Rumor about the hole of the earpiece! Waterproof Rumor! - Xperia Z2 General

Browsing other Xperia Z2 forum, a user asked about the water resistance and input headset, since it has no external insulation, as covers. One reviewer said the author of the following topic:
"Check if you don't see a screen light in the hole, there were some not sealed examples problems.. it should be dark when the phone is unlocked. Would help to make sure it is sealed."
This actually makes sense?
I tested mine and when I turn on the device screen I can see light through the hole of the headset!
Has anyone tested to see if it makes sense?

I haven't heard about this, but for the screen gap issue Sony said you could take your phone to a repair center for a water resistance test, I'm sure they would do this for you if you are worried about it.

I see the light of the screen through the jack and I plunged my phone several times in the water, no problem.

As I said though if you are worried about the headphone plug, they should be able to test that for water resistance as well.

I can see the light too, no water has passed so far (at least nothing that effected the phone). Not sure if a straight way to the digitizer does any good.. Like is the digitizer waterproof?

This sounds strange but put the hole to your mouth and such on it like a straw then plug it with your tongue. If the suction stays then your good and waterproof.

I can also see light and phone is waterproof. And its not a hole, its just thin plastic leaking light through itself

I was very relieved! The people have to be careful with things that speak the internet! This sometimes ends up becoming epic proportions and great discomfort to the users of the device!
Actually I noticed that there is a thin plastic near the light!

X10 Creaking

hello everyone
Today I noticed my x10 creaks when using the bottom three buttons and sometimes the touchscreen. I bought the phone brand new from carrier 2 days ago, does anyone else experience this? its nothing TOO serious, just quite annoying for someone with OCD like myself. What should I do?

My buttons don't make any noise. If you even hear the noise when pressing on the screen, maybe the back cover isn't fitted correctly?

Thats what I mean, its' not the buttons that make noise, but the back cover I believe.. when pressure is applied. I checked to make sure it is fitted correctly and it is. Also I believe there is a slight creaking on the front panel as well. Is this normal?
Yup, mine makes a noise too, but its not noticeable unless you're listening for it

No that's not normal. If it's only the back cover, maybe it's bend because you applied too much pressure when pulling it off. But if the front also creaks then there's something wrong. mine doesn't make creaking noises at all.

I kno what you mean, but I had iphone before and the thing was as solid as a rock. With the X10, I apply pressure I can feel some 'give' as if i am pressing the panels together, which creates the slight creaking noise. I dont even know if I could describe it as creaking, its very minor but still noticeable
When I had the black x10a it creak for me when I pressed the back button. After a few days I bought the x10I to have 3g on tmobile and it doesn't creak. Maybe its the x10a only?

Hey, yeh mine creaks too, its more so the side pressure of the hand squeezing the sides when in yur palm, than the force down of the buttons. Im not very satisfied with the elcheapo effect of the back cover, lol. I too was an iphone user, solid rock, but i love my x10a!
Thanks to everyone, I guess it's semi-normal, I wish it wouldnt make any noises because it makes it feel cheap
Creeking here aswell and it is actually the battery making the noice since its probably has got a tiny bit deformed in 8 months of pocket riding it is able to move somewhat in it's compartment. Everything else is solid.
And i have to really stress it to make it creek, nothing really bothering.

^Thats a good point. Last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't remember where I put my x10 down. I stood up and realized I was sitting on it. Not a big deal considering its a pretty cushy couch but I probably squished the battery together a bit.
I think only white ones make noise my black x10i is very solid

I know 4 people who also have the xperia x10, never heard them complaining about creaking. Never heard it either. We all have the black x10i.
Somebody here said something about a deformed battery, that could be true indeed. Lithium polymer battery's have no plastic case, they can be bend or deformed. It could be the reason your x10 makes creaking noises.
You could buy another back cover from ebay, they're not expensive.

Xperia Z1 drop test

Post if you have done the same.
Disclaimer: Not for faint heart. Do not try this..
It hurts bruh!!
If you are thinking of doing this, wait for the killer at the end...glad to know I will have a nice looking paperweight if I drop it 3 times
But nice find.
But I'm really impressed with the vertical drop, where the speakers landed first. I expected the chassis to be filled with dents and holes from the rough surface. But damn our phones are sturdy man!
"Post if you have done the same"
Seriously, who in their right mind would do this on purpose to this piece of beauty
I'm actually surprised it holds so well (well, except for not working afterwards anymore hehe).

