[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brugobo:
Mine does the same, it was one of the first things I noticed. Mine does it when pressing my thumb a bit over the midline, like 40% into the right bezel, measuring from the top right corner and going downwards. The left bezel feels the most solid but the others have creaking spots.

It is not a big deal imo.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
since you've mentioned this , im going today to check Sony Electronics here in UAE and test their demo to see if this is a universal issue , its an issue of irritation from its solidity coming from sony this hurts their name. if people accept keeping the condition this way then handling the device will sway from the comfort level of slick solid feel by time.

I don't have that issue with my Xperia Z2 Tablet
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigafast:
I have this issue. Makes a creaking sound when I pinch the tablet on the right side. Did not do this when I first got the tablet but started a couple days ago. Did not seem to affect the water proofing but I only tried running it under a faucet.

Can we warranty this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
I'm getting a replacement
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brugobo:
I just returned my Z2 tablet and got a reinbursement.

My unit started to have very noticeable rippling artifacts and flashes on the right edge when I was holding the tablet landscape with my right hand. Not always, but far from subtle when it happened, and I do not think I was gripping unreasonably hard. Additionally, holding the tablet from the right edge would sometimes wake up the tablet as if I had double tapped the screen.

It could be my unit but it looked like a weakness in its design so I do not trust the build quality of this model for the long term though I liked everything else about it.

I received my z2 tab today and the right bezel seems fine. No clicking or Halloween feeling to it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastiny:
so did your reimbursed set have the same sound? I'm hearing it on mine now. =\
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brugobo:
I got a refund. Got my money back and I no longer have a Z2.

I recomend that prospective buyers try it at several stores so they get a feeling of its average build quality and buy at one that allows refunds just in case.

I am disappointed by the build quality and I wish those 50 grams they saved from the first Z were used to reinforce the body instead. The original Z tablet was light enough already.

In all other regards, however, the tablet was the best Android tablet experience you can buy.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastiny:
How's your replacement? still have the sound??
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
im waiting for comtel to give me one since they sent it to sony asia and perhaps this week if not im getting the money back and find another retailer to buy a new one and give u guys feedback for sure

No other owners facing same issue?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
ok I just got my new replacement I think this issue is from the production line or somehow its a design flow, this is the 2nd one im feeling and it feels diffrent then my first, the first that I had replaced had the issue from the right side and now this one has the issue from the left side but its diffrent, no more crackling sound under the bezel, but this is just like a loose feel more over then the one from the past, I guess the more tighter they make it the more crackling sound u will feel when handling device. I still didnt test the touch screen and water proof, im going to be using this daily on water and give a later feedback on touch screen and anything else, atleast its less frustrating then my previous one which kept sketching crackling sounds on the right side of the bezel whenever I pick it up with 1 hand from the right.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
OK until now was under water for 15min lots of bubbles was coming out of it from the bezel where their was no port it was weird unlike the first one. Its not an iPad the gaps loose feeling from the design is the only problem. The back feels is not enforced proper to the whole build quality. It's like ablowfish,medium pressure presses can make you feel the sway of the build qualities loosness of the chassis /back. &screen
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
Water goes in the bezel feels heavier after its set under water and I am not sure please verify with your tablet

New update...

Yes water goes in just verified now the crackling sound is back when it used to be a gap of air is now a crackling sounds. The bezel body of this build design is not reinforced perfectly. This is an obvious glitch Sony please wake up.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
If u guys want I can demonstrate what I mean and how I knew water goes in from the right side of this tablet.

Once I diped it in my bath tub theirs bubbles lots of little bubbles coming from the upper right edge of the bezel... Meaning air is released....

Their was no sound when I used to carry this tablet with ( one hand) from the (right side edge) on Landscape

But now that first issue still arises..

It's the same issue with the one I had replaced.

Sony is not aware of this issue please help shoutcast to people like Engadget and the review people to reach Sony since Sony support line and emails are dense to react to whom.

I'm gonna start calling them up until I get replacement I'm not waiting this will not get fixed itself magically.

