OT
I was planning to replace my 1.5 yo smartphone, because the clickyness of its volume button had disappeared. nothing helped.

then I read about this great fix:

... put a little water over the button and push it several times until the clickyness comes back, then suck the water (and probably dirt) out of the button... (did it with a vacuum cleaner). worked like a charm!

never thought a volume button clicking would feel so wholesome....

is your phone not IP68 rated?

i just wash my smartphone with soapy water in the sink and dry it with a cloth as mine get dirty all the time from my outdoor activities.

Yes it is, indeed!

Washing it regularly would have mosdef helped!

Used to wash my phones too (one reason I always to bought SAMUNGs), but I heard 2-3 years ago that they are actually not certified for soap water which has less surface tension, so I stopped washing them. Thinking about going back to that habit now
