Well i know this issue is raised before also but it was getting too annoying for me that i made video to show the sony that what type of problem almost many xperia L users are facing .How am i supposed to use the device when the screen flickers like this. I did factory reset and i did everything. I hope to get answer from the sony , fix the bugs or end this 4.2.2 update rolling out and save the people.
Because there are somepeople out there who doesnt even know how to downgrade phone , they will face the lifelong problems.
Here is the video of what type of problem i am facing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGTqSY52tO8
If sony will not solve this problem , i will never buy the sony device again in my life
I don't see the screen flickering
Sent from 100 years in the future
The first time I updated to 4.2.2 using World Generic version I had,
1.Internel memory problem where memory gets full even I dont have any data inside the storage
2.Screen flickering
3.Left side of display tearing apart
4.Battery consuming (Heating)
after all of that I flashed the Philippine one and luckily the storage error was not thier but other problems are there!
And finally I have decided to come back to 2.17! I hope SONY will release proper,bugless one soon.
Hello guys, i would like to know whether you face any problem with your sony z3 dual , especially with issues like waterproof.
i heard that the sony z3 normal version had issues with its waterproofing etc
thank you
Only issue I found so far is camera app. It always says error: recording in progress in another app. cannot record. But everything works fine. It happens everytime I enter camera app. Quite annoying.

Do you have the OK google feature on?, It's on by default and there is a bug affecting the Camera app with that option. Check to see if it's that, let;s hope that Sony is taking note and plan to fix this in the next update.

Ohhh. I see. Yea, I'm using the Google Launcher with google now detection on everywhere. Hmmm. I hope they fix it too..
I had a dual sim, no water proof issues however one of the sim slots did not function. The SIM 1 would have intermittent capability. Sometimes it would say that I need to place a sim in the slot other times it just would not hold service. SIM 2 worked without any issues. I just returned it for a regular D6603.

I heard its a google now launcher problem? Are you using GNow launcher too?
I have no main problem basically. But I'm not really happy with some points:
- Not true Dual Sim Dual Standby: you can't call each other. You can't hold a call when another call come. Note 3 Duos can do.
- Not really high quality G lens. As I know Sony G lens is very high end lens brand.
- Camera lens seem easily to crack. I have small cracked althought not decrease image quality in most pics! Of course no drop!
- Camera performance same as regular Z3: not very good, accept extreme low light condition.
- This is the first Android phone I have to use stock, without rooting. I have to wait locked bootloader rooting method. I want to hide softkeys with "Auto Hide Soft Key" for full screen usable. I also want to remove some bloats + install xposed + optimize it for better battery life.
- Phone easily to reach high temp with games, sometime with long time 3G connection.

No I'm not using Google launcher or any other launcher.
still facing the problem.
Ah I have another prob: call quality is avarage, not very good. Sometime with distortion.
External speaker call volume = low with only bottom speaker!
waterproofing issue anyone ?
Please let me know if any of you guys who faced waterproofing issues with the Sony z3 dual Thank you
I haven't encountered any waterproofing issue on Z3 Dual.

notifications volume
hello the only problem I have so far is the extremely low notification volume although I have set it up to the max...I don't hear the whatsapp and sms notifications I have to constantly check my phone...any solutions for that?
Recently, I bough a Sony Xperia Z3, and I've noticed some pretty major latency/input lag primarily when you're scrolling, when you scroll, the time between the moment you touch the screen to stop the scrolling and when it actually stops scrolling is really big.
This also doesn't just happen when scrolling it affects gaming, I downloaded the game GolfStars and there's a slider you need to touch and stop to get the ball going straight, and because of the latency you need to touch it before it gets to the destination. This is just an example of the myriad of issues the latency this phone has could cause.
Fixes I tried and did not work:
*Force GPU Rendering
*Touch & Hold Delay set to "short"
*Disabled all image and graphic enhancers.
*Enable Glove Mode
So, is this a software or hardware issue? Or is there no issue, and it's just how the phone was made to work?
I had similiar problem with my Z1 ,i sent it to sony but they won't fix it ;/ its 100% hardware problem

Wow, so it's been a problem since the Z1 and they still haven't fixed it?
I wonder if it's a design philosophy.
And how did you cope with this issue?
I'm still within the period to change the phone for another but I really had my hopes up for this phone especially with the PS4 functionality but this issue is major and it's making me reconsider and changing it for something like the M8 which its screen is SUPER responsive. Just how it should be.
JoseZ3, it would probably help if you'd indicate what FW you actually use. I'm in possession of a Z3C and a Z2, there's no such thing like latency/input lag anywhere. Probably a FW update helps to get it addressed.
No latency here at all.

So when you're, let's say, on a webpage, and you flick your finger so it scrolls down, and then you tap the screen so the scrolling stops, it stops immediately?

