i searched up google and it tells me that red dot is indicator of water damage to phone..... after drying up i can boot phone... it is turning on... i havent tested other functions cuz i found some more water so i left it to dry..........
i will take it to samsung tomorrow and hope for best...
Please take a picture of the red dot. I wanna see it.
And maybe we can put a waterproof sticker over the red sticker so that when the phone actually does fall in water it won't turn red. Then remove the waterproof sticker and give it to the service center.

Oh you are that Delhi guy. Remember me
And for your phone.
Did you tried downloading mode. If working flash the stock rom. Then took it to Samsung guys.
But I think you should let it dry first fully and try your luck.
Better try with a dryer after removing the battery.
Yeah better let it dry first. I think putting the phone in a bowl of rice helps as well.
Edit: This might help.

Warranty is void anyway because of the awesome red dot stickers, so you could have told him since you'll be paying for the repair. But if telling CM7 is just an app worked then that is going to help a lot of Mini users claim their warranty. Thanks for sharing, man.

Trust me, the Service Centre guys are that much Educated, that they don't even know about Custom ROMs and to detect whether the ROM is rooted or not.

In my experience,for hardware damange they don't check your phone/ROM .... they only connect to kies when they need to check software

You referring to the current situation (Water damage, but Phone's working) or a fully bricked state.
And, they think Kies software would detect the Phone with a fully bricked state?
And if the phone is working, how much time would it take to look on "About Phone" section. From there, the Service Centre guys could easily detect whether Custom ROM is installed or not.

good luck but unfortunately I don't thing it's going to be alive again...please let us know...
There is no waranty that covers water damage to the phone. Only phone insurance wich i doubt you have. If they inspect your phone, they will void your waranty because no matter how much you dried it, water leaves marks. Anyway, if the screen is ok and the phone boots up, you wont have to pay that much for the reparation.

You may be right that they can check in "About Phone".
But I have witnessed cases that the service center guys acts like totally idiot and can be easily fooled.
I think most of them don't have knowledge and they just do a GOOGLE SEARCH.
Once I told them to repair my headphones just after 7 days of purchase they asked me to give my phone, I asked Why?
They (she)replied: we have to check phone. She typed some number on the dial *#*#1234...something and some other number to get details.
I even asked them to upgrade it to gingerbread from froyo and i gave my phone.
Then next day I came to get my phone with repaired headphones
and those foolish! Mad ass people reflashed muy phone with what: froyo over froyo and i lost everything.
I asked (in anger) why did you reflashed with old one. In that they said gingerbread is not yet available.
As far as for flashing they surely used kies.

Hey, i was taking some under water photos during my weekend trip. All my ports were closed before i put my mobile in the water. Suddenly my camera app stopped working & booted in to safe mode. I was sure it was less than 30mins & as soon as i came out of the water i noticed all my ports changed in to red color. After a few hours the phone stopped working & i tried to draining the water with rice method. It's been 48years still my phone is not turning on.
When i connect it to a pc/charger, it does turn on for few secs with the red led & turns off with 3vibrations.
Nothing works, except that. I guess it is hard bricked. Is there any solution to fix my phone or back my data?
Regards
Let the phone dry just in case there is still water in it, try it after the next day and see what happens.

Update: Got my mobile back from the service center. They told me there was a drop of water behind the power button, that caused the reboot & advised not to take under water photos. Also i had to pay for the service since it doesn't come under warranty.

XZ Waterproofing
Hello bro's, Just do take note that the rubbers on the flaps degrades as used. If one uses the power flap and the earphone flap often, then the waterproofing will be less and less reliable.
Though i have used this quite a number of times under water before 1 meter, i used it while it's still a few months old, but i dare not use it after long use.
Power button, if you want it prolonged, use a software such as SCREEN OFF AND LOCK on play store. It will pro-long the button's maximum time before failure. (MTBF)

Glad I read this thread. I had a feeling that using buttons as a shutter wasn't a good idea whilst underwater. I think Sony need to reiterate this is water RESISTANT, not water proof.

That's a very good point to make, will add that to the OP of my resource thread. Might be worth trying to modify the ports with some tape to give a tighter seal, especially if you're one of these People who insist on doing what's recommended not to or push the boundaries of a devices required limits.
The most amount of water my Z has seen so far is a few splashes of rain and wouldn't dream of sticking it in a glass of water to show off or actually take it into a swimming pool or the sea just because the IP rating says I should in theory be able to.
It's hard to have sympathy for some People.
I think the only way is to bring it down to sony service centre

I'm late, if it happens again you try to hold down the reset button on the back of the sp to vibrate 3 times. I happened the same thing to you and this solve my problem very easily. Your SP was on all the time until the battery ended and reset, at this point he returns to charge normally.

Do one thing wrap the phone with a paper(preferably newspaper)
Keep it below a bulb(not CFL or LED)
Keep it for an hour, just don't keep it too close.
batterie HS
your batterie is HS i think i have an xperia sp hs after water !!! i test with new
batterie is work perfect new !!!
Just wait a while and do what androidtweaker1 said:good:.Keep the flaps open(and remove the sim card/sim tray and the sdcard),it will help with the evaporation.For all u know,it might be a simple short! Don't try to turn it on all the time,if there is water left inside,pushing electricity through soaked chips and circuits will fry them not to mention the battery.
Then if the phone still doesn't work,then its to the sony store for a repair.
Put it in a bag of rice may help

So a little update. I don't know how will it be, because when I'm trying to charge it, it becomes very hot. And it doesn't vibrate anymore when I'm trying to turn it on... Only red light when I'm charging it. I took it for repair, and repairman said that screen of this phone was already changed by previous owner probably. Because it's not fully attached. ( I only realised that after trying it's "waterproofness" ) So... I don't know... I'm very upset with this accident because I payed 252.7$ for this phone... I just have a little hope that mayybeee... one day it will come back to life..
Of course any suggestions are still very appreciated...

What kind of help do you need?
It fell into water. There are many things that could have been damaged, if it isn't working then there isn't anything you can do.
Just get her a new 20$ dumb-phone.

The first thing you should avoid after such accident is avoiding charging your phone..
as it may harm your mother board
