Waterproof test - Xperia Z3 Compact General

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.

That phone is dead now. It says waterproof and not beerproof. :laugh:

My view keeps getting mysteriously shifted to the right-hand side of the picture.

I still can't see the phone in the beer.

Well I specifically did not crop the right part of the screen [emoji41]
Reg. speaker volume this was on Saturday. Should be long dry by now. I'll ask Sony directly. Thanks.

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.

really?? running water from a faucet on this phone is a bad idea? I thought that was one of the selling points.

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

So called build quality

A thought just ran through my head in regards to build quality. In short drop a feather & a brick from about chest high & see what happens.

Well, you'll have to understand that build quality can vary greatly when comparing feathers to bricks. Although it would seem that the feather escapes the drop test completely unharmed, you'll notice that there are thousands of micro-fractures from the force of the trauma. The brick, too, will suffer severe cracks and possible breaks, but you'll notice that once you put both subjects under an electon microscope, you'll see that the brick has fewer micro-fractures for a sum of less damage (even though fractured).
That is assuming, of course, a solid surface such as concrete or asphalt.
/Plus, what the heck are you talking about? lol. I want what you're smoking; my stuff doesn't seem that strong.
So our epic's build quality is strong, however its weight doesn't compensate its strength?

Its like comparing titanium and steel,titanium is lighter,yet stronger given you use the same weight not thickness; Say if you had a 1" thick steel wall and a 1" thick titanium wall,the steel wall would be stronger in say a penetration test; But use the same material in weight and that 1" wall of titanium becomes a 3" thick wall,which would easily be stronger then a 1" thick steel wall. But seriously anything lighter will have less impact on case and components on the inside,physics 101,and a feather wouldnt get damaged from a drop on the ground.
Ok Im done thinking...

Dropped mine onto a hard concrete floor about 4 feet. Back popped off, battery popped out, my dad gasped as I said "don't worry, I'm insured" and noticed some minor scuffs/pitting in one corner. I put the phone back together and it's like nothing ever happened.

One weekend a few months ago I had my phone sitting on my desk charging, and it rang right as I was walking by. I grabbed the phone as I walked by so that I could answer it, but hadn't noticed it was plugged in to the wall two feet down.
As I grabbed the phone and turned to walk away, the cord caught, actually bending around a knob on my desk making a tight point and slipping the phone right out of my hands.
'Oh crap' I thought, and I quickly reached back to snatch it, but my lightning reflexes were not expecting the spring-loaded return the charge cable had initiated, and only the tips of my fingers hit the phone... hard... in an upward motion away from me.
In that moment my phone went from a 3 foot free fall to a high speed projection 7 feet above floor level and landing, cable now detached by force, about 15 feet away. On the floor. Which is tile.
As if that wasn't enough to make a bad situation worse, about 2 hours before I had taken my hard case off as well to swap memory cards and had not put the case back on.
In those 5 seconds from fingertips to floor I had already started wondering how good the insurance policy I had paid in advance for was going to be, but when I picked the phone up off the ground it was 100% intact, not even a scratch on it.
A far cry from any previous phones I have dropped, where a drop from 24" (falling off my lap getting out of a car, etc) would result in the phones exploding every loose panel, battery, etc, scuffing the crap out of the plastics. With the size of the screen on this phone I thought for sure if nothing else the screen would blow up, but not even that.
I was close then =P well my Dad own's a 3GS and dropped it off a Scaffold at 25ft. It worked fine, no scratch since it had invisiShield. Also on a lift at about 45ft. the outer rim bended abit though.
i think the epic's pretty well built
I accidentally launched mine from my pocket to about 10 feet away across the bar on my birthday. Fell screen down on a sandy floor. Digitizer shattered, but worked fine. Best Buy replaced the deigitizer. Fine now.
+1 to bestbuys awesome warranty's.

[TOILET AGAIN]Another loser has dropped the SGS right there

Hey, guys. I know there are dozens of threads talking about that, but mine is quite specific. First, the toilet disaster highlights one-to-one:
- phone sitting by the sink, which is close to toilet
- stupid movement and there it was, Skype was on.
- took 3 seconds to ignore all the human dignity I'd had and took the SGS from the water
- removed a crappy silicone cover (this one saved me from a more serious accident) very fast and removed the battery as fast as
- towel, paper-towel, rags
- rice bowl
- youtube video showing disassembly instructions (pretty easy)
- contact cleaner
- rice bowl again
It worked perfectly 24 hours later! Screen on, sound ok... very easy device to open.
Everything was fine until I accidentally hit the voice search and the "sound level meter" didn't move.
Microphone is not working since then. Doesn't work for calls, video with sound, audio note... It works fine with the stock earphone though.
Yes, I restored to factory settings.
Yes, I reflashed and reinstalled the ROM.
When I BLOW (with my mouth) into the mic, nothing happens. But when I SUCK it, the michophone seems to "catch" all the noise. Is this a signal of hope?
I opened it again and sprayed a good contact cleaner, right into the mic. No changes.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!
Phone was placed on the sink with "Skype on". Hmmmm

