I Just Owned this Xperia Z3 for a month,and i dip it in the water and suprise suprise its not waterproof at all

List Of Problems:

-The Camera it always fogged,and i read it will be gone in a hour or two then its already 5 hour and nope

-The Mobile data problem,No Signal at all so its pretty much a trash outside of wifi zone

-Cant Charge at all , i only could charge it with the magnetic charging cable

Just Read online in here too the back cover is not sealed completely

This is my First sony phone, well my experience is , Sony Phone is bad
[Xperia Z3 General] nedooo:
Add to list...top speaker crackling, gap between display and frame, display shows ripple effect when pressed, bright spots on the max brightness at the bottom of the display...all hardware based on bad manufacturing...
[Xperia Z3 General] Ducter:
I am pretty happy with mine, considering it's the D6616 T-mobile version and flashing anything besides stock is not doable at the moment it still satisfies me.

I had an xperia z ultra and besides the poor quality camera, I loved the phone. After selling it, I went back to my note 3 then the g3, sold my note and gave the wife the g3 when T-mobile put the Z3 on sale for 500. Sure it's not perfect but what is? I have no display issues, glass and frame line up and tested the waterproof ability of the phone prior to getting it wet, did that because I understand that errors in manufacturing can and do happen.

If you have issues with the phone, contact your provider or Sony, it has a warranty because they also know errors in manufacturing occur. I always go back to T-mobile when I have issues, they have always handled it for me.

As an example, when I decided to get this phone, did some research on it and found the screen is subject to cracks caused by temperature changes, I asked the T-mobile rep about it and he had heard of that, I asked him to note my account with the issue and that if I have that issue they will send me a new phone, he was more then happy to do that. Once I received my phone, knowing I have a 14 day buyers remorse I called T-mobile back and verified that my account was notated about the screen and that if I have that issue, they will infact replace it, which they will.

Point of all this is know what you are buying and know that you have certain rights as explained in the warranty, I have always found if you approach them in a polite manner, most people will help you, the times they don't I hang up and call right back, get a different rep and try again.
[Xperia Z3 General] nedooo:
Yes I went to repair center to claim warranty, and after ten days they gave it back to me with few more scratches and wrote they cant find any fault, so I took photo of the display showing issue (lucky me I got gift from my brother Samsung NX1000, making some nice photos) and transferred it to Z3 and set it as wallpaper LOL

Then went back to service and showed them after that they told me next week I will get my phone, and they should replace display and motherboard...

But all of this HW issues are well known so far...all reported...
[Xperia Z3 General] Ryu5671:
Hey Man im thinking to take the warranty but it said, no water damage i meant realy can i warranty it or im pretty much a dead man
[Xperia Z3 General] tomo100brt:
How am I loking to service repair in my country (Croatia). They are all tomfools. Not only they don't now how to repair big problems but are avouching you in their stupidity. I saw that many times. And I had my experience with them when back glass cracks on XPERIA Z2. When I brought them device I was polite and they told me that it is foulty device and I will probebly going to get new one. But after a week they called me asking me if I dropped it. And then I realized how stupid they are. Crack was one line from edge of phone to the camera, not from some center point of impact if you understand me. And they were trying to avouch me that this was dropp and warrenty is off. So when I threatened them with accusation they told me they will advise with Sony UK. After 10 days servicce repair gave me new XPERIA Z2.

So you have to be persistent if you wan't to achieve something. It is not Sony to blame if repair service is bad in your country.
[Xperia Z3 General] carasd:
So heres my opinion. Just dont believe in sony's advertising . If you know an electronic device will spoil in the water, well dont put your device in water. I dont say sony doesnt have responsabilities. It happened to me.

I put my xperia z3 in water then i lost signal and data. When i take my device to warranty after two weeks i just got the answer : "does not apply for misuse of the device" .

So Sony is telling me something. They dont care about costumers or costumers having troubles with their device. They just care about selling lies, because when someone tells them they just did what their advertising told them what can you do then is your fault.

