Hi,
as I think the notification LED on the Arc is just too small and very badly placed, I thought if it would be possible to do a hardware modification and install a bigger, brighter multicolor-LED e.g. on the bottom on the phone or 4 small ones around the corners for notification.
Does anybody know if it will be possible to solder new LEDs inside that tiny thing?
Yeah I guess it could be slightly bigger or something I don't mined it to much though but I hope Sony keeps this model of it's Xperia line and just keeps on making improvements on it .
I think it is just to damn small there is no space inside the phone, it is a good idea tough and it is not comletly impossible
wrong thread.

Hi, my Xperia play has a kinda loose back of the screen plate, the part i point in the picture with a red arrow is different feeling, like a bit loose unlike the part i point with the blue arrow.
if i press the part of the backplate pointed with the blue arrow i dont feel any movement at all, but if i touch the part pointed by the red arrow i notice it is more away meaning more detached from the back of the screen than the other and if push it i can feel it moving to the position the other is.
so mi question is, is this normal, and could it cause any problems with normal use, the phone is new, i noticed it by accident.

Anyone please
If it's relatively new, call your provider and get it replaced. Should be under warrenty.
Also check to make sure theres no broken clips.
can i tell if a clip is broken without openning the cell? i dont' think is is because it just like half cm that the side market in the red arrow is outter than the blue one, but i can push it foward unlike the blue arrow one that is still.
Heres a detailed photo of the problem, the part in the blue square is good and the part in the red square is kinda misaligned out of the frame (i can push it and it moves to the place it should be, but comes to this position when i stop pushing), could this be serious and possibly get worst or this is something that can normally happen normal can i continue using it without problems, i don't have warranty
what you guys think, looking at the last picture?
Sorry, I know this isn't going to help but, your Play looks way different to mine. Different volume and different L/R buttons. I know there are different models, but I never realised that the actually outwards facing hardware was different.

Lol.
So back on topic, please can someone tell me if i should worry of this problem or i can continue use the phone normally without concern:

Is it in warrenty?
no, do you think is something serious or i can continue using it normally?
Nobody can really tell without actually getting it into their hands. To me, from the pictures, it looks ok to use. But without actually feeling how loose it is I can't say for sure.
Personally, without a warranty, I would continue to use it but just be careful when sliding it open and closed.
If you notice anything other than the loose backplate, then it is time to get it checked out. Eg, dimmed screen, lack of responsiveness to the touch screen etc. Especially around the area where it is loose.
thanks, it's not realy loose just kinda moved half cm outwards of the frame, and it only moves if i push it down to where it is supposed to be. the other side cant be moved because its pressed against the frame, unlike this side.
Yeah, just sounds like a broken clip all right. Like what you first though. I'd say you will be fine.
Thanks.
Could be but i dont feel any broken pieces moving inside, and i havent dropped the phone and i opened from its seal brand new.
but is this is the cause, you think this could have been caused by the plastic case, it's a trident one?
also, can clips be replaced easily by yourself, or the cell have to be serviced?
No, it's more likely a clip that is actually attached to the casing. You are unlikely to hear anything as it would have fallen out long ago. They are quite small.
Eg, like the ones that hold the back of the phone in place.
I can't imagine a case would have done this. It's too.... internal, if you know what I mean. Is it possible it was like this when you bought it? It could have just been shipped badly or something. These things happen.
If it is what I think it is, then the casing itself would need to be replaced and that wouldn't be worth the money.
Thanks again
Hey,
I got my LT28H today, but I might have to return it - there is a little piece of dust on the screen underneath the digitizer :
http://i.imgur.com/vOyGD.jpg
Has anybody else had similar issues? Any other way to resolve that? It is especially visible if I press an area close-by, because then a dark wave becomes visible around the piece of dust, further supporting my idea that it is in between the digitizer and the screen.
Also, the softkeys, as somehow expected, really seem hard to use and unreliable, even with the latest firmware update - is there any help for that? Did you get used to the form and ergonomy of the device? I feel like it doesn't fit too well in my hand, given its edginess, which makes reaching the whole screen somewhat painful - but maybe I'm just holding that wrong. So far I don't find the device too convincing and I might just return it instead of exchanging it with a device with a normal display... The Xperia S looks more tempting right now, especially with the still bad availability of the Nexus 4.
Cheers,
Alexander
Well,the softkey need to be slide from down to up in order to use it efficiently

Have you removed you factory applied shatter proof sheet from the screen? If not it is more than likely just under that and not between screen.

