Im really mad at this , my xperia z3 magnetic port loose after a use of 2 weeks with the charging dock , thats mean im loosing waterproof , any solid fix for that ? a glue or something ? sony doesnt respond for that kind of ''issues'' ... **** sony
Just today I started noticing issues on my magnetic connecter/port, and have started to look around. The only information I've found so far is about how Sony isn't really covering this in a manner we'd expect.
*Edit* I do see that several people seem to be gluing the port back in. Not sure if anyone has had more success with Sony or their Vendor. I may, myself, contact T-Mobile at least before I try anything myself.
Mine has been fixed under warranty by UK Sony.
Unfortunately, it came out second time as well.
The problem is the magtron x2. - DO NOT BUY THAT!
Apparently, I am looking for a glue to do the job for myself…
I could send the phone back but that would be the longest solution…

Too strong magnet
the adhesive I've seen recommended is sikaflex 291, which is on amazon - it's a marine sealant apparently
just to add that the black magnetic connectors seem so much harder to find for the Z3 than the white ones, although a german retailer called handyersatzteilshop.de seems to have them, and they ship internationally
I think this could be good for the job. What do u think?

seems to tick a lot of boxes, although one or two others had temperature ranges included as part of the sales pitch - I've used that stuff before for general purposes to be honest, and it's quite fluid - when the connector falls out is there any indication as to how the original glue was applied by sony, and is there much risk of the replacement glue seeping into the rest of the phone?

I'm not sure if it would but if it's liquid then it might be hard to cover all holes for water entry. I used a clay adhesive and though it was hard to apply because the area is small, it did a great job of sealing my magnetic port so that I can still have water proof on the device and the port is very strong now.

Do you have a link to the stuff what you exactly used?
Sounds good to me.
Btw,
On Ebay there is a magnetic connector for 6pounds and I have been told that ir has the adhevies layer as well. So might better to buy that.

Well, I see your points.
The original glue like a 1mm thin rubber layer on the connector…

Water proof Gorilla Epoxy works wonders, used it to fix the LCD to my LG G2 after a screen replacement, it has a 3200 psi rating.

Are y'all yanking out the magnetic charger thing straight out? I usually just snap it off to the side so that I don't apply so much force to the charger port.

That's what I have been doing, I'm very careful with this because I know that there will be an issue of this yet no matter how careful i was it just went loose
Sent from my SGP621 using XDA Free mobile app
Well if that is the case I'm a little more worried. I love the phone so far but a these little build quality things and the fact that I can't get root yet (6613) is really starting to add up.

Is that easy to apply. I mean the area is tiny and does it make it waterproof?
i just bought a new connector.
What should I use to clean the socket for the connector before I glue it?

You have to mix the epoxy and apply, it's a bit thick and gooey but you can still easily get the required amount. I used a small metal tab to get my G2s LCD fixed in place, as you know the G2 has a tiny bezel, if I used too much it would have gone into the LCD layers, but I avoided that.
sisqoboy, did you manage to fit the replacement connector, and any tips?
Hi there just been using my exynos note 4 for a few days now...love it. And the battery is good for a stock. But I am now investigating if there is any good other options and if anyone's found any good ones? Zero lemon looks like a brick so really don't want that. Hyperion I can't buy as I'm not in the US . I was wondering also if any of the bigger batteries fitted in the nice cases like spigens? That type of thing? I know the fast charge is a nice feature too maybe I could even use that suppose but a little more juice would be great!
I got the zero lemon and i love it ill take the size for the battery life anyday
---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
And it charges pretty fast to buy you have to turn off the fast charging or it will mess it up over time

Hyperion gives you that battery life AND doesn't make your phone into a brick. Sometimes I don't realize I'm using an extended battery, looks great!
Isn't it like 8500msh?

you have this battery? Will an otterbox type case fit with this battery and cover?
Its about twice as think as the stock one so i dint think it will without modding the case

too thick for an otterbox
i actually have an ashield but im assuming it wont fit that either.
Unfortunately I'm outside the US and I have not found a way to buy the hyperion yet. And I don't want to wait for my uncle coming in May from Chicago . My ideal would be spigen neo metal case and maybe the anker 6500 if it would fit but I'm thinking it won't ...also thinking that hyperion doesn't protect the sides as well...
Can you get a zerolemon?

I had a zero on my s3 but that 10000mah note 4 one is way too big for me unfortunately.
Hmmm just seen spigen neo cases supposedly scratch the metal on sides of note 4 too argh...So weird how no one makes a spigen type case with an extended battery in it. Hyperion is the best looking but still not amazing and no sides to it ...still searching...
Hello,
I've been looking for an accessory such as this for a long time. Basically, a battery case that is also a flip cover (book style) wallet case.
The closest I could find is this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Ba...sr=8-2&keywords=mtp+battery+case+s6+edge+plus
The only problem with that one is that it has no card location. One card slot would be awesome. I would buy the hell out of it.
Do you guys know if any other such as the above, but with a card slot too, exists?
Thank you.
Look at this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013...L65&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s6+edge+plus+case
---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
Oh sorry you said battery case. That one has no battery just case and card slot
Shameless bump. Please help out if you know anything.
I cracked my rear camera glass cover. Is it sold separately or do i need to replace the entire camera unit? Any recommendations for moto g3 or generic phone repair kit?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-MOTOROLA-MOTO-G-2015-3RD-GEN-XT1548-MID-FRAME-CAMERA-LENS-HOUSING-/131687092483 Use some heat to remove the new one from the frame and heat up yours while not getting glass on the sensor on yours. Or just use the whole new subframe.
does it affect the picture? if not, leave it alone.

crazy motorola. i have to buy the entire housing. there's a cheaper silver one. retarded design. Can i use a heat gun without taking the phone apart? I don't see how it's possible. I can't even pry the stupid accent off.

if glass breaks then replace it - don't touch it until it does. But buy the phone suggested above for the spare part.
Looking closely at it I would guess you would have to take everything apart to get at it. You can experiment with the replacement phone.

i don't feel like experimenting. don't want to make things worse. thought i could just replace the glass like in all normal phones.
my bet is that the glass is a mm or 2 larger than the opening

part way down they remove the camera. It looks like the glass is part of the camera - ie sealed when camera is made.

there's a few of these on fleabay. You'll probably need a cheap heat gun to get the screen off.http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motorol...443701?hash=item3f772e02b5:g:fKAAAOSwsW9YwHT3

yeah probably plastic. I was very careful when I removed it so just pressed it back on. My case would keep it from falling off if loose. Do not impart any bend to it or it won't lie flat.

Ok let's start out by saying I work as a mechanic so my phone get put through hell from being dropped regularly to bring splashed with oil and greese and some brake cleaner from time to time... So far this case has held up to all of it...
Pros:
*Case is light weight for the most part
*Wireless charging works flawlessly unlike other cases I've used
*The sound port to make speakers front firing is amazing great sound
*Great protection for the phone
*Magnetic phone mounts work great as well (if you position the plate correctly you can keep wireless charging as well)
Cons:
*Can be difficult to install the first time but after that no issues at all
The cases feels great in the hands and fits the pixel 4 xl perfectly... The lip to protect the screen isnt to bad I personally thought it would bug me
but its not to noticable.... I would recommend this case to anyone looking to get a case for there pixel...
Too bulky for my taste, makes the phone look like you're carrying a brick. Much better cases out there for example the below.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XLNB6RN/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_98P2Db0MFFX98
I think this will offer equal protection in a thiner profile.
I went with a trusted brand that I always use and have never had damage from a drop with any phone I have put into their case : https://www.tech21.com/en_us/protection/google/pixel-4-xl
