Have you ever accidentally dropped the phone into a puddle or to the bath?
When something like that happens you normally would reflexively take the mobile phone. Of course, in a state that is already wet, or evens the total dead and somehow had to do with.
Suggestions are then often heard is, "Cover phones with rice". Yes, from parents or peers, generally would suggest the same thing. As if the rice has the magic to make the gadget dead back to life.
The suggestion is not entirely wrong. But the question that then arises is, what is the rice can solve problems that drenched the mobile phone?
This trick is not new. Even inserting a gadget soaked into the rice has been performed since decades ago.
In 1996, Earl Proulx of Yankee magazine wrote about this rice in the rubric "Make It Last: Over 1,000 Ingenious Ways to Extend the Life of Everything You Own".
"If you bring a camera to the warm and humid climates, use of silica gel or translucent bag of rice in the air as the protector of mildew and rust," he wrote.
Furthermore, the 1946 edition of the magazine Popular Photography published similar articles. This time it is mentioned that in order to keep the moisture level of the film, keep it with silica gel or can also use tea, brown paper, and rice.
Meanwhile in 2014, Gazelle.com tests this myth and proves it wrong. Rice was not reliable enough in terms of absorbing moisture. His ability is far worse when compared with oatmeal and instant rice.
A journalist at The Verge, which incidentally dropped his cell phone to the bottom of the lake, and then tries to prove it. A phone that plunged into the lake and died was put in the box of rice.
And as the experience of The Verge reported Nextren, Wednesday (16/09/2015), the experimental results prove the trick was wrong.
A phone that was sinking at the bottom of the lake was indeed alive again, at least for some time. But after a few weeks running, the phone is back in trouble and losing the signal.
He also took it to the service center. Officers service center that takes care of it any confusion, until finally he asked, "Did you drop the phone into the water?"
