So yesterday there was wet, heavy snow and during a walk my phone got wet. Since then the volume button has been sticking. If I hit volume up it'll go to max volume automatically, and if I try to lower the volume it'll end up being silenced. It's pretty damn annoying at this point. When I got the phone it would sometimes do this, but it's since subsided.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so what did you do?

Re: Volume button sticking

Read Oh, no! My Phone got Wet!. If it's just the button, it's plastic, so a little alcohol bath and there won't be any damage. If it's the switch, you might need a new assembly. (Sandwich bags are cheap.)
