Recently I bought an flip cover for my Z ultra (amazon.com/SwitchEasy-FLIP-Folio-Xperia-Ultra/dp/B00FDWMMW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420258547&sr=8-1&keywords=Switcheasy+flip+cover+z+ultra)
Whenever I put my ZU inside the cover the signal strength becomes weak. The same problem is not experienced when the phone is out of cover. What should I do? :crying:

It is caused maybe by the magnetic lock and its position. I have a similar case with no magnetic lock and the signal is OK.

I have had my tablet for a few days now, and when I first got it all the port covers fit really tight. Over the course of normal tablet use, I've noticed that the headphone jack cover does not sit flush with the tablet anymore. I have not used the headphone jack, so I don't know why it would have an issue.
It appears that the jack is being plugged properly, but I am wondering about the water resistance in this case. There seems to be a lot of daylight between the plug and the edge of the tablet. I really wanted to do an immersion test but I am hesitant now.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Do you think it would still work under water? I have the accidental damage policy in case it does fail, but I thought I'd check on the issue before getting it wet.
That is completely no longer waterproof.
Try fitting the flap from the corner that is lifted up first and then the other side.
loose cover
Mine is doing the same thing I don't use headphone either so no idea why it is not fitting any longer. I am either returning it or removing the cover as the waterproof feature is not too important to me.
Thanks for making me completely paranoid about my headphone jack cover -.-

Cover woes
I was very surprised and annoyed by this as the rest of the fit and finish is so good on the tablet. I have a Toshiba Thrive with port covers but they snap in well and don't bulge. I also have an IPAD 3 but am using the Sony only since getting it. I might exchange it since it was an Amazon purchase.
same here
i don't use the headset jack port but the flops are not that tight..
i have the same problem does anyone have his cover sitting tight like the one on the usb port?
if yes i will send it back to sony, if not they messed up.
sometimes mine fits good for a few minutes and than comes out slowly.
I wonder if certain models of the tablet have that problem. My cover is fine. Model is 13W21, 16 GB WiFi.

Common Issue
This issue is cropping up on the sony site also.
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/140727
A first device that I had (went back because of yellowish display) also had the loose headphone cover.
My current device is fine.
Similar problem just with Xperia Z smartphone
I have the same problem with my Xperia Z smartphone. While the headphone jack cover sits flush, it has a tendency to pop out leaving it open completely. This can happen if the phone is lying stationary and not in use. It must just be that the rubber seal is too tight in the cavity and works its way out slowly.

Thanks. I managed to get it to stick on a bit better by accident. I let my son actually use the headphone jack and when I reattached the cover it stayed in a little better. It is still not as tight as I'd like, but it is better.

I have two - one white, one black, both 32GB. The white one has a much tighter headphone jack cover.
Hey guys,
I got an official S-view cover from ATT store (Black) for my new note 3. I love it except for one major problem. When I fold the cover open around the back and set it down on something like a desk or table. Eventually the phone will sit completely flat against the cover and I am noticing that the cover will engage S-view mode on the phone while it it folded around the back of the phone. This is super annoying, because when its in S-View mode the phone is essentially locked and I can't do anything with it unless I un-fold the cover from around the back. I thought maybe I had a bad cover with super strong magnets or something so I returned it to ATT and bought another one from T-Mobile (This was the advice I got from Samsung support). I having the exact same problem with this one. Now I think its my phone. I can replicate this problem anytime by simply putting pressure on phone the and cover while it is folded around the back. When I hold the phone in my hand with the cover around the back it is not as prevalent because phone usually is not sitting completely flat to the cover (because the cover is still new). Once it breaks in and gets flimsy this will happen all the time completely limiting phone functional while the cover is around the back. I had the an S-View cover on a S4 and it never had this problem. Can any of you guys replicate this issue or do I have a bad phone. Please help, I need to know if I need to exchange my phone. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem here. It seems to be an issue of either the little magnet on the bottom of the cover being too strong or the sensor on the phone being too sensitive. Definitely annoying and poorly designed. I don't know of any solution. I just wedge my finger behind the cover to prevent it from tripping, but that's hardly a solution.
Can't help you with this issue.. but I got bought two knock-offs on the web and never experience anything like that. Probably the way it's built with the OEM case.
I have the same problem with my sview case for note 3.
Interesting issue. I have the wireless charging s-view case and I can confirm that this dos not happen with it. I guess that is due to the thicker back cover portion.
HEY guys i just bought a g note 3 yesterday along with the official s-view cover.
The cover functions in the way as described, but when i fold the cover full towards the back for example i fold it when i text the phones goes in to the s-view mode (like when the cover is closed) note: the cover is still open and folded towards the back of the device.
I would like to know whether this problem is caused by the cover or the phones connectivity with the cover?
Thanks for your help in advance

