Had this phone for 2 years, everything is great, except the gps. GPS simply does not work on the phone itself, it has to use high accuracy(wi-fi, bluetooth or mobile networks to determine location). If it's not set on high accuracy, it's impossible. It drifts alot and updates slowly even on high accuracy, got me lost a few times...

I just bought the Z3 compact used on ebay. I had an LG E460 before. That was extremely slow with most apps, and the wifi and gps didn't work reliably. The Z3 is way faster, has much longer battery life with wifi. With limited use, I only recharge it after two or three days... It's just so much better, I can't believe it put up with the LG before. I fully recommend the Z3

My z3c touch panel spoilt after 9 months, and the replacement touch panel spoilt again 10 months later.
Both time the touch panel fail with same symptoms
* It starts without response on notification bar;
* After a week, no back and home buttons working;
* Tried a complete 'refactoring', unsuccessfully;
* Gloves mode is not a good workround (too buggy);
* Botton shortcuts working on lockscreen (calls, unlock or camera);
* Finally whole screen no touch response.
There are many people facing same touch issue but Sony still ignore the fact and says they look into cases individually on case by case basis.
Does any of other Sony phone have so many user complaints on same touch issues with same symptoms?
why the touch screen spoilt every year under normal use condition? as i mention this is my backup phone and mostly place on table. why i have to pay for a problem that is not my fault?
is it normal for a smart phone price 1800+ touch screen have to change every year?
why there are so many complaint about this model touch screen on sony support forum and other forum? all with similar symptom and touch screen spoilt within a year?
is it the touch screen factory defected item or is the phone design problem?
An expensive phone that gets broken under normal use circumstances. This is what Sony can provide.
No matter how I complained, they just refuse to take responsibilities. I accept the 50 percent discount on repair, but I also need a 12 month warranty on touch panel. Is it too much to ask for.?
I have lost confident to Sony touch panel, and its look like Sony also have no confidence on their own touch panel and refuse to my request.

I bought it in July, 2015 and it's still rocking. Battery life deteriorated a little, but it still lasts a day no problem. The USB and SD card flaps failed on me two times. If you haven't, install the Concept Marshmallow ROM. It breathes new life into this phone.

I've had it for 2 years now, and I'm satisfied as it's reasonably good quality, considering the fact that there are no failure-proof devices. The phone jack and the SD card slot started giving me trouble after about a year but the warranty service was super fast & smooth and cost me 0$. Now it's ok. The processor & RAM are doing a fine job as everything works with a decent speed (was instant at first, now it's just ok) and the system hangs up almost never. So yeah, it cost me some money but definitely saved my nerves. He's my friend now ;-) The only thing I regret is upgrading Android up from Kitkat. It looked so cool and worked faster, and some of the older apps don't cooperate with Android 5 or 6. Lollipop was a disaster, and now Marshmallow is ok, but it's still not what I bought this phone for. Anyway, it's not about the phone, so I'm just ranting :).
