Good luck .
Think it´s a dust cover, so your loudspeaker might catch more dust.

You buy the phone, you remove something and now you complain about your phone and Sony. Sounds ridiculous.
my loudspeaker was now loud enough and I tought that I should take of that FOIL..
this is a cheap phone , and so mad on sony..was better with a high quality iphone.
I want to sell it but no one wants ot buy it BECAUSE THE YELLOW SPOT :|
No man..I'm complaining about Sony because the yellow spot, all phones have ANTY SCRATCH Glass Gorilla, SOny has a FOIL(PROTECTOR), got it ?? cheap materials high phone price..I wasted 450 euros on this phone :| .

1. scratch resistant glass under the foil
2. if there are yellow spots replace your phone while its under warranty
3. ????
4. profit
krkrkr!!!
welcome in china world !
Sony is a pure fan brand,not quality.
and you be at the start of problems
many will come later ;-)
Yeah the foil isn't there for scratches so remove it if you want to...it keeps your phone together if you bash it or incase you feel that your screen is too clear and you go and try to remove that as well ;-). The glass is indeed scratch resistant, but don't go at it with a bag of nails because its only resistant.
I got a question though...where did you get the idea that a 1mm thick piece of cloth will fix your sound?
The build quality of this phone is surprisingly good in my opinion. Our phones stay together for the most part after a drop...have you dropped an iPhone before?
Im assuming you mean your speakerphone volume was low? The general sound volume is too high in my opinion, but the speakerphone volume is a problem that may be fixed with ICS.
And the above is correct, got the yellow? Send it in.

i've gotten aan officialy answer that the foil that is above the LOUDspeaker can be taken of! No problem ! I had a Iphone, and that special glass is very good, i dropped mine and nothing happend from 2 metetrs. It has scrach resistant Screen, but not a Gorilla one, man for 450-500 euros, this phone should have last generation thing but yes I'm a fan of sony(I mean I was), hope to sell it very soon.
I had SOny ericsson x1, W960, P1, W910, K850, K800 etccccc..phones from SOny, and this one lets me down ..
I can't go to warranty because I don't have one.I buyed it from the internet :\ .
Zero point in complaining, you will always have a warranty mate no matter where you buy the phone so check the seller item details and contact them, unless u got it dodgy of course...

OK about 6 months ago my I dopped my phone, cracked the touch glass, so I ordered a new white case and glass (they were never sold here by telstra in white). So the day I get my phone back I go down to a house I am renovating after work to do some more renovations. about midnite some low life sneeks in the back door and steals my phone off the counter while I was at the other end of the house.
Well today a friend brought a white phone into my work to have repaired- and what do you know its my phone (I still have the box with imei number under my desk).
Upon opening battery cover I see this - can anyone tell me what has been ripped out from the top left and if it can be replaced / fixed (the phone boots but I need to flash it before I can put a sim card in it):

So can anyone tell me what is missing and if I can fix it / buy a replacement?
it is only a cover ( for speaker )
if your hw speaker is working its not a big deal just cover it up with the back case.
yeah theres nothing missin
i took that black cover off mine a while back and theres nothing there
but dont u think its weird that there is nothing under it?
why cover up something that isnt even there? i am thinking that SE planned to put something in there, but didnt in the end... just my opinion
nah seems to me its like a service panel like its a space to get to the motherboard easier
I guess its the compass try they maps and if the comapass works because its cover is removed

that would be a waste of space, if u ask me
but compass could really be there, and this empty pocket is like some protection for it to work properly.

Wow man talk about luck!
Hope everything works again.. are you planning on giving it back
So I'm curious what happened to this situation with the "friend" who brought the phone in. Did he confess he stole it from you, whether or not he knew it was yours, or did you confront him? Or did he bring it in for someone else maybe? I know I would be pissed at someone, especially a friend, if they stole my phone. Not to mention that you just fixed the damn thing. How long did he have it? I would be grilling that thief. "Why did you take my phone?" "Why the F#[email protected] is the cover off the back inside, your obviously not a phone technician or you wouldn't be bringing it in?!" "What kind of person steals someones phone?" and the final thing to say, "Come by my house later, I have a surprise for you."
its the speaker, Mini also have this mesh thing, it is used to cover the diaphragm of the speaker. it also in line with the speaker outlet. but on your unit only the mesh was gone.
this diaphragm protect it from dirt build up. So without this it will still work but have a possibility to have dirt buildup.
Hi,
Just making a random thread, when I get a phone I always get a case because I'm afraid the drop proofibility(I know its not a word) is not up to scratch(pun unintended).However I'm waiting on sony's official white case. Just wondering, how drop resistant is the Xperia S. Not telling anyone to drop their Xperia S to find out.
Please share your experiences
I'll put it this way, I dropped it by accident and I've a big scuff and dent on the top right at the back of the phone.
I keep looking at it, with sadness.
I havnt dropped mine but if I did and it smashed it would not suprise me, feels very heavy/fragile!

