It was an issue before 6.0 had it happen from launch day on the nexus 6 with 5.0 using a TGSP from Xtremeguard. They eventually replaced it after sending me 4 that wouldn't work with one that had a proper cutout for the proximity sensor and the problem went away.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] perveeus:
I'm beginning to think it's more & more a Marshmallow issue as folks with N5/6/6P are reporting this:

Doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference for me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rdmetz:
Well as I stated before this exact same issue has been happening before the marshmallow update. Just because people are having the issue now on marshmallow doesn't mean it's a marshmallow issue... Like I said lollipop on Nexus 6 with TGSP from XtremeGuard gave the exact same issue only rectified by new TGSP with proximity cutout. Both mine and my brothers Nexus 6 experienced this day one of launch last year.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
I have been using skinomi without the cutout with no problems. I don't want a a replacement either since it works and looks better without it.

I don't know why people made such a big deal about the cutouts since my N6 didn't have them on my Spigen protectors and they worked great.

Question came to my mind if it is possible to use Sony TV control to open electric gate to my yard.

Would be fantastic.

IMAO it is question of used frequencies, eventually codes to open/close gate.

Any experiences/ideas from anyone?

Hey guys! Laurent from Toast here. We just started crafting pre-orders for the Nexus 6P, and they'll begin shipping this Thursday: http://www.toastmade.com/products/nexus-6p.html

Please let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy your Toasted 6P!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SlapHappy!:
Are these just skins or actual covers?

Do they offer any protection to the phone?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
[MENTION=7067410]SlapHappy![/MENTION] They're adhesive skins not unlike dBrand or SlickWraps (except they use real wood instead of simulated vinyl). Bottom line: they only protect against bumps and scrapes; they offer no impact resistance like a TPU or hybrid case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vagelis:
May I humbly point out that your front panels are blocking out the proximity sensor. There are a lot of first wave glass protectors that had to be redesigned to avoid covering it. A quick amazon search can point out where it is and how to avoid that on your excellent looking product. Thank you for reading.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LAURCORE:
Thanks for clarifying! I will add that Toast is laser cut and handcrafted from sustainably grown, North American hardwoods, and they're just shy of 1mm in thickness. You'd be amazed how well they protect, and they add much needed grip. Also, cases are prone to getting sand and other debris inside which can scratch the device. :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LAURCORE:
Thanks for pointing that out, but luckily we caught it shortly after posting, and we'd yet to send the cut file back to production. You can see from the preview images that there's a cutout for the proximity sensor: http://www.toastmade.com/products/nexus-6p.html

[Xperia Z5 General] Sindregars:
Hello, this is my first time posting on this forum, great forum!

Now to my issue!

Bought gold version 3 weeks ago and on this sunday the frosted backglass cracked by it self, or atleast with no fall to the ground.

(Would love to post picture of the crack but XDA has 10 post rule, comming soon)...

This happend, i guess in my front pocket while driving for less than 20 min, i'm 100% that is was not cracked before i left. i did a web search to check if this may be an reported problem. only other source i could find was an comment on theverge.com but their phone had a similar type of crack as mine had and it cracked without abuse.

So im wondering, do other people have this problem?

I just sendt my phone to get serviced on warrenty, but as broken glass usally get dismissed as user error, i want to get other stories like mine to back up my claim as production error.

If others have this similar crack, please post about it, a picture would help and tell shortly how it happend. Thank you.
[Xperia Z5 General] bplogan:
I did have this issue with my Z3, not dropped, but a giant big crack did appear.

I sent in for warranty to the 3rd party company that handles it here in Australia (can't remember their name but they weren't very good) and no surprise they said no to a warranty.

I hope this doesn't happen to my Z5!!!
[Xperia Z5 General] Carphedon:
I already know 2 more cases of Z5 with cracked back without any further fall damage. Most of these cases are after playing a game for a while or doing something else that heats up the phone a lot. I know i am never buying a sony ever again. This has been a problem ever since the first Z serie came out all sony does is pull out a big fat middle finger.
[Xperia Z5 General] LitoNi:
Has been a Problem with any glass back cover on any phones. Slap on a screen protector and youre good to go.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sindregars:
just use a screen protector? won't help with self cracking. i'ts a 700+ dollar device. it should not do that. but yea, glass may crack sometimes. but Sony knows that the glass have cracked in earlier phones, should have learned to avoid that, though on the Z5 it seems like they have tried to make the glass more protected against fall damage.
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Had Z, Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z5. No cracked glass, back or front.
[Xperia Z5 General] LitoNi:
dont underestimate a piece of plastic, you have no idea how many times that piece of plastic sheet saved my phones from cracking. I dropped my original Z Nth times and it didnt even crack/scratch a bit. There is another purpose for screen protectors other than preventing the screens from scratching.
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisftlse:
Same here... Very good experience with XZs phones and never faced a cracked without drop ;)

Not Lucky guy you are :(
[Xperia Z5 General] Sindregars:
Yes, a screen protector will help against fall damage. but when it cracks by it self, it's not that usefull. And my last phone (Z3) needed to faceplant a concret floor to crack the screen. so that the Z5 is cracking without falling is not the same case.

