Hey guys, I've had the Fuze since the day it came out. Never had any rough drops, only one onto carpet a while back from about 2 feet. Recently, the phone has been acting up though.
At completely random times, the phone will simply wakes itself up, for no reason. When I attempt to make it sleep, sometimes it wakes right back up, sometimes it stays asleep for a while. I can go days without it happening, or happening for hours straight. It will attempt to make itself sleep, but as soon as it sleeps, it wakes itself back up. It is a total battery killer. And the pocket dialing has become so much an issue I had to use a password lock, which I do not like and wish to do away with.
Here is why I think it is a stylus problem though. Whenever I take or make a phone call, the notes are up when I look at the screen when I go to hang up. It think the stylus is being pulled out, when it obviously isn't.
I thought it may be a software problem, so I flashed to a new rom, NATF 4.7. Still does the same thing. What do you guys think? I am thinking of maybe reflashing stock AT&T rom and taking it to them and seeing if I can get a replacement. But if I can fix it myself, I would much rather do that.
Hii im new to this forum... Just joined as i wanted to see if this has happened to anyone elses sensation.
The other day i had my phone in my pocket at work and i felt it was getting really hot on my leg! Opened up the task killer thinking i must of left something running... But nope, everything was normal! My battery had gone from full to 66% in under a hour and i hadnt even used it!! So knowing that i still had 13hrs left on my shift and no charger with me, i turned it off and put it in my locker.
Couple of hours later i go back to get my phone and im shocked to feel that it was red hot even though it was turned off. My battery was now at 13%.... Whats that about?!
This hasent happened since and hopefully wont again. Anyone else has this problem?
Im also abit worried about the heat my screen gives off when im doing simple things like browsing the web for over half an hour.
Anyway... Essay over
Turn "fasboot" off. Your phone wasn't off...just in "sleep mode". I assume.
This same exact thing happened with my G2X when I downloaded the NFL app during draft day. I closed the app and put the phone in my pocket. Ten minutes later I felt my leg getting hot and my phone was burning up. I deleted the NFL app and everything went back to normal. Most of the time it's a poorly written app that causes this issue so I suggest you delete any recently installed apps and see if it happens again.
have a look at this.. maybe it helps

this new t-mo update has messed up my phone. my phone now wakes up out of sleep mode, runs on 100% screen brightness (i keep it on 75%) and it runs hot. I have no clue when its cutting on so my phone has been super hot a few times. Anyone else have this problem? i am not pleased. Any fixes out there? thanks in advance.
Me too! It started yesterday, it gets damn hot. Not when it you first get your sensation, but properly hot! I couldn't honestly hold it, and also the battery just drops insanely in a few minutes. Also I am not sure if it is only me, but the speaker don't work sometimes. A completely new problem :/
I got my phone last Saturday from Orange. The first thing I did when I got home was completely de-brand the device and install the latest OTA from HTC. I have to admit myself, that it caused the phone's Sense to become insanely unstable (going to the green HTC logo after about 15 minutes of usage every time you exit an app) and it got quite hot too. Hot to the point that I didn't even have to be using my phone for it to be hot. I was actually able to put my hand in my pocket during cold weather and keep my hand warm because of the heat of my phone! Since installing Android Revoloution it has solved my problem & all problems with the slowness of the phone.
Hi all,
So my phone starts to get warm rather quickly, even from just browsing the web etc. It usually starts on the back of the phone around the camera area and then eventually more of the phone gets warm as time goes on if I am continually using it. Of course if I turn the screen back off and let it sit, it cools back down. Is this normal? Are you guys experiencing the same thing? Also, when I use the fast charger that came with the phone it also gets quite warm, regardless of whether the screen is on or not. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue specific to my phone. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks and please let me know.

Doesn't happen to me but the phone does get warm at random times for me but not too often. Maybe there are apps running in the background?

The heat from charging is ridiculous

Hi,
I think I'm having an issue with my new Z3, it seems to overheat very easily. We have high temperatures here in Czech Republic currently, however this happens indoors also (not more than 26 °C).
Phone often gets over 60°C even if its not under heavy stress, i.e. just chatting over messenger and browsing web. When I try to start camera, it shuts itself off, beacuse the phone is too warm. I even got like 68°C when trying to take a picture!
Is this normal or should I have the phone replaced?
Thanks
I would say not normal, our temperatures in Toronto Canada range between 30/40 in summer and I've never had a over heating issue.
Have you tried factory reset?
Currently i'm in holiday and i'm always near the beach, under the sun my Z3 gets near 60-65 but when is like 8 pm and there's no sun anymore my phone is near 35
Same here.