Heavy? Really? IMO its a really light phone. Feels the same weight as my x10 but its way bigger. It surprised me when I opened the box and took it out.
Having dropped my x10 upwards of 4 times, never having a case I'm kinda confident in Sony's manufacturing. Thing is nicked slightly, few marks on the screen protector but if I replaced that you'd take a second to realise it wasnt new out of the box.
That said, I have a nilkin on the way and I'm going to be Uber cautious until it arrives.

Same I have a few scuffs and bruises on mine, I can see my £50 phone excess being used and it taking an irrepairable drop some time soon. My white case is on it's way.

Two days ago I dropped mine from about 1,5 meters onto asphalt (display down) causing only two tiny scratches on the screen! The phone still works as before. Incredible!

It really depends on how it drops. Though being a phone with sharp corners definitely has the downside of being less drop resistant, as seen that poor phone above that looks like it had it's skull cracked open
It's partly why a lot of phones you see have rounded corners, as they are more adept at distributing impact forces to the sides.
Too bad I'm in love with the rectangular design, so I'll have to be more careful!

No phone is drop resistant unless you have one of the old nokia phones. Those are wall resistant as well.
I thought they would make phones a little more drop resistant by now. On my old Samsung galaxy s, the gorilla glass does shatter, but I swear they could they could fix that by having very ever so small protruding edges to stop the glass contacting the ground, that way i don't need a case, that was with the old galaxy s but i guess this xperia s, the plastic and the glass are both vunerable

Its certainly heavy enough to hurt itself when dropped.
i dropped mine on the toilet floor in an airport and the top right hand corner got grazed and had a small hair line crack
...i ordered a case before this incident and the case came the day after the phone got damaged
oh well now im trying to get it replaced under warranty
Oh my god... My phone just dropped because a friend shot me with a soccerball which made me shock and drop the phone... Left and right of the bezel there is a piece missing and a ugly hairline crack along the xperia writing.. Any1 knows how much it costs to replace the bezel?

If you want to fix it yourself wait a couple of months when OEM parts will start appearing on ebay and the likes

well i think ill have to replace the whole bezel and the illuminated strip cos its damaged with tiny scratches and cracks aswell :O :O
On a dutch forum a member had the bottom cracked and replaced it himself. You can buy the bottom part in certain shops. The transparant strip however is attached to the rest of the phone
If you mean this part:

Link to the part. It is a dutch shop but if they have it other shops could to:

ouch, mine had a drop too and the border around the screen is really weak, it now has a small bend at the top corner, luckily it wasn't too bad, but it was only a short drop :\.
My old sgs i9000 with flimsy plastics has been through much worse and looks like new... I won't complain about cheap plastics anymore :X.
Ive found the part in a german online store !!! but.. how to remove the bottom bezel? is it needed to disassemble the whole internals? like here : http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/04/30/xperia-s-disassembly-guide/
or is it just removable by pulling it?

Mine Xperia S ( the black one above in the pic ) dropped on the street and had a crack too but you can easily fix it. Just order the bottom cover online ( the Dutch shop send it in whole Europe i thought ).
When you have a crack in the bottom cover the tension is of the plastic part so you can easily remove it with you're nails. If not, just pull in the middle by the transparant bar and lift the bottom cover with a credit card. The peace will disengage itself then.
Good luck!
il try my best but im scared to break it :O
Well if you break it off it wont matter now
You can just push the new one on then. I didn't realize they were already selling the bottom replacements, im not so terrified now if I crack it if I have a butterfinger moment .
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
yeah same .. didnt think bout those parts tbh and i didnt see them on the sony site for replacement parts.. anyways its pretty cheap here in germany 7,40€ for the bottom cover +2,50€ fee.. that makes not even 10€ i like that
I can't understand people who have a case for their phone. Case or not, the shock still might break the phone or something still can crack the screen.
You don't want your phone to get scratched? What difference does it make if it is in a case the whole time?
so i've ordered the bottom cover and just noticed a NICE really NICE scratch on the screen(not the protector.. i removed it)
****ing hell its so easy to scratch i got nothing in my jeans pocket else than my phone...-.-

well i've talked to my mom and she said if she let me go out and play soccer for example(im 17 but okay ) and break a window her insurance would have to pay for it, same goes for phones and everything you can damage by accident.. so my guess is that they will have to pay for it and not me, cos a glass isnt that expensive i think...
hi there
I made myself a etui for my htc hd2 for about one year ago adn I'm using it for xperia S now
and I put in it a 3mm aluminium plate in front of it and soft leather inside
it all becouse of my work which is dangerous to any phone especially touch screens
so if someone can make for you something like that it worth any money couse then your phone is unbreakable
Does anyone know where we could order it here in asia? I cant find one in ebay
you must put something like a plettro between the bottom plastic and the trasparent plastic. then you must force the plastic up, it's very simple to do
I dont know how but i never dropped my phone. Butthe lens on my camera cracked. How the hell? They marketed it as sapphire. Why?

