Might help someone...are any of you using a micro SIM created by yourself (from a regular SIM)?
I also had a problem with bad fit of the back cover. In my case it was caused by my own stupidity not trimming down the height of the SIM enough which made it impossible for the back cover to make a perfect fit. Took me a couple of minutes before I realized it...
Mine perfect too!
mine is good 2
case loose for me right near the camera button too, sad face :/
Perfect fit here.
But what do you mean by loose, does it move ?
or is there a inimini tiny gap between the top and the cover.

I tried to remove the cover , it didnt work. Also trying to fit the cover perfectly in its place is not working . Nothing is broken and every thing is ok .
Do you have the same ?
Oh , btw the creaks are in the left side of the cover only.
Not cracks, i think some how you mean

How long have you been using your device ?
Have you talked to Sony about this ? What did they tell you ?
Do you think it could be replaced with a new one ?

I've also been experiencing the same thing, at first I thought the back cover was just loose but now I'm not sure? Glad to see I'm not the only on.e
Someone mentioned elsewhere they simply stuck a few layers of tape on the inside of the cover, and that solved the problem.
I had to do the same with my Neo. I filled every single opening in the back with small bits of paper to stop the creaking, and it fixed all of it
Not much you can do about it, it's just something that happens with almost all plastic non-unibody phones.

No crank noises here!
Hey guys,
I wrote this in the Q&A section and I think this could be interesting for some of you..
If your bottom cover is broken or makes some stupid noises you can simply replace it.. You can buy replacement covers at ebay and also other sites, for example:
http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Bu...T26i-SO-02D-/170872807890?var=#ht_4332wt_1163
http://www.handyersatzteilshop.de/a...+Cover+black+Sony+XPERIA+S+LT26i_3409642.html (german site)
To replace the bottom cover you have to follow these steps:
1. Pull the bottom cover a bit so that there is a little gap between the transparent strip and the cover.
2. Unlock the clips with your fingernails or a guiter pick.. Try to keep pulling the cover while you do this
3. Go all the way around until all the clips are unlocked.. Start at front left or right side
4. The replacement cover can be simply attached by pushing it over the naked end of the phone
See my attached pictures below
Good luck
MisterG
ps: for best results use a light guitar pick (mine was 0.60mm)
Really needed this guide. Pretty much made my bottom cap ugly when it fell and now there's a nasty bump on the edge. This should help. Though do you think the prices for the bottom cap will come down significantly? If it won't, I will be highly inclined to buy it now though it seems a bit on the costly side.
I don't know.. You're right - it's just a small piece of plastic but there's a xperia logo on it so it costs what it costs Maybe there are some non original covers but I haven't seen any yet..

Would be nice if more colours was available.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I want to replace mine, but the reason isn't so bad so I can hold off until more parts become available...
How hard to you have to pull the cap to make a gap? Quite a lot of force? because that is the part that scares me the most, haha pulling apart by baby :fingers-crossed:
Don't pull too hard The cover doesn't move very much anyway.. You only have to get a small gap to put something into, like a guitar pick (or any other flexible piece of something) Without pulling I wasn't able to get my pick placed, so if you do: well done

Pull your cover off, grab a spray can in your favorite color and spray it Just joking - don't blame me if something goes wrong^^ Seriously: I don't think that there will be other colors than black and white in the future
Thanks Much needed guide for because of my clumsy girlfriend.
Thanks for the guide!
Just to be precise, there are only 2 clips on the front. The middle one looks like a guide, it's definitely not a clip
Cheers
I just received my cover from spareparts.
I had to wait 2 weeks because they didn't have stock but once they did, it took about 3 days to arrive to Canada where I live.
The cover feels and looks the same so that's a relief.
I dropped my phone and it cracked so I had to get a new one.
Cheers!

You will get full housings on eBay but I guess you better take that to the service center as the display is fixed with the upper panel so repairing it by yourself could see you playing with fire with a delicate device. Sounds nasty though
What happens is that theres no Sony official center in my country so I don't know what to do is real ugly really? I think there's just really tight cause I saw a video where they show the battery and so

I could remove the cover using my nails (and they are not very long...) - no need for a guitar pick...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I already mentioned that it's possible to use your fingernails.. Advantage of a guiter pick is that it can be left sticked in while turning the phone freely if you have to alter your hand's position

Check the links in my first post... There is also this website http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/ where you can get nearly everything..
By the way.. Maybe we can attach new colored bottom covers soon when the xperia sl is released.. This model is meant to be a refresh of our XS with some slightly changed hardware specs but the size should be equal.. So next time purple/blue or pink bottom cover?^^

ps: don't take this too serious the images were reported to be fake
can i remove the cover and put it back again?
mine just make some noise...
Nice one, just put an order in for a replacement, gonna spray it a custom colour
Thank you for this guide. I dropped my phone and the only scratch was on the bottom right corner - it was driving me crazy. I got the part quickly from sparepart.dk even though I'm in California and they ship from Denmark. Phone looks like the day I got it.
Nice to hear that I could help you

I dont know where you can get that, but I have included the complete XS repair and replacement guide which I think you may need.
My brand new Xperia Tablet Z taps randomly, though home and return seems to be the favorites, making the tablet rather useless for browsing and the like.
Tried restoring and deleting everything, it still acts up. Didn't start doing it unti after about 2 hours of usage.
Hope you get what I mean - could almost seem like some kind of remote control malware has found it's way in.
are you using any cover ? could be its too tight and flexing the tab.

