Hello guys, I bought a Xperia Z2 3 months back and never tested it underwater i am actually scared to do it, and also i couldn't find any water damage indicators inside the flaps i can only see the hard reset button near to the sim card slot which is red in color.
Kindly do suggest me can i go for the underwater test...thank you...
They are on the inside of the phone
And for waterproof testing
Close your flaps, open the service menu (google it) and go to presure sensor
The sensor should increase even a tiny bit when putting preasure on the surface of your phone when the flaps are closed
Open your flaps and the preasure sensor should do nothing
This is a good indication of your devicr being water resistant
So the indicators are not visible to us, Thank you for the information.
And i did the pressure sensor test, by closing the flaps with out any pressure the value is 1013 and when i put some pressure the value increases to 1018, 1019 and gets back to the normal value 1013. when i release the pressure its goes down to 1009, 1008 and again gets back to the normal value 1013.
When pressure applied by the flaps open there is no changes (didn't do nothing).
Is my device water resistance...!

I tried this waterproof test method and it increased for me about 5mb. after that I tried with water and my phone seemed it's waterproof but few hours later the touchscreen wasn't wroking good

It's not sure it was water damage but I think it was, and my phone passed the test so it's not a reliable test. I recommend you to not try with water if you don't want to use your phone in wet conditions, but if you want then go ahead. Also check that your device has build quality issues or not. Look for gaps at the corners of the front and back glass.
why my phone stock or orginal value is too low ?my orginial value is 939 ...

Hey guys.
Today I found myself facing moisture inside my camera after giving the Z2 a small kitchen sink wash using only the water coming from the tap.
After an hour, when i went to take a picture, it was all foggy and to my surprise, the lens was completly obstructed by condensated water.
I read 1 fix on XDA and the rest of the internet -> return it, ask for a brand new one.
Well, if you are like me and don't usually take it for a bath or go into a pool (odd enough i had put it on the sink full of water for half an hour and nothing happened), there is a "fix" for it, which I got from common sense. What i mean by common sense is that if you heat water it evaporates, but since the camera is, i suppose, a bit isolated from the rest, you cannot just let the water go away on it's own, you have to give it some help.
So, what i did was: 1 - TURN OFF YOUR PHONE; 2- open both flaps; 3- Heat the phone with a hair dryer (i really mean heat it, so the watter does not return to liquid state imediatelly) 4 - Suck the moisture out from the left side (closest to the camera) flap with your mouth; 5 - WAIT FOR IT TO COOL BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON; 6 - go take a well deserved picture.
It goes away in a day at most anyway, it's simple science hot air hitting cold air = condensation, it's unavoidable

If the water is inside it does not come out in a day, the phone is sealed in.
Even if it did, this is an easy fix and gets rid of the water inside your phone, so your answer manages to add no value.
Nor does your so called fix
Code:
i had this on my xperia z1 after a day of been cinstantly damp and intermitantly soaked but my phone was hot from use. When i opened the ports it all cleared up within a minute

Your phone has a lot of expressly sensitive electrical components. I don't think it's advisable to heat it like this unless you want to fry components and loosen the glue that holds stuff together.

Have the same few days ago. And did the same without hairdryer. First cold water from sink. After pass waterproof test i got phone with me to shower. After that i saw condesation inside. I almost died,one week old phone. But i open flaps, do everything without no.3, + sillica gel for 2 days , laying on the warm heater one night. Now everything is good, everything works, indicator under microsd flap is white. I think everthing is cool, what's yours opinion?
Just got the Problem
I just got this problem.
Before seeing this post I was so worried. Now, I'm feeling relaxed.
Thanks
same happened to me, just washing grease off phone using tab water. so does this only effect the glass on top of the camera? is the rest of the phone actually still waterproof? i'm a bit confused, so does this proof that our ip58 actually working or not? i never had this problem with my z1
Ah yes I remember that happening back when my Xperia Z initially died on me.
what would you guys recommend i do? repair it or just give up on it?
I have new phone, the old one wasn't waterproof. So if you can - repair i think.
thanksss ..
I've done so many ways to eliminate the moisture in my z3 lens .. with the rice , silica gel .. and it still kept coming back
but with your way , the moisture inside my phone immidiately gone and the way is logical as well ..

I did the same thing only I used a vacuum cleaner instead of my mouth
For the common sense; the phone turns itself off if it reaches to almost 100°C. If a passively cooled CPU is allowed to reach that high it means the back cover which is supposed to handle both the heat of the SoC and the battery, is also safe against temperatures that human skin can not.
I believe hair drier makers are also aware of human skin's sensitivity to heat, and design their products according to that.
So using a hair drier to a mobile device not more than you use it on your hair, which is generally wet with the risk of over heating, from the same distance should make no harm on the device.

