It's easy to fix if you do it right.

I can describe how i did it if you want.

All you need is sensite feeling and a new usb cap from a website, i got mine from amazon.

Thats the reason i bought a dock station 3 months after i got my Z. Its a good solution for home :)

I got a dock too but had to change cups before that :thumbdown::o

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smash_07:
So how did you fix it? I can find a new cap easily. Even though I have warranty to fix this by Sony I would like to know your procedure.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
Ok the only hard thing is to get the cap out of the phone.

You need to go in the small hole over the gap with something thin and stable, then you need to push the cap down and while doing this you need to carefully pull it out. There is a barb at the end which shouldn't get stuck in the phone, so don't pull too much.

It can take a bit up to 15 min but it's worth it. There's no need to sent it in repair becoz the phone's away 2 weeks then.

The input of the new cap is easy and goes itself.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
I ordered my XZ the launch week along with the dock... In fact I received the dock before the phone. I also use Airdroid to transfer content to my phone for convenience reasons mainly. So, my usb flap has been opened like 20 times maximum to do some flashtool sessions or emergency charges out of home, and it still closes and feels like brand new.

Definitely after reading threads like this I feel buying the dock was a very, very good idea.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maryoley:
No problem here I have been using both dock and usb since i bought the phone 8 month ago and the cap is still flat.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sipe1:
So I have to make a hook with cooper or wire to pull old flap out? And then just insert new one in?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
Normally you don't need anything, you only need to pull carefully.

The thing is you need to know how the flap is build, the barb shows up.

You may need to find out yourself how to do it best.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
I've got a set on order and will let everyone know how I did it. I was thinking that a thin sewing pin down the hole on the side the barb was on might do it, if I feel too nervous just pulling, thinking it might snap off.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boyq:
Please provide step by step pictures! ?

Ifixit might have a teardown video. Go check.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
It was -23c and the flap was completely frozen I guess, tried closing it and it completely shattered (Shaky fingers, probably pushed against the phone itself). So yeah these flaps aren't the most durable, but warranty covers it. My girlfriend got new flaps on her xGo twice from warranty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
I've got the same issue, but with headphone jack cap.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
I just got mine out with one.

I had to pull the flap until it stretched at the end, so I could actually see the barb, then I stuck the pin in into it at the top and pulled it all out. Wiggling and sticking the pin down the side didn't do anything at all.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luluchambler:
I don't now how hard it is to get the flaps out, but the upper part (the white holding thingie) seems to be glued unto the flap itself, it is probably possible to get it out on the upper side (not sure though).

I dont need to remove the flaps yet but at a first check i couldn't see any kind of barb.

Btw. is it normal that the upper part of the USB-Flap seems to be tighter than the down part of it, basicly the part between usb-flap and micro-sd flap?

Iam using the Dock, the USB Port is just for file-transfer.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
If you do it my way it comes out in about a second or two, its purely about the top of the barb, width isn't a factor.

It not being as tight is how it starts, then eventually the bottom does not stay in at all. I think that part of the black seal just gets rubbed more until the rim comes off eventually and it won't even close.

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angel7501@live.com:
Hello guys

Two days ago I dropped my G2. I assumed that since it was Gorilla Glass it would be fine, and since it fell from just 3 ft high it would be fine. I was wrong. The digitizer cracked from the bottom to the top around the speaker. The LCD looks fine, but the Digitizer doesn't respond to touches

Does anyone know if I can replace only the Digitizer? I've read somewhere that the digitizer and the Screen are united by OCA glue, but I've also seen brand new G2 digitizers for sale on Ebay without the LCD. I was wondering if its possible to heat the broken Digitizer enough so that the LCD can be removed and the replacement Digitizer can be placed on top but with 3m tape.

The phone is brand new and I can't send it to LG for repairs since I'm at PR, so I would rely on the answers you guys give and the guy from the phone repair store to do the whole procedure for me :)

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdevil:
It may be possible but will require professional tools. Better and easier way is replace lcd with frame. You can also replace lcd/digitizer module to your frame. LG phones are easy to disassembly.

So there's a limited supply of these sweet glasses I assume? Are there any indications when these will ship internationally or anything? Since I'm gonna use the glasses for long distance pumping on longboard I cannot buy em from the US, there will be crashes, no doubt about it, I need to have some kind of warranty or insurance from a store here in Sweden.

All the extreme spamming of invites (someone should merge all of em into the sticky) are those prototype glasses that were released for developers only? I dearly hope that the 1500$ price tag I noticed is just taken out of the blue because it would be an expensive piece of junk when I'm done longboarding for the summer unless the insurance or warranty covers my fail costs :fingers-crossed:

Last but not least, they're ugly ass f* right? Though I'm not riding longboard to be sexy so I really don't mind :silly:
[Glass General] Brendo:
Well, 10000 initially, then each of them got 3 invites each. Not all invites given away, however pretty sure all those that accepted invites also got 3 invites (I know I did)

There can't be many outside the us. Had to jump through heaps of holes just to get it to Australia

The us$1500 is before you add tax (us$120)

Hi can you spare an invite?
[Glass General] anomolli:
I think there's more than the original 10,000 + 30,000 invites. Google has a waiting list now that people have successfully been able to receive an invite. Additionally, I was able to get one through some contacts at Google, so I don't think there's any way to tell. Plus, after sending my 3 invites out in early December, none of my invites received an actual invite yet. Given the consumer one is supposed to be released first half of 2014, the appeal to spend $1500.00 bucks on the prototype is waning, IMHO.
[Glass General] Brendo:
I got in on first invite rush. Only one of the three people I invited have got invite (that would make them 3rd round I guess)

Hey Everyone,

bought a couple of days ago a 4Gb SD card on ebay for £85.00.

Got it yearsterday put it in the Xda Executive works with no problem.

I formated it with Pocket Mechanic in FAT 32.

Copied all my stuff from my only 2GB MMC to the 4GB SD card a pop it in the XDA Executive and up to now I've had no problems.

Works Great.

The make of the card is:

My Flash

150X Turbo

Hope this is helpfull.

the only card I know that does 150x is the transcend. wonder if this is the same OEM as the mycard ?????

Does camera save work ok on the 2gb ?

If you have an o2 xda exec it might worth a support email or call to o2. It sounds like a simple issue to fix, just some check in the camera software that is failing probably being due to using 32 bit integer, as this is 2gb address. 33bit is 4gb

I've had the same problem 5 months ago when I bought the 4GB Transcend. That is why I returned mine. The only solution is to store more than 2MB of whatever you want on the 4GB SD Card before the camera application will even recognize it. The camera application only supports up to 2GB Cards from my experience.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] colonel:
hey cktlcmd, r u saying that if more then 2m are stored in the photo sub-folder then the camera works as normal ?

+ personal qu. aren't you a bit pissed that you can't use umts in new jersey ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] coldpenguin:
I think that he means 2GB.

Basically, if you try and store a number greater that 2GB (i.e., 33bit), in a 32bit integer, the number will be returned as negative when read back as a 32bit integer. The camera program must be converting the amount of free space to a 32bit integer, which is not a correct assumption to make, but this is microsoft.

I was wondering whether the flash could be partitioned to be two 2GB partitions and whether this would fix the problem. But, if the programmers were so lazy not to check the bounds on variable or that they are the correct types, then it would probably not be possible to see the second partition

But why partition a 4GB SD card when its been successfully use on the Universal?
