Hi guys,
My XperiaZ has two cracks in the upper end of its touchscreen all of a sudden. I was just operating the phone and then it happened.
Is this a known issue maybe? I can't even backup my stuff now since the touchscreen won't respond properly anymore..
No one? :S
It has been reported a few times. Try to contact Sony about it! If you want to backup your stuff and adb is disabled, connect a mouse to your z.

Hey OP, just wanted to let you know that the same thing happened to me. Two hairline cracks on the screen out of nowhere! Rendered half the touchscreen useless. Sent it to Sony, they honored my warranty! The coolest thing is they even replaced the external speaker with an updated unit (possibly the one in the Z1/Z2? Also they didn't mention it in the Statement of Work, but i'm sure they've changed it) and now it's actually quite loud! I've always had a good experience with Sony. You should really send your device in for evaluation, you'll be surprised!

Has anyone managed to connect a PS3 controller to the Xperia Z wirelessly? It's working alright via the USB cable, but not without it.
Can it be done?

Yes - search for Six Axis Controller in Play Store (paid app) - must be rooted though.
I use it with my N64 games on my Z.

ok....but I found it easy...like all the Sony Android devices I have owned - easier than my old HTC!
I used this method and its just a matter of clicking and letting it do its thing (READ the instructions, all the info is there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
:good:
otherwise no other way that I personally am aware of using the PS3 controller - you might want to search the forums in general as it may be working on other Sony devices and perhaps you can take some info from elsewhere and use it?
Good luck

I agree as the rooting method is pretty simple and you won't lose any of the features that the phone comes with..
One device I know that works both wired and wirelessly is the Xperia tablet S, without rooting may I add and it worked perfectly.
I'm not sure why Sony did not do the same with Xperia Z
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Coolllll:good::fingers-crossed:
I would imagine we'll be getting the ability to connect natively in the next update. I've had it on my Tablet S for 6 months or more. The SP will have it at launch so we might see an early port soon.

I'm having so much trouble trying to pair my ps3 controller wirelessly.
It all goes well when I try to connect then soon as I disconnect it, the ps3 controller turns off (can't even turn it back on so lights are flashing) but soon as I plug it in again, it's paired as wired only although the lights are still off.
Any thoughts? It uses to work a while back.

Reset the controller and try again.
There is a button on the back of the controller. You'll need some sort of pin to press it down.

Hi!
Do You have any app using battery alot in "battery managment" in settings??
If the phone getting hot from the battery side (center of the back panel) so there is something may be really wrong
And if the heat come from the CPU side(near camera) so there is app running at background and use the battery,
Try factory reset, if not helped flash a stock rom with flashtool

Yes but you cant do that yourself you need to take it to sony service center and tell them whats the problem.
If you have warrenty so the repair will be for free but if not so you need to pay for it.
No its not very expensive! Max price will be 50$

Your wifi is showing as on there? Do you have location based wifi on? Turn it off.
Also, do you know about Google services draining battery? Make sure GPS is off, stop the service, unintelligible updates to Google play services & reboot.
Did your phone feel warm when it is turned off? And does it take a very long time to turn it back on after the battery completely drained? I think we have the same problem

Hi
My Sony Xperia Z has had an issue with its screen for a long while now, purchased it about a year ago.
From time to time the screen will not respond to any touch anymore. Power- and Volumebuttons still work.
When it happens i can lockscreen it and it works again,
but sometimes i need to push the power button multiple times til the lockscreen reacts to touch again.
Also sometimes while typing the screen will recognize wrong letters and
those i intended to type become untypable and it will always take the one next to it.
The phone has no water damage, hasnt been dropped etc, im taking very good care of it.
I use a leatherflipcase for it, but the issue occured with or without cover.
Been reading through the internet for a long while now and havnt found any spot on issue as this yet.
I hope someone in this forum might be able to help me.
Thanks in advance!

Well as everyone see in any ROM thread. The dev saying DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!
but it's not a big deal for me
If you do what the introductions saying. You you won't get problems
But if something go wrong so you will get bootloop and can be fixed by flashing stock FTF file and you will loose your data sure so backup first
And DO NOT and I mean DO NOT FLASH ANY ANY ANY OTHER DEVICE'S ROM OR KERNEL!!!!!!! you if you do that so you will loose you device FOREVER!! then it's should do to trash

That sounds quite chinese to me, and im absolutely not fluent at chinese haha
I was hoping there might be a fix or option to help this without having to go so deep into it?
Personally wouldnt wanna risk much, as the phone itself is fine just that it has this issue sometimes =/
Are there other perks that might make flashing more attractive?

Your problem is not exist here I think so the only thing you should try is flashing ROMS it's may not help and if not helped that means you have a hardware or screen issue and need to send it to repair

Hi everyone!
When I receive emails I hear the notifications but I cannot hear sounds with the Walkman or video apps.
I also tried MX Player and YouTube etc.
The volumes are all turned up to maximum! The headphones DO work so I am thinking the internal speaker has broken...
Any advice welcomed!

Xperia Z no audio in walkman or other media application
To solve this problem, plug in and plug out earphones few times As the problem could be with audio routing. I had the same problem and I got it fixed.
Download sound about app go to connectable devices > wired headset settings uncheck wired headset detection. n restart phone
:good:
So I just bought a phone and I am trying to get into recovery etc. I want to install AOSP rom for my Xperia Z.
I can't get into recovery because there is no PINK led for me to start pressing the volume keys.
but is all of that irrelevant?
I can't sign in using my google account, I have to sign using previous owners account. I don't think I'll get that.
Can I myself find out what xperia this is? I can't even be sure of that now. It just says Xperia Z on the backside, it's a massive, 5,7" screen.
are you sure, buddy?
Xperia Z has 5" screen
and there is no Xperia phone that has 5.7" screen

Hello! you were right, 5.5", i measured it against my Note 3 and they looked about the same, so i thought 5.7".
Either way, with the help of a buddy we got into the phone, and all of that works. Now I just have to root it, it's turned out to be a hassle, finding the right drivers so far hasn't yielded any results.
