Quite costly it seems. You may find them cheaper elsewhere. I only looked on that website as I know they definitely sell parts for the Z.

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...

[Q] small opening on the bottom edge of the phone

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

Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
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?

they need 2 copies of the warranty. sadly the international version doesn't have one :/ i don't know why such a expensive phone doesn't have a warranty
Try another charger and cable.

Sony told me they also can go by manufacturer date. And since the phone isn't even a year on the market yet and Sony offers 2 years warranty u should be able to sent it in for repair. At least in Germany it is like that.

Were you updated? If you were still on .350, maybe it SOD'd
Btw, why would you buy the phone W/O Warranty?
Sony offers 2 years warranty, so whereever you bought it - hustled you and hustled you good.
I got it as a present and I must have thrown the receipt for it but no biggie since I am already in Sonys system and still have a year and 10 months warranty in it even without the receipt because they go by the date of manufacturing. What makes sense because u can see when it was made and if it isn't over Sonys warranty then that isn't an issue.

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.

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.

[Q] Broken Xperia SP digitizer - replacement guide

Hello,
I broke my xperia sp digitizer and I could find several replacement parts on ebay, although no disassebly guide seem to be available.
Has any of you ever replaced it successfully?
I wonder how to separate the screen from the actual digitizer.
Many thanks
Think the digitizer come as unit already stuck together

you mean the digitizer and it plastic, or the digitizer and the screen.
Are the digitizer and the screen separated?
I mean screen and digitizer come stuck together you can't separate.
I know with nexus7 it is this way, and from what I searched on Google you can't get them as separates units.

that means that the digitizers on ebay are not good, since they should be a unique unit (digitizer+screen)?
for example item: 271210909026
on ebay
I couldn't find the whole screen+digitizer
Looks like I have learnt something new...sorry I have given you wrong info.

You can separate the screen from the digitizer(touch glass). They are not combined together.
If your SP digitizer broken, you can choose to replace the the touch glass or the touch glass with front housing. You don't need to replace a new screen.
For mostly phones, the screen and digitizer are glued together. But Xperia SP is different.
So what " zolaisugly" said is wrong.
Here is a guide: http://youtu.be/CVannSZ-Pck
It's not in English but it's clear enough
Warning: you can take everything out of the phone with ease but if you want to get to the screen you need to unscrew the small pentalobe screws on the side bezel of the phone