So ,on top of the dust particle that stuck under the glass on the navigation bar, Few days a go I noticed a small red mark on my nexus 7's screen , when I was looking for light bleeds . its visible only on black backgrounds and as higher the backlight levels the more visible it is , I am sure it wasn't there before , and i didn't drop it or hit it with anything . is anyone experienced this on his device?
I am really thinking about RMA again (first time they didn't see any deadpixels/dust so i don't sure they will this time).
Btw , did anyone notice that there is little flex to the device ?
Where is this flex you speak of? Mine has no flex anywhere but I may not be looking in the same spot.

You guys are crazy.
Buy a budget device and look for premium, Apple-ish perfection...
A budget device has always little flaws and no 100% QC. Get over it.
*shaking head*
It doesn't matter if you pay 200$ or 2000$, you should get a working devices , with no problems .
Yeah, it would be possible - but no Android user would buy these devices, because they would either be expensive (like Apple devices) or have lame specs.
So the manufacturers make compromises in order to get marketable specs for low price.
My Xperia Z1 Compact just suffered the same fate as my Xperia Z1 a few weeks back (I probably shouldn't be buying smartphones hehe), that is, I dropped it from a relatively low height (though in the case of the Z1 I, and several others, may have slightly danced on it as well) and put a crack in the screen. After this drop the touch layer isn't working as it should, it only registers touches on the left side of the phone, and it only does that sometimes. Looking at other phones I've cracked the screens of in the past, these two are the only ones where I've had this problem with the touchscreen post-incident, the others, no matter how much I'd disintegrate the screens, touch would always still work. As this is the second Sony phone I've had recently that behaves like this after cracking the screen I'm beginning to think that Sony designs their phones in a way that makes this outcome more likely.
So my question is this: have people around here noticed similar behaviour in their Sony phones when the screen was cracked?
Hi. Sorry for my English. I have a problem with the display on my XZ1c. The same problem as with my previous z3c (3 times!). The screen takes off in the upper left corner. They have repaired it and after 1 year .... again !! Has anyone had that problem? I have had 9 Sony Xperia but I no longer trust ...
I do not want a larger size and the ONLY possible option is the future Iphone 12 (same size as XZ1c). But I like Android ...

No issues here, and I've had mine from the start.

I'd rather have a slightly larger screen than any iPhone, so if you consider that to be an option of any kind I'd jump ship now.
Any video sample

Thank you.
I prefer Android. I have never used Iphone. I know this forum is from Android but ... why don't you advise using IPhone?
It's a really annoying problem that I had many times with my Z3Cs. The device still has a lot of support but I'd never go back to it.
I currently have two X Compacts and two XZ1 Compacts and fortunately none of them have this issue (yet). I haven't seen any other reports of it on here before.

I replaced the screen on my XZ1c because I was having the same issue with the screen lifting up and the screen also had weird splotches of color either from it being bent out all kinds of stuff getting in there. Here are my experiences.
The way I fixed it was to buy some b7000 glue from Amazon and just put glue where the screen is lifting up.
https://www.amazon.com/Catpalm-Adhe...keywords=b7000+adhesive&qid=1590475714&sr=8-3
If that doesn't work I would recommend removing the whole screen, purchasing the screen adhesive strip from somewhere like witrigs
Link to adhesive:
https://www.witrigs.com/witrigs-back-cover-sticker-for-sony-xperia-xz1-compact
Then glue the screen back on with the adhesive strip and put a layer of b7000 all around the back of the screen. Just make sure not to put too much. This worked for me and I tested it and it's still waterproof.
But obviously I wouldn't recommend testings that.
Also if any of the glue is sticking out at the end it can be cut off our pulled off after it has dried.

I would recommend checking out the Galaxy S10e, it is a pretty great device which is not much larger than our beloved XZ1c, and some of the XZ1c developers are moving over to it too.
Here are the specifications for the Galaxy S10e:
https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s10e-9537.php
I also attached a picture showing the size of the phones next to each other and some other phones.
One last thing,
I would recommend looking at this thread to see if they have other phone ideas:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/help/alternative-to-xz1c-t3890142/page1
The Galaxy S10e 5.8“ is substantially larger than the XZ1C 4.6“ screen. I'd go with a Pixel 1 at 5.0" before going to a 5.8" screen.

That's true.
Though the overall size of the S10e is the same as the Pixel 1. The S10e has a larger screen since it has smaller bezels all around.
So if phone size is important it and not specifically the screen size I think it has better hardware, although worse developer support for now, I'm guessing. And battery life also isn't as good.

Old thread, but still very relevant.
I am interested to know what would be the best solution in this case for the XZ1 Compact. I can see that even the adhesive Sony is selling to ASWO for this device is not gluing the screen onto the body properly.

How is that Witrigs adhesive? Is it water resistent in and of itself or just as good as the Sony one?
Did anyone try heating it up before and after placing the screen onto the body?
EDIT: The adhesive is Hot-Melt. Heat it up to at least 60 C and it will glue the screen like factory.
