Hi guys I recently bought an Xperia S and only yesterday I accidentally dropped abit of Mayoneese on my phone while I was eating. I think the Mayoneese managed to get in my phones ear speaker. Now it sounds like it is blocked, it has sound but very soft, almost like on low volume. And when I'm taking calls the ear speaker heats up fast. Is there anyway to fix this? Everything else is working just as fine. Thanks in advance.

Well, you have two options... either you put your Xperia S between two breads since mayonnaise is already there and add tomato or cucumber... or try to use vacuum to suck out the mayonnaise...

I had similar problem with my old (t)rusty Hero. Over time the metal mesh filled with everything and hardened pretty well. I had to disassemble it and soak in alcohol for a while.
Do the next only and ONLY if you have a steady hand and good eye! Don't rush!
What you should do:
1. Go to the nearest pharmacy and buy a small syringe with blunt needle 1-1.5mm or larger. Don't use the sharp one, it will damage your phone. If you have to use the sharp one, take some honing stone (from kitchen) and grind it down to nice flat end and finish it that it has no sharp edges. If you cant do that find some knife sharpener and ask him to do it for you. Buy him a beer.
2. When you succeeded with needle, go to nearest shop with paints etc. and ask for burner fuel used for camping burners and for cleaning. It's the cleanest alcohol you can get (Do not drink this stuff). Don't use one from pharmacy because its more expensive and always has some additives inside. You can see if its pure by dropping some on clean glass. After evaporation it should leave nothing on the surface. The pharmacy grade will leave whitish residue behind - it's some kind of hydratation creme.. Do not use acetone!!! It will ruin your phone for sure!
3. Fill the syringe 1/3rd or less and gently put some alcohol on the speaker's mesh. Be careful, its very fragile. Don't put to much of it, you can ruin your speaker or even the display that way.
You should not use more than half drop per application. Wet the mesh and wait a little bit. Then wet it again and suck back. Use wooden stick (not sharp) to work on the mesh, don't rub, be very, very gently.
4. Flush the syringe and fill it again with fresh alcohol. Repeat step #3 until you are satisfied with results.
5. Get rid of mayonaise, ketchup etc., at least when your phone is nearby.
Do this only, and only if you are 100% sure you can do it correctly and have the proper stuff. Don't improvise or rush. Take the time to make it properly, or take it to repair in some gsm service/Sony service - that would bee cheaper than a new phone

Mine is very clear and loud. But you have to hold it properly.
Maybe we can compare when I'm in Fiume next time?
Okay apparently I Googled and found a way. Just suck and blow the Earpiece for a few days. Now the sound is louder. Slowly it will fix this problem.

Just one little advise, if I may...
Don't sink your new Z2 into aquarium, especially not into aquarium with a sea water - your camera will be destroyed.. (not literally but it'll become unusable).
There's many Z1 users who reported bad things after such experiment.
Watter sometimes find passage and you got foggy lens (inside of device) you can't get nothing about it because you can't open it (you actually can but I wouldn't advise that)...
So...use waterproof for rain and accidentally water contact - I have my Z1 from the beginning and never tried to shoot pict in swimming pool... - I just don't trust them -
Z5 will, probably, have better technology/sealings.

you know what mate, i dont trust it either lol, it aint going in saltwater and i am actually expecting it to break, if it develops a fault it will be going straight back but i shall skip both phones4u and vodafone and be sending it back to sony. What you mean use waterproof for the rain???? i use my galaxy note (not waterproof) if its raining and its fine..... Z2 is rated ip58, if water gets in anywhere on its first day out the box then its faulty, end of.

I have my doubts about it staying fully functional afterwards as well, but apparently it can be done and it will be fine..... so i just cant resist, they'll sure as hell know about it if it breaks tho, i'll complain to every damn person employed by sony, from the ceo to the janitor lol

Well I'm sure there are devices that were under the water and survive but when I pay 1000$ for something I try not to do experiments with it...
I saw only few underwater pictures (Z/Z1) so I guess I'm not the only one who thinks like that...
But I totally understand you and if device, like Z1/Z2 have so many sealings/protection rubbers it should bear up some torture

lol im kinda the opposite, when i spend that much on something i wanna know that it does what it claims, to be honest i will probably never use the phone underwater again, but at least i'll worry less when im playing on my phone in the bath
I have a waterproof camera and a Nokia 1020. Nokia is great when on holiday and not wet, but wet days at the beach or pool were nerve racking as I always had to keep an eye on my phone with the towels and my camera never was as good at taking pics. Few weeks ago I got a Z1 Compact for wet days. Tested it at home for water proofing and all good. Great camera. Just need to set the volume button as the shutter for underwater pics as screen is unresponsive and camera button hard to use. Even took it to the waterpark with no issues.
Only problem was the screen felt too small so I got the Z2 thinking I'd give the Z1C to the wife. Got it yesterday and loved it. Based on good experience with the Z1C, I just expected waterproofing to be as reliable. After setting it up, I finally had a chance to test it by dipping into a pitcher of water and tested the camera. Camera button so much better than Z1 and all seemed to work. Suddenly I see bubbles, camera shuts off, flap warning pops up (flaps were completely closed) and phone dies. Took it out immediately and water is running out of microphone holes at bottom and apparently from around the frame. What a let down! Just hoping Sony or vendor are cool about a replacement. Had it all of 2 days. Got wet in 15 cm water and died although all flaps completely closed.
Still, compared to Z1 Compact, the body stiffness and frame flush with the glass feel far more flimsy on the Z2. Now that its got water in it, I can almost squeeze it and water seems to leak from around the aluminum frame. Contemplating sticking with the Z1 Compact for a year until tech improves if I can get my money back. Otherwise might try the SGS5. Really bummed as I loved the Z2, but I don't need just another smartphone, I need one that has a good camera and can survive the pool.

