Every so often, very occasionally, I get a flicker of the whole screen that looks kinda like static on an old TV but with loads of colours. It only happens for a fraction of a second.
It actually used to happen on my Nexus 5 when I had an experimental build of CM on it but that was much more pronounced and sometimes would happen and stay until a reboot. The fact it was fixed by switching rom on that phone suggests it's not hardware issue as such but my Z3 is totally stock so I wouldn't expect it.
Anyone else seen anything similar?
I have got this as well.
The first few hours they where frequent but after a couple of charges it seems less frequent.
Hopefully sony will fix this in later releases.
Same for me.
I think its an hardware error because i had it on my Z too - changing the phone solved it.
I'm not so sure. I had the exact same behaviour on the Nexus 5 and changing rom completely solved it.
Perhaps it's a combination of hardware and software
same issue
Hi guys, i bought the phone yesterday on O2 Germany, and i have the same problem of this flickering screen looks like an old Tv without an signal it happens totaly random yesterday for 3 or 4 times in 2-3 hours, and i dont know if it better to wait for an update or is it better to refund ?
Well I spoke to Sony yesterday who told me to do a full reset through PC Companion (they make you try that for just about any fault!). It made no difference of course so this morning I spoke to them again and they said it does sound like a hardware fault so I'll need to RMA it. 5-7 working day turnaround through Sony but I rang Amazon (from whom I bought it) and they are sending a new one out expedited so it should be here Monday!
I then have 30 days to return this one so zero downtime! I'm very pleased.
I'm seeing the same issue. I'm guessing by your experience, I should RMA my device too, but I'm going to try a reset using PC Companion first. The static looks a lot like this.
Yeah, that is what mine is like. It actually got worse over the weekend too so I am definitely leaning towards a hardware fault, probably a loose connection.
Get it returned. Bit of a pain but the service is pretty good. 5 working days is not bad from Sony, and that's if you can't get a better service from your retailer like I did with Amazon.
I had the same thing, it was doing the static up the screen thing every couple of seconds so I took it back to three and they replaced it on the spot.
New one from Amazon arrived today (as promised, well done Amazon UK) and it's not doing it at all. Good result.
Z3 Dual screen flickers
Z3 Dual Owner here, just 4 days old. Tried repair using sony companion but still no good result. At first it was barely noticeable then it became more obvious as it randomly flickers or displays grainy shades. Grains more often appears on Camera and gaming Apps, I previously owned Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia Z2 with same usage and apps luckily never had the same issue.

I've got the same issue too, reflashing with pc companion did not solved...still occured.
If any solution to solve this issue is very appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to say it but the only solution is get it replaced. It's a hardware fault. Sony should cover it under warranty, no problem, but it might be quicker to go through your retailer as per my earlier post.
Seems to be a hardware issue. Try to claim warrenty if you have if it's a manufacturer fault.
Yes I had this issue too so can confirm it's a hardware error. The replacement Z3 I have does not do this at all. Get your phone replaced as soon as possible. It will fall under your warranty as it's a manufacturing defect.
I had that happen with a replacement screen on my G2 turns out its the ribbon cable that is at fault generally, meaning its a display issue. I also had static images from another screen replacement on same phone also a screen issue. Gophermods eventually gave my money back after one more replacement lol. 3 Screen replacements and 2 different issues all because the manager was to careless with the ribbon cable. Even last time (3rd replacement screen) I got flickering but as soon as I loosened the display from the casing a little it worked perfectly. Well at least I got a full refund, so free repair lol.
Since this is an out of box issue for you better get a replacement unit.
Thanks for suggestion but it's hard to claim this issue to Sony because it occured randomly and rarely.
Btw is it possible to fix it by flashing latest rom via flashtool?

I also have this problem and notice it happens more frequently when I am charging my phone and using it at the same time. But it doesn't happen too often for me go nuts, yet! Not sure if I should get it replaced? It's such effort having to back everything up again and transfer over to new phone seeing as I've just about moved everything over =P oh and just stuck a screen protector on top of that which was expensive lol
Oddly it seems this only happens to me after i reboot. If i shutdown and boot i haven't seen it yet in several months
Probably better to get it replaced, it does not seem normal. I hope you aren't using one of those third party chargers.

