Z3 Display Glass instable

I recieved my Z3 10 days ago.
It's superfast and the batterylife is awesome.
But 2 days ago, i noticed a damage in my Screen.
It's not big, but you can feel and see it..
I never dropped the phone, i even didn't use it often, because actually it's my secondary phone.
I never put it in my pocket with keys or money or anything.
So this morning i noticed a crack in the screen.
It's not big, too. But you can see it..
It looks like the screen is to big and instable and cracked.
This happened over night without any external influence.
Anybody got this too?

maybe it was the neighbors cat? never heard of a phone that screen mysteriously cracks itself. any pics?
.

Actually, the screen of the Z2 cracked spontaneously over the night some people. (From one corner to another.) Sony is not using Gorilla Glass but the Dragontrail, idk how good it is.

Another one of those my screen mysteriously cracked for no reason thread.... I'm not sure what to make of these on XDA?

The amount of complaints are growing so quickly, all the chances of my buying a Z3 are fading.
I think it's time for a recall (that they will never do).

I feel the same way.. I went ahead and ordered an iPhone 6 plus to hold me over until I make up my mind and Sony decide to release price and availability on T-Mobile.

So here are some pictures.
It's a very small crack, it doesn't disturbs me but i think it isn't waterproof anymore...

I have an idea what can cause the crack.
When i hear Music with the speakers and full volume, the display vibrates a bit.
Can this be the reason?

Actually, it happens when the glass is under pressure / stress.
Gave my mum my Galaxy Nexus a half year ago. A week ago she put it in a stacker in the car with much space, but rubber on the ground. We drove an hour on the Autobahn, not even fast, suspension doesn't even move much because it's so flat.. still it broke into 100 pieces, I've never seen a cracked screen like that. It didn't even move. But to be fair, it fell to the ground very often. Like 20 times, without any damage. I guess it was a bit under stress / pressure and cracked at the slightest touch...
If the glass from the z3 is under stress because it's a faulty unit, it may even crack because of a fast changing temperature. Out of your pocket --> cold table? Could happen imo. That should be covered by the warranty imo. But that depends on the country where you live in.. In germany for example we have a relatively strong consumer protection. If you have absolutely no scratches on the phone, it should be obvious that this is not your fault.

I've had enough phones to know, they don't break from forces of nature or on their own. Hot to Cold, Cold to hot, faulty or not, doesn't happen.

You had some phones and they didn't break? Wow.
I had some cars that didn't break in years of usage. So cars can't break from forces of nature or on their own.
When there is constant pressure on the glass from the frame itself, it will break much faster or with less force.
But keep ignoring the facts and please, please never read this:

OP should read this, Sony repaired several Xperia Z1 phones for free:
http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/520...cked-glass-sony-might-repair-it-for-free.html

I've put together a Google forms survey to collect some objective breakage data:

Please take some time to complete the survey whether you've experienced a breakage or not, it's important to have a complete set of data. You will be able to view the survey results after submitting the form.

So i have to send my device to Sonys repair center.
There is nothing more on it.
It's just like a new Z3 wich was taken out of the box 5 minutes ago.

There is no pressure from the frame, the glass fits inside it and rests on a lip. Hence why people have "gap issues". The actual frame puts no pressure on the glass under normal use as far as I can see. Unless of course the frame warps slightly, then I could see pressure building up at corners.

That's what I thought, too. And I had the same ideas like that famous "neighbor's cat", didn't take it for serious.
Till this morning, when I found a nice crack in the screen after charging the Z3 over night, listening to music prior to sleeping.
Crack starts at the right side if the upper speaker, extends down to the lower left edge of the phone. You can see and feel it, touchscreen still working, but with problems.
No drops, no weight placed on the Z3, no famous cats, not even mice.
Reason ? Unknown.
A bold guess: Vibrations. Z3 was resting with it's lower edge against a metal bar of the little table next to my bed, I had music playing quite loud. As the upper speaker causes the phone to vibrate noticeably, the constant vibrations plus the metal bar preventing the Z3 from moving might have caused the issue. And it's the upper speaker where the crack starts.
Oh, oh, Sony...
UPDATE
Just had a call with Vodafone Germany - they told me it's a KNOWN problem many users experienced. They also revealed it's a manufacturing fault, and there's an agreement with Sony regarding repair or exchange of affected devices.
Passi1909: Du bist also nicht allein.
Oh, oh, Sony...
UPDATE 2
Just had a chat with Sonymobile. Unfriendly as ever. OF COURSE they don't know anything about the problem. OF COURSE there are no manufacturing defects. OF COURSE they don't know anything about agreements with Vodafone.
So it's the typical Sonymobile Germany habit. (They also completely ignored thousands of bent Z2 Tablets a few months ago.)
Presently, I am speaking with Vodafone Germany again to find a proper solution. But I guess I'll say goodbye to the Z3, don't want to risk another failure.
Aha, interesting. NOW Vodafone Germany (different agent) claims there are NO agreements with Sony.
Strange world.
Trying the Sony repair service, now.

