Will it be gone or will increase with more usage? Will it affect the phone's performance? Should I ask for replacement? I would prefer it to be repaired as I think it is the glue that is spreading. If I am to get a replacement I would prefer it to be of silver colour only.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: calibri,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;">Image: <A class="loading" href="http://s16.postimage.org/iwu4k9lid/DSC01225.jpg" title="http://s16.postimage.org/iwu4k9lid/DSC01225.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN style="color: #0000ff;">http://s16.postimage.org/iwu4k9lid/DSC01225.jpg</SPAN></A></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 16 Sep 2012 10:08:32 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990837#M198740 topazonic 2012-09-16T10:08:32Z Re: Transparent strip problem!! https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990838#M198741 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Get it replaced at the Service centre, since it is the most sensitive part of the phone, i would suggest you to use a cover like i am using, this will prevent undue pressure on this strip area and reduce any furtehr chances of damage </P><P></P><P><A class="loading" href="http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190710178346#ht_4501wt_1139" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190710178346#ht_4501wt_1139</A></P><P></P><P>I brought brown one for my silver .</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 16 Sep 2012 10:12:01 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990838#M198741 aayushjain1987 2012-09-16T10:12:01Z Re: Transparent strip problem!! https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990839#M198742 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes,aayush is right.You should take it to a sony centre,where they can manage your phone correctly.I also bought a cover,just for the backside and covering the margins,and a screen protector foil.</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 16 Sep 2012 10:27:14 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990839#M198742 _alexdon_ 2012-09-16T10:27:14Z Re: Transparent strip problem!! https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/transparent-strip-problem/m-p/2990840#M198743 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you sure that I should get it replaced?

They have told me that I will be getting my phone back by Thursday. I had it submitted last week. Since it was a very minor problem they were saying that they will forward my problem to higher authority &amp; once their response comes they will do the needed. I had to call them many times &amp; finally they told me that I would get my phone this Thursday. So I am waiting for it &amp; hope that it is not postponed. I will keep you posted. For security reasons I took a photo of all the details of my phone.
