Received my M8 today and the quality control on this thing is terrible!
There are scratches and marks all over the body. The volume buttons are also really loose - they feel like they could fall of at any point.
Anybody else had issues?
Nope, mine was perfect. Although, going on the condition all my Samsung phones have come at their best, your's is probably better than a pristine S5.
All joking aside, i'd send it back and get a replacement.

Add to list...top speaker crackling, gap between display and frame, display shows ripple effect when pressed, bright spots on the max brightness at the bottom of the display...all hardware based on bad manufacturing...
I am pretty happy with mine, considering it's the D6616 T-mobile version and flashing anything besides stock is not doable at the moment it still satisfies me.
I had an xperia z ultra and besides the poor quality camera, I loved the phone. After selling it, I went back to my note 3 then the g3, sold my note and gave the wife the g3 when T-mobile put the Z3 on sale for 500. Sure it's not perfect but what is? I have no display issues, glass and frame line up and tested the waterproof ability of the phone prior to getting it wet, did that because I understand that errors in manufacturing can and do happen.
If you have issues with the phone, contact your provider or Sony, it has a warranty because they also know errors in manufacturing occur. I always go back to T-mobile when I have issues, they have always handled it for me.
As an example, when I decided to get this phone, did some research on it and found the screen is subject to cracks caused by temperature changes, I asked the T-mobile rep about it and he had heard of that, I asked him to note my account with the issue and that if I have that issue they will send me a new phone, he was more then happy to do that. Once I received my phone, knowing I have a 14 day buyers remorse I called T-mobile back and verified that my account was notated about the screen and that if I have that issue, they will infact replace it, which they will.
Point of all this is know what you are buying and know that you have certain rights as explained in the warranty, I have always found if you approach them in a polite manner, most people will help you, the times they don't I hang up and call right back, get a different rep and try again.

Yes I went to repair center to claim warranty, and after ten days they gave it back to me with few more scratches and wrote they cant find any fault, so I took photo of the display showing issue (lucky me I got gift from my brother Samsung NX1000, making some nice photos) and transferred it to Z3 and set it as wallpaper LOL
Then went back to service and showed them after that they told me next week I will get my phone, and they should replace display and motherboard...
But all of this HW issues are well known so far...all reported...

Hey Man im thinking to take the warranty but it said, no water damage i meant realy can i warranty it or im pretty much a dead man
How am I loking to service repair in my country (Croatia). They are all tomfools. Not only they don't now how to repair big problems but are avouching you in their stupidity. I saw that many times. And I had my experience with them when back glass cracks on XPERIA Z2. When I brought them device I was polite and they told me that it is foulty device and I will probebly going to get new one. But after a week they called me asking me if I dropped it. And then I realized how stupid they are. Crack was one line from edge of phone to the camera, not from some center point of impact if you understand me. And they were trying to avouch me that this was dropp and warrenty is off. So when I threatened them with accusation they told me they will advise with Sony UK. After 10 days servicce repair gave me new XPERIA Z2.
So you have to be persistent if you wan't to achieve something. It is not Sony to blame if repair service is bad in your country.
So heres my opinion. Just dont believe in sony's advertising . If you know an electronic device will spoil in the water, well dont put your device in water. I dont say sony doesnt have responsabilities. It happened to me.
I put my xperia z3 in water then i lost signal and data. When i take my device to warranty after two weeks i just got the answer : "does not apply for misuse of the device" .
So Sony is telling me something. They dont care about costumers or costumers having troubles with their device. They just care about selling lies, because when someone tells them they just did what their advertising told them what can you do then is your fault.
Anyway.... I am so disappointed about Sony. Is a good device. The best i have ever had but in customer care they stink

In Australia, Sony have been taken to task on the whole waterproof claim. They have pretty much said that they will replace devices with water damage.
Thankfully, we have strong consumer protection laws to hold them to account.

I'm sorry to hear Sony has a bad camera because Sony has a long-standing reputation for its excellent camera and even Samsung uses Sony's camera on their cellphones. I'll never put my phone into water to test its waterproof. I'd rather try the pressure sensor thing.

