Solution 1:
Cut the power. Do this now. Don't turn it on.
In an ideal world, you would remove the battery to make sure there is no power going through the phone. The two main types of damage you are likely to do to your phone if it's been exposed to water are: (1) Short circuit - power running though the phone could short circuit the electrical components inside. Cut the power immediately to minimise this risk. (2) Corrosion - the internals of the phone are not designed to come into contact with water and are likely to corrode more quickly. But there's not a lot you can do about this.
Best advice, remove the power and leave it a good, long time (days and days, not hours and hours) before you turn the phone on. If you are lucky and you cut the power in time, you might get away with it. Pour away any water you can that's trapped inside, then give the rest of the water enough time to evaporate away. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

Do a hard reset. Hold the power button down for ten seconds or so, or Google how to do a hard reset. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

Problem: I received a software update last Sunday from Nokia recommending that I download the upgrade which I did. Now the battery only lasts for about 12 hours (previously about 1 week) even if I do not use the phone before I have to charge again. Is his a problem with the update?

Problem: I got my second Nokia 301 on Thursday (because they are so easy to use)... gave it the recommended charging time & started to use it on Friday. After using it for a couple of hours, the screen turned white, but went back to normal about 10/15 minutes later... I thought it was the handset was updating the software. Then out of the blue, the same thing happened again.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what is wrong... Thanks

Even if your phone was advertised as being *free* on a contract, you are paying for it through your monthly payments and you have the same rights that you would had you bought any other electronic item - i.e. at least a year under the Sale of Goods Act.
You do not have to take what you are offered. Don't feel pressured into taking a phone you know nothing about. Check reviews online before you buy a new phone.
Make sure you understand how much you use your phone before you sign up to a new contract. If you only use 250 minutes a month, a 1,000 minute a month contract isn't going to be any good for you. Work out how much you need and look at plans around that amount.
