So.. I've read this topic on other website about a user who found his Z1 bent over a night by itself.. And he claims that "no external force was applied".. Well i didn't believe at first.. I'm an engineer and i know that it's not easy to bend a phone like that not even by heat.. Unless the aluminum reaches the melting point.
After a quick search i found similar topics about user who encountered the same issue.. But i didn't really found any other pictures for a bent Z1 unit but the pictures that the first user posted on the Internet.
So.. Did any of you guys had the same problem? That matter really freaked me out as i bought my unit just a week ago and I'm afread that maybe it's going to be bent like that!
Thanks in advance.. And sorry for my bad English!

Well.. If the temperature was under the melting point of any metal.. That particular metal may be deformed.. But after the metal is back to the normal temperature.. It bounces back to it's original shape.. So i thought maybe the aluminum was made by some bad forging or something like that.. I know it's highly unlikely but the pictures and the discussions were terrifying

Maybe.. But the strange thing is, even if it's caused by those reasons, or by applying external force "which is most likely" the glass didn't break! And the metal is terribly deformed.

I know what the problem is and you won't like it - I think your friend's house is haunted by ghosts!!!!
We better call Dean and Sam!
/s
No but seriously I've never heard of anyone bending there phone ever! PLastic phones, metal, alumium, glass etc. not a single time.
i have my z1 since decembeter and belive me i've tried heating it up as best as i could! 3 hours of asphalt 8 a day for weeks... it doesn't get any hotter than that and yet the phone don't bend! so you can rule out the temperature effects...
my theory is that it's just bad manufacturing proccess and the aluminum frame has inner forces that wants to relive itself and bend... only happend in few rare cases.
The reason for bent phones, is in fact quite simple...
- and allmost allways the same...
Just like any other bent phone, eg. the iphone, the Z1 really don´t like to be in a rear pocket at all.
The force from your wight, when you (accidently) sit on a chair is more than enough to bent the phone...
Actually if you have tight pants, and have it in the front pocket, that might also bent the phone when you sit down...
These things might not bent it enough for you to notise the first few times, but then one day you notise it...
Nothing strange in that at all...
- just look at how people use the product...
Pictures is what we need!!!

It is possible for a metal to bend under its own material stress if it has not been machined properly but it only happens in rare cases. My experience with my z1 is a good one, I have accidentally dropped it many times on various surfaces and even my Japanese akita has stood on it! yet it's still in perfect working condition so I don't see how some z1's are bending without intervention.

Wow that looks so odd, this guy is either lying about something or something is really odd and I mean REALLY ODD!
I would've expected something of this happening if it was warm and in your pocket while you were biking for example but the guy said he didn't touch which makes that hypothesis incorrect.
I think warranty would protect that because the phone is not suppose to bend by itself!
I still think something smells a bit fishy about his story!

They'd likely make you pay for a replacement.
Why not just turn the phone off and heat up the part of the phone that has chocolate in it, and let it slowly come back out? You don't need to heat it very much (I'd say use a hair dryer from a good distance away, as too close will heat the phone up too much), just enough to melt the chocolate and wipe it away with a damp cloth.

Two days after I got mine I was sitting at taco cabana eating some nachos. I had my baby on the table face up. I went to take a dip in the cheese with my chip and as soon as I went to bring it up to my mouth a big drop of nacho cheese splashed right onto my speaker grill. I don't even think I hesitated, left my food and rushed out to my truck. I have a small bottle of rubbing alcohol that I spray on my screen and wipe with a microfiber. I tilted my phone it a downward angle and put the spray nozzle right up against it and flushed it out. It was still nice and soft so it did a pretty good job with no side effects. don't know how well it would do for hardened chocolate.

I was too scared to heat up the phone too much and ruin it. Maybe I'll try rubbing alcohol...
Today I dropped my phone for the first time
The so called aluminum frame was instantly damaged and to my surprise it was paint that chipped off.
Underneath there is just a hard kind of plastic.

First of all, greetings to everyone on this forum, this is my first post here.
I have a black Xperia SP (C5303), and have the same problem. Mine dropped on the street from my hand and although was in his leather casing, somehow dropped on the only side without protection. Was very suprised when I saw that 'alumium' frame was very damaged (damage looks like on your phone) from dropping only 1+ m of height inside of a protection case. The good news is that nothing else was damaged.
The phone is great for my needs, but I'm still not convinced with quality of aluminium frame. Probably this is the price of his weight. Before had Samsung Galaxy S Advance and dropped him accidently only once but without even a scratch.
I was very upset with the damage, but because of its black color it is not as visible as on your white model, so for now I won't be searching for a replacement frame... Hopefully won't be dropping him too much.
Greetings.
Yep it happens, even when I am charging, when the charger scratches the coat on the port, the paint will be chipped off.
Luckily I bought a black one, and the problem is not so bad and visible.

Same problem in my Spanish SP... Shouldn't this be solved by Sony? aluminium frame is not made of aluminum, isn´t it?
I have also the same problem on my SP. is it normal?? Sony has to replace our frame with a better one.
I'm very disappointed with this ****ty paintjob, my hpone is barely 1 month old and it already got chipped paint on a several spots on the frame. I thought the frame was aluminium because every review I've read said so.... even if it wasn't aluminium, the paint shouldn't have come off so easily. i read sony used water-based paint, maybe that's why.
Hello everybody, i droped my xperia z1 and now two corners have a dent on the aluminium part. Is this easy to replace? Prices? Any help is apreciated. Thanks on advance
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
Probably you are the richest guy on XDA to think to replace the aluminum frame. Sorry for my answer, I try to be polite but your question is useless. Is not easy at all and probably nobody will do that, it will cost you more than a new phone. You have to keep the phone like that now. To be sure just go to the store when you brought the phone and ask them. The last chance, if you can't live with the aluminum frame scratched, sell it and buy a new one.

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.
I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

Safely take your phone underwater

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!