Not bad at all, camera is at least good if not better then good...
Z3 is a fantastic device. Along with the Note 2 (before Samsung's awful firmware upgrade which trashed it) it's the best phone I've ever had. However, like many others have found, it simply isn't waterproof. Mine got replaced but I now treat my new one like I would all previous phones i.e. keep it away from water.
wifi reception is terrible. i am at hotel now. i can even watch video with my asus tablet but xperia z3 doesn't even connect to same wifi. i am considering to sell this phone because of that.
the phone always saying "saved" for the connection.
I have this terrible WiFi too on Sony products I've ever gottten.. BEFORE I got my Z3, the WiFi reception is great to me, better than my old Xmp, XL, and GTab 2 10.1

There have been a number of posts about water damage on the Z series phones for years. Some have even accused these phones of not being truly waterproof. Now, even Sony agrees:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/10/sony-changes-stance-on-waterproof-phones-do-not-use-underwater/
This completely sucks since Sony spent $$$$ advertising the waterproof nature of their devices. We should all be getting our money back for false advertising (ha - like that will ever happen).
Why we need threads like this always ><"
I had a z2 and toked it under the shower and recorded my son and wife in the swimming pool and even under water for more then 5 min and same did it with my z3 and all os working still fine and no damage !!
I guess you keep the flaps open.

I think they are afraid too many people will take the waterproof part for granted, ignoring the chlorine/salt water warning leading to returns for failures. Also there were a sizable minority whose phones weren't properly sealed even with flaps closed (factory defect). All that makes a big difference in relation to returns and customer service issues.
I always saw the waterproof feature as accident protection more than something to purposely take advantage of, despite Sony's advertising.
Basically they are just playing it safe, I don't blame them for that (My opinion). Others may have differing opinions though.
I wouldn't put mine under water even if they were 100% sure it wouldn't get damaged. It's more of a safety feature for me.

Always looked at it more water resistant than "proof", the iP rating even says resistant

He meant, he sees it as accident protection more than something to be purposely taken advantage of.
I knew it. Sony just made this statement because of those (sorry) dumb or not so smart people who dunk their z series to salt water, chlorinated water, or chlorinated swimming pool. Sony had enough for them and consumers always mock them like crazy because their phones got dead. To clear things up, they made this statement, to me, there are a lot of consumers who experienced great things with their z series, like they luckily dunk their phones to water and nothing happened, it still works perfectly. But some of the unlucky ones didn't go that well.

Anyone in the UK fancy trying to claim the product was miss-sold to them? I'd guess a complaint to Trading Standards, your mobile network and Sony would have to be upheld. There is no shortage of promotional material from both Sony and Mobile Networks selling the z3 as the phone you can use underwater...

Seriously, did you not even read the article?! It shows example after example of Sony's advertising explicitly calling the phone "waterproof" and being used while completely submerged in water. Some ads even show it being used in a chlorinated pool. MY BAD!!!
The phone was always advertised as being IP68 rated, meaning fully submersible to 1.5m for 30 min. Now Sony says you can't even do that. Stop defending Sony's lawyers and call them out for the false advertising that they used.
And it was because of so many people on XDA creating threads about their water damaged phones that prevented me from submerging mine. Otherwise, I would have taken it into a pool just as Sony's advertising suggests. It could have been just fine, or it could have irreparably damaged my phone. I'm just no longer willing to take that risk knowing that even Sony won't stand behind their product.
This is a pretty big hit to Sony, or should I say another hit. I really like Sony devices and have owned many so this won't stop me from purchasing a Z5 but you have to wonder how this effects the global market share and Sony's viability in the mobile device market.
I have first Z, Z1s and now Z3. I also have Z tablet and Z2 tablet. I used them all in water either washed them or in the pools without any problem.
So I'm not sure what Sony tried to do with their statements.

There's a pretty big conversation here over at /r/Android. Maybe you can find some explanation. Personally I just think they changed it because there are idiots who kept getting water in.

