[Q] Waterproof for only 30 minutes? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone explain to me why Xperia Z is waterproof for only up to 30 minutes? I mean, if it can be in water for 30 minutes without any damage, why can't it be more? What happens after 30 minutes?

I think it will likely survive beyond 30 minutes, but the level 7 liquid IP tests only certify to 30min for 1m submersion. I think the 30min time is just stated due to the certification.

Saw a video in youtube n the xs was submerged for an hour... No problems watsoever

Indeed.
I think they note 30 min just for the certification and to be safe.
If you would leave it under water for lets say a year, at some point water will crawl inside.
Ofcourse a year is a LOT compared to 30 min, just saying it will fail to be water proof at some point.
So asking yourself what will happen if you put it under water for longer than 30 min?
It will probably still work fine depending on how long you kept it under, however the no one can garantee it will.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Thank you for your answers
i just don't understand this - if the water can't enter the device in first 30 minutes, why can it enter after 30 minutes (or 2 days) have passed?
I understand the depth limitation - but I don't see what changes if device is 30 or 500 minutes submerged in the water.

Because you gave such a wonderful answer I added your answer in my topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37878615&postcount=3

That's the way the certification works.
When the device is submerged, water will slowly start to penetrate the seals. The deeper the water or higher the pressure, the faster the water gets in. The better the seals, the slower the water will get in.
So, if your XZ is under 1 m of water, you should have at least 30 minutes before enough water gets in to damage it. If it's just in a shallow puddle, you should have a lot longer. If you go scuba diving, it won't last very long.

If you have a watch that is water resistant to 15m and you take it to 30m and breaks, (depth is not that much different) simple it is not under warranty. It is tested, warranted and certified at 15m.
In simple terms if you phone last 2 years under water at less than one meter then great, but if it starts to leak after 30 minutes then don't complain.
It is rating standard used as for water resisting electronic equipment. So Sony has tested it, warranted it and Certified as per IP7 standards, anything outside these guidlines at your own risk. I am sure you could take it below 1m also but not much, but it is not certified for that

What a loaded question: it is the certification process that states 30 minutes, so it is for 30 minutes.
The Cetrification per IP7 standards states that, so so be it. You like to do it longer, probably nothing would happen, but if it does, you're in trouble.

[Q] 38 to 42 degree temp is normal for z1 ?

Hello friends...I just bought my Xperia z1 yesterday. I have updated it to 2.257 , with normal usage of 10-15 mins continuously the temp rises to around 33-35 and when i use Camera for around 5-10 mins even, temp rise to around 40 degree and with a game like subway surfers the temp rises to 42-43 degree ... 43 was the highest i saw so far...
Is this ok with this phone ? Or should i go to service center ?
I am using the premium cover i got with the phone, with that on I don't really feel the hotness in my hands but just want to be sure that this is normal heat up with this phone and my phone is not bad..
Also, when the phone is at 43 degree, should i stop using it and allow it to cool ? or should i keep playing the games , use the camera and all...
Any application that can help reduce the heating ? and any better camera app u can suggest ?
Also, please don't suggest to root..I do not want to void the warranty but after 1 year I will definitely root the phone and use custom roms then...

what's the ambient temperature, its its under say 18 then yes i would be worried about that temp, if you ambient is say 25 then maybe not as much of an issue, check the back is the back cover (secured by tape) separating?
If its hot to the touch I would RMA that device

Ambient temp is around 25 only...the back cover just realized is separating from the top end camera side only.
I heard from some friend that If i go to the customer service regarding this heat , they will only say that it is normal as there is no warning message being popped in the phone about overheating.
And at sonymobile.com every one is saying that this is a normal heat up in z1 and on high gaming this temp will even rise to 50+ and there is still no issue except that the battery will drain faster on such temperature. I don't really understand why such heat up is being considered as normal in this phone...I mean it is heating , i can feel it..there can be some h/w issue arise in future coz of this
The explication for the high temperatures, i think, is because the phone is sealed (water proof and all) and the heat can't be very well dispersed in this case. That's why, on Z, many users complained that their phones overheated so much that the adhesive would loosen up (from the back cover) compromising the sealing proof of the device.

