Issues with Z3+

[Amer-K]

First of all, shame on you for removing my post on the battery problem I faced on Z3+

Issues I face with Z3+ that made me regret buying it:

1- battery drains so fast compares to Z3, even battery has a slight drop in capacity but I doubt it stays for even a whole day. It goes down up to 2-3% in 1 min even less time.

2- very annoying overheating problem even when browsing the net.

3- device does not stand for 75% of the day if LTE is on.

4- Display in Z3 is better in low light.

5- Camera shuts down in 1 min even 4k is not used.

6- problem in notification and ringing sound is back, I do not hear my phone if it rings or I get a message even the volume is up to the max. I do not know that I get a message if the notification light is not on.

7- phone is not slim at all, it is same thickness as Z3.. IPhone 6 should be 6.9 mm, when I put it next to Z3+ it is much slimmer than Z3+. When I put Z3+ next to Z3 it is same exact thickness..

Actually I see it a downgrade of Z3.. It is a minus more than a plus..

At least solve the heat, notification and battery drain probs pleasee!!

Yes gays. I've got the same problems. 750$ in trash box. In Bulgaria, Europe Sony says the same - don't support it. The funny was that told my - don't use camera.)))

Got my phone from Sony Repair Centre, Doesn't Heat Up as before Diagnosis Performed: Fault Resolved Happy that it does not overheat.... But thinking what they actually did to fix it.....

I got my X3+ over a month in di dint have any problems no overheating, no battery problem it works perfekt.

a friend pays a z3+ black i think 2 weeks later and he have all the problems !!! His phone get incredible hot if he is browsing web ore using the camera also battery drains much more faster!!!

We compare this two x3+ due the same things browsing ,kamera...... the result was amazing my phone shuts down the camera after 13mins and his passed out after 3mins the battery drain was by my phone 3 prozent and by his 11 prozent.

both phones have the same fimware version !!!!

is it possible that he gets a other version from hardware ???

Jr8, how you feel phone now. Slower, faster? And very important - how is quality pictures?

Same here.. I paid 7500kr here in Norway. Thats about 1000 dollars.. Had all the same issues, couldn't play games, no camera, and battery empty in 5 hours in STAMINA mode! Talked to sony and the store i bought it from, it left me 4 weeks without phone while they "repaired" it. Phone came back, they did nothing! Exactly the same problems! When they refused to give me a refund I had to sell the piece of s*** on ebay for 300$... 700$ goddamn bucks wasted. I have now ordered galaxy edge plus. Samsung never let me down.

Will never EVER buy a Sony product again..

Jr8:

Did they throttle the cpu..?

[Jr8]

I hope they did , Video recording 1080p 30fps was around 15 minutes, but 720p 120fps was still the same (Less than 1 minute)

also the phone was vey laggy after the I got it back, so I had to repair via PCC since the performance was not good.

Now the phone is fast but heating up quickly. Not happy with the Repair Service

DeadCodeA - me too. First and last Sony. Unfortunately I haven't money for new one, and this hot plate nobody wants.

i returned my handset to O2 after just 1 month due to overheating problems, O2 wanted to take a look. The phone was fresh/ mint condition, i just wanted to return it due to overheating and poor/ no performance. O2 quoted me £40 repair for damaged USB port not covered by warrenty. There was no problems with the port, i treat my things with respest, my Z3+ has never been near water. I cannot believe they came up with faulty USB port and nothing about the overheating/ SD810 problem, but looks like there are also issues with the USB port as happened to you, thanks for the info, i just got the repair news from O2 today, havn't had my phone returned yet.

Amer-k i couldn't of said it better! I have a few more issues with the Z3+ i have a 5 page detailed email i have sent to O2, Carphone Warehouse, Sony and soon to send again by post as no reply from Sony. The phone & Sony is a joke, been a big fan all my life, at least last 5 handsets were Sony, cannot handle the issues with this phone or their customer service anymore. Been ripped off with the Z3+, and the misleading mis- selling of the Hi- Res Audio bundle apparantly free with the phone. Will not buy any Sony product ever again if this is not resolved & soon, and will not let this go until i get my money back. Cannot access Sony lounge or privilage plus for last 5 years and sony keep fobbing me off with call backs but never do.
