Chosen Solution
I dropped my phone in water last week. I dried it out with compressed air and put it in rice over night. Everything works fine with the exception that the battery runs out a lot quicker now. I’m wondering if I just need to replace the battery or if it is something else. Any help would be appreciated.
keith harris, the first thing I suggest is that you disassemble the phone using these guides. Then clean the phone with +90% isopropyl alcohol. Use this guide to clean it. After you have everything properly cleaned, replace the battery Reassemble your phone and re-evaluate. If you do not clean your phone, you could get corrosion failure later on compressed air and Rice do not prevent corrosion. Hope this helps, good luck.
Replacing the dock connector did solve my issue.
I have the Same problem, my iPhone 5s is slightly water damaged and I’ve tried replacing the battery but when I charge it, it charges fine, at 6pm it says 100% I then leave it off with no apps running and at 7 am it’s 31%. Also I have my phone on for 3hours and for the majority of that time I was listening to music and it drained 13%, it doesn’t seem a lot but my old iPhone 4s’ battery was by far better had battery.
