hi everyone..
I have HD7 1 week and today notice that the battery cover has a gap..and you can see the SIM carde..
Is tha norman?
If not..
Where can i send my hd7 in order to be replaced?
Send it dirtectly in HTC ? (i'm from Greece and here is ACE Hellas)
Address it to the shop i bought it?
How many days did they spend to replace your mobile?
Thanks for your help
Normal, been had that. Think its super dope.
LOL. People consider this a problem...wow...
Just squeeze it?
I never had this problem until i remove both back covers. When putting them back on, there was a small gap between the 2 covers. I just pushed them back together by putting my thumb on the bottom of the phone (covering the headphone jack) and by finger on the top of the phone next to the power button and squeezing the phone.
No gap anymore.
It's normal, but who cares as long as it it doesn't affect the performance of the device.

Wait until water gets in and then will you find out.

Water will get into the phone, gap or no gap. It's not waterproof.
This just seems like poor quality or quality control on HTC's part.
I haven't noticed really since it's in a case.

lol... Let's drop any other smartphone in water and see if the outcome is different to that of the HD7.
Solution!
I had the same problem, here is the solution!
*Remove the battery door.
*Remove the SIM Card
*Grab a permanent black marker
*Color the area of the SIM card that is exposed to the crack in the battery door
*Apply again, rinse, repeat
*Reinstall SIM card
*Reinstall battery door
Problem solved!
Guess I'm a lucky one. No gap here.
Does the GAP have extended batteries?
I have managed to somehow dent the micro sim cap/door, does the device need dis-assembly to replace?
I have found a place that stocks genuine parts, however after contacting Sony service center they want me to send the device away interstate, which seems ridiculous. Sony stated though "in order to keep waterproof integrity it is necessary to get the job done by technician".
Any thoughts or tips on replacing the door, is it just a matter of squeezing the rubbery ball through a slot(no pun intended)or is it more involved?
Regards
I wouldn't take a risk but that's just me. Especially if you're gonna be utilizing the waterproof part of the phone =)

I know, however, I dont want to send it away, the last time I sent away brand new device it returned to me with scratches and was obviously mishandled . We have quite a few Sony stores but none will deal directly with repairs, perhaps I have to make warranty claim. I have babied this device I dont even use it with sim card yet, it is my mp3 player only at night after work.
I can just see them charging me heaps for doing f-all more than swapping out a simple part. Surely this can be done without dis-assembly?
I dropped mine a couple of weeks ago, it landed on the micro sim flap as well and the dent was pretty bad.
It was, if I remember correctly, the xperia z ports could be pulled out and the replacement pushed back in. I've not see a breakdown of the z1 yet so I may be totally wrong this time around.
no the Z1 needsw to be pulled apart, I work at a mobile shop, the Xperias Z1 is a hell mission to pull apart, the flaps on the Z1, will break if you put them in without opening it
Ps:// http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/15/xperia-z1-disassembly-guide/
I just removed and replaced the door without disassembley it comes out very easily and goes back in very easily, problem solved. Save me $100 since shipping device is $20 and door replacement by tech is $80, what a rip off!
Disclaimer: Try at your own risk, however, I can say nearly 100% confidence that you wont have any problems.
Where abouts did you get the sim port door from please?

To be honest my cover for the usb broke off It would fit firm when I would place it back I still used it under water my problem was it wasn't attached and in between charging I had to put the flap in my pocket and yes lost it lol

Theres a few places, here and here also.
I agree with letting the sony technicians handle it... Sure you could just easily swap the caps but the official technicians should pressure test it first for waterproofness before sending it back to you...
My daughter pulled on e of mine off the other day, it just pops back in very easily and the way it goes in means there is no need for a pressure test. The bit that keeps it attached to the device has nothing to do with the waterproofing.
I was not talking about that part of the cover... I was talking about the cover itself if it perfectly fits on the ports or if it has any dents or gaps that would compromise the waterproofness of the phone even 1/4 millimeter gap from that would really mess up your phone

You say it pops in easily, is it that simple Greg. Not ordered mine yet. In hospital for a few days, probably do it in next day or two.
With the ends of the port that slot into the z1, has a triangle shapped lip, is it tough, malleable and pushes in easily?

true, but don't we take those parts off every day when plugging in the charger/removing SD card etc, and don't we put them back fine ourselves....
My USB cover isn't sitting flush anymore, does anyone know of a UK supplier for a replacement flap? Anyone else who's flaps are no longer flush?!!

