Hi, is there a DIY method or place (EU) to change the battery and maybe the backcover, which can guarantee the waterproofing will still be ok after the procedure?
Backover is fixed with a glue sticker. If you'll use a good original sticker and place it in a right way, then waterproof will be as it was before.
If you don't feel that you can do this carefully by yourself, probably it will be a good idea to delegate this work to a professional.
Good luck!

Hello,
It's still sealed I hope, but the cover isn't aligned with the two other covers next to it. It's maybe 0.5mm higher than the others. Wonder how long the usb-seal will last.

Do you know how to remove the USB cover completely to fit in a new one? As it is attached to the phone with a plastic tubular like string.
Thank you.
No, sorry I do not. Looks like the phone has to be taken a part.
There is a youtube video that shows how to replace it on Experia S. I would think it's the same on Acro S.
Does Sony's Service Center offers a full case replacing for the Xperia acro S? I found some spare parts for it on the web but I was thinking if it is really in good quality. Also, does anybody here have tried replacing the whole case of the acro S?
Hello,
I'm a "happy" new owner of a Z1 compact with a now broken screen ...
No money ... so I checked youtube first, then ebay for a do-it-yourself repair (+xda ...) ...
I know now I should pay attention to many things (genuine assembly vs chinese copy, and so on ..., among which sticker and tools)
So, does anyone know a good OEM (chinese) assembly or a cheap genuine one ?
And in case, when buying an assembly, should I pay attention to the "frame" sold sometimes with it ?
Cheers to XDA people (my previous phone was a Sony Arc S modded thanks to Jader Rom ...)

I sent my phone back to Sony when the screen cracked and they fixed it under warranty. Depands what the screen break looks like I suppose. If it's obvious you droped it, then possibly they wont fix it. But mine was a single. very fine, crack running from left to right.
Sorry that didn't answer your question
@Didgesteve : thanks but ... your reply doesn't answer my question (my screen is cracked in 2 points (one long and really thin crack going from top to bottom + one close to the top left) ...
So ... I'm still looking for a cheap but good replacement to Do it myself + answer on the reason some assembly screens are sold with frame ...
Cheers !

I think xabzzz is looking for the actual glass, not screen protectors.
But a quick search on ebay reveals that they are easily available
You are right, when I overflow that thread it looked like it's not only screen protectors.
Anyway, here is the replacement part thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672194

Highly doubt it will fit.
Hi, here is the for the short story. I own a Z1 that I realy like. Since my teen son start to begging for a phone, I want to give him and get a new one for me. My Z1 have around 50000km on my motocycle dash, in sun, rain, snow, fog , got a few fall and one very rough and still like new. I bought it with that in mind, got attracted by the sealing doors and the magnetic cable to easy durable plug/unplug. I doubt usb would have survive.
Because of the above, I went naturally to the xperia line for my next phone since il will get in the same adventure. I have the Z5P in sight. There is few things that bug me and like to have you comments. Look like the magnet is not there and not clear that it is compatible with wireless charging that will be probably better. The usb plug is wide open but nothing that can be solve by a tape or aftermarket plug. The show stoper I have is the screen under sunligh. The Z1 was good, not exceptional but good and I had an homemade 3D sls printed cradle with a sun cap that helped. According to gsm arena, the Z5P is file way lower than the Z1 in sunlight view. Can the display constrast/luminosity be solve with some settings/custom roms without damaging the phone. Whit all that story in mind, I'd really like to have your comments an experiences shared with me. Thanks KK01
