    Well when i got the phone out of the water it was already off, wouldn't switch on. Everything is back working now except for the alarm, wouldn't work this morning. I also can't seem to text. I can receive texts but not reply yet..Also my ringtone sounds dodgy..but at least i can receive calls and texts for now..I was so worried as this was a new phone.. thanks everyone for your input :)
