[Q] Xperia Z3 Compact Camera glass white patch - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I recently saw this white patch on the camera glass and I don't think it is from the outside because when I rub it it doesn't go. I have attached a image of how it looks. Only shows when looking from different angles aswell. It wasn't there when I got the phone and been using the phone for 3months. Also I haven't put the phone into water but I did wipe with wet cloth that came with screen protector and noticed this after that. It doesn't affect the camera I think. What do you think I should do? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I have that problem too!!

The Xperia Z has many features, this is one of them:
The Xperia Z features tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back, and high levels of dust and water resistance.

Your son scratched a plastic surface.
Take it off, buy a screen protector, and replace.
The xperia z has a glued on anti shatter film that you can remove and replace with any screen protector of your choice. The only downside is that you lose the Sony logo
Press thanks if I have helped

Yeah it's only the anti shatter film. But if you do remove it you will loose the Sony logo. Some people find that a plus. Also some reporting more responsive screen.

Why the Sony logo does not come pressed on the screen but in the film?
Screen Technology?

No one knows, we can only speculate...
Most people think that it's because it's cheaper this way.

To emphasize on the importance of keeping the sheet in place as a part of the phone.

DoCoMo for example put their logo in that position maybe it's a way to allow personalizations

This. This is my guess. Sony doesn't have a history of cheating so I doubt that's the reason now.

In another forum, a guy said he was part of screen technology, which because it is thin, it would be impossible to press the Sony logo.
He had posted a picture explaining!
Yeah really hate the fact the Sony logo is pressed on the film. It's the only reason why I haven't removed mine. I have a hard enough time already telling which way is the right way up. Just hope we don't see another omnibalace design from Sony. The bottom bezel looks much bigger than it should be.
I prefer on screen buttons but I thought that was meant to help reduce the chassis. Maybe Sony was absent at that meeting because the Z is certainly taller than it needs to be.

If you look closer, you'll notice it has symmetrical proportions, so i guess sony guys had that on their minds... ZL is living prof that extra dimensions are here just cause pure esthetics. My only complain... they could have put larger battery also then...

I cant find anywhere on the net if the xperia logo on the back is pressed into the glass or the 'shatter-proof film'...the reason I ask is that I have protected my screen, but the back has small scratches. Ide hate to loose the xperia logo in an effort to renew its original luster with a new film...anyone know?
​
The Xperia logo in thw back doesn't come out while removing the film.

Check with your country's sony store if removing asf does void warranty before removing it.
Since Sony doesn't want people to remove the screen protector is there any type of anti fingerprint coding on it? I mean If I remove the screen protector will the screen be nice to use or will it just get all smudged in fingerprints that are impossible to remove?

No coating, just straight glass...but I'd recommend getting a matt finish (anti smudge) screen protector if u are going to remove.. Or unless ur screen is already scratched, simply apply it over the top of the factory one. Couldnt personally tell a difference in responsiveness by doing so.

[Q] Xperia Z rear logo

Hi all, I have the xperia z in black, when I got it i was surpirised to see a small raised square on the rear of the phone with a "z" logo in it this is situated between the camera and the "xperia" logo on the rear glass.
All the pictures I have seen don't have this, why is that? Anyone know??
It's just a sticker to tell you where the NFC transmitter is. You can safely remove it if you want to put a protector on the rear of your phone.

[Q] xperia T: screen protectors

hi guys, sorry for the question not related to android development, but I would like to but the xperia T and wanted to know if inside the phone box I will find one screen protector already, or I have to buy it separately..
I remember I bought a sony for my girlfriend time ago (xperia mini pro) and it did include one protector, so maybe sony always put one screen protector inside the box?
thanks in advance bye and sorry for stupid question
The T has a screenprotector applied out of the box, so you don't have to apply one yourself. Afaik all xperia devices have this.

