I have 2 problems in my xperiaZ1:
1) I have a problem with screen mirroring feature in xperia Z1. While the TV shows that the phone is connected, the phone still shows "preparing to mirror". After some time, a msg in the phone saying cannot mirror.
A samsung Note 3 get mirrored to the same TV in just one click. Whereas, xperia z1 is not able to.
2) While on the call, the other person can hear me only when I hold the phone properly (meaning with my hand to the ear). The moment I rest my phone to my shoulders (while my hands are engaged with something else etc,.) the other person is unable to hear me. There is no network issue as I tried this at home where the person was able to hear me properly when the phone was properly held with the hand, but the moment I rest it on my shoulders, there seems to be a problem. This is a weird problem. I hope you have understood it correctly.
1) I tried too to pair to my TV and i can't send any pictures to be show because I wissing the option send via WiFi so somehow this is a problem. BTW I am on 4.3.
2) Solution: Don't use your shoulders! Probably because when you do that you cover the microphone and Z1 is not like other phones, it's well isolated due to waterproffness.

I have same issue with screen mirroring ... I can't connect to my Samsung smart tv...
Sent from my Z1.
Yup, connects to the TV, but doesnt stream content. Maybe samsung tv requires a samsung phone with the AllCast app
guys, today I had been to the electronics store in Bangalore. I tried mirroring my Z1 to 5 to 6 Samsung Smart TVs there. unfortunately, it dint work. Since that store was selling Sony Xperia Z1 mobiles too, planned to mirror a new Z1.
To my horror and surprise it was working !!!
I went to the authorised sony centre and they said they l check and revert back..Will update, once I have my phone back. Kitkat is due early february and it seems it will take care of this issue..
I was wrong about the microphone btw, just found out that it is actually where the speakers are

You are wrong now too, the Z1 have 2 microphone, 1 behind call speaker on top and 1 at the bottom, they working together and closing 1 is 50% less of possibility that other person can hear you, enough to not hear you at all.
I have the same problem with phone calls ! I've even tried holding it off center between my ear and shoulder ( very awkwardly ) , but then the proximity sensor triggers the screen. This Z1 has been nothing but issues.

hey dude
so i decided to buy this phone but after reading this issue i kinda changed my mind but i thinks this may work
i bought a Xperia Tipo for my baby brother last week and it has touch sensitive issues just like SP when it placed horizontal ( i watched the Utube Videos and it looks exact the Same) but i found a little Mod App called (Touch Calibrate) i want you test it for me and say that if that worked for you or not!

Did You Check Unknowns Resources in Settings?!
it should WORK!
if that didn't work search TOUCH CALIBRATION in Play Store and let me know
Touch Irresponsive, Screen Freezes
Like a lot of users, I am also having problems with the xperia SP's touch screen. The touchscreen becomes randomly irresponsive. Sony acknowledges the problem and suggests:
"This have now been investigated and if you experience this problem I advice you to contact your local support team to have your phone calibrated at a repair center."
The problem is in live in Bangladesh and they do not have official Sony tech support centres. Does anyone know how to do the touch screen calibrations ? Any DIY solutions will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mir
1.Turn on your display and wake app like the paintsoft.
2.Put your Z1 onto a insulated one, like rubber sheet and your Z1 has to be naked.(without any cases)
3.Wait 30sec or more.
4.Draw a line, and during drawing, touch the side panel. Left side and right side should be touched by two fingers. and cover of microUSB port and sim port should not be touched.
5.About 70-80%, You can reproduce the problem.
The movie is here
http://youtu.be/CeAw17LrdKE
This problem may be caused by bad insulating.
But I don't know this problem is occurred in all Z1s.
This problem of touch panel can be occurred variable timings.
People who playing games or using pattern lock will recognize this problem easily. but difficult for who Not playing games or Not using pattern lock.
This method can detect the potential error of your Z1 it looks no problem.
Please test your Z1. and if the problem is reproduced, you should go to store and make a claim!
and replaced one if you get, please re-test and report here.

My Z1 also have this problem. After 40seconds i even didn't have to touch this two sides of phone.
For few weeks I never saw that problem on mine so I was not worry about it but today I tested few nice games and I realized that after a minute playing the game (Minimotor or HAWX) the virtual joystick stopping working. I have to retouch the joystick with my hand or take off my hand from the phone. All the time.
My question: this is a Hardware problem?

This ploblem can solve by updating the driver software. like Xperia tabletZ.
Hang in there!
In the next week i will buy this phone when i have enough money.
How often come the problem?

How it's possible the problem of the touch screen is because is too sensitive? I hope there is a solution via software but for there is some lack of insulated between the touch screen and the rest of the phone. That why when you touch the frame the touch respond very badly.

I think the screen react to very few electrostatic.like touching side panel.
so to make less sharp ,It will be ok. perhaps.
Confirm the problem in my device, hopefully a fix can be found, mine ain't so bad I guess cos it happens only when I press the sides

Actually, It is reported that replaced one has this issue too in Japan.
Sony don't recognize this issue yet!
I did a video by myself and I don't get it! Where is the problem? I mean where is the problem causing the touch screen failing to work. The only 1 thing what I am sure is if I leave the phone for 20, 30 seconds the issue show up with my touch screen with or without touch the aluminum frame.

I can attest to this one as well. Issue occurs especially when gaming and prolonged touch on the screen and without even touch the side panel.

Exactly, I think we are close. The problem appear after long or prolonged use with the touch screen.
No issues here, i tested for like 20 minutes and its perfect here
No issues with games, paint or the service test
So maybe the C6906 doesn't have it?

