I am just trying to get a valid meaning out of an observation of mine (if right or wrong, pls tell me)
I have a habit of crushing paper into tight balls just by rolling it within my right palm. Sometimes i begin with a little wet paper, sometimes newspaper or any paper. And when done if i keep it in my Air Conditioned room which normally has a drying effect, in 2 days the paper ball is way more tough and strong than any of my normal hand made ball (which i dint start off with a little wet paper and didnt keep in the AC environment). I conclude that water inside was absorbed by the air, and thus the paper contracted. But th point is water was absorbed. So will keeping a wet phone in AC room help ?

That's a valid question, I had totally forgot about that one!
First thing is first in all cases, if a device gets wet you must pull the battery, SIM card, and SD card out (if possible of course).
The cold air from an air conditioner is very dry, allowing the water to evaporate quickly and will not damage the phone. You should still leave the phone there for about 3 days not just 24 hours, just to be on the safe side.
Also have in mind that if you drop the phone in salt water you have to rinse it in fresh water before you begin drying it. I know it sounds crazy, but crystals can still form and cause damage and erosion even if the phone is dry already!
And since we're talking crazy, there's also an alternative way to save a wet phone: Alcohol! Because it attracts water.
The alcohol method works best with phones that got damaged by salt water or coffee.
You'll need denatured alcohol, or a 95% alcohol solution, I think regular rubbing alcohol is about 75 %. However, make sure the alcohol you use is denatured with only methanol. The chemicals found in other types can be damaging to your device. I've seen this alcohol at hardware stores.
Soak up all the water in the phone with alcohol and then dump the liquid, after that only alcohol will remain, don't worry, it will evaporate, just leave it at a dry place for at least a couple of days.
