When I tab with my index finger to the upper right corner I can hear that the glass is not fixed plane. Can anyone of you confirm that??
Every time I pull down the pull down menu I hear this annoying click noise telling me I have a bad build quality. Unfortunately that won't be a reason to send it to Sony for fixing it.

Do you think that's enough for sending it back?? The only thing that could be a problem about it is that maybe it is not water proof anymore..
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Best thing to do is ring them and tell them the problem and that you want it sorted, and yes if the glass is not on properly then maybe it won't be waterproof, I think Sony guarantee that so you could have a case for returning it

It's probably the camera that you hear making the noise.
I concur, the camera could be the sound.

Just curious, is the camera lose or why would it make noise?
The lenses of the focus aperture are not fixed and have some space to move when the camera is not in use. That's producing this clicking noise.

I believe its the camera! It comprises of many lenses. I can replicate the same sound by tapping my iphone and of course my Z1 as well. Don't fret! I'd suggest you to go to a nearby mobile showroom and try the same on of the Z1 demo models. Try it on an iphone as well.
Cheers!

Yes, and yes.
But most people probably won't realise it because it's very subtle.
As long as your glas cover does not show any flex when you squeeze it I think you are fine.

Recently noticed a slight buzzing sound coming from just behind the Xperia logo on the back of the Z when you knock on it (or place it on a table). When I asked the guys at the Sony store, it turns out that all the Xperia Z models there all have that buzz when you knock on it. Can anyone else confirm if they've got this too?

After reading you post I tried knocking on the back at the center but no, I don't hear any buzzing sound
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
Really? It's not very loud so if you hit the back with your fingernails, it's almost inaudible, but if you use the meat of your fingers, it becomes distinctive. I hope it's not just my country that gets these ones...

I tried a couple time with harder impact and I think I now understand what you were talking about. It's a buzzing sound indeed, but mine is quite minimal,(almost like you have to listen to it extremely carefully) I would say those are the sounds from the glass and the thing whatever it is contacting with.
My phone is naked without any case or shield, but I never hear these buzzing sounds ever when I put the phone on the table.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
Ah yeah, that's the sort of thing mine is giving off, although mine buzzes when I put it on a table. Must be a design flaw on Xperia Z models or something
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I put the phone close to my ears and hit the screen with my fingers with a fair amount of strength. No buzzing whatsoever.
It seems to be occurring nearer to the camera lens than the Xperia logo. Where did you get yours, and when was it manufactured?

Beating the sh*t out of mine ... didn't hear any buzzing sound but now my glass is broken ...... sorry just kidding I just hear a "tick" which comes from the cameralens i assume.

Oh actually that would make sense. It does seem like something around the camera lens is loose, so that could possibly be the cause...
Seems like there are certain ones which do have a loose camera lens and some that don't. Does anyone know if they would exchange mine for a new one if I can prove that it's a bit of a manufacturing flaw? Mine buzzes quite a lot and it's driving me crazy...
I think that the powerbutton makes the sound. Maybe it is a little bit loose?
Nah it's definitely coming from around the camera

Well actually this is correcly designed. The cameralens is kind of "loose" because of the "focus" functionality.
Just found it a bit strange as I've never seen (or heard rather) camera lenses that have moved around within itself...

It's the autofocus. Absolutely normal, all phones have this.
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

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?
Seeing how Nexus devices are somewhat more prone to defects than others (especially the 7 line?), how have your brand new Nexus 5s fared now that some of you have had the chance to play with it a little?
The power button is jiggly/wobbly and makes an audible 'clicky' sound when I tap on the screen near it or shake the device.
oh no here we go with the rattle noises

The buttons are ceramic, and a bit more weighty than the vinyl/rubber/plastic on other phones. I plan on a Diztronic case anyway, which softens the buttons/push action and quiets the rattles.

Any movement of the phone, not just a deliberate shake.
If anyone else has a nexus 5 and could weigh in on this thread it would be great. Just to find out if most peoples are the same and put this to bed early. Either its a one off fault or its just the way its supposed to be.

Honestly I have the device and it makes such a tiny wobble and noise that we can call this device a success: if all you can pick out is that tiny nit pick from anything you can possibly find then you're just looking for problems.
I got nothing else. Battery is good, camera is good, phone feels fantastic in my hands, no software bugs, no weird earpiece buzz from n4, no multi touch issues, GPS works, Bluetooth works, anything else? I don't have USB otg to test...

Mine has pretty poor back light wash out at angles over 30 degrees or so. Its not strictly a poor viewing angle because there is no colour shift. Other than that it seems fine, no rattling, no obvious bugs.

Can you confirm that if you hold the power and volume buttons in place, then shake the phone, that the rattle goes away?
If it's still present then the rattle is most likely the camera module - my S3 has a similar rattle.
Upon further inspection yes my Nexus 5 power button does 'rattle' but its such a small niggle that I will ignore it, simply put if I tap (firmly!) the top right of the screen I can hear the rattle of the power button but thats it, no real backlight bleed nor any dead pixels battery seems pretty damn good and the earpiece is brilliant quality, need to check the mic mind.

Hello,
Just curious , on the back of my xperia Z , to the right of the camera lense there is a little hole
i thought at first there was glass over it , but seems to actually be a hole
anyone know what's up with this
It is a secondary microphone for back camera.

It's the microphone for noise cancelling during calls (and also in video recording)
So I recently got to try to take pictures with my phone underwater.... But one problem I came upon is that once my screen touches the water, it goes berserk and basically exits the camera app. I know I'm suppose to use the physical camera button but I can't even do that if the phone exits the camera app. How are people able to take videos and pictures under water???

Yes. this is stupud. They make a water proof phone but you cannot use the phone when its wet. Thats why the new mini-app has been released.its called touch block.

I'm not sure what else you may be expecting. The phone can't tell the difference between your finger and water. That's why there's a hardware camera button....
Also, you'll notice that if there is water on the screen and you turn the screen off then back on, it learns to ignore that water and the touch works well. Obviously this doesn't work underwater or with water constantly falling on the phone.
