It's dead. Bad luck. Now you can only complain at the service center.

Do one thing wrap the phone with a paper(preferably newspaper)
Keep it below a bulb(not CFL or LED)
Keep it for an hour, just don't keep it too close.
batterie HS
your batterie is HS i think i have an xperia sp hs after water !!! i test with new
batterie is work perfect new !!!
Just wait a while and do what androidtweaker1 said:good:.Keep the flaps open(and remove the sim card/sim tray and the sdcard),it will help with the evaporation.For all u know,it might be a simple short! Don't try to turn it on all the time,if there is water left inside,pushing electricity through soaked chips and circuits will fry them not to mention the battery.
Then if the phone still doesn't work,then its to the sony store for a repair.
Put it in a bag of rice may help

So a little update. I don't know how will it be, because when I'm trying to charge it, it becomes very hot. And it doesn't vibrate anymore when I'm trying to turn it on... Only red light when I'm charging it. I took it for repair, and repairman said that screen of this phone was already changed by previous owner probably. Because it's not fully attached. ( I only realised that after trying it's "waterproofness" ) So... I don't know... I'm very upset with this accident because I payed 252.7$ for this phone... I just have a little hope that mayybeee... one day it will come back to life..
Of course any suggestions are still very appreciated...

Hey, i was taking some under water photos during my weekend trip. All my ports were closed before i put my mobile in the water. Suddenly my camera app stopped working & booted in to safe mode. I was sure it was less than 30mins & as soon as i came out of the water i noticed all my ports changed in to red color. After a few hours the phone stopped working & i tried to draining the water with rice method. It's been 48years still my phone is not turning on.
When i connect it to a pc/charger, it does turn on for few secs with the red led & turns off with 3vibrations.
Nothing works, except that. I guess it is hard bricked. Is there any solution to fix my phone or back my data?
Regards
Let the phone dry just in case there is still water in it, try it after the next day and see what happens.

Update: Got my mobile back from the service center. They told me there was a drop of water behind the power button, that caused the reboot & advised not to take under water photos. Also i had to pay for the service since it doesn't come under warranty.

XZ Waterproofing
Hello bro's, Just do take note that the rubbers on the flaps degrades as used. If one uses the power flap and the earphone flap often, then the waterproofing will be less and less reliable.
Though i have used this quite a number of times under water before 1 meter, i used it while it's still a few months old, but i dare not use it after long use.
Power button, if you want it prolonged, use a software such as SCREEN OFF AND LOCK on play store. It will pro-long the button's maximum time before failure. (MTBF)

Glad I read this thread. I had a feeling that using buttons as a shutter wasn't a good idea whilst underwater. I think Sony need to reiterate this is water RESISTANT, not water proof.

That's a very good point to make, will add that to the OP of my resource thread. Might be worth trying to modify the ports with some tape to give a tighter seal, especially if you're one of these People who insist on doing what's recommended not to or push the boundaries of a devices required limits.
The most amount of water my Z has seen so far is a few splashes of rain and wouldn't dream of sticking it in a glass of water to show off or actually take it into a swimming pool or the sea just because the IP rating says I should in theory be able to.
It's hard to have sympathy for some People.
I think the only way is to bring it down to sony service centre
Hello, I have some big problem with my Xperia Z since yesterday:
The power button stopped working. It doesn't do anything. I can't lock the screen or unlock it. I did not drop the device or something, it just happened.
Sometimes when I press volume up, it acts like the power button and asks if I want to shutdown etc. Also I had the problem that my screen was upside down yesterday. I could not get it good and even changing the launcher did not help. Really strange, as if my sensor was completely going nuts.
Anyway, I am backing up right now, and I will try a factory reset. But this is just strange. I am running 4.2.2.
Anyone an idea what is going on?
Did you recently drop your z in to the water with the flaps open or something?

I recently had it in the shower, but with the flaps closed.
Does it look like water damage?
I've recently had the same problem.
Also took in the shower, but because the backglass was lifted slightly from the case because of the overheating problem, water came inside and messed everything up.
Phone is now being repaired. And they said it is water damage.

I just checked the water detection stickers: USB and headphone are colored pink...
Now it is water-damage, this will cost lots of money and I didn't do anything wrong

Just explain to them that, the flaps were closed but still water got in to the phone.
I got the same button failure when water went in during shower. Got a replacement from Sony.
I have sent it for repair. Not to the default repair center in the Netherlands but to another company which is specialized in repairs too. Cleaning the device costs 20 Euro. There is a chance other components will be broken too after opening/cleaning, but they will try their best.
I have chosen this option instead of returning to the shop/Sony. That because the devices in the Netherlands are sent to a company called Dynafix. Although they have 'fix' in their name their reputation is that they do not fix phones. They sent you big bills for unfixed phones. Mine has waterdamage and colored stickers anyway, so I already knew for 99% chance that I will have the phone returned unrepaired and have to pay a lot of money just for them to see the colored stickers. Or the chance that they will repair it but that it can cost more than 300 euro (they say they swap a lot of components and charge you a lot)...
I will update when I have my Xperia Z back.

