After briefly holding my xperia z3 under running water, my camera now only shows a white screen. I was only going to clean my screen, and made sure all the ports were properly closed. 1st there was fog in my lens, but that's gone now.
Q: will the white screen of the camera become usable after some time too?

I too had a same problem with my Z1, it was similar like you, at the end the result was a hardware problem I changed my camera.
The lens got damaged.
Today for some reason i tried my camera again & its magically working again. Guess the moisture must have dried up now ???

A few months ago i washed my vibrant. dried it out etc. Got it working fine except that the camera was forcing closed all of the time and also caused it to overheat. so long story short i took the camera out and it worked fine except for the camera obviously. i ordered new oem vibrant cameras online and went to put one of them in now i have a weird problem the camera works but the power button doesnt. i was messing around with it and found if the camera board is mounted upside down the power button works and camera doesnt but this obviously wont work seeing that the camera cant mount in that position and still be able to put the phone back together . i know this is really strange and i probably will not find anyone on earth that is having this problem but just thought id throw it out there and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Couple of things, If you have a oem camera and you make it upside down the power button works then there is something that is shorting between there, try using some saran wrap as an insulator and try that to see if that solves the problem. Also, use a magnifying glass and look very carefully. I would guess you will find some of the insulating protective coating (conformal coating) has a scratch leaving something exposed.
Hope that helps
I will try thanks for ur response I needed help beyond my knowing I appreciate it will try later and post back

Hey everyone, last week fell in a river and when I got out of the river, and dried my phone out, it had black spots on the camera, but further investigation led me to believe that the lens was not the problem because I cleaned it out with alcohol. nothing would make the spots go away. I was wondering if it was a problem with the phone but that was wrong because I tried the front facing camera and it works fine. I really don't know what to do please help me! The warranty is no longer valid because I unlocked bootloader.
You can try searching for ways to clean the camera. I have heard different mods to clean it. But it takes some searching and looking. There was one for example for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. That is one you could use for reference.

So my Prime's back 8mp camera is messed up. When I use my back camera, all I see is green lines running all across the screen. my front facing camera works fine. When I take a picture using back camera, green lines everywhere, can't see anything, the flash turns on, I can hear the auto focus working, but then it force closes. I believe that it is the cable connecting to the camera is out of place. I tried doing the pinching my tablet on the camera, and it worked, but when I let go, my camera glitches out. But now it doesn't work anymore when I try to pinch the camera.
I'm thinking about opening my tablet and try to reconnect the cable together. Has any1 ever fixed their camera problem? If so, how easy was it to do so.
Thanks!

Had the same problem a while back. Was still under warranty so I sent it in for repair. All I know is that it's a pretty common problem and that it definitely is a hardware issue.

Oh well my tablet I got a year ago on May 1st, so my warranty is expired. Also I unlocked the bootloader so i voided warranty anyways.
Happened to my back camera few days ago. Is there any known fix, outside warranty (bought my device two years ago, so it's not an option)?
I've never had this issue so I'm bot the best to advice. But It should be fixable, you just have to open your prime and do a little mod with the pogo pins, I'm pretty sure there was a thread with instructions for the fix.

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?
What should I do? The ghost touch is
Preventing me from using the screen properly
Try to clean it or wash it.

I remember that that I got this problem sometimes on xperia z and normally a reboot helped.

Ensure glove touch is disabled.
Even I am having this issue... Seems like Glove mode automatically turns on by itself even though it has been disabled.
So far no solution.
Yea it's like the keyboard swipes it self. Same for the screen. Even factory reset, but it happens again once in awhile.
Hello everyone. I bought via ebay display for Sony Xperia z2 but when I connected it turned out to not work properly. He started his own to run applications, as well as to work on it with 30 fingers. I guess that's called Ghost effect. What can be the problem? In short operating normally, and then go crazy.
I'm not completely reassembled the phone after changing the display because waiting waterproof tape for display.
. Does it have something to do with my problem?

I took it in to Sony and they repaired it for me. They told me that there was water underneath so they replaced the damaged parts for me. But the ghost touch issues still happens once in a while...