This is not always true. Most phones usually do not use any kind of air cooling. There are no fans or even any channels for air to move through in any phone im familiar with. Some phones (GS4 i think?) now have a water loop to transfer heat to the case more effectively, but they pretty much all just use the case to cool down.
When i first got my Z1 i had charged it to full then began using it right away while it was still warm from charging. After about an hour of running every benchmark i could find i started to use the camera on its max setting for maybe 20min before it said something like "temperature is too high, closing camera" (i didnt check the temp but i was a bit warm lol..). I was plugged in for all this usage so i was putting out near maximum heat.
I wouldn't actually be worried about the phone temp, i think this is just the reality of having this beast of a quad core with the standard (very little) heat dissipation. That said i know the CPU/GPU can handle 60-70C no problem, but i would prefer to keep the battery temp below 50C if possible.. Edit: actually the battery health indicator was reading "overheat" and i was at 39C° according to battery temp. I was playing an online game for about 35min.
It would be cool to have a battery discharge widget to show you how much more power is used when all cores and GPU are running, i think some people would be surprised.
The phone should stay cooler if its not plugged in during usage, i think. Also, i'I've never gotten the phone that hot since and im not trying to keep it cool at all.

I use Current Widget it works fine and has a log to file function:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget
The phone easily draws over 2 Amps during 3DMark, I guess maximum peak current will be around 3 Amps for some scenarios.That is a lot! Current Widget detected a battery voltage if 4,11V which means a power output of around 8 to 10W peak.
This is on the border of what can be passively cooled in this form factor. Actually it's a marvel of engineering to squeeze so much computing power into a smartphone. And you are right, there is no active air cooling in phones, I have never heard of water Cooling in a handset either, do you have a source? Sounds interesting but I can't believe it
I totally agree on the rest if your post though! Don't worry about heat, the device was meant to get hot, this big 3000mAh battery is there for a reason too. I don't know why so many people get crazy over this, Sony does usually know what they are doing and if they think a high temperature limit is fine, it is.
By the way: In the Nexus 5/ Z1 comparison thread the reviewer stated that the N5 got hotter than his Z1. All modern Smartphones do get hot, it is the tradeoff needed for high performance.

Wow 3 amps i wasn't expecting, but that discharge rate would be required to kill it in an hour. Still nuts, they have defiantly pushed the limits of passive cooling here which disappointed me a bit because this will effect the maximum overclock. I don't know what i need the OC for yet, but thankfully i can just drop this phone in some ice water and it should do over 3Ghz no? My mytough4G went from 1Ghz to 2Ghz so we can expect a 100% overclock here too right? (I don't think the battery could even draw power fast enough..)
And water cooled phones amirite? I was really excited at the water cooled phones, but its not a big deal yet. That NEC probably barely runs cooler, and our Z1 would destroy that cooling setup anyways.. Its almost like they need to increase the size of the new devices to dissipate more heat. Although I'm still a fan of microscopic black hole cooling. Yep, a small singularity should do just fine.
So for now, its ice water and a PS3/BT controller lol.

I really liked the black hole part
Yes just filling the heatpipes with water is no real water cooling, but it's nice to see some innovation. I'd rather like to see vapour chamber heatpipes like on modern graphics cards though, but without any heat sink that would useless too.
You are also right with your more size for better cooling theory, it's no wonder that Snapdragon 800 SoCs are just used in 5" and above devices. That's why I am so impressed with the Xperia Z1f (aka Z1 mini). If I am correctly informed it uses the same SoC as the big Z1 in a 4,3" chassis. That's an amazing feat and the first time a mini variant will be as fast as the big one (unlike S4 mini and One mini). But it will get throttled a lot more than our big Z1s I guess.
Edit: When going for some serious overclocks I would advise you to turn down display brightness completely, that should give you some 0,3 to 0,5 Amps of extra current

I understand your POV but as long as it is affecting my phone, it's integrity and one of the main features for which i bought it with a premium price and a safety measure has to kick in in order to stay everything "ok" like "temperature is too high, closing camera", I'm not so sure about giving it a pass so easily.

