    Put it in a tub with rice and in the hot press for 24-48 hours. That should do the trick.

    Did you try to turn it on after you dropped it in? Hope you didn't as you can fry the circuits, regardless throw it into a container with some rice like the other poster said and see what happens, you could be lucky.

    Unless it is an Xperia z then think the rice technique is your best bet as warranty does not cover water damage. If it is an Xperia z just turn it on

    Was it before or after you flushed? :)

    As someone else said try the rice and hotpress trick. Worked for me when my phone fell into a pool.

    Yep put the phone into a container of rice. Change rice every 24 hours if necessary. Leave for in rice for 48-72 hours before switching on. Did that work?
