Hello,
I have a Galaxy S5, allegedly water resistant... It accidentally took a quick dip in a hot tub, now no one can hear me talking on it but I can hear them. On speaker mode they can hear me but it's garbled. Works fine with plug in head set and bluetooth, so I'm assuming it's the built in speaker? I shut it down and towel dried it, opened it up, removed battery etc. And put it in a tub of silica drying beads overnight... No luck. I went to 3 different stores looking for 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and could only find 91%, so didn't try that solution. Worried it may contain too much water?
The phone is out of warranty, so anyone have any ideas or suggestions to help me out? Been reading threads here but nothing has worked yet.
Thanks