Myne is same model tablet , the sgp is Singapore base and this issue is the same issue that z2 phone owners are experiencing in Singapore.

if u Google gap screen z2 Singapore, the results will show z2 phone owners 2months ago complaining about the gaps and water resistant.

Sony did not fix Singapore past problem with the z2 phone owners, if this issue is just Singapore I hope so then I'm returning my tablet and ordering one from UK or USA.

I got a Z2 Tablet from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and the unit I received had this exact problem! I was debating whether to just live with it but I work for a retailer who stocks the Z2 Tablet and compared mine to 3 different demo units. All the units were completely solid in comparison to mine so I decided to return to Amazon. My replacement should arrive tomorrow so fingers crossed this one is better!

Thing is, I'm not sure the device I got did this from the start... I think it developed a few days down the line. So the demo units I compared against might feel solid now, but will they a couple of weeks down the line? Time will tell...

when i had my replacement the crackling sound from right side was not their until i got it in the water the sound started to occur , water goes in thats for fact im now filling pool after a long 2 day dry for my tablet , im goin to film this occurances , first the bubbles , 2nd the high sound of cracks inside the bezel when handling with 1 hand , before water when brand new theirs a gap of sound that seems like its abit solid but not quite solid , after a water dive , the tablet is not solid anymore

Something very wrong there... Hopefully the water isn't going somewhere that could damage the unit!

I have just received my replacement from Amazon and this one is even worse! The left side, the middle and the right side all have a lot of movement and have the crackling sort of sound! Will send this one back and try again!!

I must say though, Amazon have been brilliant so far... Hopefully all goes smoothly again with the return!

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
Hello there !

To whose having that loose feel/creaking problem: Peek over the long side of the Z2 and see if your tablet is slightly curved, not absolutely straight.

With my Z2, it seems the display glass is just a tiny bit too small, putting some stress on the body, leading to that slightly curved appearance.

This might be the cause for the problem.

My Z2 did not produce any creaking noise right after unpacking - I knew this thread prior to buying the tablet, so I checked thoroughly for any creaking issues, especiallly on the right bezel side: Nothing at all, felt and sounded solid as a rock.

Issues started after using the Z2 for a few days. At the same time, the touchscreen issue also came up - but maybe that's just a coincidence.

So please give the creak a peek, let's see if there's any connection between body deformation and the issue at hand.

I am using the LTE variant, running v2.55.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skogstoken:
I also have the creaking sound and I also tried to put it in the bathtub! Got alot of bubbles from the exact same corner as you ;/. I wonder what to make out of all this... The tablet worked fine afterwards, though I do have the touch-screen response problem aswell!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
Could you please tell me what is the build model of your tablet, because the issue arised in the past from z2 phone owners from Singapore but not Europe.

I wanna know if this problem is main stream or just Singapore.

Where you bought you're device Asian release market or Europe
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
Crozar: My Z2 was bought in Europe, Germany. Creaking and touchscreen issues, body slightly curved, not straight.

I did not submerge the Z2 as I fear leaking problems, but already wrote an eMail to Sony mentioning the problems and asking for replacement (bought the Z2 via Sony's online shop).
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skogstoken:
Ah I thought you wanted a specific number ;). I bought mine from Sonys Online shop in Europe.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
Is the problems you have are exact same as my tablet? Most importantly the crackling sound?

I'm from uae and Middle east Sony market is from Singapore

If that's the case then lol to Sony.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
Did you purchase from this European site http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/xperia-tablet-z/sgp511-sgp512-sgp521
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
When things become slim in general it becomes very delicate , so I believe the quality build from Sony these years was not very successful with their new technological approaches.I have sony vaio flip and duo 11 and I see resemblances build quality problems that are small as this but can be harmful interms for their users.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
I suggest reading my post # 28 and checking your device for the design flaw mentioned. Maybe that explains it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skogstoken:
I have bubbles coming out from the same corner. I can hear creaking from basically all sides of the tablet if I press hard enough, however its mostly noticable from the right, shortside, of the tablet.

I bought mine from the swedish shop. Replace .co.uk with .se.

Im not really sure I understand what you mean by that post. I had another look now and yes, its sligtly bent but not much at all.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
That's what I wanted to know. Maybe there is a connection between a "bent" Z2 and the creaking, touchscreen and possible water ingress problems.

