Hi everyone, I just got my M4 Aqua from service and I have noticed flash bleed around back pannel when using flash. I do not remember whether the bleed was there in the first place or after the phone service. Since the phone is waterproof, I'm a little worried that the water will get into it. Can someone check his M4 Aqua?
No problems bro, all phones are like that. I washed my phone dozens of times already, water won't get into it.

Hi All,
Got mine today after a long battle with the M8 and its many problems. . .
I have noticed mine has a gap in the top right like many others have but has anyone been in for a waterproof test yet?
In all honestly i'm just curious to know rather then it being a problem for me as I dont have the desire to be dipping into water or swim with it.
It doesnt bother me although I know its not nice having it there but again it doesnt look as bad as the way the original HTC One had gaps open round the metal.
So yep anyone concerned or even taken it to a Sony centre?
Cheers
Mine doesn't have any gap. Well not that I can see. I will not risking trying to dip in in water. Even though it is supposed to be waterproof I am not sure they will cover it.

yeah i dont have the desire as I say to be dipping into water . .its seems more ppl have the gap then others . ..
coming from the M8 with multiple scuffs and marks on the metal out the box its really pleasing that its just a gap i have as it doesnt look bad but still the waterproof protection and dust may still be affected by this.
plus I plan to put a case on mine in the end so the gap will be covered up anyway . .I know I shudnt ave to cover it but Im never gonna be carrying a glass phone naked!
Where did you order yours? Maybe you can get it exchanged and hope to get one of the newer batches?
It was phone's 4 u in UK so not the best place to get phone's in my experience so far.. I have been advised to go into store so staff can have a look...

Has it ever been proven that the 'gap' is actually a problem? People seem to get them replaced without ever testing, could be all for nothing?

I believe due to the scarcity of Sony stores in certain areas that people just decide to not bother testing and just sent it back.
Don't know if this is related but anyone who has the gap issue, is the camera lens slightly off centre too? Mine is (although it doesn't affect the camera quality).
I'm not sure what I should do because I've only recently realised I have the very minute gap at the top right but I got my phone on the 22nd of April through mobiles.co.uk so I wonder if I can simply go to a carphone warehouse shop to discuss it or if I have to do it through mobile.co.uk.

But i don't think this small gap become cause of water damage!
i mean this gap is in surface of phone and it s not like hole that connect outside to inside of phone!
so it s just ugly...
:good:
I have the gap issue, there is a slight gap on the front top right & a more noticeable one on the front bottom left, I didn't spot it at first but a mate that was admiring the phone did as he spotted a small bit of tobacco trapped between the gap & the bezel.

Alright, I thought **** it, put my phone under water with the small gap, everything was fine no problems.
As i mentioned i did ask if ppl had taken to sony fot testing .. It bothers me as some ppl say they dont have gaps and its more noticeable because of the left side bring flush with the galss

Yeah I know what you mean, I want to go to a Sony Centre but nearest one to me is Leeds and I don't like going into Leeds at the best of times but I will go not next week but the week after and have a chat with them.
Im going back back into shop tomorrow to check their other Z2 stock and see how they r.. If theres no gaps then its getting exchange... Thought i cud live with it but it makes the screen at top look angled as left top side is fine and right side drops down

What about your camera lens? Is it off centre too?
Seems fine the camera just gap.. If other side had a gap i honestly think id be ok bout it as they wud match.. But at minute it looks silly

Hi!
I bought a z2 from mediamarkt. but im in Portugal now. so i asked to a cousin to send me photos to see if there is the gap issue with my unit. can you compare with a good device to see if i need to change mine?
regards.

yes make sure covers are all closed:]
A while back I did some looking around in the Smartwatch2 threads and seen posts about bathing and showering while wearing it. There was some speculations that soapy water may have different properties allowing it to penetrate the seals, and that steam may be able to make its way in easier as it is a vapor.
Water goes in mine through the speaker. Still works like a champ! It drowns the music volume and I have to give it a view minutes to get back out. I think I poked the membrane or something but it's still visibly there.

