It is definitely supposed to be flush against the phone.

I received my phone today and unboxed it.

I immediatley noticed a slightly opened nano SIM slot cover. I tried to push it in but the cover always popps out after a while.

I cleaned it with alcohol to get more friction between the o-ring and the mating surface of the cell phone but it continued to popp out. :(

Looks like they have some issues with the covers and the shape of the o-ring/ packing.

Its definitely not water proof like that so I am sending it back to get a replacement phone.

However, the micro SD slot cover on my phone was flush and tight.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiCZ:
Hi, I have same problem. Cover is popping out slightly immediately after closing and after some time in pocket its usualy almost or completly opened.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozzer2k4:
same problem here, sim card flap keeps popping open, only arrived today from o2, i take it the only solution is to return? :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
yep, this might seriously endanger the water/dustproof thingy.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contracs:
**UPDATE**

I exchanged it and the replacement phone doesnt has the problems.

So if you get your phone, check it first for this failure.

Some have it, some dont.

Ughhh this is kind of crap, I took a risk and bought this phone from a seller outside my country :crying: and Sony Canada won't recognize their warranty. Other than this flap issue I really love it..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bialynia:
Just return it for a refund or exchange, I assume you got it from Clove or Handtec. Sony Canada probably won't start fixing these devices until it is actually released in Canada.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deutscher.bund:
I got it from Never-MSRP (an eBay store). Yeah I just contacted them now, really hope I can settle this without getting hit on any fee.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bialynia:
They're a reliable seller, they'll swap your phone for sure.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deutscher.bund:
Yes I'm working it out with them now :D seems to be very reasonable. Hope my next unit is good.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozzer2k4:
o2 have now replaced my phone, seal is flush against the body :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androgw:
Same problem here exactly!

Returned mine back to the store today, took some time to convince them that there was a problem as the flap takes about 3-4 minutes to pop up out of it's hole and only comes out about 0.5-0.8mm (hardly a lot), but enough to make me concerned about it not being fully waterproof. Apparently it was the first Sony Z3 compact that has this problem, but I'm glad I saw this thread before going back to the shop :)

Eventually the guy said they'll take it and get it repaired and will take 2 weeks to get it back, hopefully all it needs is a new flap.

Glad I took it back though, and hopefully when it returns the flap will stay down, as otherwise it is the best phone I've ever had!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pricey2009:
I had this problem with USB flap, O2 replaced the phone straight away..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FluidDruid:
I had exactly this problem. In my pocket the cover would work its way loose after a few minutes.

I noticed that the stem of the cover was not perpendicular to the short edges of the cover itself, so when closed (with the stem presumably parallel to the screen), one of the long edges would be pushed outwards. I hope that's clear ish. Anyway, bending the stem to be perpendicular to the cover seems to have fixed my problem. I've been using my phone all day, and the cover hasn't come loose once.

I'll keep you all posted as to whether this "fix" keeps working.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planter64:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MK10R:
I've had the same issue as you, but after i bent a bit the flap cover's stem(tiny plastic stem that holds the flap cover between the port's hole and the flap cover), the flap cover was fixed.. you need to check if the stem aren't straight, make it straight, it worked for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocozeta:
FIXED!!!

Hi All,

I was struggling with this problem as well, but after checking the port components and google, I found a URL to Sony Xperia Z Manual for Ultra Model (the SIM port is the same) and found out the issue.

1. The SIM CARD port has a small PLASTIC which contains the Model Number and IMEI, it is a little folder right below the SIM tray.

2. If you cut the edges of this plastic with the model number and push it a little more inside the cover won't pop out anymore and you cand dive your phone safely into water. :laugh:

You can check info about this plastic with model here:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidghost9:
I tried your method and it still seems to pop out. But after I tried the bending thingy fix it stays closed. But I doubt it'll stay that way for long. I think I might go for a replacement. :cowboy:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostitomik:
Have issues with usb/micro sd flap as well, the inside rubber ring is completely loose and falling off the plastic door. I can now close is with some practice, but I guess I will have to order few spare ones on ebay :( don't want to send it to Sony and wait until January because of this... :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androgw:
Flap update...

