Xperia Z speaker got damaged in water

[nizal_shar]

Hi

Have xperia z. I had liked to wash it in water several times and mobile phone worked great but today when I washed it in water properly closed all external covers as usual but my phone's speaker got damaged. I am very disappointed from sony. However I have got two xperia z mobiles one for me and one for my little brother. This is ridiculous having very expensive phones. But one of them got damaged in water. Now should I again get rid of sony mobiles again. So bad

I like washing my phone especially in front my friends to show off its capabilities.  However after today washing speaker felt weird.  Thank god I am not the only one experiencing this.. Shall wait a few days and see what happens. Thank you.

Try not to constantly wash the phone or rather cover the speaker with your thumb while you are 'showing off', its still a piece of technology after all, water and phones don't mix well. You shouldn't need to wait days for it to dry out, maybe perhaps a day in a warmer, dry climate, longer in others.

Goodluck

were you wearing leather thigh boots and a thong at the time :smileylaugh::smileylaugh::smileylaugh:

seriously dude - keep you mobile phone away from water - read the maual for cleaning instructions and they don't involve fairy liquid -

Yesterday I spilt some water over my phone by accident and the Damn loud speaker just went haywire. Shrill sounds and all that. I think its damaged no don't know what the hell to do!

How long did it take your phone to become normal again?

The first and only time I got my speaker wet it took only 4 hours to dry out. Some users are saying that it can take up to 4 days depending on the climate and how much water has actually settled inside the speaker area. There are a few things you can do to speed up the process as using a vacuum, hair dryer, rice and well...blowing on it lol

I haven't heard of anyone reporting shreeks and shrill sounds after being submerged, perhaps you've damage the phone somehow. you won't be able to tell untill it dries out suffeciently

Spilling just a little water and completely submerging the phone are very different.  Anywhooo I blowed into it lol but no luck. The speaker plays stuff but its not clear like 80% I can't understand it and 20% I can if the volume is on minimum lol. What about the rice?  I don't get that!

Plus the average trmp here is 29 degrees Celsius.

Sony Xperia Z's water resistance tested; lives up to IP57 certification

The speaker does sound muffled afterwards but it takes 1-2 hours to dry. A little blow and cleaning with tissues will do.

I bought the phone BECAUSE it's IP57 certified, which means you can wash it anytime. Lookup IP 57 certification.... Google is a friend

That was scary; phone took a freak wave at the beach. Rinsed it off, the phone was fine, but the speaker wasn't...I could hardly hear anything. Couldn't wait for it to dry out...so I used a hair dryer. Took a couple of minutes...but it's all back to normal now. Thank god for that.
