Hi all, I recently dropped my SII into a pool of water and, stupidly, tried to charge it a few hours after to see if it worked. Anyways, I think I blew the charging circuit, but that's not the point.
I've gotten an external battery and a charger for it and am now using that to switch out batteries, as the phone is otherwise fully functional.
My main question is, is it an issue that my phone is running hotter than it was usually? Before it would run in the 30-35 Celsius range but now it's in the 39 Celsius range, which is how hot it would've been when I was playing taxing games before I dropped it in water.
I'm worried that it's running much too hot and that it's going to ultimately cause the phone to explode or something, lol. Additionally, the heat is mainly in the top half of the phone, the battery is a little cooler than the top back-half of the phone. Front screen is a little hotter than I remember it too.
Anyways, any comments would be helpful but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to bite the bullet and give it up on this phone.