Bull****
I just had to send mine to Sonys repair center 2 weeks ago. After using it under water for 5 minutes or less, making sure that the flaps were well closed an not going deeper than 1 meter, the touchscreen stopped working. Beside that, everything was working fine, being able to still using it after connecting a mouse. Luckily they repaired it without any comments but in the technical paper work they do not mention anything about the reason that lead to this. At the shop where I left it, the worker told me that Sony repairs an average of 2-3 devices out of 10 that broke after water damage. The thing is that you can't prove that you have closed well the flaps, and you can't prove that the technician did perform a vacuum test or not to check the devices sealing when they recieved it. All this said, people that do submerge it are at Sonys mercy...so better buy a water resistant bag or case for it, if there is any one to avoid some bad surprises. The phone is on the way and maybe with it I will receive a more detailed explanation of the situation. These are the components that they supposedly replaced:
Screw Other Len:2.6 Diam:1.4
Adhesive Battery Rear
Adhesive Battery Rear 2
Adhesive Rear Panel
Cushion Battery
Technical comments:
Terminal reparado en garantía, funciona correctamente. Se ha realizado un cambio de frontal, actualización de software a la última versión y reseteo del terminal.
Made me laugh, they performed a FRONT change, they keep the vocabulary very ambiguous to avoid generalizing the devices issues. I really expected more from this company.

Your situation is typical of other members of this forum. You used the phone as advertised and it failed. I'm not saying you're the majority, but I disagree with those who claim user error. From what I've seen numerous times on this forum, the water doesn't usually enter through the flaps. Many have claimed that the moisture indicator behind the flap never changes color, so it is failing somewhere else.

GUYS!! This is a misunderstanding by XperiaBlog. Z3+ & Z5 are NOT fully waterproof, because the USB port is not protected. Everything else still is...
It looks like a paradox. I cannot use my phone underwater though it's said to be waterproof.

Wow - yeah, I totally misread his post!
*inserts foot into mouth*
I think it said somewhere that Sony changed its recommendations but not their warranty. You can take it under water, you will get a free repair if it fails. But to keep everyone from doing it Sony has stopped promoting that behaviour.
Hi guys,
I have read that Xperia X and X Compact might be secretely watrerproof. Of course it makes no sense to me and it sounds dumb. Anyway, I have performed a pressure test on my X Compact and actually the results are quite similar to those from Z3 Compact, so maybe there is a grain of truth in these rumors. What do you think guys?
i think there maybe be some true about it, i think a least water resistant he is. The reason sony could be not saying is water proof is to avoid the warranty for water damage, as it cannot be defined as to be hardware fault (bad glue) or due to the user making unintended use (submersion on unclean water, over the time or profundity, leaving the cover open).
For me what favor being water proof, 1- the pressure test; 2- the sim/SD slot having a ruber closing similar to the Z cover model;
Also if you look at the fingerprint sony did input it on the phone and leave it unused.
But how knows the best way would be for someone to do a submersion test, but who wants to do it?
Sony Xperia X Compact in Pepsi Cola
also take a look at the teardown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMfvUJBUWOc it seams to have a glue similar to the olders Z's the usb has a rubber around, earphone jack is glued (mighty be just to fixate) uper speaker is also glued and lower one has a cover similar to the older model (seams like a number one thing) the buttons it dindt show but they seam fixated to the body
It is possible that it's waterproof but for more cost savings they didn't pay to get it certified. All we need is for someone to test it...
My understanding is that the Japanese version is IP rated, while other regions were not. I'm still not planning on testing that theory, but there's a lot of evidence (including anecdotal) that this may be true.
Just tried on my X Compact [pressure sensor test: 993 -> 1002 Millibar].
It works perfectly under water.
No damage after.
It only needs some minutes for the mic to dry completely.

Lets not forget the U.S version wasn't supposed to have a fingerprint reader so the comment about certification could be true, add this and the other video to the equation and it seems like we do have water proofing.

