Get water out of your phone speaker. This is a free browser tool. A low tone can push droplets out of the speaker grille. It does not dry the phone.
First, a safety check. Was the phone under water for a long time, or does it not turn on? Do not use the tone. Go to wet phone first aid. Also skip it if the phone is hot, or the liquid was salt water, soap or juice. A splash, or a quick drop in a sink or pool? You can use the tone.
Now, set up the phone. Turn the volume to maximum with the side buttons. Disconnect Bluetooth headphones and speakers. Take off the case. Put the phone speaker side down on a dry cloth. Keep the phone away from your ear while the tone plays.
Press Start the tone. First you hear a short rising sweep. This is the listen check. How does it sound? Clear. Muffled or quiet. Or no sound. To hear it again, press Play the sweep again.
One cycle has 10 short pulses. They step from 150 hertz up to 300 hertz. Each pulse lasts one and a half seconds, with a short gap between pulses. Here are the first three pulses of the real tone.
There are three cycles, with a 12 second pause between them. In the pause, wipe the speaker grille with a dry cloth. Put the phone speaker side down again. Need more time? Press More time, plus 15 seconds. In Options, choose a cue when a step ends: Android phones vibrate, an iPhone chimes.
When the session ends, listen again. Does it sound clearer now? If it does, test the microphone. Then start the drying timer before you charge. If it sounds the same, you can run up to two more sessions. Then let it dry in moving air. Still muffled? Use the problem finder.
Wait at least 5 hours before you charge with a cable. This is Apple's rule for a wet iPhone. Do not use heat, compressed air or rice. Leave the phone in a dry place with some airflow. Wireless charging is fine once the back is dry.
The tone does not dry the phone or the charging port, and it does not repair water damage. Device testing is not finished, so we claim no results for specific phones. myphonespeaker.com
