It's all good it's a protection against the water. Sony says that you need to let it dry for 3 hours.
It will work fine around that time.

As this thread is about speakers, while listening to either a movie or music, the sound is only coming out the bottom speaker for me, is there a setting somewhere I need?
There is only 1 speaker, which is at the bottom.

Ah ok thanks, I must remember to hold my phone upside down then when someone calls, so I can actually hear what they are saying! lol
Mine isn't!
My Sony Xperia Z got "some" water flushed into it, now speaker is very very low (hardly heared on full volume).
8 Hours , have passed still no change?
I think something is wrong other than water what could it be? It didn't fall, hit something hard (all elegant handling)
Advise me people!

Return it to wherever you bought it from. Call Google if you ordered from play store.

Was your device very hot before this happened? I've noticed on mine the bottom right gets very hot. I assume this is where the gpu is.

Have you tried a hard reset (hold down power button for like 20 seconds) and do a factory default to rule out software glitch?

This sort of thing happens when a new device is released. Unfortunately it comes with the territory. Just look at pretty much any iPhone ever released...

Hi, everything was normal with my phone.. suddenly the speakers sound got very low even when I put it on the highest level and has a very bad quality. I put the phone in the water and after that I realized it. but im not sure if it happened after or before I put the phone in the water. might it be a ROM problem ? please help I bought the phone 2 days ago
You need to let the speaker dry out completely before using it. The sound should come back to normal when it's dry.

At least a few days, preferably a week with all flaps open and DO NOT turn the phone on during that time.
If you're very very lucky, you will have avoided any permanent damage from corrosion or shorting out of components.

I don't know if you did any damage or not. All I know is that water and powered up electronic components are not a good combination.
Like I said, you can only hope you have been lucky and escaped without damaging the phone.

Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.
nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Fair enough I guess.
I did the very same with my Nexus 4. Using tiny bits of tissue. Dunno why everyone is crying about it, its a very simple fix!
Thanks mate
I'm getting my N5 tomorrow, and living in a country not supported by Google Play Devices, it's nice to know that I can fix stuff like that myself
Stick it in a case, that should do it.

I have a case for it that I got off ebay, a clear tpu gel one. It muffles the sound but it is still there, plus I really like the feel of the phone and in the case you lose that.

The more Im reading, the creepier it gets for me Only because I'm gonna make someone buy the phone for me and send it, so there would be no chance of return if I saw any kind of defects.

Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.
What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?
I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?

I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I'm a little worried about screen rigidity. After reading the other post about pressing the screen and seeing a rainbow and then seeing a YouTube video about a popping sound when you press on the screen. Hope Sony didn't go cheap here. Everything else I like about the phone. I have yet to take delivery of mine

I'd definitely send the phone for repair before the glass spontaneously cracks
As you know I had same problem as you re power button not working but my phone won't revive I've now sent it in for repair.
I tried you screen click thing and got no clicking
same problem here
I'm having the same problem. Could you please let me know if it's a manufacture problem or not. Thank you in advance. and hopefully it's not.

I think it is, it definitely shouldn't be doing that. But I've decided to leave it be. I've ordered some tempered glass screen protectors - should stiffen up the screen a bit among other benefits.

I've ordered a nillkin tempered glass + back screen protector as well. I'm waiting for it to be delivered in two weeks at most.
Anyways thanks for your answer. This problem, do you know if it happens to all device or just some? I have already tried putting it in water and it worked out just fine. Thanks again.
Seems like they all do this sound
I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.
I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.
So yeah it looks like it's normal...
Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.
Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.

They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.
I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.
I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.