Please! send device away for way over $100(for a $2 part!) where it will be most likely be sent back with scratches, mishandled by technicians, couriers and/or postal services at no less than a large shipping and handling premium (if you dont want to risk damage, ie insurances etc)
So you're looking at around $40 insured postage, $80 for repair plus another $40 return insured postage. I doubt theres any tests in terms of water, nitro or any other! There is no pressure test nor is there any evacuation test, its impossible!
The housing and port door components are mass produced by automated computer based programs that dont leave any room for error. There is certainly no testing in terms of pressure on the mass produced market devices, only the initial prototypes are tested and perfected then sent to production.
No issues with my replacement parts, Ive showered and washed down the device many times.
Glad that it's the case then! My only worries is if we buy it from 3rd party stores it isn't OEM(as I'm pretty sure sony wouldn't sell any parts of it's phone for retail) and it's not the same machine used by sony and there could be miscalculations or errors

I will not do that! I saw screen light when I pull out my sd and usb cover caps and I am sure if the doors are open you will damage you phone. Fore sure the caps doors make the phone waterproof.

Absolutely no need to remove the back housing, I can confirm the doors/caps pop out so easily and go back in just as easily with no issues, I have taken mine under water at least 20 times since replacing microSIM door. I purchased my replacement from Part4repair.com and it looks and functions just as the original did. The parts are tested prior to shipping. If you waste $100+ for a simple door/cap replacement then you're being robbed blind!
I got my phone wet last week not thinking anything of it since the phone is supposed to be waterproof. Next thing I know the screen turned black but everything else worked fine. I inspected the phone to find water got into the camera lens so I let it air dry overnight. The next day It worked so i tried to do a test to see if the phone is waterproof. I got two small pieces of tissue paper and put them under the flaps and place the phone in about 4 inches of water for maybe 30 seconds. I pulled the phone out and dried it off let it sit for a minute then opened the covers to find water got into the phone again. I repeated this test again the next day to make sure it wasn't a fluke and the same thing happened. I then did the same thing without the 2 peices of paper to make sure the paper wasn't keeping the covers open and water got in my phone again and the screen temporarily stopped working again. I chatted with someone online to see if I could send the phone in to get it fixed and they told me it would take 14 business days and I had to call sony to get that set up. So today I just got off the phone with them and they said that they couldn't do anything because "theres nothing wrong with my phone" Even though I explained that it wasn't waterproof and that it was defective. She also said something about not being able to fix it because its not from the U.S but didn't say anything about that after I brought up sending it to a place where they can fix it.
Has anyone gone through this with a different sony phone and can help me to figure out what I need to do to get a replacement or am I screwed?

It's strange. Send it back where you bought it?
PS: you can test waterproofing WITHOUT water:
1) close the flaps
2) dial *#*#7378423#*#* (7378423 = SERVICE)
3) service tests/pressure sensor
4) press on the screen with your finger, pressure will rise
5) open a flap, press, pressure does not rise

I wish i knew about this before I tried putting it in water today. Im guessing if the pressure doesnt rise then its not waterproof?
Also i bought it from clove who told me to talk to sony.

Have you tried contacting Clove again to let them know Sony isn't doing squat for you? They seem to have a good reputation so I'd give them a chance to make this right. A lot of us have bought from Clove (and Handtec) and I know many were worried about what steps to take in case we ever needed support so I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd like to see you get this issue resolved as smoothly and quickly as possible. It would serve as a guideline for those in the future who experience any problems that require service.
Exactly, if pressure does not move then one of the flaps isn't sealed properly.
If it isn't waterproof, that's a warranty issue. But noticing that it isn't waterproof and then exposing it to water multiple times, even for testing, is insane.

Yeah it does sound dumb, but I only realised its not waterproof after water got in it already. water damage is water damage since the marker turned pink already putting it in water again isn't changing anything. I just wanted proof for my sake that it wasn't waterproof.
My Z3C is actually currently on its way back to SBE Ltd in UK(from WA, USA because USA sony won't touch it, also purchased from Clove) for a similar issue. The flap over my micro-sd card was allowing drops of water into the system(4 inches deep for about 2 minutes) even when closed as securely as possible. Initially the haptic feedback motor started misbehaving(would turn on and stay on, various speeds, even while the phone was off) and then finally the touch screen stopped accepting input.

