This is my last Sony and will be returned asp, but I need it this weekend.
I'm returning it because of the bad camera and display.
But after 2 days it was freaking hot in my pocket.
The screen was black but not off.
I hold some buttons down for a long time and then it turned off.
When I booted it up it took a while before the start screen appeared.
But after a minute it started to reboot and reboot.
Sometimes it locks it self in black screen but again I can see that it still on.
Then it gets hot.
Any suggestions how to make it work?
I'm up in the mountain with no pc and using a friends phone to write for help.

I just bought this phone today it rained strong and I kept in my pocket and saw that there were some drops on the screen and behind it was a bit 'but just a little' wet, now when I try to turn the screen is completely black, only the lights of the buttons turn on, if i press the volume button i hear the volume sounds but the lcd remains like turned off no retroillumination, nothing! Of course i cannot enter in download/recovery mode, i am desperate i have bought this phone few hours ago!
Now,quickly remove battery, sim, micro sdcard, everything you can remove and put it in dry place to dry.
*DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON!*
this may cause electric schocks which damages phone
Let it dry a FEW DAYS.

I had exactly same situation when my phone got wet. I removed also motherboard and other stuff. It didn't worked, so I ordered new screen for 100euros.

i will take it to the samsung point in my city it should be in warranty...
okay nice
As the title says. When I lock the screen using the power button I get about a 1.5 second lag between when thr button is pressed and the screen goes off. This doesn't happen every time. Any ideas? Also my transitions to .5 keeps resetting itself back to 1! So frustrating
I experience exactly the same lagging while locking the phone. A fix to this solution would be much appreciated! Thank you...
I have the same issues, even when all the fancy settings (watercolor and sounds) are turned off it still lags.

I had that issue as well for a little bit, but it seems to have went away by itself for me.
I had some of the same issues but I noticed when i rooted and did a full wipe of the phone a lot of these small issues went away. One that bothered me was screen rotate. It would take about 2-3 sec to switch.
Having the same issue

Same issue here. Although there was at least one instance that i locked the device and it made the lock sound play, but the screen remained on for well over 5-10 seconds. Weird. Might be related to the new packet mode thing this phone has where it uses little power to deliver messages while the screen is off. I forgot the name of it.
I have figured out that if you disable multiple widget lockscreen it makes it turn on/off faster.
I am now experiencing this! When I was rooted on m1 I never had this problem but now that I'm on mj5 rooted it lags horribly on the lockscreen..... But not all the time only every once in a while! Has anyone figured out a fix? I'm contemplating a factory reset!

TLDR: I was cuddling my gf to sleep while using my phone. I fell asleep too. The phone was in bed with us for a couple of hours, but I don't think either of us lay on it, though my gf may have put some weight on it while getting up from bed to go to the w/c.
This morning it was unresponsive to touch, after rebooting it twice it won't turn on at all
When I press on the screen 1/3 of the way down with a bit of force, I feel it moving a bit and I can hear and feel a click on the inside.
The glass is intact.
-----------
I fell asleep with the phone in my hand and I must have let go of it in my sleep. I woke up when my girlfriend was going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The phone was still in the bed near where my hand was when I was falling asleep, but it was also in the path of my half asleep girlfriend rolling out of bed. I checked to see if it was still alive by pressing the power button and the screen turned on. Satisfied, I put it on my nightstand and went back to sleep.
When I woke up this morning I tried using it. It wasn't responding to touch at all, not even the home row buttons. But the volume rocker worked and so did the power button menu, but I couldn't select reboot in the menu with the touch not working. I force closed it with power + volume up, and when it rebooted it still wouldn't respond to touch. I force closed it again and now it won't turn on at all. I tried numerous button combinations (power on + volume up, down, all three, holding for up to 20 seconds) and it doesn't respond to being plugged into the wall or to the computer either, no led light and it's not mounting on the PC. It had about 60% power left before force closing it.
The funny thing is is that I couldn't figure out what the cause was for a long time. I googled it and search results for Z1's "sudden death issue" appeared and I figured it was something like that. Or maybe it was a delayed effect of putting it underwater 2 days ago.
But then it dawned on me, it was (of course) what had happened in the middle of the night. The phone looks completely fine, but after examining it closer, when I press on the screen 1/3 of the way down with a bit of force, I feel it moving a bit and I can hear and feel a click on the inside. I wonder what that could be..
What are my options now? I got the phone just a couple of days ago. I doubt this is covered by warrenty right? User error?
I'm not sure if this is even the real cause though - I didn't see it happen.... but I guess it's the most logical explination.
My girlfriend is pretty small so I'd imagine she would have had to put all her weight on her hand or elbow when she was getting up to be able to break the phone like that. I have a foam mattress which probably absorbed a lot of the weight? If this is indeed the case, I'm a little disappointed in the build quality if this broke something in the phone's innards with relative ease.
Any advice would be appreciated. It's the UK model bought outside of the UK from a local retailer. This is my first good smartphone and I loved it for the short time we had together. I'm devistated about it and not really sure what to do next.
Someone hold me
No visible damage = return it as faulty
Just say it died overnight while charging.

Thanks, that's the plan I just emailed the seller
Edit: They said to go to a Sony store to claim warrenty on it

You should have a 14 day guarantee with the seller if you bought from UK..
I would go back to them and demand a replacement..

So I was just about to go to the sony store, I had the phone, cables and everything neatly packed up an ready to go. I decided to give it one last try just in case to avoid the all too common scenerio when it unexplicably magically starts working in the store. I plugged it into a wall charger and held down the power button and the red light turned on! I left it for a minute and then pressed the power button again, and the screen turned on with a battery charging logo! It looked like the battery was fully dead so I left it for 5 minutes and turned it on again. It booted up! Now the moment of truth: will the touch screen work....
Drum roll......
It does!
Everything works normally now. I have no idea wtf happened but I'm really happy that I don't have to deal with sending it in and everything.
Though I'm a little worried about what the screen clicking is, that's still there.
I'll post a video later and might take it in to sony anyway to see what they say

Glad to hear it
I have the same phone symptoms as OP. Except, I was using the phone just 15 minutes before it refused to turn on. Also, for the first time I noticed the glass making a clicking sound when pressing coming from the middle of the screen, inline with the power button. I`ve tested the phone before and never heard this clicking sound.
At this point, even if the phone fixes itself, I`d rather send it in for repair before the clicking turns into a screen fracture.
Ok so every phone ive had i turn off the auto brightness and crack it all the way up.
Then when im using the phone and i haven't touched anything the screen will go from 100% brightness to 50% and then a few seconds later (if i don't touch the screen) the screen turns off.
Well ive noticed this only happens sometimes. (uselly when im at work it works) But 90% of the time, ill be using the phone then after some inactivity the screen dims from 100% to like 98% if your not looking for it you wouldn't even notice. Then a few seconds later turns all the way off.
I have smart stare or w/e it is turned off.

Noticed the same problem here. With auto brightness on dimming works correctly, but I never find auto brightness does what I want, so I usually don't use it. Very annoying problem! Hopefully Samsung fixes this issue soon!
I'm facing the same issue. My phone goes to screen off mode without dimming, which is very annoying. Otherwise, the phone is pretty good.

So, I want an app that will turn the screen off after 30 mins even if I'm using it or watching Netflix or gaming or whatever.
This is because I have had fall asleep with my phone on before and the screen was on for like 6 hours cos I was in contact with it. So I want it to turn off no matter what after 30min.
Any app to do this? The simpler, the better.

Thank you, but I'm looking for a way to turn off the screen after 30m ALWAYS, without the need of setting a clock every time.
