Help Note 3 broken! Battery issues :(

[mackytung_]

Hey guys. So I dropped my Note 3 in the toilet long ago (note, i was really drunk. haha) anyway, because I was drunk, upon getting the phone, I didn't follow standard procedure (dont play with it, take out the batt, soak it in rice, etc), I just continued to use it. It still worked anyway. But as days went by, it would ONLY charge when the phone was completely drained (wouldnt charge when phone has juice in it). When I do charge it (when its dead), it would constantly vibrate nonstop. Couple of days afterwards, it would drain so fast, like 1% per minute or so with little to no usage.

And now, it just wont charge, Ive used different cables and plugs, nada. It WOULD charge from time to time- but the quick draining would remain. I tried a new battery in a store, it worked, but when I tested the charging when the phone was off, it would vibrate again. which could be a sign that it'll mess up like my first battery.

I have factory reseted it through settings, useless. I'll be trying the recovery mode tomorrow (out of town right now), would this work? If not, any solutions?

thanks!

The copper in the phone is slowly being eroded away. It's just going to keep getting worse and worse until, one day, the phone will just stop working. Then you can decide which phone to buy. There's nothing you can do at this point. Read Wet Phone so you'll know what to do next time you get a phone wet. (Just putting it in rice is only slowing down the deterioration, it's not really fixing the problem. It's like putting pressure on a severed artery - you'll still bleed to death, it'll just take longer.) Rice is used to get the last few molecules of water out of the phone once you've actually gotten it cleaned and dried.

And it's a great reason to not get drunk any more - that was one expensive drunk (over $700).
