Hello Xperia L user,, i went to the swimming pool last night and when i was recording the place,,suddenly water splashes into the back cover,charger(the entire outside part of the phone) .,,does this will short the lifetime of the hardware or the phone ?
Well, it wouldn't shorten the life of the hardware unless it is rusted.. You should remove the battery, and put the phone in a pot of dry rice to remove any amount of water that is stuck inside.. Do not use hair dryer or same kind of things

Hello all. I have a problem with the phone. Sony Xperia st23i I understand it miro. In general, the essence of this - the phone fell into the water and leaving it. You put the battery back - constant vibration. The same vibration when connected to a PC. When you insert the battery for a split second diode button cabin lights and all. Day 4 is a corpse. First aid in the form of drying has been provided. I have an idea about the constant vibration, jammed after water on the fly (Cap does not sleep in me). Who has the solution? And how do you think - carry it in for repair or itself can be dismantled ... Had to deal with repairs. Personally repaired motorola (c650, v3, v3i), nokia (n73, H70, 5530), sony errisson

Hi, so today I took my Sony Xperia Z3 into the bath with me today. The phone is quoted to be waterproof to 1.5m for 30 minutes. When I went into the shower, both flaps were secured and closed properly and I made sure that both the ports were completely covered. I don't bath for long periods of time, definitely not 30 minutes but the phone was still submerged. When I left the bath, both flaps were still secured and ports properly covered. However, roughly 10 minutes out of the shower, I went to plug in my headphones and suddenly the display on the phone started to fade. This has NEVER happened before. The screen began fading and eventually went black. I opened the flaps out and I did see a bit of water on the other side of the flaps. I believe that the device itself still works, because the phone vibrates from notifications and the LED indicator light still works. This phone is fairly new and this isn't the first time I've taken the phone and submerged it into my bath. However, this is the first time I've actually encountered the problem. I bought the phone in late May so there is still warranty on the phone (warranty up to a year). I called the store where I bought the phone but they told me SONY doesn't cover water damage. I've taken out the sim card and sd card and I've left the flaps open for a long time and still the display refuses to work. What should I do?
Hi there
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here
Sony Xperia Z3 Ask Away- help thread.
Good luck
Short story , yesterday my z5 felt in to water , i was washing something at the sink at it just felt . Took it from the water and surprisse somehow the water got inside even if the flap was closed and now i have some water drops on the camera lens, can't make calls with it without the handsfree and can't play music on stereo speakers because in the taskbar every 3 seconds a notification appears sayng that the headphones are conected then disconnected but on the headphones i can listen to music + the camera app doesn't recognise the front camera anymore. Thanks to the sd810 (heating source) some of the water from the camera is starting to go away. Is there something that i can do with it exept warranty (i don't have that) ? Exept the problems listed above the phone is working perfectly.
Shove it in a bowl of rice for a day or two. Somewhere warm, but not *hot*. Direct sunlight would be okay. Your goal is to evaporate/absorb the rest of the moisture out.

Well , thanks to the hot sd810 the water around the camera is gone and now the back camera, calling and speakers are working fine but the front camera is still not detected by the camera apps maybe it still has some water in that area and it will come back in a few days
It's a fairly bad idea to keep using electronics that you know water has penetrated. I wouldn't be surprised if the front camera doesn't come back, but even still I would recommend doing what I said in my first post.

droped my z1 and used it a lot of times in water , never tought that the z5 could get water damage by a simple splash . I'll leave it at the suntlight to see if the camera will come back. The flap was opened since the splash so the water could evaporate and get out
My phone is working good when used after being submerged in water but everytome i do this every time i get a notification saying that headphones are connected and disconnected for almost 10 mins then it works fine, my phone pass the pressure test perfectly, is this a common issues? I didn't used to have this problem with my old Xperia z1
I intentionally put my Z5 on water and have the same problems as yours, it is normal. Just dry it with a towel, make sure no water drops from the jack port, turn it off and on and done.
What flap?

I was going to ask the same thing until I remembered the SIM/microSD flap on the side.
Looks like i lost the front camera...guess i'll have to use the back one or the front one from the z1..happy that everyting else is working as new
Mine fell in pool. It had problems with audio jack and screen. I put it in the rice over night and problems were gone, but today after using it for about 4-5 hours the screen problem came back. It just became dark gray, without picture, so reset it few times. It shows the first Sony logo for 2 seconds and than becomes dark again. I put it back in rice. How much longer should I left it in?
Hi friends, today I was on the pool and I decided to make some videos underwater after that I cleaned the phone with clear water and after 10 minutes the screen doesnt react to my touches... The phone its in rice right now with the flaps are opened... Any suggestions to save it? ?

I turned it on and the screen it's working, but SIM Card not and when I lock the phone after a few minutes the phone turns off by itself...
Right now I'm on Linux ROM on locked bootloader, should I install stock ROM before send it to the Sony repair service?

Restore the phone to stock and send it to Sony, it may be a gamble if you have unlocked the bootloader before however. Make sure it doesn't die while restoring!

It doesnt really matter if it die or not its water damaged anyway.. They should replace or repair it

Depending on your repair center there could be charges
if it dies, in opinion, if under warranty, it would be good for you.
Lots of people have a waterdamaged Z3 after contact with water allthough it is advertised as a waterproof Phone ??
A friend of mine took it's Z3 to the pool to take some pictures in the water and killed the lcd after some pictures.
Not so waterproof after all.
In your case your motherboard got damaged, the motherboard probably gets so hot from the shortened components it shuts itself down. Is the back of the Phone really hot just before it powers off ?
Water itself doesn't kill your Phone, it is water in combination with courant.
The biggest fault most people make when there Phone had a contact with water is trying to power it back on to see if it is still working.
The Phone powers itself off to protect the motherboard from damage when it is short circuit by water.
By trying to power it back on immediatly after the waterdamage , you put courant on the shortened circuit and most likely burn out a component.
Best way to threat a Phone after waterdamage is to take it apart as far as possible and put the parts on a hot plate ( or other heat source) at about 55 degrees Celsius for half an hour.
Afterwards clean away the waterresidu with IPA and a toothbrush before re-assembling the Phone.

Hello Everyone,
I have had my Z5 with me since march 2016. But last week I have used my phone in the pool for few minutes under water and not more than 0.5 meters.
Unfortunately, and after taking the photos, the phone started to mess around and I have lost the LCD. I was able to use the digitizer to answer a call.
Later I have lost the digitizer. I have forced shutdown the phone and I have put the phone in Rice and Oats. Fortunately, the LCD came back to work and everything is just smooth except for the touch screen. I am currently using the OTG adapter and connected a mouse directly.
Isn't the Z5 waterproof? And why only the digitizer that had failed in the phone? Could it be some trapped moisture in the phone causing this issue?
Thank you for your help!

there is a limit to the water resistancy of a phone the Z5 is IP68 rated
http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/what-is-ip68-ip-ratings-explained
you can take a xperia upto half a meter of water for 30mins max, unfortionately you have to replace what you have damaged in your phone as it isnt covered by warrenty
Thank you, but in the specs they have mentioned IP68 with 1 meter for 30 minutes water tolerance. Anyhow, I have sent it to the supplier hopefully they can fix it. Sadly though, they should have stated clearly thet waterproofing is for a splash of water and not to be used under water. Z3 initial ad showed under water performance.
