and the phone is still working fine today.

jacko45k Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Samsung have just announced a special reduced price in Thailand for this model.... Samsung slashes prices.

Sandy Freckle Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The rice thing is a myth. Better to use silica gel or cat litter. Hush up your nay saying....., (I say with some humor). Calling the rice thing a myth is not exactly the complete truth..., the 'rice thing' can and has worked over this recent era of modern smart phones(the phone needs to be buried in a large jar or bag of rice for multiple days preferably away from extremes of humidity if possible).., it's been successful many times according to my research on tech forumns and certainly once in my certain experience. Processed, over dried white rice works best. AND..., yes, it is only one of many methods..., silica and/or cat litter can also work..., they are all worth trying.., just beware of chemical additives.

1FinickyOne Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 No. My wife would be annoyed with herself for about 5 minutes and then - that is life.
