i accidentally dropped my iphone 3gs in water but took it out in less than a couple of seconds as soon as i saw it go in. it had a case on it and the damage from the water was minimal. actually you could say none. I immediately opened up the iphone case and disassembled the iphone. wiped out the few drops that got in, and still couldn't get the display to work. finally i disassembled the display and saw that the LCD was damaged. ordered a new LCD and then reassembles the phone. but now i have a weird problem! one thing i have to mention here is that a moron in another thread said that the white thing that holds cable 3 also goes up along with the black tab! I tried to pull the white thing up and it ripped open like paper. luckily i wasn't pulling too hard and only a small part of the white thing came off. i can still put the cable in a lock it in with the black tab down.
now the problem is that i can't hear the other person when i make a call. they can hear me. the proximity sensor is working as the screen turns off when near my face. if i use bluetooth, i can make calls fine. i can make calls fine using the headphones too. when i play songs, i cannot hear them on the speaker. but when i make calls, i can hear the other person on the speaker and the call works fine if i use the speaker. the unlock sound does not work when i unlock the phone. the phone does not vibrate when i put it in silent.
everything else works fine. the home button works fine. volume buttons work fine. power button works fine.
any ideas on how to fix this?
