Hi everyone,
I have an Xperia Z, and yesterday I've dunked it twice in a swimming pool for like no more than 5 sec. all the laps were closed but the water got in anyway, it stopped working for a while then after one day It dried out and I used Hair drier to dry it more now the phone works just fine but the power button doesn't seem to respond. instead, the volume up button can now start the phone and the volume down can shut it down, the speaker does not work anymore, when I plugg it to the charger the power indicator doesn't go on. And the touch screen is working but the brightness on it is too low barely can see anything, and yes I checked the brightness options and evrything is exactly how it's supposed to be.
So, did anyone had this problem and will the screen regain it's britghness in the next few days or I should maybe replace it.
Help me please.
Thank you
Hi.
Well, coming from a similar experience, I'll have to tell you that I had my display panel replaced. Though, mine wouldn't work at all. The phone would turn on and even give out notifications (with sound) but with no screen. And it was only after the replacement that I found out I don't have vibration anymore (someone said, however, that my vibration panel is dead due to the overuse of glow for closing the back cover).
Well the vibration on my phone works just fine but the speakers are dead though

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this forum is also good for hardware issues, but since I flashed my X1 with a custom ROM from here, I know there are many capable persons here who could maybe help me:
Last week it was raining pretty badly during an open-air event and although I had the X1 in the pocket of a water-proof jacket it must have gotten slightly wet, since after the event, four of the front keys (OK, Panel, Left, Right) and the standby/power-on-off button at the top are broken.
The front keys seem to be just disconnected, while the standby button seems to be short-circuted, as the phone is immediatly powering up when the batterie is inserted and wants to power down (i.e. it shows the "do-you-really-want-to-shut-down?" screen) after the boot-up is complete.
Other than that, everything seems to work fine. If someone here has helpful information on what to do in such a case (warranty is of coure long expired), I would be delighted.
Thanks!
PS: I already tried drying the X1 using warm (not too warm) air for an hour or so.
a couple of days ago my phone got a little wet. so it was not turning on at all. just the back and home buttons were flashing. today after a couple of days not using the phone, i held the power button for 10 seconds and the screen lit up again. everything seemed to work. but as soon as the screen goes back to sleep it will not turn again unless you hold the power button to reset the phone. now i noticed that even though the screen seems to be off, it's actually on and the backlight for the LCD screen isn't on. i noticed it after looking at an angle and it seems to work just fine. you just can barely seen anything. is there a way to get this working without having to send it back to HTC?
Maybe there's still residual water in the phone? When I dropped my phone in the toilet about a year ago, I put my phone in a big bag of rice (only about $2-3) and that helped pull all the excess moisture out of my phone. Worth a shot anyway!
Alright so basically 5 weeks ago I had my phone in the pool with me, just a shallow backyard pool. And somehow water got into the flaps tripping the water indicators.
I felt it overheat and the camera button being held down, so i basically turned it off and drained its battery. For a few days it was fine, but couldnt hold a charge and everything was fine, but some water in the screen. And then it decided to invert and flip itself. From then on it hasn't been turned on.
I sent it off to Sony but they send it right back to me unfixed, which kinda confused me, because i got a message saying the Claim was approved and they'll be sending a new device out to me. And then when i recieved it, it was my phone, with the loudspeaker grille nowhere to be found.
So now ive decided to take things into my own hands. Where do you guys think the problem is?
Currently its like this
No Water In Screen
Phone Works Perfectly
Screen Mirrored and Flipped
Top of Digitizer not responding so cant pull down menu
Ill be opening it up pretty soon so Im just trying to get an idea of where i should focus my search.
The speaker is also where the screen/digitizer is connected at.. so if there is no loudspeaker there you may have a problem because of that!
Also opening the phone is very tedious and I advise against that.. they should fix it!
There has to be some kind of app that can flip the screen.....
I will explain what happened as elaborate as possible so that some of you can help me with the problem I've been facing.
I have put my phone in water about 5 - 10 cms in my aquarium for a video. 1 was 20 seconds and as it came well. I've took another video for 47 seconds. After that I've tried checking for problem in any component of phone and everything went well. I've shared videos and then used my phone as usual for a long time and phone was completely normal.
I've placed my phone on dock for charging and the magnet didn't work in the first instant. They just didn't stick. I thought it was some issue and I just rubbed my phone to the dock twice or thrice and the magnetic action came back along with a wide array of problems.
I removed from dock while charging and the screen started to randomly blink and the touch never worked. I placed it back in the dock and it charged normally. After a while I've removed it from the dock and the screen got blank all of a sudden scaring me to death. I placed it back and again took it. This time it worked completely normal as if nothing happened and I was able to send a text message. I thought that was just for one time and placed it back for charging and that was the last time my phone touch screen worked.
I removed from the dock after a while trying to unlock the screen and nothing happens. I could use all the hard buttons on the screen. I was able to capture photos using the camera button. Change volume, lock and unlock screen. I tried switching off using the method of volume up + power button. It turned off and on turning on it got even bad. The sony logo blinks a lot it goes dim it comes bright and all sorts of weird things happened. I've removed the sim card and turned on the phone to charge and now the phone restarts after every few minutes.
Even now except the touch screen everything else works fine like the camera. I tried removing the screen protector but that didn't help.
Hoping to have an answer other than taking it to a service center.
Thanks
It seems that not all of z1s are waterproof. I had mine in the sea in about 1 meter deep for 30mins and its still completely functional ( I wash it every day too). Anyway, sorry to tell you but simply there isn't any way to fix it yourself. The only thing you can do is take it to service. And more bad news to come: your warranty doesn't cover damage from water, so you will have to pay. The only thing you can try is blowing your phone with a hairdryer for a few secs, but thats risky.
Took it to the service center. Asked them to check the flaps before they accepted the mobile and there was no water through flaps as the flap litmus is completely unaffected. They took it under warranty and the next day called me to say that it had water in the display connector and the same warranty void answer but I've requested to let me know how the water went inside and they said it was through the bottom speaker grill which clearly means manufacturing defect. Along with escalating the issue I've also asked for a quote for the repair if the warranty gets void and today they came up with this wonderful quote of ₹20,179 its wonderful because I purchased the phone for ₹17,600 just a month ago. The request for manufacturing defect inspection is under progress so I wish to get some good news.
More strange things here. I have completely lost all of my speaker grill but my phone is still 100% waterproof. It's clearly a manufacturing defect, but I doubt they will accept it . Sony support and service is just terrible
