I'm not a Filipino. but I was there many times for business trips and in one of those trips I was in Greenhills.

I already dismantled my unit once. What I'll do is take pics while dismantling it when my facia arrives, hopefully in a week. It's hard to explain by words only. So, stay tuned.

ok, got mine today 95% sure its the real deal, all the moudling marks are identical etc.

things i noticed were on the front facia the screw holes are about 2mm shorter than on my old case, this doesnt seem to cause any problems but i imagine the pcb is not quite as secure as it was orginally

the rear case is a bad fit, mine kept popping off at the sides. To get round this i scratched away some of the plasic from the center housing and it clips in nicley now.

I also got the black keypad to go with it too, quality seems fine though a little more light seems to escape from round the keypad than usual (yes i am being picky)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just finished replacing my facia.

I had problems with mine.

First, the front facia was bend in transit, so in the mean time I decided to practice and installed the new rear covers and the middle casing. These went fine.

Now my problem is, I now have a high pitched whine from the lcd screen!

I've taken the unit apart 2 times now and checked all the internal grounds and connections. Everything looks and fits fine however.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

problems with my fascia installation

i had my casing installed by a technician.

everything worked fine until a few hours after when my sound became very soft.

it wasnt muted, i could still hear it but it was too soft even at mximum volume.

could this be a software problem or could it be a loose soundboard?

what do you guys think?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ooggo:
it could be the technician who disassemble your housing... i suggest if you change your housing... go to the 02 service center..... they are the expert but it can cost you

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan25012003:
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?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrusha829:
Take a dryer to it or put it in a bag of rice for a day with the flaps open.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
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.

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! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slim207rc:
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!

Regards ;)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragion:
OUCH!

It seems strange that SONY advertises the ability of taking pictures under water...probably in a "fresh water lake or pond"? :confused:

I was just "confirming" what was indicated from SONY's website...I wasn't taking a direct attack @ you. :D

Now we can go back and help answer the OP's original issue....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamed_Aly:
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

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.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
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.

I've been swimming with mine and no problems whatsoever, plus the one meter thing is a safe guard, i was at least 6-7 feet and no problems, plus the half an hour guide is a safe guard too, i was under water and so were the kids for around 2 - 3 hours playing with the phone and it was alright for the whole time and still is.

If your flaps were closed and it allowed water in then it's not supposed to so you should send it back, regardless of the time it takes to get it fixed.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Prior to entering water it's a good idea to give your flaps a good old clean, so get a soft toothbrush (one you're about to throw away is good as it's softer) then rub the grit or whatever could allow water it, no matter how small, but if there's a defect then theres a defect and no matter what you do water will get in.

Perhaps i've been lucky but you don't buy a water proof phone to keep it dry do you? No more do you buy a fast car to crawl about a city.

At least i don't :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piponxs:
Guys just check small white stripe when you open the flaps, if the white stripe is red, than water got in and your warranty is over

It happened to me twice.

I realised it occurs when the phone is warm and I washed it under cold tap water.

So it's probably condensation. Off my phone, opened the flaps and let it dry for a few hrs and it did the trick.

Camera app problem

Few days ago I bought Xperia Z1, and today I took my brand new Xperia for a swim

, and now there is a problem.

Camera app constantly opens and closes on it's own, I had to shut it down because it drains battery very fast, and I don't know what to do.

When the phone is on, it just stands there on the table, and the camera app opens and closes, again and again with that sound like on a quick launch, when the phone is locked.

I bought this phone because it's waterproof, and first day already I'm encountering problems. I'd be grateful for helpful solution as soon as possible, any suggestions are welcome, I really need this phone back in function.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jancarlos1597:
Same thing happened to me, it was like 2 months ago, and i deactivated the camera button, once i activated back the button didn't work, but i didn't mind on that,and now the problem is bigger, the power button is pressing multiple times itself, my phone turn on and turn off the screen constantly, i need to hit hard the power button to get it working "normally".

I will see, i will take my phone to warranty to see what they can do for me, i will do that this week or next.

THIS IS NOT A 100% waterproof phone, come on Sony.

Sorry for my bad english tho!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinci:
Sony has much to do about waterproofing their phones, and test each device before advertising it and sending it to market. I bought Xperia V last year because they said it's waterproof, and I paid for nothing, now I bought Xperia Z1, and I paid almost double for a bigger nothing.
[HTC Sensation] raulov:
Hello everybody, this is my first post here but I have been reading the ViperS threads in the development forum since version 2. Awesome rom, I really like it.