Anyway, Talked with Sony's Nordic support team. They said that my type of crack, "Hairline crack" should be coverd by Warrenty. But with a 3 party repair firm, they may say otherwise. my phone just arrived this morning. Will update status.
[Xperia Z5 General] cocagenda2:
i really feel sry for u man but i can tell u from my experiance ,that i never had such problem...i had xperia Z(my mother still using it),Z2(my brother also has it) and now Z5 and i was playing games alot and all the phones were hot while playing intensively but never cracked back panel i really dont know how that happend to u...maybe ur just unlucky or so :(
[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:
That looks like a crack by external force in small areas creating the ripples. Kinda interesting that the crack goes past the lens cover in plastic in a straight line. Almost like it is photoshopped considering the cracking line on the SONY logo and how it goes over and under with no separation and that it seems to have different resolution vs phone when zoomed in..

Neverthless the same was heared with previous Z models and looking at many of the photos it was evident that both cracking and bending was by user and external force applied. Everyone is innocent they say.. mmm well..
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Why glass anyway?

Does anyone know why Sony even bothered to use glass for the rear? I mean, it looks like plastic, feels like plastic and even sounds like plastic when you tap it.

Is it just to prevent scratching?
[Xperia Z5 General] Miroslav.Cvejic:
The like to use "premium" materials for their flagship phones.

Glass feels expensive, feels premium.
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
I said it looks, sounds and FEELS like plastic. Sorry, not getting the premium vibe there...

Phone's sweet though. No complaints except I should've gotten the green one.
[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:
Out of curiosity. The ones that have cracked backsides, do you use the phones vibrate function a lot? Wondering becouse it is really strong and might create oscillation waves that maybe weakens the Dragonglass.
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
What are you insinuating?
[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:
That glass is sensitive to oscillating vibrations and might make it more pron to break in certain conditions.
[Xperia Z5 General] F_Spindel:
Woke up to this little surprise.

The Phone was lying on my table over night (not loading or anything).

[Xperia Z5 General] LitoNi:
seems like all these issues are just the back, also, users don't have screen protectors on it. Just pointing out the "obvious." just dropped my phone from waist height on to the wooden floor and the screens didn't crack at all nor are there any dents. thank god to the screen Ps. Don't get why you guys are so against screen Ps......

glass crack because of heat and the external temperature, this is called "stress cracks." Why is the back cracking most often? because there is more heat produced on the back than the front. and sorry guys we don't live in an era where glass don't crack, live with it or prevent it.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sindregars:
Don't have anything against sp's, i like peeling of the plastic on new stuff, sp's resembles that so in my case I will peel it of after a couple of days. anyhow, i don't think a sp would have helped my crack or F_spindels. if there is a problem with the production of the Z5, the glass will break, SP or not.

wooden floors are not that hard of a surface to hit, never broken a screen on wooden floors. Tiles and concrete have been killers in the past for me.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sindregars:
hehe, i don't think that is an issue. as the vibrations are short. i think the glass need to be exposed over a period of time to hit the right frequency. interesting theory though :)

Z5 backpanel cracked in my hand

G'day,

Never posted before, but I felt I had to, after my 3day old Z5 Compact back panel cracked across the corner near the camera lens.

It was in my hand when I turned it over to look at the back panel and it was cracked. I can guarantee it wasn't cracked when I picked it up. Sony wont cover it under warrantee. Cost $88.00 to repair. Had no choice I need it for work. So to those of you who claim you have never had a cracked panel, you've been lucky.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheCraig:
If you don't mind paying something like £10 for a new back cover (I recently bought a new one for £3 for my Z1) then you could replace it yourself, it is literally a matter of pulling the back cover off with a hair dryer and suction cup, removing the glue from the sides of the phone then reapplying a new one (which should have glue on it already)
[Xperia Z5 General] TheWarKeeper:
And voiding the phone warranty meanwhile...

Do NOT do this guys unless you want to be without warranty.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheCraig:
Chances are Sony won't even honour the warranty with a cracked back cover, they will assume it was accidental and refuse because of a drop or some ****.

Besides, how the **** would they know??? There are no tags/anything to suggest a back cover has been replaced, the only thing you could potentially **** up is it may not be IP68 certified anymore.
[Xperia Z5 General] josephnero:

[Xperia Z5 General] abj2aqua:
Just managed to break the back on my less than 3 w/o Xperia Z5 dual when it fell from knee height, even though it was inside a case. Back is totally shattered. Any idea as to how much a replacement would cost? And if possible, any links to be able to buy the glass from a third party source and apply it ourselves?
[Xperia Z5 General] Jonathan-H:
This old chestnut again. Always with Sony phones, smear campaign maybe?

