Hi guys, my cousing will buy a new phone that have dual sim slot. o recommended the z3 and s5, but i think z3 is better overall. but i want to know if on normal usage of camera it will shutdown, or is just in 4k?
he lives in a very hot city, like 38c at noon, also he work a lot driving the car, is it possoble that the ambient temperature is high, he using high brightness, or gps and try to take a normal picture the camera will shutdown? some time ago i saw a review of xperia z2, and the girl just opened the camera to show the interface and the message appeared and the camera was shutdown, i am worried that maybe this could happen with z3.

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.

my issues is how to active dual Sim like Sony said you can received call when calling forum Sim 1
the only issue I sometimes seem to have it when spotify plays music my sdcard is disconnected.
anyone any idea how this happens? (spotify does store it's offline music on the sdcard.)
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?
Anybody has noticed that Z3 earpiece (top speaker) heats up a lot within 5 - 10 mins of phone calls?
BTW I am using Z3 D6633 (dual sim).
mine heats up
Mine is z3 dual as well and it heats up pretty quickly
This was happening to me too, but seemed related to battery drain as well. When I disabled "Smart Backlight Control" in Settings, Display, both issues seemed to go away. Phone calls no longer ran hot and batter drain improved a lot. I almost returned the phone bc of the heat during calls!
I just tested 8:40 call, not hot at all just lightly warm thats it. Maybe some production quality issues in your case.
Mine is T-Mobile variant, so who knows if heat issues differ between Tmo and Intl versions too. For me, I "restored all apps" and after normal disabling of startup apps etc, still was hot. Thought it was SPB 3D Shell, but eventually it was the disabling of Smart Backlight Control that did the trick. Who knows.
Overheating Issue with Xperia z3 Dual phone
Hi. I am having severe overheating issues within 5 minutes of normal phone calls.
I got the phone replaced but the new phone again has the same overheating Issue.
Can't expect this from a Sony phone costing more than US 800.

Hello everyone
Recently I had the Sony Xperia z2, but a few days ago I bought a sony xperia z3. When I start the camera it works a lot worse than the Z2, lags, and stutters.
I went to the store nearby and looked at another xperia z3 and she's doing the same in the camera. I thought it was normal, but when I saw the reviews z3 on you tube and how much fluency camera works, then I'm wondering if this is really normal. its software or hardware issue
My feeling is like to work with 25 fps
Camera response much better on my old xperia z1, and xperia z2.
Again, I put the latest firmware via flashtool, but it did not help.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Xperia Z3 D6603
FIRMWARE: GLOBAL GENERIC ( 23.0.A.2.93 )
Yes, same problems here (I have both Z3 and Z3c)
The camera is not nearly as smooth/lag free as Z1/Z2.
A bit annoying...
Same here.
The camera is shocking, and is in need of a massive update
the same with me in z3 6633 dual sim and hatting whin wifi working
Well...
Try to disable image stabilizer .
it makes the video look like that...
turn it off, and keep updating :good:
Does the Playback lag?
How the Video looks like, while recording is not very important!
The RESULTS are the MOST IMPORTANT!

The lag is not caused by the stabilizer. Tried in automatic and manual mode.

Video Playback is a little smoother than recording, but still not good as on previous Z models.
This is extremely frustrating
Check the Conditions of your Phone... Are you the ONLY one with the Problem?

Welll.....
On the GSMArena-Video test, the new ƶ3 is quite good! And in the Store, the Ƶ3 also NEVER lagged!
How does the Video play at your Computer? (If the Processing Power is Enough for 4k!)
If your Computer's Processing-Power is not enough for 4k, then try a lower Playback-Speed.
If it doesn't lag, then be satisfied! Only the Output-File is Important!
Even if i record 16K with a Camcorder with QVGA-Screen... the Screen only must be good enough to check, if your recording is good enough. And sometimes a swiveling(tiltable)-display is useful. Like on the LUMIX FƵ1000!
Does the Playback on another 4k-Capable device lag? Maybe there's another app, that eats processing power of your Phone. Is a battery-saving Program enabled? How good is your charger?
Have you ever been underwater wih your fone?
Your Phone has IP68-Protection, so there's a low chance for water to enter.
But if water entered, then it maybe touched One or two of those 4 Snapdragon-Processors then maybe one or two cores of the Quad-Core failed! :crying:
Check all Indicators. If it's still white (or Factory-Color), then that won't be the problem anyway!

