Thanks for this. I'm pretty sure sooner or later there will be some people who need to get replacements.
Update with more info. . .
Another site with spareparts is here:
http://stellatech.com/articles.php?lang=en&cid=10710
I've ordered some adhesives from them (as my screen is coming off after being replaced in service ).
thanks, updated list. Some of their prices are cheaper but some not. great find tho
does the black glass cover come with the Xperia logo on the back? as it doesnt show it on witrigs.
also if i remove the ASF layer from the glass back is the xperia logo on the ASF same as Sony is on the front screen?
Never mind just watched the video comparing the two and the Xperia is on the glass NOT the ASF :victory:
why couldn't Sony put the bloody SONY logo on the front glass instead of the ASF!?
Would be awesome if we could buy an OEM replacement front screen glass with the SONY logo on the glass not the ASF, or better yet... an OEM replacement with the logo and just glass - no ASF.
great stuff thank you
one question i have a z1s would this basically be the same steps?

should be the same. Z1C = Z1s Chinese = Z1f Japan
Hello!
Hello I just want to know, is it possible to change the whole housing of Z1C without damaging the LCD? I mean like, I own a White Z1C and I want to change to black housing..?
Yes, it's doable. You basically need 3 parts, plus a lot of double sided adhesive tape (original).

3 Parts? Not 4? Sorry I don't quite understand, as I thought there will be back cover, back panel, middle frame & front lcd supporting panel.
Middle frame and the plastic part sustaining the panel are being sold as one. You will need the sim/usb/SD covers as well
Hey guys,
i need to replace my ear piece speaker mesh, can i just buy the speaker mesh and replace it or am i going to have to replace all of the adhesive strips and pull my phone phone apart completely?
Done a bit more research and if im right all i need to do is pry the screen off replace the ear peice mesh and then the screen adhesive and then put the screen back on?
Ive pulled apart and put back together many phones just not waterproof phones so am assuming i need to place any adhesive thats even remotely involved in the repair

hi folks
I cracked my bottom speaker grill. Many resellers have it
http://rounded.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-deco-cover-black-for-speaker-grill.html
but how it's hooked to the main frame? If it's simple it's definetely a go, if I have to disassembly the whole phone is definitely a no-go thanks, no teardown video was useful for now
Hi,
I need to replace the GPS antenna of my Z1C.

Thanks

Found a solution? Trying to do the same thing
Hi guys,
Does any one own the SCR44 Style cover for the Z5C and also own a Z3C?
I'm curious if it will fit and function as the phones are basically identical in size.
Thanks!!
I have the cover and a friend has a z3c.
..maybe i can try it this evening.
It probably doesn't. The curvature of the edges is different, The Z5C has flatter edges. Also, the camera is in a different location.
NFC cant find the cover.
..But it fits pretty well
The light and the top microphone are covered.
Thanks for checking Copelandian!
What a shame NFC doesn't detect it and that Sony couldn't of designed it like this in the first place instead of those cheap as f*** versions that preceded this one..
Hello. My new Xperia Z5 seems to be working great so far.
I noticed that the back panel is slightly lifted on the top right corner to the point where you cannot feel where it meets the plastic side. If you push it down, you can feel where it meets the rim but after a while it returns to its normal position.
There also a noticeable gap on the left side and top left where dust seems to get in. The rest of the panel seems to fit fine.
Is anyone else having these problems? I'm mainly worried about it affecting the waterproofing.
Thanks.
i had that issue with my xperia Z2 but not with the Z5 that i own now...but i have a bright white spot on my screen and it appeared few days ago LOL going to sony service ASAP

Did it cause any problems? Waterproofing etc.
well i went in the water for about 30 min and i can tell u it worked till 30 mins and then the screen started to flicker and went emediatly out of water cuz it would break of course. i had water inside the phone so i had to dry it on the sun... so i think it can cause problems if u ask me...but at the end i wouldnt recomend u submerging the phone or geting it wet cuz its not made for that...its made for sudden drops in the water and thats mostly it!!hope i cleared ur mind
Hello guys, I have an Xperia Z2 running CM12.1. My phone for about 2 months has started doing these random touches on the keyboard, navigation bar etc. It mostly happens when I have moist fingers/sweaty (my fingers are moist nearly all the time), I don't think this is the issue here since I had an HTC One M7 before it and it was working perfectly in any conditions except if I drop water on it. I also would like to mention that I have a garbage tempered glass that is always dirty, sticky and just plain bad. I had a better one on the M7. I just wanted to know if the tempered glass is the problem here before I do anything. Can changing screen sensitivity or something fix it? I'm up for any external mods to fix this issue as it makes the phone quite unusable when my fingers are sweaty. Thanks in advance.
I am using Xperia Z5 Compact. for 6 months. There is serious green reflective shadow from my lens taken in front of sunlight. Is that normal? I am sure the UV film protector still exists. Anyone have the same problem? Thanks.
