When you dropped your phone in water.

Put it in a bowl of dry rice for 12 hours to dry it out. Anyways, it seems like a good thing. Buy an android now

remove battery. wrap a cloth (preferably a single layer) around the mobile and place it in a rice sack or drum. there is still moisture inside the mobile and if you continue to use your mobile that way, it'll permanently damage your mobile.

Doing it will increase temperature of the handset which in turn will vapourise the water present inside, right?

nope. it'll act as silica gel. absorbing the water vapor. cloth is not a must but a precaution so that rice dust enters the case.