However if you leave your device in the sun (car dash or w.e) it can get much hotter then it would from normal operation and when you try to wake the device it will usually immediately power down saying "high temp" or something. This is often the only way you would see this message imo. Pretty much all androids do this, so it really isn't specific to the Z1. An apple device would do the same thing etc.
Absolutely, no arguing.
But I don't agree when this happens while I'm playing a game, while (maybe) other apps are running in the background (multitasking), while wifi or 3g on, with more than 50% brightness level (not to mention maybe plugged to a power supply also to keep the battery from draining). In this particular case, on my old HTC One X, the overheating issue caused 2 burns on my phone's display (but that's another story) and i have them ever since.
So have you actually experienced any shut downs or warnings because of heat? Or do you just want to make sure that there's no problem?
I have been playing a lot if games and used the camera, so far everything seems stable, I have had no problems yet.
Mine reached 60 yesterday while playing dead trigger 2 but the CPU still scaled up to 2.15 so I guess the phone can take up to 65/70 degrees but my hands can't...

Dropped my beloved in water

I can't imagine she still works after this! She was under there first for three seconds, but when i tried to rescue her i accidently dropped her one more time. So she was under there for even three more seconds.
After she had dried up under a 50 degrees Celsius fan for a couple of hours she actually worked flawlessly.
I pulled here apart and it seems she is completely dry on the inside.
Hope she stays in this working condition for the future also.
Anybody else experienced this with their beloved ones? What have you done to bring her back to life?

screen flashed and music playing, so took battery apart
surprisingly after drying for 30 min. it was working flawlessly no problems at all:victory:
so I tried 1 more experiment, this time charger plugged in music playing.
screen flashed led went crazy. Again took battery out, but this time put it in the preheated oven.
again it worked perfectly, checked inside all parts were intact no damage
I did make a video I'll see if I can find it to upload
I wont suggest trying this but rest a sure that if it drops in water it'll still be OK:good:

PSA: Dont ruin your batterys!

Lithium Ion Batterys DO NOT like to be charged at HIGH Temperatures
​After doing a heavy intensive CPU App, or playing a game and the back of the phone is getting really hot, let your phone cool off before charging
I played Plants VS zombies for an hour and the battery temps gradually rose to around 68C which is 154.4F
Let it cool before charging, use a battery temp app such as "Battery" to monitor temps
I learned the hard way on my HTC One X after letting it overheat and then charging it while it was overheating it reduced the capacity of the battery ALOT and got the Red light while flashing when charging witch means the battery has overheated
Also
Your Phone does not have any active cooling system for the CPU, it has Passive cooling witch uses the environment's temperature to bring down the temperature of the internal cpu
Your PC has Active Cooling (Heatsink + Fan)
The nexus 5 has passive cooling (Heatsink only)
same goes with just casual wireless charging. be careful
A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature

I can't care less. It has 1 year warranty.
Odd, Is it really monitoring the battery temps? it seems to be linked to the CPU temp and the warm part is located on where the CPU is at and not the battery.

Explain my dead HTC One X battery? Exactly not everything works as it should be.
http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/slyp087/slyp087.pdf
if the temp gets high enough the chip cannot react fast enough
or if the charge falls too low lets say 2 volts it cannot charge again because it isn't a safe charging voltage
I think he was actually saying that the charging circuit wouldn't allow the battery to charge at high temperatures. I cannot verify that but since the charging circuit prevents over draw and over charge by cutting "power" it makes sense

It will cut off after reaching extremes. You don't want it reaching those extremes ever though or it WILL take it's toll on the battery.
Battery's don't like heat. They don't like extreme cold either.
Don't think the battery will ever get to 110F as the phone will shut down/not charge at that temperature until it goes down. Therefore, you probably couldn't spoil the battery if you tried with this fail safe implemented.
With someone's personal testimony about a fried phone, I can offer my testimony that I used a wireless charger on my Nexus 4 + played games until hot + charged whenever I wanted to and the phone, which my GF uses now, isn't any worse for wear.
Especially because the Nexus 5 has a Li-Po (lithium-polymer) and not a lithium-Ion battery

