Hello guys know if I can use it when swimming in the pool
As fun as it sounds, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm afraid of the odd bumps mine get against metal when I stock up shelves at work.
While I wasn't under water much I was in the pool for about 3 hours last week with my Gear Live and it is no worse for wear! It is IP67 rated much like the S5. I also occasionally shower with it on too! Hope this helps.

I'm sorry I can not translate protests again
Can I use it for one hour of training in the pool
Every time you submerge your watch, there is a chance a water might get inside and you lose you warranty due to water indicator turning red.

..hahah..right..+1..
When in doubt, follow the operating temperature scale of the device.
Take 10 degrees off of each side, and that's your min/max temperature differences in water.
It's in the manual, but strangely enough not on GSMArena or similar sites online..

Clean/clear pool water is OK, but if the water has Chlorine or similar pool chemicals, it can damage the seals and device.
Sea water is a big no-no. Saltwater is horrible to glass and seals, and will eat through it in minutes..
good to know. but what is the point of having a waterproof phone if you cant use it in clorine (commond poolwater there i live)
or sea water.
just asking

i have used Z1 in various places and occasions like in swimming pool, hot tub, and even at the beach in Lake Ontario(no salt of course) without any kind of problems.
I think you'll be okay with swimming pool idea but i don't know about sea water.
cheers.
can pebble stand direct sunlight and sweat for a couple of of hours every day.i will have it on me all the time except when i sleep and bath....it is rated water proof so, occasional dunks should not harm it ???
Yes! You can take a shower with the pebble!
Done with Tapatalk and HTC One!
Actually you should avoid taking hot baths with the Pebble because of the temperature. Sweat, sunlight and swimming are completely okay though.

Hi,
Is anybody else experiencing a waterproofing fail in your Z1? I took it for a swim a few days ago and I just noticed that there's steam inside the camera lens. The vibration motor is also a bit odd. The steam in the camera lens sometimes goes away but then comes back. I tried going for the warranty but they said that it'll take at least 2-4 weeks to get it fixed.
Edit: it also launched the camera app from sleep. Maybe water got into the camera button for the first few hours but everything's fine now. Even the camera. Should i be concerned?
Take a dryer to it or put it in a bag of rice for a day with the flaps open.

thats how long it normally takes..
I have had the same issue with my phone, at first it was fully waterproof but then I sent it back because the ring around the power button fell off, after 15 days I got it back and they fixed all the problems I had BUT then I put it under water for 2 minuter, took it out and couple minutes later the phone started turning itself off and on the whole time. I opened the flaps and everything seemed to be alright, but then I took out the sim card and there was water on it!
The phone was still turning itself on and off so I used the red hard reset button and it shut off the phone for good.. I couldn't get it back to life..
I freaked out and put it on a bag of rice, 2 hours later the phone is still dead.
So then I grabbed a hairdryer, opened all the flaps and started blowing some hot air so it gets dry and it worked!
The next 2 days my camera got foggy like yours whenever I put it in my pocked, but after 2 days it disappeared and it has been working flawlessly ever since then, I dont wanna be without the phone for another 2-3 weeks so I'm not sending it back right now, the main thing is that I can still use it on the rain and while taking a shower, im just not submerging it anymore.
But yeah if you really want it to be fixed send it back, but if you can live without submerging it then I think you are gonna be just fine.
Well its not meant for swimming! That's what it says in your instructions aswell! Don't go swimming with it! It's water resistant, not waterproof!

They clearly have official sony ads with people swimming and taking out pictures using the phone in a river/waterfall area. It is meant to stay under water for a half hour. so technically yes it is meant for swimming
Same here it went after a 4 days and on the left part of the screen it doesn't detect my finger i cannot take the icon on the left page and camera button not working headphone is not functioning properly only one side of the headphone workes. Very disappointed.

Found this from SONY's website:
Go Underwater
A sudden downpour, hard desert winds or falling into the kitchen sink – the waterproof and dust-resistant1 Xperia Z1 will handle it all. With its IP55/IP58 rating, you can even take photos and videos almost 5 feet (1.5 meters) underwater to capture free-floating hairstyles or spectacular belly flops from a low angle1.
*Need to remember it is good for up to only 30 minutes!

Yes, 30 minutes!
And in your manual it says clearly, only clear water, no sea water, no chlorine, no other liquids! Only plain clear water for up to 30 mins.
Find me a pool or sea with only clear water!?
Don't have a go at me about it, it's just as it's written in the manual and the warranty certificate!

OUCH!
It seems strange that SONY advertises the ability of taking pictures under water...probably in a "fresh water lake or pond"?
I was just "confirming" what was indicated from SONY's website...I wasn't taking a direct attack @ you.
Now we can go back and help answer the OP's original issue....

Actually it's waterproof.. Sony on their site says it's waterproof.. IP58 means it's waterproof.. Even in the instructions manual.. They say you can use it in swimming pool because it's waterproof.. Of course you have to close all the ports

I took mine to the aquapark for 2 hours on my holidays. It got foggy because of the temperature. Everything was fine 1-2 days later.
No need to freak out.