I can foresee a nice class lawsuit headed their way. Sony might go bankrupt in a couple of years the way they have lost the walkman wars (audio wars), and forget about Video wars too - Samsung and LG are really getting in there, and mobile wars - gone are the days where the P800, P900, P1000 (??) were the best phones ever to the fact that Apple now has a clear dominance there and Samsung has literally taken Sony out when it comes to Android.
I can imagine that it might be time to teach Sony a lesson of cheating people with 6 monthly devices that are "downgrades" in terms of "life".
Chefproll, start recording your calls and get things documented.

I wanted to finally buy a sony Smartphone on christmas, in this case the z3, but after I've heard a lot worse problems from this, I can probably forget it. pity, because i thought that the sony xperia z3 is the most prettiest and best Smartphone on the market

It's a nice, cute device which is real fun to play with.
But I just cannot live with the subzero camera - and with a crack in the display. Device now is unusable, touchscreen now behaves totally erratic.
I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S5. I NEVER EVER wished to buy another Samsung device. But after my experience with the Z3's camera, the cracked screen (don't listen to music) and the attitude of the Sonymobile staff - goodbye, Sony.

Waterproof case

Does anyone have suggestions for a waterproof case for the LG G3? I see mostly cases for iphone and Samsung.

This thread would be more at home in the Accessories section.
More towards your question, the G3 is more or less waterproof on its own honestly. I've seen a water test with it on YouTube and also my phone ended up getting soaked like crazy in a freak rainstorm and everything is perfectly fine haha

The LG G3 is NOT waterproof nor does it even meet water resistant classification requirements. Thinking it is will just get you in trouble.
Sure, phones today are sealed up a little tighter than before. I think glue is more commonly used in the manufacturing process now. But the G3 does not have a back that seals, nor are any of it's buttons or ports sealed. Therefore it is very easy for water to penetrate and kill your phone. It may not happen every time (hence the videos), but don't be dumb and expect your phone to survive any contact with water. You may consider yourself lucky if it does.....

Just because LG didn't take the time/money to pass a super vague "test" to be certified doesn't mean that it isn't. Plenty of phones these days have been tested externally and shown that they are in fact water resistant. Most blow that crappy 3' for 30 minutes "test" out of the water. See what I did there?

Great. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and test your theory out by swimming with your g3 for lets say 20 minutes. I look forward to your video of the test and your results.......

Niceeee!!!!

I'm of the belief that the LG G3 is NOT waterproof. It may be resistant to water splashes but compare this phone to any waterproof device from phones, to cameras to watches and you can come to a conclusion that this device is not waterproof. I have seen that video as well but I doubt few if any who doesn't have money to throw around will attempt that.

I've seen those videos, but you are the one telling the OP that the phone is basically waterproof. You are telling him to risk his phone based on your expertise. You should also have to put your money where your mouth is and swim with your G3 for 20 minutes and post the result.
You are willing to risk the OPs phone with your recommendations, let's see you put your own phone at risk.......
We eagerly awake the results...... But somehow I doubt you will have the balls to risk your own phone which makes you recommendations null and void......

You need to calm down man. Its okay to voice your opinion but being rude about it doesn't help anyone. This thread isn't even asking if the g3 is waterproof he was asking is there is a WATERPROOF CASE for it like the lifeproof for iPhone.

I had a waterproof wrap for an old s3. It was like a condom you shoved the phone in and then put a sticker on the back to seal it up. I can't find em anywhere but it worked great.

It was suggested that the OP doesn't need a waterproof case because the phone "is basically waterproof"
I'm just calling bull**** where I see it. I also don't consider my post rude. If people claim the phone is waterproof, then they should be willing to test their theory with their own personal phones. Otherwise they should shut the f-up. Now THAT might be rude, but I'm fed up with people claiming to "know" stuff, and then not back it up. If the OP follows their advice, then he risks ruining his phone while they haven't risked anything themselves with their "expert" opinion. So I'm calling them out.... to all the people on this thread that have claimed that the G3 is "basically waterproof" - prove it with your own phone.......

I take that as a confirmation that you won't be exposing your G3 to the water test.......

You win, no one is going to go willingly put their phone in water. That being said, I'll still not care about it not being certified for water resistance. I'll take the videos for enough as they are to not be paranoid about water (which I never would be to begin with) clearly you've got more issues than needing to prove himself to the internet though. You should seek help

The OP asked a question about a water-proof case. Going off on a tangent about how the phone might survive on its own adds very little to the topic. Please keep it on topic from here on out.

