Hello I bought my one 2 weeks ago, and had been noticing some defects.
They are minor, and I really don't care that much... but it's funny how everyone said that the quality is better then the iphones...not mine.
Bougth mine in the store... here are some pics:
The sim slot looks like someone raped it, even if I was the first one to use it...

The top plate of the speaker is put on so clumsy... there is a bum in the middle of the white field and the right part behind the front plate is sharp and has a gap...
The phone is rocking when put face down... seen on the pic... If I force bend it the other way its ok for a hour and then back to this... (This is probably the most wtf thing since this is my most expensive phone and has this defect)
What do you think?
Overall its a great phone cant say that... just the quality is not impressive as it was said...

I only see 2 options:
1- That phone wasn't new when you bought it, even if it was in a sealed box. Pretty easy to seal a box and make it looks like it never had been opened.
2- You have damaged the phone yourself. (I do not think this is the case)
What I know is that it does not look like a new htc one at all. Maybe you got scammed??

Bought the phone from my counties leading mobile provider ... strange....should I write an email to htc or something?
Progress report:
The phone was sent to service the 2nd time...
First time the vibration motor died ( not my fault.. it overheated somehow)
Now the camera stopped focusing...blurry pics
Examle:
What im trying to say is that my phone has some serius quality problems becase i think that's not gonna be the last thing that will die on this phone...

my phone won't vibrate when it turns on or when receiving texts or calls. even if i switch it to vibrate it won't. if i shake the phone a bit before i make a panel selection i get a click from inside the phone when i select the panel. it's like it wants to work but it won't work all the way. anyone else had this problem? if so how do i fix it? this is frustrating. thanks for any help
EDIT: (just so you don't have to search through the whole thread)
Found out that the problem was HTorch. I used it for only a few minutes on high power and it melted the Led on top of the vibrator motor and locked it down. Heed these words, comrades. Take special care not to use htorch on its bright setting. cheers
if hardreset dont do anything then
i would say that it's a hardware malfuntion
which require service
I thought this title was referring to something else

me too!
There's a thread where someone else had the same problem, more than likely the motor has burnt itself out or the weight/cam has dropped off the end of the shaft (LOL). More than likely a return to SE/your provider to get it fixed.
God you just jinxxed mine! Vibration is dead now. Nothing on calls texts or anything. Even when I go into sound panel to test it doesn't work.
Just done a hard reset and nothing.
Looks like a service job already....

I had the same problem and in the end had to get a replacement.
I sent my X1 to service last week because of the same problem.
christ... that sucks you guys! i'm gonna attempt to open mine up and see if what squidgyb said about the cam falling off the motor might be the case. report back later
what i found is not pretty....

that piece that looks crooked with a yellowish square piece on it shouldn't be crooked. it should only be occupying that blue rectangular space. it seems to have overheated and melted itself out of place. if you look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDurQrRt-Y&feature=related
at 2:26 you see what it should look like on the right side of the camera. it's new resting place is (guess where ) snug on top of the cam and motor. it's locked down. i would just like to know what it is and why or how it overheated. it seems like a simple fix... if i knew where to buy that black plastic thingy that is now melted. i just figured this was some interesting info to share. i really can't go without my phone for however long it would take for them to repair and ship it back to me so if any of you know of a place online that i can buy xperia parts, feel free to post a link. thanks you guys
that's the one...
Good job in finding out what it was. However, I didn't pay good money to fix it myself so it's going back to O2
O2 have no stock and are giving me the 'sometime next week' crap again. Then he said go into a shop and see if they can fix it as it may be software.
Looks like I will re-flash the ROM back to normal and then bring it into a store. Then it's either send off for repair or wait for stock. My Jedi senses are telling me that I am going to kick off very soon....
i thought about what i asked earlier about someone posting a link to buy replacement parts and then i remembered that parts shortage they went through that delayed everything. if sony/htc can't even get the parts they need to make the phones, then how am i supposed to get the extra parts that i need to fix mine lol so despite my impatience, i guess i'll have to send it back
Vodafone or O2 figurine?

