Sony Xperia 1: Can I replace the Sony Xperia 1 fingerprint reader/scanner?

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 21:23:15 -0700

Many owners of the Sony Xperia 1 have found its fingerprint reader can be temperamental.

At least one post on the Sony forums blames this on Sony using a crappy cheap component.

Obviously mine is now past any warranty and it is probably not worth the cost for official out-of-warranty repair.

The previous time my fingerprint reader randomly stopped working, a few safe mode reboots got it to work again.

This time I think it may be permanently dead. I can think of two possible solutions and I would l love some thoughts on whether either would work:

Cheaper(?) option: Buy a replacement fingerprint sensor flex cable and try to replace the component myself. But there is no guarantee the replacement would work and taking apart my phone might just cause more problems than it solves
Maybe costlier option: Buy a USB-C fingerprint reader. This is a less destructive/invasive solution and I'll have a USB-C fingerprint reader. But this is hoping my phone can use it via USB-OTG.

Sony Xperia 1: Screen Goes to sleep soon as the device turned on

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 20:32:38 -0700

Recently device got water damaged, but everything works fine except the screen, It goes to sleep soon as the device powered on, But when powered off it show the charging logo without a problem and even booting also screen shows without a problem. but soon as turned on it goes to sleep.

I clean the motherboard after damage, swap the screen to check, swap power buttons (I don't think that's a issue) but problem stills. I reflashed the firmware also. Device is wiped while reflashing so I can't access the debugging.
Any way that I can override display sleep?

Sony Xperia 1: Xperia 1 mk 2 Audio problem during phone call

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:00:53 -0700

Solely during phonecalls with wired earphone (it dosnt matter if they are usb-c or jack 3.5mm)

I just have to start a call, no need for the interlocutor to answer, from the start i can hear noises from my mic.

More precisely, if i blow to the mic i can hear the wind effect on my ear.

I find it very annoing because i often use it for work and i drive buses and if i call when driving i can hear the mic rub to my clothes.

As soon as i end the call this thing stops.

By contacting the assistance we try to:

1 “safe mode”

2 reset to factory

3 reset to factory using my pc and sony app

4 phone repair by sony

I tried to call using app like whatsapp or telegram but, during the call by those app this annoyng thing didnt arise.

earphone tried:

Bose sound sport jack 3.5mm

Apple earpods jack 3.5

Fiio F9 jack 3.5

Google pixel auricolari usb-C

with all these the same problem, tried to other smartphone and they worked perfectly.

Did anyone find out about this and have a way to resolve?

Esclusivamente durante le chiamate telefoniche, con auricolari con cavo (indipendentemente con attacco da 3.5mm o usb-c).

Basta far partire la chiamata, non serve che l'interlocutore risponda, nel momento che parte in cuffia riesco a sentire i rumori provenienti dal microfono.

Più precisamente se soffio sul microfono sento l'effetto vento in cuffia. Trovo la cosa fastidiosa perché Guido spesso per lavoro e se chiamo mentre guido sento lo strofinare del microfono sui vestiti.

Appena chiudo la chiamata l'effetto smette immediatamente.

Contattato l'assistenza abbiamo provato a:

1 modalità provvisoria.

2 ripristino da telefono.

3 ripristino da computer.

4 riparazione del telefono.

Ho provato a chiamare con app tipo WhatsApp e telegram ma, durante l'uso di queste app l'effetto non compare.

Cuffie provate:

Bose sound sport jack 3.5mm

Apple earpods jack 3.5

Fiio F9 jack 3.5

Google pixel auricolari usb-C

Con tutte queste lo stesso problema, provati su altri telefoni funzionano correttamente.

A qualcuno è successo una cosa simile?
