i dont have any issues with my port. i dont use dock.. but i have the magnetic connector.. the magnetic port is held by a clip in the other side of the metal frame, i think that might have released your port.. thats an easy fix..but u need to disassemble the phone..

Return the phone at once to where you made your purchase. Insist on either a new phone or a full refund. No brainer.

Let us now how you get on. Good luck and stand your ground!

OMG. Even a junkyard magnet won't be able to do that with the phone!

Haha, this is really awkward. I hope Sony will fix this for you - looks really like a problem on the manufacturing side.

I wonder if the water resistant capability is vulnerable because of this, can you see internals thru holes after the dock?

It would, the magnetic port isn't soldered in, those two contact Strips Look like they just plug into something

The same issue in South Korea.

I'm sorry, bad English.
Several cases occurred in the same issue, even in our country.
But the problem is the fault of the customer, according to Sony service center.
Many people are angry, but they do not change attitudes.
Sony's quality control is questionable, but they do not recognize it either.
I hope you look forward to a good result. Please let us know results later!

I tohught i'd found someone that had the charging port always crooked problem this is much different.

that is something to look out for.

Worried now as i use the magnetic port exclusively.

Kamran9558 · Jun 6, 2014

This just happened to me today. I removed my phone from the dock this morning and the port was detached from the phone and was stuck on the dock

its already my second phone as the first one had digitizer lines, gaps etc.

I'm on my third device now. Just happened to me on monday but I was using a third party charging cable.

it looks like the port is just glued in with the contacts being pushed into the phone. I would have thought they would have made it with a lip so it could not be pulled out!? or is that to much like common sense lol.

coolmingli · Jun 7, 2014

This is hilarious, I can't believe this have happened to the charging port, it looks very sturdy.

cHoLoCoY · Jun 11, 2014

i was planning to buy this (it has really good reviews, 5 stars on all the reviews,.... although its only like 9 people that reviewed it)
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...402475479&sr=8-4&keywords=z2+magnetic+charger

it says that it has twice the Magnetic Power than original Sony Xperia Charging Cable.... that sounds good because i heard the original one is kinda weak and disconnects easy,.... but in the other hand it increases the possibility of making the magnetic port loose,.....

has anyone tried this product yet????

Common sense does not exist in the corporate world. They are mutually exclusive (save for some extenuating circumstances).

So how does this affect waterproofing, is the phone stilled even if the port isn't in?

If it is then I wouldn't mind having to put dab of glue and shove it back in if mine ever came out.

If it's not then it might have been a leakage point for some of the people that ended up with moisture inside after phone is submerged.

I guess I'm going to have look for those tear down photos & see if it shows details of the frame/magnetic port.

Well this is awkward. My port just came loose after using Sony original magnetic charger. Darn that's annoying, guess I have to return it. Should I relock the Bootloader? It doesn't have anything to do with software..

I just sent it for repair, not sure if they can fix it or I get a new phone. Hopefully it's not "my fault". I will update when I hear from them.

osharaf · Jun 15, 2014

Please update me, mine did not come out but at the opposite it looks like it's being pushed in, there is a tiny gap showing on the left side as if it's going to fall inside the phone from one side.
