Expert names a way to save a wet phone
If your phone gets wet, you should promptly take a few steps to save it from breakage. Alexei Yurasov, professor of the Department of Nanoelectronics of RTU MIREA, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, told about it on Thursday, January 9.
"The first thing to do is to turn off the phone and wipe the case dry. Attaching to the charger is categorically forbidden," he said in conversation with Lenta.Ru.
According to the expert, further actions depend on the degree of getting wet.
"If the phone was in the snow, it should be cleared of snow as soon as possible, then in a short time the snow will not have time to melt and cause damage. The same should be done in case of short-term exposure to moisture or water droplets. The phone should be placed vertically, charging connector down, and wait for the holes on the bottom of the case to dry completely," he explained.
If the phone is completely immersed in water, even for a short time, the procedure is the same except for the last step, Yurasov added.
He noted that you can use an air compressor or a cylinder of compressed air to speed up the drying process.
If the phone does not turn on, you should contact a service center for professional help, he concluded.
Earlier, on December 30, 2024, the website aif.ru reported that from 2025, telecom operators will not activate the SIM card until they check the passport data of the buyer through "Gosuservices" or the Unified Biometric System (UBS).

To replenish the balance of the phone in cash in the post office or in the office of the cellular operator will require a passport. If you pay for communication services with a bank card, everything remains unchanged.
In turn, technoexpert of the service "Take Charge!" Sergey Birzhevoy listed the reasons why the SIM-card can stop working. Most often it is caused by problems with the service provider, such as network congestion or restricted access due to technical works, RT reports.

On December 11, leading analyst of Mobile Research Group Eldar Murtazin named in a conversation with "Moskva 24"the reasons for smartphone explosions and gave recommendations on how to prevent them.

Earlier, on November 3, the technical director of the service "Paverbanks MTS Yurent" Ilya Kazakov told "Izvestia" about the applications that quickly drain the battery of the phone. According to him, the battery is drained by GPS navigation applications, as well as those that are constantly running in the background, downloading new content and sending notifications.
