Yes, I showered it, soaped it, shampoo it, took underwater pics, took it underwater

And nothing went wrong

Safely take your phone underwater

If anything goes wrong, I personally replace my Z1 by yours!!

Here is my shoot with Xperia Z1 underwater (Sea water).

Those are my nephew excited to have underwater picture with my phone :D

There is no damage on my phone, no malfunction, everything is perfect. Camera is not fogged and etc.

I wash it in clear water after using it in sea, and you only need to let it dry about 20minutes to speaker gets dry so i can play music.

You can listen music moment you pull it out of water, but its dimmed because of water.

If I Cracked My Screen,And Put on it A Glass Screen Protector,Is It still waterproof?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enadhamady:
So Should I Try?Cause It May a while Till i Fix It..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaeedFazlollahzadeh:
If the break is just on the screen and it's just on the surface, it's still water proof

For example, using knife instead of pen, cracks your screen but it's still water proof

But if the screen is broken, for example fell from 10th floor, so it's no more water proof

Sorry for my bad English and bad telling

I wish you got my mean

Otherwise, I can tell you in another way

I wouldn't risk it with your screen like that tbh...

That's just my opinion though
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
I wouldn't risk it either. If water enters the phone and it breaks, it won't be covered by the warranty as Sony would blame it on the cracked screen and they would propably be right!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enadhamady:
Maybe You Right,but even if i putted on my cracked screen a glass Screen Protector,It won't Help?

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Yeah You Are Right But The Screen Protector Won't Help?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
No one can guarantee it, even with the protector.

The damage is visible, so you can't say to Sony "I didn't know that there was a defect which led to water entering the phone".

If there would be a defect (especially if it wasn't your fault) which is not visible and the phone gets damaged, your chances for warranty are much higher.

If my phone had this crack, I wouldn't put it into or near water anymore! As sad as it seems, put I would treat it like any other NON WATERPROOF phone from this point onwards.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enadhamady:
Thanks For The Help Mate,I'll Take Your Advice,Better,And Thanks again:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crixley:
Waterproofing works on an airtight seal, and that crack makes me doubt your phone would still be considered as such.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
Well, here is my experience with xperia z1.

As I already had two of them I must say that I'm disappointed, the flap for the mini jack from Z was much better.

The Z1 is water resistant, no damage happened, however in the first z1 I had to wait an hour after putting it under water (for 10sec) to bring back the functionality of mini jack.

In my second z1 the mini jack was working immediately after putting it into water (for 1sec),however taking a shower resulted in not working mini jack for few minutes. Then it still had problems and the sound kept switching from headphones to speaker but when it dries out it's working normally.

Sent from Xperia Z1, or maybe not anymore
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlShannons:
Even sony says mini jack has to dry for around 2 hours so..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:

Hewever I still think that the flaps from Z were much better, we won't listen to music underwater anyway.

I'm going to Cancun next month, just wondering can I bring it to snorkeling under seawater? I tested the waterproof under clear water is fine. I shower with it, soaked it in bucket of water, did ice bucket challenge, wash it very often when the phone is getting really hot while playing 3D games or navigation. I'm afraid it will die from seawater n my phone is from Singapore n I live in new York, don't think Sony in new York will fix it...

[HTC Droid DNA] masterj1337:
Hello All,

Yesterday I tried to flash a ViperROM 3.5 onto my DNA after trying NuSense a few days back and not liking it and its bugs. When installing the ROM through the recovery AROMA installer said "Error (status 7)" Installation failed. Tried to reboot and it just keeps going straight to recovery.

Things I have tried to fix this.

Mounting SD in recovery to put a new ROM.zip. (SD card does not mount when I click mount CWM 6.0.3.1)

ADB (I would assume this isn't working because I don't have a ROM to enable USB Debugging)

Fastboot (to flash a new recovery that will allow me to mount SD will not work says waiting for devices just like adb) Although oddly enough once I plug in the USB it says "Fastboot USB" on my device.

I have tried installing every windows 8.1 fastboot and ADB driver out there, the most current one I tried is nocturnal fastboot.

I am at a loss for what I can do for my next step besides send it back to HTC or get a new phone. Please help me if you can. I feel like there has to be a way around this because I can still access recovery. Let me know if there is any info you need.

I made a backup a week ago, but it's more than a month since last time i used the hotspot. I think the problem is in the backup too. I also copied the files inside the folder "wifi" but when i put them back it's the same, nothing is working.

I've deleted the folder and reboot the phone, now wifi is working but when i try to make a hotspot still doesn't work and it brokes wifi.

Thanks for the help, now i'm going to bed it's 2.50 am here. I'll try again when i wake up.

you can flash L, then any other ROM you want after, from 444. I don't know about philz, but using twrp, you can wipe you system, which makes your phone romless until you flash another ROM. so you can flash 444, then flash L, then flash 441(if you wanted to).

I flash L via recovery, not via system image. it makes it much easier going back and forth :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorianmayers:
This is what I'm getting now since it updated just after Google i/o. I don't even know how to stop it. My battery has gone from 1+ days of usage to just about 16 hours with no other change. No new apps nothing. And these screenshots were taken after a reboot so I would imagine I'd have well over 1000 wakelocks from this thing. What's more look at the time stamps on the second and third images. Taken 7 minutes apart but I have 21 wakelocks in that short space of time.

Compare that to the wakelock crazy Facebook with only 11 in that same space of time. I don't even know what to do about this. Has never been this bad in my 2 months of owning the phone.

Any advice or recommendations to fix this? It's driving me crazy.

Also:

No I have no new apps.

No I didn't flash anything else.

My kernel was the same this entire time.

The phone gets mad hot for no reason.

Tried wakelock terminator on it but it only made it not want enter deep sleep all together.