I'm actually using a cover provided by the Sony Centre where I bought the tablet. The tablet is fixed with some adhesive tape.
I'm just having a hard time getting why the cover would force the tablet to flex enough for the touch screen to react?!

I am using a fake s view and I only get that problem when I squash the flip cover against the back all the way.
Bear in mind the magnet sensor is at the bottom left of screen
So is there away to disable the sensor temporarly
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The magnet in the cover must be too powerful.
You need to get a.better case or not fold flat on to the back
One of my friend is also using the same and its touch is working very fine. No problems with cover and sensor of the phone.
Finally i fix the problem.... I back the cover to the shop and replaced it with a working cover... Thanks all

I have the same problem too.
So, is that a design flaw or is it a defective unit?

Anyone else having physical problems with their Z2?
As of a few weeks ago, I've started noticing that the top right corner of the back panel of my Z2 popping up slightly (like 2mm to 3mm) several times a day and I would have to press it back down. The cover on the USB/SIM area will also mysteriously be open sometimes when I fish the phone out of my pocket even though it does still feel quite firmly closed once I put the cover back in place.
I went down to my local Sony service centre and they said that they will rectify the issues for me and might replace the "loose" flap too (also told me to avoid water since it's not waterproof with the back like that) - but it would take 7 working days and that I should call their helpline to check if there was any issue for me sending my set in as it has an unlocked BL.
Seems like the original Z had the same problem with the back cover - http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/08/0...ose-back-panels-water-resistance-compromised/ and the loose flaps issue isn't new either (but the rubber seals on mine look perfect).
Flash a stock kernel and relock your bootloader, few people actualy check these days for DRM keys however they do check rarely for your bootloader status
And your physical problems are totaly abnormal so try very hard to get a replacement

for the flap problem, easy easy fix. Get some silicone grease at your hardware store or wherever. Take a lil and moisturise the flaps' rubber, works like a charm. Seems like the seal just dries out.

I just tried it and it seems to make the flap come loose more easily. Looking at the flap, it seems to pop open because of insufficient friction between the seals and the socket for the flap...

I just applied this - http://www.wd40specialist.com/products/silicone-lubricant/) - thinly using a q-tip. No worries. Wasn't too expensive and it could be closed again once I cleaned it off. Tried a slightest touch of hair gel (I was desperate...LOL) and that didn't work too well either.
I guess I'll just try to relock the BL and feign ignorance and send it in for "hardware faults" even though the bored sounding helpdesk lady on the phone said that the warranty is voided.

Genuinely quite disappointed with the niggling faults that the phone has. Random freezes and self-reboots and WIFI issues on my Z2 and my dad's Z1 is making me lose confidence in Sony to deliver a solid all-round device. It's a really beautiful phone with a wonderful camera but compared to build quality and software stability my previous HTC M7 (converted to a GPE ROM) which was essentially bulletproof and could have months and months of uptime without a reboot...ugh.

For me, the flaps are good, and the back panel on the edges doesn't seem to pop up or to be misaligned with the edge, but on a light press on a few places it feels like the back panel is loose, and you can hear a small "tactile" feedback when pressed.
Should i get it checked or is it just a little hollow on these few places? For me that's the spot a little to the left and bottom of the SONY logo on the back, in height of the volume rocker.

I kinda semi-fixed the loose flaps by cleaning off the accumulated dust around the edges of the seal and the covered area...doesn't seem to fall out as often now.

I've received my new USB flap and the issue is fixed, the new flap is not loose. It was not due to the phone body as I feared but a premature wear of the flap...
Anyway, I don't recommend to open the flap but in exceptional circumstances. Transferring files wireless and charging phone with magnetic port should be the rule and recommended by Sony.

To be honest, it's just the hassle of having to wait a week (and having to go back to my HTC M7) or so for them to get it fixed. Plus my set might not be accepted by them as the BL is unlocked (towelroot came too late for me unfortunately )
I do intend to send it in for repairs (also dinged the flap a little, might as well get that swapped out too) some time soon as the loose back is really REALLY bugging me.
My god I have the same problem. Everytime I pull it out of my pocket the flap is out. Damn this phone was perfect . I cleaned soo ****ing well and the USB flap stays in more time but its still poping out.