Possible option
Thus far, I have not found an actual "case" for the G3 that is waterproof, but I found one on Amazon. Just search for "Buku Wireless IPX8 Certified Universal Waterproof Phone Case Bag W/ Armband Neckstrap and Earphone Jack" ( I can't post links, as I'm a new user). I've used a variation of this for an iPhone a little while ago, and recently used my sister's, which was more like the one found here, which had room for her IPhone 5, old school hotel room key (not a card), and cash, and have not had any issues whatsoever (it kept out water and sand with full functionality). I can't speak to this one found on Amazon, but I've ordered one. While it's not a case in the traditional sense, it does offer waterproof protection, with the ability to take pictures. As an added bonus, it has an armband, which is great if you want to run or cycle when there's a chance of rain, or swim with it. I can post a review once I've gotten it and had a chance to use it.
I know it IS off topic, but with regard to what previous users posted, but I personally wouldn't recommend operating under the assumption that the phone itself is waterproof, or even water resistant for that matter, though I have dropped mine in a urinal and peed on it without any issues. I certainly would not put my own phone to the test.

[Q] headset jack a little loose

Hello everyone!
I have a brandnew, white Xperia Z3. What I discovered is, that the headsetjack is somehow loose. You can easly shake the plug a little when plugged in - it's not stiff.
Now my question: is that due to the waterproofing (using rubber and stuff to keep it waterproof) or is that a manufacturing issue? Please feel free to check it on your Xperias.

Edit: btw, just tried mine and it is loose too. Maybe it is because of some kind of waterproofing rubber.

Mine feels no different than my previous phones.

thanks for your feedbacks!
I've found another post where a user says "As for play in the port; I've checked out every single xperia z3 and Z3 compact on dispay and they all have quite a bit of "give" in the port. It almost looks like a feature" (Google for "headphone jack loose" and hit the second result from sonymobile - sorry not yet able to post external links here...)
So I think it's normal then...

Thank you. I already know that trick. What I found out is, that the jack itself is airproof; but the little hole on the right side of the jack seems to be leaking slowly (airpressure goes back to normal after a few seconds). While testing this I put a finger on the membrane-hole on the lower left of the handset. Does this mean that my device is not waterproof after all? Using it for 2 days now - it's brandnew.

[Q] Got two new Z3, both have build quality issues

Hello everyone,
I came from a Z1, the mic started malfunctioning and I could only be when using handsfree on it.
So I ordered a Z3 from my carrier, got it shipped by mail. When I received it, the SIM/SD card flap wouldn't close properly, so I phoned customer service and got a replacement Z3 mailed to me. The next one I got (received it 3 days ago) looked fine, until today when I took it out of my front pocket. I heard a poping sound, I had earphones plugged into it. I could see the back glass starting to come off. I'd say whole top left 1/4 of the phone is not glued on anymore.
I really liked the Z1 and the Z3 as well as features and look go, but I am now getting unsure about getting this phone. Am I just unlucky and got two poorly built units, or are they mostly all bad?
JF

You're not the only one, no. My sister bought a Z3 and the left side of the back panel (looking at the back) is not properly attached either, and is flexed outwards. After a small amount of use its to the point now where it is sort of flapping about and she needs to use a case.
My girlfriends Z3 went into a small amount of fresh water to take one picture and moments later the screen went black and died completely. After a few minutes googling i found many other people having the same issues with the Z3's.

Just bad luck bud, get it exchanged while you can. Carriers can be real douche after 7 days or whatever depending your location.
Nothing wrong with my z3 even though its second hand. *fingers crossed*

Just got my 3rd Z3, this one the flaps look fine, the back glass seems glued correctly and it passes the pressure test... The downside is, the box was sealed when I got it, but it was missing the screen protectors. Oh well... just my luck. I'll peel off the ones from the previous one before I ship it back, until I order some new ones.

It may be.

The first two Z3's I got had screen protectors included in the box. The last one didn't...
Anyway, the last Z3 will go back as it is no longer working. Over the weekend, I was at a friend's batchelor party and we were doing indoor surfing. I was filming him from aside and the phone took a few water splashes, and the display started flickering and died within a few minutes. I am terribly dissapointed in this phone. I really enjoyed my Z1, with all it's glitches and freezing. The Z3's performance was great, it seems it's just the build quality. I had bough my wife a Z3 a few months ago, as she likes water sports and she liked how I could use my Z1 at the beach/lake, but now she is scared of even getting some rain on her's, and we can't return it for another one since we're over the buyer's remorse period.
It's a shame there are no other waterproof phones out there (besides Samsungs).

Buy SAMSUNG and do with that indoor surfing.

