My Xperia P is 7 months old and does not have any warranty...
Recently i noticed that something is leaking from illumination bar , but my phone was never in contact with water, so there is not a single chance that water has entered , the leakage is not giving any problem to keys , the keys are working fine but the leakage is growing I guess :crying:
could this lead to any big issue???
here are the images

Are you sure it is a leak? Is it static or does it move? Because if it doesn't change as you move the phone, it may not be a leak.
If you look closely, you'll see that the illumination bar is not a solid part, its a top piece glued to a low piece. It might not have been properly glued, and with time it becomes worse.
If it is not any liquid in there, and it doesn't mess with the soft keys, i don't suggest to try and fix it yourself, cause it might get even worse. Just try to look past it, like a dead pixel or so
I don't think it will lead you to any major problem. The worse that could happen is that if it gets a lot further unglued the lower part of the illumination bar can become a bit wobbly
Can't post any pictures as my main camera is crap :L.
On my Xperia U, it did that on both sides the 2nd day I had it. It's not water, and it won't get any worse. The glue seems like a plausible idea. When I hard bricked it for the third time, I sent it off for repair. My guess is it sat in a Warehouse for a week, as it took ages to come back. Anyway, when I was finally reunited with it after a month or so, it had gone. Like invisible to the eye. I was so surprised I thought they had replaced more then the chip this time. They said they didn't, so I was just great full they swapped the LED bar. After 30 mins of this rooting, flashing and doing a Nandroid, it had come back. So it seems that it was the heat.
My advice if you can't stand it is to keep it cold WHENEVER you aren't using it.
But that's just me...

If it is static, i bet that it is a glue problem. And the heat, like Strike_Riku mentioned, might be a plausible explanation.
I love my Xperia P, even more than my girlfriend's iPhone 4S, but i've got to say, this is the kind of thing that makes the difference and gives value to the extra cash you pay for an Apple product. Poor manufacture is one of the cons of this phone. I'm not having this exact problem, but still it is of some concern. My bottom cap after just 2 weeks of use has started to move, instead of being firmly attached to the body of the phone. And i guess that it will get worse.
This is just the kind of thing that you'll have to get used to.
Without warranty, there is not much you can do without some risk to your soft keys.
But if you do want to slightly risk it, you could try to heat to that area with a hot air blower or a hair dryer, in hope of solving it by the glue melting again and pressing the two halves of the bar, getting it properly glued.
Or it could do the exact opposite, and make it worse
How can you not have warranty? Everyone gets warranty from Sony for 1 year it's the manufacturer warranty, but I have similar thing you described here, isn't that big a deal, doubt they'll do anything for you

To send your phone off for this small issue, hmm i wouldn't want two weeks without it
Bro, I too poste a thread for it yesterday.
I too have the Same Xperia P Silver and the same Plastic Cover
I am having the same issue u are having, But the Glue leak is more of center in my Case. The Glue leak Has covered my Center Home button, I wish i could post images but Forum wont Allow till i reach the 10 posts Mark!
I am having warranty and havent unlocked my fone yet and i can give it to the service center!
Would the fone be replaced or the Illumination bar itself?
And It can take max a month too, to get it replaced. I am confused whether to give it or not, the Glue leak is gradually increasing!
My Xperia P also have the exact same issue. When i press the bar from both sides it will go away , but after some time it comes back. I think the glue between the bar is going off. I also dont have the warranty.

if u are having warranty then u should go to service centre , and i think they will change the illumination bar not the phone
I am also having the same problem. But giving it to service centre is not a useful decision.
First , they will consider it as a design, not a flaw
Second, even if they change the strip , then the problem will arise again.
my past experience with service centre is not good. they will surely give more scratches to your phone, than you currently have
you can buy spare strip from here :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271177609149?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Got this on my U since about a month after I bought it, unlocked bootloader but they'll fix it or I'll just take them to court, not going to bother now though, will leave till closer to the warrant end.

