They tried that with me when I sent back a faulty device so I sent them an extract of the EU law concerning online sales stating that the seller must cover shipping costs for a faulty item, and they then sent me an email saying they would refund the postage which they did.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:
Yes, I can confirm that. It's especially annoying while deactivating bloat-ware. :mad:

Same is actually with the phone / contacts, that also scrolls up all the time.

Again, no showstopper but should both be fixed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
It never happened on my previous phone though, maybe it's an Android 4.4(.4) bug?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:
Could be, but I have no other phone with 4.4.4 to compare with ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] apolloms:
good info thanks. I'm just gonna eat the return shipping because i dont really have much recourse there since i paid the post office directly. but i filed a paypal dispute for the shipping to me that they did not refund so i will use that if they come back and i have to escalate it. do you still have a copy of it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slonn:
Sure - this is what I sent them:

Directive 99/44/EC (the Consumer Sales Regulations S.I no 11 2003) on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees provides a set of rules to protect consumers across Europe when buying goods. Article 3 of the Directive clearly states that: “The seller shall be liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity which exists at the time the goods were delivered, e.g. the goods do not show the quality and performance which are normal in goods of the same type and which the consumer can reasonably expect (…) In the case of a lack of conformity, the consumer shall be entitled to have the goods brought into conformity free of charge by repair or replacement, or to have an appropriate reduction made in the price or the contract rescinded with regards to those goods”.

and they denied my request...quoted back with this..if they deny again i'll escalate it.

Hello !

I have problems with my Z3C bought 3 weeks ago.

-Sometimes (when luminosity change for exemple), colors on the screen look lighter and they seem to be dirty. It's more visible on gray... mh I don't know if it's clear. :confused:

I'm not the only one with this problem.

-When I disable auto. luminosity, the notification LED stays lighted (in dark red) when I phone someone or when I use Hangouts...

-Yesterday, I was walking in town and when I took my phone from my pocket, I saw that a lot of things were done by mistake. For exemple, Stamina was OFF (always ON for me), a message was sent on messenger : "Ghiitj"... :confused:

So I disabled the double-tap unlock and it seems to be fixed but it's a little bit annoying because this feature is really nice but I can't use it anymore if I walk with my phone in my pocket...

So, anyone here got same problems ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] punkyd:
Mine dose the same but not so loud,try to push the panel and then the back,you would see that the back its doing that not the panel(at least mine its like that).

Songinformation are not transferred via BT

I can confirm this behaviour. I tested it on my way to work with my older phone with different Apps and different ROMs. All did their job transmitting all neede information to the cars BT radio. So what exactly is the problem ? So i would state that it is a problem of SONY's BT implementation...

Anyone with the same problem or maybe with a solution ? (Report in Sony forum)

Maybe this App could help ??? -> BT-Media fix

Screen casting to Chromecast

I tried the built in screen mirroring to Chromecast function the other day. I was amazed at how easy this was and the perfomance it showed. I used it to play Spotify, which worked fine even after screen was turned off (which makes the TV go dark accordingly). However, after a while the streaming of audio stopped, video mirroring still working fine. To get back audio streaming I had to reconnect to the Chromecast. This happened pretty frequently, maybe giving time to play 3 or 4 songs before having to reconnect.

Micro-sdcard detaches by it self but is still correct placed in phone...

Two times I have experienced that my Z3C says there is not a sd-card in the phone and when I look in my eg musicfolder nothing is there.

If I then open the hatch to the sd-card it is sitting there just fine?

Both times I just pressed the card in so it jumps out and pressed it back again and everything was fine again - but still???

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Po0yAn:
There are lots of reports and videos about screen's colorshifts while pressing certain parts hard enough, notebookcheck also mentions the issue in its review (Although gave the device 91 score which is the second best score it ever gave to a smartphone model). I hope the newer batches have better QC. The issues mentioned in the first post are enough widespread to be accepted without the need for any further proof.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
I need to press the screen on mine pretty damn hard before I see any kind color shift or rippling. This shouldn't even be considered an issue, it's an lcd and all lcd's do that when there is pressure on the panel. The glass is thin and somewhat flexible so I don't know why people are surprised to see some color shifts and ripples when pressing down hard.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:
Exactly!

I get this too but it's consistent between multiple devices, so I'm pretty sure it's an issue on chromecast's device or app side. Try reddit.com/r/chromecast

Has anyone tried to make WiFi geolocation work? I'm not sure of the English name of the feature, so basically I'm just talking about the feature that activates WiFi automatically when you're near a familiar WiFi network. It's been enabled since the beginning on my Z3c but still, WiFi does not turn on when I'm coming back home. Is there anything particular to do to make it work?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
It works well here. Haven't done anything special other than enabling the feature.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
It's not working that well for me so I just disabled it. Not sure how much it would help with battery life, but as it stands, I'm already getting excellent SOT with Wi-Fi always enabled so I'm not too torn up about it. Besides, if you enable Stamina Mode it's almost effective as turning off Wi-Fi when your screen is off.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tomas_v:
I have to oppose to that. I had (still have it) Acro S. The screen is terrible. I didnt use screen protector, cause i thought it will be something like Gorilla glass. It go tiny scratches in few months, and I have kept phone in a clean pocket.

So it got scratches from basically normal use. And I had Motorola Defy that had a proper Gorilla glass. That thing was amazing. It was in a pocket wit screws, bits of aluminum, dirt. Not a scratch. I was so disappointed in Acro S.

Plus, camera lens got scratched too. Blury photos. That the only reason I bought new phone. And I bought Z3 compact only cause of its size and specs and water proofing. Ordered Nillkin Amazing H+ protector for back and front. Not taking any chances this time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Xperia Acro S has a factory-applied screen protector that scratches easily, you can peel that off and the screen will be like new.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tomas_v:
Holy cow. You are right. I feel so stupid now. :) So much complaining and...

Thanks degraaff. I suppose camera lens doesnt have protector on it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Puzzlegal:
Doesn't seem to work for me, either.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Sadly it doesn't ;(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] getdunexpected:
Same here.. First I thought it was the screen protector but I don't think that's the case.

Kinda tryin to ignore it, strange thing nonetheless!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] neol23:
That's a system which Samsung introduced years ago with the first nexus - those stripes are doing something (I guess warming slightly) to remove the fingerprints.

Do not worry - it is better to have it ;).

Stamina mode still gives notifications

Hi, been having this phone for some days. I noticed that I have some 7-8% battery drain over night when the phone is completely idle. This happens even if I activate the stamina mode. I must tell that I leave the data and autosync on. The morning when I get up I see that the phone still has several notifications like email, whatsapp etc on my notification bar. But this should not be happening if stamina mode is acting the way it is expected to be right?

7-8% battery drain over night (8 hours) is unacceptable. My 3 years old galaxy s2 drains only 2% battery over night. I checked with the better battery stat and I notice that bam_dmux_wakelock & PowerManagerService.WakeLocks are consuming much of the waketime while idle.

Any thoughts?

puny flashlight

I've not had the phone for long, but the first thing I noticed was the puny flashlight! For some reason the camera LED as a flashlight is only about half as bright as my N4. No idea if this is because the LED itself has poor output or if the flashlight widget is lowering its output.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Yup, I noticed that too. I use my LED primarily as a flashlight and rarely, if ever, for photos, so it's been pretty disappointing in that regard. Nowhere near close to being a deal breaker, but it's unfortunate.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sveintore:
I tested white display at full brightness and it gives more light than the led.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
Shouldn't that be fixable by software?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
Depends on whether the LED itself is low output, or if the current to it is being throttled. I suspect the latter, because to my eyes the LED is much brighter when used as a camera flash. Perhaps Sony is worried about heat if the LED is on for too long.

Quick question about AutoGSM msgs.

Dear all:

Have a quick question regarding SMS msgs. When I use a special character, let´s say "á, é, í, ó, ú" (yes, spanish is my main language) I receive a warning msg that those characters are gonna make the msg to be shorten from 160 to 70 characters. In my old Samsung device I could find an option to disable that behavior, but not in my new Xperia device. Does anyone knows a trick for that?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Alx
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mariodiniz21:
I would to know a solution for this aswell.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kertong:
Been having the issue where I type too quickly on the keyboard and it turns the two taps into a swipe - or a double tap gets translated as long press.

Also saw this behavior come up in instagram - double tap to liking almost never works, takes about 4-5 tries to get it "liked".

Did an "adb shell pm block com.sonymobile.touchscreen.touchfilter" and reboot, and so far every single double-tap-to-like on instagram has been working for me. Keyboard also seems more responsive too, but it's only been 10 minutes or so so maybe it's placebo.

Keeping fingers crossed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
Have you tried using a different messaging app? Some might be better than others for recognizing the correct character sets and not sending them as UTF-16 characters (which shorten SMS lengths to 70). I currently use Textra, which also has the option of stripping out accents etc. when sending a message. Chomp and Handcent are two other popular SMS apps that might handle it better. AFAIK it can also be reliant on the network operator, but if it was working before on another phone and you haven't changed operator then that's not a factor.

Disable notification of data toggle

Well the title says it all. I have seen some solutions on xda for other xperia devices. But they dont work on Z3c or at least I'm not able to implement them. Any solutions? Its quite annoying to see the notification pops up every time I trun the data toggle on or off.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
Yeah the "reminder" pop ups are annoying. There is also one that suggests moving stuff to ad card once your internal memory is 30% full or something. Sure I wanna move stuff to my ad card that has 500mb free space...

Hello,

Got my new Z3 and so far so good. However i have a couple of questions.

1. sounds. is there a way to quick link to the media volume. if you long press the power button then select mute this has no effect on media. if you then start playing media it could be at full volume. Is there a way to stop this quickly?

2. why is it no longer possible to copy to the sd card. You can only do this using the sony file manager that wont handle hidden folders. Is ther another option (astro wont work)

3. is there any way to change the sound when you remove it from a dock?

4. any way to get the movie maker app to select the photos you choose and not the ones you took that day?

So, as usual, there is no perfect app, just a bunch of almost-theres

In the recent days of usage, I've been noticing the same thing I had with my HTC One X (or was it Desire I had before that...). The issue is that while on the move (bus/tram and sometimes even walking), the phone tends to lose data connectivity because it can't decide whether to stay on 4G, HSPUPA or 3G. When I had similar problem with HTC, I found out that it's a hardware issue that can be fixed only by sending it to service. Does anyone know if this is true?

You have to edit one line in build.prop which contains nfc notification to show, from false to true.

No, but it seems theres nothing malicious from that, or is it?

New 5.1.1. has option to pick small or big icons in home screen. And also after updateing on 5.1.1. seems that notifications do not show any info at all in notification bar apart form theyre icon showing.

Seems you got low free RAM memory so thats why most likely its redrawing your position. Mine works just fine.

If youre using 4g network its most likely cause. Try reflashing another firmware and factory resetting it.

It seems your battery or motherboard is dead. But pray its just battery :angel:
