@urazyjazzy okay so that sounds like you are having a water damaged phone. I suggest you treat this just like any other water damaged phone. The very first thing you want to do is to not use it, charge it or sync it. Do not try to turn it on. Next step would be to clean it. For that you must disassemble your phone. It is to new of a phone to have guide ot but use [ [guide|56845|this teardown] to at least get into it. You must remove all EMI shields. If you do not remove those, you might as well not do anything. After you removed those, clean the whole board, connectors and all with +90% isopropyl alcohol. Just soaking it will not help. Follow [guide|5825|this guide] , and even so it was written for an iPhone, all the points are still pertinent to your phone. While you clean your board, check for any obvious damage, like burned or missing components etc. When it is properly cleaned, ''' replace the battery'''. All these steps are to avoid delayed failure caused by corrosion. Best thing to do would be to clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner, but if you do not have access to one, this will at least help. Once all this is done, reassemble your phone, '''replace your battery'''and reevaluate. Until it is cleaned, everything will only be a guess. Even with all this, water damage has only a small chance to be fully repaired.

@urazyjazzy okay so that sounds like you are having a water damaged phone. Number one rule is to skip the rice. It does not do anything. Zero. Zip.Zilch. Nada. All it does is waste valuable time.
