Iphone got wet and now battery drains rapidly?
So not long after I redeployed back to germany from Afghanistan, I dropped my Iphone into a puddle of water. Typical thing happened, it shut down. I can not return it, because in my hysteria of trying to believe that it was okay and just "sleeping", I opened it up dried up as much of the insides as i could, and my guess would be that i broke whatever warranty that I didn't break by having it jailbroken during the deployment. Now everything is like 99.999% great, there's no touch issues, camera issues, sound, signal, nothing issues in any of the majors areas. The phone still charges, still syncs, and still connects to Ipod docks. The issue is though, that the battery dies (doesn't get hot or anything) just dies, really rapidly. The phone sometimes announces that something is connected that's not optimized for Iphone, and this happens when NOTHING is connected. My initial guess was that dust or water got on the connector port, is making contact with two connectors, and making the phone keep trying to send out power or something to the connector. I've tried cleaning the connectors to no avail. I can't even turn the phone off to save battery, it'll turn itself back on to tell me about my imaginary device that's not compatiable. What's left for me to do?
