So… My phone fell in the toilet. But that's not the problem. My battery was somehow affected by this. I need to keep my phone plugged in and constantly charged to keep it on. It's a honor 9 lite. It doesn't show that it's charging but once the charger is removed, it turns off. Additionally, it turns on automatically once it's plugged in. Even when it's off. Is this problem fixable?
Is this a good question?

@pleasehelpmei “My phone fell in the toilet. But that's not the problem”, yes it is. What you have here is typical for a water damaged phone. You have not yet properly dealt with it.
The very first thing you want to do is to not try to restart/sync the phone. This may further damage your phone. The next thing to do is to clean it. Disassemble your phone using this video. You must remove all the EMI shields of the logic board. If you do not remove those you are not cleaning 3/4 of the board. Clean everything with +90% (no less than 90%) isopropyl alcohol. Follow this guide, and even so it was written for an Apple 3G iPhone, all the points are still pertinent to your phone. Pay particular attention to the SMD components, check for charred missing or broken missing. You can then dry the board in an oven or equivalent at 220deg F (not higher;-) for a few hours. Best way to clean it would of course be through an ultrasonic cleaner. Consider professional help with that When it is properly cleaned, replace the battery. All these steps are to avoid delayed failure caused by corrosion. Once all this is done, reassemble your phone and reevaluate. Hope this helps, good luck

You have to use another battery and try to charge it.