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

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...-.-

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
Hi guys,
I got alot of dust (or maybe something else, like fungus) under my camera lens. It's getting worse and worse. At first I didn't see a big difference, but now it's this bad:

Hello.
I just made myself an account after having received tons of help from this site without ever posting already, so please bear with me if I make any mistakes!
I've read and understood the forum rules, and I have also watched the video.
Is there any solution other than taking the phone to a professional? I have the exact same problem, although there are not as many gray spots, and I can also confirm that it is most definitely dust, seeing as the dark spots are constantly moving, appearing and disappearing.
Thanks in advance!
I recently received my i9100 back from vodafone after my phone developed the same problem - dust inside the camera lens.
I did have to reset my phone to stock and remove any evidence of using custom ROMs, but the fault was covered by the 2 yr warranty. I handed it to vodafone on a saturday and had my repaired phone back within a week. Thankfully I'd made a complete backup image using the clockworkmod app before i sent the phone away, so it didn't take long to have the phone back exactly as it was before. VillainRom all the way.
if its not on the lens [after you confirm it] why not to open the back cover of the device, clean the lens and put it back?
btw - how dust got into the device anyway??

THis seems to be OS problem.I also experienced same problem in my old N82.After reflashing the dot disapeared.
dust returns
Several months after having my phone repaired the dust is getting back into the lens agin. Its not visible on the photos yet, but I'm sure it will only get worse. Bugger.
There are two problems on the posted photos: a pink spot, and some dark spots. I assume we are not talking about the pink spot, as it is is a known problem with cameras on several phones...
As regards to the dark spots, the design of the lens cover should prevent any dust from getting in front of the lens - there is a thin foam gasket around the window on the back of the cover, and the camera module is supposed to be pressing firmly against it when the cover is properly installed, sealing off the dust. In case of dust problems like this I would guess something is wrong either with the cover itself (possibly a missing or damaged gasket), or with the way it's assembled. The camera module itself may also be seated the wrong way somehow.
If your phone is taken care of by a service technician, you can't do much about it, other than ask them to pay an extra attention to this gasket (and we all know how professionals usually react to customers telling them what to do, even though, frankly, a customer may be more qualified for the job sometimes). But if you are willing to open up your phone yourself, it should be fairly easy to spot a problem, because the camera module leaves a very clear impression on the gasket...
5$ and do it by yourself [after you cleaning the inside lens[

I've been facing similar issue simce the past 11 months and warranty has already expired. There's one black spot on the right side of my camera images. I'm trying to live with it. Searched the entire Internet, couldn't find any tutorial to open and clean the camera unit. And without any tut I'm not going to open up my device as I'm scared as ****.

What you need is not a tutorial for cleaning the camera, but general disassembly instructions. You can definitely find them, either separate, or as part of the S2 service manual. I've got it, but don't have it handy right now, sorry... You don't need to rip your phone apart, just to remove the backplate. It is very easy, nothing to be scared about. Check my earlier msg just a few posts back, make sure you have a good gasket around the lens piece -- if it's damaged or misaligned, the dust WILL get inside.
I just started having this problem a few weeks ago. One little spec of dust had gotten into the lens of mine. I'm thinking about unscrewing the back of and cleaning it with a glass cloth rather than taking it back to my carrier to get it serviced.
Hey guys, i also was facing the problem with dust on the lense and the covering glass having a lot of tiny scratches. Couldn't take a sharp photo anymore, focussing took ages, so camera was kinda useless at all.
I bought a middle chassis at amazon, costs about 12 €. Today i changed the middle chassis and cleaned the camera lense.
Changing the chassis and cleaning took about 20 minutes, doing everything very carefully and using this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3CDyMY_Xc
So, just wanted to share the results!:laugh:
See attachments for before and after.

Wow! How is your lens so fogged up??
I got mine replaced a few months back (warranty) and there was only a small dust spec.

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!

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.
Hi,
Just wanted to share how to fix Xperia Sola back cover from making noises and deforming.
It's actually no big deal, someone else could allready think of that, but just in case u didn 't knew or used some other method...
So all u have to do is to tape an insulation tape pieces (1 peace on each side) on the inside of a cover. Personally I taped in these places:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is how I did mine:
No need to tape it beautifully.. remember it's the inside of a cover
trim insulation tape peaces with the lenght as in picture and hight as cover s hight is. Do not tape over those little pieaces(circled with blue color)
Mostly these are deforming parts because there is a free space between cover and phone. U can use pretty much everything but insulation tape would the best choice, You can easily remove it if it s not working for u but it should.
Remember do not put more that one slice on each side, then u will have a hard time to attach cover to phone and most likely it will deform or even break. If u see a build up on one or another side of the phone after attaching cover... u sould remove tape from it... probably yours is ticker.. look for a bit tinner one
Have fun!
Sorry for my English, if there is something u don t unerstand please feel free to correct me.