ALL, please: Check your Z2 if it's slightly bent, curved, not straight (see post #28). And if that's the case: Did you experience creaking and touchscreen issues ?

Amazon UK are sending me another replacement this week, so maybe 3rd time lucky!

I wouldn't actually be that bothered, but as I mentioned before I work for a UK retailer who stocks Z2 tablets and I have two of them in front of me right now which are absolutely rock solid! It feels like a different device altogether than the ones Amazon have been sending in terms of build quality.

The only reason I am buyinh from amazon was because I had a large amount of Amazon gift cards to use... otherwise I would buy it from the palce I work to make sure I'm getting a good one!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skogstoken:
Maybe you can save those gift cards for something else? :) Do you notice any difference between the different models in terms of build quality? Also do you know if you happen to have a later batch of tablets at your work compared to the ones you are getting from Amazon?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matty2345:
Some of the numbers on the box are different yes, but i'm not sure which of the numbers are relating to which batch they are from etc. The ones at my work are certainly of better build quality yes. The Amazon ones feel more flimsy in the back panel... the ones I have here are rock solid in structure.

The 3rd one from Amazon will be here tomorrow or Wednesday so will see if it's any better! Fingers crossed!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastiny:
Dun waste your time... I changed mine. Check in the store for sound, nothing heard. After few days, it gets more n more audible...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crozar:
The one from your store Matty please bring a fish tank an test,once the dive or temperature change the body starts to deform the one who mentioned this. "chefproll in post 28 is right"., try it out Matty to verify if this is the case.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matty2345:
I don't think I have a tank or anything large enough to test it under water at work, but I shall try!

Amazon have just delivered my 3rd Z2 tablet... is it 3rd time lucky? Well, it's ok... it's the best out of the 3 I've had so far but perhaps not quite a solid as the other ones from work. Very small amount of movement in the back but nothing major... will see how it goes the next few days!

I also got the Sony SCR12 Style Cover Stand to go with it so hopefully that will keep it safe! If anyone is considering a case I recommend this one, really nice!:)

This thread isn't about your thanks to Sony we are all upset from getting 3 and 4 new z2 tablets having creaking internal sound from the bezel the chassis is not tight or loose over and over with every replacement they given us had the same problems , please edit your post we want Sony to be aware of this thread and so as reviewers , and my device is not bent just the creaking problem, sadly this crack happened yesterday because it fell from the bed .

If I get a new tablet z2 I'll unbox video and water test and show you the creaking crackling chassis bezel problems from their poor engineering with this thin tablet that should have been better if engineers enforced the body in a professional smarter way.

hi guys, i've got the following problem.

i've successfully paired and conected both my r35 and laser keyboard and both work great as long as i'm using just one device, the problem occurs when i try to use both of them at the same time. for example, i'm listening to music on the r35 via tcmp, i turn on the keyboard and my music starts cutting on the r35 until finally it's gone and the keyboard never manages to connect.

any ideas?

My Qmobile A700, also branded as Gionee Gpad G2 elsewhere, is stuck at boot after I installed the Gionee Gpad G2's stock ROM on my phone which was having issues[playstore wasn't working] .

- As I coudn't find A700's stock ROM, I went for Gionee Gpad G2's stock ROM.

- To install Gionee Gpad G2's stock ROM on my A700, I tried flashing by SP-Flash tool, following all the instructions but the flashing never started.

- After that I flashed the Gionee Gpad G2's stock ROM through CWM, by downloading the zip version ; next thing I know, I am stuck at boot :( .

- Have tried Hardresets/format of the system through CWM, no results.

- Since I didn't make backup of any sort, I can't even go back to the Qmobile's original ROM now, which atleast worked for the phonecalls and stuff.

- Though I tried restoring a backup of another working Qmobile A700's by[NANDROID]. Got an error during restoring /system. [No idea why? :/ ]

I may be experiencing something fairly simple but at this point I'm not quite sure what to try since it effects games and certain video playback but not all. There may be a delay in other audio related applications but who would care most of the time, it only matters when there is a visual component.
