Electricity in the camera?

Well i was on XDA scolling through just looking at stuff and i was holding my phone at the same time and the camera was against my face and i felt like i cut my lip or something. Then i put my lip back on the titanium or whatever part (metal part around the camera) and felt some electricity feeling shocking my lip! Can anyone explain what this probably is?

Question......how the hell do u browse xda and have the camera attached to your lip lol??? Really want to know

I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Anyways, I actually just tried this. I wonder how stupid I looked. No shock btw.

It's not metal... it is plastic that is painted to look like chrome.

Current leak, you should get a replacement. The part isn't mounted correctly and the bezel or something inside is shorting the part.
My other guess is that you're imagination is kicking in.

It sounds to me, there is a small little short which the camera is right near the nuclear powered wave flux capacitor and the eon anti-gravity generator is somehow causing an interdimenional portal energy discharge.
Just be careful.

Hahaha best answer ever xD thx 4 the laugh, needed it
N ye bro, considerin the bezel isn't conductive, simply put either u actually did scrape ur lip on sumthin,
Or this is just a random occurrence, the entire notion doesn't seem plausible to me, simply put
If there was a short it would effect the camera to say the least and technicly with the systems
Powersaving, the camera is off when not In use, therefore no current is possible, second note
These phones are designed rather ingeniously as the parts are molded/soldered right to the board lol
Only possible way for a short would b if a part became "unhitched" from the board,
This CAN happen from large drops etc, BUT with a case its not really an issue, without a case, screen is always the first to go. Therefore if ur still using ur display, that's not the issue, if u can use ur camera fine, ITS not the issue,
Simply put, either u had ur phone plugged in to a different then standard charger and wasn't grounded properly (plausible, heres y, the discharge would probably come from the most conductive surface, with this device that is around the camera) if that is the case use the stock charger as that's not good for the device anyways
Other plausible solution:
U were on crack xD
Hope this answered ur question
Peace

I love when people don't know what their talking about and reply anyways.. one, its not glass, its a plastic, 2 if it was glass, do u realize how quick they would break? 3 look at ur camera, its like less then 1mm from the outside of the case, now think, that camera is encased in plastic, thin nonetheless, but completely metal internally, technicly, if there was a charge this IS the place it would come from, and couldn't be diacharged unless a conductive surface was close enough for the current to "jump" through, like a finger or lip, in this sense..
Fourth but not leastt, if they don't use electricity, how can I take pics wit it? U gut me confused now..

Sorry late reply had alot going on. Anyways. I dont know its not happening anymore but it was shocking me a bit which was weird ill check it daily to see if it happens again. If it does does that mean somethings messed up on my phone? If so what do i do? Send it back in?

Maybe the electricity dont comes from the device, maybe comes from your own body. Aire you heard about the central nervous system? Perhaps the impact detone it.

Not really, believe what u want, I take my frustration out on idiocy when I see it.
Ur right it doesn't change the facts.
Its a lens, not technicly a "sensor" thes would be your motion/gps/proximity/magnetic field seonsors.
Its not covered by glass its actually a small rounded peice of glass, called a lens, the "cap" is plastic.
And you are in fact correct, it is insulated, but at ths same time its meant to protect against standard voltages when need be, ur cameras not constantly leaking energy here...
My point, if u actually took the time to read, it IS possible for the device to build up access current, but not technicly plausible.
The easiest method that would come to mind would be using an incorrect charger that left the device not grounded properly.
If the buildup WAS present, considerig the design of the phone it probably would go unnoticed to the user.
The easiest spot for the current to leak through WOULD IN FACT BE around the camera.
Even with it insulated if the discharge was great enough, It could potentially jump to the nearest conductive surface, even if the insulation dampened the charge enough if the correct object was used a charge could be detected. In this sense, a lip, which if you knew anything about anatomy you would know there are a massive ammount of nerve endings in the mouth/ lips, along with the moisture, would make it MORE then sensitive to feel a current.
here's a test.go stick a 9v battery on ur tongue c how it feels.
My origional statement remains unchanged. Ur entitled to your opinion, but I don't wanna hear it, ok?

Xperia z compact left side slightly misaligned?

Hi, I just got the phone yesterday and right away I noticed that the left side of the aluminum framing is a little off?
It's hard to notice but if everybody can please take a moment and look at the left side, where the magnetic charging port, does that section tend to extrude a little more than the rest of the frame? Compare that part to the port flaps on top from an angle and you should see that the charging port section is extruding a little more ?
Thanks for your time and replies.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

hmm, 50 views and nobody replied, does that mean nobody is having the same problem? just a defective unit ?

There is in other z1c devices too. Not all. Don't worry, I don't think it is a defect. Everything works as it should including magnetic charger and water resistance!

So in some devices, they aluminum frames are perfectly aligned while others are not and it's not considered a defect? I don't quite follow the logic here. Anybody else has a slight misalignment? It's not major but on an angle you can tell that the Magnetic charging port is slightly different compared to the flaps on top.

