loose flaps

[aamir_kh]

The flap of my xperia z2 which is for the charging / USB port is very loose. It gets opened whenever i Take the phone out of my pocket. Will it affect the phones waterproofing?

Yes,it could.You should stop by a sony service to have it replaced:

I bought my phone in Saudi Arabia shortly i Will be Living for India. Can I get it replaced in India?

I do not think Sony offers international warranty.You should access the link I gave you.

I've seen some replacement ones on eBay, but you'd have thought it would be more robust that it is as this is what enables the waterproofing!

the flaps may get loose at some point of everyday use. The gum sealing might get dry and not act properly. Try to moisture the gum sealing with some silicone, gently and rather little from time to time, than once but a lot. I used a car silicone for door and window sealings and they work as from the box new.

The rubber on the flap, the inside of the housing need to be clean and dry any moisture will not allow the flap to stay unplace I cleaned mine water no soap and dried with microfiber cloth now perfect

Yeah, just get a damp cloth and clean the flap on both sides. Then get a dry cloth and ensure the seal is dryer than a stale piece of bread!

Hi pal,

I too had the same problem but I found a way to cope up with it.

Just one small procedure has to be done, open the flap softly use a soft cotton bud to remove the dirt first and then use spirit or nail polish remover or thinner to clean the flap from inside (black rubber plug) and the white slot where the sim card is inserted. Use soft cotton to do the same. Also take care that more amount of spirit is not used. After doing the above mentioned procedure clean the total slot and black rubber with soft cotton to make it dry.
