[Q] Xperia Z back plate making strange noise (right corner down, where the speaker)

Hello guys,
I just have the Z for a few days, and today I received my Roxfit bumper, when I was putting it on my Z I felt something strange, the phone make some strange noise when I put some pressure in the left corner down of the back plate while holding the phone in the opposite corner in the screen.
Someone with the same noise? Is this normal?
I'm just worried because some users have reported that the back plate of their Z are getting loose.

Did you drop your phone before?
I never did and I have strange noise when I tap top left of the back ( left side of the camera )

No I never dropped the phone.
I just hope water won't come in the phone... And if it gets worse I will send it to Sony.
Those kind of things are very strange.

I tried to put the phone in the water, and no problem. but I'll keep in mind, if it get worse I will send it back to Sony, but first i need to wait my 8X to come back from the reparation..

Few doubts regarding XZ design,body,etc etc..

Hi friends, I bought black Xperia Z recently and I am loving it
I have lil doubts
1) I dont like cases. So anyone have faced any scratches on lens when case was not using and was kept on flat surfaces?
2) Does removing of flaps for charging everyday affects water resistance property?
3) Does the phone gets scratches when case was not used when you take it out of jeans every time?
Any help is appreciated
Thank You

Have been using it for like 4 months plus and no scratches on the lens. I didn't use any casing though. But at the top side corner of the phone just beside the headphone flap, the rubber thingy came off a bit when I dropped it once. And removing of flaps a lot will make the flap loose. Mine wouldn't close properly now. Many suggests to use a dock for charging.

But I took out the flaps a lot. To charge and transfer data,to use for USB tethering when I I haven't got my WiFi activated yet.

My main concern is results after frequent putting in and taking out of the jeans pocket.. I noticed some hairline scratches on screen but I do have screen guard on it.. It means body can also get scratched where the body is exposed and not covered by screen guard.
Any recommendations on cases? Normal case or flip case? I know it depends on person to person. Just wanna know what ppl normally use with xz

Just fix the screen guards that are provided in the box..cases are just failsafes if u drop ur phone accidentally..even if any scratches occur,u can always change the screenguard later and the frequent removal of flaps doesn't affect the water resistance much,just don't forget to close the flaps after using them..just don't drop ur xz..enjoy

[Q] Silver ring around the lock button came off

hi everyone, I've had my xperia z1 around a month now and I'm loving it, but just today the silver ring around the lock button has fallen off. I'll probably get it reattached at a phone shop but I just want to know whether the water proofing is affected in its current state. Thanks

this JUST happened to me aswell. Does anyone know if it affects the waterproofness of the phone or is it no biggy?

Can you also post a pic of how does the button looks without the ring.

I'm guessing that the ring is just glued from factory. In that case it seems like it's esthetic. On the Xperia V behind the physical button is the actual button well isolated. So I don't think it the waterproof is gone. But check with Sony to be absolutely safe.

I saw many users complaining about lose it, unbelievable. I will go to replace it a soon as you can and even if it's an esthetic thing I will not risk to put it under water. Just to be sure.

Xperia z AUX cover broke

Hi the rubber surrounding the AUX cover has broken off and the AUX port constantly comes loose, and obviously the phones not Waterproof anymore, is there any possible way to fix this? like replace the cover flap, been searching around and cant seem to find anything.

Bring your phone to Sony service center maybe?

If you want it in percentage, then I'd say it will be around 0.25%
0.00001% will the screen crack without a reason.
Just make sure you have a screen protector and/or a case. I've got a case which protects 90% of the phone (only the sides are open and i've got a glass screen protector. So I'm not afraid AT ALL! when my phone falls.

I'll get screen protectors and cases, but, Google: Xperia Z screen Crack

Hi,
I got my Xperia Z1 Compact yesterday. I even left the original screen protector on the device (untill I get the clear screen protector). And I put a Case-Mate Tough Case on the phone. So its safe I would say.
Within 24 hrs (10 of which were sleeping hours) I noticed a crack in the screen. The phone just lies on the table getting charged.
I contacted the retailer, and as I'm writing this message, I'm waiting for their answer. Anything less then new phone will statisfy me.
The phone hasn't actually been used, exept for a few whatsapps, and 3 calls.....
So, they say it is a great phone.....it is, but with cracking screens i don't know. As a matter of fact, I searched for Z1 Compact problems, but didn't find the self cracking screen issue's.....

Mine cracked from being carried in my pocket with case and screen protector. I think Sony is just inconsistent with build quality I would get something from another manufacturer even though I really liked the Z.
