I never tested mine before. I took their word. I've dunked it in a hot tub, took it in shower, rinsed it in sink....has always been fine. After reading all this, I downloaded a barometer app (neat because I didn't know it had a barometer sensor!). When I press it, the mbar goes up about 20 (842-860) then drops a few to 854, ending at 835 when released. That indicates it's sealed, leaks a tiny bit when pressed, and then pulls tiny vacuum when released. Seems like a good and legit great overall. Thank you.

Ps, does it have a temp sensor?

And why cannot i use internet and talk at same time? I could on my Samsung S4, which sucked in every way but that.
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Which barometer app did you use
[Xperia Z3 General] AlvinZahran98:
No temperature sensor, as far as I know..
[Xperia Z3 General] AnubuRe:
Mine came back from Sony today for a screen repair. before the pressure test worked and fone was fine under water, did the test today and it failed...I contacted support telling them and they said test means nothing and fone is still water proof, i told them i dont think it is and will test under water and send back if fails.

I did....it did....so i did :eek:

Seemed ok after being in the sink for a few mins, then i booted the camera and noticed it looked misty, looked at lens and was water in inside of lens, then suddenly screen went all funny then blank and wouldn't respond...Turned it off then on a few mins later and it all works fine yet water on inside of lens.

Ive now sent it back to them...I knew by doing water test it would most likely fail but did it with intention of sending it back to them, i want to be able to take pix underwater occasionaly.

So lame they couldn't be bothered to seal it properly after charging me £126 to fix screen :eek: Main reason i sent to them instead of doing it myself was to get it done right with seals working.

Oh Weill
[Xperia Z3 General] FUSiON2992:
Waterproofing in my D6633 seems fine. Pressure increases if the phone is sealed.

Every few days I've been turning on the faucet, putting the phone under it for ~5-10 seconds, making sure every part of it gets wet, then drying it with a towel, and everything still works. I've noticed, however, that the speakers (mostly the right one, where the main microphone is) sound low and muffled until they dry. So don't sweat it if they don't work well right away :)
[Xperia Z3 General] tanago:
has anyone replaced their back cover and kept the waterproofing? any tips for someone who will be doing it after a few days?
[Xperia Z3 General] AnubuRe:
7 days later my fone is returned from Sony AGAIN , before bothering to insert my sim i dialed pressure test and this time it worked, a good sign, duncked it in water for a few mins moving it around and 5hrs later the fone is all working A-OK, looks like i didn't get the "in a rush can't be bothered" guy working on my fone this time :)

A note with fone says "Exchanged handset" but its the same fone cuz i recognize the back (marks) but the IMEI # is diff, that means they changed the MB ?

Peace
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
my wife's phone was cracked front and back. I replaced screen with housing and of course back cover.

Just make sure to remove any old adhesive with lighter fuel (washing fuel? sorry, I'm not native English) and use new original Sony adhesive.

Worked like a charm and pressure test says waterproofing should be good
[Xperia Z3 General] AnubuRe:
Hi Bäcker thx for the thread

Out of intrest where did you get your front screen from?

I wanted to fix\change my own screen but couldn't find an Original Sony screen for less than £100 so thought may as well pay a few more £'s and get Sony to change it.

I did see a lot on ebay anywhere from £30-70 but none were original and i read lots of reports saying the screen were weak and flimsy.

Thx
[Xperia Z3 General] s car go:
Make sure to use a genuine Sony rear cover and not a knock-off. I went through 3 different rear covers from Chinese eBay vendors and it failed the pressure test after each replacement, two of the covers eventually started lifting up. After installing a factory cover, it passed the test.

Now I do have another problem - I replaced the battery at the same time as the most recent rear cover replacement and now my charge isn't lasting as long. I'm thinking I should have followed my advise and ordered a genuine Sony battery (the one I got was labeled as such but who knows). Has anyone here replaced their battery and maintained waterproofing after re-attaching the original back cover?

edit - May have answered my own question as I see now that Witrigs has the adhesive itself. This would probably be a good option to use in conjunction with a knock-off cover to better your chances of keeping waterproofing.
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
Just get genuine parts, the knock offs are not worth the hassle
[Xperia Z3 General] AnubuRe:
s car go Do u have a link for the adhesive plz? I know @ somepoint i wll be needing to change my batt so would like to get the adhesive before hand . Where did you get ur knockOff\listed as genuine batt from? (so i know who to aviod)

[Xperia Z3 General] Sindroid:
Just changed battery and Minijack port on mine myself.. Since no new seal came with the minojack port is no longer waterproof.. :(

Covered the headphone port with my finger and the back cover seal is holding good though.
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
I do the test from time to time an what do you know, no more seal anymore. Turns out the Backcover is not fully adhearing below the camera. So the Z3 is on a trip to the service center right now (still under warranty, so I wont fix & pay myself). Lets see how this turns out.
[Xperia Z3 General] tanago:
Guys, I bought original back cover and after installing my pressure rises with 2-3 millibars and returns for a very short time, do you think its waterproof?
[Xperia Z3 General] NetSkill:
I still cant belive this test because my presure sensor shows the right values also tryed few apps i think i found one of them in this thread both says the phone is waterproof.... when i pour water on the phone it is alright but after an hour or so i see moisture on camera :( so to me this test proves that the phone is 95% sealed

[Xperia Z3 General] RealReznov:
Mine default is 1011.

If i make a pressure, it's increasing to 1013 for a sec, than goes down to 1009 for a sec and then show the 1011.

I can get 1014 if i pressure more.

So i don't know, is my phone waterproof or not?

