Xperia z3 D6603 concern over gaps between glass and frame.

Hello,
I recently upgraded my ion to z3. And there is no doubt that it's an amazing phone.
But I have some concerns regarding the small gaps between glass panel and metal frame. It gets dust and more over that I am worried about its waterproofing. I want to know is it normal for all z3 out there or is it just me? What if it can't handle water in this regard?
There are some pictures.
Solved!

This subject has been mentioned many times before, from the Z all the way thru the models up to the Z3.......you have to have some uniform gap between the panels & the bezel...this is to allow some form of expansion due to temp changes, if you think about it.......if it was packed tight & the phone heats up the expansion would have nowhere to go resulting in damage. The gaps do not mean that you have a waterproof issue either.....
Hope this helps

  • Gap on bottom between glass and frame

    Hi all,
    I got a D6653 last week, absolutely loving it BTW.  However, I've come to noticed a decent gap on the bottom of the device, between the glass and frame.  I don't see the same gap on top, which makes me think it's a manufacturing issue.  But, when I look at the back of the device, I see the same thing.  Does anyone else see this?  Is it normal?  This is my first Xperia device.
    The gap is starting to collect particles and it's looking very unattractive about now (only in 4 days).  Also, it makes me question the waterproof capabilitly.  I would imagine the phone assembly would have to be very tight to be able to make that promise.
    Would appreciate any feedback, thanks.

    Any pictures?
    It's definitely a manufacturing error, and you should get a replacement. I have the Z2 and have a LOT of gaps. Fortunately the device is still waterproof, but it doesn't feel right when you notice the gaps.
    Just get a replacement (should be covered).

  • Gap between glass and bezel on iPhone 5?

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/78962116@N07/8405746907/in/photostream/
    See the link above (theres a picture) for the image.
    So guys, I purchased my iPhone 5 this Saturday and, having not dropped, banged, or anything of the sort to my phone since then, I noticed this gap between the glass pane at the top of the phone's back and the bezel surrounding the device.
    I am so completely OCD about things like this, and so everytime I pick up my phone, I have to look at it... I hate it. I have looked at several other white iPhone 5s in person, and none have this issue. I am debating wether to take it to the Apple Store or not.
    Also, the sleep/wake and volume buttons feel extremely loose and they were not on either of the other devices I held.

    What if I purchased the phone from an AT&T store, not an Apple Store? Will that affect anything? And how long do I have the warranty until (I have a normal warranty, not extended)?
    ^Sorry for all the questions!

  • Gap between glass and metal band.

    I have a really thin gaps between the glass and metal band in the upper front and back right corner, and was wondering if anyone else has noticed small gaps between the glass and metal band anywhere on their phone. ive had nothing but crappy customer service at both apple stores near me, but was eventually told by the "genius" that i could come back with another appointment before the 30 days and swap for a new retail phone in the box.
    The only thing that worries me is getting a whole new phone with more different problems then the one i have with only the gap issue. The "genius" also told me that im the first one that has had this issue, yet ive seen threads about a month or so ago with people saying they had the same issue. so as an update, has anyone noticed this now?

    ya, but this isnt the first time ive had bad customer service with apple. Granted it was a different apple store, but about 3 days after i bought the phone i made an appointment, and took it in for the same separation issue. This time the guy seemed almost clueless as he had to ask his co workers questions i was asking him. Thankfully a manager overheard the situation and informed him that it was an issue that needed to be taken care of. So the guy goes to the back, comes out with a phone from the black box (At the time i had no clue of how the black boxes worked), and i ask if it was a new or refurbished phone, and he assured me it was a new one.
    So after inspecting the phone i noticed another gap in the glass and told the worker and he replies with "its not that bad, i dont think yours was that bad either". after seeing the same issue and getting his response, i decided to just keep mine and make a different appointment at another store (Today). Oh, might I add that after we leave the store, my girlfriend tells me that as i picked up the phone to inspect it, the guy rolls his eyes. Just experiences like these leave a biter taste in my mouth. its sad that a couple experiences from non corporate workers would make me start to dislike a company.

  • Dust, Debris In Between Glass and LCD

    Hi,
    A few months ago I purchased a Macbook Pro 13", it is not the newest revision with the nvidia320 graphics, its the older.
    Anyways, just a couple days ago, I opened the computer and noticed two pieces of dust in between the glass and display right it the middle of course about two inches apart, they for sure are not dead or stuck pixels as I can get them to move just a tad if I give the screen a few good taps but I don't want to screw up anything, plus a few more specks have came and gone since this started (seemingly moving across the screen over a couple days) but the original two specks are still there it seems to be getting worse and I'm concerned by a month or two the screen is going to have dozens of these specs. I keep my screen and computer super clean, I'm a bit neurotic about that which is why it annoys me so much. I'm wondering if I have a leak i the seal around my screen or something.
    Once you see these things you can't un-see them. To make matters worse, I haven't yet bought the applecare but it is still within the one year warranty, and its the old model so I don't know if they would even be able to replace it for me if they could as I'm sure they have started caring only the newest revision. Which would be a problem for me if they just opted to swap the whole thing since I got the faster 2.53 model and not the base, and from the looks of it the newer model only comes in 2.4ghz and 2.66 respectively.
    TL;DR, I have an appointment at an Apple Store tomorrow to have them check it out but I don't know if they are going to want me to pay to replace the screen or what, since I don't have apple care but I'm still under 1 year warranty? I'm curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation. This seems likes its a manufacturers defect and not anything I could have caused. It already seemed like I was pulling their teeth when I got my Macbook Pro originally it had several dead pixels and I was able to get them to swap it out so I'm wondering what kind of freak their going to think I am when I show them these pieces of dust lol. But man are they annoying, has anyone else went through this on a model over two weeks old?

