Hey!
Is anybody of you guys able to move the magnetic port with your fingernails? Like up and down horizontally.
No. That is not normal, I suggest you take it back to get fixed.

Well, it's just a minimal bit. My mothers z1 does that aswell.
I don't think thats normal, mine is solidly in place.
If it moves, probably your phone is no longer waterproof.
Mine moves a bit too and it's still waterproof.
Possible to hide root to send in for warranty?

Mine moves a little too, still waterproof. The same with my z3 tablet compact.

Hello everyone,
my Photon Q fell two days ago and since nothing really happened except that the slider mechanism feels more lose than before, I wanted to ask you guys if 1) with your phone it is the same or 2) do you have an idea how to make it "tight" again?
I opened the phone but couldn't really find out what causes this gap on the left side (when the phone is closed and you are looking at the front). Even it's cosmetic (for some ) it bugs me a lot
Thanks
I've got the same issue, but I thought it could be an issue caused by a fall of the Photon Q.

Mine has been like this since day one. Thought it was just crappy manufacturing. MUCH more loose compared to my old Epic4g

You probably should have exchanged it then. It's likely yours was dropped during shipping or by someone in the Sprint store.

Yes, I think so too. Before the drop it fit nicely...Hmm...but noone knows what to do to get it like that again?

I'm not experienced in hardware repair or mods, but if you can separate the two parts of the phone it looks like it has a single hinge with two rails for the slide mechanism. I don't think those would be damaged based on your pictures but there are also two pieces of metal, one on each side of the display connector. My bet would be that one of those got dented. The two pieces seem to be used as a stopping point for the slide as well as distancing/orienting the display.

Nah, Im less than thrilled with this phone, I hope it dies soon and I'll switch models. I love having a slider but there are too many disappointments with this one looks like I'll have to go with an S3 or S4.

Congratulations. You came to say that you don't like this phone and happened to bring nothing to this conversation. We won't miss you.

Thanks, Solust, for your ideas. I've been thinking the same. I inspected both of them, when I opened the phone and one felt a little lose. Not as lose as the upper part of the phone feels now, though. Can you confirm that it are those things you were mentioning?

At this point I do think it is beyond me and I'm a bit surprised someone more familiar with hardware hasn't stepped in yet. Might be worth a try PMing someone involved in the SIM mod.
The two metal pieces I was thinking of are on the keyboard portion of the phone. On the back of the display portion they create a mild groove the same size as the groove for the rails. One groove is left halfway up the phone and the other between that groove and the top of the phone. When the phone is together the display cable fits perfectly between them.
I'm sorry, all I can really do is speculate. I really don't know enough about this sort of thing. I may be mistaken as to what these parts are.

I think it is pretty impossible to fix a dent in the hinge, right? But would that http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-PH...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20d0b14dc6 fix my problems?
^ I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. My Q is suffering from the very same problem, though I got over it quite a while ago since it's kind of a 'minor' issue I actually have the same exact part sitting on my desk right now, my listing on eBay to sell it just ended haha. I could test it out for you, if you really would like to know.

Haha, interesting I'm not so sure either, but I'm eager to do it lol. Hence I bought this yesterday night, although I'm not even sure how this hinge is fixed on the phone (glue etc?). I'd sure like to know how u fare, fella!^^

Hey there!
Ive bought this Device 4 weeks ago. It was perfectly fine until now as the usb flap seems to not close properly anymore by charging etc. What can I do? It already got ripped off once but I've replaced it with a new one.

Might affect the waterproof feature. Return it and get a magnetic charger.
They wont let me return it. Just for repair and I need this phone for work

If it's faulty I don't see how they can refuse to let you return it. It's not up to them!
Is the frame bent?

Easy - if it's a user-caused physical damage, most companies will refuse any returns and will only offer a repair . With the flap torn off or deformed to the point it can't close anymore, the company can NEVER be sure whether it was due to manufacturing defect OR because the user applied too much force when opening it, so for the company it's just safer to assume that it was a user-caused physical damage.

