i had the issues caused by dust, cleaning it out fixed all my issues.
some people said that the rubber was sort of malformed and just presssing against it fixed their issue
you can pop the flaps out and replace them if needed.

Anyone have any recommendations?
Check eBay or.amazon for a new one. They are cheap and come in a bundle.

Buy from somewhere else and replace by yourself or take to sony but this will charge you because not cover by warranty.
Only place is Ebay. Takes 21/2 weeks to get.

Weird though, I just called Sony in Canada and they are willing to fix/replace my phone that has screen problems, usb port flap came off and speaker problems.
Why can't you just buy the part and they send it? (U have to send the device for that silly little piece right?)
I'm also interested cos I have the same problem

If you guys find a place where to buy please post it I've been looking for it with lo lockangel:
They're on eBay.
Sony needs to change this design...Or...send a couple extra with the device
Buy a magnetic charging cable! Saves the port! Yes you'll still need to open the port for communication of copying files from PC but it would be substantially less compared to opening the port to charge everyday.

If you don't wonna buy new cup, you can buy cheap glue gun,
then you put some glue on your cup, make the hole a little wet, so your glue want stick.
then wait few secs until glue will become a bit harder and close the cup.
Finally, after it will be hard enough, you can cut with razor glue you don't need.
And yeah, you can always warm up that glue with lighter, if you need to do step 2 again.
Works for me, even tested under water, but not for a long time though :good:

Bought this works great
Sent from my SM-P900 using XDA Free mobile app
From the link it shows the whole flap (w/ rubber gasket). When you said that it works great, did you replace the entire flap or pull the rubber gasket off of the new one and put it onto your current one?
Thanks,
Gery

you cant replace the rubber gasket....it wont stick. And I tried locktite 401, and it ruined the whole gasket instead of setting it in the right position....perhaps you can do it. But you need a microscope
Thanks! I've found a video on youtube showing how to remove the old one for putting the new one on!

If I'm not wrong the bottom is plastic instead of aluminium,while the side is aluminium.
If you change it you will lost waterproof.
There is only adhesive tape to hold the bottom bezel, no screws. So i thought to heat the adhesive a litle bit and replace it but im not sure if its even possible.

Not so sure,if the factory screen protector is scratched,they will replace,but not sure about the bottom plastic plate.
It is fine if it does not effect the phone and waterproof,mine also got scratch at top but I just leave it there,maybe you can use a case.
They do not replace parts if there is only cosmetic damage. But you can always try to open a ticket and send your device off to repair ..you might be lucky

Do you think its possible to replace only the bottom bezel or its connected with side bezels?
there were service manuals posted here, I think I saved them to mega...

Still waterproof, this small piece of plastics doesnt affect it.
My left flap has become loose to the point of not staying in for more than 5 minutes. Is there anyway I can replace this?
When mine does this I tend to find there's gunk/dust in the little groove in the rubber seal or inside the phone cavity underneath where the flap seal will sit, I just run my nail along it to dig all the crap out and it's fine again.

Same thing happened to me. I've ordered a new one for 10€ and changed it myself (see some videos on youtube explaining how to remove it properly).
The new one is ok. However, I don't recommend to open the flap too often, prefer wireless file transfer and charging from magnetic port.

Link? From where did you get it? I'd rather not send it in for warranty repair and potentially lose it for a few weeks.

Hey guys I'm having an issue with my charging flap. Every time I take my phone out of my pocket the charging flap hanging off. It's really becoming a major pain. I obviously wouldn't even dare putting it in water! Anyone have a solution or has anyone else had this issue?
Not very happy about this.

i have a simular issue, aparently its caused by dust.. or atleast in my case

Clean flap ring with alcohol and apply little powder. Problem solved.

ip58 z2 is
5/8 dust
8/9 water
dust yeah its stupid that chunks of dead skin stop a flap from closing, but then again its a sensitive thing, those flaps are sensitive and are easily affected by things

My xperia z2 flaps keep opening by themselves when I take the device out of my pocket does anyone else have the same issue or is it just me I can't understand why they become loose or open themselves I barely open the micro SD one so it couldn't have worn already is it just my z2?
Clean the port and flap
And press against the rubber on the flap
It should sort your issue

This does indeed fix the issue, I've had to do it myself many times. I think it's cause of dust/dirt getting trapped. Cotton buds/Q-tips do the trick brilliantly. I actually need to sort my flaps out as it has been happening for me recently.
