Ahsan Habib, 11 Feb 2014I bought a XPERIA Z from Singapore Mostafa Center on last 0... moreNo 4.3 update? What version are you on now?

If you are still on 4.1.2 then your phone is in jeopardy, it will get so hot that over time the back panel will come loose in the top corner near the camera and then your phone is no longer water proof. You have to update to 4.2.2 as soon as you can and hope the damage is not already done.

That said, its normal for powerful phones to become quite hot, or else they would not be faster than cheap low end dual core phones. Also Galaxy S4 had so many complaints about heating up, Samsung listened to the S4 owners and made the phone cooler, but the only way to do it was to reduce the performance, and then they started complaining about lags and low performance instead. It is against the laws of physics to have both high performance and low temperature (a 50cc scooter can be aircooled but a 180hp Yamaha R1 would not last many seconds with such cooling, power=heat, just accept it), this level of performance will produce heat. When we get Intel 16 nanometer chips the temp will go down a bit on a similar performance level but until then you have to accept this tradeoff.

          I'am also experiencing pushing the power button two to three before it will open. I'am also experiencing shutdown when I open application such as Facebook and other that i installed. are this are normal in JB 4.3? does the heating at the back can cause damage to the phone or not?

                                    Xperia Z’s frame is made from glass fibre polyamide, the same material that’s used as a metal substitute in automobile parts.
                                    Xperia Z on front and back have tempered glass that is a lot stronger than conventional glass, and stronger than Gorilla Glass. This glass is called dragontrail glass.

                                    Hope you got what you wanted.

Both back and front glass is covered by a thin layer of protection for more protection from smashes. Please do not remove such layer.