Hi
These batteries don't like heat full stop, they are like perishable foods and degrade quicker the warmer they are, regardless of being charged or not. This is why laptop batteries do not do well when the laptop is used mostly on the mains, nothing to do with constant top up charging, it is because the battery is constantly held in the warmth of the running laptop all day and age much quicker.
Lithium batteries do not work well in extreme cold, but this isn't permanent and they return to normal when back to room temperature, and lithium batteries are held refrigerated for storage, just like a perishable food.
Regardless of being used or not, the battery will lose a considerable amount of its capacity just by ageing over a year or two. Given the various safety controls built in, it is fairly difficult to cause much more damage than time alone will cause, so you might as well just use and abuse the battery anyway, especially as most people will be replacing the phone after a couple of years.
Regards
Phil

i dont think you know what the fail safe temperature is

there's a thread with someone's n5 getting to 45C(113F) while playing games and without shutting down, and he lives in Canada. imagine what temp it would be at in any reasonably warm climate
110F is not safe if you want to preserve the longevity of your battery. period.

Not irrelevant... Mine overheated while attached to my laptop and the led screen blew up. It developed a black bubble at the bottom near the home button.

my point is the charging circuit only controls for overcharge with is extremely dangerous

Just another example of Google cutting costs to put out this cheapo piece of %$))$!
But actually I did manage to really cook my phone! I set it (plugged in!) in a south-facing window to shoot time-lapse and oh-so-cleverly the sun bright winter sun was streaming through the thermal glass, and on to the silky black phone and...physics happened! About 15 minutes in my insta-greenhouse and I heard a strange whimpering 'ding!' from the phone -- when next I looked it had shut itself down. On reboot Dashclock was reporting "Overheat" "Not charging", and temp of 60+ degrees (can't remember the exact number but it might have been as high as 68!) Panic & a few minutes in the freezer brought it back to normal.
Take from that what you will:
1. It really dislikes being treated like a tomato seedling.
2. Idiot user didn't understand the 'greenhouse effect"
3. The phone does stop charging and goes into shutdown when things get too hot.
Before you judge too harshly, I want to point out the most obvious factor; a truly earth-shatteringly great phone would have come packed with the necessary technology to protect the phone in such cases -- maybe that would be a fan, or maybe it would be better served with a liquid cooling system, but whatever it should have, clearly Google cut corners yet again!

And the size and weight of the phone would grow enormously. Are you kidding? And what phone offered anywhere by anyone does what you suggest?

I'm not the smallest guy on the planet, but can you imagine the size of a the pair of cargo shorts/pants that would be needed to carry a liquid cooled smartphone? Massive!! lol
Fwiw, my N5 routinely gets to 107-111f when doing some intensive things with other background intensive things running as well (i.e. banning trolls on my phone both through Tapatalk and Dolphin while listening to a streaming content on mobile wireless and sitting in the sun soaking up some Vitamin D).
Oh ya!!

It ain't about the pants, it's about Google being too damn cheap to deliver truer-than-true state-of-the-state-of-the-art! Come to think of it, if Google had the balls to fill those pants we'd have the phone we really deserve!
68 Celsius is about 154 Fahrenheit. But as I said, because it was actually being cooked at the time.