What can you do? Basically, 2 things. Either rip the flap off if you don't NEED waterproof feature and continue using the microUSB cable for charging OR put a new flap and use a different charging cable, not microUSB but the one with magnet which can attach to the side "port" with exposed "pins", this way you will NEVER have to open the flap for charging. Or! Or find a different phone which can be both waterproof AND has wireless charging, these do exist, Samsung makes one It will have plastic body but hey, if your phone is a work tool and NOT just a toy for impressing your simple-minded "friends" with - plastic body is actually the better choice

They can assume what they want. I'd expect a flap to last more than 4 weeks and, personally, I'd pursue it and see what they say rather than just assuming.
Well, the problem is, that I already exchanged the flap with a new one because the old one just came off after 3 days of usage. Even then they refused as it is a damage which they thought was caused by mishandling the phone. I really care bout my things and handle them correctly, especially if its such a fragile device like the Z3 is. The first thing I did when I got it is drive to the city and buy an Adore June Soft case and I have no scratches or anything until now(no screen protector but i am thinking of that). So it wasn't my fault that it came off once in my eyes. It's just that it seems that there is a "left over" from the old flap inside the phone which means the new one doesn't fit correctly, sometimes it does sometimes it does not.
What shall I do if they just refuse it..
This is really frustrating bought a new one and even a NEEDLE thin tweezer to dig the bit inside the phone out. No way to get it out or anything near by that. Tried to put the new one in and guess what? It got stuck a bit so I had to turn it around and it snapped off! Now I have two of those **** things in side there. What to do? Send it to Sony? How much does that cost..?
Dude, just send it to Sony before you make even more scratches around the flap area with your tools. Or find a local smartphone repair shop (which can fix all smartphone models), they should be able to properly attach it for much cheaper price than Sony might charge you.
And like I mentioned before - consider using a cable which attaches to side "port" with magnet (it's called "Magnector" or whatever), OR switch to a different phone model from different manufacturer which doesn't require removing any flaps for charging. Then wait for brain-dead Sony "engineers" to release a proper carrier-free model with built-in wireless charging (like they did for Verizon), hopefully all of Z4 models will have that...

yes this problem is facing me in my z3 Dual D6633 after relative 2 Months ago
I am guessing not all markets get an extra one in the box. I have the T-Mobile version and mine has an extra one in the box.
Hi guys!
I've got a brand new Z3 for christmas and I do have a strage problem.
It's the screen underlight comming out of the edge of my screen near lanyard hole. And now I see it appears also on the counter side... 3 times smaller but it is.
I'm uploading pics so you can see what I mean.
Have anyone the same problem?
Do I need do return my phone?
Is my phone waterproof?
P.S.
I have Z1 until now and I don't have such a problem...
I have had lcd backlight leak like that before, exchanged 2 units for it but both were still waterproof. Best way to test is type in the dialer *#*#7378423#*#* and go into pressure test, press the screen a little with all flaps closed and see if pressure changes. If it's not waterproof pressure won't change.
Thank you!
It's working. Pressure changes with flaps closed and don't with opened.
So the last question:
It's only my will to exchange it or not?
Best regards,
Karol

I have the prob too...i guess if its not a major one then i'll just ignore it...
Just don't the pressure sensor test and it starts around 118 then when I apply pressure it goes tocabout 122 then quickly goes back to 118 does this mean my z3 is water tight lol
Sorry just not sure if it's meant to stay around 122 till I realise the pressure
Thanks

I dont know but I also have light leaking in right in the bottom (front side) (not corner), and also a super tiny light beside the speaker, like 18 mm to the right of the bottom speaker, but I've tested it by pouring like 10 big drops of water on the screen, by my fingers, created like 2.2 cm in diameter of water and starts to tilt my phone at every side.. And my phone is still working like it should be.

edit : i dont know if ive seen this one at first time when i buy this phone, but ive just noticed in like few days ago until now that the left side also has bleed, the light leak is as long as the phone but ive also tried to drop some water and everything still works the way it should be
Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.

That happens with MacBook too! I mean thats electrical discharge / leakage. Thats pretty normal. You might get a minor shock if you lick the metallic contacts or if the same comes in contact with your sensitive areas like elbow, belly and below that
Relax!

Same happens on my OP3, but it stopped after few months randomly. I think you shouldn't get the replacament unit, or at least i didn't because i don't live in a country that oneplus is officially selling devices, if you do and it's not much pida, go ahead, but you might get the same resultl lol
