yes
if your device isnt water resistant then it isnt air tight, so if your device is sealed and your are increasing the preassure by squeezing your phone a tiny bit then its theoreticly water resistant..
and since your preasure value should only increase if your flaps are close this only increases the validity of this test.
(mine do atleast )
Tnx
Thanks for your fast reply , can you reply me this too siince I see you have Z2 like me http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/sony-xperia-z2-xperias-mode-t3047209

Btw this is how my Z2 reacts on pressure sensor when I press it from 1013 it goes to 1023 then it comes to back 1013 in faster then second when I stop pressing it, also when I keep pressure (my thumbs on phone few secs) it goes from 1023 to 1013 slowly even if I'm not removing my thumbs from phone, so I hope it's good or should it stay from 1013 to 1023 whole time I'm pressing it (not removing thumbs)?
It's a normal thing when you pressed and pressure jump at first and come back to normal. It's because pressue stabilizes it self in phone.
So?
also when I keep pressure (my thumbs on phone few secs) it goes from 1023 to 1013 slowly even if I'm not removing my thumbs from phone, so I hope it's good or should it stay from 1013 to 1023 whole time I'm pressing it (not removing thumbs)? So this is normal too?
It's normal, nothing to worry about but for me, a real waterproof test is when you actually put your phone in water ! ;D
I have to disagree.
If your front or back glass gets loose, it won't be waterproof anymore but when you compress the phone it will temporarily close the gap and you'll see pressure rise in your phone.
Oh

Oh man you shouldn't reply me that . My Z2 has 2 minor gaps like all waterproof xperias have, sheet of small and thin paper can go through but not deep. I'm not scared of that but my Z2 creaks too, when I push it stronger below sony logo on back. With all that pressure test works great like it should and guy from which I bought phone told me he used it in pool, I also saw pictures and videos he did not deleted but I'm still scared to put it in water. Ordering new usb and microsd flaps from ebay now and magnetic charger so I would not need to open flaps anymore, device is going to be 9 months old soon .
PS: Sony said that flaps are not thing you need to be concerned of with waterproofing.
I'm sorry but I don't know about that gaps.
Please tell me what to look for.
My z2 has the frame that moves a bit, around the power button, and it worries me a lot because I really need it to be waterproof....
it's not a 100% sure test. I tested my phone with this method and it worked, but then I tried to submerge my phone into water and a few hours later my touchscreen got broken. here is a link to my thread about the water damage.

Did someone tried test with pressing screen and blocking those 3 little holes on the bottom of phone which are loudspeakers. Pressure stays same in my case 1005 whole time I'm covering that 3 holes with other hand and nit removing pressure with my other hand (squeezing device).

Was anyone able to do this? I'm stuck on the sensor part! I can dettach the back part, but it's still stuck somewhere :\
EDIT: just did it. lots of parts were "glued" to the original front case, so i had to be very carefull taking them out.
Really Usefull..
Nice Video Tutorial, now i can change my backcover on my neo! thx
very useful, planning to get a white neo v case after warranty expired
i'm planning to remove a speck of dust between glass and Lcd
never seen something similar in a smartphone
chinese assembly ....

Bought mine on ebay for about 25€ with the chrome parts + buttons.They're cheaper if you don't need these.
i want disassembly only the front cover to remove a little speck of dust under the glass, but is it so easy like appear?
The cover is glued to the phone or not?
Could be consequences for this procedure, can i compromit the air gap?
I don't want remove a speck of dust and then with the use collect 100 of them .
If i get the phone to service, i will lose all my mods .
Please, say me is a safety procedure and very very easy.
The neo doesn't have an air gap, Arc only. I think you will get only more dust, I had the samebon my older SE phone l

Do you speak about the disassembly ?
Of course if you don't pay care, you can get more dust, you have to be fast and precise, not opening all the glass, but only a bit.
In someway the employe had to assembly it during the process and perhaps a little speck of dust remained between lcd and glass, but is is too visible under sun light.
If a careless employe allowed the access of a speck of dust, i can do better because i have not hurry, so i'm not worried about more dust during this process.
I ask you this question only to know if can enter more dust when the phone is again assembled.
Now, apart this speck of dust just out of the box, never entered dust in these months.
Okay that is a video to bookmark!
About a dust specle: Use a can with compressed air, I believe it's called Dustfree or something. Don't start with cotton swipes, you'll make it worse.
Hi,
I've disassemble my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V yesterday and mounted it again now with a white housing, but now whenever I make a call, as soon as I press on the CALL button the screen automatically goes black... as it happens with we put the phone in contact with our ear or head.
I disassemble and assemble it again a few times but still the same problem...
I'm guessing I've messed up the sensor, but I can not be sure...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,

