I just got my xperia z last week from Sony and I love everything about it. I just have a question; is it normal to have a slight yellowish tint at the bottome of the screen?
No,go replace it.

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering will it go away over time? Will the calibration app fix this issue?

I would do what gm007 recommends. Replace it. Had the yellow tint problem on the xperia s. Related to overheating behind the screen. Got it replaced by Sony.

Definitely not normal for the Xperia Z screen. You better send it back asap to have the highest chance of a direct swap.
Thanks guys I setup a RMA with sonystyle. Hopefully everything will go well
Dears,
just curious, does anyone have some idea abt what the small opening at the bottom is intended for? not sure how to describe what i mean, so pls see the enclosed picture.
I dont think it does anything, if you look close enough its just nothing.
and the paper says nothing about it: Xperia Z Parts Name

I always just assumed it was a noise cancelling microphone to filter background noise in calls.

The noise cancelling microphone is the little hole next to the camera, btw I always had the same question about this little thing on the bottom

Hmm is one of those things which is probably the most simplest
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
the answer is simple
If you guys review all the side design
the bottom is the only side where both ends is ambidextrous (or something to that effect)
with each end have the same roundness
the sides and top have this plates that can only it a certain way,
one side is rounded while the other is flat
the bottom, without the key and hole
would mean possibility of reversal/wrongly stuck onto the unit
thus the hole (not exactly a hole,more like a key and hole)
is for installation process
I always assumed it was for this purpose? (Lanyard)

Theyre talking about a different hole, see picture in 1st few posts
So? Any conclusions?
I think i once heard that this is the hole they use to inject/remove pressure into the phone to sort of create a vacume, one of the things that make is dust/water proof?
Mornin'! (at least here in PL)
Yesterday when i was in jacuzzi i decided to take some underwater pictures using my Z. Ive heared it isnt designed to be submerged, though of course SONY promotes it as it does. Ok but lets move to a problem. After first picture taken accuracy gone bad, the water was clean but pictures of even close localised things were blurred. I remember someone here on forum showed his underwater pictures and they were great actually. Mine were not worth a penny... After bathing i had swab the water all of my device and then i saw the mist on the interior site of mirror of camera. Now its already gone but had been there for few houres. Camera still works perfect after mist had gone, no problems there, however mist is an evidence of water coming somehow through. All of the indicators are white, so its not where the problem comes from. So my question is are you guys facing with such a thing after bathing, is it normal or is it as i said evidence of malfunction? Next question if i bought my Z from polish network Play does it mean warranty is ensured only by them or i can take it to SONY Center and they can fix up this issue too?

Some people are def. confused. XZ was never designed as underwater camera. Keep it safe and out of water.

I hope so, anyway Im going to take it under warranty to check whether everything is ok. And back to my question: can I take it directly to SONY Center rather than taking it to local network provider who sold me my phone?

Probably. Along as you have proof of purchase. But if there's nothing wrong theres nothing they are going to find. And probably charge you for wasting their time

Hi guys
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a light leak in the bottom right corner of my HTC One. I'm sure it's leaking from near the Home button key. It seems as if the adhesive has come of or something, because it didn't happen since the beginning. It's visible only when the capacitive keys light up and the background in dark. The leak sprays on the screen for almost an inch!
I'm wondering how serious is this problem? What should I do?
I've attached a couple of pictures, they're not the best ones but thats what I could do with an iPhone 4.

it can also worsen in time, mine had minimum bleed now it is just too obvious at night. it's been more than 4 months now..

That is exactly what I'm worried about. It's its much worse than it looks..
Why didn't you replace the phone? Maybe you can disable the soft key light?

I decided it doesn't bother me that much and soft key light comes in handy especially at night ; I am only worried that the speaker moved a little bit away from the screen, curious how it'll perform in time..

For what it's worth, I came across an app - Soft Buttons Light that permanently enables or disables the soft key lights; It did the trick for me. The best part is, it doesn't require root.

This would be exactly the solution I'm looking for. Too bad it doesn't work with the latest version of the stock ROM anymore

Why dont you try skinned stock ROMs.. Such as Viper.. It gives the user an option to alter the light of the soft keys

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Just installed a rooted stock ROM and a different app (Capacitive Buttons) to disable my button lights. Works just fine now.
The reason I would've preferred an app that doesn't require root is that I enjoy receiving OTA updates, so initially I didn't want to root. But all is well now, so whatever

I was just about to post a new thread, but saw this one.
Anyway, I also have this light leakage issue. It's coming from the bottom right corner of the screen where the screen meets the speaker cover. Kinda difficult to describe, but the fact that I spotted it and am now aware of it bugs me.
I'm way past my 14 days, so the only option is probably to send it to HTC.

You can do that. Just make sure the replacement you get doesn't have any other major flaw like the camera purple tint

If your camera is fine, I would suggest that you don't send in your phone for repairs. You can either learn to live with it or disable them completely. Ending up with a bad camera or getting stuck in a repair circle is worse!

Screen bleed issues
Having read some of the comments and issues with the M7 HTC One, please make use of these suggestions, if you
have a problem like i have,
1. The bleed issues and severity of these issues is 'handset specific' BUT is know by HTC and most retailers in the UK
(Carphone Warehouse, Phones 4U and all the UK carriers, ie, EE shops, etc).
2. I had this issue & can be resolved (in some or all instances by flashing a halo, or light Rom) This however is not ideal
for several reasons and obviously is not a fix as it invalidates your warranty if rooted and returned to the manufacturer or
retailer.
TAKE ACTION.
1. Return your handset and ask for a replacement, yes, they nearly all have some problems but after 30 mins of sifting through
a dozen or so handsets i found one that was "slightly better" than my first handset but not ideal.
2. Buy a Samsung, Sony or any other device if this matter is not resolved at, point of sale...
It's not the best BUT you do have rights and a choice, great handset, but not for everyone !!!!

Well, some sort of workaround... Not so much a fix.
There's an app called ScreenAdjuster from the play store which allows you to adjust colors a bit, turn blue up a bit until you like the result (to about 6 or 7 I believe).
so it is a software problem not a hardware problem and there is hope for future fix by sony?

Seems to be a software issue, Mine turn yellow after the first update. Screen adjuster is a workaround in the mean time. My nexus had the same issue. Its more of a colour temperature thing. Most people seem to like a cooler look to their screen.
should i go for replacement under doa without fear of getting more defected one
or wait for update on issue?

I have this problem also. I call to sony center they already confirm is a hardware issue and I requested to change, by monday they will change for me. My opinion you better change a new device from them because the yellow hue really make you feel angry that you pay so much and you still getting this problem.
Even I had talk with customer center dey admitted it as hardware issue and guaranteed me replaced phone won't.have it.but dey stated after I get changed phone.I.wnt be able to doa it in case of.prob is.it.true?

Have complained a lot here like others, but Sony freaks will not admit they have bad screens.

Yes.
The one on the picture is the last one not returned.
Still got it until the new one arrives.
Update :
Is there an easy way for her to do a screen shot of the information you want ?
She was unsure where to find it.
I don't know and can't tell her. I swapped mine for the Note because they told us that the screen was that bad.
But now we know better.
I guess you want it for a reference because we got the help we need.

As I write it's not mine and it's a mobile that are returned.
It's not that exciting with a imei that's out of service?
Another thing about that.
If it so secret with imei.
Why can anyone get imei number from the boxes in the stores?
I can walk in a store and get imei numbers from a lot of boxes anytime.
Why isn't the numbers hidden?