I used my table lamp to heat the water.
Thank you badjoras, it works for my z3 that I have left at the bottom of the pool for 5 minutes. The condensation occured even after the phone has successfully passed the pressure (barometer) test before swimming. I used heat gun from a safe distance (30-40 cm) for a few seconds before sucking the air using my mouth, and repeated the procedure for three or four times before all the water disappeared.
I got some dust particles on the inside of the lens which really annoys me. Due to this the camera does not focus correctly.
I really want to keep the phone waterproof so i am afraid to take it apart to clean it. Anyone experience similar issues or even swapped the backcover? Any recommendations for a backcover that ensures waterproof ability after swapping it?
thanks!

If you're getting dust under the lens you're obviously not water tight. I have ordered a replacement back and it cracked just picking it up. I don't know how fragile the original is but I'd be very careful while removing it. New seals can be bought for a few bucks.
not sure where this came from - the body is 100% waterproof...maybe "dust" particle is not the correct explanation
maybe is scratch dots from keys in you pocket?
it abit look like dust...
i mixed my pockets by mistake and left few dots maybe u did it lots of times.. ( i know the lens is plastic and not scratch resistance ) so i try to avoid keys in the same pocket

the scratches on the outside of the lens are no problem since the sony coated this and also polishing is working quite well. also i checked this several times with a magnifier.
i have uploaded a picture of the particle that causes the faulty autofocus. at the picture on the right you can see that this is on the inside of the lens.
since the phone is waterproof this is quite clearly a production fault but since i need the phone for my everyday work and life issuing a rma at sony is no option for me.
i was just wondering is someone else experienced anything similar or swapped the backcover and tested waterproof
You can test your waterproofness of your phone to do the pressure test in the service menu.
Go to dialer and dial *#*#service#*#*, go to service test and then pressure sensor. The value indicated on the screen should increase by pressing on your screen when the phone is still waterproof.

that's fine. Mine is also just a few millibar. try it with the simtray flap open. It won't increase a bit.

Hi
I have had the same kind of dust in my XZ5
I sent it back and they have exchanged with a new device.
Manufacturing issue... It could happen
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
since sony support couldn't offer me an adequate solution for their manufacturing error I decided to find a solution by myself.
primary most important was for me that i do not open the device.
I got rid of the particle by freezing the phone in the freezer for 20min and tapping on the lens. The particle fell off and now somewhere i do not care about )
if someone has a similar issue this might be also an alternative solution
Same problem here. It supprises me the presition in which this product was conceived with programmed obsolescence. Just after guaranty ended I began to notice blurs and dust.
I suppose gaskets became less performant as they get harder and they can't hold pressure changes anymore, like when you take a plane or enter a tunnel in a train.

I have the same translucent gray dust spots on my rear camera, and tapping and bumping with strenght makes them moving around. Of course this is programmed obsolescence.
Moreover they fill phones with glue and adhesives for "water-proofness" purposes... but after 2 years of daily use, noone sane minded would submerge any phone and if you have the need, you can't easily fix anything inside the phone or change battery if you aren't a technician , because you have to use professional tools to melt glue and move parts.
That's the current world of "water-proof", thin smartphones.
Something must change if we don't want to swim in oceans made of electronic rubbish in the near future.
Everyone Participate Please
I'm about to buy this phone so just wanted to make sure if anyone had issues with waterproofing or water test fails like previous Xperia phones.
Please give me your experience with this device in wet conditions
So far I have found the Z5C has way better waterproofing than the z3c, as you are not needing to move the flap to charge the phone all the time
I have used my phone in the ocean (even though it is not specifically designed to be used in the ocean) and washed it off with fresh water afterwards multiple times, and it works like a charn, no leaks or condensation
@nzzane
Great to hear!
Headphones and sound issues till dries
Also, a kind of obvious note. You will have to wait till the phone dries to charge it, and sound quality will be a bit muffled due to the water (until it dries)
@smardu @nzzane
I can live with that
ill recommend to put duct tape on the string hole
i found on my test water can enter from there only
@Superrman
Are the string hole and flaps connected like open tunnel between them (considered faulty units)?
showers, rinses(not washing machine, just tap or hose), thunderstorms A+ for this phone so far!
Sound does get muffled in direct spray and the occasional water drop changes the song lol but all in all had the phone for a year and could sell it as NEW if needed
@Tingles
I guess Sony waterproof smartphones are getting better and better!

I ran mine under a tap and five minutes later the screen stopped working lol.

