    Hi, I have the copper colour Z3. When I go to about phone and press the android version lots of times, the number "2" comes out. Press it few times then android kitkat comes out. When I use my Samsung Note 3, the letter "K" comes out signifying kitkat. So what is the number 2 signify?

    Screen crack...waiting...

    I purchased a Xperia z3 about 3 weeks ago. I've been babying this phone and have never dropped it. Out of no where, I noticed a hairline crack going from the top left to the bottom right. T-Mobile wants 175 for an insurance claim?! I called Sony and they said they will replace the screen if...

    First impressions

    I just got my Z3 last night from T-Mobile, I am coming over from a Nexus 5. The screen is gorgeous although I think screen resolution and specs are over rated on smart phones, everything looks really good. The design of the phone is "sexy" if you feel comfortable using that word to describe a...

    Help Issue after first underwater test! -SOLVED

    So I 'took the plunge' and tested my shiny new z3 in the bath. There were a few issues with trying to take video as the screen doesn't work, but I can accept that. The videos and pictures came out well and will be fun around the pool. HOWEVER, a couple of hours later, I received a call and the...

    Can i use a different brand "faster" charger with my Z3?

    The one and only thing i miss going from my Samsung GS4 to my Sony Z3 is the speed the charger charged my phone. I don't claim to be knowledgeable on this kind of stuff other than i know its something to do with the amps the plug pushes out. So my question is this; can i use the Samsung GS4...

    Ruler for Z3

    Hi, I couldn't find any usable, ad-free and real full-screen ruler in Google Play, so I have now created my own ruler. It's calibrated for Xperia Z3. It's an image but you will quickly see that there is no need for an app to measure items.. Just save the image to your phone: Version 1...

    Z3v is a Z2 in Z3 clothing

    Tomshardware questioned Sony and was told the display on the Z3v is the same as the Z2 and not the better Z3 display. Ironic and follows suit with a reduced spec camera. I agree with others stating Sony must have had some excess components to run out, so chose the NA market ;)

    Z3 or Z3 Compact?

    HI all, Just wondering if there is any major advantage to getting a full size Z3 over the Z3 Compact apart from the screen size? I'm currently on a Nexus 5, but looking for a change, going for a Z3 or Compact due to PS4 Remote play and expandable storage. How does a compact compare in size...

    Which Case?

    Hi all, I'm ordering my Z3 on Wednesday (its time to trade in the Nexus 5). I'm just wondering what cases people are using, I'm looking for something sturdy, I may even try a Bookcase cover this time. I'm currently using a Spigen case on my Nexus 5

    Hide the Z3 nav bar without root?

    If Verizon offers this with 32GB, I would seriously consider it over my preorder of the Note 4. The one issue is the navigation bar that does not appear to hide like on the G3 with apps. Sony's rom appears more like the HTC M8's that also does not offer to hide it in apps. Just media. All...
