Sony M4 Aqua, rubber seal (cover) problems - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hello Everyone!
I bought that phone at Jun 10. I got a shoddy m4 aqua (It was always frozen under lockscreen, and it's submerged)... The company changed it to a new for me, it was at jun 15., but I've again a problem with this phone. When the phone begin to warm up the rubber seal at nano sim begins to open... That's why I can't use this phone under the water, and sometimes the flash(light) isn't work properly... Example: I've always to charging the phone at every night and that rubber seal always opening in that time... I don't know what's the problem, because I've never opened it before I got this phone, I noticed it a few days ago... I feel the m4 aqua is a series flawed, I guess... May I ask a new phone again? Because I can't wait for 3 weeks to I get it from the service... I think I'll ask a another SONY XPERIA, because the m4 aqua all are sh*t... Why is it open? Is this a shaddy m4 aqua again?

Hi, I understand what you mean,
although M4 aqua seems great in the first place, i also found out that it has lots of flaw during daily use.

Touchscreen no more working after de-assemblage and re-assemblage

Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s
http://youtu.be/iyT618lVxUs
My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

Check under all the flaps. I do believe that there may be a couple on the board itself.
You want me to put the hammer down?

P9000 unreliable rubbish - Worst phone I've had ?

I bought this phone based on my Father in Law's
P5000 and thought after much research that they would only have improved the series... Specwise the P9000 should be great... The Sony 13 Megapixel camera should be awesome.. It gsm surprised me a few times in perfect conditions but anything indoors where you want to capture the moment my advice would be to use anther camera, another phone or do a quick sketch with your eyes closed....
The fact that the phone can't keep a SIM card or Sdcard in place is a major problem and means that you cannot rely I the phone if you want it as a means of communication. I have tried the tape solution, taking the SIM to the tray and the tray to the phone, without much success. BTW I have found a permanent workaround to the annoying "do you want to change the default write disk" error message that came up everyone I turned the phone on (you take the Sdcard out of the phone and put it in a drawer, then use the phone without the Sdcard - no more error message).
And now my home button is not working so I am forced to use the nav bar
Currently asking for an RMA for about the 4th time.
I cannot advise people more to avoid this phone and this company
You just broke your phone lol. Mine works fine.

ok, also what rom are you using? im thinking about at least staying with stock rom for a week to see how it goes, ill change to RR or CM12.1 if i feel necessary, im also problably going to port a few stock roms from certain devices with same chipset just to see if its easy to port like on my other phone that had the MT6753 CPU..
im using CM13 its pretty sick
I have had the phone over 6 months - was getting the sdcard issue frequently in beginning but since updated to CM13 its very rare. Fantastic cheapo phone.
A great phone IMO. The ONLY time I got the sim card message was before I moved it to the second (dedicated) sim card slot and not the dual slot (dual for either sdcard or sim). No problems at all, all on original as it came to me with OTA updates only.
From your current signature, you have messed with your ZTE Kis also.......................

New E5823, running 5.1.1, no updates

Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program. Except​ when I tried to do so, I got the error "UEGetPhoneInfoFailure" when I had to hold volume down and plug it I to the PC. I got the phone from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/142324022634

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Do i have to download the same CDA or can i just download 1298-7260 (customized Australia)?

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
Neither of the two links work for me.
