So i put my new samsung galaxy S4 Active in shallow water today and i made sure everything was pushed down and shut so no water gets in, but while taking the photo the screen went black so i took the battery out and dried it now my phone is in rice. is there any way to fix this problem?

Take it back must be a crack or improperly sealed case

Did you make sure all of the connections were snapped in? Theres one under the camera that will let water in if its not snapped

If you had to dry the battery you had a bad seal that rubber seal is what keeps water out its either from the battery door or you didnt cover a port with a flap either case congradulations you now have water damage
