Well got the sleep of death last night.
Set the Alarm, woke up this morning after the alarm time to find the Z with the notification light blinking but otherwise completely unresponsive.
Had to do a power plus vol + reset.
Anything I can do to track down the cause?
Phone is rooted but bootloader is still locked.
Could be an application.

check carefully applications that u install after root
the apps that need su grant.

Well the only permanent SU grant I've given is to better battery stats.
If it happens again I may try revoking the grant and see if it makes a difference.
I have to add here, I'm regularly getting the Sleep of Death on mine, and it's not rooted, still completely stock... so I'm thinking it's not related to rooting or any kind of root-level process.
Initially I thought it might be to do with the new-fangled 'Stamina' mode - so that's turned off too now, but I'm STILL getting it - however, some days I don't - and there's absolutely no pattern to it at all.
My next step, though I don't want to do it, will be to take it back to factory settings (no installed apps, no accounts, no syncing etc) and see if I still get it then - if I do, then it'll be jolly well back into its little Sony box and back from whence it came toute-suite... (or quickly, if that doesn't mean quickly). LOL.
As an aside, on older Xperia models (was just reading) the Sleep of Death was a 'feature' but when connecting to USB, it was recognised as the QUALCOMM device - I've just plugged my death-sleeping Xperia Z into usb, and I get NOTHING.
Question: Does everyone get a green flashing LED when in Sleep-of-Death? Mine's always green, and flashing around 1Hz (once a second) for around 300ms (I would imagine, haven't timed it!)
Perhaps an Android Update will resolve it....!
Not sure if it will help, but on my old V the sleep of death disappeared when I switched off wifi

It's interesting you say that; as I was away a few days ago, and forgot my charger, so put the phone into Airplane Mode overnight, and for 2 nights, didn't have the Sleep of Death.
Tonight, I will try with no wifi, and see what happens.
Thanks!

Can I ask where did you buy your XZ? like all the people, who have this SOD problem, could you all write, where did you bought your XZs? may be it could clarify thing...
I bought mine in HK about a week now, and nothing like SOD or anything faulty, yet (touch wood, thank god). So I was thinking may be it was one of the earlier batches from manufacturer, that were defected.
Well, mine is UK based, and supplied by CPW (Carphone Warehouse) - fully unbranded, network independent device.
To add to the SoD issue, it happened earlier on without being on charge - and NO notification light flashing - it was, in effect behaving like it was turned off - no LEDs, no screen, no response to buttons. Hard reset (Vol Up+Pwr) fixed it again - 90% battery remaining when it happened.
It's gotta be down to some software related thing... surely...? Just - what?! Roll on 4.2.2

It does seem to be completely random some days I would get 2 SODs other times nothing for 2-3 days. It happened in the first 24hours I bought the phone. Mine was bought in Taiwan CC602, it's completely sold out so no replacement until the next batch arrives. However, the softkey reboot isn't such a big problem for me.
Stamina mode does seem to make it happen more often as well as task killers like ESTask Manager. Mine happened before root and after root. It has only happened when it hasn't been charging.

Mine was from Clove.co.uk, it's a sim free model.
I haven't had the problem since so hopefully it was a once off or at least is pretty rare.
I don't use stamina mode and I usually leave the wifi on.
Got SOD yesterday. At one moment i took the phone and tried to wake it up, but there`s no response from the phone. Set it in charging dock and wait for 15 minutes, still nothing, LED notification was totally off. After hard reset (3 times vibro) phone started fine. Stamina mode is always off, phone is rooted but the BL is factory locked. Bought it officially in Russia, color is black, 13W06.
After Xperia T and Xperia V, “Sleep Of Death” issue, has also appeared on the new Sony Xperia Z. There is nothing official right now, only some testimonials, from people who own the device, in forums and blogs.They experienced this issue with the Android 4.1.2 – Build 10.1.A.1.350 installed.
I have ordered Xperia Z and waiting eagerly for it.. but after knowing all these things.. I am very much worried.. I sold my beautiful Arc to buy this grand cell.. :crying:
This has happened to me too, the first time was within 24 hours after taking it out of the box. So far it has happened like 3 times in a week. 2 times it was overnight and the other time it was within 30 mins of the last use. I'm currently testing if turning wifi off before I go to sleep would make the problem go away but I'm not sure on that yet.