wow that's great thanks a lot for the answer my friend!!
The only problem is , some people dont know it , song claims it is a scratch proof glass ,yes it is, but most people still see Scratch's because the shatter proof sheet is of plastic, and that does scratch. So just to be clear ,its not really a screen protector, it's a shatter proof sheet I've a screen protector on it , with anti oil coat , so the finger prints won't stay and it always looks clean just a hint

[Q] Users with white Sony Xperia Z's - Quick Question

Hi,
Yeah ok I haven't searched if there's a thread on this (if so, don't worry Mods I'll close it). Quick question,
Those with the white Sony Xperia Z, Do you use a case and screen protector? I'm worried my XZ will change color in my jeans or black trousers... I'm particularly worried in the sides. Sony's quality is much better than HTCs so im just worried as im an ex HTC user.
Am I just worried over a silly matter or is it a problem?
Edit - They give us a screen protector... Do they know something we dont?
Thanks all.
Just got it today and im looking to port Sense 5.0 to it

Good to see more devs here
I have the white Z,
3 months now without cover or screen protector and still like a new one.

I've not seen many white XZ around Rome. But from what I've read on some forum that the only part slightly sensitive to external colours is the plastic around the glass. But it can be removed just washing it, nothing permanent seems... :good:
For my white Xperia Z i use front n back screen protection and Spigen ultra slim case...result. In perfect and like New condition peace-out :beer:

That's because there is a factory-applied anti-shatter film on top of the glass which is easier to scratch than the glass is (obviously), so they provide the screen protector because of anticipated higher demand of it.

Please don't
Also, your signature is ridiculously large.

This :good:
You can rest easy on this one. I've had mine since the day 3 launched it on their network. No screen protector and no case, although I have a Poetic stand type case for watching videos but that's only been used twice, and not a scratch on the glass or a colour out of place. The only thing I would say is watch the plastic trim around the sides, luckily on the white one its hard to notice but of you drop it a few times the surface comes off.
Mines been dropped off a ladder at work onto concrete, fallen out my pocket whilst mountain biking and been run over by another bike, it's been pressure washed (although the little water sensor things did all turn red at that point) and it's been stood on.
I've never seen a phone that holds up this well to abuse since the old Nokia 3310.
do you still have plans for sense 5 port?

Guys i hv experienced 1 strange problem... My xperia sp camera gets blur or oiled something on lens and it cant remove with all types of cleaning process...

So we decided to get fixed from service center.... But some how with tight schedule we couldn't go to service center.... but what i got!!! with the passage of time my friend's xsp camera get cleared and mine was get dirt and blur same like my friend's xsp...

Ensure there's no layers of "protective frames" on top of the camera
Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Jst checked... But there is no protection kind of thing over there.... Even during ensuring the protective layer got scratch on glass with my nails
But doesnt matter my older phone has so many scratches but camera works jst fine...

Hey problem solved... Cleaned the lens with my mom's nail paint remover with hard rubbing.... Still some parts here and there are blur but i'll clean it out... Thanx to all......
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
bro, what kind of scratches? does the scratches are over the glass covering the lens? how do you fix it?
i have the same problem today, i get blurry pictures because of the scratches all over the glass covering the lens.
is there any problem to fix this? or we don't have the same problem?
If the glas is scratched go to a local store and ask them if it possible to replace it. (It should be possible).
But try to clean it first
Bro the glass of lens still have many scratches but not deep scratches... I think i didnt use camera from around 1 month (as camera was jst the name sake) so may be the dirt get sticked over it... But after existenz rom camera jst gone to the next level so i need itto be cleared and finally i apply nail polish remover with cotton and rub it with hard hands then cleaned it with new cotton and applied 1 tip or cold cream ( i use to apply clod creame on dvd and cd when they got many scratches and it worked ) then cleaned it with very soft puece of cloth... And here it is my camera...

thanks for the information bro. but im afraid that if i put any solution to the camera like what you have used (nail polish remover and cold cream), i think that some of the solution might enter the camera and can seriously damage it.
I think the glass is sealed pack... Otherwise dust could also come inside glass... Keeping this thing in mind i took that step... Actually i was afraid too...
