Z2 deranged

Mascibran83 — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 01:18:23 GMT

Good evening! After I wet my phone, with all the compartments well sealed, micrpphone began to experience problems. The person with whom I speak not listen to me. There are only muffled hum. Also, I cannot send audio files through Whatssup. In addition, the phone constantly warns that the headset is connected, but is not! The speaker also presents problems. To complete the list of misfortunes with this device, no music is performed on the Walkman. Please, help me!!!

Let the phone dry for few hours.

Was it wet with just water or some other liquid such as a food-splash or drink? The phone is only specced to withstand clean water, not salt water etc.

Pure water doesn't conduct electricity. It is the salts and impurities disolved in water that make it conduct. Since the headphone socket terminals are exposed it could be that some conductive film left by the splash is convincing the phone that headphones are plugged in. Though I can't explain for the other symptoms since I didn't realise the mic terminals would be exposed.

If drying it out doesn't help then try submerging the phone again but this time in as pure water as possible. preferably distilled water.
