Just dropped my Z3 @@ - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just dropped the Z3 !!!! there was no damage or dent on it, but the speakers don't sound fine. The bottom one barely produced sound while the top was much louder I didn't test them before, but it seems like the bottom speakers was a bit muted. I was very worried.
by the way I bought it online on Sony Store, If I return it, will I have shipping options? like one-day shipping or such? 'cause I can't wait to get a new one. Anybody ever returned it before? pls help me!!!

If you bought it online, I think you still can go to a nearby Sony store and ask for a replacement. However, since you dropped it, its the user's fault. So do not say you dropped it but rather it was like this when you received it

Thank you a lot!!!! that helped
But in Arizona there's no Sony Store, as far as I know Sony Stores are only located in some States such as TX and CA.
Have you ever bought phones online?

Thank you a lot, but after an hour my phone work fine. It's because I washed it after dropping it, so the water might be still there a little, that's why speakers had problem... after it evaporated everything came back to normal. Thank you

Get a flip cover for it ?

Glad to hear that. Heard alot of cases that when u just submerged the z3 in water, the speaker would not work or become softer. It happened in the entire z series i think. So sad sony couldnt fix it.

These free Sony MDR-1R headphones they're giving away...

Right. Who thinks these are actually going to be any good?
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hps-prestige-headband/mdr-1r
The list price is £299, yet they're GIVING them away with every Xperia Z. I can't see any for sale yet on ebay, but I expect there will be a glut of them throughout March!
I have no interest in them, I'll be selling them straight on, but if I was buying I wouldn't pay more than 10% of the retail price.

Plenty of reviews on the web saying they ARE good headphones.
They're giving them away because they don't cost Sony £299 to make them.
There are some for sale on ebay, with people explaining they won't have them till March. IMO, they will be lucky to get the £150+ they are asking, when you can buy them new with a warranty for £170ish.
Having a good pair of headphones is great, I have a £300 pair of Sennheisers and I'll still be keeping these Sony's.
I wouldn't be complaining about free headphones.... This is a special deal only to people in the UK! Be grateful because some people like myself who live in another country couldn't get this if we wanted to.

Also to people in The Netherlands and probably more countries.
Reviews on these headphones indicate they're excellent quality for the asking price and VERY comfortable. I'm surprised Sony is providing them as I feel they're actually TOO good for something like this, but eh, more power to them for actually doing this.
I hope Canadians get something nice when we get the ZL

Seriously? Even at their RRP they are pretty good headphones that are suited for almost all kinds of music. They really sound pretty good, they look great and they are probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. What kind of headphones do you usually use then?
Im not going to get them cause i'll buy my Xperia without that deal ( not from carrier ) but i'd love to have them so if any of you want to sell theirs for reasonable price via ebay - i might be interested

I hope we get something with the ZL as well.... But knowing how much of an asshole the Canadian providers are.... There probably won't even be a preorder. If you really want these headphones it might be worth ordering from three with a 1 month contract... If they will even internationally ship it.

I can't get on with over-the-ear heapdhones at all - I just don't find them comfortable. I have a pair of Sennheiser in-ear buds that are a couple of years old but they produce really good quality sound and I can wear them all day comfortably.

If you're still interested when I have them, then I'm happy to talk about it
These are great headphones, I own a pair... For F***s sake, now I'm mad cause I bought them about 6 months ago.
If you're 100% certain for this phone You should pre-order for the headphones, they're a great piece of cans. One of the best I've tried.
I was planning to wait to buy it and wait for some price drops... If I just didn't buy these headphones. I would've made a great deal
Oh well - Sh** happens.
i mean look at the reviews on amazon http://goo.gl/GIUab they look to be pretty good
only 17 reviews but 15 of them are either 4 or 5 stars which isnt to bad
I have the headphones, still sealed and boxed. They're on ebay, but if anyone's interested, PM me with an offer?

I live in holland and we had the same pre-order deal here.... So i got one, a silver one. Not sure if other countries offered the same.
wow,look at the prices of these on ebay.
Before the XZ came out, these were selling for lik £180, now there's so many, they're going for like £70-80!
might be time to buy some.
it annoys me giving money to scalpers, but then, they're gonna get less than half of what they wanted for them!
They're actually very good headphone, however is anyone else having problems with the volume up & down buttons?
On mine they don't do anything the play/pause button works fine tho.

The remote control is designed to work with iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad ect. It don't necessarily work on Android.
I just use the cable without the remote control.

