(SORRY ,i english not good)
my ZU 's Packing box not has the Paper strip seal, ! i don't konw why .......
Does sony even not seal the Packing box ?
Is my ZU Secondhand??
Did you order it from another country? If yes, customs may have taken a look at what it was. It's not that unusual, but it really depends on several things, so i'll have to ask you again; where did you buy it?
look at the url

He means that neither of them were sealed, meaning both were not sealed.

When looking at the front speaker, you see the holes the sound comes out of.
On every photo of the phone I have seen, there is an unbroken line of holes, but on my S3, I have 3 holes on the right followed by a gap, and then 13 more holes.
How is yours?

Yay! Mine's blue too. OK, not unique then, just "special"
I bought mine off Amazon UK direct.
Well it is. But if it fail, surprise.
I had my go taking a bath and not working anymore. Called Sony mobile support. They asked if the port covers were closed, if it was deeper than a meter or for more than 30 minutes.
edit: The 2 ports were close, and the phone was never deeper than 1 feet for less than 5 minutes.
They asked what the phone is doing now. Just a quick sight of sony logo then it power off. The guy told me that it's because water get in.
and ? That it's not warranty, that water damage is not covered under warranty.
I said well you sell a waterproof phone, certified ip67, but if your seal fail, it's not covered ?
They say "the port covers must have been open, otherwise how do you explain water got in ?"
They basically told me i'm on my own and they will not do anything.
Funny but i think it's my last Sony.
Well it is your fault.You should always do double check.

ahahahah, nice one.
I think i have not been clear.
The 2 ports were of course closed.
It was not the first time the phone saw the water, but this time the seal failed for some reason (unknown to me).
But the ports were closed.
All i wanted to get to your attention is, that if the seal fail, you're on your own. They certify the phone is waterproof, but they don't warranty it.
Probs soap water bypasses the seal

I don't see why it would be less waterproof to soap water but anyway... it was clean pool water.
Just know that it's certified waterproof, not warrantied.

not only Xperia go but also Xperia Z, it's not warranty because they have mentioned it in documentation in product's box
Hi! I'm using a white non-LTE Xperia Z Ultra. Today I happened to mess up the aluminium frame when I was sitting in the chair playing game on my PC. My Xperia Z Ultra slipped out of my pocket and hit the floor! It managed to scratch/peel off the paint on the aluminium frame at the edge. How do I fix this? Please help!
Buy a new phone?

The top and bottom isn't aluminium. Its plastic.

No.. I'm not going to disassemble my phone 'cause I think it'll not be waterproof again. Just like my Z.

if you are really bothered with the paint going off you can go to a local store and have them match the colour. Sand down the surface, clean, mask of the other areas and paint

I'm pretty sure I've read about the full frame made of aluminium. But then I read that the aluminium is covered with paint (I guess to have the same colour on every single device).

The top and bottom is a plastic otherwise there would be issues with the antennas getting shielded off. The sides seems to be powdercoated while the top and bottom perhaps is laminated as you do when you print labels on to plastic boxes. Melting a piece of plastic onto the surface.

You know what? You're actually right.
I went to check the infographic that Sony published a while ago (

and confirmed that only the sides are made of aluminium.

Well, the graphic isn't indeed that clear...
It says "side panels", not specifying which sides... it may refer to every side, since top and bottom are sides too...
Extract from an early interview on Z Ultra design:
So I guess they say "sides" and actually mean "ALL sides", which makes sense, as with the word "sides", if not specified, you 99% mean all of them...
So it may be all aluminium and all covered with paint...

I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.

Thanks for link, the price is good. Can't see any sony or xperia branding on the cover in the pictures, sent a mail to them asking if it's genuine..
Has anyone found a site to buy back battery covers? Not cases that fit on the phone. The spare part item. I am mostly interested in the oak/bamboo style.

The only place I've found is the zuk store (their own site), but the prices there are pretty high

Why do u think its just the adhesive. U can choose between grey and white cover.... I'm thinking about buying the grey one and swap my white one out. But the wooden covers would be awesome