Anyway.... I am so disappointed about Sony. Is a good device. The best i have ever had but in customer care they stink
[Xperia Z3 General] carasd:
So.... nobody has a solution for the Mobile data problem and No Signal?
[Xperia Z3 General] CRCinAU:
In Australia, Sony have been taken to task on the whole waterproof claim. They have pretty much said that they will replace devices with water damage.

Thankfully, we have strong consumer protection laws to hold them to account.
[Xperia Z3 General] dizzyman44:
I'm sorry to hear Sony has a bad camera because Sony has a long-standing reputation for its excellent camera and even Samsung uses Sony's camera on their cellphones. I'll never put my phone into water to test its waterproof. I'd rather try the pressure sensor thing.
[Xperia Z3 General] nedooo:
Not bad at all, camera is at least good if not better then good...
[Xperia Z3 General] netizensmith:
Z3 is a fantastic device. Along with the Note 2 (before Samsung's awful firmware upgrade which trashed it) it's the best phone I've ever had. However, like many others have found, it simply isn't waterproof. Mine got replaced but I now treat my new one like I would all previous phones i.e. keep it away from water.
[Xperia Z3 General] gomek111222:
wifi reception is terrible. i am at hotel now. i can even watch video with my asus tablet but xperia z3 doesn't even connect to same wifi. i am considering to sell this phone because of that.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikbob:
My phone's stuck on the firmware from April 1st (specifically LRX21V.WW-ASUS-Z00A-2.13.40.13_20150401_8390_user044030427_201501601090010000500001). I have the TW 4GB/32GB/1.8GHz version of the phone and I have not ever unlocked the bootloader or rooted.

I can check for a OTA but it doesn't come up with anything. I was told to download the firmware from ASUS's support site and flash it from there. I downloaded the WW zip (my phone is currently running the WW version) and made sure it was *-user.zip and put it in the Internal Storage but my phone doesn't detect it. I've rebooted, recopied it, tried with a different version of firmware (still newer than my version) and no matter what I do I don't get the notification to update. I've also since factory reset my phone, which hasn't helped.

ASUS told me to try downloading the WW_2.14.40.19 zip and trying to update with that, but I don't get the notification to update either. My friend who also has the same model as me has exactly the same problem and we both have Android OS swallowing up ~60% of the battery per charge by using up the CPU, which is very annoying.

First I flashed a pre-rooted ROM (Like in this tutorial: asus-zenfone.com/2015/04/asus-zenfone-2-pre-root-systemimg.html)

After that, my phone detected the update files.

I hope this will help
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandanp:
I have same problem
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGecko:
That most likely indicates that you have CN device with WW rom slapped on top of it. The only way for OTA is unlocked bootloader and TWRP install, or ADB sideload full update each time new firmware released. If you still can return the device - do it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] non33:
Try:

1. Copy the downloaded firmware file to MicroSD

2. Rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

3. Go to recovery mode

And the file should be detected and the update process should start immediately.

This is technically not an answer....

Which ROM where you using when your phone began boot looping (stock or custom). What you should have done was try a complete factory reset(did this a couple of times to my xt1068 when it was in boot loop). Can i ask the names of the stock firmware you used (the full information about them) and the commands you used. Let me see if i can help you:D
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kesy85:
Thank you for your answer.

I had a stock firmware 5.02 with stock recovery, can't remember the exact version but i guess it was the "retde" one

I tried to wipe cache and userdata but it won't get out of the boot loop (did you mean this by full factory reset?)

I've tried RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_CFC.xml,Retaildsdsall_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16_Easy_Installer, RETAILDSDSALL_EU_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_CFC.xml, RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14_cid7_CFC_SVC.xml, XT1068_4.4.4_DSDS_ALL.23_Easy_Installerand and even RETUGLB_XT1063_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid9_CFC.xml

I tried also some variation on the fastboot commands but mainly like this:

mfastboot.exe oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
