Hi,
I bought my Xperia S one week ago, it was perfect.
now when i press the back cover with my finger , it creaks and makes sounds .
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
Creaks not cracks..
And mine is fine.

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.

Hi people!
My Xperia Neo creaks when I press the left side (the side that has no buttons).
-Is it normal?
thank you
Mine too, the left chrome panel can be pushes about .2 mm's to the inside.
Mine too,
I thought I was the only one, 'cuz my aunt has the same phone and it didn't _creak_. Why?!
It does not matter but I just wanted to know if I have a conception problem only on my Neo or not, apparently no.
Same here :/
Cheap ass plastic :/
Same here...but creaks from three sides- left, right and back(very little sound). And this same problem Neo v is facing also. I think its because of the green heart eco friendly thing.

You can easily remove the chrome side panels, so maybe put some glue on it/a little bit of oil and no more creaks.
got same here with my Neo V...
got the same here but placed a small piece of paper between the chrome panel and the phone body ... and no more creaks
Yes i have this problem too and i solve this problem like fire-warrior and now everythink is ok =))

Oh gosh... I just did the same as you, thank you! Bye _creaks_! <3 Well, the volume buttons creaks as well, but, it's different..
I did exactly the same about a week after I got my Neo Every little place that creaked is stuffed with small pieces of paper, result: totally creakfree Neo

OMG dude!!! Thank you!!!
This phone is amazing for customisation!
200$ - Unlocked(able) bootloader - Ice cream Sandwich in 2012!
And with this video... in 2 minutes I have the 2 chrome sides in my hands and the touch screen glass!!! SO EASY
The Neo will be the new HTC Desire

humm.. I dont remember having creak sounds on my neo (altough i use a silicon cover so maybe it isolates the problem ), shouldn´t you guys use something like rubber or electrical tape instead of paper ?

or just glue it with some paper glue (so you can still disassemble it when necessary).
try to remove the back cover, you will find 3 screws at the right side facing your battery...
unscrew it the press the side which causing creaky sound then tight the screw not to much....
i also have that creaky, but when i did this any thing is fine... but no issues about this thing.....
Smart asses
I shall do that xD
Merci
It's such a relief - in a weird way- to know my Neo V isn't the only one making sounds ^_^
But inspite of (un)screwing around with it ,i also got a rubber case for, which also makes a little bit easier pressing the power button and makes it look fancy too!
Odd. I haven't noticed mine creak, especially now that it has it's protective hard plastic cover.

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.

Fallen from my table this morning, straight on the marble, approx 1 meter.
Everything works ok, no screen cracks.
Just a very minor scuff on a top right corner. Just polished a little bit with some tootpaste, now is barely visible.
Will go the hobby store tomorrow to buy some black finish paint, and should back like new
if the screen is ok then of course everything will work fine
if it landed on anyhwere other than the screen(for this phone, also the glass back side), the most youll get is a scratch,,, same for any phone

Au contraire mon frère. Have you seen Android Authority's Z1 drop test on YouTube? The Z1 uses the same DragonTrail glass as the Ultra, and even after three drops or so (on concrete), the glass didn't crack at all, but the screen stopped working.

My z1 have dropped a lot of times and in all direction, screen protector and case mate cover, it's like out of the box! I think is very durable, my SGS2 had a broken plastic with cover applied and used like a baby. Now i've bought z ultra , look well made but is very thin! Someone had problem with dropping even cover applied?
I too, like to live dangerously. Lol. Yea, even the thinnest TPU case makes this thing a little unwieldy. I use a skinomi skin on the front and back. I had the pieces around the edges but they only attracted hair and lint from my pocket and got stuck in the dock so i removed them. The Accidental damage plan from Sony is the only protection i've really got, so until i destroy this one and have it replaced i will likely not be using a case. I also notice i'm much more clumsy with a case than without.
I've bounced mine off concrete 3 times now, the last fall broke the corner on the ridged flip case.

Mine cracked while it was sat in its cradle in my car. No bangs, no crashes, just one minute fine, the next cracked.

WHY would we need to drop test a mobile phone? This is becoming a social norm to see such 'tests'. I have to ponder who needs to be informed that if they drop such an item the chances are its going to break. If we think about these 'drop tests' they are absolutely absurd!

Agreed. Drop tests are stupid since no drop is the same. It can probably survive a 5 meter drop just fine, but that's just pure luck and nothing else. Drop it again and it'll break.
So yeah, completely retarded.

lol yeah, mine bounced. I'm actually surprised at how sturdy this phone is. I was sure that my screen had cracked but the damage was just a small dent that's barely visible in the right corner.
So pis*** off dropped the phone as it doesn't fit in the jacket pocket I'm wearing at the time. Onto god damn concrete. Was about 1m from ground. Landed face down as flip case flipped open. Checked phone over and it looks like there is a mm crack/chip in glass/chip in factory screen protector. Anyone gone through this scary ordeal any advice of how I can check phone is actually cracked? Ahhh oh dear.

I dropped mine out of my pocket twice now, once in a loading-bay the while climbing in to my truck, so both around 1-1.5 m. Still goes fine - the first time was before I got a flip case.
As long as the chip is only in the screen protector you should be ok

Hey, sorry to ressurect this old thread but i wondered if the OP has/had any issues from his z ultra after discovering the small chip to the screen...I Have just saw one advertised for sale with a description of all working perfect, exept having a tiny chip on the screen which is "barely noticeable" if didnt know it was there and that it in no way hinders performance.
By looking at the pics it looks to be on the ASF layer only and i am wondering if the op had any issues with the chip causing any further damage/issues and would a tiny chip likely become a full on crack on screen?
Again sorry to bump an old topic and any resoponse would be grand
I had no problems but sold the phone couple weeks later. Got a oneplus one now. So should be alright just stick a tempered screen protector on it.
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah i did consider chucking a screen protector on top and from the pics the tiny chip is barely there. My main concern is that it is located near the bottom of the screen, slightly above the bezel and that area is where most of my texting/typing tapping would be done and would hope my clumsy thumbs would not help the chip develop into a cracked screen.
Cheers again
This is much too big to carry in a pocket. I have either a tote or messenger bag that I carry the mobile phone ? in , as well as my Bluetooth headphones . Plus , I wrap the phone in a microfiber cloth ,to keep clean, wipe off prints, and protect my Mobile Phone ? . Usually never leavesy bag until my destination , or when I arrive back home ? . I'm not totally obessessed . I break it out when I am completely bored.

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.