Have I offended you in anyway? In my post, I wasn't refering to your logic that I didn't follow, I'm referring to Sony. If there are obvious units out there with perfect alignment and some that aren't perfect, Sony should refer to those as defective units and issue a recall to fix it, no? It's a premium device after all. Didnt mean to offend you if i did, I'm sorry.

So post one that highlights what you're talking about, i.e face on.

I don't have the phone with me at work today, but those of you who have the phone with you, maybe you can pick it up and view it a little. The frame where the magnetic charging port sits, seems to protrude a little more than the frame near the flap areas.

If I stare at mine hard enough, I think I can see the part around the charger protruding slightly more than above and below it. But the difference is very small and not noticeable unless you're looking for it.

Look at angle from slightly bottom up, it's very minimum but once you find it, you can tell that the flap areas are more indented than the magnetic charging ports. I saw it last night once I got the phone. Try to turn the phone a little while you're looking at it, if the phone is sitting down on the table its very hard to tell. You have to be holding it and looking at the frame while moving the phone around. I just need to make sure that it'ts not a defective unit and that's how these phones were made. If not I'll return the phone for a replacement. All else with the phone is fine though. I'll also stop by a local store later to check out the z1 and z1s to see if they have the same problem.

okay here are the updated photos that i took. notice that on the left side, its not completely straight because of the extra protruding from the magnetic charger port.

I was kidding earlier with the OCD .
To be honest, I do not see anything wrong in the pictures. Maybe I really can not see it. You need to get right the reflections in order to evidentiate such think in a photo.
Bottom line: if YOU do not like it, go ahead and exchange it or return it. Anyway, the small, fine details, that you are looking after, will not be at the level of an iPhone. That's a fact.

I don't see anything either in those photos.
To be sure that you're not just seeing an optical illusion from the reflections of the changing surface along that edge, why not just take a ruler to it and measure? Or place on a piece of paper and trace an outline? Does it wobble if you rest it on that edge?
You'll never be certain if you just rely on your eyes.

This is mine.

The way you've applied your screen protector would be more annoying. Lay the left side on a flat surface and that will highlight it more, but to me it looks like the protective plastic is giving the illusion that it is.

Raised glass at bottom?

Hi
Been using this phone for last 2 weeks. Must say its great. Only defect I noticed in build is that the lower edge of the glass near the capacitive buttons is raised slightly in the middle. It is not 100% flush across the length on the screen.
Is this a common problem?

Mine bends slightly upwards on the left side due to a somewhat sloppy screen repair on my part. However the glue under there is not a drying adhesive, so you can try to leave it under pressure for a couple of hours and you may see some improvement.

Does this mean you don't need blowdryer or heat gun to melt the glue? Just hold it in place?

Display loose

Hi guys
Can you check curved edges part of display near top and bottom portion to see when pressed with little pressure whether screen goes down ? Especially near front facing camera .
Thank You

Checked near the front camera area and yes ,the screen goes down a little upon pressing in the edges with little pressure.

I agree, it's not a major issue, I was thinking to take of the screen completley and reglue it using some duble sided tape... But there is a risk of breaking the screen in the proces... It's not worth it

What about putting duck tape across top and bottom of the screen? Don't forget to make holes for loudspeaker, front camera and proximity sensor. And for microphone and fingerprint at bottom
So, you're all saying that tbe whole screen is moving a bit in the case? Check teardown and you'll see that is actually glued. Not my favorite solution but I suppose is cost effective.

Bought a screen off eBay, yes you need to heat up the glue underneath the screen with a heat gun.
Got the new screen in after I had to remove all the small piece of glass that was still glued but it's not an easy repair and I still have screen issues I assume the screen isn't the same quality as the original one which comes with a silver backing plate.
In bright sunlight my screen turns blue

The battery maybe will never die, because a bigger LiPo much longer live as a small one and we just load again all 2 or 3 days. So that's ok that's build in. Maybe the screen is much earlier broken. Hope it doesn't broke
My battery has 3600mAh(3597)

If you observe carefully just above volume up button screen is not even inside the aluminum frame there is slight gap. And if you apply little pressure screen goes down. Is this normal ?

Hi, please see the picture and tell me if it's happened to you, the back glass not fitting correctly after only 3 months of normal use, no drop, and what do you suggest a solution? thank you.

I was just noticing this on mine a few days ago. But I cant remember if it was always this way. I noticed it after my phone got super hot from charging, at 1st I though it was the battery swelling. Device cares app says my battery is healthy. So idk but the seams seem to be consistent all around just wider than I thought they were.

Probably an adhesive failure/improper assembly. May or may not effect it's water/dust resistance.
Needs to be disassembled to be examined/ repaired.
Extreme heat weakens the adhesive bond of the strips used to secure the back panel. It's possible that careful heating and then pressing down could reseat it, but given the cost of the phone probably best to leave it to an experienced tech. Also the adhesive surface may have by now become contaminated with dust making simple attachment impossible without replacing the strip.
