Hello,
the screen of my six month old Kaiser all of a sudden is 'washed out' and it's almost impossible to read something on it. See the attached pictures. I cannot find any cracks on the screen, and yes, I handled it reasonably carefully, never dropped it.
I think it's not under guarantee anymore, so if anyone has advice how to remedy this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332236&highlight=washed+out You may have to get it exchanged.
Thanks, Sherpa. I brought it to the HTC service center here in Singapore and they replaced the screen for some 80USD in one day (it wasn't under guarantee here).

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

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)

I bought xperia sp in may this year and works perfectly .. No issues at all .. i don`t know what to say.. maybe you have a bad luck or something like that .. Before xperia SP i had an xperia arc S and xperia S .. and works very well to .. No problems with anyone of them.. For me i like sony much than samsung or iphone.. This is my personal opinion .. take it bak to guarantee if you bought it new..
Sorry for my bad english
Get you bud to a repair centre. You have at least year warranty. And if your phone did not fallen as you stated it will be repaired under warrenty..
Do some research before you write your angry here
Complaining in here won't help you, and neither does swearing.
I see this thread is leading nowhere, so: thread closed
Hello All,
My Z1 has recently begun to give off a sort of feedback when it vibrates (via the speakers).
I've ran diagnostic tests on my phone and all tests seem to come back positive and error-free.
However, when I run the Vibration test, sometimes the vibrator works perfectly fine (for about two runs), and then it vibrates with the negative "ZzzzzZzzZ" sound.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with their Z1? Perhaps someone else (if anyone is experiencing it as well) can further elaborate on the issue. Would really like to get this issue fixed without having to send it back to Sony :crying:
I have the same problem with my Z1 (6903). There's a weird buzzing sound from the speaker right after the vibrator activate. Would love to be able to fix this without sending to Sony as well.

Guys i had same problem few weeks back, then two days back vibrator stopped working and this zzzzzzzzzzzz sound was the only thing i can notice. So went to center and today got it replaced. So no more workarounds for this issue. Go to center and get it replaced.

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I live in the Bahamas, so doing that is pretty difficult for me at the moment. Were you able to go to any Sony store, or did you have to go directly to a service center? How long did you have to wait for your replacement?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I submitted my phone yesterday morning and person in charge told me they will try to do any sort of update first and if still there is an issue, they will replace it. Today morning when i went there, he told issue is not sorted wait for 10 minutes. and then i got new brand replacement in 15-20 minutes..:laugh:
I will suggest you to go directly to service center.

Damn. Lol that is a toughie. Only service center I know of in the US is located in Texas :/
Edit: There are actually 4 locations; NJ, LA, Texas and San Jose, Cali.

Ohhh that sounds tooooo far from your location. Try repair your phone via SUS or PCC. But first take full backup. Hope this can solve your issue. Though chances are very less.

Yeahh, I doubt it would fix my prob. I'm going to have to tough it out till I can get up to NJ at some point (hopefully before my warranty expires ).
Yeah All the best for that mate.
Really found my self lucky that i have to travel just 10-12 minutes to reach service center
Yeah, thanks for replying to my thread though..thought I was the only one experiencing this issue.

I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem...
Hi, I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem. My phone is about 6 months old and I've been having this noisy vibration squeak for at lease 6 weeks now. I'm running slimkit evo 8.1 on a unlocked bootloader. Before I try to get it fixed by Sony, do I need to reset back to stock and lock my bootloader?
Could anyone give me some pointer to what I could say to get the phone exchanged for a brand new one? I can't be without a phone for 2-3 weeks (estimated service time by resale store).
I have a 5 months old z1, and ive had this issue since the first month i bought it....i guess its a weak point, which is pity for a flag**** phone...

Hi macooz,
Sorry for the late reply. If you are sending it back to Sony, you should always revert back to Stock, as custom firmwares void your warranty.
You could simply tell them that your Vibration Motor is not functioning properly (giving off a squeaky noise instead of an actual vibration) and you would like for it to be either repaired / replaced or have your entire phone exchanged for a new one.

I agree with you. Issue is that because the phone is encased in gorilla glass, it makes it a bit difficult to change any parts on your own. Disassembly videos are available on YouTube, but who wants to take the risk of breaking their phone's casing and then have to replace additional parts?

Hi,
No work around , besides trying to do it yourself and losing your warranty.
Was without my phone for a month and a half. Eventually got it replaced.

Unfortunately, I agree with Soka on this one. I have had the replacement Vibrator for months now, but a little reluctant to open my device as it requires heating and having to purchase new adhesives and so on. I am getting those items in the very near future though, so I'm going to go ahead and do it!
My best piece of advice would be to purchase a replacement back (in case you crack / break your original one while removing it) and replacement adhesives before actually performing the DIY Fix.
Hi there Im facing this problem too, I open a new thread but then @soka pointed me to this one, I record a video from the sound
they had already replace the vibrator and the main board, but the issue still continue, here is the thread I open:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/problem-sound-vibrator-t2922957
Hope to get fixed or replaced soon
Well, finally fixed my vibrator problem. I opened the back of my phone using a Hot Air Gun and pry tools, then replaced the vibrator module. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only valid solution.

As no one is paying attention to the old thread I am seeking for a fix/solution to the white noise/static coming out of the speakers while the battery is below 40-45%
It's quite noticeable when watching youtube videos and having the volume around 10-20%. I've read that installing vipermod fixes the issues but not for me. I really don't want to RMA the phone as everything else is fine and i've also read that someone exchanged their phones 4-5 times and still has the problem. Does custom rom fix the problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Is it hardware or software related?

I have noticed it with notification sounds only. I don't use the phone speakers often because I cast everything. Never bothered me enough to RMA though. I've had mine since November release.
Maybe i'll have to admit myself defeated by Google and Motorola then :crying:

Motorola uses the same repair center the retailer use...living in Europe sucks. Motorla does not handle repairs, they let a third party handles repairs in Europe (at least for Sweden)
I know now that the issue is 99% a software issue. The problem does not occur when using the earpiece and taking a call. Even if the battery is 5%. But if I use the speakerphone I can hear a slight static noise but not as much when watching YouTube
I would really appreciate if someone with the same problem found a solution or workaround until Google sort their **** together
