Hi people!
My Xperia Neo creaks when I press the left side (the side that has no buttons).
-Is it normal?
thank you
Mine too, the left chrome panel can be pushes about .2 mm's to the inside.
Mine too,
I thought I was the only one, 'cuz my aunt has the same phone and it didn't _creak_. Why?!
It does not matter but I just wanted to know if I have a conception problem only on my Neo or not, apparently no.
Same here :/
Cheap ass plastic :/
Same here...but creaks from three sides- left, right and back(very little sound). And this same problem Neo v is facing also. I think its because of the green heart eco friendly thing.

You can easily remove the chrome side panels, so maybe put some glue on it/a little bit of oil and no more creaks.
got same here with my Neo V...
got the same here but placed a small piece of paper between the chrome panel and the phone body ... and no more creaks
Yes i have this problem too and i solve this problem like fire-warrior and now everythink is ok =))

Oh gosh... I just did the same as you, thank you! Bye _creaks_! <3 Well, the volume buttons creaks as well, but, it's different..
I did exactly the same about a week after I got my Neo Every little place that creaked is stuffed with small pieces of paper, result: totally creakfree Neo

This phone is amazing for customisation!

humm.. I dont remember having creak sounds on my neo (altough i use a silicon cover so maybe it isolates the problem ), shouldn´t you guys use something like rubber or electrical tape instead of paper ?

or just glue it with some paper glue (so you can still disassemble it when necessary).
try to remove the back cover, you will find 3 screws at the right side facing your battery...
unscrew it the press the side which causing creaky sound then tight the screw not to much....
i also have that creaky, but when i did this any thing is fine... but no issues about this thing.....
Smart asses
I shall do that xD
Merci
It's such a relief - in a weird way- to know my Neo V isn't the only one making sounds ^_^
But inspite of (un)screwing around with it ,i also got a rubber case for, which also makes a little bit easier pressing the power button and makes it look fancy too!
Odd. I haven't noticed mine creak, especially now that it has it's protective hard plastic cover.
Dropped z2 yday ;/ it was one of my frenchies who jumped on me, phone fall first on screen, than on back glass and finaly landed in dogs water bowl. took it out right away, screen ok, back glass broken and no visible sign of any water entered.
I want to replace the broken glass deck, but to make it so that phone will still be wateproof.. Anyone have any experiance with that? If so, where did you order back glass and did it come with adhesive coating ..?
Thanks for all answers!

I got mine off of eBay. You need the back glass and new adhesive.
Phone won't be as waterproof anymore, but I've dipped my phone in the sink fora few seconds without harm.

Does this come with adhesive and would you know how if we can retain nfc? I heard changing the back you lose NFC...
Thanks.
It comes with adhesive. But nfc antenna must be unglued from the old back glass. To do that you have to heat up the glass very well so it won't break or torn off.
Heat up the old glass i mean.
hey guys , did anyone succeeded to buy original back glass , and after that phone is again waterproof ? cos some people told me that doesnt matter what back cover i buy even with adhesive , the phone wont be waterproof , only sony can repair it for waterproof again. is that true ?
No man
There are adhesive on the back of glass dont mention about it
You could either buy the plate AND the adhesive thingy (comes separately). Or go my way (slightly risky).
The stock glass plate keeps breaking so I took the measurements and made an Aluminium plate. Then drilled camera holes into it and painted it. Then came the tricky part. I stuck the plate into place using regular epoxy (waterproof) adhesive. You have to be very careful while doing the last part because of obvious reasons tho.
The problem with the adhesive thingy that you get to buy (And also the one that Sony uses in the device) is that although its water proof, it isn't heat resistant. and as we all know how Sony phones heat, the adhesive comes off.

This is very creative and I sure as hell would like to try my hand at it. How thick was the aluminum?
I bet your phone becomes hot as an iron when gaming haha, which is good for your internals because of better heat dissipation. Any adverse effects on mobile reception? wifi? bluetooth? guess NFC is gone haha

Well, I given my z2 to friend to replace battery and few days ago I left my phone in silk for 10 minutes, because it was dirty and no issue here.
@MindfreakBS
What are NFC and Cell reception like since installing the aluminium back plate?
Any deterioration in signal strength / call quality / WiFi / Bluetooth?

Aluminium is a millimetre thick. It does get hot, yeah.
Mobile reception is same (Maybe a tad bit lower, idk), wifi bluetooth work fine. NFC still intact. I fixed it onto the plate in position.
@rubiicon59 that should answer your question too
I was planning to post a tutorial. Haven't been able to take out enough time though.
How about a pic...