I had before the Sony SBH-20, they were pure crap and bad quality (one of the buds broke after a year), the mic was low volume and the audio quality very bad but I used mostly to do voip calls, using the Sony's in the other end they ever had to make some effort to hear me because of the low volume of my voice, I think the mic is a normal Sony issue because I have another cable headset for using with my computer that has low mic volume too. (I will never buy again something from Sony that has a mic )
Now with this Skullcandy Buds (bluetooth version 4.0) I can say wow... is night and day compared with the Sony's, I use this headsets paired with a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and I use to do voip and normal call, to hear the internet radio and music when I'm on my bicycle, my experience today was great. Talking when I'm on the bicycle with some wind, my voice was really clear and loud on the other end (I did a test with Skype's Echo Test Service to check by myself), the noise cancelling worked great with the wind and mic sensitivity is fantastic.
I was a bit worried about the neck collar because I bought them online without testing them first, it is very comfortable and the buds with the neck collar are lightweight, is like not having anything on your neck, I was very surprised how comfortable they are and when using them riding my bicycle were great, they don't even move because they have a small rubber connector at the level of the curves of the cable, looking at the front they form an "X", so is impossible for them to slip away. Is the first day I have them but I feel them they will be comfortable for the day to day use when I'm working.
I'm not an audiophile but the audio quality is great, I really like them, they have good bass, middles and maybe not too much highs, great quality for hearing mp3 when you are running or in a bicycle.
They have 3 buttons that work perfectly with Android 5.1.1: Volume control, start/stop and if you long press some seconds the "+" button or "-" button you advance tracks or go previous tracks (I used the app Jetaudio) that works perfect on Android.
When I hear the music with my cellphone, I take my phone at the level of my waist, so there is some distance to my neck where the buds are
and the bluetooth signal was ever perfect, no glitches like I had with the crap Sony's.
About the battery in the description is say it last 6 hours, I have not had the opportunity to test this now because they are in the first charge and don't know how long does it take to full charge them, later I will update this information.
I don't know how this buds will last so later if I have any issue I will update this review, but the build quality looks very good.
I think till today they are by long the best bluetooth headset in the market.
They have noise cancellation ? How to turn it on? Tks
Use these right now, and I can totally vouch for this great pair of earphones. Although IDK if this is my phone or the earphones but it takes a lot of time for the device to be detected if not paired. Otherwise its perfect.
I have them as well and I like them a lot but I don't really care for the neckband too much I was looking into getting some beats powerbeats2 since they don't have anything like that.

Hi. Will it works with sony z series phone.? Did anyone tried..?
---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------
Hows is the bass ? Is this good for extream bass lovers.?
Skullcandy Smokin' Buds 2:
Great bass, decent mids, somewhat muddy highs.
For sub $50 these are a great purchase.
In order to use features like voice dialing, you must pair the headset with the phone, and then authorize the headset as a trusted device.
As a trusted device, the headset can make and accept calls, and wake the lock screen.
On the s6 try using the Bluetooth under settings, not the bluetooth under the dropdown menu. They never showed up on my s6 until i did this, it then found them and they seem to work well.
if you have problems with connecting to device, just dont forget that you have to hold the middle button on the skullcandy to enter pairing mode then the red and bue light going to repeatably flash then you can connect.
Mine is getting a purple LED light and won't give me the option to do the Bluetooth sink routine! Can anyone help?

Are you pressing the middle button at least 15 seconds?
Yes I've been holding if for that, and I've even tried doing longer but still no change! Any explanation for the purple LED?