I'd like to know too please... though I've already broken the ribbon cable and am replacing the digitizer...
EDIT
Actually I meant I broke the small ribbon cable but anyway. I found out how to do it, take a thin, small and sharp knife then very gently cut away the glue, it should come off very easily. Then slowly prise the connected section of the phone, I don't know the name but the part with the orange cables. You will have to cut away more glue and you will also have to prise it off the rubber as it is quite firmly stuck in the rubber. Hope I helped, this image should help you figure what should dis-attach from the casing.

When you reassemble the phone, do you have to glue the sensors back? If you do, what type of glue do I use?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
Since you bought it, has your battery decreased in durability? Are any of the power/volume buttons damaged through normal use? Flaps still in place? Any bad scratches? Have you noticed any slowdowns of the NAND memory? Anything else?
I've owned mine for 7 months now, and it's still like new. I can get two days of use out of the battery, and the buttons are fine. I've dropped it on the floor once (naked), but it took no damage, fortunately. I've since kept it in a case and with two tempered glass protectors. It should last at least a couple of years more, I think. Very happy with the build quality of this device and will definitely consider another Sony when the time comes.
I'm on my second GPe, the first one kept freezing/rebooting on me. Other than that, the phone has been fantastic.
Since I made this post, my phone has spontaneously rebooted on me twice while watching YouTube videos. This really sucks.
*edit*
My problems are stemming from something I've installed on both phones. The likelihood of getting two phones that exhibit this same rebooting problem is slim, and I can find no instance of other people having these problems, no matter how deeply I search the web. After factory resetting this second phone, and installing absolutely nothing on it, I'm not getting any reboots.
Three months having this phone now.
Got unlucky and dropped it before I got a case, on hard floor, but luckily only a scratch on the right corner.
Other than that, everything is fine.
Love this phone.
Need to replace the flap that covers micro usb charging port, it was my fault as I put it in tool pouch I use for carrying it in without closing and it snagged when taken out and broke.
The usb port flap might cause some problems. The rubber part in mine fell off and i ordered another flap from ebay. I sure hope it works
Sent from my C6802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i got mine for 2 month i love phone so mutch but dont like how sensitive screen is. i am thinking to make dock charging so i dont need to open flaps every 2 day when i charge device,for now flaps are exelent buttons to. no random restarts on stock 4.4.4 rooted.
software running fine...
micro scratches on the front.. deeper scratch at the back.. i'm sure it's just the ASF that has scratched
dented corner from dropping it once

I put good screen protectors on the front and back of mine because I knew the ASF would get scratched. I definitely don't want go through the ordeal of chiseling those off.
Mine drop 3 times,ear speaker broken,scratch and dent at corners, screen perfect,battery still good,USB flap change once.
1 year this October Well battery life is still about the same, maybe a little bit lower but that might get affected by other factors. Got smashed on the magnetic dock lip, initially the metallic strip got bent out of the body but i straightened the metal manually and almost no visible damage. the rubber on the USB port almost got detached but thankfully it hasn't, still water proof. using tempered glass on both side. Still going strong.
45days now and so far running alright. Just upset at how quickly the oleophobic coating started wearing off and a tiny bit disappointed that the top and bottom bezel is plastic so mine has the coating chipping off on our end order from a drop. I don't know if it me or everyone has this but the screen is just too sensitive by default. Whenever there would be wind I get random presses all over but I've increased the filter for touch sensitivity so it's all good for now.
Very good build
Been using Ultra since 10 months. Dropped 3-4 times no any damage, battery defiantly last for at least 24 hours, since I am very heavy user watch movies or you-tube at least 2-3 hours a day and browse net for least 1 hour and play games as well so considering my use I would say defiantly battery life is good might decrease performance little bit. just damaged USB cover and i would say its my fault reason I never covered it proper since got this phone. other then this everything as new. I am really happy with this phone.
Well that was almost a very expensive 1 hour call back to work tonight.
As I was about to leave work at 8pm I dropped the new GPe on to the concrete floor. I'm lucky that it was in a flip cover, but I still broke the top plastic bezel after breaking the cover. It bounced and then landed on the bottom right corner and cracked the cover there as well.

