I don't know if this is a problem really but when I use my Z1 in water (testing if waterproof) the speaker works with really bad sound but after a little while it adjusts itself back to normal. Do you guys have this happening to you too?

Good, thought it was just something happening to mine but now I know it's normal, thanks.
Well it's waterproof, but this doesn't mean that your phones changes Gravity and pushes away the water from it.
Water has to vaporize or fall off so it won't work perfectly just after taking the phone out of water.

Yeah, I just thought that the water couldn't pass the exterior of the phone but I was wrong.
In the manual says that after put into water you have to wait 3 hours until water vaporize completely, so its very normal....

If the microphone and speakers were completely sealed, they would be useless. That's just physics, you lose most of the sound when you go from air to a solid layer, and then to air again. The waves need to stay on the same medium to have good propagation, so, you can't have a physical layer between you and the speaker. In other words, a waterproof phone speaker is very, very hard to do, and impossible to do on a thin shell. You shouldn't use the speaker and microphone for a few hours after submerging the phone, they won't perform very well.

The speaker probably has a water resistent membrane. The microphone jack is probably gold coated.
yeah happened with mine too.. I was worry but everything back to normal after that
Thanks everybody for your answers, I appreciate it.

Itz also happens in my z2 but nothng wrng it recovers withn 30min....
It is indeed a membrane over the speakers and mic. It keeps that water out but I believe it is acoustically transparent when dry. The headphone jack has a seal that gets pushed down to when headphones are inserted. So never insert headphones whilst still wet.

hello everyone
Today I noticed my x10 creaks when using the bottom three buttons and sometimes the touchscreen. I bought the phone brand new from carrier 2 days ago, does anyone else experience this? its nothing TOO serious, just quite annoying for someone with OCD like myself. What should I do?

My buttons don't make any noise. If you even hear the noise when pressing on the screen, maybe the back cover isn't fitted correctly?

Thats what I mean, its' not the buttons that make noise, but the back cover I believe.. when pressure is applied. I checked to make sure it is fitted correctly and it is. Also I believe there is a slight creaking on the front panel as well. Is this normal?
Yup, mine makes a noise too, but its not noticeable unless you're listening for it

No that's not normal. If it's only the back cover, maybe it's bend because you applied too much pressure when pulling it off. But if the front also creaks then there's something wrong. mine doesn't make creaking noises at all.

I kno what you mean, but I had iphone before and the thing was as solid as a rock. With the X10, I apply pressure I can feel some 'give' as if i am pressing the panels together, which creates the slight creaking noise. I dont even know if I could describe it as creaking, its very minor but still noticeable
When I had the black x10a it creak for me when I pressed the back button. After a few days I bought the x10I to have 3g on tmobile and it doesn't creak. Maybe its the x10a only?

Hey, yeh mine creaks too, its more so the side pressure of the hand squeezing the sides when in yur palm, than the force down of the buttons. Im not very satisfied with the elcheapo effect of the back cover, lol. I too was an iphone user, solid rock, but i love my x10a!
Thanks to everyone, I guess it's semi-normal, I wish it wouldnt make any noises because it makes it feel cheap
Creeking here aswell and it is actually the battery making the noice since its probably has got a tiny bit deformed in 8 months of pocket riding it is able to move somewhat in it's compartment. Everything else is solid.
And i have to really stress it to make it creek, nothing really bothering.

^Thats a good point. Last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't remember where I put my x10 down. I stood up and realized I was sitting on it. Not a big deal considering its a pretty cushy couch but I probably squished the battery together a bit.
I think only white ones make noise my black x10i is very solid

I know 4 people who also have the xperia x10, never heard them complaining about creaking. Never heard it either. We all have the black x10i.
Somebody here said something about a deformed battery, that could be true indeed. Lithium polymer battery's have no plastic case, they can be bend or deformed. It could be the reason your x10 makes creaking noises.
You could buy another back cover from ebay, they're not expensive.
As we all know the S5 is IP67 rated meaning it should withstand up to 1m of water depth for 30min, I have tried simple splash tests so far, and dropping it bucket of water ect... so far no issues
My question is: is it really safe for it to go swimming ect? what should be avoided? and finally is there a case that will allow it to survive underwater to take pictures ect...
...
There are a number of footages made with S4 active undetwater. The standard is the same..so will be no problem IF the usb port is closed and the back cover is OK. I don't know. How the screen will react underwater, maybe all the camera settings must be done before going underwater.