Yeah, it's just condensation. Warmer temp inside the phone+cooler water temp=fogginess in the camera lens. Nothing to worry about, it'll go away soon enough.
Then maybe i should sue them for false advertising?
Did you try going for the warranty? That seems like a major issue...
Better go for repair. My friends xperia z motherboard died this way. The water inside the device will never go out until someone opens it and clean it. He had the same problem(He buyed it 500€ and sold 70€), ridiciolous.

My suggestion though is the opening and closing the flaps causes wear and tear thus I bought the Sony dock so I wouldn't be opening them that often

That photo was in a swimming pool? Water with chlorine?
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and I'm trying to be sure if I can take pictures and record videos underwater in a swimming pool.

It doesn't matter, the major danger for the phone can be the Salt water (Ocean), if you go on the beach and make same pictures under water, then after that you should wash the phone under sink.
A condensation on Lens for a waterproof device mean Faulty to me, as the condensation come from water that mean there is a water inside, also that condensation do not do good at all to the health of your phone a long way.
You can make picture every where you want, just be careful.
Check this video of mine Z1.

Hello guys, yes i know i could google that, and did, but i do not figure out whether it is water restistant/proof.
i found this :
http://www.samsung.com/sg/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphone/android-os/SM-V7000ZWAXSP-features
GALAXY Gear is certified IP55*, protected against penetration of dust and water splashes from daily use.
and watched this
/watch?v=sgIQdee4wDI&list=PLA8B9BACF92DA70AB
but i still do not know if it is water prof,
if i can do swimming or go bath with i ?
Which places are demageable(loudspeaker..?) what if i would make waterresistant TESA film on it?
Has Anyone some experinces with water or other influences ?
Please tell me
Thank you and have a awesome life friend !
it is "splash proof" meaning it shouldn't get hurt from occasionally getting a little water on it from sources like walking in a light rain, or washing your hands without submerging it.
It is most defiantly not water proof, do not submerge it under water, it will die.
Yes what Milimbar said. Don't bath, or swim with it.
Some users report the camera fogging up after getting wet.

I accidentally submerged mine while cleaning the fish tank pump. I nearly pooped when I did it but quickly shook off the water and it came out unharmed. Admittedly, I didnt go trying to take pictures afterward but the next day, the camera seemed fine too. That was two months ago and haven't had an issed or another serious accident.

From the OP's link:
GALAXY Gear is certified IP55*, protected against penetration of dust and water splashes from daily use.
* IP55 rating means that device is protected against penetration of dust in quantity to interfere satisfactory operation and harmful ingress of water under test condition of spraying the enclosure from any direction with a stream of water from a standard 6.3mm diameter test nozzle for up to 3 minutes. According to accredited test results by Korea Labouratory Accreditation Scheme, individual results may vary.

This is pretty specific and precise it seems to me. Not sure what the OP is unclear about.
From the IP55 rating, no, it is not suitable for full immersion for any length of time, nor is it protected at any depth.
Rather -- again just from the description above -- you can hit it with a stream of water for minutes at a time, from all different angles, and it will be fine.
IOW, no problem with getting it wet. Yes problem with immersion.

TechSmartt on Youtube who has already released a couple Galaxy S5 drop test videos decided to put the Galaxy S5's water resistance to the ultimate test.
Not wanting to spoil the video but it involves a pool and a washing machine and pure amazment at the end!

Things like this make me want this phone so much more!
this is why i am getting this, i like my Gs4 but the waterproof is a huge bonus
Truly impressed but I have no need for this feature. I'm happy with S4.
Same here, I was astonished when I saw this. Never would have that kind of waterproof capability. Very cool!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I think its safe to say you can submerge the S5 without any worries.
Im waiting on a salt water test since I plan on taking my phone with me when I go to the ocean and it would be great to use it in the water. I think it should be fine as long as I rinse it off with freshwater afterwards.

According to the S5 user manual (Page 9):
Do not expose the device to salt water, ionised water, or soapy water

Even still, I'd love to see a test being done to see exactly how the device reacts. :good:

They also advise you to not submerge the S5 in water. The only reason I can see why they would not reccomend exposure to salt water is because of the seals potentially deteriorating because of the salt.

And that washing machine test, holy smokes... I live in Florida so having a waterproof phone would be nice.
Salt will be corrosive so washing it after exposure might be okay?
Technology and water, when put together = AMAZING! Can't wait to have this.
Salt water is incredibly corrosive, and submerging in that will degrade the contacts on the headphone jack very fast. So don't go swimming in the ocean with it.

But it isnt going to happen instantly so if I am to immediately rinse with fresh water after the salt water exposure it shouldn't have any effect theoretically.
I wonder if anyone with a Z1 ever exposed it to salt water, it also has an open headphone jack so it should also technically be likely to corrode.
