My phone only rings 3 times before cutting off. I've been through all the specs but can't seem to extend the number of rings. If I leave it in another room people have rung off by the time I pick up the phone. Any clues?

        Phone's good up until now
        Heats up well, but not as hot as Z3+&Z5
        I've owned all 3 of them, and my conclusion is the older Z series heats up less than the latest Z series
        Though would recommend the latest XZ series more for longer hardware age&more software update

            It served me so well for more than 5 years. Well, more like 4 years, the 5th year was painful. It has given up the ghost, keeps shutting itself down and rebooting, basically nothing works anymore. Any suggestions how to keep pit on long enough to pull the info off it?

              Just put the 2013 Z1 to rest after 5 years of service. The HW was excellent and survived numerous long wintertrips when it was frozen to -20 to -27 deg C ant thawed on my chest in the sleepingbag in a tent, or on the table in a shack with woodstove - which means rapid heating from -10/-15deg C to + 25/+30 deg C. No trouble whatsoever with battery or moist/condensation.

              The negative side of the Z1 was:
              1: Crapware from Sony and
              2: Early abandonment by Sony wrt software and software updates (iPhone released in 2013 just received iOS 12 and is supported until fall 2019. At least).

                I got this phone since early 2014. Only took it to repair shop once - after 3 years of use my battery stopped working, tho it didn't even need replacing, it simply got fully charged and discharged a couple of times for 10eu. Still holds me through the day. I'd say it's only 10-15% worse from the day I bought it. Front glass still looks fresh, but back is pretty scratched cuz I got some sand in my case long ago. Overall great phone. Still can play almost all the games on Google play, but on more graphic demanding ones heats a bit. Tho recently it's taking it longer to do basic things like open messenger / launch chrome and stuff, often I get bugs and glitches that make it harder to use the phone, but only on certain apps. Well it's getting old I guess, no way around it. Worked perfectly fine for around 3 years tho. The last 4th year is kinda harder on the phone, but I'm sure it will last me to atleast early 2019 making it to 5 years :D.

                  Bought mine in early 2014. Only brought it to repair shop once in my life.

                        just moved up to a Z5 Premium from this ...
                        loved the Z1 - best phone I have owned and still working fine - my only complaint was the limited 16G onboard memory, after getting the basic apps I needed loaded, a few updates later I started running out of room, moved some over to the SD card but some apps just won't run off the card and some bigger apps would no longer update.
                        never any battery issues, no heat issues or any of the problem I heard about - a really good phone at least in my opinion

                          This is one of my worst phones i have ever had. It's laggy, overheats, battery drains way to fast even tho it has 3000mAh.

Have u ever played a game that got released and it's unplayable after a year or so of updates? Yeah, that's what I meant...

                                      I've got this phone for 4 years. It's not the worse phone ever,but my Xperia Z1 is clearly lagging. Here are some examples; my battery is at 40%,and then my phone shuts off because ''there isn't any battery''.
                                      Another example, the screen is absolute shit. Sometimes I start typing and then nothing gets written. And so I have to restart my phone..
