Two days ago i dropped my phone in a (clean) toilet and picked it up in a matter of seconds. Since then many strange things have happened, the first 10 minutes after I dropped it the phone worked just fine but for the camera that was all foggy. Then it went out and I put it in rice in front of a cool air vent. 2 hours later when an alarm went off it turned itself on even though when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't let me. So to be on the safe side, I turned it off and left it to dry for another 24 hours. When the 24 hours had went I tried to turn on the phone but it was completely dead. I plugged it in the charger and tried to boot the phone and all it did was blink the led 3 times fast then start blinking steadily for about half an hour. When the half hour had passed it started showing the "charging when turned off screen" saying 0% charged. So I thought I left it overnight and when I wake up it still says 0%, so it hasn't charged anything in 8 hours, which is kinda strange.
What has happened with my phone and how can I fix it, do I need a battery replacement?
Thank you for answers.

Well it's obviously water damage. Might not just be a battery issue, I suggest you send it in to Huawei to fix/replace.

My Touch Pro has been hooked up to a charger for several hours now, and the battery still is at like 60% (which it has been around ever since I got it earlier today).. Something is wrong here, and the device gets really hot too!
Combine that with a qwerty keyboard that stops responding all the time, I think I have a faulty device, but If you can prove me otherwise.. please try!
Restart the device and check the battery level again. Strange thing happened to me for the first time tonight after two weeks of usage. I set my Pro on charge before I went to sleep. Six hours later it showed me that the battery was only 82% full. Checked the cable and left it for another hour. 87%. Decided to reset and battery was showed as absolutelly full.
Thanks!
Not sure what I did, but its working again!
This happened to me last night, phone has been on charge for 10 hours and now only just charged! Any ideas why this hapened?
So, I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 3 that I got around the time they first came out. It's never gotten wet or really had any problems until the past few months. The first thing that happened was the power button broke and it was stuck down for quite a while before I figured out how to "fix" that. A little carefully applied WD-40 around the power button did the trick. I got a new battery and everything seemed fine.
Lately, however, the charging is not working correctly at all. I'm using the same charger that came with the phone and it will seem to work fine most of the time, but it has problems once unplugged. For example, I'll charge it overnight and wake up to it being at 50-80% battery. Other times, I'll charge it overnight, it will then show 100%, but after unplugging it, it will very quickly, like a few minutes, drop to the ~85%. What happened today though was the final straw. I turned it off and let it charge for about 4 hours until it said it was full. I then took the battery out for 5 minutes before putting it back in and plugging it in again. It then said it was at ~15% battery. I turned it on and, yes, 13% after ~4 hours of charging. I still occasionally have problems with the power button getting stuck and causing a rapid discharge, but I can fix that now and I carry two batteries usually. Not being to charge them though isn't going to work.
I currently live in Taiwan and use Chunghwa Telecom. I constantly have a little notification that says "This SIM card is from an unknown source", but I didn't have problems until months after moving here.
Any thoughts on what could be causing the charging to malfunction and how to fix it? I love my phone and would hate to part with it.
Okay, so last night I charged my phone to 100%, went out and listened to some music on the road with a bluetooth headphone for about an hour. When I got off my car, my phone had 65% of charge left. (Didn't do anything besides music). Suddenly after 10 minutes, my phone shut itself off with a message saying, "Battery is empty, phone will shutdown in 30 seconds." Despite that message, I turned my phone on and it had 40% charge left which got me through like half an hour before it died again.
So, what should I do now?
Change your battery pal. I had the same issue and changing the battery fixed it.
I had similar issue with previous phone, when wear it in outer pocket during winter and phone get too cold it shut down and thinks that batery is drained.
I had an incident with the watch. Went on swiming pool and barbecue all day long. The water lock mode was on.
After some hours the watch turned off.
Then I started to charge it and for some reason it was dead. (red light blinking). I was able to see micro particles of water inside the back of the watch.
I placed it on rice and next day it turned on. But all sensors were dead.
Reset and nothing.
Then I left it turned off at the charger for like 12 hours and I can back to life.
In the middle of the process the update came along. I tried to install it hoping to get sensors back.
After everything the battery last about 10 or 12 hours.
Even when in "battery save mode" it wont last longer.
When I charge it, when it hits 100% instead of green light, sometimes it keep charging for a while.
I 'm not sure if the battery needs calibration or if it is something else.
I tried to *#0228# at dial and I can see battery information. But I dont have parameter to compare
What to do?
Sending to samsung is not an option. I bought it in another country and they don't offer services.
Have you fix it?
So i got a Pixel 3 2 weeks ago. I didn't have any issues until yesterday.
In the middle of the day the battery went from 55% to 1% within seconds and the phone shut down. I couldn't turn it back on either.
Temperature was neither extremely hot nor cold.
When i plugged it in and turned it on it went to about 40% immediately.
I thought it might be an issue with root, so i completely reset the phone, installed the latest stock rom and re locked the bootloader.
Again, at 27% today the phone randomly shut off. Then when charging, the phone only charges to 85% and then says it is completely charged. If i unplug and plug it back in, it goes up another 1 or 2 % and then says it is charged again.
Does anybody have similar issues? is this a hardware defect?
Thanks for your answers
sounds like a hardware defect...
