Hi all,
My old (now GF's) Z3 reboots after to much movement or putting down to hard. I'm assuming this is because it might have fallen to many times (with cover), with the result that the gyroscope became half defective. It seems to work still in other occasions (if the phone doesn't reboot).
Is there anyway to know for sure, and if I can repair this?
Kind regards,
Ruben
I could have the same issue as mine fall several time and now, it still works but once boot is complete, no time to "open" it that it reboot. Tried to put it in the fridge and didn't helped so it's not heat issue and I have no idea why this is rebooting because it still works .. but reboot at the end .. :|
Anyone ? Tried to recovery with Sony Companion which worked but still reboot after saying hello ...

I have a photon Q LTE
Something is terribly going wrong with this one , first the front camera stopped working , when i click , nothing happens , the button is greyed out i thought it was software so i factory reset , still nothing rear camera is working fine though.
then when i opened the keyboard the touch screen becomes disables , i can't do anything on via touch screen when keyboard is opened.
then now touch screen completely stopped working
i think hearing songs in bathroom was not a good idea , moisture got in , i believe , i tried many ways to dry it out but eveyrthing is becoming worse.
i am out of warranty and sprint charges 50 dollars and not guarantee of any recovery
any help would be highly appreciate.
All of the things you describe indicate some sort of hardware issue - with water certainly being suspect if you think it got into the device.
I'm not sure what we can suggest exactly, other than the obvious - throw it in rice and hope, although most of the components are sealed, so if you are experiencing issues it is probably too late.
Hi
I recently bought a new digitizer for my Xperia M from parts4repair.com and after I changed it, it worked fine. Next day I encountered a problem. The problem was that if I use phone for about 30 seconds, the digitizer freezes and I have to take out the battery to use the phone again. Although the touching of this digitizer is great.
I tried to make factory reset to see if it was software problem but it's probably hardware problem. I also tried using it in different conditions like warm and cold places. In cold places I could use it for more than a minute but in warm place it only takes less time for digitizer to stop working. So I think heat might also influence it.
Maybe someone has encountered similar problem and knows how to fix it
Thanks
Hello,
My father bought Xperia Z5 about a week ago.
Sometimes phone screen just goes black and the phone becomes unresponsive, nothing works except notification LED. It can even happen in mid call.
The only solution to fix this is to restart the phone using volume up + power button. When the phone is restarted, battery stats shows no data while the phone was frozen and it drains the battery much faster.
It has already happend twice in 7 days.
Does anyone else face the same issue?
Any reccomendations on what should I do ? Or should I just send the phone to warranty?
Thanks.
do a software repair with sony pc companion and report back
Ok I did the repair
2 days so far so good but im not 100% confident that it's gone. I'll reply if it occurs again
Sorry for reviving and old post. I guess the OPs issue as resolved by the companion repair?
I had this issue with my Z5 and non of the steps suggested (here or by Sony) worked - reset factory defaults, sony companion repair etc. I even waited for the 6.0 update to fix it and it made it worse . I sent my phone to Sony for repair, they said it was the screen which was replaced (at my expense) and when it came back it froze on the first charge .
Just got off the phone with Sony support and they said the most common cause of this issue is incompatible SD cards (or incompatible data on SD cards). Not sure I am convinced but thought I would mention it as I never saw this mentioned when googling this issue before!
Will post back if the issue reoccurs after reformatting my SD card (it had been used on a previous phone).
==Update==
Well that didn't take long. The phone crashed (within 3 hours) even without an SD card...
Wait a minute - Sony says the cause of the problem is the screen and makes you pay for the replacement???
Ever figure out what the problem was?

No, I've had to send it back to Sony multiple times with no fix. Now they have agreed to replace the handset and send me a new one in hopes it will fix the issue - here's hoping it's hardware, not a software issue.
And yes, Sony made me pay for a replacement screen, even though the screen wasn't the issue (it had a line of dying pixels, so wasn't 100%, but shouldn't have crashed the phone). No joy on a refund for the repair either.
Hello all! Some time ago my nexus 5 started to have some issues with the microphone and a couple of days after it stopped working. I searched how people generally fix it because I have no warranty and I didn't want to spend much money giving someone to fix it or even get another phone. So what I did was I open the motherboard plastic protection and put a tape (a bit thick) right below the camera (above the battery) to make some pressure on the mic connection. I closed it, closed the phone, turned it on and the mic was working again. So far so good.
Then I noticed that out of nowhere the screen went black and if I pressed the power button it would give only black light. After some research again I noticed that it wasn't the LCD problem because if I rebooted the phone (power button + volume down) it would work perfectly, but after some time it'd go black again. Sometimes it even makes weird colors, grey orange and some lines (like broken screen) and then goes full black.
I already factory reseted the phone but the poblem still persists. I wonder if it has something to do with the battery (maybe should get a new one) or with some hardware connections. What makes me think that isn't a hardware problem is because it always works during some time when I reboot it. But ofc im not 100% sure because it looks like this happened a little while after the mic fix.
I saw someone talking about memory cache wipe could fix this. I did try this recently but I don't think this could be the problem and this is why: Some moments ago I tried to reboot it to make the screen work again but this time the reboot didn't work. It started to give those weird colors and lines. So I connected it to the charger, waited a bit, tried to reboot again and it worked. The screen is now temporarely on and working what makes me think even more that it could be battery's fault.
I hope I explained everything well if you have any doubt please do ask. I'm just trying to know exactly what the problem is so I don't waste time and money fixing actually non problematic parts.
Thank you.
PS: Before I got the phone like 2 months ago, it was used for almost a year by a family member.
I really don't know if this is a right place or not but i want to mention it here, this started when i accidentally leave my phone at heavy rain. It stopped working for 2-3 days and when it started i found total loss over touch, i replaced it and then it was working fine except... its proximity and other sensors are not working and it take almost 5 min to turn on, i though it may be hardware issue, but than after some days it reboots normally and everything was working again except proximity, it remains this good for a while even doesn't get affected by reboots but then again everything was gone, after that day it happens for few times, i didn't recognise what made it go smoothly and than what made it worst again, help me with thar pls.... I also see color stripes for a while clicking on cancel in download mod....i'd installed stock rom more than 2 times and now on CM14.1 help me.....

Greetings and welcome to assist. If returning to stock doesn't work then it must be a hardware issue I'm afraid and there is little we can do to help with that. Really hope you manage to fix it
Good luck
