When a phone has/had 1 bug/malfunction people will do anything to bring that negative point up. You really shouldn't worry about it AT ALL.
Since 434 came out I haven't heard anyone about it. And even @ 350 I barely saw people that faced the problem. Imo it's exaggerated.

It's your choice if you are not sure go try it in a shop first or ask anything you would want to now forehand and we will try to answer it. I haven't heard anyone complaining about sod, only before .350 and some of them.
I think it's a great device. But take into consideration that the screen time is between 4-5h, if you want more you might want to look an Amoled screen. Also it's worth saying that standby battery is Great.

Screen cracked
After SOD now new dangrous problem occure. Internal screen crack. Now any one tell me how many hand sets affected with internal or back
screen problem. And how it occure. As in you tube videos its a hard phone either put in hot chocalate or put in hot 100C water. Or drop it on solid floor. I am going to buy the phone when i heard this problem. Now tell me should i wait to resolve this or this cracjed screen problem is on very limited sets. HELP me and suggest me. I am unbale to decide weather to buy this hand set or not. Because of internal
screen cracked problem. I am very affariad if this problem will occured, i have not much money to repair it. Very hardely to mange the money to buy this phone.

Since the 434 update and now even the 253 update the sod and reboots are fixed never had one Sony addressed the issue quickly and when u get a Xperia z make sure u update the software if it isn't already updated.

Never had a SOD or a freze or something like that. Everything is fine with my C6603. I am running Stock Rom and use to have root on the previous FW-version. never had any problems.

SOD issue is solved long ago, the happen also minimum for this device. Nothing to worried on this, it is not massive issue like happen in Samsung Galaxy S III.
SOD issue had occur in Samsung Galaxy S II, S III, NOTE II, ASUS PadFone 2 also.
As for screen crack, that is user behavior cause, any phone can happen this.

first, be sure to have a pocket large enough for the Z to fit in
second, make sure your movement is not compromised by the Z in the pocket
third, either get a bumper protector(whatever you call it) or leave it as it is(this is what I did)

[Q] Processing quality horrible?

Hello community,
Im just disappointed! Why? I'll tell you. I bought the Xperia SP 4-5 weeks ago.
I found some processing errors like:
1 small dead pixel on the right side of the touchscreen. (It sucks!)
The back cover doesnt fit 100%.
The back cover creaks sometimes, when I push on it.
I got the white Xperia SP and the aluminum frame got also an error. The color of the coating spalled in some places.
Picture: (made by another user with the same problem)--- http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3352/taq33t6j_jpg.htm
I didn't drop the phone or something else.I always handled it very well.
Btw. that WLAN range issue sucks also a lot.
I will never buy any shi* from Sony again.
Sorry, but Im just angry! I paid 350€ and then this...
My questions: Got anyone else problems with the SP like me? Could I reclaim the phone because of that processing errors and the wifi error?

If under warranty I would send back because of dead pixel/screen probs.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium

Just wondering... Always thought, that Sony is a premium brand, which stands for quality, lol.
Maybe they are, but not on smartphones.
I`ll contact my provider and describe them my problems, hope, I'll get a new one without any errors.
Ty for your answer!

You must be under warranty!!! take it Back dont even think about it and demand for a new device. I paid 290 for it and i live in Greece (the most expensive place on earth) so i would not like it either if it sucked as a phone.
As for Sony not to be a fanboy but all my phones were bought from Sony (and Ericsson) and i was pretty pleased with the construction quallity.

Dead pixels suck, go get a new one since it should be under warranty. The back cover creaking is quite a common problem (I have it too), so I guess you can either get a hard case that fits, or just live with it.

Yea, you're right! The camera is also bad, but the cameria isn't very important for me.
I already contacted the provider, where I bought it, via E-Mail. Still waiting for an answer.

[Poll] Touch Panel Problem & Dead Pixel

Please explain How did u get touch panel problem...
from the first touch?
or after some days?
or after update, flashing manually or unlock-bootloader and root?
problem appear when screen warm or not?
purchase date
& ...
(there might be more C6903 on poll results and it doesn't mean this edition is bad, it might because of more users for C6903 so more people to test and ...)
(there s already thread about touch panel issue But that was more personal experience and i want here more technical detail, tnx)

Got this problem after 2 months of using, after drowning it in the bathroom *suprisingly *, but I dried it as described in the manual So I hope that is not a reason. Z1 was rooted, UB. Temperature does not affect this. Bought it in November.

