Could be broken, could just be dust or other crap, try blowing into it ala Gameboy/N64 cartridges.

Pulled some gunk out of it with a toothpick yikes I guess that's what the sliding usb door is for thanks

Take the battery out and put it in a bag of rice and let it sit for a week or two. Let it sit and do not touch it, the rice will get whatever moisture and leftover water that might be in there. And another note, odin will not work on the incredible, odin is only for samsung phones.

+1 to this.
Powering it on was a bad idea, though... Hopefully you didn't short anything out.
It wasnt me who turned it on but it really didnt get that wet it was only on the outside but something is preventing it from booting normally

I should say that when I don't have a charger plugged in it says that its charging when the phone is off

It sounds like Car Home or a similar docking app. What triggers this screen? Plugging into a car charger, Bluetooth, etc.?

May be a bad usb port

mine did the same thing this morning, not sure what caused it to do that
Probably a txt msg or any other notification coming in?
All I can think is it may have been the quick glance setting and once in awhile my keyboard switches to 1 handed mode while I'm typing buggy little bits

Some chargers are faulty and dont stay plugged in. They were talking about this in the international thread. Some have done modifications on their charger.

charging sound repeats

Why does my phone keep making the sound that it makes when you first plug in the charger over and over repeatedly, every minute or two?
Sounds like the cable is moving inside the port. The note 1 was plagued by this issue. Try wiggling it around to see if that was it.

If you're plugged into a computer/laptop, drain is probably equal to the amount the kernel can pull from USB for power. Stock kernel has 500mA limit for USB connections compared to 2A wall connections.
