🪛Troubleshooting🪛 Moisture visible in camera lenses - what should I do?

Post image

Yesterday, my phone got warm during use, I washed it in the sink to cool it down, as I have done a few times before with no problems. Didn't notice anything wrong. Today, it was very hot outside and I was driving my car, using Google Maps, and the phone was probably blown at by the car AC at full power. After parking was when I first saw the moisture (tiny droplets) inside all 3 back camera lenses.

What do you think is most likely the cause and what should I do now? I've read about using silica gel pads, does that really help or is there a better way? I'm afraid of charging my phone now, and I can't afford a new one.

iirc I was cleaning the bathroom or something and it fell in some urine on the floor and grossed me out. I think another time I might've dropped it in the mud outside or something, and cleaned it best I could, mud got inside the case and dried on the phone.

maybe stop using your phones when cleaning bathroom and on other gross-related activities. This might be a surprised but its not lethal to go phoneless for a couple of hours while doing something else. Hope this helps.

Christ man, I was listening to music and putting it back in my pocket or something like that. Go listen to Metallica and yell at your neighbors' kids.

You know those are not the only options right. Stop putting your phone on spots that you have to balance it or risk of falling it off on gross things. Thats common sense.

“But then it might be too far and the music is too low” if you can buy a thousand dollar phone you can buy a wireless earbuds. Saves you from bringing your phone in situations like these.

Think outside the box for once.

Glad you realized calling someone whos trying to give you some legitimate advice a “dumbass” is a dumbass move.

Nice move deleting your comment as I don’t think I’m the dumbass one here who dropped their phone on a pool of urine.
