The buttons on my samsung propel sometimes dont work, when i turn the phone on without my sim card in it the buttons work, my sim card works fine in other phones, i kept turning the phone on and off and got the buttons working one time they were slow at first then just fine within minutes. the phone was water damaged but dried out and everything works fine except for this, also the phone has been unused and sitting on my table for a few months

when phones get wet they start to rust from the inside, unfourtunaly this is a long prosses and can take a few months but usually if the phone has got very wet they will not work propley again. they may work temperally but eventually it will probably be completly usless. in future if u wet a phone try drying it immediatly with a hairdryer, inside the battery bit too, this may help the water inside the phone not to cause rusting. sorry about your phone.
