[Q] Help!

Hi guys
My friend has a galaxy note.It fell in water any got dead.He took it to SSC.They checked it and came to know that it fell in water and said that it cant be repaired under warranty
They said that about 5 parts(motherboard,camera lens,....) were damaged and it costs about Rs20000(about 370 USD)
We had another SSC here and said him to try his luck there
So,Is there any way to get it repaired under warranty
What should he say them when they ask what happened??
I think paying Rs20000 for an old note is not a good idea

probably .. leave it for a few days so that all traces of water is gone.. then try ur luck
i have heard that there are sensors for checking water damage..

Thanks for the reply
But it actually fell in water about a week ago and he took it to the service center yesterday
Still they were able to trace it

If its not a salt water then we have 80% possible to work the device. Keep the device in rice bag without battery for a week

NFC sticker

My NFC sticker became scratchy and ugly.I was thinking of removing it.
Anyone did this?
Sent from my C6603

I took mine off straight away, I dont think it has a use other than letting you know it has nfc. It came off pretty easy. Pretty much fell off.

I think Sony should have etched the NFC logo in the same way as the Xperia logo...

Thanks for the tip. The sticker became ugly after only 2 days. Nice to read that I could take it off. The back looks a lot better without.

I really don't understand why sony puts those ugly stickers on the back. Ok, it has NFC, we got it
Maybe they thought it was too damn sexy without those?

I think it's better then embedding the nfc logo into the phone.

Same reason why every company thinks it's necessary to put all those stickers on laptops in front of the keyboard... Very annoying for sure!

+10, yep I though this had something to do with the workings of NFC, because it is hardly a sticker . When and if I remove the rear screen protector I will remove it.

No. The NFC unit is built into the phone, removing the sticker doesn't cause any problems.

Yes you are right! NFC has a pretty low range than Bluetooth and placing it at the right spot should trigger the beam, slight movements can cause connection termination (i mean even a slight movement) so it's appropriate to show people where the chip is actually placed so you need not touch everywhere and see. That's what for the sticker is and after you know where it's placed, you can remove it safely.. I did too, no probs in that!

I'm glad they didn't, the NFC logo is one of the worst logos ever. I would have been very unhappy if I couldn't remove it

Hahaha wtf, for about 2 months I used to think that the NFC sticker on the back was the actual NFC chip and I was panicking because it kept getting scratched, then just about 5 minutes ago it sort of moved to an angle and I was like 'wtf, pretty sure a chip isn't meant to move like that'. Then I knocked it with my nail and it just fell off. Now I feel like an idiot haha, for the whole time I was doing the best I could to take care of it, now I've realized I've spent 2 months looking after a sticker...

Mist on the mirror of camera

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?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

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

Crack/Line on Screen

Hi,
I just bought my Sony Xperia Z1 two days ago and everything's been great. I love it! Feels great to hold, pictures are great when shot in manual mode, looks great, etc. But, while taking pictures in my room, I noticed a white line on the edge of the screen right next to the volume rocker. I thought it was the picture but it turns out that it wasn't. This definitely was not here when I first turned the phone on so now I'm scared that the line is actually a crack and may worsen over time. And no, it's never been bumped into anything.

Well sorry for it happened same with me and I got my phone replaced thanks to ADP and it looks the same phone I sent for replacement...

Showered, swam, snorkeled, taken lots of underwater pictures. Can't really use it for much in the shower though, as the water drops all act as touches on the screen

Yes, I showered it, soaped it, shampoo it, took underwater pics, took it underwater
And nothing went wrong
Safely take your phone underwater
If anything goes wrong, I personally replace my Z1 by yours!!

Perfect for a quick porn in the shower

Here is my shoot with Xperia Z1 underwater (Sea water).
Those are my nephew excited to have underwater picture with my phone
There is no damage on my phone, no malfunction, everything is perfect. Camera is not fogged and etc.
I wash it in clear water after using it in sea, and you only need to let it dry about 20minutes to speaker gets dry so i can play music.
You can listen music moment you pull it out of water, but its dimmed because of water.

Took mine in the pool, works perfect no issues. I was super nervous but glad I did. Love this phone.

I took this one [and a lot more ] last sunday... phone is perfect!

Put mine in a bowl of water first and then in the shower works great no issues what's so ever

If the break is just on the screen and it's just on the surface, it's still water proof
For example, using knife instead of pen, cracks your screen but it's still water proof
But if the screen is broken, for example fell from 10th floor, so it's no more water proof
Sorry for my bad English and bad telling
I wish you got my mean
Otherwise, I can tell you in another way

I wouldn't risk it with your screen like that tbh...
That's just my opinion though

I wouldn't risk it either. If water enters the phone and it breaks, it won't be covered by the warranty as Sony would blame it on the cracked screen and they would propably be right!
