[Q] Use Xperia Home or simple issues - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just upgraded my phone yesterday from Galaxy 5S, now to a Sony Xperia Z3. I was having this problem with the Galazy 5S as I thought it was a Samsung problem. I am now having the same problem with my new Xperia Z3. It's very annoying to have to tell it to use home then always. Is there a quick fix for this?

guys should i buy the xperia L

I wanted know because I will buy its soon and will it ever have a bootable and full working cyanogen mod and Ive heard about many battery and restarting problems so should I buy this phone and by the way I live in india
We can't predict the future, you know. So we don't know if we'll ever have a stable CM. And your choice depends on what do you want your phone for. If you're a heavy user/gamer, then this phone suits you perfectly. If you like taking photos, you might want to look forward to another phone, since Xperia L has alot of camera issues, such as high exposure on low light and image flicking while recording on indoor enviroinments.

I suggest to wait or save your money for other brands or other models... Xperia L has some issues and even up to now the issue isn't solve. It has been two months since the last update but still no fixes on those crucial ones

I have too tiny lags on high ,that's because the game have very low optimalization ,it can lag even on xperia z.All other gaes works smooth for me

Thanks.

1. There is problem with the WiFi what so ever. It's the router/modem.
2. Touch screen sensitivity can can be a problem sometimes while zooming in or out. Otherwise it's good.
3. There are no HW camera issue. Only SW camera issue. So expect them to be resolved in 4.2.2 or 4.3 or CM.
4. I am hearing this for the first time. No mic quality issues. Mic is great according to me.
If you're not convinced about the camera, talk to @shivamk11 and look into his thread!

Ok, thanks, but i watched some video samples from this phone and the sound was not that good which means voices will seem unnatural to the other party im calling.
And what about this memory full issue : http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-L/Device-memory-full-in-xperia-L/td-p/347456
Does it happen to all phones or certain firmwares only ? Is it fixed with 2.17 update ?
I also heard read about restarting due to home screen wallpaper issues, is it true ?
I dunno, this phone seems to have many issues.

That memory issue is one of the biggest bugs on xperia L. If you're planning to root XL, no need it worry as it can be solved.
However, if you're not keen on rooting, there's a decent chance that you could face this problem. & NO, this bug is not fixed with the 2.17 update.
I am currently on 2.17 & still face this problem. Haven't yet faced the restarting problem..
what about battery life can anybody tell me about it?

again, i can respond only regarding non-rooted phones.
For non rooted phones, Just About Average. Lasts just about a day if you're medium user. IF you're a heavy user, be prepared to charge your phones a couple of times a day.
Any other issues we should know of ?

Actually, L's camera is really good, but the new update screwed it up, pictures are really noisy and overexposed in low light. You should see shivamk's topic.

hi guys my last and final doubt is which phone should I buy xperia m or xperia l and does xperia m have much longer life than xperia l because. of older cpu and small screen.

If you are confused between Xperia M and Xperia L ...
Then blindly go for Xperia L .
According to me Xperia L is better in all terms in comparison to Xperia M .
hey guys, after watching xperia l review on youtube on almost every different channel, none other of them complains about touch issue. but when i go to xda, suddenly theres a ton of L user complaining about low senitivity touchscreen issues..
does the touchscreen issue only happens to some people or all L users?

Hello Friends....
As you know all about the updates in our Xperia L, and may be some of our friends already updated their phone, I did also but seriously guys after this update 4.3 I was facing lots of problem in my Xperia L like screen resolution, phone becomes more slower then before, hanging problem and the most worst thing was its Screen Lock system which was totally a bull **** upgrade.
However I got my old version through XDA Developers and I would like to say thanks to them but Guyz I have a problem now and i.e. I got notification for this update which I don't to do it...but its message and notification in the status bar, its really annoying to me.....so can you tell me how do I turned if off permanently..I dont want to any update from the Android??

Wait... So you bought a phone with a 1gHz processor and now you're planning to buy a phone with a 800 mHz processor?
That seems a bit odd to me. The Tipo Dual lags less than the Xperia E because the Tipo has ICS and the Xperia E JellyBean. JellyBean needs better system requirements than ICS.
My advice would be to save up for a Moto G. You can buy them now for 180 euros, and the specs outmatch the Tipo a bazillion times!
It's your choice of course!

lags sometimes

Daily Rebooting Many Times
Hello to all,
I have a problem with my Xperia Tipo Dual since last update. There is official system in it without customisation or another changes. But when I updated the phone via Sony PC Companion, it is rebooting approximatelly 2 or 3 times per day. I gave the phone to my wife and she uses the phone just sometimes and only for calls and SMS so, nothing difficult. Does anyone of you have any idea, what could I do with it, please?
difficult

it is due to RAM and processor problems

Can't use a pencil on my Xperia Z3

Hi Community,
sorry if this exists anywhere, but I didnt found something in the forum so I'll just ask for it
I heard that the Z3 is able to be used with a pencil.
I just tried this out with the standart draw app from the Xperia Z3 and it didnt worked.
Did I missed an option or something ?
Google don't found something or maybe I'm just too stupid
Thanks for your answers
( Sorry for my bad english )
this works with previous Zs, but not the Z3. I think it has something to do with the new panel supporting glove mode but not pencil operation
I've never heard of that! How did it work on previous models?
work on Z ULTRA and Z2
Not on Z3

Do you think it's possible after a root with some hidden function ?
I bought the Z3 because of that feature that's really dissappointing to me :/
Dangit!
I really wanted this feature in my z3!
You want to draw on your screen using a pencil? Is this serious? Or do you mean like a tablet pen ?

Tap to wake vs pocket

Hi,
got 1 more issue and 1 more question.
1. I love tap to wake function. Had it on all my Lumias and it was awesome.
Now in Z5 with tap to wake on I got phone constantly ON in my pocket!!! WRRRRR!!!!
What is going on and how can I prevent it?
What is the point of this feature if phone turns on by itself every minute?
2. Just got new SD card - how do I move more than 1 app at the time from internal storage to sd card?
In W10m I could select few aps and simply move them - here I do not see such option
No one has such issue with phone getting unlocked in a pocket?

There're loads of people reporting this problem - just take a look around this forum. You'll just have to turn it off like the rest of us do. Total garbage feature as currently implemented.
Ok, thanks. I cant believe old and cheap Lumias do it perfectly and Z5 cant
Since Z5 in on a market long time and problem has not been solved I guess Sony does not care?

You're right, this issue has been ongoing since the very release of this device. I don't think this will ever get solved as there are maybe more pressing issues with the z5.
I would try a third-party pocket detection implementation.
I have used with good results: gravity screen, glimpse notifications. Not sure of HiLocker..

Also consider Smart Pocket Guard. I've been using it for three weeks and it seems to work fine. Only problem is it doesn't auto-start on boot.
I'm plagued by this bug too. Any idea if it is related to the screen touch hardware?
