One advice: buy a case! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

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?

Ahhh that sucks, can you post some pictures?
If you want to fix it yourself wait a couple of months when OEM parts will start appearing on ebay and the likes

Cant Post pics as i dont have a cam at the moment:-(

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:

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

AARGH! My Touch Pro is already dinged!

...it's not even two weeks old and already I've dinged the nice chrome that surrounds the Touch Pro (the Chrome is scratched off and the black underneath now shows.) Anyone know a quick way to cosmetically fix this?
Take it to sprint and get a replacement...
No seriously...
As long as you didnt cause the ding by dropping the phone and it just chipped off there is a known issue with the chrome on the touch pro.
I'm pretty sure (correct me if i am wrong) that the solution is just in-store replacements.

Same suggestion here. As long as the phone does not appear to have suffered a fall, then Sprint will replace it for you.
its all good bro i already dropped mine.
i got a tiny tiny mark on the top left side of the device
no else can see it..but i sure as hell can..
i got another 20+ days tho..if anything ill get a replacement..ill give At&t some bs about my phone not working correctly or whatever lol
Even if you tell them you dropped it, they will still replace it. I thought it was a joke but it is true.
UPDATE
OK, I know what's causing the chrome to chip off. In my original post I didn't explain where the flaking off was happening. It's on the front face, on the right edge. Now, originally I though it was because it dropped a few feet (inside my car, from the center console to the floor), but after looking at it closer I think what's causing the damage is my friggin' case!!! I bought this Body Glove case (http://www.bodyglove.com/products_detail.php?product_id=24491), and after closer inspection, the stitching right where it aligns with the damage on the phone sticks up. I can't explain it properly but basically if I run my finger on that area, I can feel it rubbing against my finger. I'm fairly sure this is what's causing the damage.
Now what's troubling is that when I run my finger over it, it doesn't feel "scratchy" enough on my finger to be doing this damage (basically, I can rub my finger over it over and over again and my finger is fine). So is the quality of the plastic chrome really that bad that it can be damaged by something that won't even cause any type of skin abrasion on my finger if I rub it over and over again?
The damage has grown since my original post. I'm going to sprint and will try to exchange. In the mean time, stay away from that Body Glove case!
sprint will take that back.

well your luck is not as bad as mine. i got my tp on monday and on tuesday i had my phone in my stock htc case. opened the car door and went to grab my phone out of the door pocket and whoops case w/ phone in it hit the asphault before i could catch it. one day in and it chipped the top left corner of the chrome and i can see the black beneath.
i have tep on my sprint plan and went to one store and was shot down asking if i could replace it because they said i dropped it and was my fault and then they said plus u have to wait for 30 days and u will have to call assurion and pay $50 for a refurbished touch pro. bs.
should i try another store? what should i say

My TP had a ding on the upper left corner. I went to a store and told them it's been locking up from day one and got a new one.
update
I went to my local Sprint store and they said they would exchange it for a new one but, of course, they didn't have any in stock nor did any of the other nearby stores. They're supposed to have a UPS shipment of them today and supposed to give me a call. Here's hoping they do.
I looked at the original case that came with the TP and the inside is all smooth, no seams or stitches. I was using this case before I bought that
Body Glove case and looking back on it, the chrome damage did not happen until after I started using that Body Glove case.
So my advice for everyone, if you're not using an Invisible Shield that protects the chrome and you're putting your TP in a case, make sure there's no stitching inside the case where the phone will be sliding in and out. If you do have a case that has stitching on the inside, at the very least make sure all the stitching is smooth to the touch of your finger (including the flap area, basically any area that will be coming into contact with your TP.) Again, the stitching that was sticking out on the inside of the body glove case didn't seem like a big deal when I ran my finger over it but apparently it was enough to scratch and eventually rub off the chrome as I was sliding my TP in and out of the case.
i got a small scratch after 4 days... its on the verry bottom of the screen. im wondering if i can just polish it off. i dont know why they use such easy to scratch material... im really concirend with the cover of the camera and expecily sence its on the bottom and is alwes tuching when you set it down it will be all scratched up in no time...

Cracked Screen (Not LCD)

So basically I managed to accidentally crack the outer screen on my X10 by accident.
The LCD underneath is still fine 100% but it's just a crack on the outer screen Sony puts on there.
Any ideas?

actually, the screen (not lcd, the glass that is on the LCD) does not come with the housing.. i think the glass on the lcd is called digitizer

Open case, pull old screen off,clean sticky gunk off, put new screen on , close case

Its not as easy as it sounds, you have to go through the back of the case, your gonna need a torqx 5/6 screwdriver minimum, i dropped mine due to a slight accident. short version, dont drink rum and try to flip your phone looking cool to check the time.
took about 25 minutes to get the phone stripped down fully to replace the screen (replaced the case too, but the screen repair alone requires the strip down)
now i have a nice white x10i

I think I am one of the few that has a High Gloss Candy Apple Red X10 lol. I busted the screen on mine about 2 weeks after getting phone. Instead of paying the 100$ fee through ATT Insurance to replace the phone, I spent 30$ on Amazon for a Pure White X10 Shell. A little bit of paint with an air gun and I was able to customize my own shell

didnt crack screen
I too thought I had cracked my screen cause I dropped it in a parking lot, I was rocking it naked in the rain, lucky for me the cheap rear cover came in handy as it poped off and the battery fell out of the phone the second it hit the ground so it survived with only a few scrapes and what I thought was a hairline crack that that ran down the top of the screen. so i lived with it till i recently got the inspire 4g and gave my girl my x10 but b4 i gave it to her i decided to rip off that old and scrapped factory screen protector and put on a shinny new one along with a few covers to hide my clumsiness and low and behold the screen was PERFECT not a scratch on it. The crack turned out to be nothing more than a very deep scrape in the screen protect that caused the screen to look cracked.
moral of the story is always check to make sure it is really cracked. those factory screen proctors are strong!!!(and a bit of a pain to remove.)