    Hello,
    After reading the post and review the pictures I think I have the same problem.
    I bought a MacBook Pro 13" in December 2009 (still under warranty) through Apple Store and I noticed what I thought was a dead pixel. Looking better, even with the screen off, there is something in the sector. I took it to an Apple service and said it was a speck of dust behind the glass. I made the request to repair to Apple Care and have not had a response succesfull.
    Would greatly appreciate any suggestions from you guys.
    Greetings.
    Here are some pictures:

  • Gap between screen and bezel should i take it back to apple?

    Theres a noticable between the screen and the metal bezel, its currently working fine but i dont want the screen to die or the inside to collect up dust over the years. I only recently purchased the red nano and want this to last for a long while. Is it worth it to bring back to the apple store to get this replaced or are all nanos like this with a gap between the screen and bezel (just towards the bottom of the screen only) thank

    You are very welcome, and good luck getting this resolved.  Things like damage and scratches have been brought up on here by users in the past with devices and Apple has been pretty good about dealing with the issues.

  • Seal Between Glass And Chrome Is Peeling Back...

    I noticed this morning as I was keeping my iPhone nice and shiny with the provided cleaning cloth that the rubber seal between the glass and the chrome accent is slightly starting to peel back on the bottom left corner...
    It's only minor right now but if you gently run your finger over the imperfection the rubber shifts out of place every time...It's an issue that I think will only worsen with time I'm sure...Not to mention the imperfection is aesthetically unpleasing now that I've noticed it...
    Is this something that the Apple Store would be willing to fix/replace under warranty and has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks!

    Outfitting your phone with a case should not be a solution. As much as I respect peoples decision to use a case; iphone, ipod, I find it funny to hear them talk about how beautiful the ipod is yet their player looks like <edited by host>. I mean, you don't see BMW drivers driving around with car covers, do you? You lose the aesthetic beauty of the product. Just a personal observation. Peace.

  • Gap between lcd and digitiser

    Any one find the gap between ipad air lcd and digitiser annoying? I mean it could be better if they were one. Sometimes when tapping a little hard on th screen makes sound as if ita hollow inside.

    I never noticed it before, but yeah it has a larger gap on the right side than on the left...
    But hey, I look at the screen not at the gap. I'm happy to have an anti-glare IPS screen.

  • Published site has huge gap between content and footer

    So i have just published my site and when i look at it after being published i have a good 2 inch gap between the bottom of the content and the footer.
    I have read up on a number of bits and pieces and they say you mauy have a hidden container on the pages, which i totally accepted so i searched and nothing. I then thought it might be a issue with the master page i was using, so checked that. Couldnt see it.
    However when i looked through my site and saw the master pages i used i had a mix and some worked and some didnt. Im lost!!!
    I launch on Sat and its a bit of a pain. Has anyone had this issue? The preivew looks fine, so im not sure where this gap is coming from.
    Thanks in advance!

    When Sticky Footer is checked, the footer will stick to the bottom of the browser window unless the page is taller than the browser window.
    Glad that I could be of help.

    Sachin

  • Keeping a Consitent Gap between Content and Footer.

    Hi !
    I spent a couple of days trying to solve how to regulate the space between body and footer on a MUSE-project. I think it‘s worth dropping a few line for humankind.
    We’re on a master-page. Let’s say our standard page has the following properties:
    The Footer-marker is set to y: 500 px
    The Bottom_of_Page-marker is set to y: 650 px
    The Bottom_of_Browser-marker is set to y: 680 px
    These settings mean, you have 150 px height-space for the Footer, starting from y: 500 px.
    If you require more space for the Footer, it’s the Bottom_of_Page-marker you’ll have to drag down ( not the Footer-marker ! ).
    If you’d like to add a gap, so your Footer is not directly sticking to the Content of the page anymore, but you’d rather like to preserve some space between both, you’ll have to drag down only your Footer-elements a little bit, e. g. down to y: 520 px. So, in a way, the 20 px gap created is part of the Footer. No changes must occur to the Footer-marker, at least for this reason. You’ll only eventually drag the Bottom_of_Page-marker down, in case Gap-height + Footer-height require more space than already available (depending on your figures).
    Cheers
    G

    Sanjit, I didn't make any changes to the master at all. It was fine online, then I opened it to make a small type change and it was like this, and I can't get it back to where it was.
    I tried adjusting the footer, but the slideshow is not on the home master page, just the bottom brown part and the type in it.
    I don't know what could have caused it to change from before to now? I haven't touched the file in months.

  • Removing gaps between content and footer/ content and header

    I've been looking all around the internet for some solution, and it's probably a simple one. 
    But it's making me want to throw a brick through a window.
    How the hell do I make that gap (pointed to in red) disappear so that my footer image is seamless with my content background?

    Remove the bottom margin from your paragraph?
    p { margin:0; padding:0;}
    Or change the spacing to before so you still get gaps between paragraphs
    p {margin-top:10px; padding:0;}