Never happened to mine that, its blue or red, have you charged it for at least 3 hours?
No I have not charged atleast for 3 hours I will try this and inform later, thankyou anyway!
I have the skull candy smokin' buds and a samsung galaxy S6 edge. I like them both very much but they do not seem to work well together. it keeps cutting off when listening to music or even during phone calls. It is driving me mad. Any solutions ?
I was just wondering how do you know when the Headphones are done charging and if there is no specific time how long do you think I should charge it for? Thanks

When are charging, light is red, when they are full charged, the light becomes blue.
Generically looking at the windows volume mixer graph, it looks about a 20% reduction in volume. I personally would really like some communication from Razer on this matter.
It's not going to stop me getting a 2nd razer phone, because they're freakin uber! But I'm concerned to hear if it was botched code, hardware issues with the speaker manufacturer, of if it's a temporary mask of the problem.
I have the 2nd phone you see there, and it's perfect.
Here's the sound comparison, pre vs post update, Atmos on, all 3 ehancements on, custom1, maxxed eq
https://youtu.be/oog8apxoC58
Not sure what to say about this. :|
Same here,I noticed a drop in overall volume post-update,but,I really don't mind too much.
I'm going to use the phone as I normally would & the fact that Razer is proceeding w/RMAs w/o hesitation for those here having issues gives me a measure of assurance they'll do right by us.
For my use,I'm good w/the post-update volume levels,but,w/the Dolby Atmos,I'm not getting a very rich sound (needs a bit more bass,any settings recommendations are welcome). The Dolby demo shows the potential,so,I suppose quality of content plays an equally large part of the experience.
I don't use the speakers a whole lot,but,it's nice to have the dual front-firing ones w/decent sound: together w/the display quality & overall performance,well worth the price of admission. :good:
I really hope it's temporary, the sound levels were great for working in the garage.
I'm noticing some erratic changes in volume using the 3.5mm adapter and headphones. The volume will go from normal to extremely loud when I skip tracks (I've used the stock player and a 3rd party music player). When it gets super loud and I exit to the homescreen it will normalize again. It makes no difference if I turn off Dolby Atmos, and the volume leveler within the Dolby app makes no difference either.
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I haven't used the 3.5mm adapter or USB-C headphones yet (got the Razer Hammerhead USB-C set on order),but,I did notice a lot more consistent/cleaner sound through the external speakers when turning off Dolby Atmos & using another equalizer app (Bass Booster):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desaxedstudios.bassbooster&hl=en
I think there's some work that needs to be done w/the Dolby Atmos,no matter how I tweaked the settings,or,used the presets,sound was unbalanced & sounded almost as if the speakers were blown.
Hard to describe,but,like a recording of someone else's blown speakers.
If you'd like,I can test this w/some earbuds,but,they're nothing note worthy,just some buds that came packaged w/Samsung Galaxy & Note phones from the past couple of years..................

Thanks. I'd like to know if anyone else can reproduce this issue. My earbuds are nothing special either. Just goes from normal to really loud when skipping tracks. Going to try a factory reset.

I'll post back here in an hour or so,see what I can find.
FWIW,I'll be using Google Play Music,switch back & forth from no equalizer/the Dolby on-board & the Bass Booster equalizer app I mentioned earlier.
Here's the earbuds I'll be using:

@terrapin4
I was able to duplicate your volume spiking issue,skipping back & forth & the tracks that were low volume now played back @ the louder volume.
Very weird,not an audio software engineer here,but,this sounds like (pardon the pun) something a software update will take care of.
On a somewhat related note:
While using the Dolby Atmos w/the wired earbuds,switching between the presets had little to no difference,if any effect at all,barely noticed a difference when I turned the app on & off.
The Dolby Atmos,at least in my usage,pales in comparison to the Bass Booster app,I'm guessing any decent equalizer app in the Play Store will have the same results.

Thanks so much for testing and posting your results. Glad it's not just me, but disappointed this will affect other users as well.
I also had similar issues switching between the Dolby presets in that they made little to no difference. I think the update broke Dolby and messed up the amplifiers. Hoping a stock factory image gets posted so I can revert back. In any case I opened a ticket with Razer. I'll let you know what they say. Thanks again!

