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

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
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/3...peria-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony-responds/
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.

So something strange happened to me. I did nothing weird when I picked up my prime but of a sudden, crack.
My prime's screen broke in two over the length of the body.

I hope that the warranty wont be a problem, but i'm not sure how to handle it.
Should I go to asus directly or go to the shop where I bought it (mediamarkt nl)
I'm also interested if i'm the first person were the screen cracks when the prime is picked up.
There have been a few odd issues with screen cracking.

Another broken screen
Just posted on another thread about my TF201 screen turning up cracked when I took it out my laptop bag this morning. It was mounted in the dock at the time and hadn't been dropped or mishandled - just carried to work and taken out.
Unfortunately, the screen isn't covered by warranty and the local ASUS service provider (in Australia) quoted $400 for the repair (parts, labour, shipping). Not sure what I'm going to do (the crack is in a corner and is small enough to live with) but I must say I've lost a lot of confidence in ASUS over this purchase (even before the screen broke I was having crash/reboot problems and crummy WIFI reception).
Is the crack only on the inside(can you feel the crack with your fingernail)?
It may be due to heat, it has happened with other devices, and if that's the case and they don't cover it its really f'd up.
I can only feel the crack on the far right side.
However heat would be a strange reason for me because I didn't touch my tablet for more than an hour so before the fatal pick up.

There is a guy with a spontaneous crack in the upper right corner
According to Asus there had been to much pressure on that spot.
Maybe he pinched too hard to get better wifi/ gps signal.
No warranty, cost him 142,81 euros to fix.
Hope you are not the same guy.
Wow, that's really similar to mine. I just sent mine in for a warranty claim. Not sure they'll approve it, but this gives both of us more ammo for our claim. I've got post at the following link with a video on youtube as well.

Don't all of these seem to be originating from the top right, or at least in the top-half of the screen? (Assuming Asus logo is top left). I wonder if it's a hardware revision issue.. Do you all have similar serial numbers?
Wow, that's really frustrating..
So I guess no storing the tablet in the dock (at least not closed, anyway).
so far my screen hasn't ever cracked. But whenever the picture keeps flickering/going fussy/shaking, i'll not put pressure on the edges to try and fix it.
I'm also going to keep paying my extended monthly cover plan too just in case!
Mine also has a crack in the upper right. It is only noticeable in the right light and even then barely, its about 2 inches long, for now. It is the only thing I have a complaint about. Everything works fine on mine except the GPS and I can live without that.

You're not left-handed are you?
Do any of you think this might be related to where one would grab the tablet to open it up?
that's so strange.. you'd think if the crack was anywhere, it'd be where the dock holds the tablet.. I think I might stick some tiny felt pads on the dock where the top (Asus label) of the tablet comes in contact.
My serial # is BCOKAS0XXXXX
My ATP is in the mail on it's way to a service center. But I've gone ahead and emailed ASUS with a link to this thread. I emailed their "Escalation Mailbox" and simply requested they take a serious look at my tablet before dismissing it as "CID". Also letting them know that this isn't an isolated situation. I would suggest everyone with this problem do the same. It's just to easy for them to dismiss a cracked screen as damaged done by the user.
My wifes cracked this weekend in the upper left corner, it is ALWAYS docked and almost always on the dinning room table, she uses it as a laptop replacement. There is not a scratch on it! I sent a PM to Gary, I heard nothing back yet. If this is gorilla glass, then they have problems! My wifes cracked in the black area of the glass only, it is hard to even see it, but it is cracked. Hers had really bad light bleed but she did not care, I never would have lived with it since day one. Asus better find a fix for this one, or just recall them all, these problems keep growing.....
BCOKAS serial number
This is not a thread I wanted to see...
I have a BCKOSA serial number....I hope that I don't become an active member of this thread....
This makes me so freaking nervous that one day I'll have a cracked screen.
And how could warranty not cover this? I'd ***** my way into it being covered, if there's no evidence of the user dropping or mishandling it then it defaults to being considered defective doesn't it?
Yours is the only case I've heard of that the Prime wasn't docked. Seems to me like the frame is letting the screen flex too much, but how you'd keep it from doing so I have no idea.