Fair enough.
Just made another video where the aqueduct water is evident.
Like before, I'm still not allowed to post URLs, so, search on youtube for
"sony xperia x compact waterproofing".
Edit:
changed youtube video description to
"sony xperia x compact waterproof - evident aqueduct water"
i think sony just doesnt want to deal with any water problems so they say it's not waterproof so if someone's phone gets water damaged they don't need to take responsibilities. but they made it waterproof because that way it can share parts (SIM tray, charging port, headphone jack etc.) with other devices and don't need to order extra parts

My beloved XT1635-02 is dead.
I was removing and replacing the gel protective cover to hide my T pass behind it and noticed what looked like the center section of the display screen bulging out/separating from the case. Long story short, the plastic bag that encases the battery had swollen and pushed it out(battery out-gassing). Either that, or my efforts to remove the display cracked the display. Only the top inch of it works. I removed the battery and disposed of it properly expecting that it was about to explode. Just checked and cheapest display is about $33 and battery is about $10. I had ordered a used Moto X4 yesterday ($100), but was hoping to make this into a spare, but at that price it gets trashed. Life goes on...
Running on my old Moto G3 - ALWAYS have a spare!!!
Note, I had almost never used the fast-charge charger.
:crying:
:laugh:
I think this is a known issue with the moto z play. I had to get my battery replaced after it "puffed" and pushed the screen out of the body. Had to fight tooth and nail with Motorola to cover it under warranty. Now 12 months later from the replacement being installed I can see the replacement battery is starting to puff as well so I am currently looking to replace it with probably a Huawei p30pro or a Xiaomi note 10 pro...
My friend who also bought this phone at a different time and a different store had his first battery puff, had it replaced and the second battery puffed as well. He's now onto his third battery.
I know it's a small sample size of two but still I've never had a phone battery do that before so it seems it may be an issue with this phones battery model
Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk
Sample size of 3... thanks for sharing. bad batch of batteries? - probably, if it was happening that fast for you and your friend. I didn't see any deformation of the battery itself when I got it out, but if it's outgassing I wouldn't want to chance it (by pricking the bag with a pin).
Lithium batteries seem to be constantly in the news... Not much to be done, though - everything depends on them these days...
Most any phone out there is good, though I seem to stick with Moto because way back there I got a sammy and it had terrible antennas/reception and moto had great. so I stick with them, for now at least. Did have a huawei way back there and it was fine. Never had a xiaomi but I don't think they work in US with ATT. politics!
I have no intention of modifying the new phone, at least at the moment - too much of a time sink!
how long did you use mzp. I'm in the mzp threads for nearly 2,5 years and you where always there too. So your mzp should have neatly same age as mine
I ordered mine, used, on Jan 11, 2018 so I've had it a month short of 2 years. Hard to say how long it was used before that. sticker on mobo says 2016-09-14 so it's max 3 years old. It's hard to compare stuff that's that old to even older phones because technology continually changes and the insulating layer between the layers inside the battery keeps getting thinner to yield thinner phones. I guess battery problems are just payback for getting thinner phones!
I tryed to replace battery / order a kit from iFixIt but must goten wrong tools or the worst quality of screwhead so now they are rounded.
What tool you used to open battery holder?
have you tryd to unplug 2 cables than hold screen and unplug it again?

There is a bracket covering the battery connection that has 6 torx-4 screws. I got my tool kit a long time ago on ebay - probably 3 or 4 phones ago so figure a year or 2 per phone. It's 10 years old.
There are 2 ribbon cables holding the display on. I unplugged both of them, but I wouldn't have known how without finding a video on youtube of a MZP teardown that showed me how.
I will not get a new display for it as they cost $35 plus and a new(to me) X4 cost me $100. My old G3 still works for a spare so I dont need the mzp for a spare.

Yes, was torx 4. Those screws were in really tight so you might have just broken one off.
Phone repair is often a dangerous and costly game.
Often it is better and cheaper to move forward rather than trying to fix the old.

I would highly recommend against buying either brand of phone. Both companies are Chinese owned, and have been proven to have backdoors.
Anyone that values their privacy should NEVER own a Huawei device.
On top of that, they removed the ability to use custom launchers on the mate 10, right before I sold mine.

Realistically I see no more issue with the Chinese having my data than American companies like Google and Facebook. They are just as untrustworthy as the Chinese.

@Talos77 you are probably right. Besides, everything these days is made in China! Certainly my Motos are. But I never do anything on a phone I wouldn't want published on a billboard. That said I am now going to unsub this thread and leave you on your own!
Have fun!!!