But im careful with my things. I never dropped this. Hell my nokia phone c2-00 dual sim fell 6ft to the hard marble floor but it is still fine...
look what I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46252774
so sapphire isnt that good at all, yes?
one possible reason probably is that i am always fingering the volume up button. im using the international version btw where the lens an dthe button is flat and too close to each other. this is a flaw to the design. but it's sapphire it shouldnt crack like that.
It magically cracked :-\ that's what they all say.

the point is, for a high end phone with camera lens that cracks on a normal day to day use is not good LG should look into this. If it is heat related, then definitely they should all recall the unit and replace the international version with the Verizon's version. My nokia is still alive after 10+ landings on hard floor.
Well of course it can brake. Everything brakes. The main point of sapphire on lens glass as I believe is that it is very scratch resistant.

One case out of thousands and thousands will not cause a company to look into anything. It might have just had a defect.

Impact break. Left side.
And this crack is from a normal day to day use?...
Not in my opinion. That is definitely not a flaw or internal pressure break. Something hit it, pressed very hard on that one area, or focused pressure on that area.
Its always in my pocket. Probably twisted because sometime when i talk the nillkin case off it sounded like its gonna snap. Lg support in ph wont cover it though. I guess im gonna pay to have the glass replaced. But i can live with this becausd image wuality is not aggected. It just looks ugly.
They are right for not covering it. It is visually end user fault. Can't be to expensive to get it replaced.
I was wondering if there any way to improve the water-proofness of the xperia
because I think the plays aren't secure enough! they feel easily! and I'm afraid to use my phone under water! !
is there another kind of smaller flaps that are fixed under the main flaps!
I've already searched for such a thing! but without any chance!
Buy new flaps. Ebay.
Z2 is a great phone but when it comes to its waterproof ability definately SUCKS !!!
I just saw too many Z2 for sale just for 50-60 euro because waterdamaged and threads with people complaining about dead Z2 by water damage . Just don't water it , if you use it in rain maybe is OK but not underwater .
These waterproof smartphones nowadays are way far from being 100% waterproof , unless they cover circuits with a resin like substance there will always be a a risk like a tiny design flaw or a case deformation that will allow water enter into the phone and turn it into a paper weight .
ON TOPIC : use this to improve z2 waterproof ability LOL

because people do not use it with the flaps fully covered/ not damaged or they use it below 1 meter etc
People often don't keep their flaps dust-free.
Dust on the rubber seal on the flaps will case them to leak when under water.
As I keep my flasp clean and dust-free, they are waterproof.
I've had my phone below 3 meters under water, recording video, and it works great. No issues with water.
I did notice that, if one do use soap or other detergents, it seems to "disrupt" the water-phobic property of the speaker openings. Why I suspect this, is because I did "destroy" one Xperia Z2 trying to clean it with soap and water. Device got instantly filled to the brim with water, and I suspect that it did happen when the soap got into contact with the speaker openings.
Anyone who can confirm or dismiss this theory?
i think we dont need that this phone quite proofly
just to let you guys know!
I was very anxious about using my phone under water!
and I was right!!!!! the first time i used it, somehow it got water-damaged !
I've sent it back to the seller for replacement and started looking for a WAY TO IMPROVE ITS WATERPROOF CAPABILITIES !
all i got is a case calle "Love mei" ! so i thought it would be cool to share it with you guys!

I clean my phone once in a while with soap and water but not like submerging the phone in water and using soap just by gently cleaning it, One time the soap did enter my speakers and I tried to play music and the speakers were crackling ( boy I thought it's dead) after some time I checked it was working fine
The only solution would be to coat all electronic components (and then some) with Liquipel or some alternative. There's been a bunch of horror stories tho.
the real horror story is when water gets to you phone!!
in fact i bought an xperia z2 about 4 months ago and the first day i submerged it in water it got damaged! (i sent it back for exchange)
so yeah! despite it's waterproof, I'm not getting my new phone under water again!
I went to the waterfall with my xperia z2
damaged my screen
randomly touches anywhere specially when phone is heated up
was using it for around 3 months after damaging
I asked sony service center, they told be it will cast me 9K in INR
gave it to the local repair shop
lets see what happens
