Galaxy S3 Battery issues after water damage

[Nathan Bogaerts]

So to make a long story short, my phone got wet in and out. It shut down and wouldn't boot anymore. I went online to read how to fix this and cleaned my phone with isopropyl alcohol.
I was lucky my phone booted up again. But I noticed that my phone couldn't read my simcard anymore. My SD-card was no problem. I want to use my S3 like an ipod now but the problem is that it doesn't rest for 1 hour without charging.
When I put it in the charger and use it the battery goes even lower. When I don't use my phone, the part of my simcard heats up. I went looking for the problem on the battery stats and more then half my battery goes to my phone's standy modus. I am rooted with cyanogenmod. How can i fix this?

Thanks for your help anyways

Welcome to Android Central! Even if you dried the phone with isopropyl alcohol, it's no guarantee that you prevented any damage from occurring. You might have stopped it from progressing, but the main damage was probably already done. See this guide, if you haven't already: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ow-s/477140-guide-oh-no-my-phone-got-wet.html

It sounds as if some impurity in the water caused a short that's draining the battery quickly. That can happen in a couple of seconds if the phone is on (or even has the battery in it and it's turned off) when it gets wet.