What if I want to use a 2-mm thick acrylic as my black plate? Is it possible? Because I am afraid that it will exceed the metal frame of the phone and it will ended up looking terrible:crying:
I agree, I think 1.0mm would be more suitable.
At 2mm, you might get an M4 Aqua kind of look hahaha

I believe that if the broken glass was the only issue, and you use a original replacement part, or decent adhesive tape to glue them back together, you'll have no problem. I've had the same issue few weeks ago, replaced the screen and the phone didn't experienced any problem when submerged.
Do anyone now where can I get an official or a good quality back glass for my xperia z2, I broke the original one but i don't want to replace with one without any quality.
buy a nice "glue" to fix that..
well as the tittle said, there is water in my Z2 screen......
I wash my phone on bathroom with cold water like 30 secs... then I dry it using the toal... and later i started to blow air at the buttons, like power, volume and even the speakers. later I saw some kind of transparent spot inside mi screen at the right side of the screen.... The phone works fine camera, speakers, everything is working fine... touchscreen etc. but I dont know what to do with that water. maybe hairdry? rice? what else?
You used blower and push water around side keys with high pressure air into lcd panel.
I work in mobile service center and dismantle too many xperia Z series, these are water resistance, not water proof
Never use blower again, your phone dry water itself after a few hours

well after I dry the phone using the taol, with my mouth I blow some air on the keys..... Now I am using rice and hairdry and almost 90% of the water is gonne, some little white dots are missing....
Hey check if the water damage indicator is still white. I believe it's inside the micro sd card slot and the micro sim slot. If they are still white, go to Sony and tell them that you just wash the phone in tap water for awhile and dried it using a cloth. They should bring in to service it and it should be out pretty soon. Good luck!

I wash my z2 every week, so far no problem
You should nvr use a blower to blow water out as It could actually blow the water deeper into the phone.
Instead use a vacuum cleaner.
Leave your phone in rice for around 3-5 days with all ports open and micro sd card and Sim card taken out. ( that was the amount of time I used when I couldn't turn on my phone at all after dipping into a waterfall ?)
That ought to get all The Water out.
well after about 8 days on trying to fix the phone, I used Hair dryer, rice , etc. there was still some moisture on the screen, like white little dots, so I decided to sell the phone that way.. and now I got a new Z2 black color. now I dont know if I should wash my phone....I am afraid of water now for phones.....
I wash my z2 every time that I go bath
Don't hesitate on this, just when you wash it, don't use blower etc

can you tell us about the presure sensor the phone have? how it works on your phone?
Hi forum. I used my Z2 in salt water on vacation. After, i noticed when i plugged my earphones into the Z2 there was resistance, I wasn't smart enough to realise that the salt water might have created crystals inside. So now I think I may have expanded the metals inside since there is no 'click' when you plug something in. Is there methods of trouble shooting the headphone jack? to check where the problem is. If not I will have no other choice but to replace it, so if anyone has any experience in this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Did you try to wash the salt out with sweet water?

I put a wet (freshwater) cotton bud inside and gently twisted the debris out, I've shined a torch inside to see and it looks relatively clean.

Hi all,
I've had my Z2 for a while now and I love it. However I have ran into a problem with what seems to be with the headphone jack itself. I thought it was my headphones at first as my right earbud stopped working (using the official Sony headphones here). But if I put some pressure a certain way on the jack when it's plugged in, they work. So straight away I thought a dodgy connection inside the jack but after putting the headphones into my pc, both headphones work fine. So it must be the headphone port.
Is there any quick fix for this? Maybe there is a build up of dust/crumbs or god knows what down the port itself and by getting rid of whatever is down there may fix the issue? If so what can I use to clean it?!
Sorry if this has already been said a million times. Not sure if this is a common thing or not. I'd rather not get it repaired if I can help it. But I love my music!!
Cheers in advance
First I would try to clean the sticks that are inside the phone. Then can get dirty after you've put your phone in the water.
If this won't work you may try to move the metal connectors a bit (with a screwdriver) , but be very very careful.

Thanks. Will give that a go. Best apparatus to clean the inside of the port?
Well. That's hard to say. I've seen some professional videos how people clean those ones, however I just used a screwdriver because the green thing was just at the top of the headphone just and I could reach it easily.
Maybe you could try to put some material (with alcohol) on a screwdriver and clean it that way.

I had that same problem too.. I used an earbud and slowly removed the cotton a little at a time until it was a snug fit inside the port.. then I put alcohol on the bud and rubbed it around inside the port with a bit of pressure.. it's been a couple of weeks and haven't had that problem again. :good:

Awesome will give that a go. You had more initiative than me cutting the cotton bud to fit. I didn't think of that when I tried and gave up after realising a cotton bud wouldn't fit. lol.
