    You should have let it dry for 4 - 5 days. And using a hair dryer likely pushed the water deeper into the device causing the damage to be permanent.

    It is likely that your phone is toast.

    Sorry.

    Your phone is most likely dead with no chance of revival. The hair dryer was
    a mistake (pushes water in, dries contaminants to the boards) and rice, despite
    what many will tell you is unsuccessful more often than not.

    Water and a powered on electronic device is a recipe for bad news.
