Random headphones notifications after phone contact with water ? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
i noticed that after dropping my Z5 in water or even try to clean it with some water , I keep getting the headphones connected
and headphones disconnected notification .
after that I need to make sure that head phones port is dry and try connecting and disconnecting my headphones several times
to fix the problem
I wonder if other Z5 user have same problem ? and if that's normal ?

Others with any Z phone have experienced this. Water in the headphone jack causes this sometimes. Ensure it is completely dry and the issue should resolve itself.

Yeah, it happened to me 2 days ago. Only lasted about 10 mins after I dried the jack out with paper towel.

Nexus 5 Got Wet

So yesterday, while I was getting out of my car, I dropped my Nexus 5 into a puddle of water, about 1-3 inches deep. I immediately picked it up, dried it and all and it worked fine. One problem though was that it was behaving as if I had a headset connected to it and I couldn't hear any sound from the speaker at the bottom. Eventually, I stuck a piece of thin tissue and cleaned out any excess water in there and booted it off and back on and it worked like a charm. Now my one problem is that the speaker sounds muffled. Is there a way that maybe I can fix this?
Stick in a bag of rice for two days, don't turn it on. You're lucky it isn't fried already

[Q] Nexus 5 got wet

Hey,
Yesterday my pants got wet a little bit and the phone was in my pocket. Immediately I took it out and saw it wasn't wet.
I got home, connected to the charger and went to sleep. When I woke up I noticed then phone wasn't charged at all.
During the day I noticed other problems: The phone discharges faster than before, my PC won't recognize the phone via USB and charging the phone is problematic since I have to "play" with the charger (the battery discharges even when the charger is plugged in).
My question is what should I do next? Should I stop using it completely? I mean, ,maybe it got wet, but I didn't drop it into the toilet or a puddle.
Thank you.
The worst thing to do with a wet phone is allow electricity to run through it, be that charging or simply leaving it on. Water is conductive so as well as erosion, its also bridging connections between components that shouldn't be connected - causing short circuits.
If it got wet, chances are its a gonna

Why would you charge a wet device

Chances are the damage is done. Spending money trying to fix a water damaged device often ends up in wasted money, as you fix one thing only to find something else doesn't work.
Unfortunately, it's probably best to move on. Sorry. ?
I opened the phone and there is not sign of corrosion. It's probably just the charging port (coincidence?)

I usually don't respond to wet phone threads because they're usually toast if they got wet. But you're not going to see corrosion. Like rootsu said water is a good conductor of electricity and components that shouldn't be connected get connected when they get wet. It may be the charging port and then again out may not be. Best to chalk it up to a bad accident and start saving for new device

Touchscreen isn't working after being in a pool

Hi,
Earlier today I was in the pool, I grabbed my Z3 and started taking pictures. (of course I checked twice that all the flaps are closed).
After 10 minutes, I put the device on the table near the pool to dry.
I went out for watching the pictures but I was surprised to find out that the device doesn't recognize my touchs.
I already tried restarting the device using the power + volume up buttons, but I can't see any change.
Important to mention that all the buttons work well, the same goes for the speakers, the microphone, the light sensor, LED light etc.
Do you have any idea what should I do?
Thanks and sorry about my grammer mistakes.
I got quite the panic attack the first time I experienced the same thing. For me waiting a while worked, and it came back to life. I still have trouble a couple of hours after soaking it when it comes to sound, though. Sometimes it thinks that I have a jack connected, for instance. I'm guessing you just have to wait for it to dry properly.

same as me! It also thought I connected my headset, for some reason.
when you waited a while, the device was turned-off or on?
I never turned it off. Might be a good idea to try to connect a useless headsets jack (I take no responsibility for whatever might happen though. I have no good concept of whether this might be a bad idea or not) to try to clean it.

I have connected a headset already and it worked fine. I will let the phone to dry until tomorrow.
Very strange. I get my phone wet a lot and never had any issue. Of course touch does not work well when phone and hands are wet. But after a couple of minutes, it is good to go.
If your phone stops working properly after being immersed in water then it is defective and water got inside of it. Bring it to a service center, they will test it and if they find a leak with flaps closed they will replace under warranty.
I've immersed mine in water a few times and I never had any problem (not pool, mostly in the sink for cleaning purposes and to test the waterproofing). If water goes and stays into the headphone jack the phone will detect headphones, but you just have to blow the water out of it or shake it a bit to get the water out. Underwater the screen will not work and it will detect fake touches if a lot of water is still on the screen, but it should work perfectly as soon as you dry it with a towel or something.
If you experience a malfunction after drying up your phone with a towel and getting residual water out of the jack then water got inside and you should get it replaced ASAP. It doesn't need any drying period, drying it with a towel is enough.

z5 Premium Headphone jack

Stopped working. I may have gotten sea water in it. Suggestions?

I have the same issue on my XZ5 and waiting a call back from Sony Repair Center as I did not do something which can damage the 3.5mm jack port...
Very bizarre
i had the same problem with my z1 and i found out that there was some cotton inside it , i removed it worked without a problem
Well i tried to "Clean" mine, now it complete is dead. I used a light wire brush. Sony said I had to send it in for 14 day turn around. Think I'll just use Bluetooth

Z5 Water Damage

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?