Damn blue...I'm really sorry to hear that this happened to you. I suppose it could have been worse though eh? Have you ordered the replacement trim piece yet? if you do replace it, please take some photos of how it's all done :fingers-crossed:
^ yea would love to know too. Been meaning to see how the replacement is done. Like do you need to dismantle the phone to replace it is it like a clip on? Stuff like that
it looks like it is just glued and clipped in with the aluminum case under it
I'm 12 months in, and my ZU is still kicking like a champ. I dropped it on the ground a few weeks back and it scratched the bottom left bezel a little bit, but other than that, it's totally fine. The ASP on the back has a lot of scratches, but i don't care since i can remove/replace it. I'll probably hold on to my ZU until the Z3X or something comes along. I've been super happy with Sony, so i'll probably stick with them. No point in upgrading this year though (unless you have something weaker than the S800). No point in upgrading to 801-805 if you have the 800. 810 will make things interesting again.
My 2 weeks-old xperia z2 fell off a friend's hand today and its back glass got shattered! I checked locally and there isnt any replacement part around me so i had to order for it from aliexpress(reliable??),which will take atleast three weeks before i will get it,so im stuck with a shattered phone for now,im totally screwed right now aaaarrggghhh!!
Anyways Has anybody gone through this before? My concern is the adhesive fixed beneath the panel,will the phone retain so called "water proof" after the replacement? will it lose its integrity? Since its just adhesive perhaps some part will not glue back properly will that be susceptible to dust settlement? Will NFC still function properly?
And oh! i thought i read its "shatter proof" before i bought the phone ...perhaps i didnt read well??
Shatter proof?
No such thing and it doesnt say it on the sony website from my last checking
Water resistancy should be kept intact if the sealing is properly kept intact or replaced, NFC i dont realy know enougu about to answer for you

To answere your question, the back cover is not shatter proof, its a dragon trail tempered glass that means its supposed to be scratch resistant but not shatter proof. the NFC will still work if you replace the back cover. and as far as I know every back replacement have the doble side tape, so you can take off the one on your phone and just place the back replacement that comes with its propper tape.
About the water proof, let me tell you that actually this is not a water proof phone, its more actually a water resistant phone, keep in mind that what makes this phone resist to water is the tape on the back and front pannels and the flaps. but to be honest I dont see this phone like water proof. you can take the phone out when its raning , take it with you hands wet. but once you replace the back cover you have to be sure that the tape of the back is water proof tape.
I dissasembly my Z2 and now that I know what make the phone water resist, I wont take the risk to try it on a pool .

I'm not sure if Sony is advertising false info. firstly the picture you included is clearly in the DISPLAY section. Secondly, you've quoted gsm arena and not Sony as the source of the information. Finally I always thought shatter-proof means it won't break into a million pieces and cut your fingers and not that if you drop it onto a hard surface it won't creak.

Yap, shatter proof means exactly that, when you drop it the back panel will probably crack but it will not break in million pieces like a regular glass. :thumbup:

Hi guys,
Long story short, took my phone to the pool, took the kids some pics and underwater video and the phone started to reboot... At first i thought it was by mistake, the 2nd time i started to look into it and saw the "can't read sim card" message. That was the sign that told me my baby have had issues. The screen got water, the cameras got foggy. I was able to shake some of the water out it through the ports.
I can't tell if it was a dirty flap or a fall it took 2 days ago and it hit the top right corner. Anyway, the phone is working now. However, the screen has water and it looks like blemishes.
Should i be worried or do something about it? Please see the pics, the screen looks awful [emoji20] [emoji17]

I'm sorry to say that these patches cannot be removed, I had several phone with water damage, and the screen always remains that what whatever I do to it .
Again, a warning for everyone, the whole Z series isn't water resistant, it might survive a very few seconds underwater, but not enough to take pictures and have fun with it. Better not put it in water at all, a water splatch accident is manageable and wouldn't inflict damage to the phone

Turn it off and put it in a bag of raw rice for atleast a couple of days.. Open all your flaps and then put it.. Don't turn it on until u r sure atleast most of that water is gone..
Thanks. Lesson learned.
It seems this it for my Z2. I did the pictures before, what i did different was to leave it in my side poket for about 30 seconds. It probably was 2 feet deep. They say 3 feet should be fine. Also the flaps get dirty from time to time, and it doesn't close well enough. I'd probably be back when there is no flap. The Z4 seems to be going in the right direction.