I had to pay shipping to them(~$14 international first class, ups was trying to charge me $107). It took 3 emails(first they didn't really read, just said no b/c I was in the USA. Second, reminding them then the phone is a UK IMEI and the USA sony wouldn't touch it and that I believed the phone was damaged due to manufacturing error, and then 3rd that "yes, I want it repaired regardless")
I'm pretty sure that they are going to tell me I have to pay for the repair. But at this point it's either a $500 paperweight or w/e the repair cost is.

Awesome tip with the pressure test. I just did mine. It seems it's working! Thanks!
The phone is not waterproof it's water resistant. There is a difference between the two.
Could be a faulty device and you should replace it.

The phone is definitely Waterproof, but to a certain limit. Just like Waterproof watches would say up to 100M for example, this phone is Waterproof up to the specifications of IP68. Water resistance can only withstand from things such as light rain, water splashes but not from submerging it under water.
Even the billboards they boast about the phone being Waterproof.
Waterproof is often used in marketing, the specification talks about resistance and protection iirc - since there's always some point at which the water resistance fails, with the IP code specifying exactly the minimum resistantance, it's never really waterproof. But that's really just nit-picking.

I'm going with luck of the draw. The first USA sony rep I got said that her system was down and couldn't look up my IMEI, that she would call me back(never did).
Second rep realized she couldn't look up my IMEI because it was a UK IMEI and told me that Sony USA would not accept it and that I needed to contact Sony from the country of origin(UK).

Wow that's awesome! Never knew this.
So tried it on mine, and I can safely say the pressure rises. Got the following values:
no touch @ idle: 989 millibar
1 finger regular touch 990 millibar.
4 fingers : 993 millibar (pressed hard enough not to feel flex in the screen)
Is that healthy? What values are you all getting?
I have a Brand New phone where the SIM flap does NOT sit flush with the body of the phone.
The MicroUSB flap if fine and when viewing the screen cannot be seen. However, the SIM flap can be seen raised. If I push it back in it is flush for around 2-3 seconds and then it starts to protrude again!
Surely this will compromise the waterproofing???
I see other people are having problems but most of them where after 2-3 weeks. Mine is like this OUT OF THE BOX!!!
Your experiences?
Bump!
Me too.
Now I'm using the ultraslim cover from Puro and I think this helped reducing that.
Anyway you can try changing the flap, it's cheap and I saw that lot of people with this problem managed to solve in that way.

I have the same problem but on the upper one. Where do you buy flaps? Sony told me to send it under warranty but not having the phone 3 weeks just to change a rubber piece seems stupid.
If you have this problem exchange the phone for a new one immediately.. I had this and o2 said it was a recognised fault with some units

My SIM flap protrudes about 1/3 of a mm, but I've held my phone under water for a few minutes and there were no bubbles emerging anywhere so I think I'm good for now.

OK, Just a quick update. Last night, I pushed the SIM Cover right in and wrapped about 3 rubber bands (top, middle & bottom of the flap) over the face of the phone to ensure that the flap remained in place when I let go of it.
When I took the rubber bands off this morning its a lot better.
I don't know if its a long term solution, but the flap does not seem to be protruding as much.... In fact it looks almost flush. :good: for now!

Try the rubber band method... Push the bottom of the flap in and then place a rubber band on it and leave it overnight
For information I had the same issue when I received mine. I did not want to send it back and wait again for a new one so I used to push back the flap when I saw it open. Now, the flap remains closed and doesn't open anymore! I think it just need some time to fit correctly.

You can test waterproofing without water:

2) dial *#*#7378423#*#* (7378423 = SERVICE)
3) service tests/pressure sensor
4) press on the screen with your finger, pressure will rise

It is waterproof. You can take it to a Sony service center and wait for them to repair it (should take about two weeks) and pay for the privilege, or get the cover from Witrigs, AliExpress, etc and do it yourself.

Yes, you don't need to worry about the water resistance: it's still water resistant without the grill. Mine was dropped into water, washed etc many times without the damned grill while I waited for the replacement to come from China.
This is one of the issues with the Z1, its build quality isn't top notch. Mine lost the grill and the power button ring in less than 18 months.

Thanks everyone! I ordered a loupspeaker mesh online. I'm not sure how to fix the new one as the exposed area has a lot of dust and may have lost it's adhesive ability altogether. Any info on how I can fix it myself?
I think they usually come with an adhesive tape already attached..so should just be able to peel the back off and stick it on.
