Why won't my iPhone 4S sound work?

[Charley]

I woke up to find my iPhone laying in a tiny dribble of water, (not enough to damage, I wouldn't have thought), when I put my phone on charge it had started to play up, and chose when it wanted to charge, I don't have a problem with this now, I'm just not sure if it's somehow connected. My problem at the moment is that my phone won't play music, videos (on my phone, Instagram, snapchat) also my lock sound and keyboard clicks don't work, and when I use the volume buttons I doesn't turn up or down, it just shows a bell with no bars underneath, and on my music library the volume bar is faded. My phone can ring, and I can talk on the phone, both on and off loud speaker. Since this has happened my phone has worked perfectly twice but for all of 30 minutes, if that. I have restarted the phone and left it in a bowl of rice. I have not yet reset the phone as I have a very important voicemail that I can't bear to get rid of, I will only reset if I know for sure it will work. Please help me

this exact thing happened to me with my iPod, what I did was turned it off and then turned it back on. it's just like one of those glitches

Put it in a bowl of rice for a couple of days, the rice will soak up whatever water is in it.

Send it to someone to fix it.

Hi, your phone seems to have the exact behavior an iPhone has when it is plugged on a dock (iHome or other) The volume bar isn't showing and no sound is heard because it thinks it's on a dock, and it is sending that sound through the plug. Make sure the plug is dry, and try to plug it in and move the plug around a bit. It might help.