Jo, tady to samy, hruza. Zkus 4K video - ja muzu natacet asi tak... 20 vterin? Kdyz mam stesti. A neni moc horko....
Same here. Temperature gets to 60+ degrees while on 3G plus facebook/whatsapp. I will try resetting to stock and check if it fixes the problem.
I used to have this after upgrading to Lollipop.
Factory reset and wipe fixed all problems; overheating, battery issues, etc.
Over heating is always a problem for xperia Zx especially if you live in high temp country like mine
i have and use the original z, z1, z2, and now z3 and it all the same
even on standby the xperia will get hot if im outside under the sun
and using the camera will make it worse, the device will show over heating need to shutdown
using iphone 6 plus in the same condition is better but after dozen pic taken, it show the same error
the only cure for me is to power off the phone until the device no longer feel hot in your hand
but for now i usually use two phone if im planning to take many photo, one usually powered off and use the other one for camera, if its started to get hot then turn off phone and powered on the other phone lol
btw i heard z3+ and z4 overheat is worse so not planning to upgrade to z4, gonna wait until sony wake up and do major update to their line up
this just happened a few hours ago.
I've visited my grandma today in some places in Metro Jakarta Area, and boy Jakarta is as hot as the hell of the hell, when i go there, to her house, it actually looks green and cold, despite that afternoon it's sunny. but boy when i got out, it just burns my brain, head, and body inside and out.
So I kind of played some music in my car, but i turned off the music, and i got out of the car and go to the house, when i came in, wow, just wow, it's like i've just came in to hell, you know. Well in that time, i didn't feel that hot inside me, but my phone didn't feel the same as me...
you know, when i got out, i had my phone on aeroplane mode, and i don't do anything with my phone, after i came in, i just did light things with my z3, and after that, i played some games, and the phone started to became warm, well not that warm, but just a tad warm. and when i finished playing the game, i closed the game, and then lock my phone, and my phone seemed like it didn't like the environment and the air quality inside the house, so it became really really warm after that, i checked the temperature at cpuz and i saw the battery temperature, that is at 36 or so celsius, and i saw the thermal, most of them are like 40-50, and it is raising. and it just slowly getting hot until it is super super hot, i got panicked that i don't check the temperature and just turn off my phone to let it cool down.
Well my phone is new, and here, people are just ambitious when some person got a new phone, especially when it is a good one, like s6,z3+,iphone 6, or something else, especially z3 like mine, because sony users here are a lot but i rarely seen the users. so when i turn my phone off, my uncle was looking at my phone and started to tell me that he want to borrow it for a minute, so i gave it to him, i forgot to tell him that i turned off the phone because it experienced overheating that time, so i think he turned on the phone, i saw that fancy startup screen with that purple flow thingy, so i told him late, and asked some questions about the phone, and then i took the phone. I got panicked again because it's getting even hotter.
well that room is super super hot you know, but i'm one of the people who hate hot or warm environments, but i don't feel that hot, although it is warm, but some people thought that, that room is as hot as hell. so when i checked the phone, i saw that the startup screen is still running, it's unusual because it should display the lockscreen that time, so soon after that, the phone got lagged startup, and a few seconds later it got freezed, and then, like 5-8 seconds after that, the screen is pitch black, i thought the phone died, but it was restarting again, so i wait a couple of seconds, and it just did the same thing as before, so i'm worried, after like 5 times of doing the same thing, i asked my sister if i need a pin for force reset the phone with the button inside the microsd/sim slot. And then the screen turned off with 3 times vibrate, that was my first overheating and my first time of reseting a phone like that on my z3,
Oh yes i just remember, the phone is at 13% that time before the first turn off. And continuing on, when it already cooled down, i pressed the power button to turn on the phone, and again, that thing happened again, and it overheats again, i got really worried, so i let it cool down again, and then i tried to turn it on again, but did the same thing, so i turned off the phone again with the same method, and take my charger inside my car, and charge my phone, after that, it charges at 9% mark, i let it charge for some minutes and then, i turn on the phone again and just pray , then finally, the phone turned on without an issue, when i tested everything inside and outside it, everything seems normal.
that is creepy you all know? hahaha
btw, i'm not really in jakarta, i'm in sawangan, depok, it's like jakarta's sub city/ inside Jakarta metro area. but both are as hot as hell.
edit : oh yes, it's not just me, my mom's gnote 8, my sister's iphone 5s, and even my blackberry curve 8520 did the same. but my z3 is like, far severe one
but other than that, my phone didn't feel and seem as bad as you are, i just got like warm but not that much heat on mine when trying the same thing with the same condition as you are.
