Hello guys,
I'm from Brazil and here we still don't have the new Xperia Z, but I bought one in Europe and now I have a problem.
I really don't know how, but the glass on the back is cracked. It's on the inferior left corner.
The problem is that now I'm not able to use it without looking this crack.
Is there any place that has this glass??? I don't think it's easy to change it because it's waterproof, so I guess it's not that easy.
Sorry for my bad english, but I really need help of you guys.
Thank you

It's easy to change, the back part is just glued to the front part, there was a video that showed that you can remove the back part just by heating up the back part.
But I don't know where you can buy spare parts I think it will be expensive though.
Here is the disassemble video:

I don't hope it was because of some heat source from the phone itself. That would mean trouble for all of us.

I don't understand do you use the back of your phone a lot?
Same here. I am from Viet Nam. And my Black Glass screen - FRONT SCREEN is broken from hear speaker to left size of the screen. Now i can use this phone Normally but anything i have is half touchscreen. So Harder to control it .....

He might not, but I can imagine that it's annoying when you know that there is a crack on the back.
Same as when you do a test to see if there are dead pixels, you see some, but you only see them when you do the test, many people might be annoyed by the fact that there are dead pixels.

I'd understand if it was on the front, but this is on the back, and for some reason, when there's nothing wrong the front he feels he has to look at the back?

Yes, I saw it, thanks for that, but it's out of stock..... unfortunately
between you and me.
Glass of the phone is "piece of s_h_i_t". Annoying and "unlimited" finger prints makes this phone looks like $200 Chinese copy.
Plus another problem with screen cracks like on Nexus 4.
Great job keep it up :silly:
Another Broken Class
Yes same here, my back glass cracked...... Its was in my pocket then I pulled my phone out and put it on a leather couch, within seconds I heard a "Tick" I picked up my phone and the glass had cracked.
Hot in the pocket and cold leather couch made this glass crack. also happened to my wifes phone 20mins ago when she put it on the kitchen bench.... that's what made me write this to this thread.
Massive fault with this phone. Totally ruined the IP rating now which was the reason why I brought this phone. And there is no where selling replacements of glass yet.

The glass/quality of the phone is ****ty garbage. Because is getting dirty/dust so easy + hard to clean.
Totally when the phone is dirty it looks like a Chinese copy.

same issue is with i hav given my phone in service center they are annoying that it was a physical damage but after request they accepted the phone said that there is no scracth and pressure on it we send this phone to there head office in the research team in manufacturing plant they will check the phone heather it was external damage or itself hell this time sony customer service is very poor in the custumers service apple and samsung are vry good aplle was best in case of customer service i left my phone on charging overnight more than 9 hours dont knon when the glass is broken when i wake up and remove my phone the back glas is broken a hair line type crack is there from top to bottom edge to edge it was not noticable but it was broken hell this time with the sony poor customer service even the service center talk rudly what can we do the its not tough as steel sony was clamig that it was the toughest phone in the market and all ....
This could be a serious problem that could affect all devices, I always charge the phone at night, stays that way like 7-10 hours, I didn't thought that it could crack when the temperature varies. Not cool SONY!
Wow, this topic got me worried a lot.
After having a look at this video I tought it would be strong:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o3yMw2L3tJA
As that guy sure is smacking the phone all over the place without any damage left to the phone.
I think your problem must have something to do with heat when charging.
But that should not be a problem as this phone is also "snow proof".
Taking it from the snow to inside should make it crack aswell then?
Sure hope you guys get your phones fixed soon.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Hello guys
to sum it up i have the Xperia Z in black. I have a sticker on it covering everything except the black lines on the sides of the phone on each side of the flaps. So the bits where it is black rubbery plastic. So i had the phone in my jacket like an idiot and normally i have a pocket i keep the phone in ususally. However yestarday i had forgotten the pocket and was carrying the phone in my jacket when i decided to take off my headset and by doing that forgot to zip up the jacket and the phone fell off top first onto concrete.
Phone works perfectly screen or any glass is not damaged at all the only damage were 2 small dents on both sides of the top of the phone. So the rubbery plastic top righ. One is near the music jack and the other one above the USB port.
So my question is since i screwed it up warranty is obviously bull****. My q is would there be any way to repair this. As in paint marker or anything that might cover it up? (except for a backplate protector or snap in ) hate all of those.
Obviously goes without saying all help would greaty be appreciated and used to reinstate my inner tranquility.
Best Regards

They have many different models i just got this one. These guys are amazing in bringing out good things i had one of those on ipod 4 used it 8 months than sold the ipod never had problems with the skin.
xperia z
is there a factory screen protector on the back of xperia z, as there is on the front. I scratched the back of the Xperia z. And if there is no screen protector back, is there a possibility of polishing
I did the same thing. I was so in love with the screen I didn't think to check out how scratch resistive the rear panel was until I had let it get sl gouged to all hell
Mines missing both the USB and heaphone flaps, front and back are cracked, there is virtually nothing left of the plastic around the outside and the bottom face is missing the sticker that has the barcode and such on...
Makes me laugh when people worry about little marks
No one appears to have asked something this specific so here goes.
Conveniently I cracked the glass back of my Xperia Z1; and was just curious as to how a crack here will affect how waterproof it is.
I assume it's no good now, however I would like to confirm, particularly with anyone who has pulled one apart.
Will be calling Sony tomorrow to try sort this out too.
Cheers guys.