Was it always shut when not in use? That seems to be a common thread, that the "covert crack" always happened after the unit was closed shut..

Yes it is all ways shut when not used. I always shut mine also, but I don' t use mine as much as she uses her's all the time. No damage to case or to inner area of dock. I just don't know, it must be a stress issue. Is gorilla glass this fragile?
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.

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:

So, just wanted to share the results!:laugh:

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.

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.
I've been my S3 from 3 weeks. In the last week my phone was dropped to the floor from 1 meters!
SIII is **** not phone because digitizer is smashed now and I must pay for repair! (30% of value phone). What I should do now? Sell this phone? Or hide and don't use?!

I have screen protector too but I don't have CASE!
Even best quality case, cost much less than repair. Lesson learned? Don't safe money on casing....
I've dropped mine from the back of neck level and only a few scratches on the side where the plastic is. Screen has been fine since day one. No case and no screeen protector. I've dropped my phone 7 times now. Btw. I'm about 6 foot.

Do you think that a case can protect the screen from cracking? Especially, the phone fell to the floor display.
I have some lines when viewing pictures and a weird sound when watching online videos like youtube. Any help please?

That all depends upon one the case and two the angle of the fall .
Mine certainly has prevented damage .

My flip case certainly does, only type of case for me
In friday I gave my phone to the service and now I'm waiting for answer. Maybe they repair without payment

Agree on this. I never use my phone (s) without case and screen protector. I don't care if it has gorilla glass or not. Another advantage of this is that my phone looks like new even after couple of months.

So if I have S3 I need wear case and screen protector:
Maybe if I have car I need case TOO!!

this is funny but iPhone5>S3!!!
S3 is a SH!T not phone!
I understand more that LCD will cost simple 50$ not 166 (530PLN!). Simple in Poland we earn 2000pln on month!
Listen mate....I'm going to put you straight on one point here, so you just accept a few facts.
YOU dropped your phone, not Samsung, not anyone here, accept it and deal with it and take responsibility for your actions......and YES, you do need a case for your car if you are a rubbish driver and keep crashing......see the similarity?
This is what it is made of materials that cell, S1 and S2, so many times I fell down (on the asphalt, the tiles) and it worked, and S3, and the time it collapsed!

Be more careful with your phone and if you think Samsung is s**t then buy something else!

Ok,, let me try again......
Every now and then I drop a mug....sometimes they break, sometimes they don't......when they don't I breath a sigh of relief.....when they do break, I kick myself for being so clumsy....I don't start ranting at the manufacturer or posting on forums, because I don't want to look like a complete idiot who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions or carelessness.....do you get it yet?
Mine fell from the second floor (about 10 meters high) and nothing happened. Got to say im lucky and i love my case
Oh and once i was getting out of the car and i forgor i put my phone on my lap and it fell onto the street and u know how asphalt is rough and yet my phone survived without a scratch.
Conclusion: buy a good quality case.
Hell my case doesnt even cover the screen and is just on sides. Guess im luckier than others.

I don't believe in cases, I've had three smartphones and all three are working to date without cases. My first smartphone was the HTC Wildfire and when i first got it i also bought a $10 Hard case for it, one day my friend accidentally kicked the phone out of my hand and on the floor, the case shattered but the phone was intact. Since then I dont use any kind of case on my phones. On the S3 i use an screenprotector and an clear skin protector for the back(because it scratches easily), I have dropped it several times from a height of 1m-1,5m and the phone doesent even have a scratch on it. Either my phone is stronger than yours in some way or I'm just lucky
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???

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

relock your bootloader ^_^
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 :

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.