I used to have a similar problem when I used that case. Instead of going into S-view mode like yours does, mine would do the opposite. When I closed the cover it would show my Home screen through the cover. It sorted itself out eventually. Not sure what causes this though. Sorry I can't really be of any help other than just wait it out, it will probably start working correctly eventually. Your not the only one who has had this kind of issue though.
You should send your cover back under warranty. It is a problem with a magnet on the bottom side of the flip, which in your case is probably too strong.
Don't hesitate, This is a known manufacture problem of a few exemplars, and does not happen in working ones.
Cheers,

My s view cover doens't stay shut in most cases. I close it and it opens again - in particular once I opened it completely. Is this normal or are the magnets not strong enough and I should have it exchanged?

Mine does this, too. Not exactly what I expected for that price. But it always closed enough so that s-view was active.

Their are no magnets to keep the case closed. The magnets are there to tell the phone when to enter/exit S-View mode. Case is a good idea, but with it not closing all the way, I took mine back. Waiting on the Spigen S-View case which has a clasp to keep the cover closed. Was just announced and has a shipment date of around the 1st of the year.
Hey guys,
I got myself a View Cover for my Note 3.
Now I've got a problem:
When completely opening the cover, so that the front view is on the back of my phone, the phone goes into the "cover is closed-mode", i got that square view and can go to camera and action-memos...
But i just wanted to use my phone normally,
Is it just me with that problem or has anyone the same problems?
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's actually closed
phone is in normal mode when cover is opened
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's flipped back completely
Thanks in advance!

I've got the same problem. I stopped using the s-view case because of it.
Some people say there were some defective batches where this was an issue (magnet too strong?), and others say they don't have the issue at all.
If you have the option, try exchanging it for a different one and see if you get better results.
I had the same thing happen as well. I let the company know and they gave me a new case. Hasn't happened since.
Are you guys talking about genuine S-View covers?
Because I get that sometimes on my cover, but it is a cheap chinese knock-off, so I don't mind it at all - it rarely happens anyway.
But I wouldn't accept that on a genuine Samsung cover.
I've tried another cover, too but the problem remained. I aswell am using some chinese knockoff, although it says samsung... But yeah, can someone tell me if the original view-cover got that problems?
Thanks for your replies!

Genuine Samsung s-view cover doesn't have this issue
I've got a genuine cover and I don't have this problem at all.
If its a knock off, good chance the magnet in the front of the case is too strong. I've noticed if I put a magnet up to the bottom left of the phone, this will trick it into thinking the cover is closed. Similarly if its done from the back of the phone, if the magnet is too strong it will trigger the same. not sure if theres something you can place in the back cover of the case to shield it?

First, thanks for your reply!
I will check if I can protect the back somehow.
But anyways, I am thinking of buying another view-cover because my phone won't recognize mine from time to time... Have to reattach it to get it back working.
Hello!
I have a Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 and my gps doesn't work.My phone can't connect to any satellite.He can know my location only with my internet and that run slow and very inaccurate.I tried to repair my phone with Xperia Companion and I tried to reset cached GPS data and install A-GPS but that didn't worked too.My build number is 26.1.A.3.111.I need GPS for my maps and other apps.
Can someone help me with this problem?Sorry for my bad english.
My GPS didn't work and i ended up having to send my for repair. Since I purchased the phone pretty recently, i got it free under warrenty
Try the .167 firmware, i'm using that version because its working better with gps
Do you use some cover on the phone? Like aluminum bumper, plastic, or other? I had the same prolem. Because I was using an aluminum casing with a cover of plastic and blocked the GPS signal, and has weakened the wifi signal. Firmware 3.111. I bought the glass on the front and the back. Problem solved Unless, the gps is demaged.
