Just went for a swim with my z1. Snapped a few under water pic. Everything's Ok until I got back home. Noticed my phone will like soft reboot. It shows the Sony logo, then the flame boot animation, then lock screen, but without asking for the sim card pin. So I open the sim card slot and noticed the white thingy had turned red. But I checked the sim card and is still dry. Then I open the microsd slot and found that the microsd is all wet.

But till now my phone still working Ok. No more soft reboot. Camera still working fine. Internet all still good.

i think our phone has two parts security feature...having submerged into water if the slots are all wet usually means motherboard is fried as well...

You really dare to swim with your Z1

Even if my phone is waterproof I won't bring it

Mine if I turn the jack, work fine.

OUCH!It must be a defect,its not possible for the water to go in if all the flaps are closed well

I was tempted to take photos underwater, etc. But in the end, I treat it like my iPhone 4: No cups of water near it, keep in trousers front pocket only, not shirt pocket or back pocket, no sitting on it. The phone's waterproof feature serves only as a backup plan to unforeseeable or unavoidable rain.

Haha... Previously I don't dare to do so either. I also take the water proof feature as a safety feature only ( and maybe as convenience as easy to clean the phone under running tap). But this time cos I bought the additional maxis water damage coverage and that my wife is eager to take some pic of our son in the pool. So I thought what the heck just bring the phone fora swim of a llifetime la...

But till now everything still Ok.

Yeah... I think so too... The flaps are not doing their job. Lucky no damage this far.

My phone dried up! Nth happen so far but not putting in my SIM card 1st. Put it under 24 hours observation

Yep, its more a backup feature for me.

This is Tablet - - I talking phone Z2 la

That simple home is only useful for oldest badge people that can't seen clearly. Not useful for us yet.

Anyone updated to 14.2.A.1.136?

I think quite a lot of people here updated. What you wanna know?

Anyone know when kitkat is coming for z1?end of this month or next month?

Need to check the flaps. So far I've been swimming with phone (even way pass the recommended limits) as well as having it with me in showers, checking in the rain, etc etc. Touch wood no issue so far. but i bought this because i want to take underwater shots so it should work as per advertised.

Btw, maxis as water damage coverage? How you buy that?

Yeah. I did check the flaps b4 going to the pool. But water still sip in. And I also have my hard case on covering the flaps. So, impossible for the flaps to open by accident.

But the worse is the microsd slot. My card is practically soaking wet! When I first saw it I tot die lo like this, so much water sip in... But I play around the phone still functioning normal. Only can't read the microsd card cause it's wet. After it died up, I put in the card and it works. Even the under water pic I took also there. What a relieve...

The maxis one covers few things like water damage, theft and some other item not covered by normal warranty. It's rm1 perday