Oh man grodiest i9000 thread ever.
Did you ever think about to replace the mic?? If ya say its easy to open the phone then you wont have problems to replace the mic I actually dont think its too expansive for ya. So actually its funny to read but I fell with ya. But you shouldnt use skype on the toilet my phone is waiting outside of the bath room, when I'm makin the big deal on the toilet xD
good luck dude
24 hours is way to short to remove water stuck between board and smd components. I think you fired it up to soon. Electronics dont repair themselves, once broken you need to replace parts to get things going again.
Only luck or a wallet can save you now im afraid.
Aww dude no way !!!.
I have had my fair share of phones falling into the loo, Luckily not with my SGS, but with my tocco and my spica.
My tocco survived after leaving it dry on the radiator for a day (on low low temperature)
My spica survived but needed a new screen. which was surprisingly cheap (not genuine part)
Just for my own amusement, Was it a number one or a number two you was doing at the time ?
Funny comments, But serious matter. Take their advice and leave it dry out a little more, You could of made it worse by powering it up. But lets not jump to conclusions just yet,
If drying it out for longer dont work. See if you can make a bit of cash by selling it for parts on ebay or similar.
Oh and is it on a contract ? if so do you have insurance ? or are you close to a renewal ?
Good luck, Hope you get a good outcome

Obviously you will have to mention the water damage.
But some people do buy broken / water damaged stuff.
Might not get a lot of money but it could be better than throwing it in the bin
My phone got drowned in the bottom of bag with a leaking water bottle, similar thing, phone worked but the mic wasn't 100% and the center button did not work at all. Purchased a replacement 3 button membrane they call it off ebay for $25 from UK. The mic is built onto this membrane. Funnily enough button started to work the day before it arrived but I will still replace the membrane just to know the mic is 100% as sometimes it comes across scratchy on the other end.
Hope all goes well for you.

Last time I flooded a phone (lake, beer, boat, he he), I used a food dehydrator. 24 hours in that gadget and all was well. Just last week my brother jumped into the water with his iPhone in the pocket. Same procedure and 24 hours later his phone lives.

Need reassurance!!!!

So I just dropped my beloved vibrant ok the toilet and need reassurance, anyone whos done it before, will it live? So far its working ok, random color spasms and headphone port sounded distorted for a second but stopped when I paused music. It hasnt happened in about 15 minutes and the phone fell about an hour ago and dryed for about 30 minutes. I ran it over with a bike before on accident and it still worked and I love this phone so hopefully it will survive. Anyway worst damage to happen to your phone and it still worked?

Turn off your phone, take out the battery and put it in a bag of rice. Good as new in about 2 hours.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Before you put it in rice, might want to clean the ports and anything that you can access with distilled water. This will hopefully prevent corrosion from rusty, particle ridden toilet water.
I was at an Ace Hardware where they were selling, for five or ten bucks, a plastic bag with some dessicant for wet-phone rescue. Rice or any dessicant should work fine. I would make sure no rice dust gets into phone.
If you have any kind of blower or compressed air, blowing it out gently on no heat first might be a good idea. Also, I would first take phone somewhat apart, remove battery, sim, sdcard. Dry loose parts by hand, then blow out phone, especially all ports and contacts.
Some kind of tuner-cleaner might be an option if needed.
Thanks guys I took the whole phone apart yesterday and air dryed/ blew air in to dry it out and its working great. Only issue is the volume down rocker doesnt work 100% I have to press it a couple times to make it work. Any way to fix that?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
your phone has been through hell haha!
unfortunately there isnt much anyone here can tell you. there are certain things you can do to get as much water out as possible like the rice trick, swabbing all ports, etc. but in the long run, theres really no way of telling if any water got in deep enough to go unnoticed/uncleanable, and actually reached a point where it could cause damage <--- and if thats the case, like Woodrube said, you may experience issues somewhere down the road, even long enough to the point when youve totally forgotten about dropping it in the toilet, and youll say "how come this started happening all of a sudden?"
sucks man, gotta be careful...i went to the bathroom one night to relieve myself, after 1 or 2 drinks , and for some reason i thought that holding my phone in the same hand that was aiming wasnt the worst idea ever......yup, i ended up pissing on my blackberry

Waterproof IP67 Rating questions for the S5

As we all know the S5 is IP67 rated meaning it should withstand up to 1m of water depth for 30min, I have tried simple splash tests so far, and dropping it bucket of water ect... so far no issues
My question is: is it really safe for it to go swimming ect? what should be avoided? and finally is there a case that will allow it to survive underwater to take pictures ect...
...
There are a number of footages made with S4 active undetwater. The standard is the same..so will be no problem IF the usb port is closed and the back cover is OK. I don't know. How the screen will react underwater, maybe all the camera settings must be done before going underwater.

Well until we get a new type of touchscreen technology, we will never be able to use our smart phones under water.
Current touchscreens detect your finger by electrical current. While under water, since water is a great conductor, the touchscreen goes haywire and starts registering random touches.

Here's some things you need to think about, the S5 screen has an oleophobic coating and some liquids can damage/remove that coating.
Swimming pools, salt water = bad!

The phone doesn't detect being submerged, it just can't register touches because the water interferes with the capacitive touch screen.
underwater when pressed power or home button the fingerprint sensor start to detect your finger and after 5-6 seconds they prompt you to type your password.

Rumor about the hole of the earpiece! Waterproof Rumor!

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.

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.
