NFC problem - Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers

Hi everybody!
I have a problem on my Sony xz3 I bought one month ago and I just realized NFC was "not supported", as nfc check says.
In configuration, there is a nfc menu but nothing in it.
I didn't modify anything and I bought it re furnished.
Do you think there is something I could try before asking an exchange?
Hope to hear from you soon
Laurent

chances are that it is a Japanese vibrant of the phone and was flashed to a other region firmware. Previous user remove nfc system apk to prevent battery drain
You may need to reflash the original region firmware

First of all, thank you very much for your answer!!!
Would you accept to tell me how to proceed?
Best regards,
Laurent

I must add that I used sony pc companion to renew the "firmware" but it didnt change anything.... But, if I understand what you say, it might be a foreign phone not matching with the version?

And my XZ3 model is H8416 with android 10
Hope it helps...

I have the same problem. I bought a refurished phone from back market, even if the vendor is a spanish reseller (iREPACK). I've run the Device Info HW app, too, and now? Thank you for the reply!

I finally was refunded and bought a fully working nfc xz3 from a back market seller called
Concord Service Center
in Romania
Happy!

I just wanted to post that I got hit with one of these too.
A cheap XZ3... $245Aus on eBay... which I bought to tide me over until I could buy a more expensive phone.
On the back is says it's an SOV39. A Japanese phone locked to "au by KDDI". But it is refirmware'd to H8416. The version for USA and much of Europe.
And yeah, you use it for a day and it seems fine, until you find out the NFC doesn't work and the Bluetooth is really flaky.
(And it just sucks that they didn't implement proper Gestures in Sony's Android 10)
So, the obvious moral of the story is beware of super cheap XZ3 phones.

Pre Production Kaiser - I have a question

Hello everybody,
I'm looking into buying a Kaiser and I came across this offer. The owner explained this:
the phone is still in working order but just lacks some of the better components that are not installed like the tytn 2 as your propably aware supports video calling and hsdpa access my phone does'nt. Also the bluetooth function does'nt work as it should (i can access other phones but when you come to pair the device with another, that does'nt work) You see i originally bought this phone before they were generally available in the shops,on ebay, which i believe came from a seller who worked in a T-mobile store who had access to this particular phone who then promptly sold to me,and that this phone was a " pre production model " hence it not working as you might expect. about the disc that you asked about i never recieved one with this phone. I hope this answers your questions, but as i say the phone is in working order for all other aspects.I believe a re install of windows mobile 6 should resolve these issues. Thanks for your question hope all this helps please do not hesitate to ask anymore subzero1972

He doesn't have any additional info like ROM/Bootloader/SPL. What do you think guys? Can the issues be repaired with just a rom flash? Or should I look for another Kaiser?

Phone not allowed MM #6

I just received this error this morning. I did everything i could. Hard reset and factory reset, still no good. I also checked my SIM info. There is no x mark .I bought it in Hong kong and its been working for 3 months now. But today i can access any network. Please help
Have you tried repairing it thru PC Companion? The error may be due to software crash. Try repairing it using the PC Companion.

That means Sim Card Rejected because the IMEI is reported stolen and the phone is barred by the network...Where did you REALLY get this phone?

No, the IMEI is on the Phone, this phone is tagged as stolen you can forget this phone, you wont be able to use it anymore, anyway your question is really embarassing, do you really think that's you can stole a phone and use it just by changing the sim card? What kind of person are you!

There is nothing he can do especially with a phone bought in Hong Kong, i'm not sure they'll refund him, admitting that he really has bought the phone and not stolen it.

Sadly no, when the IMEI is tagged as stolen there is nothing you can do, and of course the phone is stolen, try to get your money back ot cry.
Anyway Macau? You just said previously in Hong Kong, why your explanations look likes lies?

Or it could simply be a problem with the SIM card. You also get that error when trying to use a different SIM when the Phone is locked.

I also got the XZ from Fortress in HK and this morning around 10am I got the MM #6 error.
Just called Sony few hours ago and follow their instruction to repair the phone by PC companion but still got the same message.
I guess we need to call fortress about this issue
It is impossible that the phone was stolen, Fortress is quite a famous gadget in HK and I have my invoice on hand.

Absolutely not, the IMEI of the PHONE is tagged as stolen, not the sim card, you can put whatever sim card into it, you'll always get this error.
And Famous HK store or not the phone is tagged as stolen, the IMEI is blacklisted, no one can help you with that, even Sony can't bypass that and know that there is nothing to do if the IMEI is blacklisted, so maybe it's not all famous as it's pretend to be. Try to get your money back is the best option.

not for tomorrow, should have time on Friday night.