it IS froustrating! You're completely right! You've got a super BRAVIA-Cinema screen on your phone that can't display your recorded video Properly!
But...
i already asked fknpwed fore some things in my last post!
If he answers, I'll get more information.
I still don't know (while i'm writing this right now), how the video plays at another 4k-Capable Device! (Like a Strong High-End Computer or so...)
If it plays very well there, then don't worry - the FULL Information is in the Video Files and can also be play(e)d, if the problem gets solved! :laugh:
Can You show us how badly does the camera lag? Since we have a screen recording feature in Z3, it's not a problem. I don't find a camera lag to be the problem, it also depends on the amount of light and quality we want to see on the screen. Here is mine with different EV settings. Sure it lags a little when shifting from dark to bright scene, but I thinks that's pretty normal behavior.
I am talking about the viewfinder laggyness.
If i start the camera app, and move the phone for ex. up and down, i got alot of frame drops and everything lags. (Doesnt matter which settings) But the output runs quiet smooth on my device, but not good as on Z2. I will upload a sample Video later.
Because the viewfinder on z1 and z2 used to run at 60fps, and that's not happening now.
But why?
z1 lagged too in its earlier firmware version...it could be a similar software problem...
z1 now is really smooth..and maybe z3 is going to be the same in the next updates
So here is my sample video

Didn't the Thread-Title Change?
I'm pretty sure that the Title of this thread changed!

Do you call THIS ALREADY a lag?
Welll..... the Z2 was more smooth!
Maybe it's just for preventing overheating!
I suggest it's about 16 fps but t's JUST THE PREVIEW!
Are the Photos good?
Try to do the same at a colder temperature... does it run more smooth?
I suggest, the Xperia Ƶ2's preview runs with 60 fps - on a FullHD Screen - so the camera's temperature will go upwards, even at the preview!
That would be embarressing for Sony...
That was daylight, so it's probably nothing got to do with the shoutter speed!

Does it also lag in SAFE MODE? (Hold the Shutdown-Entry in the STBY-Menu) - without running any apps in the background...
...and without Screen-Recorder? (Motion-Screenshot)
If it lags anyway under this conditions, then it hasn't got anything to do with the processing power.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Z3
I've been trying it under the water to test it and taking some photos in less than 30 minutes and 1m50 depth but I noticed that the vibrator is not working anymore !
Is it normal ?
Hello all,
I've recently bought an Xperia XA and have been satisfied with the device itself, i know its a new phone and we could await some updates, but what i encountered last night made me create an account here and ask.
I was low on battery, basically 1% and attached it to the charger i received with the phone itself, thus the phone goes into normal mode no battery saving or stamina, nothing and no third party apps installed for it. I started browsing Instagram, through google chrome, and even though the phone was charging it couldn't get up even 1% for the time I was on it, basically 30mins almost.
Now, your thoughts, I see on the forums the battery drains fast, cannot basically use it without stamina mode, but do you think that this is 'normal' or should I go back and ask for a different device?
Do you think the updates to the system itself will solve the problems in the future? I was on an Xperia M2 before and was really satisfied, battery lasted whole day no stamina mode, no problem. And from the specifications I read its supposed to have a good battery(XA).
Thank you,
Friction

Not sure about the charging but one thing I never do is use a device whilst charging, there is a known wifi bug that doesn't let the device reach deap sleep on the original firmware are you on the latest firmware version as the wifi bug is fixed and there's a new kernel aswell apparently I also recommend either a factory reset or software repair once latest firmware is available. How is it compared to the m2 as I'm making the same upgrade next week all being well and I'm following everything closely it's a stunning looking device only had a few brief goes with one don't know whether to get black/charcoal one or lime gold one

The current build number is 33.2.A.2.35 and I did do a factory reset since the update but didn't help much. For eg I've taken it off the charger this morning @ 6.00 and haven't been using it much, a couple of viber messages and pictures taken, one short call (under 1 min) basically its on my desk while I'm at work, only chatting with my gf a bit. And it dropped right now to 40% . And it is in Stamina mode, with optimization disabled for viber and whatsapp.
*edit call quality way better than m2 forgot that*
Now compared to the M2, hands down like going from a zastava car(serbian) to a benz i'd say, works flawlessly, the camera both front and back is better than expected, zoom is nice, design and aluminium body are perfect with slight screen curvature. It says mid range but certainly doesn't feel like it. Only issue beside the battery is finding accessories for it, screen protection or casing, at least in Serbia, as it is brand new, most people in shops haven't even heard of it.

Only cases I've seen myself are genuine Sony ones, a shell type and the leather flap type screenprotectors try mediadevil the best non tempered glass ones I've found been using them on my M2 for a while