I don't like that video. As have been told, they didn't record it straight without video cutting also they didn't show if it works between falls, they didn't try to call if problem is only with display. If I want to guess what is wrong with that device I would rather say that only ribbon cable don't have good connection than device is broken.
You should understand guys that these people are sponsored. They might be getting so much from apple or sammy or lg, or even nokia. They need to make the competition look bad so that people would look the other way around. Sometimes they use these kinds of diversion "Oh I'm really surprised that the phone is holding up so well. The screen might be broken, chassis is junk, back plate/plastic/glass is also broken, but on the lighter side the phone still works flawlessly." ORR "This phone works quite well, but I just can't accept the fact that the loudspeaker isn't good enough."
About the loudspeaker diversion, they're just looking for something negative for their closing remarks. Because that's what usually sticks to people, the closing remarks.
Well, and one should always remember that one instance is no guarantee for other instances...
In these drop tests it can matter quite a bit if the angle in which the phone hits the pavement is just that bit off, or whatever other random influence. It is just AN indication, some ppl drop their phone once and it's immediately shattered. Others drop the same phone 10 times wth only minor dents as a result.
But my response was mainly because people shout "FAKE" or "PHOTOSHOPPED" at just about every video or picture posted on the internet, it was nothing personal @gm007

SEVERAL TIMES? Dude, no offense, but are you retarded? after the first time, did you not think to yourself "maybe this isnt the best place to put the phone"?
And for the people saying about being fake? what? why would it be? a) the unit was probably free from sony anyway.. if not then b) the views they get on youtube for that video most likely pays for the cost of the phone. and c) they do this drop test with most of the phones they review. so remind me again why this could be fake?
The reason they didn't show the phone working after each drop, is probably coz it broke after the first drop, which meant that there was no point in carrying on with the drop test. And they wanted to carry on with the drop tests. That's all!! Stop with the bribing nonsense.

Waterproof test

Thanks to Handtec my z3c arrived in Munich just in time for the second weekend of the Oktoberfest. I couldn't resist to test waterproofness right on Saturday .... Just wanted to share. [emoji41]
Btw. I experienced the volume of the phone speaker during calls quite low. Hard to understand outside in the street even with volume at max. Did you have same issues?
Thanks.
Probably because the speakers/microphone were still wet.
Sony says this about it on their website:
If either the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be affected until all the water has completely dried.

Beer has a ton of sugar which will dry and fill in your speaker grill, you need to wash your phone with water (don't run it under the sink, pressure could be too high), put it in a bowl of warm water, dunk it in and out a few times, shake it off and check the volume.

You need to rinse it off, if you hadn't before. Beer will form a crust, and is sticky. Use distilled water.
Thanks. Figured it out myself... Although I had the device tapped into clear water before and after the test. I used a drop water several times.
Seems to be OK now.
The looks of my friends where phenomenal - worth it!
Speaker Volume after Beer and Rinse -lol
Now that phone is clean , can you easily hear speaker calls outside in medium noise environment?
When playing Music through Speakers, do you notice a lot of vibration in the Body of the phone and lack of bass.
If so ask SONY to check for speakers being "out of phase".
Is this phone louder than all the Samsung Galaxy and Note phones ?
It should be ....
Thanks.

Depends on the faucet, people don't realize that a jet/stream of water can be of a significantly higher level of pressure then submersing the phone in a meter of water. The z1c is rated to withstand a low pressure water stream, most sink faucets will exceed this rating when fully open.