do u still have warranty ? if u do I suggest u to contact ur seller to fix this issue for free or u can try to fix it yourself but it's a risk that u could damage it more... I know exactly where the problem is, but to fix this u will have to remove whole cover and unscrew panel of the phone to check volume wire and put it back in it s place if it's not damaged. It could be deformed panel as well, since u said it got lower than it used to be.
Technically u can put something beneath it to get it higher, but thats to much of a risk My advice to u is to contact your seller for a fix

They told me that it's still usable and they didn't take the damn responsibility bro It always bother me everyday. I hate my volume buttons I have no more money to send to service center as the service center charges a lot to me. I bought this because my x8 is laggy and I need to get new phone with low budgets but I don't like HUAWEI so I get this phone. Anyway, thanks for your help bro. I'll find a better way.

that s su*ks man. they should fix physical defects right away.
is the phone brand new?
than u might try fix it yourself... as I told the wire might be knocked loose or there is a panel defect might be the button problem as well.
don t unscrew screws that are marked with stickers or some indicators, then u will loose your warranty.
actually pretty bad situation you have there... maybe let it go and use a volume widget so u don t have to press physical button
anyway, good luck with that, hope u solve it

I bought this phone a month ago. So, it is brand new. I don't know what to do. How unlucky I am. Despite all those facts, I love my phone. I need to use floating toucher which has volume buttons. Thank you bro. I need to find a way out.

scary with no explanation yet as there's not a single scratch on the device. quality is BS

As someone from the same city, I find this scary.
Did the Sony people accept his claim under warranty? Or did they just insinuate that he dropped it and refused?
this is ****ing scary.... is it overheat causing this??

he used to shot lots of 4k video.. it could be the gap issue makes the glass unbalance with heat exchange, but haven't notice any gap at the time. it didn't take even three days of use!!
as there is no clarification from Sony.. the defective will count as user fault
another self crack.. and now in the front
So no one else has a crack and you have two....sure you aren't being too rough on the device?
i just sent my z2 to retail for warranty. The front screen maybe unglue near the speaker, i tried to clean them but nothing happen, i'm sure that the front green unglue and the back camera has some dust. i'm very sad, just use z2 for 2 weeks

This is sad really...
Why is it the people doing the complaining have just one post to their name. This started like 3 weeks back. Only one post. You'd think they'd be a bit more worked up right. You read the craziest things on the sony forum.
Have noticed a similar trend on product review sites, for 5 star as well as one star reviews. Just one post and post date is the same as join date and these people are never to be heard from again.
Why does glass break ? either stress or a temperature differential.
Don't cool an overheated phone under the tap. It might 'self crack'.
The most possible reason is overheat.
The water proof phones like z, z1 come with strong adhesive, which expands and then break the glass.
You have to send it for repair or DIY repair.
An original glass can keep the phone waterproof. So you should be careful when select the replacement part for repair.
You can get origianl Sony Xperia phones replacement parts at wirigs.com.
Photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Don't think I've known a set of owners to be so protective over the opinion of their device.
Do you think that there is a conspiracy going on?
Is a fact that most people only turn to the Internet when they have an issue with their phone, so only having one post would be normal.
Mine has a cracked back too.... And I'm not a new poster

could you upload some pic please..
it's definitely an overheat problem so please guys stop covering up for Sony, if this doesn't happen to you now it could be affected by it later
my advice do not shoot lots of 4K video as it happen to be the most process that rise the temp. very high, till Sony resolve the issue stay away of any hot environment

However, Sony released the following statement to Watchdog, highlighting for the first time that there is an issue:
“In a small proportion of cases, screens have indeed cracked with no identifiable cause and in these instances the phone has been repaired for free.”
sight.. Finally, and there are still people who says that's a Photoshop or an impossible to happen without any force
anyone from UK guys.. can you confirm the statement from Sony?
The statement was made on watchdog, now that they have made the statement on such an open outlet, I imagine any returns on cracked screen with zero frame damage will get a repair under warranty. Whether cover is for a single crack or multiple fractures remains to be seen

Took my Z2 back to CPW today after it got a small crack near the camera after i have been using satnav for an hour. Service centre said sony know about the issue and if you cant feel the crack then it will be heat related. I noticed when i took my phone of the dash the gap between the glass and bezel had grown. I think when it strunk down something might of got stuck in the gap and caused the crack.

Mine went back to ee's service centre... They say it's accidental damage. Had to pay £40 to be repaired.
Selling it so had to have it done officially rather than doing it myself.
