Friend of mine dropped my phone into the drain accidentally. It first felled onto hard ground with both battery and casing opened, then the phone itself drop into the drain. That means soaked in water for at least 5 seconds.

Now my phone still can switch on and work all normal but turn to Emergency Call mode like 5 minutes later.

What should I do now? What do you think is the problem and how much will it costs to repair?

My phone is Sony Xperia Arc S.

Please help!

sorry for reporting late,.. gone outstation few days without smartphone sad.gif

and yes, yes yes,.... God must luv atheist too,... my phone working again.....

if u guys ever soak ur phone in water,.. hope u follow the advice here (unless u r filthy rich, just throw the phone away).... i'm surprise so many ppl here got shitto-phobia syndrome,... it just a taboo,... rub it with alcohol can disinfect ur phone,... shit is not that all scary (i change my dad diapers nearly everyday).... 

here is my "Drying Chamber"
