Don't shake the phone to dry take the battery out right away again, would.u throw a toaster in a bath? Water and electrics don't mix, put the phone into a deep bowl of of rice (not cooked obviously) and leave it for 24-48 hours

after that i didnt inserted it back for around 2 hours, and now ive wrapped it inside my blanket :D :p and when last time i inserted the battery the colours were fine, but then they started to turn/black/purple/green and then fade away slowly, touch was not working too.

After screen went all funny and touch not working is a phone breaker. That funny thing with the screen was you're board dying. As boom said its dead. But I'd sell it on eBay water damage i9300.

    Total failure, throw it away.

    Putting the battery back in straight away was the worst thing to do after water damage.