THX for opening a ticket w/Razer: :good:
Often people post in places like this & while it's definitely good to get corroboration,it does nothing if the mfgs aren't made aware of the issues.
Definitely something amiss w/Dolby as-is on the unlocked model w/the update.
I didn't try much of anything out pre-update,so,I have no basis of comparison,at least w/the wired earbuds.guessing my results would mirror yours,as did w/the OP & the decreased volume levels w/the external speakers post-update.
I just opened mine, immediately got an update. So I didn't have anything to compare to except my Pixel 2 XL which sounds much better!!

Just got the 2nd phone from amazon as I'm awaiting the return label for the first from razer. Though the first phone now, with severely limited volume compared to the RTM phone since it's post-update, is as loud as the new phone which happens to be the 813 pre-update build.
I will reset it here in a sec to see if that changes it, but it's much quieter than the gf's still. heh
*edit
I was going to restart the phone and check, then maybe reset.
After a restart, the phone is MUCHO louder, just like the gf's phone. Speakers are fine.
Soooooooooo
The only change? Other than setting the phone up, deny network to avoid update, and allowing google play to install the games and update everything else, I enabled dolby atmos, enabled 3 enhancements, chose custom1, turned up eq across the board, and then restarted.
So the restart enabled atmos? Sounds great though. 33% failure rate from my experience though. So I suspect the speaker failed or atmos blew em. Unless I'm completlely missing an aspect of signal processing when dealing with compact mobile audio designs.
I also received the update and tested against my pixel 2 XL. The Pixel sounds luck better than the Razer now. When I ran a test in the Dolby app the Razer sounded amazing again.

Been going back and forth with support today. They predictably asked me to do a factory reset to begin with. I did that and my symptoms now are as follows:
The erratic loud volume issue still persists when skipping through music tracks. This time however, the volume normalizes when I lock the screen of the phone. Whereas before it would normalize when I just navigated to the homescreen.
I've also noticed that when the volume goes super loud, I can lower it with the volume rocker key (obviously), but it's still in a louder state overall. However if I go into the Sound menu and click on the 'Media Volume' slider (without adjusting it) it normalizes the volume as if I turned off the screen like before.
None of these symptoms are present without using the dongle, so I'm inclined to believe it's something to do with the 3.5mm adapter. I'm curious to see if a normal (non THX) adapter produces the same result.
They are escalating the case now...I'll post as things develop.
I'm assuming Razer lowered the volume and ringtones until they can figure out if their current settings are blowing speakers, or maybe they have bad batches of speakers. It really sounds like they ditched QC to get as many units out the door at launch, then they will RMA bad devices once they get their line sorted out. Just my thoughts anyway. Hopefully they have all this sorted in January.
I think it would have been awesome if they figured this stuff out before launch, but at the same time I'm still cool with having the phone sooner than later.
They need to work on their communication though to the end users.
Wonder if doing a system restore through the recovery will downgrade it back to the out of the box firmware?
Can anyone dump the /system? I wanna see if there is any room for tuning this device
Well, as soon as I saw this I'm now installing the update.
If you turn it up and listen carefully you can hear the Custom 1 default profile, all 3 enahancements off, max volume, the RTM build vs the update today, build details in vid description.
* Vid soon to come, Kanye took the original down :/
Really interested in this phone but obviously worried as it's there first generation phone. So can those who actually have the phone please use this thread to highlight the main issues they have encountered with the phone, to help others decide please.
Vibration motor sounds feels and sounds like theres a poor animal inside being shocked occasionally to cause the rumble (and sound)
When making calls people on the other end I cannot understand or make out what's being said but incoming calls are just fine
Started a similar thread, but getting sidetracked irl..
This thread is only focusing on the negatives to help people decide whether or not to buy it?
What about the positives? (which really do outnumber the negatives by a lot)
I'm also saying this after receiving a defective-speaker phone first time. Still wouldn't trade this phone for any others even if ya paid me or gave it to me for free.
It's like this...

