Yesterday, i've noticed that when i was moving some windows, they were flickering.. . I thought it was an update due soon and carried on. Tonight, I opened the phone, and ... A white stip in the middle just appeared ! ! year sharp after I bought it. I'm starting to wonder if that is why it is not sold out of China, because warranty periods are two years in the Eu and Australia. I'm considering repairing it and found the screen on Ali or ebay. Anyone with similar experience, please share your feedback.
Nooooo, bro' what the hell !!!

This handset is less than a year old, why not just send it back for software upgrade?? As you are from the UK also, not many people do know this but all mobile phones now have a 24 month warranty (they dont tell you this to stop you from taking your phone back but this is EU law)
just found out this is a world wide problem is so bad that some operators who sold the phone are asking for there return!!

glad we can get around theses problems!!
Hi all
quite some time ago I killed a good 20% of my digitizer - bottom right corner where on screen keyboard is grrr.
Being in NZ I had a hard time finding anyone that would repair it for a reasonable cost etc. This phone is not native to NZ - parallel import.
Fired an e-mail back to a local supplier to touch base on an old quote and almost fell off my chair to find they had a spare screen/digitizer/keyboard/slider etc "second hand" for $90 NZD.
BOOM jumped on that, parts arrived I swear they are brand new !
Took it apart following a video guide, 60mins or so later she is as good as new
Like really new, never realised just how worn my keyboard was :/
WOHU
If anyone needs help with such things be sure to ask I can help where possible

How about this: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-3/530813-motorola-droid-3-screen-repair-guide.html
Congrats!! My D3 took a nosedive onto the concrete a few weeks back, scared the crap out of me... I thought for sure I'd busted my screen, but these phones are built like tanks.
nice to hear others have succeeded with repairs
apologies for no response, thought I was to be notified of replies :/ apparently not!
Hi all just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this happening before. I got the XZ on the day of release and yesterday when I took it off charge i noticed a crack in the LCD. The phone has no physical damage whatsoever, no cracked glass or chip or anything, its in new condition. I'm particularly careful with my phone and do not recall it ever being dropped or misused. Any advice?
Sorry i am unallowed to post a link so i have attached a photo

Thanks
Never heard of an cracked LCD on the XZ ? but mine and some other people having a spontaneously cracked glass. Als got the XZ on the day of release (Netherlands) So welcome to the club. Feel sorry for you too. Lets get united to get our point at SONY.
facebook - XperiaZScreenIssueCommunity - hope this helps ones there are a lot of participants evolved to make a statement.
mine just cracked now , just like that very wierd
and at the same place actually , gonna take it to service center tomorrow hope they dont charge a fortune for it..
just returning from service center defnitely not happy , for a small crack caused by heat they are saying I need to pay 650$ to replace screen , very shocking and unreasonable. I have escalated to the SONY customer support and they should contact me back today or monday.. guys anyone else had this problem ?

Took 3 weeks but Sony did fix it, i mentioned several times the phone was subject to no physical damage, tbh i didnt have to put up much of a fight it just took a lifetime to get my phone back. Its like brand new again.
Hope you get yours sorted.

Hi I got my xperia z in March and on new years day the phone screen broke in my pocket with a hairline crack and became unusable. I have a very nice phone case to try stop things like that from happening. Anyways I sent my phone in to repair and they told me it would cost R3500 to fix (321.69$). I live in South Africa and when ever I try phone around to get more help they just redirect me to the next person who can not help me. What can I do any help thanks

You can repair it yourself, I think that's the best thing you can do if you don't want to pay that much.
Only downside is that there is a big chance that your phone isn't 'waterproof' anymore after you've fixed it.
Here is a tutorial:

And a place where you can buy parts:

Pretty pricey, but by far not as pricey as getting it repaired.
There are more places you can buy prats like Ebay.
Hello
Hi. I am from Romania and i bought 3 weeks ago a Sony Xperia Z3 from Germany. I have guarantee. Yesterday i saw that all the back glass from my phone is crashed. My phone didn`t fall down on the floor or something like this. I read on network many problems like this and i know that the problem is from my pocket. I don`t know that guarantee will repair this thing. What do you think?

I have seen same issue with T2 ultra in my friend's phone .. The display cracked inside pocket.... I thing that some kind of force applied to it while my frnd handling his bike with the phone inside the pocket....
And here in India it cost around Rs. 10,000 to fix it...
Hi there,
There are already threads about the "not-100%-water-proofness" of our wonderful z3c. Those are mostly about how disappointed peeps are, but what I would like to know is if the phone got replaced or not. Unfortunately, some weeks ago, even after doing the pressure test, my beloved Z3c died short after taking 2 photos in the pool.
I have two simple questions:
1. In case you have sent in the phone due to water-damage, has it been replaced by Sony?
2. In which country/area do you live (just to see if Sony's policy changes depending on geography)
Thanks!
I got a new one, i put my phone into a pool and i was taking pictures and suddenly it turned off so i put my phone into rice for 3 weeks untill Sony give me a response about... then i had to send my phone to the Sony Factory near my city and less than a week i got a new one I'm from Acapulco, Mexico

You haven't been cliff diving, have you?
November 2014, my phone drown within 20 minutes when I used it for a movie and pictures in a 1,5meter pool (just like the commercial).
When I got back home after my holiday, I contacted Sony and the seller (T-Mobile). After 3 weeks I received a brand new phone with a new invoice and warranty.
Sony solved it completely for me.
(I'm from The Netherlands)
All I got back from Sony in Sweden was: your phone is water damaged, we can't repair it and therefore can't do anything. :crying:
I was taking photos in swimming pool for 10s, went out, dried the phone with a towel. After 5min I had a brick with water on camera.
Sony Portugal replaced it with a new one.
damn.. it seems that all around the globe they replace the phone. I'll keep you posted guys, I loved my z3c, and really don't want to have to buy a new one because of those flaps.
To answer your questions...
1) yes
2)I'm from Malaysia
I have already posted a warning regarding this issue a couple of weeks back in the forums. It is sad to see another person who has encountered the same problem here. The Z3C is great, its just a shame that the waterproofness is not as advertised in the long run. Hope you can get your replacement :good:
yes
Netherlands
i wasn't get new replacement phone but I got new mainboard for my damaged phone
Hi, where did you send your phone in malaysia? mine just happened, just taking a couple photo under the water in pool then suddenly turn off by itself. hope mine also can get a new one.
Replaced a water damaged D5833 in Singapore 15th Jul 2015. Went to Sony Service Centre. From the letter i recevieved this 1 to 1 exchange is limited to ONE time only.