I have this problem from the beginning... I don't know how to fix it... I won't send my phone under warranty to fix it because here in Poland they will do everything to not fix your phone. In Warsaw we have Sony support center, they are fixing there Sony and SE phones. But they are also destroying your phone eg.: after fixing your phone is full of scratching, it has got damage on housing. Here in Poland this is normal.

more experience please...
:good:

- C6903 - purchased in Finland (Nordic area) mid November.
- Got the problem from day 1 no matter whether the phone was cold or hot or warm or whatever.
- Could test for it with a posted method here on XDA sometimes but not 100% of the time.
- Tried rooting (no custom roms, no unlocking BL) but couldn't get rid of the issue.
- Took it for repair under warranty a week before christmas and got it back 2 days ago with changed display brackets. Works as a charm now.

going not to buy xperia anymore...

i sold xperia z because of dead pixel and bought xperia Z1 and again 2 dead pixel !!!

[Q] Touch stopped working!

I was taking photos in the pool and everything was fine. But after a few minutes outside the water, the touch suddenly stopped working. The water indicators are all white and everything but the touch are still working. I can even take pictures.
I have restarted, factory reseted, put a new firmware and nothing seens to solve it. Must be a hardware problem. Any sugestions?

There aren't any water indicators on Z1. You already did what you should. Last thing is to flash a new FTF via Flashtool and if this will not solve the problem then it's a hardware failure and go for replacement.

Then go via warranty. Are you sure the indicators are there under the flaps? I tested the flaps many times and no sign of any indicators. Maybe they are fake.

Then you should go for international warranty from Sony Service, call them.
BTW, I think you confusing the reset button with the indicator. Trust me there is no any indicator. You can say this all day, trust me.

Sorry, my Z1 is normal, your have to be special. There is no any indicator. Type on XDA "Z1 Indicators" and you will read about it more deeply. I am not new to this so stop telling me this crap.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...-the-water-indicator-on-Xperia-Z1/td-p/397501 from the Sony forum. It's not crap, the indicators are the white strips on the reverse of the flaps. They will turn red if your wet them. Try it if you don't believe me.

Hey Greg, I saw this page and sorry if I was rude in the last post but under my flaps there is not any kind of indicators, not even close. A picture of this indicators will help me to understand if I am wrong...

Googling "Xperia z1 water indicator" reveals that there actually is at least 1 physical indicator. Maybe it's model-specific or there are just a lot lot of people with a misunderstanding.
Either way, you should go for the warranty and contact the Sony support.
Since its only your touchscreen that stopped working, chances are good that it's can be repaired by an independent phone repair center, but that would cost a bit.
Good luck

I did. I took off the flap from micro SD and I drop water on it and still gray like new the first time. I can make a vid about this if someone don't believe..so?

My Z1s doesn't have any indicators under the flaps either. There might be one inside, but nothing on the flaps.

[urgent]vibration motor broken, send it to sony?

Hey guys,
When I was using my Z1 today I noticed that the vibration motor was squealing sometimes and making very weird sounds... I have tried to flash a rom, reboot, nothing fixed the issues, this happens when pressing the soft keys, using the keyboard,...
Should I send it in to Sony? Will they still repair it if I have removed the ASF and unlocked the bootloader(TA backup was accidentally deleted)? Or should I just live with it?
As you might know, this is very urgent since I need my phone back as soon as possible! So I just want you guys to let me know what I should do with this...
Thanks for your input,
Noahvt

You gotta love lollipop notifications, all the wife saw was vibrator broken and laughed her ass off.
In regards to you phone, yes send it to Sony.

To the best of my knowledge, removing the asf and bootloader unlock results in a warranty being voided. So don't expect it to be covered by warranty. Or go to them with complaints of the Z1 vibe motor malfunctioning as it is a very widespread issue and has been documented well.

I've had many issues before with phones... I had modded my transformer tablet so much once and it broke and they still repaired it! This hardware issue is almost impossible to be caused by the software or removing the ASF. I've had some good repairs with sony before. I had a sony laptop and even though it sucked they still repaired it for free even after the warranty passed!
