Z3 back panel makes clicking noises

MWN — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 10:43:50 GMT

Hey guys! I recently purchased a Z3 about a week ago. However, today, i discovered that the back panels make a clicking sound when pressed at the bottom left(screen facing user). I dont know what happened to my phone as its less than a week with me, didnt suffer any falls or hard impact. Any suggestions to what happened? and do I need to replace the phone? Thanks

If it really annoys you, as it probably would me, as you have had it for a very short time i would take it into your place of purchase & let them see it....alternatively you could contact your local Xperia Care Centre & have a chat with them

I have the same thing, it really annoyed me but i think its not s problem but part of the double tap to take a photo function. This function works only on the "portrait retouch"and normally when i double tap the clicking place it takes the photo without me pushing it hard.

My only problem is that in the clicking place there is a white circle on screen. This was from the start when i purchased this phone but realized after 1 week.

You see there is a lighter part on the left side. That circle or something.

Btw i removed the screen protector but it isnt the problem.

Return it, an internal part is pressing slightly against screen and possibly causing the issue with back panel.

My one had these pale patches a bit further up, o2 replaced it instantly (to be fair, I did open it in front of them so they had little choice)