Yes, it stops immediately, I tried that as soon as I saw your post. I am not much of a gamer, so I cannot confirm if it happens in games or not, but I'll install one or two tomorrow just to be sure.
It seems to me that I was lucky to get a perfect device, so many people are complaining about camera, lags or broken glass, I don't have any of these problems. The only problem I share with the rest of Z3 owners is quiet notification sound.

I was able to fix it!
The latency went away when I turned off "Magnification Gestures" aka tap to zoom. Now it's snappy and responsive.
So to anyone who might read this in the future and is experiencing the same problem try and disable magnification gestures.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help me.
You have fixed what you must have turned on yourself as this function is off by default! Only wonder why you didn't notice the "problem" after having turned it on?!

Hello all,
I've recently bought an Xperia XA and have been satisfied with the device itself, i know its a new phone and we could await some updates, but what i encountered last night made me create an account here and ask.
I was low on battery, basically 1% and attached it to the charger i received with the phone itself, thus the phone goes into normal mode no battery saving or stamina, nothing and no third party apps installed for it. I started browsing Instagram, through google chrome, and even though the phone was charging it couldn't get up even 1% for the time I was on it, basically 30mins almost.
Now, your thoughts, I see on the forums the battery drains fast, cannot basically use it without stamina mode, but do you think that this is 'normal' or should I go back and ask for a different device?
Do you think the updates to the system itself will solve the problems in the future? I was on an Xperia M2 before and was really satisfied, battery lasted whole day no stamina mode, no problem. And from the specifications I read its supposed to have a good battery(XA).
Thank you,
Friction

Not sure about the charging but one thing I never do is use a device whilst charging, there is a known wifi bug that doesn't let the device reach deap sleep on the original firmware are you on the latest firmware version as the wifi bug is fixed and there's a new kernel aswell apparently I also recommend either a factory reset or software repair once latest firmware is available. How is it compared to the m2 as I'm making the same upgrade next week all being well and I'm following everything closely it's a stunning looking device only had a few brief goes with one don't know whether to get black/charcoal one or lime gold one

The current build number is 33.2.A.2.35 and I did do a factory reset since the update but didn't help much. For eg I've taken it off the charger this morning @ 6.00 and haven't been using it much, a couple of viber messages and pictures taken, one short call (under 1 min) basically its on my desk while I'm at work, only chatting with my gf a bit. And it dropped right now to 40% . And it is in Stamina mode, with optimization disabled for viber and whatsapp.
*edit call quality way better than m2 forgot that*
Now compared to the M2, hands down like going from a zastava car(serbian) to a benz i'd say, works flawlessly, the camera both front and back is better than expected, zoom is nice, design and aluminium body are perfect with slight screen curvature. It says mid range but certainly doesn't feel like it. Only issue beside the battery is finding accessories for it, screen protection or casing, at least in Serbia, as it is brand new, most people in shops haven't even heard of it.

Only cases I've seen myself are genuine Sony ones, a shell type and the leather flap type screenprotectors try mediadevil the best non tempered glass ones I've found been using them on my M2 for a while
Hi , I've just purchased a note edge SM-N915F.
The problem is that the camera takes quite some time to focus.
Maybe it takes 1-2 minutes to focus.
Sometimes just an instance.
Is there any issue or things i can do?
Did you buy it through official channels? If so, return it. If not, I would download a 5.1.1 rom to flash with Odin.

Will downgrading the rom stabilize it ? I got it from an SME , a 3rd party shop.
Yes, yes it will. I am in the middle of doing what I suggested to you, for the same reason. goto this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/69273/N915FXXS1CPD3_N915FOLC1COJ2_XME Then find Odin and USB Drivers if you don't have them already. I am not going to give a tutorial on Odin.

I could always be wrong but I'm 99.99% sure that changing your firmware isn't going to help, the camera module itself is most likely what's causing the problem because it's a pretty common issue with this phone. Mine started doing it the exact same thing about a week after my warranty expired (go figure), so I've basically just dealt with it because I've been too lazy to order a new camera module and replace it.
What happens is the auto stabilizer inside the camera module will stick from time to time instead of moving freely like it should, and it might sound barbaric but here's something you can do to test if it's your problem (and to speed up the focusing until you can get it fixed).. When you first open up the camera app while it's not focusing.. smack the phone onto the palm of your hand (or just give it a good shake) and it'll focus instantly.
If it does then you know for sure that it's hardware related and changing the firmware isn't going to do anything, and until you can get it fixed at least you can make it focus instantly instead of waiting almost 2 minutes every time! This is what I've been doing anyway and it has made it bearable at least, hope it helps!

jeep447 is correct!
Your phone is fine, nothing wrong with it. The phones camera is just not that great. I have found it better on some roms then others. Also 3rd party camera apps sometimes focuses better than stock app.
