[Q] using the Z2 under water - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just want to quickly verify. You can't use the screen underwater correct?
i.e. tap and swipe gestures will not work underwater.

Correct, buttons only

Disable touch screen for water use

Yo!
Does anyone know of an app that will let me disable the touch screen, so I can use my tablet while I'm in the shower and watch YouTube without water making the screen go crazy?
I haven't found one in the store that disables the soft buttons as well, and that is a problem because water will press the home button

there's no way to disable the nav bar and soft buttons unless you root the tablet

I thought I could until I just tried now and can't! I can double tap zoom out about 1 in 20 attempts.
Did Chrome get updated recently and broken or is this yet another touch screen issue?
No idea. Tried beta as well as ticking enable force zoom in accessibility.
I don't think it's a multi touch fault as in testing programs it's definitely detecting double taps

Works perfectly on my device.
Perhaps it's something that relates to the touchscreen problem on your tablets?
Update it works only in portrait mode. Wtf

[Q] How To Take A Pictures Underwater

Hello,
I'm just asking something about taking pictures underwater. As far as I know, there are so many review about "video recording" not taking pictures under water using ur Z2.
So, maybe some of you already trying to take a pictures under water, as far as I know, you can take a Pictures if it on timer (i try it but no working) because it's not working when in the water. And another option is using smile detection, but it's not really effective i think,
The last thing i know is using camera button near the volume buttons, it's ok to using it under water ? Will the water coming in to the phones when i pressed it ? anybody have the experienced for this ?? thanks.
its IP58 Certifies meaning that with this phone you can almost do anything underwater exept open the flaps
underwater the screen doesent respont but you can use the camera button

Best way I've found is open the app, and either start the video then submerge the phone and video, or use the camera button to snap away.
I've found it only works when fully submerged. If only half the phone is under then the water presses buttons, however when it's fully under its fine. Must be that the water is acting as your fingers so when only half or part submerged it just presses there, however when it's completely under it doesn't quite know where to press, so it doesn't. If that makes any sense haha. My advice. Fully submerge and either start recording before, or for pictures, use the shutter button on the side
Attached is a quick one I just took

In small apps there is a touch block floating app. I'm pretty sure it's there so you can take underwater pictures without the screen going mental.

What's that? Is it a setting or an app you download?

Press the multitasking button, then the small grey arrow in the bottom left corner. There should be an icon called touch block right there. It's preinstalled on the phone.

I found that focusing on something out of the water then taking a picture underwater works best. But that's just me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm little confused. I know touch block already, but how can i take a pictures under water since I can't press the camera button ? using a timer ?
It just blocks the screen. Shutter button still works.

Nice advice, I'll try later.. so it's Ok for real to using the camera button ?
Absolutely. I've done it loads. Only way to take pics underwater. Personally I think that's the main reason why it's there

Thanks for all of your experiences and knowledge. I think all the answer is really helpful thanks everyone. Cheers :good::good:
You can try "Underwater Camera (Waterproof Camcorder)" , use the "VOLMUE UP / VOLMUE DOWN" button to start and stop the camera, and turn off the auto focus, focus on infinity.

Check light sensor.
Maybe when you replace screen, you take a damge to sensor. Normal when you dt2w, phone will check light sensor first, and then will allow screen on.
