When I turn my phone on I get a message saying "Note: External Power!". It seems my phone doesn't make any sound, The keys are mute, when people call it doesn't ring or vibrate, If I pick up the call, I don't hear anything. I can send text messages and recieve them and that's about it. Any help?

Brand name and model number.

It's a Virgin Mobile CDM 8500. I brought it in the bathroom today, while I took a shower, the humidity could've messed it up.

You have the prepayed plan right/ Your provider is Virgun moble U.S. am i correct? I beliave its not something you can solve in your phone options. it might be broken. Try contacting your provider and see if you can get a new phone, or maybe this one is still under waranty.

I'm having a cell phone problem too...

Whenever I'll try to send a PIX message it says "Network Authentication Failed!" ...what does that mean?