best thing really, you don't expect to pay all that amount of money for a phone that is 99% working. This is my first SonyEricsson that I have sent back within 3 weeks for a hardware fault.
mine is an x1i unlocked from the uk and i'm a kid in the u.s. on t-mobile lol. wish i did live there though. that'd sure be swell
really though, these ARE the first on the market so ppl shouldn't expect them to be without their flaws just as with any other high-end item be it phones or game systems. time must be allowed for all the creases to be ironed out.
Good luck figurine lol
And yes I do expect problems and I am not that mad with SE but O2 should be able to support their customers in a reasonable timeframe as we paid good money for them....
that wasn't aimed at you guru... it's these ppl that make a big deal about having to send their phone back within a few weeks of getting it due to hardware or software issues. It's to be expected. they should wait a few months until the bugs are worked out or something
I got my X1 silver back from repair yesterday. I noticed that I have a rattle inside the phone and it sound like it comes from the top area.
I did not have this rattle prior to any of the repairs.
YES, I've had it repaired for crack in the batterycompartment near volume buttons twice!!!
I went back to the repairshop and they said, after disassembling it that it's the camera that rattles and there's nothing they can do about it.
They thought that it might be this way because of the new part.
I asked if they could cushion the camera in anyway so it doesn't rattle, but no..
My question is:
Did your phone rattle after you got it back from the repairshop?
Download a sample of how the rattle sounds when I very gently tap the top part of the phone to my mousepad.
my phone has rattle even with no cracks ;/

I showed a X1 agent how my X1 sounds after repair and before he had heard the rattle he also claimed it was the wheels, but after he said "That sound is not the wheels". He told me to contact the repairshop and the guy at the repairshop said he would get back to me after speaking with the X1 agent.
It's the auto-focus mechanism of the camera. All Xperias make this sound.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3247968&postcount=6
the results so far are quite disturbing
i started getting the rattling sound even though im quite careful with the damn thing.
the x1 looks and feels better than other htc devices but in reality it isnt

In my particular case it's not the autofocus that rattles.
The X1 agent said that it isn't supposed to make that sound that mine does.
Does your rattle sound anything like mine?
It's a very tinny high-pitched rattling, the type made by something very small. It also isn't very loud, I have to listen carefully and do it with my right hand. If I use my left, my watch rattles more loudly.

i have week46,black xperia,and crack just like this.damn.i noticed it right now.and there is no sound at all,about anything.just that crack,phhh
yes! received my phone back earlier in the week. had the vibration repaired. seem to acquired a weird rattling sound!
No noise if I shake my X1.
It's 2008 Week 42...I love it!
It's not very old though. Got it since February..
After having taken my xperia completely apart numerous times, and replacing the housing once, I have to say that it should be entirely fixable. Admittedly it took a while to find though.
The xperia housing is very poorly designed, especially the right side, I have learned after my disasselbies
I was browsing screen protectors for my X1 on the BodyGuardz website, and stumbled upon this image of a "hole" over the camera button:

I automatically thought this would be another speaker, because the first speaker is on the bottom left, and the camera button is the bottom right.
Would this be one of the older/newer X1's, or a model from a different country? Or is it maybe an external microSD slot?

Hmm.. ok thats odd
Maybe its a prototype?
I inspected my x1 and see that up the camera button is a small plastic line that goes all the way as where that speaker is so maybe it was planned first but cancelled later?
I noticed that on my X1 as well.
And I agree -- it might have been previously planned. But I don't see why they would remove something as convenient as dual speakers. Even worse than not having an accelerometer in a device like this.
Very true
When I opened my X1 I noticed there was room for a second speaker. It does look like it was planned and then dropped. I'm not sure but I think the prototypes had an extra button and two speaker holes.