Personally I can't understand why some are so eager to dunk it in water just to test the water proofing, I mean if you have a crash proof car you ain't gonna crash it into a wall to test it.

Well, if you buy the phone to be able to use it in the water, it's better to test it out before you're in a situation where you need the phone and it just dies on you. Of course, if you never intend to get the thing wet, obviously you have no need to test this feature.
Me and @waynekirby made a little video with both our z2's video is taken with Xperia T

Well, it got it's first water test today, and . . . well it passed!
I was on the golf course using the phone as a golf GPS when it threw it down and everything got drenched. The phone has survived, but was more or less unusable when the screen was wet. Several rain drops seemed to act as finger presses, launching random programs, which was quite annoying as I had to keep drying the phone to get back to the GPS screen. But I suppose the main thing was that the phone survived the deluge

Hi, today i bought xperia z ultra and i like to play games on it and i was thinking about testing it in water before i go to take a bath with it, is it really safe to put it in water?
Please someone tell me if it is safe.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my bad English.

yes make sure covers are all closed:]
A while back I did some looking around in the Smartwatch2 threads and seen posts about bathing and showering while wearing it. There was some speculations that soapy water may have different properties allowing it to penetrate the seals, and that steam may be able to make its way in easier as it is a vapor.
Water goes in mine through the speaker. Still works like a champ! It drowns the music volume and I have to give it a view minutes to get back out. I think I poked the membrane or something but it's still visibly there.

Just be aware that some people have had issues with the "waterproofness", resulting in a non-functioning device and zero warranty.
I would honestly record the whole test on video in case something goes wrong. That way you'll have proof that it was a hardware defect that killed your Ultra and not stupidity.

and remember that the tests are on static water, not a shower, water with out surfactants (read soaps), and clean seals with NO dust on them
Thanks everyone, today i tested it i also recorded it wih my old phone, it Works fine
Sorry for my bad English.
With these YouTube videos floating about saying the X is maybe at your own risk waterproof. Kudos to the editor of the YouTube video....very brave!.... I thought I'd test it myself Well it's mostly waterproof. I went in the pool here in Spain, took some great photos. Phone was submerged in my pocket for about 10 minutes. 50cm below water. When I got back to my sun lounger I noticed the rear camera cover had steamed up. The rest of the phone was fine.
Into the tub of rice the phone went for 2 days......no change.
I had to heat the phone on lowest heat setting 5cm away with a hair dryer for about 5 mins, i could then press in the outer black rim with my finger nail, i saw some movement, so I continued to blow dry the same area whilst pressing the same spot. Within 30 seconds the steamed up area was gone. Phone is now back to normal and taking great pics.
So save yourself some hassle and don't treat this phone like the previous generation z series!

So secretly the Xperia X is kinda waterproof ^^
I'd say that it is splash proof but not waterproof, i can see the back of the screen through the tiny gap around the power button so i wouldn't want to risk submerging it in water.

I took it to the pool several times and recorded underwater,the phone its fine and no signs of damage or water. so.....
If you are going to take it to the pool, AT LEAST make sure the pressure test passes
I loved, and still live my MXPE camera. This one seems a little lackluster comparatively. Any found a setting that needs tweaked? It seems very software related.
I haven't had any issues, I miss the old layout but I changed the option from shutter button to tap anywhere and it feels better.
Aside from redoing a point and click to help adjust light, no, haven't discovered any big tricks yet. Pro mode doesn't add all that much. Related to camera, anyone get scratching on cams lens? I had it for two days and kept in soft sunglasses case, and already it's covered in microscratches, my note 4 has been abused for a while now and has zero, little disconcerting

Mid-light seems to cause real dramas for the Moto Z camera. Bright or low light no problems but there's some terrible shutter lag in mid-light. It can be easily overcome by going into Pro mode and increasing the shutter speed (at the expensive of added noise) but it's a shame it's not been turned to this setting out of the box.

The same story here, after 2 days of careful usage, I noticed two scratches on the camera glass that's supposed to be made of gorilla glass 4, the best way I found to deal with it is to put a dbrand skin on it, costs just 99 cents, it just arrived today. Another thing about the camera, is it just me, or it seems slow to react to movement, like when in the camera app you move the phone and the image on the screen moves real slow a second later, like back in the day on cheap Chinese no brand phones:laugh:, doesn't happen all the time though, hard to say what the reason for this behavior might be.

That "slow to react" thing is the image stabilization catching up, can be worse sometimes than others. And I would get a protector for my lens if it didn't create a whole other layer of light refracting scratches. This lens is like putting little tike wheels on a sports car, totally embarassing in design and kinda unacceptable
