sony xperia z3

My friends Z3 just started having this problem with their phone. What is the cause, will Sony warranty it? EDIT: Sony has said that the recent software update may have caused the issue (I have no idea how), therefore, to software reset the phone. Otherwise, if the software reset does not fix...

Hi folks Odd one. The audio cuts out on the phone [whether FM radio, music app etc] after a while after the screen goes dark. Speaker or headphones. It seems not to be related to the screen sleep activation. For instance, I set the FM radio going, press the power to blank the screen and all is...

I tried searching on the forum but I couldn't find any good result. Perhaps someone can direct me to the right direction. I also search online and I read several articles and it appear that 5.1.1 is a lot harder to root then 5.0.2, so I'm trying to be extra careful and ask for help before I...

Hello, first of all my english isn't good enough to describe all i want to say, i hope it's quite enough understandable. My device xperia z3 (D6653) has a problem on speaker with incoming calls and activate loudspeaker phone during phone calls, the ringtone is too low.. as well as my speaker in...

Hi People. I have been trying to get the HS-USB Android Diag/Modem/Serial ports activated so that they show in Device Manager, to no avail. I am using Windows 7. Is there a special number sequence i enter into the dialler on the Xperia Z3? Or is there a special USB driver i have to install? I...

I've been just trying to ignore this for a while but it's driving me crazy now. Sometimes in the late afternoon/evening, my wifi connection becomes very unreliable. All my other devices work fine, but my phone starts playing up. News feeds don't refresh for a few minutes at a time, whatsapp...

Whenever I call or receive a call, the in-call volume is always set to max. I can lower the volume during the call but it goes back to max when the next incoming or outgoing call is received or made. There's no call volume setting under Settings>Sound and notification either.

I currently own an S4 and cracked the screen pretty bad. I am now trying to determine which phone I should get. I've narrowed it down to the Z3V or the M9. Thoughts? Is the Z3+ coming to the States soon?

Design-wise, the stock dialer is fine... except that when I tap on a name to call, it takes a second or two before the "Call Using" dialogue box pops up to let me select which SIM to make the call. The lag might not sound significant but it is annoying if you're juggling calls in a customer...

I will like to know what is good about the z3 what is bad and is it worth getting it

Hi, So today I noticed there was a little bit of pink on my screen display, its not only there during pictures. Its only truly noticible at an angle or when the screen has a black picture on it. Its not there when the screen is locked so its definetly the display. Any idea how i might have...

Since I updated the phone on Monday with the latest Sony release 5.0.2 Build Number 23.1.A.1.28 the phone suddenly omits a loud buzzing sound like an out of tune radio station. It lasts about 2-3 seconds and then goes off by itself. What is this all about and why are these updates causing SO...

After the monumental screw up of Lollipop, Sony issued a new update to my phone yesterday which promised bug fixes and performance improvements. What it failed to tell me however, is that after the update the entire contents of my SD card had been wiped. ALL music, photos, videos and...

Hello everyone, I bought the z3 a few months ago and put my memory card - from my old phone samsung s4 - into this phone and everything seemed fine. I have recently noticed some of my photos are missing. I have searched my phone and found them in a file called LOST.DIR I cannot view the files...

Hi my Sony Xperia Z3 just cracked a while ago and the touchscreen itself is not working and its locked. I am currently trying to find out possible ways to get to the internal storage of the phone to back up some files?

Hello. As this is my first post on this forum, I will just tell who I am and what The background I have. I have been a DIE HARD apple geek since the very first iPhone came out, and have ONLY had the iPhone since my Nokia 6600 classic. I have pretty much everything in Apple, for example iMac. I...

Since updating my sony xperia z3 to the new lollipop, I'm having my sms messages show up in a box on my screen so everyone can see who they are from and the message itself. I use to have just a tone and a little box with a smiley face in it pop up in the notification bar, which was brill as...

My favorite thing: being so waterproof. To be honest, I don't know why. It's not like I use my phone in the water all the time! It's just a major thing I don't Jane to worry about. My least favorite thing: how slow it charges. Nothing worse than getting down to 30% battery before a night out...

Hello I woke this morning to see that my phone which I left charging all night was sitting at the setup screen. I had no choice but to comply with the regional settings etc, and prayed that once I had completed, my data would still be there, it wasn't. What would appear to have happened is...