Had similar experience taking pictures and videos under water and after about an hour or two it was still fine. I only started seeing tiny dew on the main camera when the phone starts to heat.
The next day I have to open the back and clean the dew. It was just some three tiny dots but directly in front of the camera lens so taking a picture is blurry.
After cleaning it, covered it back and it's normal as before.
As for your own, water probably entered the front panel and that could affect the screen permanently and would probably need replacing the screen if you want it the way it was.
But I think you should let a good phone service person open it and see, it could be that the water is between the digitizer and the LCD. In that case could be cleaned.

yeah it sucks though. if its as you say, i hope the water dries cuz i wouldnt open it myself. i am going to wait another week or so...This is supposed to be my work phone, they gave me an iphone 5s a year ago or so but i got rid of it to get me the xperia. i might just ask for another iphone since my android option with work is pretty much the S5 and i have a note 4... for now this will do to make/receive phone calls and read /send emails
I was wondering if there any way to improve the water-proofness of the xperia
because I think the plays aren't secure enough! they feel easily! and I'm afraid to use my phone under water! !
is there another kind of smaller flaps that are fixed under the main flaps!
I've already searched for such a thing! but without any chance!
Buy new flaps. Ebay.
Z2 is a great phone but when it comes to its waterproof ability definately SUCKS !!!
I just saw too many Z2 for sale just for 50-60 euro because waterdamaged and threads with people complaining about dead Z2 by water damage . Just don't water it , if you use it in rain maybe is OK but not underwater .
These waterproof smartphones nowadays are way far from being 100% waterproof , unless they cover circuits with a resin like substance there will always be a a risk like a tiny design flaw or a case deformation that will allow water enter into the phone and turn it into a paper weight .
ON TOPIC : use this to improve z2 waterproof ability LOL

because people do not use it with the flaps fully covered/ not damaged or they use it below 1 meter etc
People often don't keep their flaps dust-free.
Dust on the rubber seal on the flaps will case them to leak when under water.
As I keep my flasp clean and dust-free, they are waterproof.
I've had my phone below 3 meters under water, recording video, and it works great. No issues with water.
I did notice that, if one do use soap or other detergents, it seems to "disrupt" the water-phobic property of the speaker openings. Why I suspect this, is because I did "destroy" one Xperia Z2 trying to clean it with soap and water. Device got instantly filled to the brim with water, and I suspect that it did happen when the soap got into contact with the speaker openings.
Anyone who can confirm or dismiss this theory?
i think we dont need that this phone quite proofly
just to let you guys know!
I was very anxious about using my phone under water!
and I was right!!!!! the first time i used it, somehow it got water-damaged !
I've sent it back to the seller for replacement and started looking for a WAY TO IMPROVE ITS WATERPROOF CAPABILITIES !
all i got is a case calle "Love mei" ! so i thought it would be cool to share it with you guys!

I clean my phone once in a while with soap and water but not like submerging the phone in water and using soap just by gently cleaning it, One time the soap did enter my speakers and I tried to play music and the speakers were crackling ( boy I thought it's dead) after some time I checked it was working fine
The only solution would be to coat all electronic components (and then some) with Liquipel or some alternative. There's been a bunch of horror stories tho.
the real horror story is when water gets to you phone!!
in fact i bought an xperia z2 about 4 months ago and the first day i submerged it in water it got damaged! (i sent it back for exchange)
so yeah! despite it's waterproof, I'm not getting my new phone under water again!
I went to the waterfall with my xperia z2
damaged my screen
randomly touches anywhere specially when phone is heated up
was using it for around 3 months after damaging
I asked sony service center, they told be it will cast me 9K in INR
gave it to the local repair shop
lets see what happens