Our device has these ratings
IP6X. Dust tight.
IPX5. Protected against low-pressure water jet spray for at least 3 minutes.
IPX8. Protected against the effects of continued immersion in water at depths greater than 1 metre. The exact conditions are specified for each device by the manufacturer.
Here's the address for proper precautions for our device, plus some other info.
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/dm/waterproof/
Although now that you have had it repaired I would be a little more delicate with that device.:fingers-crossed:
When your phone gets opened, generally consider it to lose its water proofness. However I have been able multiple times using hot glue to perfectly seal it again.
Remember there's an easy and reliable way to check if your Xperia is water proof: Xperia Water Resistance Test
For my Z2 I read that you can test the phone's waterproofing with the pressure sensor in service menu. I tested my new XZ1 and it was good, when I pressed the phone the pressure rised and the phone kept the pressure until I released it, so it was OK. I even washed my phone with water . But some days ago when I get out of my car, I accidentally dropped my phone on the stone driveway. After that I checked the phone if it is OK, and it just had a slight scratch on the housing, nothing broken or anything. Next day I checked the waterproofing with the pressure sensor and it just rised when I pressed it, but didn't kept the pressure, it fall to the normal value while I was pressing it. And I read that the phone's that act the way as my phone now, aren't waterproof. After that I didn't want to try the phone with water, so please help me if you have similar experiences or know anything about this

Type *#*#7378423#*#* there is an Pressure sensor test
Gesendet von meinem G8341 mit Tapatalk
Back in the days when I owned my Xperia Z3 there was a thread (linked below) that helped users check if their phone was waterproof by using the built in pressure sensor in the hidden menu, if you want to read it in detail then I've linked the thread, but basically once you where in the pressure sensor test you'd slightly compress the phone using your thumb and index finger by pressing on the display and back.
Then: (From OP)
"If all seals are intact the pressure should rise.
Your phone*with intact seals is a closed*system.
If you compress the volume the pressure goes up as a result.
If any of the seals is compromised pressure will not rise."
"Note: pressure will decrease automatically"
So basically my question is, is there any equivalent of this for our Mate 10 Pro, I had a nasty drop recently and I'm concerned it could have potentially compromised a seal or something, and water damage isn't covered in our warranty so I don't want to risk it.
Please no replies about how I just shouldn't use it underwater etc. I often take underwater shots with my Mate 10 Pro.
Any help/replies are really appreciated

A lot of the sensor apps don't actually measure the pressure of the phone they do the air pressure based on your GPS location, it's hard to differentiate the 2 when searching, also I've read that third party apps don't give a accurate reading without root access, that's why I specifically referenced the Xperia thread because that one was accessible through the built in hidden menu from Sony themselves.

You literally type sensors in the playstore and download the first app - sensors multitool.
Root access isn't required to perform such check. Even the thread you linked clearly states that the function found in the factory test mode is basically a barometer output readout which means any 3rd party app that is able to read sensors data should be fine.
Tho your device might still seem water resistant upon performing this, keep in kind that it only tells you that the seal isn't broken yet.
Meaning even a small splash could reach into the device if the seal is already weakened .
If you have any friends that are in the repair business ( Repairing latest flagships ) ask around, they usually have tools for determinating water resistance of devices after repair.

Thank you fo the tip. Could someone kindly post a screenshot of what fingers' pressure produce on a graph ? I had my Mate 10 Pro opened at a Huawei Repair center for a screen replacement (OLED oled burn in), and the pressure graph does not show any relevant variation...
Before and after they proceeded with screen (and back cover as they messed up the first time, it was not perfectly glued) replacement, I asked them about IP waterproof/certification, they answered me they take care of this applying a new seal...

If yours is 1003 and mines 1015 and you know that yours is waterproof then I can only assume mine isn't right?, If you get a moment could you take out the SIM card tray and see what the number changes to? Because with the SIM tray out, then the phone obviously isn't water tight.

When removing sim pressure does nothing. It stays at 1003

I have never done that. But I haven't dropped it either... So I can't say for sure it is waterproof.
But I can compare to my Mate 9 which has been dropped a few times, not by high heights but anyway.
Edit: Removing case from mate 10 pro increased pressure rating to 1004. But it's exactly the same on my Mate 9. I guess altitude counts in too?

I'm trying to find SOMETHING on this subject, but most topics are about already broken seals...
But as you wrote in OP, the seal should be intact if pressure goes up when you put pressure on the display. Which it does for both of us.
Right now it's 1009 hPa here in the air, 42m above sea level. I will check again tomorrow and see if 1004 increases or not
Edit: And checking the posts in the thread you linked in OP, all of them have varying "start" hPa.
