remove the battery asap, then if it was me it would go straight into my ultrasonic bath with deionised water for a wash then dried out for a week on the radiator. saved a few phones like this and recently an S3

i aint got a ultrasonic bath and battery cant be removed

ok drill the two screws out with tiny drill bit if you dont have a pentalobe screw driver, DO NOT TRY TURN ON AT ALL, remove battery and blow air through it for until you dont see any water moving around prob around ten mins or so

hairdryer on COOL as possible, even compressed air if you have cans or access to a compressor (dont get to close though) then get someone who can sort it, if stuck mate more than happy help

then you can rice it after all of above

Stick it in a bag of rice in a warm airing cupboard.

This !. A mate of mine done this with his Iphone 3 that went down the toilet (same scenario submerged in water) and left it in rice for 3 days. Rice draws the moisture out apparently. Anyway It worked perfectly well for my mate.

my lad done the same with his ipod, left it in an airtight jar filled with rice for a week and it worked fine afterwards

They can apply this material by putting phones using a vacuum so it covers all aspects of the phones external and internal components, Dicky Hammond did a bit on it a few months back as well its near the end of this vid.

Other major one is liquipel for stuff like this


My iPhone 5 went for a swim a while back, I dropped it in the bath, Twice!!
Thankfully I had quite a tight fitting silicone case on it, that had the sim tray covered (water trigger mark is fine) and had the speakers well covered and it hasn't missed a beat, all I did was take it from the case, towel dried it then removed the sim tray and ran a medium hair dryer over it for 8-10 mins