Just be aware that some people have had issues with the "waterproofness", resulting in a non-functioning device and zero warranty.
I would honestly record the whole test on video in case something goes wrong. That way you'll have proof that it was a hardware defect that killed your Ultra and not stupidity.

and remember that the tests are on static water, not a shower, water with out surfactants (read soaps), and clean seals with NO dust on them
Thanks everyone, today i tested it i also recorded it wih my old phone, it Works fine

I've been using my Xperia Z Ultra for 8 months but on Thursday the screen crack even though I did not dropped it. I was wearing baggy short pants around knee length and put it inside my side pocket. Honestly speaking i have no idea what happened. The front glass is smooth so i think it's an internal damage, no scratch/crack on the back glass also. Anyone had the same problem before? Should i try my luck and go to the service centre hoping that they will fix it for free? *heres a pic*h.ttp://i.imgur.com/5d68FlI.jpg

Worth. Why? Coz sony has problems with xz and xz1 and their breaking screens coz their screens are to big (physics is breaking it) and out xzu has similar screen, but bigger screen, so its more possible that screen will break "itself"

You can try, it looks like some people get them fixed ok, others not
a few months back my brother bought a sony xperia z2.. he was very happy. after a few days and ONE test if it was waterproof there was water in the camera and inside the phone. he went to the phone store and asked for help.. the phone was sent to 'what the store owner said was sony' after 5 weeks of waiting he got it back. one week later he took the phone out of his pocket with the screen against his leg and the back of the phone facing away from his leg. i was with him the hole day.. he didnt bump his legg what so ever
here was something we didn't get... on top of the screen, where the screen meets the edge there was crack that led until an inch under the upper egde of his phone.. i myself had a crack in my screen once but the phone still worked... in this case it was different.. the phone wouldn't work.. you could still switch on off but the display wasn't working.. he went back to the phone store once again but the owner of the store was clearly making up story's and said he would make a few calls. he didn't ..
can someone give my brother some tips on how to handle this sort of things and or how to get a new phone from son or something because we are really out of idea's
kind regards,

Hi guys,
This is my 2nd XZ1 from Amazon and have a weird problem with the display, not sure if it's common!
Lines shows up whenever I rub/glide my thumb on the screen up and down at moderate speed!
Please check attached pics
Any ideas?

I have a similar problem on my xz1 blue buyed from Amazon.
I have return the xz1 blue and I bought the black color that currently has no problems.
In blue color I also had touch problems
Well that sucks! So you are saying its a problem with the blue color! I'm just gonna send it back to Amazon and get the XZ1 Compact instead.

I believe that some of XZ1 screen does suffer from serious issues for me it was yellowish screen and now this, I think Sony should check what they are selling
Guess what! Just received XZ1 compact in blue color and that phone has the exact same problem! Sony is using some low quality screens on these two phones! The XZ premium I had got zero problems! So disappointed...

Guys I have this exact problem on my X compact
Im not sure about what you said about gliding up and down,
Ive been using my phone for more than a year now and never seen this problem untill today
The exact horizontal lines showed up when the phone was on charging and then faded out after some minutes
Any ideas?
I have the exact same issue currently toying the idea of getting rid of it because it's only 3 weeks old *sigh*
Hi got the same issue, is this common or
I have the same issue. It happens every single day and almost every time I push down on the screen. Please report this to Sony Customer Support; it seems to be a widespread issue. I will link this forum post in my report to them. Do the same in your ticket please.
i have noticed this issue on my phone in the first 2 weeks, but after that it's gone. The issue was also temporarily solved by restarting the phone.
Mine seems to be worse when the phone is cold

Do you also see a grid all over the screen?
Yes. Looks like we can see digitizer, this grey lines... but if you mean pixel location as,, grid'' then no.
Does anyone knows if there are many manufacturer for xz1 screen ?
As said in other thread, I personnaly do not have this on mine but had this on one of my previous xz5.
If there is different screen... How to check/determine which one is to share with potential buyers ?
I have not seen this problem. I have a black XZ1 dual with a glass screen protector on it.
I have had every color of the XZ1 and I never saw the issue. One of my phones had a weird ghost touch problem so I returned that one but over all they have been fairly problem free.
I unlocked bootloader and have same problem.
Will sony fix it free?