For what it's worth i don't have this issue.
I find it's quite a hefty phone - that reeks of quality, but the square angles and smoothness of the build means it has slipped out of my hands a few more times than other phones. Though I am kinda being a bit namby pamby with it till my screen protector and case come through from Amazon, so it's probably just me.
When my phone vibrates, the bottom speaker area is what rattles.. Hold that or squeeze it and it will stop rattling temporarily.
I've been using this phone for two full days now. I love it. Amazing.
There are a few issues I'd like to list and come back too later to see if anyone else is having the same issues, but first let me start with what I love about the phone because I really do love this phone.
What I Love:
Yuuuuge screen. At first I thought I really wanted to go for the OP5T for the 18:9 Ratio. I actually compared side by side and I like this screen much more.
Phone is bulky, yes. But it gives me a feeling of quality. Like its going to last. My last three phones **** on me which were all Samsung. They look pretty, but they aren't built to last anymore. I am certain Samsung builds phones now to be replaced just like apple. My last phone the S7 Edge literally nothing wrong with it. The alarm went off in the morning like always, when I went to swipe the phone froze, got incredibly hot and shut down. After it cooled down I tried resetting it. Booting in safe mode, etc. Nothing it shows a black screen and what bugs me is that the phone works, I can get text message and unlock etc but the screen is black. This bothers me so much because the boot logo and animation shows up so I know its not a hardware issue. Right as the S8 comes out? Coincidence? I don't think so...
Anyways....
The Razer just seems durable to me, No fancy edges etc. (Cheaper to fix a flat panel in the case of cracks as well).
Screen is smooth as butter at 120hz. It really is noticeable, however after the first day I stopped noticing it. It became a passive thing for me. But I do notice when a game is not running at a high fps and it aggravates me now lol. Most of the games I used to play are literally unplayable to me now.
2TB MicroSD - Wow. No way I will ever need all that but still cool.
Audio, Dolby app. So good.
What I hate: Please let me know if any of these have been addressed by Razer.
Phone does get warm in use at, usually when set to 120hz. Like Youtube and gaming. Even regular use like watching youtube videos in HD gets the phone warm. Never hot, but warm.
Bluetooth audio when on youtube can get out of sync. Only way to fix is with restart. Happened twice so far.
I don't know if its just my mind playing tricks on me, but I notice the screen flash to a dimmer brightness at times. It happens in an instant and gradually gets back up. It's hard to explain, but I will be looking at the screen watching a youtube vid or something then look away and when I look back it seems like it's not as bright, but the more I look at it the more I can't see the difference anymore.
So yeah,
EDIT: Also what is ticking me off is that this has the same camera module as the S7 Edge yet better processor and twice the ram yet I can't shoot video in slow-mo 120fps. I know Razer is working on Camera fix, and I sure hope this feature comes along with it.
I thought the phone has a heat pipe or something like that?. Anyway for me seriously am done with phones that generate heat, especially when it's for gaming!

Is this the unicorn you speak of :
I wouldn't rule out this phone based on one or two users experience,at least until they can show how "bad" it is,with some footage/apps that record heating/etc........
Especially if they're charging the phone while playing a grapic-intense game.

No doubt, phones or computers that generate heat are so mid-90's. They're just dumb.
I've had an issue, happened twice now, but it is difficult to reproduce.
Dolby Atmos app open and turned on, wired headphones (Bang & Olufssen in ear buds). I was listening to an audiobook (Audible app, AAX file extension) and after 25-30 minutes of continuous playback (from 1 audiofile), the sound got weird, like it was coming through a drainpipe. This has never happened with music MP3, and only happened twice but each time after a lengthy playback. So far I haven't got it to happen without Atmos running.
Screen touch response seems like it is not very sensitive. Coming from the axon 7 that you could hover over the screen and it would be detected at times, I find myself double tapping home a lot. Really sucks not being able to change nav bar key placement.

I came from the Axon 7 and screen responsiveness was horrible on mine. This phone is a significant leap forward from anything ZTE has offered or ever will offer.

