Battery life

[donnyp1]

So i had this issue about a month ago. My phone got submerged in water. I shut it off, took batttery out, blow dried it, and let it sit over night. Next day fired right up with no issues. About 2 weeks later, battery life goes in the toilet. Goes dead in 4 hours with no use. So i bought a new battery thinking that would fix it, but no, it did not. I can understand the phone having issues after getting totally soaked while turned on, but in the past, display used most of the battery, now im getting android os as the culprit. Its strange, what would change from display to android os just by getting wet?. Ive tried multiple roms, its always the same. Any suggestions? Fyi, it dropped in the toilet, nothing worse than seeing your phone screen on while shining up thru the water!

You should just be happy it still works at all

...but sorry I can't be of any assistance in this matter. I would probably just try and start from scratch by flashing a stock 2.2 RUU and then rerooting and installing a custom ROM.

Is everything working such as the sensors, compas, wifi, bluetooth, gps? If one of their chips got fried the os may be constantly trying to load or access something that is not working, therfore killing the battery. FYI the perfered method for drying a soaked phone is to put it in a bag of rice for a couple days. Blow drying just pushes the watter in deeper, and if you do it to much the heat can mess up the circuit board.

I guess if I was in your situation, I would try this first to see how that works. If it fixes it then awesome! If not, you know something else is wrong:-(

are you sure all the water is gone? also the minerals in water will stick around long after the water is gone i bet there is something in there that is shorting it out but on a small scale.

i would suggest to take the phone apart and make sure you dont see any white or milky deposits on the MB or any where else. if you see some you can use 91% or higher isopropyl, (rubbing alcohol) i would use 98% but its harder to get, you can find it at a medical supply store though. Clean up the board and let it air dry before putting it all back together.

taking the phone apart is fairly simple you just need to be patient. i used this video when i needed to swap screens.

Took it apart a few days ago, no residue at all, then bam, today phone dead in 3 hours. Put it on xharger, got it fully charged, removed from xharger 5 hours ago, and im at 70% battery! I have no clue, i changed nothing , it just started holding a charge again.
