The USB cover on my lovely phone has become distorted for no good reason. I hardly ever remove it because I use magnetic chargers so I have no idea how it happened.
It is distorted at both ends so that, when you rub a finger across it, the ends are raised up.
I hope the waterproofing is not affected.
Anyone else seen this issue and have any idea how it occurred.

I had to replace the screen and digitiser on my TP2 after shutting it in the boot of a car (clever huh?). I accomplished the swap surprisingly easily after buying a pre-built screen and digitiser from Hong Kong for about £25. It even came with a spudger to help me take it apart I followed a few guides, including this iFixit one, which greatly helped.
Frustratingly though after putting it all back together and making a test call, the earpiece rattles during calls. Not a lot, but enough to make me want to fix it; applying gentle pressure to a certain top part of the bezel reduces the rattle a little bit but I've taken it apart three times and taped up various sections now to see if stops the problem. Unfortunately, no such luck.
Is the earpiece rattle something to do with inadequate insulation (or the ribbon cable running down the back of the screen)? Everything's sandwiched in pretty tight and I've reapplied electrical tape to what I think are the key areas. I've also padded the top area where the earpiece comes through the metal mesh and I've stuck the mesh down with doublesided tape so it can't move about. The problem persists though...
Everything else works fine, and the speaker also works perfectly with no vibrations or rattles (even though I also took that bit apart to inspect it) so I can't figure out why just the earpiece is rattling. Anybody taken their Touch Pro2 apart, had the same problem and solved it?
I have torn apart probably 3-4 TP2 screens and never had anything rattle. Did you lose a screw in there by chance? That is the only thing that would be small enough to rattle in there I think.
The only other thing I could thing that it might be is a bad connection to the vibrator motor. Maybe you have the little ribbon cable pinched or a bit off the socket it fits in.
Hi,
Some time after buying my gnex it was charging on my computer desk with the USB hooked up, the cable got tangled in my chair and when I went to get the door, it slingled the phone across the room.
Luckily I couldn't detect any visual or functional defect, but after a while I noticed that if I apply some pressure to the lower left part of the device, on the screen, there is like a creaking noise, as if I can move the screen around a fraction of a mm inside the housing. I can also flex the screen when applying pressure on the top right of the screen where the front facing camera is.
Probably happened from the fall or do others have this?
I also have this very rare graphics glitch, when swiping homescreens, only happens when going from one particular homescreen with gmail widget to the one with the calendar widgt, there is like a tear in it, only lasts for a split second.
Sounds like the screen got loose when it flung across the room I don't have that issue with mine call for a replacement say its been like that since day 1
Hello there!
I bought my xperia m 10 days ago, and i am pleased so far, except for one thing..
I noticed yesterday that the removable cover has started creaking, especially on the side with no buttons where the usb port is.
Has anyone else noticed that with their device? Is this something that inevitably happens after a while, or should i try to get it replaced because of a defect?
Yes, it started happening a few days after I bought or... If it happens to others too, I'll assume it's inevitable

Hmm I see..
Well I thought I'd ask because if it is something that is going to happen anyway, i will not bother taking it to the store.
They will have to send the phone to the service center and all that fuss just to replace the back cover, so it is not worth it.
If someone else can also confirm that this is the case with their phone I will be assured.
My phone also makes noises when pushed, most at top right and bottom left corners.
Well I take it there is nothing I can do about it then, so no point in returning it, I will have to live with it...
It is a shame though, because other than that the phone is outstanding in terms of value, I see no reason to spend any more that what I spent on this. It hits the sweet spot for me in the price/performance scale.
Has anyone found any solution to this problem?
I have tried putting little pieces of paper at the hotspots (bottom left and below the usb port in my case) but I had little success...
I am also curious to hear reports from others, maybe a silicon case can lessen the issue...

I have silicone case, it is the same. I am thinking about using thin layer of hotglue. It can be peeled of easily.
After some experimenting I found that putting a small piece of paper (3mm tall and about 3cm long) between the phone and the cover eliminated the major creaks that where in the lower-middle left side of my phone. I just folded a piece of printer paper in two and cut it to the above dimensions. If you try it make sure to put it in a way that does not block the small plastic clips that clip on the phone.
Don't know if I am paranoid or not, but there is a slight "click" if I rub my finger on the back of the phone. It is almost like there is just a slight space between the back casing and the innards of the phone. When applying pressure it just touches the two surfaces.
Is anyone else experiencing this...is it cause for concern or just normal operating conditions?
Thank you.
Nothing on my end here... Been wiping it like crazy when I was trying to put screen protector on the back and no clicks here. Same when I was pressing it as I also saw similar issues on talk.sonymobile.com.
Having the same thing here too. Altough i wouldn't be too alarmed. Im pretty certain it's just the plastic casing on the back thats moving a bit.
Seems there are many people in my situation....
You are not alone... and I hope to help....

Possible Fixes...
Hitting your phone with your knee... barbaric but works... for a few seconds... DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM
Buying a new headphone jack port.. get one on ebay for under 6 bucks. you will have a new headphone jack DOES NOT FIX PROBELM
Tightening screw on back of phone... this will temporarily fix
My theories and ideas... There are not enough screws in the area and not enough pressure to hit the contact points (grounds) that the phone sandwiches between the front and back of the phone.
When driving the slightest vibration, breaks that contact, causing the headphones to have static.
I need to something that would....
1. Can bridge that gap and carry a current...
2. a Buffer that will fill that small gap, and reduce vibration...
The fix Cut a small ribbon of aluminum foil,, fold that ribbon, over and over till you have a tiny square that will fit in the space pictured below. Poke a hole in the tiny square with a sewing needle, and make it wider with a tooth pick.
Now the screw that goes through this hole usually screws though the back of the case... were going to bypass the back of the case and scew this directly into that hole. With the hope of adding more pressure to the area and reduce vibration.

Is this fix still working for you? I have been trying to figure out this problem for a month now. The only reason I came across this post is because I did a generic search for headphones... Thanks so much for posting this. I thought it was the liquidsmooth rom because it did not start until after I flashed it.
Hi guys.
I just tried this fix with no success.
Maybe my problem is that I do need a new port.
But the worst part is that after assembling everything back together, my hardware buttons stopped working (home, back and menu)
Any clue on why, and how to fix it?
Thanks.