Great find, but my X1 (Singapore) set does not come with the Hole! It's a solid plastic with camera icon.

2. Why would anybody selling SCREEN protectors (in the front!) show the BACKSIDE of a phone???

Aha, so the only other option left is: write to them(!) and ask what phone, where to get and if that is a speaker, or 'Chinese Fake'

If you look at the image, you'd see the skin/protector already applied.
Maybe it's a dummy phone. So they don't need to buy a whole X1 just for advertising their skins.
Hi all,
I recently aquired a used Z1 and wanted to check if it is indeed only "1 Month old".
Is there a possibility to check this? Somewhere in the firmware or with a serial# etc?

Look for this Number at the back side somewhere in smallish letters:-
Inside the micro sd card slot will be a sliding sticker. use your long nails or a pointed screwdriver whatever, to pull it out
14W15 (as an example) that will be 2014 week 15
Thanks
14W04 (on the FCC sticker)
I bought it in September, so it makes sense, thanks for telling me.
Also it had 103 charge cycles on the battery, that also might work with 3 months (~90 days).

Would you be able to provide a photo of the 'sliding sticker'? I'm not finding it.
I'd rather not remove the back plate to view the info sticker unless I really have to.

I wonder why Google didn't show me that info page in the first place when I searched. Heh. Thank you, both, for helping me out on this. I almost hard the darnedest time seeing it.
Looks like this device was built in late week 40 of 2013, although it was only unboxed earlier this month - as mentioned by it's previous owner. Though somehow I doubt that because the left loud speaker was inoperable, unless that was a manufacturing defect...

Sorry for replying this late, but you're somehow mistaken on the left speaker thingy
Our Z1 only has one LOUD-speaker on the bottom righest area. Though you can turn on the upper speaker as well with a mod also available on XDA. I have been using it and the mono quality speakers have become stereo; without a doubt a must thing

My rooted-stock ROM has dontbelive's stereo mod cooked-in, but only the other day did I come to realize what you just mentioned there. I knew what the mod did, though somehow it escaped me why I had it. It can take /considerable/ time for things to click. Silly me!
But hey, good to point that out anyway! I'm sure it'll be notable for future reference
Hello.
So recently got my replacement of note 5 due to screen issue.
This unit is perfect the only problem is my FFC is off centerd towards bottom left.
Its not blocking picture or anything.
Just getting ocd.
So guys should I care? If the ffc is off centerd?
Posting a pic might help.

Doesn't look like its a major thing. You should take it to a Samsung Repair Center... They should be able to fix and give it back.
Well actually its not blocking pictures in anyway.. So debating should i take it for repair or not.

My S3 had a similar problem, but for the back camera. They fixed it in half hour. That's why I suggested taking it repair center.
Oh ya! Rear is actually easier to fix.. For front they will need to replace the screen or. The whole unit. Thats why debaiting.

My experia z1 with exact same issue.. But going strong fr years.
Would love to know other people thoughts as well.
my note 5 looks the same. it seems like the lens they are using causes it to look like off centered. Don't worry about it. Better that then them trying to dissemble the whole phone for one camera that has no defect.

I think you are right.
As the camera is working perfectly fine. It will be horrundus to sent the phone for repair. Just now I have to try controlling my damm ocd.
OCD stinks! Thanks for making me check mine. It is slightly off. Nothing to worry about. My Lumia 1520 rear camera was way off and I never had an issue. It should be fine as long as there is no vignette. ?

Have you seen my front camera pic i attached ? Do you think its way off center? Should i be worried? I know it dosent harm anything just my damm ocd.
It probably won't make difference unless your phone is pointing at an extreme angle to the sun to cause adverse vignette shading. I liken it to that micro scratch on the screen you never noticed until that one day when the sun hit it just right. Now you can't take your eyes off it...LOL!
Well, if it's a $50 phone I wouldn't care but for me it's a $1000+ phone so yeah they can fix/replace it until I get what I paid for....a premium phone.
