My phone's been restarting a few times since it fell into water last night. Maybe it's hardware related, but I don't know what else it could be as it is functioning properly when it's on. Any ideas?

@johngcan,

Sorry to hear that your phone has been dropped into the water. I suggest you to visit any nearest Samsung authorized service centers so that the technician will examine the phone to determine the root cause of the issue.

Aren't they supposed to be «waterproof»?

I think depends on which model. Not all models are waterproof.

I don't think any are water "proof" I think they are water "resistant"
Id do what @Echo1 said, turn it off and throw it in a bag of rice ✌️👍

@mytech I take my phones swimming with me.. I like music under water haha. I kid it's really for my boom box that floats that's not a joke.

The drop could of cracked something or damaged something inside.

@vape I could use one of these, a community floaty speaker that's durable bc them kids always be rough housing and even the 6 year olds have phones that constantly play music and YouTube 🙄🤪👍
I'm still waiting on my remote sensors from ebay (thanks again 👍)
What speaker do you have?

@mytech kids are lovely, aren't they?

this one https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01BHX75ZG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_pKPAEbART604D you can also get it at crappy tire. It's not a crazy loud speaker but it does the job out of the boat or just floating around on the dinghy.

Anytime man is I see or use anything else that might be handy I'll let you know.

Before going to the nearest Samsung Service Center which might not be all that near...
I would place your phone in a bag of rice over night to completely dry it out and then try and serif that helps..if not then I think a trip to the Samsung Service Center might be on the cards