Regardless of what Qualquek says, I choose to believe you. He shouldn't be so quick to point fingers at people anyway, it's kinda rude and offensive.
As for the problem, I have no idea, but if it is an imei block, purchase a broken Z, or go to a phone store ask if you can see their phone recycling bin. Go to a repair shop (unofficial one) ask them to swap the Cpu / main chip or do it yourself.
(This is last resort, try to get it replaced or unblocked as much as you can)

you are from PH, right?
I found others have same problem also from PH in sony's support forum.
This thread has coloured me curious.
WHERE are you both (which country) when you are seeing this message?
All the mention of buying them in HK, along with talk of you not being there still, if you're in different countries, IMEI blacklist is unlikely, this happens per country usually.
There is the possibility (to the guy making accusations) that the entire truck load of phones that particular store is selling was stolen, and the whole lot has been blacklisted.
Also, it's not impossible that this was done in error. The system relies on humans to do that blacklisting, and humans are far from infallible. It is, however, highly unlikely.
Either way, to the guys with the issue, if your IMEI really is blacklisted (and it's not a hardware/software fault somewhere in the process) you can't fix it, no amount of SIM changing or firmware flashing will help you. Go back to the store you purchased it from and ask for a refund.

I got that error when I was waiting for my number to transfer, I also get that error when if I put an old SIM in my Ray so you don't know what you're on about if you're claiming you only get this error when the Phone has been barred.

A similar thing happened to a user on here, don't remember the exact details but they bought their brand new Z from Amazon which had an issue, long story short they weren't the only one and it was all Phones from one particular trader.
EDIT: Oh, mistook the #6 error for the #2, my bad, but some googling, first link in fact found THIS, so anyone with a genuine issue give it a try.

Considering a Z1, some questions

Hey guys,
I am thinking to get a Z1, I am not living in the US (I live in Hong Kong) and here're my options:
- Asia Version (not Japan/Hong Kong/China)
Concern:
The quality (Some says the quality isn't as good)
The firmware upgrade (maybe they will come slower)
- USA version
Concern:
It needs unlocking
Both of which are same price, which is around $150 cheaper than every other version.
So my questions are:
Is unlocking the carrier lock difficult/unsafe?
I don't plan to use it for 4G. Is there anything else I should be aware of when I look to buy a Z1?
thanks for reading anyway, hope to get some answers to help me out

Unlocking is very easy and safe, and will be unlocked permanently.
thanks but I can't find a cheap unbranded Z1, they cost just as much as the Hong Kong version.
I guess US version is the safer option to go then?

It's worth knowing that until Sony fixes it, there is a problem with the camera breaking when the bootloader is unlocked.

He was saing about Carrer Lock. So I do not mentioned that. They have nothing in common. Unlock Bootloader is necessary only to flash custom roms with custom kernels.That's all.

Don't buy Z1 as there are many faulty units out there. It's a hit or miss on a good or sucky unit

I got mine fromm Singapore, is it Asia version? Dunno anyhow its provlem free except for the touch ossue that everyone have...
Screen is pretty, great blacks, device runs fast and and doesnt over heat. My serial is bh90l... Is that Asia version?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
so i have made my decision to just buy the japanese version.
The screen apparently is more red (he showed me a hk version and a japanese version) which I like a bit more.
It comes with a charging dock and a 32GB internal memory which I like a lot.
Problem:
Updating can get very troublesome, I think I will have to stuck with the not so good firmware (comes with the .534 firmware and not the .213, what's worse is that I don't think i will ever get the .213)
other than that, the phone is perfect, I am still playing around with the camera thoguh

Was sold a retail mode Huawei P9 and I want to swap to stock ROM [UK]

Back story:
I bought a Huawei P9 from cash converters online, everything worked fine except the battery wouldn't go past 72%. I spoke to Huawei via their live chat who sent me a baggy to send it off to "Sbe" under warranty. Sbe then sent me a letter saying it's not in warranty because it's in Carphone Warehouse retail demo mode. I had to pay Sbe £15 in order to get my phone back and hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. I went to Carphone Warehouse and gave them all the phone's information and they said it isn't blacklisted, but that they couldn't "fix" it for me either.
I love the phone, I really do...and I don't want to send it off again for a refund, I've been reading up on it and there's been stuff about bootloaders and rooting, I have no idea what any of this stuff is...but the Dload flashing method seems like something I could manage without much hassle.
Actual question:
The phone is an EVA-L09, I just want to know which ROM I should use, I've downloaded "P9 EVA-L09 B136" based on a similar post but it's a year old and so might not be right.
I'm sorry that I'm a noob about this stuff and things might be wrong, but I need help and this seems like the place to get it.
Thank you, Thorpy
P.S If someone does reply with a link to the correct rom to use, would I need to format the micro SD?

When you get the phone back, look in Settings -> About Phone and see what build number you have there. This will give you a clue as to which ROM you should flash.
Also, try enabling Developer Options and looking for Demo mode - could be something as simple as toggling this on/off?
Peace...

