when my Xperia Acro S Dip into the water there is a bubble come up from the usb cover, is it normal or a factory defect?
I won't say thats normal
Bubble means air
So where ever the air was present (usb) it was replaced by water ( thats why bubble came out)
Guess there might be a leak
but after the bubbles I pick up my phone and the phone still works with no damage, I think the water replace the spaces on the cover but not with the rubber on.

I had the same thing.
as long as the inside rubber was properly closed, and not damaged, I think there will be no problem.
under the headset-connector cover I have a red (pink) sticker, so I guess, that means a little water must have hit that sticker, but that can also be from opening the cover after the phone was in the water, and still wet...
What i have a problem with, is that the covers for usb, and for head-set are regularly hard to close properly.
thats actually normal since there are spaces in the enclosure..it gets filled up but as long as the rubber seals are properly closed, then theres nothing to worry about :good:

had my TP2 nearly a year but recently i have noticed the screen has like a rectangle shape oil slick type mark on itvery noticable and seems to be getting worse anyone else had this??
its as though there's water under the screen protector but when i remove the SC its still there
search newton ring.
newtons ring??? kind of the case. the "oil slick" is mearly trapped condensation between the digitizer and the top plastic covering that you catually touch(the plastic you put the screen protector on). moisture seeps in through the bottom keys and earpiece in forms of vapor and liquid. this occurs when you have your phone in your pocket or use it in humidity(shower or weather)...congrats, you ve trapped your sweat lol. the reason why its rectangle is because the screen/digitizer and top plastic are not set flush together. as you know, the top plastic is very flexable so you can take your finger and feel the various componets in the empty spaces. i can confirm my finding because a few months back, i replaced my tp2 screen. i seen it had the oil slick before i opened it and before i put humpty back together again, i wiped under the plastic screen and felt a slight moist film. i tried to guess how the hell water got in and i concluded by a salty electronic taste...yeah i smelt and tasted it...that it was sweat. i always carried my phone in my front pocket and over time, the sweat built up. after a wipe with electronic cleaning cloths, an air dry and then an air can blow(i love my phone lol), i put it back together and bam...no oil slick. another way to think of my theory is, you know when you swim with your watch and condensation builds up on the inner quartz and makes it look foggy?...same thing here. only thing different is that there is only one flat surface and not 2 like inside the phone so the moisture wont look like an oil spill, it will just be foggy.
so how do i open the screen up to get rid is it easy enough to do or will bloww warm air over it do it ???

there are lots of vids on how to disassemble the tp2. check youtube. just to let you know, its a long process. you have to take apart the entire phone just to get to the screen...good luck.
ps i would post the vid link but im typing this off my tp2. if you cant find a good video, i will link one here later.
check my skydrive for the dissasembly doc

Recently i received my Xperia Z1C White. After some careful checking (that happens when you are a techy) i noticed that the frame bends slightly inwards at the back side. I made a small example of what i mean on a photo. The problem is. If you can press those parts of the frame inwards, what happens with the waterproof seal between that part of the frame and the plastic bezel on top of this? Is this the case with every Xperia Z1C or is this a rare problem?
I suspect this also is the reason why you can hear a sound while pressing the screen slightly.

Same on my phone, but only the charging port side, and my phone squeaks too.
Me too - i can also press the frame inward. Oh my god, i´m a bit confused now...lets hope everything is ok and water is no problem for that...
*EDIT* But i have to say that this also is an issue to find on my Z1 !
Had a bit of convex shape on the back, barely noticeable. Hairdryer and pressing did the trick.
And no, don't be too harsh to the phone.
Glue seems to be unequally applicated.
Made in China after all.
I don't know why, but it doesn't seems any problem with my white phone.
I wonder hwo wide spread or problematic this is. On a normal phone this wouldnt be a problem at all. But on a waterproof phone every error can be a problem.
Mine seems to have the same microscopic gap on the back around the docking port.
I dunked it in a bowl of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Took it out, dried it off - no problems.
The back of mine flexes when pressed hard in the center, but there are no gaps at the edges (even when pressed)
Is this something they'd accept a warranty replacement for? Where do you go about requesting such?

I think no warranty on this, they will probably consider it normal.
The problem with high precision designed devices like this and iphones is, that if something is a bit off you notice it easier.
I do regret it a bit that i didnt exchange it within the 7 days that it is possible to exchange a product after buying it in holland. But if it is widespread, then the case of a phone without the flexing frame/misaligned frame would be very small.
For anyone worried about the waterproof nature of their device, the only thing I can say is - test it. If the product works as intended you're golden. If not, you're covered by warranty.
I'm avid photographer and diver and with all new waterproof equipment, the first thing I do is test their waterproofing by either dunking them in the tub or the sink full of water.
You've bought a device with a capability which you should be able to trust. No need to find out 1 year later when you drop it in the toilet that your device is faulty.

