Hello. I'm new to this forum and hoping I can get some help with a unique situation.
Last week my wife washed my phone. The battery was completely dead and went through the whole wash. I found it before it went in the dryer and took it apart as much as I could. Let it dry out all day, then took a blow dryer to it for about 15-20 minutes. I plugged it in to charge and the battery charging icon came up and it appeared to be charging. After a couple hours I took it off and everything worked fine.
A Couple days later I noticed it shutting off randomly. I thought this was due to the phone going into "power save" mode, but then it started shutting off in the middle of calls. I did a test all day one day where I left the phone plugged in all day, during usage, etc. and had no problems at all. So I figured my battery was shot. I went and bought a new one a few days ago with the charger that just charges the battery (dock). So I let the new battery charge up for a couple hours (til the light on the dock was green) and tried it out. It worked perfectly and the phone stayed on all day. I thought my problems were over.
Then yesterday I took my phone out and it was off again I turned it back on and just as before it seems like each time it goes into "power save mode" it turns itself off. So as it is right now, the phone works fine unless it goes into power save mode. I have the screen set to lock out after 30 minutes (longest I can choose) and it stays on the whole time. But it seems like if I let it go past 30 minutes, it turns off.
I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue, but I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions that might help my phone avoid power saving mode? Or any suggestions at all really. I know that sounds weird, but I'm really hoping to salvage this phone (at least until I'm eligible for an upgrade in November ) since it is still fully functional, just has a power issue.
