Hi . i bought an Xperia Z2 2 weeks ago . i've been sinking and washing this phone in the bathroom with no problem .
But , today i went to a mountain river with about 19 celsius of its fresh water temperature . I submerged the phone and took a few photos with it . Unfortunately , after 2 minutes . the phone just went off just like a dead phone .
Quickly , i go to my bag and wipe the phone from wetness . After a few hours , i try to turn it on
i noticed there is NO WATER in the camera lens . Also i press the power button , but there is no response .
How is this SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN to a water-PROOF phone ? Does Anyone has a solution for this ? Please help . :/
P;s : Actually , back 2 months ago , i bring my Sony Xperia Tablet Z to this river . Taking photos and videos with no problem . But this problem has made me unconfident with the Xperia Z2 ... is the Tablet Z more tougher taking life throws at it more than Xperia Z2 ?
P:S2 :- Before i took photos at the river , i type *#7378423*#*#at the keypad > service test > pressure sensor ' to make sure the flaps were firmly closed . The test passed and i really sure that the phone is sealed . It makes me thought , does the cold temperature makes the phone shuts down ?
Thanks for reading my thread
Fresh water makes things easier and more likely that your phone will be fine, wrap in towel and leave on radiator turned off for a few days, or in a bowl of rice, or in the sun, whatever your preferred method is to dry it out. I've rescued countless phones that have been dropped in the drink doing this. The faster you do it the better though
EDIT: Oh and as to how it happened, a) flaps weren't closed or don't seal properly (clean out the ridges, dirt can stop it sealing properly) b) there's a defect in a seal somewhere else, front/back glass etc...
sorry for hear that were the flaps closed properly? because i also have submerged my z2 in freezing like water and no probs, and also how long did you submerge it for? did you try soft resetting the phone? (do it only if no option or remedies dont work), open the simcard/usb flap and you will see a small red switch, press and hold for like 10-15seconds and it will reset the phone
Thanks for replying guys @gihan798114 and MR.Rtm .. Yes the flap was closed properly . There were no signs of water gone inside (the camera lens was OK , no condensation ) but right now im dipping my phone into a basket of rice to make sure the water didn't got inside . i also tried to connect to a charger . Weird results i got though , when the device connected to a magnetic charger , the notification doesn't light up but when im connecting it to USB cable , the notification led light up to red , like the battery was 0% .. weirdest problem i faced with Xperia Z series .. lol
yes keep it in rice for a few days and try charging and see if the led color changes

If they work like Apple (and I doubt this) then Apple wants 210 € for a flat rate replacement -- nobody actually repairs water damage as it's very hard to guarantee ALL damage was seen and fixed...
Ideally you should have removed the battery immediately (because everyone with an allegedly waterproof phone always has the appropriate screwdrivers on hand), washed it with pure water and dried in rice for at least 4 days, it's probably too late now but you might want to try this sequence anyway, it can't end up worse
Hi guys,
I took my Go out for a swim and after my swim, the screen started to flicker and eventually the screen died(yes, all the flaps were closed, I double checked). Now this was last month, and I did the whole rice bag thing, and still no improvement :3 But occasionally the screen comes back to life when I tap on it and then dies again.. And last week, I just happened to switch on the phone and it started working like nothing ever happened! And yesterday it stopped working again I took it to the Sony store and they say that it might take about 400RM(120USD) to fix it.. Is there anything that I can do to fix this??
Try to have it tested for water resistance, if a machine test shows leaks even after cleaning the caps it's not your fault (at least if $ony follows their service manuals to the letter)
You can open the screws up in the back and manually troubleshoot what is up with it. Check it for any water or moisture on the inside or any damage from it. Good luck

Did you switch it off the instant it got wet. Using the internally wet phone could damage the main board which could be causing the problems.
Or the screen could have been screwed up...

I did switch it off after the screen started flickering :/.. I opened her up today and theres a a little of rust on one of the connectors that lead from the screen to the board..
Well there you go. Youre gonna have to get new parts or fix the old ones.
Try removing the rust from the connector, then fully drying the insides and see if the screen turns on if you moove the connector around. Also check ebay for the price of a new screen. It might be cheaper then you think.

After water damage my xperia z3 having the same problem! Screen flickering, brightness is very low I can barely see anything in daylight! Otherwise everything working fine! Any idea what might causing the problem? Is it the screen or the motherboard is damaged?
Hello. There is a problem with my phone - I got a couple of water inside. It seems that protetion cap leaks, and I didnt find out this in time. I have smoked rear camera and damaged screen (it got kind of watermark on the background). Everything else works. It happened more than 24 hours ago, idk, I used hairdryer, I left it in rice for 6 hours, I also I left it with opened caps and removed SD and SIM. Camera still gets smoked at the street, but, when I am at home, it's okay. Screen doesn't get fixed at all. Who can advice something in this situation? I need to stay with Z2 a bit more, I thought that I could wait until Sony get RAW and OIS in the phones, but Z2 started to break earlier.
P.S I dont want to replace screen, because I want to get replacement in general (I dont like Z2's camera).
Last time I encountered this with my old Xperia Z, I opened all the flaps and left it under a hair dryer and a small vacuum cleaner over night and the problem is fixed.
Backstory: It's been 2 years when I had water damaged my phone. The whole device was completely filled with water. The
phone went dead. I shook most of the water off via micro usb and sim card slot. That's when I realised both of my camera
lens were fogged inside, I tried to open up the glass back of the phone (to remove the battery and dry them up).
Unfortunately, the glass back was shattered but still mostly in place as it was glued tightly. I have no choice but to ditch
my phone and kept it in my desk. After years of ignorance, I finally went back to check out to find out that the lens are dry
(all of the water might as well have been evaporated. I charged it. Surprisingly, the notification light lit in red. After charging
it for 2 hours, I decided to power on the phone.
Issue : The display seemed dead, but I managed to take a few screenshots using -vol + power button. Just by listening to the sound of the
screenshots I took, I don't know if my phone is considered to be fully functioning (minus the LCD screen).
Can someone please tell me if my phone is still working fine as it can emit sound because I'm considering replacing the LCD screen
Put your phone in a rice tub with all the flaps opened and let it wait there for 1-2 days, the water should be gone completely.