I am having more small issues with the razer than I did on the axon. Like auto rotate not working at times, not being able to move files from the internal storage to the SD card listing to headphones and the dongle gets moved to much and audio cuts off. I am hoping that once there are custom roms somethings will be fixed.

Granted while I have not tried the dongle yet I have no problem moving files from internal to external sd and back again (I used a third party file manager). I have to ask the stupid question. Have you tried a factory reset?

It's not every file, some move some don't. No I have not reset yet, have not reached that point of annoyance yet. Don't get me wrong I really like the hardware it's the little software bugs that are what I have trouble with, and that's coming from a guy that usually runs buggy custom roms.

Can't say I've not had the auto rotate not work. It was annoying the home screen is set to portrait in Nova settings.
What files are you trying to move though? From the 64GB internal to a SD?
My only issues are random restarts when I try to wake up my phone, and the metal surrounding my power button being slightly bent.
hello, for my experience, i love this phone a lot, but for downside is,
1. Mirror cast, cast doesnt detect other device on my phone, its like not even trying to find.
2. Bluetooth, so hard to connect audio bluetooth to my car radio, even if i can connect it, it play for just a less than a minute, then it stop.
3. Vibration, yep is kind a anoying vibration.
4. Heat, playing a mobile legends for a minute like playing for a hour, but i solved with using razer phone hard cover, at least i didnt feel the heat too much.
So far is good, but compared to my s8 plus, razer still have a lot to do.
Cheers.
Hey all,
My 9's Bluetooth is complete garbage in my car. Constantly garbled and drops the connection often. It's pretty much unusable.
It works fine with my OP earbuds though.
Does OOS 12 fix the BT quality and also improve reception and call quality?
Thanks!

Are you converted or on stock?
I tried both. Both sucked equally.
Didn't have this problem on my 7 Pro.
The same happened to me. Try StagOS. It'll work.
That's weird - my OP9 has the best Bluetooth connection of any phone I've used. The range is insane and connection rock solid. Staying on oos11 because magisk hide is gone with android 12.

Magiskhide is still there. I've used oos12 with magisk v23 and no issue. Bluetooth is good if you remain on stock. A conversion from TMO to global completely irritates me with me Bluetooth range (about 2ft) and phone calls on a car stereo headunit.

Good point. I bought mine directly from OnePlus, so it's the global, not tmo version.

That may be my issue. I converted from T-Mo. The issue is consistent on both of our Hondas.
It works a lot better on the Ford though.
Still, even trying to go back to stock T-Mo with MSM didn't help it.

Oh that sucks. I have a 2020 civic and a 2020 Colorado and they both stream music fine but phone calls are completely robotic and choppy on converted from tmo to global and custom roms

Yeah, music's great. Just the calls are garbage. Works fine with the Z buds too.
We have a 15 Civic, 14 Odyssey and a 15 Ford Escape.
I've always seemed to have BT issues on calls with any cars I owned. With different phone brands too.
Wife has a Samsung phone and has no issues with at all with the van. Go figure.

Sorry typo. Conversion from T-Mobile to global A11 has Bluetooth call issues on stereo head units
Wonder if it'll be different on the European load.
I rented a Nissan Sentra this week while I was on a trip and still had problem. BT had some call issues, and Android Auto just refused to work. It would flap - connect, work for about 15-20 seconds, disconnect, then rinse and repeat. It was really annoying.
Gotta wonder WTF T-Mo did to this phone to make it different enough to have problems compared to the other models.
I'd sell it if it had actually held it's value. Resale price dropped on this one really quickly.
Almost wondering if I should go back to my 7 Pro.

I've never had nothing but perfect experiences with Bluetooth on stock rom. For me the issue is with conversion to global and custom roms. I know what you mean resale value doesn't hold because my device is fairly new and won't even sell for 400

Does anyone disagree with this pic?
Same here with Crdroid and Jabra Motion and Jabra Stealth but not in Volvo V60, Peltor Protac XPI or Jabra Elite 75T. No issues on OOS with A11 though. CN version with global.
