Yes - I have an idea as to what the problem is - it was not designed to work under water. ;)

Suggest that you search for water and drying out as other people have had issues like this and there are several threads on what to do and how to dry out your phone.

Hello, bummer it got wet. if the 3 problems listed did not exist before it got wet, if safe to say the problems are a result of getting wet. i know, duh. if soft reset or turning the phone completly off does not fix, the only thing i can say to do is perform a hard reset, of course back up all you important data. i know nobody like to hear that. :)

Did you find the threads that talk about hair dryers, rice etc to "dry out" the phone?

So in other words, you were using it before it dried out. Most electronics can handle getting wet so long as they are dried out and any participate is cleared out of it first. If it's salt water, it must be very well cleaned. If it's dirty water, it's also suggested to clean. Typical rain water probably would not be a problem.

But it still must be completely dry before attempting to turn it back on. And regardless, the battery might be shot.

My guess is you were using it when it was still wet.

Yep, exactly. Sounds like a classic case of someone getting too eager to see if it still works before LETTING IT COMPLETELY DRY. Something was probably still wet and shorted out.