Sorry for the delay, had to find something to take a photo with, and a decent light source.
I bumped it off a table onto a wooden floor, don't mind forking out some cash for repairs though (just not sure if I can cope with not having my phone for a few days, sorta need it for work).
I have also emailed Sony, but I don't think I'll get a reply until tomorrow.

are you sure the glass panel is cracked ? or it is the crack on sheet above it ?
I didn't know the sheet above could crack the way this did, unless it scratched on something when it fell. I don't particularly want to take the ASF off as I've heard it voids warranty, however you have got me thinking, it does look like just the film on top.
It'd be nice if Sony sold replacement films.
heey guys i had an accident recently on my moped (i'm glad im still alive) but now my phone's aluminium casing (from the phone itself) is bent and now i am concernd about the waterproof function since it is a big gap
the whole right corner is a few mm lower than normal because i hit a curb
im from holland overijssel does anybody know how to fix this or where to send my phone to?
That's a damage from high! ..lol.. and Yes, I will be worried about waterproofness, not for the frame but for the flap. I will absolutely do not put your phone under water.

Woo guys pls help I'm getting enough money from my insurance for a xperia z2 should I get one??
Since my frame is bent and my back glass is broken I really have to replace them as the dust got between back glass and the camera rendering camera with flash useless.
I'm thinking about replacing it myself, but I'm worried if it's still going to be waterproof after I replace it.
Have any of you guys replaced the back glass by yourself? How's the waterproofness after you did that?
Water resistence will be gone for sure and back glass wont stick for long.time to time you have to push it back.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm talking about replacing it. Both bent frame and back glass. Have you done this?
No, they will keep the water-proof capablility of the phone. First they will replace the back, remove all the old glue and rubber gasket then replace all with new glue, etc...then use high compression machine press the back cover tight to the glue. Atleast that is the process of replace back cover in my local Sony center, not sure it's applied to all....And after repair they will allow you to put the phone into water to test...

My adhesive on the back just completely stopped holding the back glass. I can take it out by shaking the device a bit or even by picking it up. I'll be sending it for the repairs...
No more Z1 development, really.

Yeah. The worst thing is that I have to ship the phone on my own. I mean wrapping, talking with DHL and stuff like that to get it to authorised sony service ... -_-
Good thing is that although I'll pay a lot for the replacement of the frame and the back it will be waterproof again.
I'll send it in this weekend or at the begging of the next week.
If anyone would be interested in the state of my Z1 then here's what's wrong with it:
USB flap fell off again.
Back glass is broken
Main frame is bent
Middle frame is cracked
To fix it I'd have to buy:
Glue for middle frame, main frame
Back glass
USB flap
Middle frame
I'll propably fix it myself becaus the cost of doing this in the service would be propably as high as a new Z1. Too bad I'm not rich so I can't buy those parts yet.
If anyone is interested then I finally made pictures of my phone. At least the screen and the electronic hardware is allright.

I only had Xperia Play apart from Z1, flashed xperia S just few days ago, lol ^^
I didn't test it myself, but if you buy a genuine back glass assembly (that includes glue, you can buy this from, for example www.witrigs.com) and replace it properly, wait a week or so for the glue to align and stick properly it should still be waterproof. I did replace almost every part of my Z1, that is camera, back microphone, back glass - 2 times, minijack with proximity sensor, battery, main frame with all the buttons and flaps, speaker mesh and propably something else I don't really remember anymore. It doesn't matter anyway, what matters here is that if you replace middle frame - take close attention to the speaker mesh hole - the one from a phone has some sort of a gasket there, whereas the replacement one - doesn't and you can't really buy it separately. I bought the middle frame assembly from witrigs and it was also missing that gasket. Also, speaker mesh from witrigs is different from the one that was in the phone. These parts render my phone not waterproof anymore and I don't think you can buy replacements for it that would still make the phone waterproof, even if replaced with surgically perfect precision.
TL;DR
Back glass assembly (complete genuine replacement part with glue, nfc, camera etc. already on it) replacement, if done properly, may not cause your phone to lose it's waterproofness. At least from my experience.
Replacing main frame and speaker mesh, even new genuine will void it. Not because there were some mistakes in replacing them, they simply don't have all of the elements that the parts originally shipped with a new phone have. Replacing them will definitely remove its waterproofness. (with all parts from witrigs.com, that is very trusted to ship genuine, new replacement parts.
Just posting this so people googling around could find the answer.

Consider yourself lucky man, with the s**t digitisers we had on the nexus 4 any crack in the glass above the screen would result in an unusable touch panel. I understand that cracked glass is never a good thing but at least you can still use the device!
I don't want to sound like a d**k but the purpose of Gorilla Glass 3 is scratch protection, not drop protection. Moto just released a shatterproof phone for that if I'm not wrong.
Hard glass on unprotected edges is always gonna break.

Well I can still use the device but I will replace all the front side:

I don't like the black at all but that's what I have right now so I need to get used to it.
I hope I will be able to get along with the phone for one more year and then probably I'll replace it.
Right now he works really good.
It took the engineer to replace the broken screen with a new one about one hour and he always mumbled bad things about Motorola and how they build their phones.
He tried to put the back bamboo case to it's place and failed many times because the glue just won't work..
He told me to wait some time so the glue would get sticky to the phone itself.
Next time, I will buy a phone that have wider support in my country, make sure I have a flip case from the very beginning and make sure that you can unplug the battery from the phone.
That phone is awesome but has a quite long list of disadvantages...

Awesome that you could already have it serviced!
I see your point though, and I understand that in this thriving "free" market we can only choose the best compromise for our needs. I wouldn't buy a LG just for the removable battery and the repair support, but I can totally see why it looks like a viable choice for you right now.
As much as I like this phone, glue never looks like a good solution for pieces that are gonna be serviced sooner or later... As for the screen assembly, well, I guess every manufacturer now makes the digitiser and glass into one single part.
That being said, enjoy your moto and keep it for a while