However, I have encountered an issue with ViperS 5.1.0 . I would like someone else confirm if this is happening on his sensation too (with ViperS 5.1.0), because its a very annoying bug, and a potential security flaw.

A few days ago I installed ViperS 5.1.0 (from full wipe and no restoring of backups, clean install), and shortly afterwards I noticed that my home computers in my LAN (ethernet and wifi), where having some kind of little micro-cuts in communication with the internet, especially noticeable with google and youtube autocomplete feature and things like that. The communication completely stops for a few seconds, then resumes and works perfectly until a couple of minutes (sometimes less), and it happens again.

I checked my network with a packet sniffer, and found the culprit to be the Sensation. This is what happens:

I have wifi set to always active on the phone and, when the phone is left suspended with screen off, after a little while it begins to send bogus ARP protocol broadcast packets announcing that it has a random (and incorrect) IP associated to his wlan mac. It repeats it again with several other random IPs over time, and sometimes it also says via ARP that it has the same IP as my home router. In that case, it causes all computers and devices on the network, to try to access the internet via the Sensation's wlan card mac, which obviously fails, causing the micro-cuts. After a few seconds, the router sends the correct ARP information and the computers can access the internet again. This is very similar to an ARP spoof attack, but I can't see why the phone is doing it.

It's only happening with ViperS 5.1.0. I have tried disabling ad away and also tried to connect with a fixed IP instead of DHCP, but it keeps happening.

I have attached a screenshot to show the problem.

PD: On other subject, the wifi is buggy when changing access points in the same WLAN (I have 2 APs at home), it turns off, activates mobile data, and then turns wifi on again, taking a long while to do it. In ViperS 3, it just went from one access point to the other without disconnecting. This is a secondary thing, I can live with it, but I thought I should say it just in case it's a easy thing to solve for the devs.

Thanks for your time! I really appreciate your work. :good:
[HTC Sensation] raulov:
I have been trying to do a packet capture in the phone, and tried to find something in the logs, but I can't see anything. Could this be related to the wifi drivers? Since ARP protocol is in link layer, I can't think of anything else.

Also the other day I connected to a wifi network in other place, and it completely crashed the router, no one else could connect.

[MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION] , I would really appreciate it if you can have a look at this. Because of it, at the moment I'm using mobile data only even at home, and I'm going to use it up pretty quickly :(

Thanks in advance :good:
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
I have been using ViperS for a while, and I it certainly isn't ARP poisoning the network.

Try setting a static IP (set it to that alloted by your DHCP) and see if the issue persists.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] raulov:
That's the first thing I tried, it didn't help.

I have googled it and seems there are some problems with the ARP offload feature in the wifi chip drivers, and several phones have suffered it, the nexus 4 and some HTC devices. A lot of people have reported it in the google code forums.

The thing is that it didn't happen to me in previous ViperS 5.0.0, so something must have been changed in the rom that it's causing it. Do you know where I could look? Maybe it's just something wrong in a config file and can be easily solved.
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
While I may not know I shall still try to help :) once I am home I will quote your post into the correct ROM thread to see if the devs/power users of this ROM can help out :)
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
ok im posting it now, can you get a logcat to supply to the devs please?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Yes i saw this, but as only person with this problem, i didint investigate. There can be many reasons this is happening to you, but most likely its problem in your own network/routers. My suggestion is first try updating your routers firmware, if there isnt new firmware, just try resting them to factory default and re configure them. I have actual experience with this, my DIR-655 couldn't connect in wifi N mode until i reseted it.

Also HTC ONE users had problems with Dir -655 where it would reboot if HTC one would connect to it (Firmware issue).

Also from your pics i see "duplicate use of 192.168.1.1", are you running 2 routers on same network with same ip address??Than this is the reason of your problems, you cant have 2 devices with same IP in same network, even worse will happen if those 2 devices are actual routers, or even worse if both of them are running DHCP.So re-check your network, make sure only 1 DHCP is running, and there are no devices with same fixed IP address.

Also here are to 2 tests for phone with different wifi supplicant versions, try them ONLY after you make sure your network is fine.
