Hi
Today when I (no idea how I found out) clicked right under the camera (Just left from the NFC logo) it makes click/crack sound, like it snaps something on place. I can continue clicking and it continues. I don't click hard to make it say this sound. Just a light touch is enough.
Tested the pressure sensor and it works, so it's at least still waterproof.
Have anyone else experienced this and would you hand it in or just let it me?
I had seen two xperia z3 with the similar problems.

Hello guys, i would like to know whether you face any problem with your sony z3 dual , especially with issues like waterproof.
i heard that the sony z3 normal version had issues with its waterproofing etc
thank you
Only issue I found so far is camera app. It always says error: recording in progress in another app. cannot record. But everything works fine. It happens everytime I enter camera app. Quite annoying.

Do you have the OK google feature on?, It's on by default and there is a bug affecting the Camera app with that option. Check to see if it's that, let;s hope that Sony is taking note and plan to fix this in the next update.

Ohhh. I see. Yea, I'm using the Google Launcher with google now detection on everywhere. Hmmm. I hope they fix it too..
I had a dual sim, no water proof issues however one of the sim slots did not function. The SIM 1 would have intermittent capability. Sometimes it would say that I need to place a sim in the slot other times it just would not hold service. SIM 2 worked without any issues. I just returned it for a regular D6603.

I heard its a google now launcher problem? Are you using GNow launcher too?
I have no main problem basically. But I'm not really happy with some points:
- Not true Dual Sim Dual Standby: you can't call each other. You can't hold a call when another call come. Note 3 Duos can do.
- Not really high quality G lens. As I know Sony G lens is very high end lens brand.
- Camera lens seem easily to crack. I have small cracked althought not decrease image quality in most pics! Of course no drop!
- Camera performance same as regular Z3: not very good, accept extreme low light condition.
- This is the first Android phone I have to use stock, without rooting. I have to wait locked bootloader rooting method. I want to hide softkeys with "Auto Hide Soft Key" for full screen usable. I also want to remove some bloats + install xposed + optimize it for better battery life.
- Phone easily to reach high temp with games, sometime with long time 3G connection.

No I'm not using Google launcher or any other launcher.
still facing the problem.
Ah I have another prob: call quality is avarage, not very good. Sometime with distortion.
External speaker call volume = low with only bottom speaker!
waterproofing issue anyone ?
Please let me know if any of you guys who faced waterproofing issues with the Sony z3 dual Thank you
I haven't encountered any waterproofing issue on Z3 Dual.
Any of you experiencing the pink spot issue?

notifications volume
hello the only problem I have so far is the extremely low notification volume although I have set it up to the max...I don't hear the whatsapp and sms notifications I have to constantly check my phone...any solutions for that?
Recently, I bough a Sony Xperia Z3, and I've noticed some pretty major latency/input lag primarily when you're scrolling, when you scroll, the time between the moment you touch the screen to stop the scrolling and when it actually stops scrolling is really big.
This also doesn't just happen when scrolling it affects gaming, I downloaded the game GolfStars and there's a slider you need to touch and stop to get the ball going straight, and because of the latency you need to touch it before it gets to the destination. This is just an example of the myriad of issues the latency this phone has could cause.
Fixes I tried and did not work:
*Force GPU Rendering
*Touch & Hold Delay set to "short"
*Disabled all image and graphic enhancers.
*Enable Glove Mode
So, is this a software or hardware issue? Or is there no issue, and it's just how the phone was made to work?
I had similiar problem with my Z1 ,i sent it to sony but they won't fix it ;/ its 100% hardware problem

Wow, so it's been a problem since the Z1 and they still haven't fixed it?
I wonder if it's a design philosophy.
And how did you cope with this issue?
I'm still within the period to change the phone for another but I really had my hopes up for this phone especially with the PS4 functionality but this issue is major and it's making me reconsider and changing it for something like the M8 which its screen is SUPER responsive. Just how it should be.
JoseZ3, it would probably help if you'd indicate what FW you actually use. I'm in possession of a Z3C and a Z2, there's no such thing like latency/input lag anywhere. Probably a FW update helps to get it addressed.
No latency here at all.

So when you're, let's say, on a webpage, and you flick your finger so it scrolls down, and then you tap the screen so the scrolling stops, it stops immediately?

Yes, it stops immediately, I tried that as soon as I saw your post. I am not much of a gamer, so I cannot confirm if it happens in games or not, but I'll install one or two tomorrow just to be sure.
It seems to me that I was lucky to get a perfect device, so many people are complaining about camera, lags or broken glass, I don't have any of these problems. The only problem I share with the rest of Z3 owners is quiet notification sound.

I was able to fix it!
The latency went away when I turned off "Magnification Gestures" aka tap to zoom. Now it's snappy and responsive.
So to anyone who might read this in the future and is experiencing the same problem try and disable magnification gestures.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help me.
You have fixed what you must have turned on yourself as this function is off by default! Only wonder why you didn't notice the "problem" after having turned it on?!

This the Android version, not the FW version. Anyhow, good that it's solved.
Hi
I recently heard, that if I shake my phone (pretty hard) I can hear something in the the top of the phone (around the camera). It's not much to, but it's there.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance

Yes lets shake our phone as hard as we can and try our best to hear something. Brilliant!
Now, exactly how is this an "issue"?

Okay, well not issue and no need to shake that hard. But not just a little left-right between the fingertips shake.
Would just want to know if anything was wrong in my device or it's in all the devices.
Hi,
As the thread title says, my Z3's top (earpiece) speaker has a buzzing/crackling (similar to sound through a fm radio) sound when any sound is played through it. It also sounds a little quieter than the bottom one.
Anyone faced a similar issue? My phone is under warranty - will it be able to be fixed or is it a software issue?

I've done some reading online...turns out its a very common issue. It's happening to people even with new replacements out of the factory. Oh well...it's bearable.

Yeah...it almost always happens with me but sometimes during calls it goes away...strange issue.
Been through 8 Z3s for various reasons and only one had this issue. So get a replacement as its not normal.
The more frustrating issue im facing is, sometimes, (not all thr time) camera's reverse rotation is not fully occuring and stops still little out side the housing at the same time the camera module is loose enough to go inside the housing and comes out little bit when the phone faced downwards in the air.
If anyone has the same problem, please let me know
EDIT: my phone is running on latest firmware
There is a calibration tool in Settings. It may fix your problem.

No problem here.
Check if your Flip Camera and its metal dock is clean.
Calibrate Flip Camera and check functionality.
Service it.
I also have a problem
The camera thinks something is blocking it when i try a fast flip even if nothing is there and says impossible to flip. Sometimes it works.
I cannot calibrate it because of this problem
And it seems clean.
If i drive the camera manually it works but i can see the beginning of switch is a bit hard.
Retracting camera always works well.
All ideas are good to try