Xperia s drop resistant?

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.

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

This was dropped out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car... so not even from above waist height!
if you go to ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/2 you can see it mentions the fact that the screen is a fused unit, will be very hard to get an "unofficial" one.
Looks like a sammy only repair job

			
				
Pictures posted. can you view them? just got that photobucket account as I am away from home right now.
I have dropped my old SGS2 and SGS from higher than this and I got a light scratch... this has made me loose ALL faith in the build quality.
How come the front and back got damaged at the same time /?????????????????????
Yeah been looking into getting it fixed. Around 3-400$ for the screen then plus the camera housing... may as well buy new phone. Hence the appeal for bricked devices on here...
Saying that, I dropped mine also getting out of the car... It didn't even scratch, just dented the plastic on the side of the screen.
The worrying thing is, the screen is exactly flush with the bezel and so is not protected at all when it falls - you might have been unlucky on how it landed!

new parts or new phone?
I just insured my phone...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Maan... today it happened to me. Dropped out of my pocket when I got out of a cab. The screen is ok, just some tiny scratches at the top right (I can live with that), but the bezel looks like crap at the bottom left, that's probably where it hit the ground after the fall, then falling onto the screen where it got the scratches.
Does anyone know whether the bezel can be repaired or replaced? I guess I was lucky, but still... now I have a shiny new phone that's just a few days old... and it looks like... an idiot dropped it.
Just my Own story
I didn't have my SGS3 for 24 hours yet, and I have broken the screen. I use my phone as a alarm clock, the alarm rang in the morning after getting the phone waking me up, I hit the snooze button and went to put the phone back onto the bedside table, about 3-4 feet off the ground, I guess I slightly miss positioned in in my not so awake state, it fell to the ground, I hadn't thought too much about it as I had way worse falls with my SGS2 and never anything, but wen I picked my phone back up I could not believe that there was a big crack across the screen... I thought Gorilla glass 2 would of been much stronger. I'm very disappointed with the durability, I can live with it but every time I look at the unit it just reminds me of how easily that was broken, and it disappoints me all over again, I don't see a big reason to spend the ridiculous amount of money to replace the screen for the one crack across the screen, BUT it sure is a sore thumb.
Overall I'm extremely happy with my Samsung Galaxy SIII but VERY disappointed with the durability. I guess it is also my fault, I was so EXTREMELY satisfied and happy with my SGS2 that wen they released the S3 I just jumped on the occasion to get it and never waited for any reviews and customer testimonials as I would normally do wen considering buying anything, especially something at this price range. I will however learn from my mistake.

[Q] Back Glass Panel shattered????

My 2 weeks-old xperia z2 fell off a friend's hand today and its back glass got shattered! I checked locally and there isnt any replacement part around me so i had to order for it from aliexpress(reliable??),which will take atleast three weeks before i will get it,so im stuck with a shattered phone for now,im totally screwed right now aaaarrggghhh!!
Anyways Has anybody gone through this before? My concern is the adhesive fixed beneath the panel,will the phone retain so called "water proof" after the replacement? will it lose its integrity? Since its just adhesive perhaps some part will not glue back properly will that be susceptible to dust settlement? Will NFC still function properly?
And oh! i thought i read its "shatter proof" before i bought the phone ...perhaps i didnt read well??
Shatter proof?
No such thing and it doesnt say it on the sony website from my last checking
Water resistancy should be kept intact if the sealing is properly kept intact or replaced, NFC i dont realy know enougu about to answer for you

To answere your question, the back cover is not shatter proof, its a dragon trail tempered glass that means its supposed to be scratch resistant but not shatter proof. the NFC will still work if you replace the back cover. and as far as I know every back replacement have the doble side tape, so you can take off the one on your phone and just place the back replacement that comes with its propper tape.
About the water proof, let me tell you that actually this is not a water proof phone, its more actually a water resistant phone, keep in mind that what makes this phone resist to water is the tape on the back and front pannels and the flaps. but to be honest I dont see this phone like water proof. you can take the phone out when its raning , take it with you hands wet. but once you replace the back cover you have to be sure that the tape of the back is water proof tape.
I dissasembly my Z2 and now that I know what make the phone water resist, I wont take the risk to try it on a pool .

I'm not sure if Sony is advertising false info. firstly the picture you included is clearly in the DISPLAY section. Secondly, you've quoted gsm arena and not Sony as the source of the information. Finally I always thought shatter-proof means it won't break into a million pieces and cut your fingers and not that if you drop it onto a hard surface it won't creak.

to break suddenly into many small pieces

Yap, shatter proof means exactly that, when you drop it the back panel will probably crack but it will not break in million pieces like a regular glass. :thumbup:
