Sony SAT (STELLA, Madrid) refused to aply warranty in my cracked arc. They say the crack is because I have hit the phone (red circle mark) when this is not true. I search other xperia arc photos on internet and I can see the same mark and the same crack. Why that bad treatment sony?
My phone is the misty silver. You can see the same mark as mine in a blue one I found on internet:
I forget to say they made me pay the shippment costs. The phone is under warranty and this is not what the law say about a product in warranty period. Very bad!
i dont have warnty but my phone looks so bad i willl shere some pics, im was at some unoffical service to change mask and they tell me :" i wont change your mask coz i can brocke display when changing it "

Ask them to maka a little research on the internet. Most if these guys are scumbags.
You got 2 years warranty (if you read the warranry manuals). Dont be gentle against them.
I got that crack over the light sensor too. After a year, now its cracked.
Do you use a case on your arc?

Complain to Sony Europe directly as this is an unacceptable way to treat a customer.
Sony UK replaced the cracked housing on my arc S after 11 months with no questions asked - I just needed to provide proof of purchase. The phone was only gone for a week.

From what I know, the warranty covers only the crack above proximity sensor, which might have happened during the production.
Yours is not above the proximity sensor, most likely caused by yourself.

Hey people,
Last night I accidentally dropped my DHD and unfortunately it landed on the camera. The camera glass is now broken and the grommet is dented also.
Does anyone know if there are replacements for this part yet? I'm in Australia so an online parts shop would be perfect...
Thanks for the help!
After further investigation it seems to be attached to the entire back plate.

Make a claim on your phone insurance.
You do have phone insurance, dont you? I'm sure no one on XDA forums are foolish enough to invest in a £500 device and not have the safety net of insurance for when we inevitably drop it and smash it into smithereens.

Can you quote the part of the HTC warranty conditions where it says that they will happily replace components that got destroyed by "improper handling, such as dropping the phone on the floor very hard"?
I'd be really thrilled to read it.
Only thing I agree with is contacting HTC is the best bet at the moment, i am sure they will offer a repair for that damage, although they will charge quite a bit for it
http://www.htc.com/www/support/warranty.html
Click where your are i clicked wester Europe and Page 3 please read
HTC does not cover this sort of damage.
The warranty only covers manufacturing faults.
Check home insurance, it probably covers accidental damage to items in the home and may cover the phone if one item limit is high enough.
Oh unlucky m8 guess you will have to cough up cash to repair the phone
The chances are the camera still works, and it is just the lens cover that you have broken.
Look for a dummy camera, such as
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-HTC...976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item255f090e60
Look on Android forum that shows how to replace.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...cover-replacement-straightening-red-ring.html
Hope this helps.
Yeah, was just unlucky I guess.
Lucky enough where the crack is on the camera lens it doesn't actually show on photos.
Will contact HTC to see.
Cheers for the help!
Hello everyone,
For a long time ARC users suffered from housing cracks on their gadgets. On the Arc S users side, there was always a big speculation about new metarial usage on Arc S but it was not declared&confirmed by the SE company or any other person. Also there were some rumors and photos of cracked Arc S housing on web but non of them have sufficient proof about was it Arc or Arc S ?
I was beliving the same solace, it was new material until my neighbours Arc S cracked yesterday.
Here are the photos and video(720p) of Cracked housing. (Video is recorded by my Arc S but rendering in youtube was a little bit problematic so don't mind the glitches)

did you do something in your arc?like accidentally put apressure on some points? or have you drop it?
And I have an Arc S, witch cracked in 3 places!!! I am very disappointed! It happens instead of that the phone was not falling, used with care, no single scratch on it! I like to snowboarding...but this phone never was on a mountain -always stayed home! I can't even imagine how could it happen except SE failed with plastic quality! Before that I had Midnight Blue Arc, I sold it to my friend. So couple days ago I was looking on his phone and it had the same cracks. So how about collective message to SE? I would like a free replacement. I could do it myself, but because of glued digitizer it is a bit difficult job... What do you think of that?
I have my arc since late May, luckily it has no crack near the proximity sensor. Putting it in my pocket everytime I go out. I read somewhere that the cracks are prevalent to midnight blue arc. I have the silver one.
Now it holds me back to change it to white as the post above shows cracks of white arc s.

Man, do not look at those cracks...it is so beautifull in white!!!! If you do not know that they are there you can't see em))))) I think it is not the reason to hold yourself...matter a fact it is a bad luck for mee...maybee you will be more lucky))))
Guys,
There hadn't been any accident like falling or hitting to an edge.
Also there is another crack on the housing at the right side of phone, between screen and metal case but i didn't put it's photos here because owner of the phone believes that reason of this side crack is putting his mobile to jean pocket.
But crack on near the sensor is not because of user error.
Thank to my GOD that my white Arc S is perfect without any cracks and hope it won't...
i have the silver LT15i, over 7 months now and no crack at all !!
My Arc has it just above the light sensor.