Good luck. Yes I understand. Service center folks are far from being considerate, atleast here in India. They lack knowledge and it's hard to reason with them.
Hello,
After submerging the phone under water it seems that the power button is pressed all the time.
Did anyone have this issue? Did the button start to work after a few hours?
I will try to dry it up....
It seems that all the new phones have issues. (Just switched from HTC One)

Update:
They have 'repaired' my Xperia Z. They swapped the mainboard. It did cost €235...
But I haven't been able to use my device anymore. When they gave my device back I noticed the following things:
- proximity sensor is not working
- notification led is not working anymore
- light sensor is not working anymore
(all those functions worked before I brought the device to them)
I went back to the store and told them about these problems. They said: for 35 euros we might be to fix this.
They tried but where not able to fix. I have not paid these 35 euros.
When I came home I accepted my loss of these sensors and I started installing my device and apps.
But there are even more problems!
- At a random time my device switches off, even if battery is full;
- Sometimes I can boot;
- Sometimes it even doesn't boot... Only wipe with Flashtool or through recovery can get the device booting again.
So I have paid an extra €235 and I can still throw it in the bin....
I think I am going to contact Sony...

You should have contacted Sony in first hand. Now that the phone has been messed up by a third company, they can claim that the warranty is voided!

It fell into water. There are many things that could have been damaged, if it isn't working then there isn't anything you can do.
Just get her a new 20$ dumb-phone.

Jup i was thinking it was lost forever but it really worked after that
The first thing you should avoid after such accident is avoiding charging your phone..
as it may harm your mother board
Recently i bought the Sony Xperia Z4.. as you guys know it has a good perferences as i thought..
The thing is after about 2 months i thought about trying the waterproof function which sony company assumed that the device supports.. so i turned it off, washed it under fresh clean water for about 20 sec., dryed it out then i turned it on.. and guess what !! My half screen went black, the screen lights begin to go low.. so i turned it off and dryed it even more and left it away for some time then i switched it on once again and the screen lights were obviously not working anymore !! I could hardly see that it was actually on !! I turned off once again and left it for a while and now when i turn on (using the power on button and the volume button) it vibrates three times the the screen lighta goes crazy !!! On and off over and over then it goes dark and onfe again i can hardly see the screen.. but looks like there is water under the surface.. and it seems like the touch isn't workin i still dont know !!
What can i do ?? Can you guys please help ??
Im sorry for making it such a long story but i really feel bad about it..

Thanks for your respond man but the thing is 1st. I bought it without a warranty because we don't have a sony support here where i live.. 2nd. Even if i bought it from any phone shop with a warranty it's just means nothing here where i live xD they will just tell you it is your fault anyway.. so the warranty means nothing.. 3rd. I did a little research about it and guess what ?! The warranty is void if it was watter damaged !! That what sony company said..
I put it in the rice since y.day still didn't switch it on.. i don't know what to do, im afraid if i opened the back cover something wrong would happen and it will be even worse.. cuz im thinkin about moving the battery and drying it with the hair dryer and the vacum but im still afraid to do so..:crying:
Fact of the matter is my phone was waterdamaged 3 weeks ago on vacation. I came back to the shop which firstly refused me, but they will do this for customers who dont know stuff. What you need to do is state your case and since they know the phone is waterproof by certification they are obliged to help you. Basically you are forcing their hand at this point. Many shops will try to bull**** you but as soon as you wave around the fact that the phone is IP classed to hold in water to 1.5m then they will grant you a checkup and ultimately if you are found right in your complaints then you will get a new one.
I know cuz I did this and got my phone back 2 days ago.

Well, mateer of a fact i contacted Sony Support by E-mail and they said that they were sorry and that should noy happened and they were surprised !! :silly: oh my !!
I laughed my A** out.. they said i should take it to Service Center but as long as they don't have a Service Center in my country they offered other countries
Hell yeah !! I will fly to another cojntry just to get my phone fixed ?!??! Can anybody believe this !! And sure they asked me for the IMEI..
The shop said he sold it without a warranty and he is not responssible cuz it's Sony Co. Fault not his..

Actually i did that since 2 days ago and it's still there..
Well, let's get to the fact.. the phone can get switched on now, the screen lights aint blinking but..
The screen is a bit grey, the touch buttons down the screen isn't working, there is water under the surface all around and sometimes it goes crazy and starts touching it self
So i turned it off and shoved it back into the rice..
Hope it works :crying:
