+ 1 here too. My gf's phone does it quite frequently, yet mine does not. The difference is that I have unlocked bootlaoder, she does not. Both on the same ROM (KA06) but different kernels (stock for her, DooMKernel V6 for me).

Otherwise, we are on the same network, and came from the same stock firmware originally

I had a similar problem but with Google Calendar, I searched on Google and there is a Solution you just need to clear the app Data for the Google app that stores them, and then when you restart phone it will try to sync it from scratch.

Sorry before you do this back up contacts to Memory card first just incase!

sd card woes

I have uk 4g xperia z on t mobile and a sandisk 32gb card, the first 2 weeks were fine but now the the sd card refuses to be recognised. Any body else got this? Sony rep said I am using too high a class of sd card- they said use a class 4 instead of a class 10 card.

wifi drains battery like hell and sometimes there are hangs for which i need to hard restart the phone (power+vol up) any fix for this ???
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh1234:
I have the wifi problem as well but only when connected to certain APs... When I enable WIFI at work my battery looses ~5%/h with screen off. This is actually pretty much... 20h without touching the phone is not acceptable. At home things look rather different, the suspend_backoff wakelock doesn't show up at all.

I investigated this further and there has been a problem with some HTC and Samsung phones previously, no posts relating to the Z yet. I guess this is related to the noise which is put through the work network, ~100 clients (LAN and WLAN) and with sometimes 10 Broadcasts/sec and the Z not filtering this out as it should. BTW never had this problem with my SAGA, Galaxy S or any of the nexus devices we use as test devices at work (they stay there day and night and are often turned on for long periods of time without user interaction sometimes and don't drain in the same network).

Strange screen effect

Hi, first at all sorry for my poor english, no my language.

After two weeks of using my Xperia Z i've noticed a really boring effect at the screen; when I press the bezzel at the lower left side, a weird spot appears at screen, it looks like the LCD is pressing somewhere at his base. You can appreciate the deffect here:

sorry can't post links, too new at xda. If you want look for my chanel at youtube "Emilio Puga Fuentes" only have this video on it.

The best way of reproducing it is applying some torsion on the phone's body like I show at my video.

I've sent my phone to vodafone spain, and they said that can't find any problem.

Anyone with this problem?

Can't recover connection on Keep wifi on during sleep (only when plugged in) setting

Settings related to Wi-Fi

1. Connected

2. Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep (ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN)

3. Auto IP support (ON)

4.Stamina mode (ON)

5. Location-based Wi-Fi (ON)

Scenario:

1. Open phone after long sleep (during mornings)

2. Wi-fi is on, wi-fi icon on notification bar.

3. Check mail, cannot fetch mail. (ok, wait for a minute, maybe wifi is still recovering connection)

4. Seems wi-fi isn't connected anymore although there is still the wifi icon on the notification bar.

5. I open speedtest and it cannot connect to server for testing.

6. So on my phone, I had to turn off wifi and turn on again. Only then is wifi connected.

Can anyone track the settings I have wrong to solve this minor issue?

i am having problems with charging. it takes too long. :( i started at 1pm with 17%, then now at 745pm, 95%. im using the in-box charger. any solutions?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swrajjoshi:
The problems I have noticed

I have been a proud owner of Xperia Z for over a month now. I switched from iPhone 4s to XZ and the experience has been splendid! During this time, I have noticed these problems-

1. Lockscreen is not feature rich or user friendly.

--- Replaced it with Widgetlocker or Lockerpro.:D

2. The speaker is weak.

--- Applied MOD-PureXAudio and the loudspeaker is now better than iPhone 4s! :D

Problems not resolved-

1. When a call ends, the dialer makes a very loud beep sound. I love the dialer (that's why I haven't switched) but this beep sound is a major irritation esp. if call ends before I can pull phone away from my ears. :silly:

2. Although I am using PureXAudio, the speaker phone is not at all good. :p

3. Poor wifi - Wifi signal stays weak in my office and at home. My iPad 3 shows full signal when my XZ is holding on to last bar! In office, I frequently get - "Authentication problem". We have to use corporate logon to sign into Wifi. The connection is established as soon as I tap on Connect. :crying:

4. For unknown reason my XZ keeps losing Data connectivity in between. I have seen this happen when Wifi is on, which I thought could be due to "wifi policy" but when I am outside with no wifi, I keep losing the Data. The network connection is solid. It's just the data. Only way to get it back is - turn on airplane mode - lock phone - unlock phone - turn off air plane mode.

I have researched XDA forums but no resolution on above problems yet. Please share your findings. :)

guys............im using xperia ZL, but my sister using Z.. all that she complains about is that its very fingerprint phrone.. but in the software side

-poor connection on wifi(but still connected from deep sleep when phone wakes up)

-Stamina mode works(but when lowbatt ofcors the LED lyt stops)

-bug on camera app(some times 2secs to launch to 4-5secs)

its the only issue on my sisters Z.. so far its a good phone to use.. its sleek design makes me want it..

i tried a solution flashing UK unbranded FTF .434.. and all that is fixed.. even the nfc when turned on it shows up..

i root it also and installs MOD pureXaudio by ZEro.. links in my sigs.. and that should do it..

i think for those having this issues just try flashing a UK version..

i hope helped you out guys..:good::good:

This shouldn't happen.... my XZ always charges in under 3 hrs. Can you get battery checked for issues?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoChinu:
Are you running apps like a torrent downloader while charging? Actually last night when I was downloading something and using my phone to check the net my phone discharged quicker than it charged! So I can imagine when you just download with screen off that it might charge extremely slow.
