Can this be related to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304680 ?
did you find out from where the water entered the mobile? i suspect like most of the cases, it had entered from behind where the back glass was loose due to heating issues.
If you have the device with you can you check if the back plate is loose?

Wow insane! Sony should fix it on warranty! Get in touch with Sony head office in your country. Post it on Facebook. If the white markers are white and u still got the water then surely they have to fix it!

(( Not kidding ))
1- open all port ( like SDcard-Sim-3,5mm-Usb-) all
2- rotate your Z upside down (3,5mm in bottom) :silly:
3- blow up into 3,5mm port
4- some water should be out in your Z
5- Enter your Z to bag contains rice
6- after few days (3-5 days)
7- charge your Z if it not turned on then status i have no idea (Z need some doctors)

LT25i XV Water Resistant

Hello, im a new xv user here, and may 1 ask about the water resistant of the xv? Do you recomended for the first time, to put the device in a bowl of water? Anyone has tried and have problem? I just want feedback, coz its still new. Im abit afraid about it.
Haha it is confirmed water resistant. Placed it underwater and it's okay with the flaps closed if course. The thing is for me, the flaps start being loose.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.
I got my flaps and metal rim replaced twice for free. Just a pain in the rear end to live without a phone for 2 weeks each time.

Yea. At least in Sony Singapore.The funny thing is that they only started fixing my phone after I made a complain over the phone and finished it in 2 hours. Why don't you yell at them to get them to expedite the fixing
thanks for all you reply dude.:good: ill put my device in the water as soon as i get it today! the reason why im bought this device just only for that water resistant since im a biker and the qualcomm chipset. by the way, Aaron_035 do singapore sony center sell the xv charging dock? coz here in malaysia is abit hard to find it.
If you are unsure, you can always put it in a sealable bag first before youput it in the water.
At least if the flaps are insecure that will keep it waterproof

If you want faster go to junction 8, bishan, their Xperia HQ. Keep in mind they will loan you a k 330. Be sure to tell them to finish it in a week or they would take their own sweet time v

Xperoa z water damaged.

Hello all .. I have a problem with my xperia z. I dropped it in pool and got water damaged and stuff. I put it in rice for 5 days. Now the problem is that the power button isnt functioning well. VOLUME UP key opens Snapshot dialogue box which is supposed to be open ny long press power button. Speakers work but they stop after 5 mimutes then ipress volume up button them they start working again. Can any body tell me what exactli is wrong with my XZ ?? Is is the software or hardware.. I think its hardware. I want some good suggestions on what should i do. Thanks in advance guys.

Send it for repair. That is the only course of action for water damage if drying the phone out thoroughly hasn't worked.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
But we dont have sony repair support in out country. So you think its a hardware issue right??

Yes. As I recall from your previous thread about this, you powered the phone up after water got in, so it's highly likely that something is permanently damaged.

I doubt you would want to apy at the rates they charge. When I wanted to replace my screen on my arc they gave me a crazy estimate of over a £100. Just turn phone off open all flaps and leave it to dry for a few weeks.

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use
I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity
I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1
Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....

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.

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!

[Q] Urgent please

you have to search in your local mobile market area ( in your city) where all mobile spare parts shops are located.

doing it at home may not seal the LCD to the body properly. LCD glue is different than silicone. also ZR is waterproof phone so need careful work
