The other day my Z3 Compact drained completely, and ever since then it has been acting weird. After I drained it completely I was able to charge it fine and use it for the day, and I plugged it in at night. When I woke up, it wouldn't turn on or respond to anything I did. I tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds, holding the power button and volume up button, pressing the yellow reset button, plugging it into the computer and running the repair software, nothing would get it to work. Finally today it turned on when I plugged it into my computer, but it's still acting weird. I was unable to update it using the Sony Bridge software, and it is charging extremely slowly. The LED indicator is red, even though the phone is on now and says it's at 50% battery.
Any thoughts?

I had to reboot mine in to flash mode in order for mine to come back up. I had to hold the down volume (or up cannot remember right now) + power for a minute nearly. Then it rebooted correctly into normal mode.

So I ended up calling AT&T and they went ahead and shipped me a new MAHD.
I took the dead phone to work and tried charging with my work charger, and now it works! When it finally turned on, the battery level was at 3%. So lesson learned: Do not let your battery drain to 1%!

I am having the same problem. I can get the boot screen up if i hold the buttons in at a certain time while the phone is plugged in and attempting to turn on. however, the phone cuts out no matter what and repeats the cycle even with the boot screen up. during the few seconds i can get the boot screen up, i'm unable to select an option, only scroll up or down and highlight them. then the phone cuts out and 20 secs. later attempts to turn on again but never gets past the motorola icon. Any suggestions? I originally thought it was the battery so i ordered one and installed it correctly and charged it, but still the same thing is happening. When plugged into a pc, charge light comes on but phone won't attempt to turn on....?????????

Our phone doesn't receive power from the cable until it's fully booted. Factory cables are a good work around.

I have the same problem.
I think it's impossible to fix.
I tested with original charger.
I have also tried every possible button combinations.
and does not start
Has anyone been able to fix it?
So I took my charger with me to class today because my phone was almost dead. As it was charging I began to fiddle with it ex: go on reddit . Suddenly The phone began to lag and the screen shut off. I unplugged it and began to hold down the power button.... Had it held down for about a minute and still no results. The charging light is stuck green even when off the charger and the navigation buttons are stuck on. When holding down the power button the navigation buttons would also flash as it normally does but im not getting any feedback from the device. Anyone have any solutions? I need my phone to be working asap. If there isnt any hope i may as well upgrade.
Little update: I let the battery die out and plugged it into the charger. After half hour it still wouldn't turn on. Several hours after that I found it on and running. Very strange....
Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted
Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.
Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.
Hi,
My Z3c recently suffers this problem that the phone may turns off itself all of a sudden,
I have rooted it few months ago and it's still running 4.4.4 until now.
It first happened a day before, I charged it for a while (not for long perhaps half hour) and then unplugged it from the charger to browse some websites before sleep, but then it turned off automatically without any notice, I tried to turn it on again but it just showed me the 'Sony' and then gone black screen again, I thought it was battery running out so I plugged it back to charger, it showed that 48% battery left, then I tried to turn it on (both volume button+power on button or pressing power on button only) again but still nothing just blackness, so i just simply charged it and went to bed. I checked it the morning after, still couldn't turn on, so i unplugged it, waited for like couple hours then finally I can turn it on but the phone only got 16% battery left.
It happened twice today, blackout during charging, unplug it from charger, wait for like 30 mins ish then it'd be okay to power on.
when I try to turn it on or force power on it, it'll still vibrant as usual but just nothing to show on screen when the problem occurs
does anyone know if it's hardware or software problem? would that be solved if I just factory reset it or I must take it to sony care centre?
Hi all,
plugged my phone in overnight to charge as usual. Woke up this morning and it was off. I presumed it hadn't charged properly so plugged it into multiple other chargers/battery packs etc. and nothing is happening.
I have it plugged in right now and it's just all black and the charging light isn't even on.
If I press the power button, the charging light comes on, stays on for a few seconds then goes off.
If I press and hold the power button then nothing. If I press and hold the power+UP nothing happens, if I press and hold the power+DOWN nothing happens at all.
My 'guess' is that the battery is so knackered (3yr old phone) that it's depletion overnight just emptied the battery so much that it just wont recover now and take any charge.
Looking for any and all suggestions of things I can try.
Hold power, volup, and voldown simultaneously.
Try connect it to computer, boot in flash mode and flash FW via FlashTool. Possible is that the FW got messed up... everything is possible.
Managed to get it going finally. Wouldn't charge, didn't anything. Plugged it into PC, loaded flashtool and it recognised it. Nothing happened though so was talking to tech support and magically after like half an hour talking to them it suddenly booted with 1% battery life.
It'd now charged and running ok
