Xperia Z headset waterproof lid no longer staying closed

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!!

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.

Hmm sounds your flap has come loose, well the rubber seal that makes the port waterproof may have worn down a little. I dunno if you can get replacements from ebay and what not but my ones fine.
Phones only two weeks old so going to pop to EE shop tomorrow

Return it for warranty! That sh*t should stay in there for more than 3years, well that's what the rep in IFA said in youtube.

Hey buddy I have had a similar issue on my Xperia Z after 6m of usage. Unfortunately what you will have to do is send the phone to Sony service for repair. They will most likely replace the flaps free of charge. I had 2 of mine on Xperia Z replaced no problem. The carrier picked it up free of charge and then they returned it in like a week with brand new flaps.

Loose micro USB jack anyone?

Hi, sorry I'm only just getting the hang of the app.
When my Z1 is plugged in, the micro USB feels quite loose inside the port.
I can easily wriggle it around, it does not feel as secure as the lightning port felt in my iPhone 5.
Could I please get some options on this? Is this normal or is mine starting to break?
I do handle the phone a lot while it is plugged in and the port is definitely in an awkward position once it's plugged in...

I don't have problems with USB port but I ordered magnetic charger cable because I will go crazy if I continue with opening those water protection caps every evening just to charge my device.
So... to save and preserve your port I would recommend that cable.
It cost almost nothing on ebay 5-10$ only

Can I just bump this up? Ideally, I would like as many people as possible, nearly all of us own z1's, to just feel how their charging cables sit inside the port when the USB cable is plugged in,
Does it wriggle round a bit? Does it feel very secure?
Mine is somewhat loose in the port and I'd like to know if this is normal or if mine is breaking....

How annoying for me... And for all of us, because I've had my phone 7 weeks and thought it started off firm...
But it's now loose and that is purely from handling the phone while plugged in. It's on a weird location the port... Awkward.
I got an idea it's not very well fitted... It may be just a one off tho,,,

mine too, i guess because using the phone while pluggined. better use magnetic charging
i might have use my micro USB port less than 15 times, most the time its on magnetic cable and its not loose.

You have many tutorials, just try to google it. You can try with iFixit too.

I did google it, but I need an actual guide. Google shows me how to disconnect the motherboard from the antenna.

After last step disconnect antenna cable from antenna module and replace the module. If you need replace cable first remove that black plastic part that holds it and remove cable gently. :good: :fingers-crossed:
Thanks mate, I rebuilt the xperia yesterday all went well. The antenna had a cover over it then clips so it was easy to bull out, the clips also came out. One thing I did notice was their is a gold/broze tab thing that appears to be for the NFC. It is near the SIM Card tray. You need to take the stip off then use the safe open pry tool to pry it out.

Problems installing EB40 battery

My EB40 arrived today so I went to install it and I'm having several issues. I took off the black casing (the one with 10 black screws) under the back cover to get the battery in, and now it won't snap back down properly around the buttons and card slots so it's nearly impossible to get SD/sim cards in and out and the power button frequently gets stuck, requiring the casing under the back cover to be removed again. Aside from that, my screen no longer registers touch input within about half an inch of the top of the screen.
What components may I have damaged installing the battery that could cause all this?

That part seems to have fixed itself overnight.

Then broke again. It seems to only work properly when both back panels are removed.

Seems I screwed it up somehow... First EB40's ribbon cable snapped. Second one just will not power the phone. Put EB20 back in and now digitizer isn't responding to touch. Can anyone confirm the component marked in the attached image is the digitizer's connector?
