when trying to call a number not in contact, the call button returns to the home screen

[AC Question]

Yesterday, my phone took a dive into the toilet. Today when trying to call a number not in my contacts, the call button returns to the ome screen or goes to the google web page.

Welcome to Android Central! What kind of phone is it? How long was it submerged? Did you try to dry it using the bag of rice trick afterwards?
