I was using my phone in the shower and I made sure before that my back cover and my charging port cover was sealed. But during my shower, my music gets fuzzy and the speaker doesn't work very well. Help?

The phone is not waterproof, it is water resitant. It is not meant to purposely get wet. The speakers still get water in them but not in the phone. The purpose of the protection is to not get water inside the phone. Thats what the muffeled sound is. Once the speakers dry out, it will go back to normal. People misunderstand the purpose of the water protection. It is not made so you can take it in the shower and use it because if it was, it would be waterproof. It is made for accidents like if you accidently drop your phone in the toilet or in the dishwater then in that case the phone will not be ruined.

I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

I have a xtreme full body kit on mine. Completely clear and has 100% clarity. You can't tell there is anything on the front or back. Takes a simple wipe of the phone with a cloth and it shines like new. No case needed.

I just installed xtremegaurd front and back. U can definately tell it's there(as far as the feel). I'm thinking about taking the screen protector off. The back I will leave because I am waiting on my atmosphere case which has a clear back to it so I still can see the back and not worry about debris getting behind and rubbing on the anodization.

So this is what's happening. My headset jack lid is not staying closed. After a few seconds it opens itself. I think the paint on the inside got scratched or something cause there isn't any damage to the lid. This makes the phone quite not waterproof. Anybody experienced something similar or knows if this is included in the warranty or if I can fix it. I will post a picture of the lid asap. Thanks in advance.

I think the phone is waterproof you can use the warranty!!
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
The phone is water resistant, not water proof. If that headset seal won't stay closed water WILL get into the xz and the warranty probably wouldn't cover it. Speak to the network you had the phone from or Sony service centre local to you about the port seal.
Check the little rubber seal inside on the flap, mine popped off a tiny amount, but enough to make the cover pop itself open.

So after I got my s5 from att I immediately realized a weird smudge on the left and right side of my front ear speaker. If I clean it with a cloth it disappears and reappears after some light use. Now I am assuming this may be some way the phone protects the speaker from water. However I don't know if other s5 have this as well. It can only be seen on angles while in a good lit room. Looks like finger smudges but doesn't change shape or form only disappears and reappears from wiping it away. Anyone else noticing this or know what it is?

Nothing like that on mine.
That's weird.... I would go back to AT&T and have them replace it, if it bothers you.
I had never noticed, but just looking up at it now I saw them and wiped them away. I guess I'll see if they come back.

Not really a bother to me. You definitely notice it more if you dab a drop of water near it. Other than that it's too high up to notice much.

Showered, swam, snorkeled, taken lots of underwater pictures. Can't really use it for much in the shower though, as the water drops all act as touches on the screen

Yes, I showered it, soaped it, shampoo it, took underwater pics, took it underwater
And nothing went wrong
Safely take your phone underwater
If anything goes wrong, I personally replace my Z1 by yours!!
Perfect for a quick porn in the shower
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!

Why not get a waterproof Bluetooth speaker? I think I saw one on Groupon or somewhere for less than $50... MUCH safer alternative, LOL [emoji6]
Cheers
I've tried it
Well I haven't tried bring it into the shower, BUT after viewing the video with the guy submerging it in water for an hour, I decided to test it out myself and submerged the phone in my sink.
Couple things I've noticed:
1. While the phone is waterproof, the open ports on the phone still take water i.e. headphone, usb, and sim card
2. My phone lost reception shortly after taking it out the water and I panicked, turns out its because the simcard was shorting out due to residual water left in the sim card tray.
3. The fix was as easy as taking the sim card out , drying the card and popping it back in
Conclusion: while the phone is waterproof, I think its only really designed to withstand rain and splashes of water, so it might work in the shower for you but I fear the condensation in the shower is probably not a good thing for the exposed metal in the ports and sim card tray.
Yeah, those cheap $20 suction cup Bluetooth shower speakers are what I recommend. Bought one off eBay for my son. Works like a charm and it was like $18 shipped.
