My note II got wet and I need some advice

[AC Question]

After a more than 15 minutes travel, I got home and noticed that something inside my bag has leaked. I immediately checked my phone and saw that it got a little wet. Without any hesitation, I tried to turn it on (I just thought that it died because of having a 0% battery). It "opened" but it was just flickering.
Since I haven't experienced something like that before and since I haven't really met someone who really knows what to do, I just adapted my friend's way: using the hair blower. It worked for her anyway (her phone was wet after her daughter swam with it)
As I was blow drying my phone, I realized that the exposure to heat may destroy my phone so for no more that five minutes, I stopped and checked if it is gonna work. (really panicking because I need to talk with someone that time) but then again, it is just flickering.
Now, I just learned that one may use rice in fixing wet phones BUT one must not turn it on or try to blow dry it. Can I just get any additional advice or explanation? Do you guys think that my phone can still be fixed (especially now that I have put it inside a bag of rice)?

Water damage is a tricky thing, a food dehydrator actually works wonders by blowing warm air on it.

It's a mistake to power it on while moisture may still be in it, typically if wet and powered off nothing can short or fry itself.

The main reason people use rice is it has the ability to draw and absorb moisture as long as it's sealed in a container or bag with the phone, usually takes a few days.

Even when damaged, I've taken a few phones apart and cleaned them with electronics cleaner and a toothbrush and they worked again, but I've also had phones I couldn't get working again.