Hey guys,
just flashed purexaduio over CM10.1...worked fine so far so i went under the show and let my One do my entertainment and then...all of a sudden...music stopped. Phone powered off. Battery is full, but no LED appears when plugged in. I can try to power it on/off (down't know in which state it actually is)
adb devices - shows nothing....
does someone has an idea?

Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Does it reset or the capacitive buttons flash. Try the power and the volume down for 30 seconds.
Doubt you bricked it

nope...the only thing my One does is nothing....
no charging LED, no capacitive buttons, which flashes...no vibrations....
the only thing i can face is, that my phone is quite warm, given the fact that it actually does nothing
Happened to me too, complete hardware failure. Im investigating now. Not too happy
Yeah, I'm having the same issues. No pureaudio flash, but was using CM10.1. Hoping someone finds a resolve soon!
actually i'm not at home this weekend, so i cannot try around. but it would be great if somehase has a solution until tuesday xD

So far a solution seems distant. It seems to be complete hardware failure hence the lack of charging led and capacitive button emits. I would suggest going through the process of replacement as a fix is unlikely without a jtag device.

I spoke with an HTC employee today - the power supply in the phone appears to be destroyed. This apparently comes from using third party cables, but it is covered under warranty...
This appears to be a complete hardware failure. Not software related, sadly. Really turns me off from getting another One, I may see if Telus will exchange an S4 for me instead. :/

Do someone know where i have to send in my One in Germany?
And what i have to do etc?
well i just went to t-com store today and handed it in :/
now waiting for "repair"
This morning I went to get my phone from it's charger, but the screen wouldn't wake. Then I realised it wouldn't even boot. I removed the battery for a while and tried again, I got the LG logo spinning for a while but still nothing else.
I keep trying holding volume down with the power for a while, power up etc, but nothing gets it to boot. Any ideas? I'm running the stock v.20a as far as I remember.
Thanks!

I bought it impatiently from Amazon.de from germany. I don't think the warranty counts, when I had a proximity sensor problem they wouldn't help me!
Phew - found it was just the charger that was at fault! Completely dead battery was all - a different charger and now it's coming back to life!

If it's not even booting properly they have to repair it (if you didn't change anything).
If they don't want to, try yo get a manager or something similar

My Xperia Z started to act weird from two days ago, when it started to vibrate during all the time.
I restarted the phone,discharged the battery and recharged it again but it does not help me at all. It keeps vibrating even when the phone is turned off and it seems that it will never stop.
Did you guys had any similar issue?
Plzzz somebody help me:crying::crying::crying:
Did you tried a hard reset?(hold power and Vol Up at least 15 seconds)
And if i understand right, it vibrates too if you shut it down, or only from boot on?

No,not immersed in water.
I now that it seems crazy but the problem started in my pocket when the phone was together with my bio-metric passport for a couple of hours. Maybe it s caused from the chip of the passport?!
I want to share another fact with you:
Always before having this issue when I was pressing the phone from both sides with two fingers close to the menu button it starts vibrating but stops immediately after releasing it. I don't know if it happens to all Xperia Z mobile phones.

Doesn't happen on mine.
Maybe you should Send it to a Service Center or go to the shop where you bought it and ask for warranty. Did you Already tried to re-flash Stock Rom using FT?
Try flashing an old 4.1.1 one, it could be the NFC sensor. The downgrade will Also downgrade the NFC software. It may help.
If I should upload mine 4.1.1. ftf, just ask.

