2. Put Phone In Rice

Rice is a natural desiccant, which means that it absorbs moisture from the air. To remove water from your phone speaker using rice, simply place your phone in a bowl of uncooked rice and cover it completely. Leave your phone in the rice for at least 24 hours, or longer if necessary.

3. Keep your Phone Standing Upright

So what you need to do to remove water from the speaker is place your phone at room temperature. Stand your smartphone in the position where the speaker is at the bottom. You have to place it for approx 24 hours to remove water altogether.

To remove water from your phone speaker using a hairdryer, set the hairdryer to the lowest setting and hold it about 6 inches away from your phone. Move the hairdryer around the speaker for a few minutes, until you see that the water is starting to evaporate. Be careful not to overheat your phone, as this could damage it.

6. Shake Your Phone

If you’re lucky, the water droplets in your phone speaker are just chilling there, waiting to be ejected. All you have to do is shake your phone like a Polaroid picture (but don’t do that, it’s terrible for your phone).

Hold your phone with the speaker facing downwards and shake it gently. If you hear water sloshing inside, you’re on the right track.

My Personal Experience With water in phone speaker muffled

Let me Tell you a honest story

In 2020 when water got into my Lava A97. What I did was, I actually restarted my phone while it was wet. That was one of my biggest mistakes because of which the motherboard and other components got damaged, and my phone wouldn’t turn on. This is a mistake you should avoid.

So, whenever water gets into your phone, you should never turn it off. Leave it as it is and do not press any buttons. Pressing any buttons can push water further into the device.

Furthermore, I’ve read about multiple methods like the rice method and the audio methods, where you play an audio clip designed to vibrate at a frequency that can help remove foreign particles, including water.