[Q] X gets hot while charging? normal?

today is the 4th day with my Moto X...and i'm a little worried about my phone because of my battery issues.
the first day i got my phone, it came with 50% of charge and after some usage it got down to 14% but then, suddenly it dropped to 3%. I have some experience with this issue in my previous android phone, so i just tried a charge cycle and it is pretty much ok now.
BUT THEN
yesterday, my wifi was on and i was charging my phone and it went really hot, according to Antutu Benchmark the temperature was 45.1°C (113.18°F)... i quickly unplugged the phone, and it cooled down within 3 mins..
now today morning,
i made the phone shut down itself by draining its battery, kept on charge, i was not ussing it, only wifi was on and the temprature went 44°C (the charge was around 30-40%).. i left the phone as it is.. and then when the phone charged up to 92% it got better (37°C)
IS THIS ALL NORMAL? DO YOU GUYS FACE THIS?
if not, i'll have to replace this, so please help...
apart from this, i noticed that the device runs for a pretty long time at 1% charge
My phone definitely gets warm when charging. I don't have any apps to tell me the exact temperature, but it doesn't scare me. 45 °C is far below what the electronics can handle, and I wouldn't be concerned, it is well inside normal operating range in my opinion.
My battery is currently 102°f on network surfing the net unplugged. I've seen it as high as 113° and have not had any issues with the battery. I'm still getting 24+ hours between charges.

have you guys seen your X go as hot as 54°C??
its a moth with my Moto X, and it gets hot REALLY EASILY, like do a little bit video recording or take some photo spheres or maybe just play candy crush while charging it goes 48°C
and once... i kept a lot of files for upload on drive.. and it was on charge... nothing else...i kept the phone aside...and within 10mins it was hard to hold.. 54°C
i am seriously worried.. but not willing to go for a replacement, since the service in my country is too bad.. any help? :crying:

New phone gets hot in the beginning. Mine did and now it doesn't.Also avoid using your phone while charging , IT damages the battery .

Batteries naturally degrade over time. That simply speeds up the process slightly (light tasks) or slightly more (gaming). I've done it on all my 7 smartphones (including my first from 2011) and all the stock OEM batteries are working to this day.
I've even gamed heavily (when I enjoyed those things..) on my S2 i9100 and iphone 4s and both those phones get awesome battery life to this day. The S2 was even left on a shelf in the garage over an entire winter lol.
It's just the word damages could misguide people so I wanted to clarify.
But charging temperature can vary between two identical smartphones. My first iphone 5 was rather cool to the touch while charging where as the warranty replacement I got (dust under the lens, they swapped it for a new one) I got tends to be warm and even slightly uncomfortable to hold while using the device moderately and charging at the same time (same charger). It's just variance in manufacturing. No two processors are alike, no two batteries are alike.
thanks for your reply everyone... i guess i'll have to live with it..
maybe i'll just avoid using my phone while charging..

Temperature on my oneplus 3t

Hello I've been with a 3plus oneplus three days and I feel like it gets very hot. Then, I give you some photos of your temperature at rest. Using it rises up to 50 degrees easily.
I notice it gets very hot around the camera area.
It is normal? Are these values ​​normal?
Considering the performance of the phone and your skin temperature around 37 degrees Celsius, it's doing a good job keeping a max of just 8 degrees over body temp. ?
Especially considering normal CPU temps on desktop computers maxing out somwhere around 80-100 degress with passive cooling ?

Hahaha, thank you, is that I'm a little new in the subject, I stay more calm knowing that the temperature is adequate. What would be a limit temperature?

Well, since it's designed for you holding the phone in your hand, instead of mounted on a motherboard with a huge copper cooler on top, temperatures above 50 degrees can feel a bit sweaty (unless your in a polar region or Swedish winter, in case it's just nice and warm on your hands ?).
Ambient temperature and load plays the biggest roles when it comes to phone temperature.
Hahahaha, okey bro, understood, thank you very much, you are a crack, lol
I had heating issues today for the first time. Phone in pocket, locked.
Had to take it out.

Probably some app of yours that went haywire causing heat up.

I hope so...it was very unnerving! I had to take it out, reboot and let it sit for an hour or so.
It's happened about four or five times before, each time when I was carrying other phones so I thought perhaps there's something trying to communicate between them (either NFC or Nearby devices) and checked them all.
This time though it was the only phone I was carrying!
Anyway, love the phone and next update I'll refresh the full software. It's just that it got SO hot....!!
Let's see.
