Back cover self cracked

Hi

So here I am, it just happened to me, the back cover of my Z2 self cracked ! I left it on a shelf, inside it's pouch (Adore June case), and when I took it a few minutes later, the back was all cracked.

The phone didn't fell, nio shock at all, nothing. Temperature was ambiant, about 20°c, without any big variations.

So I'd say, for a piece a of technology I bought at the high price 2 month ago, it is just unbelievable, unacceptable !
It was my first Sony phone, and it will be the very last.

Other than that, I was really satisfied with it.....until it decides to harm itself !

Now the good part of the story is, when I contacted the seller (official seller on internet), they oriented me to their warranty service, who reacted very well and fast. I was about to send them the phone, for free, for an expertise, but when I called them, they advised me to wait, because they already had hundreds of Z2 with the same issue, and for now Sony hadn't accepted to repair under warranty !!!! 

They told me they were negotiating with Sony, with the help of a consumers association, to make Sony accept their production deffective issues.

So voilà my story with Sony. I will keep you informed about the outcome, hopefully Sony will take their responsibility. 

As soon as I will have my Z2 repaired, first thing I will sell it. And never again I will hear about Xperia phones ! 

I have a Z2 Tablet, which for now is very well and doesn't seem to want to Crack it self,..... 

Final word : Please SONY, proove me I am wrong, and reply to me ; i can provide all details you would need to study my case and make your warranty work as it should. 


Good luck with yours !

This is a user support forum so in situations like this you need to contact either the seller or your local Xperia care team http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

That i already did, and my inquiry for warranty care is under process currently, via my seller.

As you said, because it is a user support forum, i thought i could share my experience with other users....to have their support, or Sony's....

at then end of the line, i am just a user who needs support...

i went to sleep and the next morning I have found that my back panel is cracked for no reason?

Can someone please give me the cause of this and how to fix it?

Ah, the spontaneous cracking glass, a mystery in it's own life time. Could you post some pics of it, more imprtantly, the edges of the phone.

I'm sorry, but this sounds about as likely to happen as the tooth fairy coming to give me money.

Either way, go to your local service centre to get it fixed.

malt1977 don't be so patronising. Yes the front and back of the phone can and does break by itself on some handsets. Sony are aware of this fault which is why they have replaced some handsets under warranty (mine included).

No disrespect was intended, and of course, I hope you all get your screens or backs covered by the warranty. I also have to be realistic and consider that not every broken screen is due to a defect, this i say as a person that sells phones for a living.

Again, it was nothing personal.