no, NFC does not interact with vibrator motor. That two devices is so separated
Sony must replace your phone in any reason. That's definitely sony fault.
Just had the same problem, My sony Z is a repaired one just over a month old. It is Always in a Leather Case. Just 15 min ago the Phone just started vibrating (thought it was a call) non stop. Turned the Phone off but didn't stop. Turned it on again but nothing changed.
meanwhile searched the web for solutions, only thing i could find that it was hardware related.
Since the Phone is little to big for my pocket i thought it could be from flexing the Phone or something like that. So i put it back in it's case, and put it flat on my hand and gave it a firm tap on the back with my other hand. The 2nd try was succesfull and the Phone stopped vibrating.
Checked if normal vibration still works and found no problems.
My experience with the latest Phones is getting worse with every model they (HTC / Sony) release. Feels like the phones suffer more and more from stupid (hardware) problems. Looks like the Urge of releasing a new model every half year is showing its flaws...
Mine vibrating too and getting worse!
The store guy told me it was the cover I had it in. Bollocks. The cover has been off for two weeks and still it vibrates! Seems to be worse if I charge it via a USB charger in my car. Related perhaps? I just tried the suggested holding down of power and volume and it has stopped vibrating. Fingers crossed! Glad I'm not the only one but need a fix
same thing here. my phone is vibrating RIGHT NOW!
my z3 is dual sim model the D6633. only 2 weeks old.
the phone first stop working on the touch screen. phone would not react to any finger. so when its locked, i can use the camera button to wake up and take pictures. still will not respond when i touch it.
then the phone getting warm at top area near the headphone.
so i google it how to turn off z3 with button, so i did, power+ volume
when phone turn back on, no screen. only a black screen with back lighting on. i can tell when i put phone right infront my eye.
then the phone start vibrate!!! none stop vibrate.
at this moment, i CAN turn off the phone with power+ volume but WON'T stop the vibrate.
really need a help, im in US and purchase this Z3 from NEWEGG and it is a DUAL SIM model, can i get warranty in SONY retail store????
GOD! why me
vibration problem
Hello,
I had the same problem.
Sony claims that there products are waterproof.
We as customers like that and want to try it out.
Maybe not in a swimming pool but at least clean it under de faucet.
That should be no problem, it is waterproof right!!!
After a while this vibration problem occur to your device.
Because none of these solutions help to stop this problem I decide to open my Xperia Z2.
My surprise was that I saw very small tracks of water inside!
Then I put it in the hot sun while it was open en the problem disappeared.
My conclusion:
It is NOT waterproof en a small short circuit causes the vibration problem.
I have a carrier bell C6906, anyone else having problems with .257 firmware it randomly shuts off and I had to hold power key to turn back on again, it seems does that randomly everyday when the phone is on standby (unplug), and with .534 firmware the phone randomly shut off (not as much as .257) and it doesn't turn back on with power button, I had to hold down vol up + power key to boot the phone back up, should I be worry about this problem or its firmware issue, should I bring back for warranty? and the viewing angle is garbage I just tilt 30 degrees the colors are washed out, but no yellow tint.

Bring it in to get replaced. The sooner the better. There's no point in dealing with an issues that's been there since the time you got the phone. I've had mine for 3 weeks now and have had no problems.

I called bell tech support they advice me to do a DOA replacement in bell store, since the phone is less than 30 days old, sucks my phone is only 17 days old and they wont replace it with a black one because its passed 14 days policy even though I got a defective unit at purchase, they have to replace it with same color white as my previous one
I have no problem like that either,

I'm on EE in the UK but running monx rom. My phone has rebooted itself once per day, my friends Z1 which is also in the UK on three has this same issue, I think it's just bad software on Sony's part, probably will be fixed in the future.
Saying that i've only had the phone since yesterday and it's not very welcoming for something like this to happen.

Nope the phone did it before it was rooted, also my friends is not rooted and has not been tampered with, as i said i think it's a Sony thing, hopefully i'm wrong.
BH900LM, the screen is better . Don't notice the dots as much previous one, not sure if they gonna blame me for damage yet have to go and see, this display is way better than previous the white is so white compared last product and the viewing angle is improved a little, I wish this device didn't have a tiny chip at the back I would've kept this. I hope my next replacement is as good as this one minus the broken corner hah

I am at my wits end with android devices. I came from a problematic lg optimus g e973 to the z1 only to have constant shutdowns. Where the hell is the quality control on these $700 devices we buy? I'm stock, not rooted, .534 and getting 1-2 shutdowns a day. I have to pop open the sim card cover and press and hold the little red button in order to get my phone to power off then I can power it on normally. This is getting ridiculous.

I no longer have the device, sold it but if I remember correctly, u open pc companion and connect your device and click on update, it will say you already have latest software, just click on repair device and follow the instruction

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have already carried out the repair procedure in pc companion, but It doesn't downgrade s/w.
And the other procedure you linked also say I need to downgrade if mine has latest s/w, but as I say, I have no previous stock bell ftf file. The only ftf file I can get is Rogers stock.
Did you do with Rogers stock?
