So basically i dropped my phone in a sink full of water. I took it out imediately then took out the battery and let it sit for about 8 hours. I used a hair dryer at a distance on low heat a few times throughout the day. When i turned it on, the battery kept showing up as an x, even after it was on for about 20 min. I used my extended battery and it showed up fine and i left that one in there for about an hour. I put my regular battery back in and now that one shows up as well. Everything that i've used so far (i've had it on for about 16 hours) has worked fine except for the end call button. At first i was thinking, i can live with only one button not working. Until i just made a phone call, but had no way of ending it. Even if you hit the right softkey for menu, theres no end call option.

Long story short, phone got dropped in water, now end call key won't work, but everything else is fine. Any ideas on how to fix it?