I've got a problem with calls. On stock ROMs and Paranoid Android, with every kerenels.
Sometimes I can't hear the person with who I'm talking but only on "normal mode". When I activate loudspeaker or plug in headphones I can hear without problems but after deactivating or plugging out the problem comes back and I can't hear anything. This occurs not always but very often.
Can someone helps?
I had this issue you may want to check with other people around here who are running cyanogenmod as far as I know mine was spoiled so I had to change it no idea if it was cause by cyanogenmod highly doubt it
I have the same issue! I actually had it when I was running OEM software, before rooting I sent it in to sony with the complaint 3 times. Each time they returned it with simply a software update applied.
I find if you cover and uncover the light sensor a couple of times it tends to fix itself, but its frustrating!
Yes, very frustrating! But this must be a software defect.
Maybe someone could make a fix...
Any help?
I highly doubt that it is a software defect issue but if it is a really software defect issue causing the ear speaker to fail then sony has some explaining to do nevertheless some of them reported the same issue with cyanogenmod 11.0 so honestly I dont know what is causing this but overall it seems like quite a big issue..

did you amplify the speaker or did anything to it, in the past etc ? like fauxsound
if you never did did you remain on stock kernel with cm11 all the way
Yes. I used some mods like pxa, but without any mods and with the problem exists

yeah it is damaged how long did you have your xperia z cause I had mine for 1 year 3 months before it died today it works fine.
huh? so what is causing this? sound-mods or just bad luck? had my xperia z 1 year 4 months and so far its ok... (*touch wood*) will be gutted if it dies...
must be sound mod blow out the speaker o.o no idea but I got mine fully replaced.
I had the same Problem. After installing Sound About from playstore and disabled headphone detection the Problem is gone
haha it isn't the old 'dust in the headphone socket' problem is it?
I broke my screen last week , it fell and was damaged, and the camera stopped working too. I fixed the screen, but the camera is still offline, tried to change the rom, but no changes., i am getting the "Error, camera not available". When i click on camera icon, it shows a black screen after some delay and then right away an error message pops up with "Error! Camera not available". When i load this from any application, such as snapchat or instagram, it crashes the application. Has anyone dealt with such issue before? Give me some hope, what could be wrong.
The camera was not working even before i replaced the screen. (The screen repair was good, i made sure nothing was touched that should'nt be touched.
The phone's proximity sensor seems to be a bit off too, the phone also vibrates ( like it received a text message) randomly.
Unrelated issue: the screen i install has a round ring that appears if i press the screen to hard at a certain spot. it's not too annoying but it is there.
Broken flat cable, broken camera. Physical damage.

Well i didnt opet Z1 before, so i dont know if you can only replace flat cable (if that is problem) or you must replace whole camera module.
Best bet is to give to service center, probably they will put new module on it, and its best in my opinion.

Most likely put a new module in there as the modules are machine made are probably solid.
Status Update
So i opened the phone again, and seems like i was able to fix the screen issue.
Issue of camera remains. I removed the camera from the socket, and disconnected its wire from the motherboard. When i accessed camera without wire connected, it straigth away went to "ERROR. Camera not available. Earlier, when wire was connected, it took about 5 seconds and then outputted the Error. Flash/ Front camera are still not accessible or usable even when front camera was plugged out.
Weird vibrations are felt randomly, i am still trying to pinpoint what causes them, but they have decreased significantly.
My question now is, will replacing the camera fix the camera issue? Or is there a deeper wire/motherboard issue here? What would be your next step to investigate it further. Also, can this be not a broken screen issue but a camera issue covered in warrantly?
Additional info: i have tried reinstalling ROM, flashed T-mobile's original ftf file, cleared camera cache, files etc. used 3rd party apps but no success.
#####SOLVED: SCREEN HAS WEIRD FLOATIES WHEN WE TOUCH AREA NEAR THEM
This is caused because of dust between the digitizer and the back of the phone. To fix this, simply open the phone up and remove any dust particles between the digitizer and the phone. Screen will work perfectly after that.

Update: so bluetooth call recieving does not work, people call me, and if i pick it up, voice does not work over bluetooth anymore. music skips randomly too. My question was that will camera module replacement fix this? or is this a deeper issue, such as cable that connects the camera module? what will i need to replace .
I don't think that anybody here could answer your questions. You should take your phone tot a service center.

SOLVED it.
Fixed it! The issue was that the back camera module was malfunctioning. Because of that, phone chip that controls camera (also controls vibrations) was not functioning properly. I bought a used camera module from ebay, plugged it in and phone works perfectly now
Feel free to pm me if anyone else has questions about this, or need help dismantling phone. Xperia Z1s I AM BACK!!!
Anyone else having issues like this? As far as the camera cannot connect error I have read about people with that problem and I literally tried every single suggestion. I'm not a n00b so this is really bugging me (see what I did there) Anyway all of these pictures are with the same phone. On stock 5.1.1 I RARELY could connect to the camera. With Android M preview I can at least connect about 80% of the time. However, results aren't always good. Should I just suck it up and call and get it replaced? Or is the actual phone OK and I'm one of the unlucky guys with the camera bug.

Thanks guys. Got mine swapped out at the store. Camera pops up right away and works awesome. Other things I noticed is that this new one perfectly fits my case mate folio case. The other power button must have been off by a little bit. This new one also got 50k+ on Antutu. I was lucky if the old one hit 43k.