Now that's some really bad luck. I heard the Z3 is less than perfect when it comes to build quality but this is just insane. Mine works well and is waterproof but has a dead pixel (I think it's covered under warranty but I don't feel like going to the service center). I hope you get one that works. Other than that if you want something with less than flagship specs there are plenty of rugged phones to choose from. Buy one of those for watersports and buy a different flagship for daily use. I heard the Samsung S6 is supposed to be pretty good.

Chill, I was just giving OP my point of view. He seems to be very disappointed with Sony but he wants a waterproof phone, his best option is to buy a rugged phone for watery outdoors and a different flagship for daily dry use. I like my Z3 more than the S6, but if my Z3 were to suddenly explode and make me get buyer's remorse I would most likely buy the S6 which is the second best phone on the market after Z3 imo.

Ok, no problem.

I think I'll keep the Z1 around for watersports. It still runs fine, the only problem is the mic is busted on it. I was thinking of using it with a sports band to put on my forearm and use as a GPS while riding my motorcycle. I'll just get a regular, non-waterproof phone instead.
I've had a Galaxy S4 in the past. The hardware is great, but I don't like the UI and all the software they load it with. I might look into the M9, since it seems like the one of the last ones with SD card support. Anyone has comments on it?

Worst xperia ever..

Returned this phone. Why?
Having come from z3 , was expecting vast improvement.
Too heavy, absolute brick. Infact I swear you would get RSI from holding it too long.
Speakers, nasty , distorted at high volume. Maybe just mine, but shop said loads of them returned.
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ2/Broken-XZ2-audio-speaker/td-p/1313319#gref
No 3.5 headphone jack. Nuff said.
No FM radio.
Its spins when on flat desk, even with case!!
Fingerprint scanner in totally wrong place.
Really poor design.

Really? U din't check before buying?

Complain by Sony and not here !! -__-

I also came from Z3. I have to say that it is a major improvement over Z3.

As a matter of fact, we recognize haters because they always start a new thread instead of posting in the already existing threads... :laugh:

Yeah, the hate is getting way out of proportion.
Many of them who hated this phone never even see the phone in person.

i loathed the design when i saw the first press release fotos...
It looks way better if you hold it in your hands than compared to fotos.
Still could be better.
P.S Someone already reported the thread and asked for moving to Q&A ?

Please close this useless thread !

I came from a z3 and it's a nice big leap in performance. Fingerprint sensor is not in the prefect place but I don't have an issue using it, speakers just fine none of the issues done have. I'm not a fan of the shape out of a case, it's a stupid back and far too slippery, but add I use a case it's not really an issue.
Overall I'm happy.
Next time do a little research before investing so much in a phone. That's not sarcasm, it's common sense.

fingerprint is in my case at the right place. I'm left handed. Came from the Z5. Overall I love the phone. I only hate the backcover and its "feature". to spin it.

I am right handed, and I agree, just the right place. Could never understand people hating on the placement. It's not the same place as other phones. But I like it where it is. The speakers are amazing! And I love the screen. Overall a beautiful phone. The only reason I didn't keep it, is because I work out in the country where T-mobiles service is borderline. Having a phone with great reception is a must for me. And this phone is just average. Really loved everything else about it.

Returned this phone. Why?
Having come from z3 , was expecting vast improvement.
Too heavy, absolute brick. Infact I swear you would get RSI from holding it too long.
Speakers, nasty , distorted at high volume. Maybe just mine, but shop said loads of them returned.

No 3.5 headphone jack. Nuff said.
No FM radio.
Its spins when on flat desk, even with case!!
Fingerprint scanner in totally wrong place.
Really poor design.

I'm able to hold the phone during hours without any pain, the curved back is a great improvement.
My speakers work without any distortion even at maximum level.
You have a dongle in the box the plug your headphones, 10 more cm at the end of your headphones jack doesn't matter.
FM radio is discontinued since a long time.
I've added a back screen protector, the phone doesn't spin anymore and isn't slippery neither.
Fingerprint scanner could have been placed a little bit higher but after a week of use, that's not a problem anymore.
Design is my taste.
But why did you buy the phone of you don't like it? Were you forced buy someone?

Exactly 100% agree and same meaning what i have ^^
XZ2 is perfect and no issues or problems or something to complain at all

Agreed, those who complained about XZ2 either haven't use the phone and just listened to what haters said or have a faulty device.
I have no complaint about this phone. Perfectly placed fps for aesthetics and ergonomics, lack of 3.5 mm headphone jack is a pity but I can tolerate it, and the design and ergonomics are fantastic.

For me missing is only noice canceling feature in XZ2 or other new line of xperia

This lcd on xz2 is a blurry crap with lines on the screen if surface is hot and you move finger fast. Crap.

Nothing wrong on my LCD screen even when hot surface.