UPDATE to my previous post (above)....

In case this helps to clarify things for anyone, getting my phone sent for "repair" did not fix my flap issue on my Z3 compact, the store should have known better and have just replaced it, also new replacement flaps that I bought myself did not solve the problem.

I know this because my phone was stolen, and I just bought another one.

My NEW Z3 compact one does not have any issues with it's flaps, and also the replacement flaps I bought fit it perfectly as well, this leads me to conclude that there must have been a first batch with incorrect tolerances used for the flap recesses.

If anyone is worried about buying the phone, don't be, just ask to see the handset out of the box before accepting it, and if the flaps have popped out slightly, or do not stay flush in their recesses/holes when you push them in, do not accept the phone.

Using that rule, I very gladly got the exact same model when I bought a replacement for my stolen one, it really is a great phone :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOVELEE:
Hi All,

I have similar issue with the SIM card cover.

Could you please post a picture what did you bend to solve the issue?

Thank you :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FluidDruid:
I've PMed you, but thought I'd copy my photos here in case they help someone else.

Basically, you want the stalk and the cover to be at right angles to each other, as shown by the red lines I've overlayed on my photos.

If they aren't, you can gently bend the stalk at the point at which it meets the cover (the green dot in my photos), until they are.

My phone had the SD cover stalk quite badly bent, so in the second image, my cover was at an angle to the rest of the phone until I bent it back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonyZ3:

Help z3 Compact SIM cover Loose

I didnt get the explanation.

Could anyone help me using an easy english? :D (im from Brazil)

Wanna fix the z3 Compact sim cover loose issue! Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
Hello gents and ladies

I have recently bought the xperia z3 compact and out of the box I noticed that the Sim flap would not stay completely flushed. Pressing onto it would keep it flushed for about 2-5 mins but it would slowly become unflushed again. Mine however was very minimum, as only about 1 mm of the sealing rubber can be seen. But I have a solution for it and it has worked wonderfully without sending the unit back to Sony.

Disclaimer: Bend at your own risk

Solution: Bending the black plastic stick that connects the flap to the phone.

1st- You must determine which way the gap is flushing out from. (Mine opened upwards toward the LCD Front)

2nd - Bend the black plastic stick so that the "V" that it forms points to the opposite way of the open flap. You don't have to bend too hard, just enough to bend it and "soften" up the plastic (In my case, the "V" formed from bending would be pointing towards the back cover)

3rd - Close flap and it should stay flush.

Good luck to everybody and hope this helps you solve your problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EggHelicopter:
You sir/madam, are a legend. I was getting sooooooooooooo annoyed with having to constantly push the SIM cover back on. I first bought a new cover, same problem. I tried trimming the SIM tray, sanding the rubber with a nail file, and was contemplating cutting out the serial number plastic thing. However this very simple solution is the first one that's worked. Think I'll have to try this on the original cover (the one I didn't file) to see if it works too.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a 2nd hand Universal and so I found a guy selling it for what I find a very good price... but the catch is that he says it won't be able to connect to 3G networks:

these are refurbished and we made sure that phone will work with all networks (except 3G).

What I wanted to ask is: how could this be possible? how would it be able to connect to standard 2G networks and not 3G? would it be a software issue? Would I be able to fix that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Midget_1990:
hmm, i dont think its possible that the 3g is broken but the 2g isnt, as afaik they are the same chip. however it is common knowledge that universals wont work with the phone operator '3' (unless you have a very old sim card) o perhaps this is where the confusion is, best bet is to ask the seller.

