It looks like it may end up being a play phone for Master 10! We did get a new phone yesterday. Like a lot of you, I am sure, my life is in my phone and it's a management tool. The back up worked 90% and I have all of my contacts and my diary but I seem to have 'lost' my style book app (and contents) and my YLF app?!? I thought I might message Greg for some advice, though I really don't mind repurchasing the App.</p> <p>The plus side is that I was able to get the white iphone, which I find quite attractive (for a phone) ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1029057 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:57:02 +0000 Scarlet 1029057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was funny. Ah, poor phone, such an un dignified way to go, and not even in its own home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1029003 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 03:43:58 +0000 Lantana 1029003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, I feel so sorry for you Deborah.<br /> (But why cant I stop laughing?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1028886 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 00:59:14 +0000 Debora 1028886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I'm hoping a brand new phone is in the picture for you. My son when mud-sliding at college during Hurricane Sandy (boys!), and the rice treatment worked like a charm for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1028830 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:51:58 +0000 citygirldc 1028830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so funny. I've dropped a cell phone in a glass of beer at soccer/football game. &nbsp;Of course, the phone died. &nbsp;AND, I recently dropped my IPhone on the floor and broke the screen. NOthing works. Luckily the new Iphones are coming out in a few weeks. I just need to get on the wait list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1028783 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 22:37:22 +0000 Isabel 1028783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PHEW !!! &nbsp;I am so glad that you backed up. &nbsp;I drowned mine this summer when I spilled a bottle of water onto my bag. &nbsp;I almost cried. It was pathetic. Thankfully, Apple had been tracking me and I had an iCloud account that I was not aware of. &nbsp;Thank God, the one time I was happy to be "followed'.</p> <p>May I make a suggestion ? &nbsp;Lifeproof, it is AWESOME. &nbsp;Waterproof up to 10 feet. And it works. I took it kayaking and took pics with my iPhone ! &nbsp;Supposedly, one can take iPhone pics underwater with it. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=life+proof">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb.....life+proof</a></p> <p>be sure to get the extenders so that you can power up or listen to music and stay waterproof :</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/WHITE-EXTENDER-FEMALE-ADAPTER-iPhone/dp/B009GM1IVI/ref=pd_sim_cps_4">http://www.amazon.com/WHITE-EX....._sim_cps_4</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/General-Headphone-Adapter-Iphone-LifeProof/dp/B00AZZKP4G/ref=pd_sim_cps_3">http://www.amazon.com/General-....._sim_cps_3</a> </p> </p> <p>Mine sat in rice for 2 weeks.

I let it rest in a bag of rice for about 3 days. It still didn't work. The repair people said I should have left it in the rice for a<br /> week. I had to get a new phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027736 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:59:37 +0000 deb 1027736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ultimate withdrawal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027720 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:36:54 +0000 MsMary 1027720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did this a few months ago and three days in a bag of rice did the trick!&nbsp; I about died without it in the meantime, though!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027534 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:25:51 +0000 Anonymous 1027534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, noes! &nbsp;Wishing your phone a swift and complete recovery! &nbsp;(Or maybe this is a good reason to get a new iPhone 5!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027520 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:20:53 +0000 Makrame 1027520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once witnessed this happening to a lady in the next stall. &nbsp;That was right before a road race, and I am assuming she was planning to use it as an MP3 player while running. &nbsp;She was very sad... &nbsp;I hope your phone is OK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027440 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:57:42 +0000 Mochi 1027440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Deborah, I've never done that but came close&nbsp;at least a few times. One reason I'm now super-cautious is because this has happened repeatedly with my sister (who is a very intelligent woman). Somehow we all have our scatter-brain Achilles heel, and that must be it for her. Had to have happened at least a few times to her, including instances where...I don't want to go into too much detail, LOL. So don't be too hard on yourself, and tell hubs to give you a pass on this one.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027432 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:46:41 +0000 Janet 1027432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I almost did that same thing recently, but the phone fortunately fell on the floor, not in the loo. Mental note: do not put phone in back pocket! </p> <p>Hope it recovers. I spilled water on my laptop a few months ago, and immediately shut it off, turned it upside down to let any water run out, and popped it in a huge bag of rice. I waited three days to be absolutely sure it was dry before firing it up again...and it worked! I hope your phone does too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027426 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:39:30 +0000 Suz 1027426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh oh! Hope the phone recovers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I find those accidents always happen when I've done something that I "never do" -- it's crazy how we try to keep our things safe only to wind up wrecking them!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027422 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:38:01 +0000 Diana 1027422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least it was not an automatic flush toilet! My friend dropped her driver's license in on of those.... At the airport no less. When she got up and turned around to fish it out... Flush. Whoops.</p> <p>Hope your phone makes it through unscathed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027410 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:28:38 +0000 Glory 1027410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving at toilet twin! I did exactly this same thing 2 months ago - the darn thing flipped out of the back pocket.<br />Happy to report that it works again. I put it in the rice and knew not to try and power it on. It was glitchy for a couple of days but now works like a charm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027383 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:28:47 +0000 Sveta 1027383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is sad...but funny!

My bag was locked away so I put my phone in my back jeans pocket (something I NEVER do) and forgot it was there until it flipped out as I prepared to take a seat on the throne. I heard a noise like something had dropped, turned around and it's in the loo. I fished it out and sat down and without realising said a couple of time "oh no", the lady in the next stall asked me if I was ok...can't imagine what she was thinking was wrong...and I had to tell her I was fine but my phone was in the toilet lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027363 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:22:28 +0000 Lyn D. 1027363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh No!<br />How on earth did this happen?<br />I have heard about men reading the paper on the throne- Deborah- were you &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />'Fabbing' on the loo? &nbsp;:o </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/communication-breakdown#post-1027352 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 09:21:52 +0000 anne 1027352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear.
