It keeps asking if i want to turn on air plane mode after cleaning it...

Question

HELP!!! I cleaned my phone tonight with a damp wash cloth, it 'wasn't' soaking wet either. And i had it cut off too, i just wipped it down , and i believe a little bit of water went into the speakers below or something, now it's asking me if i want to turn on air plane mode and something about this feature doesn't work with iphone, and also to do something with audio interference, and that i will not be able to make or recive calls. But i dont get it, i turned it off, reset the network settings, i can still hear everything very good, text messages and calls go out and recive when i choose not to do air plane mode, i hear every tone thats suppose to work, the only thing is that message keeps popping up every few minutes when its on standby, home screen, and after i cut it back on. I really hope i didnt mess it up because everything works and i just was trying to wip it down a little before i went to bed, i've only had it 3 months and just trying to keep it clean. I just want that message to stop, if i do that air plane mode nothing will come in....i'm scared

Actually it is fully exposed to the air and just about all cell phones use this methood. It pretty much just a sticker and requires a lot more than just "moisture". Most phones open the battery cover and look for the white dot. It turns red if the phone ever got wet (a good drop in a puddle, toilet, pool, etc).
For the iPhone, look down the headjack (best if done with screen on as it lights up some). You will see white dot at bottom. It turns red if phone gets wet.
Just cleaning the phone should never set it off unless cloth was wet enough that droplets of water can fall from cloth and down the headjack.
Though sounds like the OP just messed up the connections on the dock as you are not supposed to get them wet. I would just take it to store (with appointment) and not worry about talking about getting it wet.