Same here, only a small gap around docking port that can be ever so slightly pressed in under higher-than-normal pressure, never noticed it in every day handling.
Mine keeps pulling hairs out of my beard!

I believe there's a sensor-like surface when you open up one of the flaps (the micro-USB one I think). It's a small white square and it turns red when in contact with water.
This is how the service centres know that you are complying to proper usage. So do be careful not to get the internals wet
That would make sense

I have exchanged mine, still a little flex around the charging port but the back is definitely more flush. No small gap and less cracking noise when pressing the back as well. Very content with the built quality of this phone now.
after the first charge my rubber cover for the battery looks bent. i guess i pried it out and to the left instead of backwards towards the strap and that's how this happened. i have big fingers and it wasn't easy for me to pry it open at all. i tried to bend it back the other direction and it almost sits flush now. it doesn't appear the seal around the actual micro-usb port is damaged, just the outer rim standing up you see. wondering if this is normal, and if it will have any negative effects when it comes to waterproofing.
Yes...exactly the same.
Doesn't look right

It looks to me like your usb port cover is damaged. I can't believe that pulling it out on the left side instead of the back would bend it permanently like that. I would guess it's defective. If the watch is new and still under warranty, I would probably try to exchange it for another.
I've had my SW3 for about 7 months and have taken the usb rubber cover off many times to charge the watch. So far, it has held up well and still looks new. Click on the below imgur link to see a couple of pics of my SW3 compared to yours.

anyone else? i googled pics of this and all the pictures showed it to be bent the same as mine and onatepp
maybe even helpful if onatepp or others have tried this in the water with no damage...
No need to worry in my opinion. Mine looks the same and I bought mine 7 months ago and several times per week I am taking a shower with it after workout.... I do not think you need a perfect seal to have a waterproof watch, the usb port would not let the moisture into the main body. The rubber cover mainly serves to prevent electrical issues when charging, and maybe corrosion.
You can try with yours
Ok, getting serious, I do not think there is an issue with water. The USB port is sealed.
Will not leak water on the inside. The rubber is meant not to let dust/rubbish inside.

I got a very small amount of water in my M9 when I was cleaning it. Water only entered between the glass and the metal by the front facing camera. There's a small blob on my display that has been slowly spreading. I'm pretty sure it's under the backlight as I can only see it when the screen is on. I had tried warming up the phone but it did nothing other than making the blob bigger and less opaque. It's right by the SD Card Slot. Any ideas on how to get it out?
If the screen has delaminated you'll have to replace it. Place the phone in a sealed jar with a few packets of silica gel for a few days and let the gel draw the water out. If you heat or cool the water it expands and does more damage. Leave it at room temperature (19c-21c).
My guess is it's delaminated.

Its fine now. There is just a dark spot where the water was.
Seems all I can find is how to replace rear glass and lose the factory water seal.
Is there some place to purchase the back glass with the tape that goes properly around the camera and led lens?
How do you guys fix it properly?
I'm thinking silicone glue might work, but it would be very difficult to apply a thin line and hope it doesn't get on to something that will cause problem.
First... If you put silicone glue , you wont be able to take it out if you need to replace it again , or it will be very dificult.... And probably you will apply it badly and it will expand to other parts of the phone and break them ...
Second , there is a thin tape from 3M that might work but is really dificult to apply and i dont know if it protects against water
The best thing to donis replace it with normal "screen" glue and be carefull

In amazon you can find that tape from 3M double face with just 1mm from 7€
Thank you for the comment. I was thinking the same but the thing is when you put the tape around the camera and LED lens, there is going to be a seam which could let water through. But I guess I could just drop a tiny drop of glue on to the seam.? I need to search for "screen glue" now. Any suggestions?
The reason I'm doing the repair is not because of looks, but because I want the phone to be water resistant again like factory.
(I just bought the phone and ordered the case to arrive the next day. As I'm waiting the next day, it falls out of my pocket while trying to get inside a car. Being about 2 feet off the ground. I'm very surprised how weak the glass is because it hit the frame first and cracked the corner.)
I spent a total of 3 hours. Not only searching for Pixel but also Samsung Galaxy and everybody that does the repair ends up doing it by destroying the phones water resistant feature. I have not found one tutorial or video on YouTube that somebody fixes the phone the factory way so it retains the water resistance or waterproof, whatever you want to call it.

You can also search for a screen that comes with the original sticker (tape) ... That might work
The problem with the rear replacement glass is that the only adhesive is around the glass and nothing around the camera and LED lens.