They don't crack themselves, that is just fantasy talking.

I've dropped my Z5 three times from waist height and no damage yet on wood floor. Which is lucky as i'm selling it come new year lol.

Maybe if you drop a phone and two days later the glass cracks, might believe that, but still highly doubtful.

Screen protectors are always the way to go, even if they "break themselves" as the screen protector will prevent it.
[Xperia Z5 General] Xplay21:
I have a new less than a month old Xperia Z3. And stories like this traumatize me. So far ive been using this phone intensively with the camera, heavy games, youtube, social media etc. And sometimes it does overheat a lot like near the sony logo at the back. Thankfully i haven't encountered the self cracking issue. However before buying the phone i do recall many stories of peoples phones cracking by itself. Is there anyway to prevent it beside not using your phone as intended lol..

EDIT: i do recall a blog claiming that the glass cracking issue is more prone to the newer production phones. So for example those produced in 2015 wont be as prone to cracking as the 2014 phones are.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
In Taiwan I went to the Sony service center to get my camera lens replaced due to the left blur problem. I overheard them say to others with broken screens that a screen replacement costs 5100 NTD (approximately 155 USD), and a back repair costs 1000 NTD (about 30$ USD). I have tempered glass on the front and film protector on the back. I'm more worried about the lens scratching as I noticed prior to sending it for repair, that the lens was stating to exhibit a few tiny scratches...
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
My Xperia Z had this problem. The back cracked by it's own. Search up "Xperia Z back cracked by it's own" and you will find many results.

If I were you, I would try to send the device back to your retailer. I buy my devices off of eBay and just send it back to them.

Hi all, I have just resolved a dispute with vodafone about a cracked rear glass on sony Z5. 2 months old and a crack appeared out of know where, sent it off to be repaired, heard this morning that it was outside of warrantee cover, I contacted them and stated that anything under 6 months and the onus is on them to prove I damaged it....fell on deaf ears....asked to escalate the issue..next level (manager of customer services) 15 mins of arguing asked to escalate...next level, 15 mins arguing they offered £50 off a £147 repair, not satisfactory, escalated....next level, resolution centre.....reasonable chance to explain my position and how wonderful they were during my 15+ years with them...they offered £75 off repair, unacceptable, asked to escalate again..hold on sir...came back with £100 offer off of repair, didn't accept, I asked to please escalate again....she came back...ok as a gesture will carry out the repair and told me how happy good and happy were to accommodate me !!!!! It look about an hour to sort out and many frustrating "on hold" periods...my advice is understand your consumer rights, mention local trading standards and consumer rights 2015 and ombudsman, and don't think you have come up against a brick wall until you escalate it right up to the resolution centre.... best of luck all....

If I knew how to post a picture I would..!
[Xperia Z5 General] Jolene:
My Z5 back also cracked , i did drop it from about a height of 5cm onto a wooden floor by accident but i didnt even know that the back was glass otherwise i would have had a screen protector, when you buy the phone you get a screen protector for the front, why dont they give you one for the back ? , seems like its just a money making story

i also noticed that certain apps even just being on facebook makes the back very hot and im sure this is not good for a phone with a glass back
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Mine didn't came with a screen protector, but I use hardened glass protectors from devilcase.

The back of the phone feels a bit hot sometimes and that's a good thing because otherwise there wouldn't be good contact between the chip and the heatsink.

We have a huge heatsink (huge for a phone) and that's the heat u feel.

This is not bad at all.

50°c is a normal temperature for our chips.

But Imagine warm water at 50°c and put your hands in it, it will make an uncomfortable feeling to your hands.

So when our chip is at 50°c. And u can still hold it in your hand (while feeling the phone is a bit hot) the heatsink already dissipate a lot of heat before it reaches your hand and therefore does its job because performance would suffer without heatsink.

Also, the glass won't crack from this heat because it is hardened glass which is resistant against heat (around 250°c with ease) and will only crack when temperature very quickly goes up or down.

Like flaming a torch on it or put in freezer when phone is hot, this is where your glass wants to start cracking.

Or - obviously - when u drop it.

Hardened glass is strong against pressure, but weak against impacts.

Hope this clears something up for some people :)

Sony is DISGUSTING!

This issue, is just disgusting, well what Sony's replies are to it.

I have had my rear glass fixed 3 times, by Sony, and all 3 times, it cracks again, original body and not a scratch or dent anywhere on the phone.

One thing that is another HUGE issue here is, once the cover is repaired, even by Sony, it is not waterproof anymore. Possibly SONY knew they could not keep the phone waterproof on multiple times in the water, and created the "self cracking - almost indestructible glass" to cover their asses??

Why not use a steel back, that is indestructible, would cool down the phone better, and i have never seen steel leak???
[Xperia Z5 General] DjLiLaLRSA:
OfficialTEC is such a liar. More cases about this than can be ignored. YET SONY IGNORES IT. Oh but the sales dropped quite a lot as well...