Edit: With 2 finger, i can reach 115-116.
[Xperia Z3 General] RealReznov:
I dropped it to water and survived :)
[Xperia Z3 General] 0mmand:
Where has been this guide when I drowned the smartphone under the tap last summer?:) It's good i was able to fix it. Now the test shows 995.7 Millibar all the time, with finger pressure or without.
[Xperia Z3 General] gerhardo:
The pressure raises about 0.5 mBar with a gentle push, was a couple of mBar when new. I expect that the water protection has declined.

Any good way to check what fails or should I try replacing the port covers first?

(I have hardly used the covers, magnetic connector used.)

(I men like sealing ports, lanyard, any way to test the screen and back etc)
[Xperia Z3 General] MJ999:
I never dipped my phone in water as I am scared it's going to kill the device.

Also have anyone tried changing the flaps and the waterproofing still works ?

My charger flap broke and ordered a replacement from China website it works fine but I don't think it's waterproof anymore

Occasionally I clean my phone using water but when I check the flaps there is water on the flaps
[HTC One E8] kewllion:
I purchased my E8 (M8sd) in India last month. I rooted it by unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP and SuperSU. I now have a problem with my phone. SIM Slot 1 doesn't work in the US for AT&T even though the frequencies match the Specs for E8. AT&T 3G = 850/1900MHz (bands 2, 5) and HTC One E8 specs say 3G-WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 Mhz with HSPA+ (SIM1).

I didn't save a backup of the stock recovery and now have to restore the phone to original factory spec (stock recovery, remove TAMPERED) before I can send to service center.

Alternatively, does anybody know how to fix my original problem of SIM1 not working in US - tried with AT&T SIM and Airtel SIM with Intl roaming? Both SIMs work in SIM Slot 2. Another friend of mine has the exact same problem and his phone is stock.

I don't have S-OFF (firewater didn't work for me).

How do I flash a RUU zip file? I thought the RUU would be an exe. The zip file is a "Large ZIP" file format and it cannot be opened by 7-zip. Help!
[HTC One E8] ian.anindya:
Be carefull!

That file is not E8 India RUU which is AsiaWWE version but China E8 ruu.

What you need to do to get back factory settings :

1. Go to this link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55979635

2. Download twrp backup for E8 India version and original recovery for E8 India version.

2. Flash with TWRP custom recovery link from point#1.

3. Go to TWRP recovery, make backup to create TWRP folder and reboot system.

4. Copy India version E8 clean TWRP backup that you just downloaded from point #1 into TWRP folder created from point#3.

5. Go to twrp recovery again and do restore India clean twrp backup downloaded from point #1.

6. Make sure before you Restore clean/delete cache, data, system, internal memory (factory format). After restore you need to clean dalvic cache than reboot.

7. Now, you have clean India E8 rom as factory settings.

8. Go to fastboot mode and flash back India E8 original recovery downloaded from point #1 and follow with fastboot reboot bootloader.

9. Lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)

10. Done. Your phone now back to factory settings, locked bootloader with India Rom WWE Asia.

To remove tempered and red warning you need soff and flashRUU modified HBoot from here : http://xdaforums.com/one-e8/development/mod-remove-red-text-splash-screen-e8-t2933752

Also if there is a way to S -off from the Bootloader as methods for S -off need to be with the device running the OS ( as mine does not have can not do ) it would help all they can contribute. if you need any other information.

[Moto X Q&A] Hrhigher:
hey guys, i was wondering if there is a possibility to hack my phone, so my Moto X use the back mic instead the front one?

The reason im asking if someone can help me its because my front mic its totally dead, and thats not the worst part, i went with a dude he say he can fix it, but instead he just stock two of the screws, now, i dont know what to do, and i realize that the back microphone works well, so i was wondering if there is some kind of hack, so the Moto X detects the back mic as the front one, hope you can help me, and sorry for my bad english. :p
[Moto X Q&A] dtg7:
- You sure the front mic is really dead? I didn't understand what you said you tried, but sometimes if people can't hear you the mic might just be clogged and you could try cleaning it, with a swab or compressed air or something.

- You can always fall back on using a headset with a mic, Bluetooth or wired. You could also try speakerphone.

- As for your original question, you might be in luck. Looks like there's a recording app in the play store that claims to be able to pick between front and back mics. The description says:

★ Selectable microphone (front or back/rear)

I haven't tried it myself but you could give it a try. It is a voice recording app, so unless you're really lucky choosing the back mic in the app probably won't carry over to regular calling, but you never know till you try. Try putting the app in the background without closing it, and if that works you can check what happens when you close it.

If that doesn't work don't lose hope. You can try contacting the developer and explaining your situation. He/she/they might be able to help you out.

Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yuku.mp3recorder.lite
[Moto X Q&A] Hrhigher:
It works but....

Yep in fact I already try the front mic and the only thing I get from it, is noise, about the app works great but it's not permanent it's just for sound recording, what I want, it's a way to make the phone believe back mic it's front one, so I can use touchless commands again.
[Moto X Q&A] dtg7:
Front Mic

- Well maybe it's not totally dead, just sick. What is it that you tried? Because if you google around you'll find people have had success cleaning defective mics with toothbrushes, pins, etc. just do it carefully.

- If you have root access on your phone, there is a Nexus 5 build.prop solution that you could try on your Moto X (link below). again, know what you're doing and be careful.

Back Mic

- Yeah guess there's a built in option that devs can use in their apps to change audio source (link below). But it looks like it only works within that app. And unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to trigger the change for entire system.

- That said, it might be possible with root access. The method that comes to mind is using Xposed. I'd suggest putting in a request over at the Xposed section (link below). Looks like someone else had the same idea on reddit (link below).
