Today my Huawei Honor 8x fell into the water!
I immediately got it out of the pool, turned it off and put it in rice. After an hour I saw that a small light shines red next to the camera. It can no longer be switched on. If I press the lock button for 10 seconds, the light goes out briefly and then on again!
You probably broke the cell phone by pushing around.
you don't switch off the cell phone, just take out the battery - if that doesn't work, you leave the cell phone as is, don't use the screen or any key.
putting in rice is okay. But not an hour, but at least 3 days. Better a week. And leave it completely alone. Silica gel is even better than rice.
An hour was clearly too short, 2-3 days would have been better. The red light actually means that it is deeply discharged, it may well be that it is now in A * sch.
Cell phone water damage? Rice doesn't help!
Have you ever heard of the fact that you should simply put your cell phone in a bag of rice to save it from water damage? That's nonsense! If the cell phone has fallen into the water, rice will not help. Just look at what happens when you put grains of rice in a salt shaker. Right: nothing. The rice stays as it is, it does not absorb water from the air. Rice only swells when it is surrounded by water. And the cell phone shouldn't be that wet after you have already dried it. Therefore please note:
You can put your cell phone in a bowl of rice to dry. Only: it doesn't work!
If you put your cell phone in a bag of rice to dry and also seal this bag airtight, you are probably doing more harm to your cell phone than helping it. The rice does not extract the water from the air and the water can't evaporate because the bag is sealed airtight. So the water stays in the bag - and some of it probably also in the cell phone.

You should always let your smartphone air dry for at least 48 hours before trying to switch it on again.
The mistake that is always made is to switch on the smartphone.
This often breaks it down because it is used to drive electricity through the circuit board.
And everyone knows that electricity and water don't go together.
