Hi,
Has anyone seen any actual videos of Xperia Z3 Drop or stress test? For the sake of science, it must know if the z3 is better or the same as z2 as well as how it'll hold up . I've been seeing to many of the fake drop tests on youtube so just wondering if anyone came across anything.
How do you know that they're fake?
I have not seen any drop tests yet, might be a few weeks before we see some.
As I see: Z3 has much stronger bezel than Z2 but the glasses easy to crack when drop!

I have heard similar reports, that's why I was very careful with mine.
Hi!!
Today i got my Sony Xperia z5 (e6653). Phone is great but i have one problem. One speaker (on the top) is louder than second speaker. I'm not sure that is ok but i want to ask about it other people who has z5.

Mine seem balanced but I'll likely be returning it as my backlight is uneven

No from a major phone retailer in the UK
It's not massively noticable but I want it to be perfect for £500+
Mine sounds slightly more quiet on the bottom than the top, although I think it has much more to do with the top speaker being at a different angle. When I turn it sideways I can't tell a difference from right to left
Thank you for answer. My phone has the same problem with speakers but maybe speakers in Xperia works like that. I sent question to Sony Xperia on Facebook and they said that they Xperia's have louder top speaker too.
Mine does exactly the same! Got mine from Vodafone UK today and the bottom speaker is quite a bit weaker. Where did you get yours from? Maybe a dodgy batch? I've had Sony's before and never had this problem.
I think it's software related as it sounds like something is suppressing it for some reason? I've done a factory reset, cleared cache in audio setting and still the same. It's annoying as it makes me think my ears are playing up.would be interesting what build number people are on? Mine is 32.0.A.4.11, I'm looking for generic UK ftf if anyone has a copy???

Kind of off-topic but since you got yours from Vodafone UK, is it the Bond Edition and if so, what Bond content is included, if any?
My top speaker is a little louder as well.

Haha the box which has spectre 007 written on it and that's all I've discovered so far. The phone is a gun metal grey colour and I though it was meant to be black but I guess that's the normal colour? Oh and one speaker lower in volume that the other but maybe that's some bond trick that makes it different??

Mine is gunmetal too and the color states "Graphite Black". So you did get the Bond Edition, that's nice. Supposed to be able to download Spectre themes, ringtones and wallpapers through the Xperia Lounge app.

Ok after having a play with mine I've noticed that if I stick it really close to my face its obvious one speaker is louder than the other. BUT when I hold it at arms length with elbows bent it sounds like normal stereo, very clever Sony but doesn't help if you're watching or listening to something up close. Try it.

I can't find anything what so ever to do with bond. I think maybe mine isn't and its just the packaging to promote it. I've logged into xperia lounge and all Vodafone apps with no joy! Frustrating! I wanted to be bond!
Thanks for trying, it may not be available yet. I'm sure when it is there will at least be pictures on the web but right now there is nothing anywhere.
Don't feel bad, I want to be Bond too
i think its normal, i have the same issue (if thats what you call it) on my Z3 :/
Just got my phone and my top speaker is MUCH louder than my bottom one. Does anyone know if we can fix this with root? Or if Sony can fix it with a software update?

Mine was the same but after a fiddle it seems to be OK. Give it a couple of days and if you hold it at arms length with your elbows bent it actually sounds normal. Its definitely software related.
Mine was really noticeable on day one but either I've got used to it or its fixed itself it sounds normal and actually better than it did when I first got it. Maybe the system has to adjust or something? Who knows. Hope it helps

Hmm OK thanks, I'll give it a couple days but if it doesn't fix itself I'll have to return it. Someone on the Sony forum said it's a hardware fault so that's got me worried.
Can everyone with the phone state whether they have this issue or not, so we can see whether it's hardware or software related.
Good day everyone!
I can confirm that after a while speakers volume is aligned. Bottom speaker`s volume now is exactly the same as a top speaker`s volume. But when i bought the phone and start testing, bottom speaker`s sound was much weaker than top speaker.
Geez people. Every Xperia Z above Z2 has this "problem". Each speaker is supposed to sound a bit different. I.e. in my Z2 the bottom speaker is more bassy, but the top one is clearer. It's not a problem, these phones are just made that way.
My xperia m2 has gone back under warranty cos I can't turn it on or charge, I have just realised that I recently removed the rubber speaker cover to give me some volume.do you reckon this will be classed a modification rendering my warranty dead!! Thanks

if you have xperia m2 , why post on xperia z5?
Sorry.Please forgive me.
I could not find an m2 forum and thought there might be a SME on this Xperia forum, sorry for creating you a bit of work there,I feel bad that i forced you to respond. Thanks for your help, built my hopes up there, cheers.
Rubbers from speakers should not interfere with charging the phone...
Thanks mate , I agree 100%, but my question is 'do you think that Sony would say the warranty is invalid cos I 'modified' the device' cheers.
Don't think that would be a problem...
It could happen, but it not likely.

If they will find water inside or rusty parts, they will not give you the warranty. Especially that you removed the rubber... IMHO

Hello guys i am a long time siny fanboy since the p990i till now rocking an m4 aqua which is a replacement for my z1 till the z5 fets a fair price ( 6500egp for a brand new one) so I am going to buy a used one for 4500(without warranty) but i am scared from the so called blur camera problem so i really need ur help for easily spotting this problem before throwing my money can any onw guide me how to spot it please
And sorry for my English
to be honest, I don't really care the so-called blur issue. Think about the circumstances you will use a phone camera: 1, ig or fb or tw, in that case most likely there will be a filter or a mosaic or crop on the photo, then small blur wont even bother. 2, very precious moment that you want to save, well in that case, most likely you will post it on ig or fb or tw, then fall back into circum.1.

Some research isn't that hard. It's easy to find more information about this.
For your own convenience, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/im-doing-tally-z5-series-affected-left-t3242302
There are plenty examples with and without blur over there. It's up to you.
I bought the Z5, first device was faulty but I got it replaced and the second one has a bit blurry also at the edge but I just love this phone.
Ok last thing, where is the water indicator located at in the z5 ?
Hello all,
A friend's Sony Xperia Z3 phone started to present strange screen issues, the screen completely garbled on power up, then the garble starts to scroll down and some parts of the screen are visible. I looked around and found some people with similar problems but didn't find any solution apart from sending the phone to Sony for repair. Some pictures:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=14185&pictureid=55641
Anyone managed to fix this kind of issue by replacing the screen or the screen cable?
Thanks in advance.
Pedro

This looks like a bad LCD to me.

You think its worth it to replace the LCD? I'll check how much is a new LCD...

Would be worth it to me.
Just make sure you get good adhesive. Otherwise the front will fall off.
This stuff is supposed to be good https://de.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Tesa-61395-Tape/IF317-072-1, but I haven't tested it on the Z3, yet.
