LG cellphones ftw

soooo get this, yesterday I was doing laundry and couldn't for the life of me find my cellphone at all, (it's a ver.2 LG Chocolate from Verizon, the maroon one) so the day goes by and I still cant find it and of course the battery had died the night before so I couldn't even call it to find it so I could charge the battery. so I backtrack a bit to the pants I was wearing yesterday...which just happened to be in the washing machine at the time. so after the cycle finishes I find my cellphone in the pocket of the wet and just washed pants. so knowing that it's an incredibly remote possibility that it would even function again, especially after going through the whole wash and rinse and spin cycles on top of being battered around in there. I left it out overnight and plugged it in this morning the battery charged! on top of that the phone works even better than it did before which honestly makes me laugh, the keys don't stick and the only thing that seems wrong right now is there are dark patches on my screen. other than that it made a full recovery!! not only am I lucky but goddamn LG makes some serious hearty hardware!
FA+

the dark patches are likely water still in it tween layers of glass and or plastic
very lucky!
Leave the battery cover off for a bit to help get any more moisture out.
I have a LG as well, it's been through hell and it's still ticking.
heh:) The underpants gnomes were thanking you for the offering;)
But seriously, the one good thing about that Chocolate is how durable it is, to a point. I left my old Chocolate out in the rain all night and half a day once. When I found it the screen was purely white and the phone buzzed as if it was ringing every time I pushed a button. After hours of furious cursing and a day of drying, the phone worked perfectly once more.
