xperia Z3 heating issues

I gave my Xperia Z3 compact to my cousin which i bought a week ago. So, this time i thought of go n get the bigger one the Xperia Z3. Thinking that it has 3 GB RAM, big screen, more battery.

But what comes as a surprise to me is after updating the device to the latest software, the issues that i was facing with Z3 compact remain same with Xperia Z3 too.

Those issue were, i mentioned my previous thread:

2) At times touch doesn't work at the first time when you tap on something, be it double tap the screen to wake up or tap any icon.

3) Motion sensor which helps answering the phone by just placing the phone near your ear doesn't work properly, it answers the call sometimes, other time it doesn't.

APART FROM ABOVE ISSUES: Xperia Z3 HEATS UP. I transfered a movie using superbeam, and the device heats up so quickly, that is unbelievable.

I think i should hv visited this site before making my purchase. Spent 45000 bucks, horrible.

All i have to say is SONY must address these hardware/software issues beofre working too hard on making phone water and dust proof.

Hello fellow Z3 users, just wondering if it is normal for the xperia z3 to turn hot very easily. With normal texting and internet surfing (no gaming/picture-heavy internet surfing), I am averaging at around 37-38 degrees celcius and it hits up to 40 degrees when charging. Is this normal?

Using the device while charging will make it warm up even faster.

I have this problem too. I only took like 3 pictures using Superior auto mode, which isn't superior at all, and the top part of the phone started to heat up pretty bad to the extend that the phone promted out a notice that my phone is overheating.

Hi, I got my Z3 today. I also realized that it heats up rather easily with just 10 min. of use doing some settings. I have not even begun to use the camera or audio, etc. Is this normal? Thanks!

I am having the same problem as cena999. The area below  the camera is heating up relatively quick after only taking few pictures.