Well that makes no sense, Sony headphones bundled with a Sony phone...... works better with an iphone!!
I'll probably still use the cable with the remote at least I can play/pause with it.
Just use the normal cable with a Sony bt heidset, atleast then the phone has no cables...

Cracked my z3 while snowboarding today...

Does sony repair front screens cracks? My back camera is not working either for some reason.... the crack is only on the front, back looks normal.
I have the Dual Sim version.. and live in the US.
How much does sony charge? I can't find any local shops that fix the z3 here.
Thanks.
How
Probably be anywhere between $150-250.
My G2 screen replacement was ~$240 at GopherMods when it was 3 months old in Dec 2013. Fixed for free as they messed up 3 times. You are better getting it fixed by Sony itself instead of some of these third party shops where they learn their job on your phone.
If you can do it yourself probably be around $100-150 for the LCD/digitizer assembly. If you want to replace just the glass/digitizer it would be a chore but be even less, not even Sony would do this as it's too much work.
At least $200 if you send it to Sony for repair, but it would cost much less if you want to repair it yourself.

They should, or they would be at fault and liable to replace it again, unless they detected chlorine or salt residues. So basically if it fails in "fresh water" with flaps closed its not your fault.

Wait i explain it well ( excuse me for my bad english)
I dropped my phone 2 months ago
Went to a repair shop to change the screen ( LCD + Digitilizer ) ( total cost = + 200 USD ) ( fully functional )
They changed it but used some ordinary adhesive to stick the screen to the frame
After 2 days the screen began to come out of the frame
I googled and saw you need to use the "original adhesive for the z3
Bought it on ebay and got it yesterday
Opened my z3
Took the old glue off and installed the Adhesive i bought
Before i put the back cover i turned on the phone and checked everything - All was working even the touch was 100% functional
I put the back cover
And heated the adhesive to make it get its full power ( like stated on videos )
After that i turned on the phone
All is working except that bar on the screen ( it displays but it dont respond to touch , it dont even sense the touch in the service test !! )
I hope i have been clear enough
Thank you a lot for helping me
And also i dont have any more money to spend on this phone
I need to use it for at least 3 years before buying another one ( financial prblem)
What kind of adhesive did you use? I've got the same problem than you.
Try to buy a new lcd screen on ebay, you can find a non original one arround 40$.

Light bleed, is this normal?

I have just received my XZ dual and all seems to be OK apart from the not so great camera, which I expected.
I have just found that there is a light bleed coming from the phone body, in the bottom right corner, between the display panel and frame. Waterproofing test seems to be working. Also it always stops about half second later after I turn off the screen, which is a bit strange.
I am adding a picture...
Does anyone have similar issue?
No light bleed on mine. Think the camera is fine too.

That's not normal at all, you should get yours replaced asap, this phone is supposed to be completely sealed.

That's what I thought as well. I have never seen such issue on any of my smartphones before. The problem is, I live in Europe and bought mine from HK. Hope the seller will take it back...

If you brought the phone brand new you don't need to sent it back to seller. It has international warranty for 2 years. Sony will fix the issue or replace handset.

Thanks for your advice. The seller has actually contacted me with the return shipping details and I will be returning it to their UK hotspot.
I have decided to get a refund instead of a repair or replacement as I am not really sure I want this phone anymore, at least not now. It's a beauty, but I will wait once all the issues are fixed and then maybe get one.

The phone is great, I really can't find any real negative side of it, people talk **** about it because of the 3gb of ram, but if you want disappointment give a look to samsung or htc's forums

Earphone in package?

Hey guys , I was wondering why did Sony include really bad quality ear phone with the xz premium? it is a really old junk they give with it..
It was free, why complain.
They didn't include any at all.
The one thing that grinds by gear is that they tell you in the starter guide to only use the included cable or you may damage the device.
If they put that kind of request, they should include at least three cables.
But regarding ear phones, I'm glad they didn't include any, I always let them stay in the box unopened.
Yea, my phone didn't come with any earphones at all. But the site I preordered from had a preorder bonus which gave me Sony SBH54 for free.

Free? Hahahahahaha nothing is ever free mate, especially when you buy a phone. Those wiping cloths and cases with HTC? No, not free costs are ALWAYS passed to the consumer if it comes with a paid product.
Sorry to break your bubble....

Beside the preorder bonus, which was a pair of Sony MDR-100ABN headsets, the phone also came in its package with a pair of MH750 in ear headphones.
