I stopped putting my phone in rice after a drop and it saved the screen

My phone fell in a puddle at the park last month, and I almost buried it in a bag of rice like everyone says. A repair guy in my town told me the rice trick can actually push moisture deeper into the ports while the phone is off. What do you all do for a wet phone instead?

Rice has worked fine for me every single time.

Well, you must have the magic touch. My rice always comes out like wet cement.

You rinsing it first? I used to get that until I started washing the starch off.
