Hey, recently I bought a Sony Xperia Z (C6603) off ebay. The phone is working fine so far, except for one thing:
The power button is VERY sensitive. If I only swipe over it with my finger, it treats this already like a press.
Comparing it to my other C6603 (I want to give on of them to my parents) with a working power button,
I can see that the working button sticks a tiny bit more far out than the overly-sensitive one. Also, the sensitive one doesn't give that typical "click"-feedback when pressing it.
Not only do I fear that this would accidentially turn on the screen whilst being in my pocket, but also it's a bit irritating while actually using the phone (initially I thought that the LCD was defect until I realized that it's only flickering because my finger touched the button lightly).
Has anyone else experienced this and/or knows a solution? I guess since the device is waterproof opening it (and closing it after) is bit more of an effort and is thus not too advisable. But who knows.
With the case on it's a bit better but still an issue.
tl;dr: Power button is VERY sensitive, is there any easy fix?
Also, is there any app that could tell me how often the screen got turned on during the phone was in my pocket? Just to know how much this is an issue.
Thanks in advance!
