[Q] Strange light on the bottom left border - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
In low light conditions I can see a light coming from the bottom left border exactly on the lanyard hole. I can't understand if that could be a problem for the waterproofing. I've already submerged my z3 for 25 mins and it still works, so I don't know, someone else has the same "defect"? Thank you

It is known defect...

Is it just an aesthetical defect or it could cause problems? Thank you

As far as I heard it did not affect waterproof ability...but anyway I would keep my Z3 out of water...

Common issues with this phone

This phone is the best in its price range in my country,but I have read some reviews and user opinions and found issues like :
-phone memory filling unnecessarily
-camera quality, focusing,over exposure
-mic quality
-restarting due to home screen wallpapers
-touch screen sensitivity
-wifi not stable
I dunno whether they are present in all phones or just some, so could u guys tell us the truth about those issues????
Thanks
The only issues I never noticed on my phone are restarts due to wallpapers and WiFi being unstable. Everything else happens with me.

Everything else ??? LOL,that's no biggie , i think the touch screen sensitivity problem comes from the fact that many owners of sony xperia l used to have sony xperia sola which has a super sensitive screen and they aren't used to the less sensitive screen of xperia l .
Well, any other issues other than those ???????

Don't have that problem but I heard that is due to cache which I'm cleaning nearly everyday.

Yee, have that too. You have to lower down a exposure otherwise your photo will get nearly white. It's only on 2.17 firmware, on 1.36 it was way better so Sony have to fix it.

Nothing wrong here, they here me clear everytime I'm talking. The only thing I found out is that the microphone in my phone take's a little longer to start work than it supposed to be.

Yes, I think is due to cache but I have heard it also happend to users using Spotify etc.
Maybe Sony will fix it in the next update.

I would only say touch sensitivity. Remember, it already has a screen protector so using another film sheet will reduce the sensitivity.

Are you sure? If use anti-finger or diamond can fix it?
Remove original protector replace new one?

The Xperia L has a plastic protective layer over the screen. This is default and should not be removed. You may blame it partially for touch issues.
I have read that Xperia L has extra protection on its screen due to this company fitted transparent plastic cover.
The default plastic protective layer should not be confused with a phone screen's protector which is usually bought separately and saves scratches on screen.
I was using a normal protector which wasnot made for Xperia L and thus it wasnt perfect. However, yesterday I got a new screen protector which has improved the touch response drastically. I think it is matt finished / super clear material. It improved my multi touch issues even when I pinch in vertical direction

[Q] Problem with photo flash - halo effect

Hallo to all, this is the first time I write here and I hope you can help me.
I am an happy owner of Honor 6 L04 version (European) but I have a problem with the photos: every time I use flash (inside or outside in the dark), the photo have a white halo on bottom and on the side. It's an effect like a smoke on the photo, so the flash is unhelpful, rather it ruins the photos.
I think that the problem is a too much strong light, but I cannot imagine that a wonderful and well-finished smartphone like this has a so evident similar problem.
Do you have the same problem? And have you found a solution?
Thanks a lot to anyone helps me and excuse me for my English.

Do you have a case or back cover on your phone?
The problem might be the case cutout is too close to the flash/rear screen guard is improperly fitted.

Thanks for the reply. I have the same problem also without any case.
Don't you have the same problem on your device? Are the photos that you make in a dark location clear?

Yes they are clear. Why don't you post a couple of these photos. Might give us a better idea.

Z3 "a strange light" near lanyard hole - screen defect, problem

Hi guys!
I've got a brand new Z3 for christmas and I do have a strage problem.
It's the screen underlight comming out of the edge of my screen near lanyard hole. And now I see it appears also on the counter side... 3 times smaller but it is.
I'm uploading pics so you can see what I mean.
Have anyone the same problem?
Do I need do return my phone?
Is my phone waterproof?
P.S.
I have Z1 until now and I don't have such a problem...
I have had lcd backlight leak like that before, exchanged 2 units for it but both were still waterproof. Best way to test is type in the dialer *#*#7378423#*#* and go into pressure test, press the screen a little with all flaps closed and see if pressure changes. If it's not waterproof pressure won't change.
Thank you!
It's working. Pressure changes with flaps closed and don't with opened.
So the last question:
It's only my will to exchange it or not?
Best regards,
Karol

Hi, how much did it cost you for repair?

I have the prob too...i guess if its not a major one then i'll just ignore it...
Just don't the pressure sensor test and it starts around 118 then when I apply pressure it goes tocabout 122 then quickly goes back to 118 does this mean my z3 is water tight lol
Sorry just not sure if it's meant to stay around 122 till I realise the pressure
Thanks

Need urgent HELP plz.

Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.

Was that a joke?
Of course not, I wasn't...
That happens with MacBook too! I mean thats electrical discharge / leakage. Thats pretty normal. You might get a minor shock if you lick the metallic contacts or if the same comes in contact with your sensitive areas like elbow, belly and below that
Relax!

Not at all.
Same happens on my OP3, but it stopped after few months randomly. I think you shouldn't get the replacament unit, or at least i didn't because i don't live in a country that oneplus is officially selling devices, if you do and it's not much pida, go ahead, but you might get the same resultl lol

Basically
I just wanna know if this extra current can affect my OP6 or not?
Like battery life or circuits in the mother board etc...

I got it replaced and it's working fine now...

Springy feeling Oneplus 6

Greetings human beings,
I have this little issue and was wondering is some of you also have this problem.
When you tap the back side of the phone or you lay it down on a hard surface, the inside of the phone feels a little bit like a spring. it isn't an annoying issue, but it certainly is there.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Yeah tap on bottom right on the back. You will feel that spring . May be the vibration motor. But annoying yes

Yep, just like what my old Galaxy S3 did.

I can confirm this. I hadn't noticed until you just mentioned it. Doesn't bother me but it is likely the vibration motor.