Hope this was of some help

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shriek:
Thanks.... That's what I thought... Since he is a UK seller he is probabily talking about UK Operators... here in Portugal we don't have problems with using unlocked phones bought from other operators.. even though Vodafone do use newer CompV2 SIM cards (though I still have a old CompV1)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Midget_1990:
I must have been misinformed, i was under the impression that 3 used different sim-cards and so couldnt be compatable with non-3 phones.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzlwomp:
I'm trying to figure out exactly what you lose when you unlock Z3(C).

So far I've discovered that:

- Sony has a webpage that allows you to unlock your device

- Unlocking your device will void your warranty

- Unlocking is the only known way to get root (at least right now)

- Unlocking your device will kill the "TA partition" that contains DRM keys

- Loss of the aforementioned DRM keys will cause some stuff to stop working

I found a huge thread on backing up TA partition for older xperia devices, but no good information RE: what exactly you lose if you wipe out the DRM keys by unlocking.

Do any of you know definitively: what the DRM keys are for and what you lose?

As an aside - it looks like backing up TA partition is only possible before you unlock bootloader and if you've rooted your phone (so probably not possible on Z3C until someone finds a working exploit to get root with a locked bootloader).

Thanks in advance for any insights.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tilal6991:
I don't think there is a definitive place which says exactly what you lose by unlocking the boot loader but judging by what people having been saying after unlocking the Z3C and other Xperia phones on 4.4 it seems like the answer is nothing. Nothing is lost on the software side at all.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
On the z1c I neglected to back up the TA partition. And apparently lost native mirror cast and some camera features when I rolled the device back to stock.

Back up your TA partition before unlocking BL... If not for the I'm tact features turn for your warranty!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

Those that have rushed into unlocking the BL without backing up the TA partition risk voiding warranty I'm afraid.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiMiN8R:
Problem is, you need root to use those backup tools... So we would need a temp root exploit to backup before unlocking. But from what I've read so far, it doesn't seem like you lose that much, if anything.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
I am also curious about this as I need root access but would like to preserve the warranty. Somebody else has also started a thread with what breaks with unlocking: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2890936
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
Most important consideration is your warranty such if your happy to lost it then unlock your BL.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiMiN8R:
It's not that definitive that you will lose warranty. Sony says it may void your warranty. Known issues with the specific model or batch, or other hardware problems that could not be caused by flashing custom ROMs/kernels will most likely still be covered.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony...oader-unlock-tool-voids-your-warranty_id32972

I myself have sent in my Xperia T twice since unlocking the bootloader and on both occassions it was covered by the warranty.

Mind you, I did relock the bootloader and flash a stock FTF before doing that.

Flashtool has a function to relock the bootloader

http://www.digitalinternals.com/mobile/keeping-warranty-intact-sony-xperia-unlocked-phones/264/

I don't know if this works on our phone already, maybe someone who has already unlocked would like to try?

There are many sources on the internet that claims that UAG does not have hole for the microphone near the lower right corner of the phone, and that you must drill the phone yourself in order for it to work.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Used to be true when it was first released. They fixed it a long time ago.

That was true on early Note 3 UAG Cases but UAG fixed them. I ordered one off the UAG website about 3 months ago and mine has the hole for the Sensor. It should be fine now.

my early note 3 was missing a sensor hole, not a mic.

either way, they sent me TWO cases to replace my messed up one, let me choose the colors, and let me keep the messed up one.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] muena90:
I have the case, and the hole isn't missing.

But I often removed the cover and one day the small fillet of the bezel at the volume button broke.

I had the luck that it was repaired for free (I said it broke when i pulled it out of my pocket).

So I'm currently looking for another cover...

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Those arrows don't have effect on battery I don't believe. You know on the modem there's an up and down light? Its just letting you know that you are sending and receiving internet/data from the router so you know your getting internet to your tab (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Its a thing they put on android while in apple devices its not there. As of battery life I am rooted and had better battery life since I installed a new ROM. You can check your data usage in settings → connections → data usage and also more about what's taking up your battery life in settings → general → battery. Hope this helps!
