Today I just noticed that if I flick or knock the back microphone the phone will auto restart (probably the force acted on the internal hardware to strong?).This happened on the back microphone area only.Can anyone comfirm that this is normal?

Xperia X10 speaker is NOT powerful enough for XLoud therefore your speakers are most probably damaged now.

Sorry couldn't find info via google.
I've been having random reboots, but have discovered its when I put my phone down onto my desk or put it in my pocket. It seems to restart whenever it gets banged (even quite light taps)... Any idea what this could be and how to fix? Loose battery maybe?
Thanks in advance.
Yes sounds like a loose battery

Thanks yeah. Lol, a bit of a business card on top of the battery seems to have solved it.
Hi,
Yesterday my vibrator broke on my phone and this made me to open the phone for the second time. I took off the backglass and tried to fix it but had no succes. But since I really don't put my phone in water I decided to expiriment with stuff.
I always wanted make my xperia Z louder so I installed zero's puresound mod but it was still not loud enough, so I took off the sponge/rubber and the loudspeakers glass. I can't believe that this phone is so loud now atm. All I ever wanted from this phone just with one easy mod done.
If your warranty is void and don't care about the waterproofness you can also do this. Since I'm going to take my phone apart again I will take some pictures.
I'm not going to shower and take phonecalls anyway, before this I never had a waterproof phone so I can live with that.

Did you managed to put the back plate on without replacing the adhesive? Is it stiff?
Sent from my Xperia Z
Yes, I just heated up with a hairdryer until it melted and paste it back on. It's already my second time that I've done it.

About 30 to 60 seconds. I think that the glue lacks quality since it's easy to take it off. The glue used on the battery is made of better quality. Could be because the glue on the battery is thicker

Took off the right glass and pushed the sponge from the outside of the speaker hole and took it off from inside.

We can do it together.
Download sound meter from the market and then play one of the sony ringtones and tell me which one by name. I'll do the same and we'll both see by decibels how louder your speaker is compared to my stock one.

Well, after usual setup, playing around and other things you do when you received your toy I tried the famous watertest. Which I bought it for.
After checking the bits and pieces that need to be closed, I gently placed it in the filled sink while playing some iptv show and recorded it. Nice to show up when with friends and so. See? No problem!
hone resp
Recording went great but when I went back to the room the screen started to glitch and touchscreen stopped working. Phone went into reboot loop and freaked out. After removing SIM and SD card and pushing the red button the phone started. When it was ready booting, the touchscreen was still not working. After a few minutes, the screen started to flicker.
So for those who want to try. Please do, now it's still under warranty.
Thre's a youtube movie of this happening on the IFA too. Don't know the name of it.
This one will be returned.
I haven't tried yet and wasn't really planning on doing so, but your thread is tempting me... After all it is supposed to be a water proof phone, right?
For someone that has already dealt with Sony, how easy is it to deal with them for a warranty aim like this?

you will be able to buy a new flap/cover here in the near future - one of the reasons why the dock or magnetic cable is a must have
http://rounded.com/
to the OP - you might have trouble convincing Sony that you had all the flaps properly closed, they can do a vacuum test on the phone but you are putting you trust in them to be honest and truthful about their findings
here's an interesting water damage pack http://www.clove.co.uk/rescuetec-water-damage-repair-recovery-kit
I really hope so I sent them a email thanks I ordered one of the magnetic chargers

I think you shouldnt open flaps after having it in water. I understand that They Were closed under water, but when it was still wet, some water could have Got under flaps when you opened them and sony May say that They were not properly closed

Well, my previous phone was xperia Z and every time I went into the pool I took Z with me and stayed for at least 2 hours in the water and never had a single issue. As Z1 is even more waterproof, I had no problem whatsoever taking it with me.
I've tested my phone on a log flume and in a jug of water. No problems....

Some forum member wanted to know whether the flaps were (properly) closed. They were...I recorded it. And checked about a dozen times. It's a 600+ euro device...So Sony can claim what they want. A vacuum test will show the answer.
Nice thing happened when packed for returning it. It went on for no reason (without display ofcourse) and after an hour I felt heat through the box (the original box it comes in when buying it).... barely couldn't touch the device, had to reset the device (button near the SIM) and now it's on a fireproof place just in case awaiting arrival of the repair guy.
(pickup and return guy actually)
I took the plunge last night and submerged my phone to show it to friends. It still works fine....
Shame about the phone. I tried mine this morning while showering. Took some pictures and they turned out to be rather artsy (yes,they're SFW)!

Don't get me wrong, I still love the phone and of course this one somehow slipped through QA. It's not a rant against Sony or something. I just want to say that It is possible that the phone isn't waterproof in all cases. So be carefull when dropping it in the water. Just like the girl on the IFA youtube clip already showed us. She tried a working device at the Sony demo stand and was allowed to submerge it. Device broke. Whoops...
By the way does anyone played with the touch block feature? Whatever that is? It seems some sort of automatic touchscreen disable feature so that the water does not causes fake touch presses.
May be with this article, you prevent issues in the futur ?

Those flaps aren't really tough like the body. I suggest u should keep the phone away from Water.. If warranty exists, go to the service center and complain.. Next time, be careful with the flaps..
I've had my XZ since launch and it's fine - loose, but stays in when I close it. How have you been using the flap? Yanking it out with all your strength or something?
The only thing you really can do is get it replaced if it's under warranty.
I've always been carful with the flaps, but they are honestly the biggest physical design flaw of the XZ imho, and greatly improved in following models. The rubber seals roll and stretch just by closing and opening, and eventually will get caught and tare. I've replaced mine once already on the charge port. The port covers are a sloppy cheap design.
Also another reason I'm looking for an upgrade - mag charge cable so I don't have to keep opening the mini usb port.
Better flap design rather than higher IP Rating is way more important. In the case of XZ, it seems the flaps have been left out in terms of durability. I hope that's what newer premium models bring.

Had a similar problem try cleaning it with a cotton swab.
There's also an old thread discussing the same.
Don't use liquids otherwise you'll void your warranty.
That being said I "CAREFULLY " used a swab and isopropyl alcohol to clean mine.
It might just be a dust problem on sides.
