z2 usb flap

[assi]

Had this phone for less than a month now and already the usb flap is broken. Anyone else experienced this problem yet??

I'll see if I can get it fixed

I have a similar problem. I purchased it 4 weeks ago and usb flap pops opened on it's own all the time. I don't know what to do,cause basically it's not waterproof anymore.

Fortunately for me I was able to place it back
inside. But for how long is it going to stay there for, that's the question.

Omg I should buy a magnetic charging dock now. Or a magnetic charging cable at least. Before it's too late!

I managed closing tje flap for some time now....cleaned the flap's rubber with 75% alcohol, and have switched onto the dock charging,but I still think that it would be good if I bought a spare flap for sim and usb and say goodbye to the old one.

Alcohol is not good for the rubber.

I have the same problem with both my flaps, opens very easy. Pops open even.

If the tabs are not staying shut or pop open on their own I would strongly advise contacting your local Xperia Care team so that they may assist in arranging this to be assessed by an authorised agent.

I have already sent in my z2 for this fault only to have to sent it in again. For the same fault. I just hope the phone gets replaced.

I would have the phone in my pocket and pull it out to find the flap is open and I could go as far as just leaving the phone on my desk to find that it opens on it's own.

Is this a common fault?

Iv been experiencing this problem for the last week, less than two months since the beginning of the contract. Iv been wondering if it might be caused by heat and humidity as it never noticeably moves when it's out of my pocket in fresh air or a well ventilated environment, but when I remove it from my pocket after as little as 30 minutes the tab will be hanging completely open. This is all the more annoying as I specifically bought a magnetic charging dock for the phone within days of receiving the phone so as to avoid wearing the seals out prematurely and causing this exact problem...

I have had my Z2 a month now and I am having the same problem the charging port flap just pops open on this own in my pocket on my desk on the arm of the chair I will go into shop with it this week to get it sorted
