Grill on microphone? - Xperia Tablet Z General

Hi All,
Is there a grill or anything (that obviously prevents dust or water from coming in) in the microphone's hole?
I cleaned the microphone hole and seems to push too hard, now I see nothing there, but I assume there was...
Please take a look...

Of course, there was sth right there.

Front camara

Anyone know how to replace the front camara with out breaking the phone?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I beleive the front facing camera is solder to the motherboard. So that will require some soldering skills.

One of the things that's critical is getting it mounted properly. It needs to end up so it's firmly pressed against the back of the front glass, otherwise dust gets in there something awful. My first one has a badly aligned camera and after 2 months all you could see was dust. The camera was completely useless.
Bear in mind that the camera sits right behind the headphone port, which is basically a giant hole in the case saying "Dust, come in here!".
If the camera is borked though, and you bought it from T Mobile, they'll replace it.
Ok thanks

Rattling sound top of phone.

Hi.
I've got a weird thing with my phone (i9505). when i tap the screen at the top, or even next to the speaker, it sound like something is loose. Screen works just fine, touch also.
Does anyone else have this?
Could be manufacturing defect.
Should i return it and ask for a replacement?

I'm not sure if it's what you describe but I noticed that when tapped a bit "harder" or put to the table with a little force, there is a slight vibration which feels like something is mounted on "rubber"...not sure how to describe...it's more like a part has a buffer which prevents it from being damaged. It really might be the camera lens or some other part swinging and I don't think something is broken.
My S3 also hadn't that kind of feedback when tapped. However it doesn't make any noise so I'm not sure if it's what you mean...but also it might be that same part just being broken in your phone if it's rattling.
Probably just the vibration motor. If you hold the back to your ear and tap the front, it sounds hollow (or like a drum).

Try tapping the same area on a display s4 and see if you hear the same thing. A real display too not a dumby phone.
My htc Dna did this and it was the lens. Verizon brought out a brand new dna and it did the same thing.... Lol good luck

Virtually every device forum on here as the same thread.
Its part of the camera lens that moves internally is the answer on every thread.
Noticed the lens rattle too. Sounds unnormal, but I went to the Shop and the Galaxy S4 there had the same "issue" while tapping on the upper Display Area.

I just went to the ATT store for the same reason. There is a plastic cover over the camera lens. Peel it off, the noise goes away..
There is no issues never has been, never will be. Its the autofocus in the camera.
That's why I set issue in quotes It's a constant sound while using the S4 and tapping the top of phone. On my S4 sadly loud, but according to the store no reason for a warranty exchange.

Earpiece scratches

Hey, i've noticed that the earpiece on my s4 scratches way easier than on my s3. It's due to the fact that it is slightly more raised off the front glass than on the s3. Is anyone else noticing small scratches on the earpiece?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Same here,
The chrome like ring around the earpiece easily scratches off
Enviado desde un Samsung Galaxia S Cuatro LTE
Tried to scratch mine with no help, still intact :good:
Don't try. It should scratch easily with reuglar use..lol im also seeing it scratched in alot of review videos if you look closely...in my opinion the earpiece on both the s3 and s2 were less sratchable...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I already tried, even with scissors :silly:
NO scratches whatsoever, maybe I was luck and got good set of earpiece :good:

Yep I got a scratch already on the metal cover for the ear piece. I also notice that the second and third little hole (from left to right) seems to be clogged or a metal part just underneath - oh an the last one too. I even attempted to unclogged one of those holes with a very sharp pin and that's when I notice they are not clogged. Those holes look just look clogged but it's just components under the grill.
I got massive scratches on the first 3-4 days of use on the camera metal ring. It should be made from the same material on the sides.
Same here also got scratches on the camera grill!

[Q] Function of the hole on the back cover, top right?

Hi everybody, does anybody know what's that small hole for?
It's placed in the back cover of the Defy, top right
Just curious
Bye
It's the 2nd microphone that is canceling the ambient noise in call.

Dropped my GD phone. Four days old.

I was walking down the street. Get a notification. Go to pull it out of my pocket. Snags my coat and slides right to the sidewalk. Only dropped two feet at most cuz I kinda fumbled it with my other hand. Quite irritating as there is no way to fix it but to find a new chassis or buy a new device. I'm usually so careful. Never dropped a phone before. Seriously ever. I'm super ocd about the condition of my devices. I dunno if I can handle looking at the little dings for as long as it takes to afford a new device/parts. Might post pictures later if anyone cares to see the results of a standard pocket to concrete drop. Luckily no cracks or scratches in the glass. Tiny dings and tiny tiny scratches on the back.

Any scratch on Front + Back screen? (With Protector/ case)? Picture would be great and thanks for sharing.
I did not have a case on it at the time. There was a small ding on the front glass but removing the OEM film cleared that up. The rear has a few tiny dings and itty nitty scratches. The aluminum frame has a couple dings. Nothing that most people would crap about but most of us here at xda are kinda nutty about clean devices. I'll post photos as soon as my wife comes home.

Sorry to hear that. But lucky the screen doesn't crack/ shutter. Thanks and looking forward to see the details.

i could see it happening easily enough myself. this is the first phone iv had with a shiny back on it. my last phone was a cheap samsung so the plastic makes it easier to grip. it would be even worse with cold hands id say. ill probably try and get some skin for the back of it when they are out, something with a bit of texture on it would be better. and it would cover the logo too!
what does the screen feel like with out the screen protector on it? its just regular glass? and did the logo come off?
The logo did come off. Its kinda cool. The glass underneath feels harder and less slick I guess. It's hard to explain but the glass underneath doesn't grab fingerprints and oil and dust as much as the film did. Also when there are finger prints and smudges you can't see them as much when the display is on. I took the film off my xperia ion as well.

I tried taking pictures with a moto electrify and an HTC one. Neither can pull a good enough macro shot to see the damage.

I've dropped my Xperia Ray couple of hundred times,I think this one will suffer the same destiny Thats why I'm kind of relieved bout the fact that rear of z1c is just plastic,bought a case ofcourse immediately after purchase of this gem of phone. Couldn't be happier.