I would like to replace my housing for free...but I got no warranty because of I brought my phone in a Great Britain, and now it is in Ukraine. But I can live with that...I would replace my phone with SGS2 - white of course but! It looks iPhonish, it is Samsung... Maybee Xperia P will save me, but I do not know!

If I'm not wrong, Sony Ericsson have 1 year global warranty in all products even you bought it at foreign country. So try your chance...
Indeed, SE have it. But this is a country of idiots - if your phone is not in data base as importet ''Legaly'', wich is provided by costoms or radio frequncies control centr they wont service it for warranty, only for money. It is because of certified phone cost at minimum 100 dollars more instead of THE SAME ONE not in base... Stupidest system I have ever see...

Actually, Turkey is not too different than Ukraine.. For ex: Arc S is 300Euro in Germany but here it's 545Euro I've bought my phone in Germany and registered it in Turkey with my passport.
I couldn't check for global warrant in Turkey but for European countries it has 1 year globally.
By the way, i was in Kiev 6 months ago and phone prices are lower then us

Will never work, as the crack doesn't harm functionality.
And btw, Arc and Arc S are so cheap now, that it wouldn't be good for making money either
But the bad product quality and last years hardware (even in new devices of SE) made me want to change brands.
Looking forward to Samsung Galaxy S III's release

Hi everyone I just had my phone replaced under manufacturing fault. The frame had started cracking about a month ago, it got so bad there where about 15 cracks along volume side and 2-3 around all other edges.
I was told it is a recognized problem!!!!
The build quality of the new one is alot better the gap around the screen is a lot smaller, and there is a nicer feel to all the buttons.
Maybe they have revised the internals because I believe when the phone gets hot the insides expand and cause the cracking along the weld lines of the PC frame

potential heat fractures? haven't been keeping your phones in variable temperatures have you?
I didnt do anything abnormal, which made this crack, I used to play games for an hour everyday, may be playing games would have dissasipated more heat. which lead to crack near the port, some times i have even noticed my charger ports gets heated whiel charging even that could lead to this crack.

So you definitely should go via warranty to replace the glass. Sony will decide if repair or replace with the new one device. They never say what will be done.

As far as your question is concerned, i think you don't have a choice between repair or replacement. You don't get to make that call.
If sony can repair it they will do so. if they cannot only then will you get a replacement.
Way it works currrently is your phone will be couriered to sweden and back as they do not as yet service the Z line in India. i was told the turnaround time is 1 week.
Am very interested to know how well this so called ADP works. So do update us about your experience.

Sorry to say this, but have to agree here. The problem is the seller, since your device isn't under warranty.
I kinda feel Sony Middle East just like to screw us over. I brought the Z2 and I didnt get anything extra with the device. I didnt get the NC headphones or the dock or the cover, literally nothing. I literally feel that sony middle east is screwing us over.
I believe u should just go to the dealer who u brought the device from. If u have the warranty card u can just scan it and send it to Sony. Probably calling them would yield better results

Please, you are buying a phone not because it comes with stupid obligatory 'gifts' that you cannot refuse.
So many companies are doing this now because psychologically it works and you proved it. I always say how much gifts are worth. they say x, so i say give me without gifts and deduct x. But you know what they only reduce by 20%x or they refuse. So value of 'gifts' is a lie.
This was with Z1, with Z2 they put the gifts inside the box (!)
You are lucky.
I have W17 batch one also, and thinking about it, the only things I can actually say is that I experience the call quality thing (which I think can be fixed by a software) and also the gaps issue which has not really been big of a deal till now (Never dipped my phone in water however).
Camera is fine, back cover good, Flaps are great here... Sorry u go t unlucky mate... I'm actually in the same situation as u. Imported phone from regular "unprofessional retailer", no warranty. Till now, Z2 didn't launch in my country. So, yh!

i will let you know if the call quality issue is software related or not .. as mine is going back to the retailer for a "repair " i would imagine they will probably just pop a new mic in it , as im running .402 which at this moment in the UK is the latest software. i have also had a display issue with the screen jumping to different screens on its own,but its only done this the once.

So i didnt wanted to start a new thread. So ill post here . I also bought My new Xperia Z2 from Saudi Arabia. It was w20 model had screen gaps issue both on front and back . Bought it from Sony store and they said that it will not effect waterproofness of the device. Even then i was careful but after a month it was full of finger prints and i decided to wash it and unfortunately water went inside . All flaps were closed and i double checked it . When i took it to service center they said no warranty if water went inside and they will send it to Dubai please check back after 2 weeks.
I posted on Facebook as they may help me but this was their reply was we are sorry and nothing else
On twitter they are not even replying. and they just say contact service center and all i hear from them is excuses. there is not a single scrtach on my device. Unfortunately there is no refund or replacement system here. Really disappointed with Sony services. I saved money for 6 months for this device
does any one bought the z2 from sony in dubai ?!
my uncle bought me and I will get it by next week .
so I want to know the problems with this version of the device ( sony dubai ) .
sony stuff told my uncle to close the camera before putting the device in the water !! weird :/
it should be water resistant and we can take photos under water !!