Samsung really need to make an actual shutter button on the sight for the waterproof model since the screen is not working underwater because of the cold temperature.

yes. you are right. I have the sony xperia z and have taken underwater pictures/videos in a pool with no negative results(besides sound being muffled until the speaker dries out)
Well until we get a new type of touchscreen technology, we will never be able to use our smart phones under water.
Current touchscreens detect your finger by electrical current. While under water, since water is a great conductor, the touchscreen goes haywire and starts registering random touches.

Here's some things you need to think about, the S5 screen has an oleophobic coating and some liquids can damage/remove that coating.
Swimming pools, salt water = bad!

The phone doesn't detect being submerged, it just can't register touches because the water interferes with the capacitive touch screen.
underwater when pressed power or home button the fingerprint sensor start to detect your finger and after 5-6 seconds they prompt you to type your password.

Im fairly sure that swimming pools would be fine. Salt Water on the othet hand can be highly corrosive so its advisable to avoid it.

Browsing other Xperia Z2 forum, a user asked about the water resistance and input headset, since it has no external insulation, as covers. One reviewer said the author of the following topic:
"Check if you don't see a screen light in the hole, there were some not sealed examples problems.. it should be dark when the phone is unlocked. Would help to make sure it is sealed."
This actually makes sense?
I tested mine and when I turn on the device screen I can see light through the hole of the headset!
Has anyone tested to see if it makes sense?
I haven't heard about this, but for the screen gap issue Sony said you could take your phone to a repair center for a water resistance test, I'm sure they would do this for you if you are worried about it.
I see the light of the screen through the jack and I plunged my phone several times in the water, no problem.

This sounds strange but put the hole to your mouth and such on it like a straw then plug it with your tongue. If the suction stays then your good and waterproof.

Thanks to Handtec my z3c arrived in Munich just in time for the second weekend of the Oktoberfest. I couldn't resist to test waterproofness right on Saturday .... Just wanted to share. [emoji41]
Btw. I experienced the volume of the phone speaker during calls quite low. Hard to understand outside in the street even with volume at max. Did you have same issues?
Thanks.
Probably because the speakers/microphone were still wet.
Sony says this about it on their website:
If either the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be affected until all the water has completely dried.

Beer has a ton of sugar which will dry and fill in your speaker grill, you need to wash your phone with water (don't run it under the sink, pressure could be too high), put it in a bowl of warm water, dunk it in and out a few times, shake it off and check the volume.

You need to rinse it off, if you hadn't before. Beer will form a crust, and is sticky. Use distilled water.
Thanks. Figured it out myself... Although I had the device tapped into clear water before and after the test. I used a drop water several times.
Seems to be OK now.
The looks of my friends where phenomenal - worth it!
Speaker Volume after Beer and Rinse -lol
Now that phone is clean , can you easily hear speaker calls outside in medium noise environment?
When playing Music through Speakers, do you notice a lot of vibration in the Body of the phone and lack of bass.
If so ask SONY to check for speakers being "out of phase".
Is this phone louder than all the Samsung Galaxy and Note phones ?
It should be ....
Thanks.

Depends on the faucet, people don't realize that a jet/stream of water can be of a significantly higher level of pressure then submersing the phone in a meter of water. The z1c is rated to withstand a low pressure water stream, most sink faucets will exceed this rating when fully open.

Out of curiosity, what was your solution? No pun intended.
I haven't dunked my phone in beer (yet), but I'm finding the speakerphone volume to be incredibly lower during calls and I haven't done anything (too weird) to it. Is there some kind of setting you found, or did you dunk it into some coffee? What kind of coffee?
Well I repeated the beer challenge the past weekend. It is definitely that you loose sound while it's still wet and due to sugar afterwards. However, you can clean it up easily. Just put a drop of water into the speakers, wait a few minutes and suck it out with a piece of toilet paper. Works fine.
However I am still not completely happy with the volume/sound of both speakers. Because of a lack of comparison and time I did nothing so far. Maybe I'll write Sony after some more testing.
I have an iP 5 from work. However the sound is definitely better and louder during calls. Anybody else compared these two?
Thanks

I can not tell how high pressure can be but the water coming from the sink is ok. Takes more time tho.
It would be best to use a hand shower and one of the streams but I am afraid that the water will leak into the device .
If someone is brave enough or have a test model in home he might test it :good:
