Just today I started noticing issues on my magnetic connecter/port, and have started to look around. The only information I've found so far is about how Sony isn't really covering this in a manner we'd expect.

*Edit* I do see that several people seem to be gluing the port back in. Not sure if anyone has had more success with Sony or their Vendor. I may, myself, contact T-Mobile at least before I try anything myself.

Mine has been fixed under warranty by UK Sony.
Unfortunately, it came out second time as well.
The problem is the magtron x2. - DO NOT BUY THAT!
Apparently, I am looking for a glue to do the job for myself…
I could send the phone back but that would be the longest solution…

Too strong magnet

the adhesive I've seen recommended is sikaflex 291, which is on amazon - it's a marine sealant apparently

just to add that the black magnetic connectors seem so much harder to find for the Z3 than the white ones, although a german retailer called handyersatzteilshop.de seems to have them, and they ship internationally

I think this could be good for the job. What do u think?

seems to tick a lot of boxes, although one or two others had temperature ranges included as part of the sales pitch - I've used that stuff before for general purposes to be honest, and it's quite fluid - when the connector falls out is there any indication as to how the original glue was applied by sony, and is there much risk of the replacement glue seeping into the rest of the phone?

I'm not sure if it would but if it's liquid then it might be hard to cover all holes for water entry. I used a clay adhesive and though it was hard to apply because the area is small, it did a great job of sealing my magnetic port so that I can still have water proof on the device and the port is very strong now.

Do you have a link to the stuff what you exactly used?
Sounds good to me.

Btw,
On Ebay there is a magnetic connector for 6pounds and I have been told that ir has the adhevies layer as well. So might better to buy that.

Well, I see your points.
The original glue like a 1mm thin rubber layer on the connector…

I bought one at local shop. Try googling BOSTIK ADHESIVES.

Water proof Gorilla Epoxy works wonders, used it to fix the LCD to my LG G2 after a screen replacement, it has a 3200 psi rating.

Are y'all yanking out the magnetic charger thing straight out? I usually just snap it off to the side so that I don't apply so much force to the charger port.

That's what I have been doing, I'm very careful with this because I know that there will be an issue of this yet no matter how careful i was it just went loose

Well if that is the case I'm a little more worried. I love the phone so far but a these little build quality things and the fact that I can't get root yet (6613) is really starting to add up.

Is that easy to apply. I mean the area is tiny and does it make it waterproof?

 

[sisqoboy]

i just bought a new connector.

What should I use to clean the socket for the connector before I glue it?

You have to mix the epoxy and apply, it's a bit thick and gooey but you can still easily get the required amount. I used a small metal tab to get my G2s LCD fixed in place, as you know the G2 has a tiny bezel, if I used too much it would have gone into the LCD layers, but I avoided that.

 

[deepershades]

sisqoboy, did you manage to fit the replacement connector, and any tips?
