Sony xperia S water damage sticker???

Hello,
Anyone has an ideea where is the water damage indicator on Xperia S and if there are more than one??? I bought the phone 2 months ago and 3 weeks back tried to change the screen foil and i think i put a little bit too much of the liquid i was provided with that screen protector because the screen started to catch a gray tint and in 2 days only a few bright pixels left on the bottom of the screen. The rest of the display looks like it has a dark foil on it. I sent the phone for repair but the answer was it has water damage and we can give you 10% off to buy a new one. So where is/are that water damage sticker and is there a way to make them white again so i can send it again to repair??? Thank you!!!
isn't this illegal?
Why should it be ilegal?
They just protect them frome charghes like you want to do.

Yep, its fraud.
Trying to deceive Sony into repairing your phone after you have damaged it is fraud and posting here on Xda how to do it will not be tolerated!!

Change the Neo V housing - detouching the touch screen.

I bought a new housing for my neo V as I have several scratches on the body of the device.
A video helped me dissasemble the device, but it did not show how to detouch the touchscreen glass and the front camera/sensors/speaker from the face body.
I found another video that shows by heating it can be easily detouched, seems like it is glued.
Is there anyone who tried that and could help?
Same problem

Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you solve this, if so how did you do it?
Looks like no one here has tried this. I ordered a new housing for my old Neo (S3 owner now) in order to sell it cuz the old plastic is full if scratches. When it ships i'll attempt to change it and give you an reply how that went.

Why don't you go to service center and request them to change it for you .. Or else go to any local mobile service stores..

I just changed mine and got stuck at the same step.
The whole thing is glued to the front case. You can carefully cut the glue and remove the camera/sensors.

Does anyone know how to replace the digitizer only?

Does anyone know how to replace the digitizer only?
I checked youtube how to replace the lcd + digitizer front panel set but I cant find anything on just removing the digitizer from the lcd.
I checked aliexpress and found
"Touch Screen Glass lens Digitizer Panel Replacement For Sony Togari Xperia Z Ultra C6802 XL39h Original free shipping"
for $90.
Do I need the
"5X Digitizer Touch Panel Adhesive Sticker Rubberized For Sony Ericsson Xperia Z Ultra XL39H C6802,Togari,Xperia L4,Xperia ZU"
on aliexpress to make the digitizer stick to the lcd?
Or should I just fork out $150 for the lcd and digitizer set for an easier way?
But I would prefer just doing the digitizer way cause its more cheaper.
Any input would be great guys. Thank you.
AFAIK is almost impossible to remove it as they were bonded with good adhesive....
Some professional equipment are available to remove them but it cost quite a bit to do so...
Even if you managed to pull it off. You cannot water proof it anymore.

Is it the same as the "Z" ?
I saw this youtube video " watch?v=1TFFHFHUJjc " and I feel like I could do it. Search "Sony Xperia Z Separate Touch Screen (Digitizer Glass) Scotle PR-1000 "
Clamps, Heat gun, UV LOCA glue, and Molybdenum wire. I think I could pull it off.

U can try but is not that easy like what they said...
It take alot of patient which i dont hv...
Good luck and pls do update us...
I fixed it already. BUT! I dont know if the digitizer is defective or I messed up the connections when I took the old one off and the new one on or maybe it some how bent or the gule is somehow uneven and it is making the touches off point.
i.e.
I turn on show visable pointer upon touch in developer options.
When I touch the top right it clicks on the bottom left. vice versa.
When I drag down it drags right. vice versa.
Or maybe I need to calibrate the touch screen? I actually trying to search it now how to do it.
Any suggestions guy on any of this?
Please help.
How did you do it? only heat gun?
My Z cracked long time ago..and now my xperia L too So I guess I could try to repair my xperia Z, but I don't want to pay for a whole LCD.
Only heat gun and wire worked?
Besides can you remove the digitizer and LCD and then remove the digitizer? Or it has to be when still glued/connected to the phone?

hey, take your sony z2 in some bright light and open your micro sd flap and see in the top / bottom where the slot is placed and you should see a piece of white paper and if it's pink means water got in

[Q] Xperia Z2 water damaged

On Tuesday, I partially immersed my Xperia Z2 in water and somehow water got in [I am positive the flaps were sealed tightly (As a matter of fact, I didn't even submerge that part.)] I immediately turned the phone off and shook some water out of it and placed it in the sun. A few hours later, I turned on the device to find water in the display. I again turned it off and placed it in a box of rice and silica gel.
So today is the second day after the disaster. The phone seems to be functioning properly and I GUESS some of the water dried out.
SO this is what the display looks like as of now. (I attached an image)
Now, I don't know if this is just water (I believe that's what it is) or if the display is just damaged and I need to get it replaced?
I would really appreciate any kind of help

Can you please attatch a picture (or maybe email it to me at [email protected]) just so I can see what the display looks like..
Did you like try to do anything on your own with the phone to dry the water out or something?
Also, how long was your phone wet before you took it to the technician?
-Thank you

I thought the Z2 is water proof. Isn't it ?

Some Z2s have a slightly open area between their frame and the screen. It's a manufacturing defect.
Does this defect exist even in recently manufactured units? I mean once Sony became aware of the defect they didn't bother correcting the manufacturing flaw ?
Every-time I submerge my Z2 underwater.. more or less 10cm- 20cm there is some condensation buildup on the cameras and flash. All flaps are closed, is this normal??
Here's mine after some water splash, I didn't even submerge the phone.
I tried to make the water dissappear by playing some games so the device gets hot, then I put it on the magnetic charger and the next morning the water was gone.
Warranty should cover it but I just didn't want to be without the phone for 3 weeks

That's not a good sign, it means water got into the phone, I wouldn't submerge it ever again if I was you

Nope, that shouldn't happen to a water-proof phone at all.

Pretty bad waterproofing then! I also have a bit of moisture on the screen.
Will be leaving the phone overnight in rice, hoping it helps!

Much easier way: place the phone in an air-tight container filled with rich (or even silica gel). Works like a charm!