Out of curiosity, what was your solution? No pun intended.
I haven't dunked my phone in beer (yet), but I'm finding the speakerphone volume to be incredibly lower during calls and I haven't done anything (too weird) to it. Is there some kind of setting you found, or did you dunk it into some coffee? What kind of coffee?
Well I repeated the beer challenge the past weekend. It is definitely that you loose sound while it's still wet and due to sugar afterwards. However, you can clean it up easily. Just put a drop of water into the speakers, wait a few minutes and suck it out with a piece of toilet paper. Works fine.
However I am still not completely happy with the volume/sound of both speakers. Because of a lack of comparison and time I did nothing so far. Maybe I'll write Sony after some more testing.
I have an iP 5 from work. However the sound is definitely better and louder during calls. Anybody else compared these two?
Thanks

Xperia Z5 bend in pocket

Hello everybody,
I am a worried owner of a Xperia Z5. I have had it for a little more than a month now.
I have discovered that my phone is bend and it's not the result of a particular accident. It's bend in my jeans pocket. It's my first Sony and i have never had this problem with other brands.
It's bend just where you put in the SD and SIM card. I guess the frame is weak at this spot
Am i the only one with this problem?
Kind regards
I don't have this issue.. I put my Z5 in the front pockets.. Do u put it in the rear pockets?

Sent from my E6653 @ XDA Portal
Considering the place where it's bent and the phone dimension I would say front pocket with 'heads' down or back pocket with 'heads' up and then a quite strong force applied by sitting down and having the pants get tight and thus bending the phone against your leg. A sturdy casing would be good in those situations.
Are you one of those lads who wears those skinny jeans that are designed for girls?

Just ordered my Devilcase, I don't think it will bend with such a bumper.
Yours look not good though.. I would bring it back for warranty if I where u.
Sony won't do an RMA on it. They say this can only happen because of misuse. Guess this was my last Sony

Maybe....but I have never had this kind of issue with another phone. I think I will avoid phones build of only glass and a metalframe. I guess they can't cope with my definition of normal use.
The other phones may be made of soft plastic instead of glass and medals. It happens more often than people think. Instead of a bend some phones it equals a broken screen even when the body is straight as if there was no impact.

ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE IS ALWAYS USER'S FAULT!
I'm sorry, but I've got to agree with Sensination.
The phone didn't bend on its own. It was because you were storing it wrong. Sony has every right to refuse a return.
It's obviously not a widespread issue. Just make sure you store your next device in a better pocket.

You do know that Sony have renforced corners for drop so do you think the frame will bent.. And the glass can't be bent without heated to a certain temperature... And if you want someone to run a bend test please offer your device and for sure someone will do a bend test for you.. This is not iPhone forum people have better things to do here...

Junior member does not (always) mean an illiterate blab with no practical knowledge, mate Play nice
That being said, my Z5P did bend. It's quite usual with large metal phones and enough pressure applied. It was only bent on the Power Button side, so I assume it twisted in my pocket somehow. ( see attachments )
Applied moderate heat to the side (no idea if it helped but it didnt hurt ) and slowly bent it back. There is a very minor deformation of the steel where the bent was, but its all good.
Sony responded quite well to the issue. Advised me to switch off the phone and not charge it due to increased chance of overheating and fire, and told me to bring it to a service so they can inspect the culprit.
I decided not to, since I don't wanna go without this beauty for a second If it keeps happening, I'll take it back tho.
Keep in mind it took an immense amount of force to bend it back, so I am not worried. Its a very rigid phone. Just not immune to force

With enough force you can bend anything... It's a common sense.. I maybe look new to xda forum as I am using taptalk and it takes my Gmail login as I just moved to android few months back...

Just curious, how did you manage to bend the phone? I'm afraid I will bend mine as it is a bit tight in my jeans pocket and if I bend down, I'm afraid I'd break it.

That being said, my Z5P did bend. It's quite usual with large metal phones and enough pressure applied. It was only bent on the Power Button side, so I assume it twisted in my pocket somehow. ( see attachments )
Applied moderate heat to the side (no idea if it helped but it didnt hurt ) and slowly bent it back. There is a very minor deformation of the steel where the bent was, but its all good.
Sony responded quite well to the issue. Advised me to switch off the phone and not charge it due to increased chance of overheating and fire, and told me to bring it to a service so they can inspect the culprit.

Yeah mines bent too even when i have kept it with silk gloves and yeah in the jeans front pocket.. It bends abit no matter what
Maybe it wouldn't bend if using a devilcase aluminium bumper. I use one on my Z5 and just ordered a Z5P (for the 4K) and if I like it more than my Z5 I will order a devilcase for it too.
They are very sturdy and the precise fitting is essential for me.