US Model XZ1 Compact (from amazon) Fingerprint Sensor Working Out of Box

Just got the device. I had planned on flashing a combination of firmware to enable the fingerprint sensor AND keep T-mobile wifi calling/vo-lte functional before later rooting it. At this point however I have just turned it on to make sure it works and verify wifi calling works.
To my surprise the fingerprint sensor is working out of the box. Can you think of any reason why this would occur?
Obviously I was not surprised at all that i can't seem to enable wifi calling or vo-lte. Does this mean I have an international firmware flashed right out of the box?

Maybe you didn't receive a US device or were sold a used device. Was the box sealed? Was is purchased directly from Amazon and not supplied by a third-party seller? From what I can tell Amazon itself does not seem to be selling those, only selling copies supplied by third-parties.
If box was not sealed, I'd say chances of it being a new phone are unlikely. Maybe like-new refurbished/used. That's very common.
I thought that was odd. The box wasn't sealed. Got it for 399 but it didn't say it was refurbished.
Does this mean battery life will be be garbage? That's my biggest fear with used. I baby my batteries.
I'm gonna reflash the firmware but if I can't get it to work I'm going to have them send me another.
New XZ1 Compact US Warranty/Latin American Firmware
So I checked the seller listing. Claims that it is "new" and "us warranty."
I've contacted Sony to see if they can give me any information on the device. I was hoping I could tell if it was refurbished based on the IMEI but doesn't look like that's possible.
I've reached out to the seller to see what they say and give them the opportunity to make it right.
However I did some digging with the secret phone codes... to find the firmware cda number. I cross referenced it with xperifirm. Turns out it's a generic latin american firmware. I'm trying to give the seller the benefit of the doubt, but I can't fathom any reason latin american firmware should be present on a new us warrantied device.
I'm going to wait to see what they say. It's killing me because I want to start customizing it.

I think I may have bought from the same seller you have. Did you return the phone or did you do something else? I called Sony too but from what they are telling me if i understood them right, If i change the latin american firmware to US firmware, I might lose my warranty.

Likely you won't have any warranty anyway as it isn't a US based device. Who knows?
I kept it anyway since I can't seem to find a new US device for a good price. I'm not pleased with that company though. I wanted them to send me a guaranteed new model since it came unsealed, with the warranty expiring before a year past my purchase date, and since I talked to sony and named they might have the IMEI logged. But they wanted me to first return the device and then they'd send out a new one. Had that happen too many times and then there is no replacement. What really upset me was that they fully acknowledged they are selling Non-US models but never changed the listing and would not give a discount for the less than authentic product.
I notified Amazon of the fraudulent ad. I doubt it will do anything. Perhaps you should do the same.
My thought about warranty is you could always play dumb with Sony and then the company you bought it from might actually be liable since they sold it as a US warrantied device. I wouldn't hold my breath though. In my case I'm going to unlock the bootloader, root it, etc so the chances of me sending it to Sony are very slim.
Do you ever notice how the manufacturer is always careful to say that you "Might lose your warranty"?
I always interpret that as it is probable that you will be denied a warranty claim until you get really angry with them and only then do you get what you deserve at the expense of your blood pressure rising excessively and causing the support rep to hate his/her job even more.
Eh, I got the same device from an Amazon reseller back in April. It was the Mexican firmware and all I had to do was change the language. FPS worked great out of the box so I didn't complain. The battery still works great to this day, and it was a flawlessly new device when it was delivered.
In late 2017 I flashed an X Compact to the UK firmware when I bought it used last year. Days later a portion of the screen died exactly one week before the warranty ended. I called up Sony to get an RMA # and after going through their diagnostics process all they asked was where I purchased the device from. I just said "Best Buy" and no other questions were asked, they gave me an RMA. I sent them the UK-flashed X Compact, they simply re-flashed it to the US firmware and fixed the screen so it worked like new.
I was pleased Sony didn't try to weasel out of fixing it, even though they could have argued their case. Definitely did NOT have that experience with LG when my US-bought Nexus 5 broke under warranty.

That's a bit annoying. Anyway, I'll report the seller too. I mean the phone looks like it's working great but because of the price, it's kinda annoying me a bit that I paid that price for a non brand new phone. I mean if they refund me a little bit, i think i'd be okay with it. They even emailed me back before I bought it saying that it does have US Warranty.
Also can anyone confirm if I change the firmware to the US firmware that doing that doesn't really remove the warranty? I mean i'm not rooting it or anything yet. Also, if I use like a UK firmware, would T-Mobile VoLTE and Wifi Calling work so that I can keep the fingerprint scanner?

No one here can confirm it, only provide anecdotal evidence. My post above says Sony will still honor the warranty
