I am getting really poor battery life with mine - it can lose almost 15% just sitting on my bedside table overnight, and rarely seems to manage a 10 hour work day with light usage (no gaming or video watching) without dropping below 50% from fully charged. There is zero chance of 2 days.
I think my old Iphone 4s was actually better than this - I regularly got home with 60% battery life, and had practically zero usage overnight. The stamina mode does not seem to do much, nor does location wifi which regularly detects wifi when it should not, even after restarting the phone.
Have I got a duff phone? Is what I am describing just how it is?

hekmat666, 12 Nov 2014That's a fairly tale, lad, nothing more.This happened to many people already in february 2013 with Xperia Z, the screen cracked while attempting to put them in a case. Old and well known problem.

ElPrimoo, 11 Nov 2014Have been using the phone for 1 week.
I Found 3 major con... moreThanks for advice on Z3 Compact.
I am looking at Z3 C versus Alpha.
I believe you that your particular Z3 C has quiet Audio , some Youtube comparisons exhibit
quiet Z3 Cs and some are quite loud.
Remember I am talking about 2 phones together, for example I have heard the HTC ONE M8 ,and the smaller Mini HTC so there are Videos of the
Z3C LOUDER than the Mini HTC , and the Mini HTC is not as loud as the full size but still pretty loud....
Another video with a very good Z3 C is next to full size HTC ONE M8 and Z3 C is much closer in Volume than most Androids would be-
Some Z3Cs are fairly loud, some like yours are not, depends which speakers they used on that particular Factory that day I guess...

This is a LOUD Z3 C ,much louder than the HTC MINI and louder than your Z3 C and louder than
the one GSM Arena tested, I assume.

Guys
Im using this phone since 3 weeks. The issues I've observed so far:
- WiFi "grip of death" issue is really the case with this phone. If you hold phone with your hand, around upper right&back side, the Wifi signal goes down and even dies sometimes. I tested this even 5m from router.(tested with DIR-655 D-Link)
- The phone is incredibly slippery on flat even surfaces. It looks , that evebn very small tilt of surface is causing the phone is slowly sliding and eventually dropping on ground.
- Double-Tap to wake is nice, but in your pocket phone can wake up and can enter emergency screen number, trying to dial random numbers with your body movement.
- photo quality is so-so. I found Galaxy S5 Mini to be better (if we compare at 8mpix).

The speakers are not loud because your they are wet. In the manual it warns you and says "The functionality of the speakers and microphone may be affected if they are wet" It may take 2-3 hours for them to dry depending on the environment. A lot of us like to test the waterproofing of the phone because we think its cool but when the speakers are wet this decreases the volume until they are dry. That's why some z3 compacts are lounder than others coz their speakers aren't wet.

This phone is great. The only complaint I have is the loudspeaker option during calls only uses one of the speakers and is very soft. I hope sony can issue an update to correct this.

I want SONY to get the Quality Control UP on these- some speakers are much better than others.
I also want SONY to use the same Glass on the BACK GLASS as the FRONT GLASS.
Dragontrail or GG3 on front AND back please.
Charge $5. more if you must but do it !

... moreHave been using the phone for 1 week.
I Found 3 major cons:
- screen display is inferior in quality to samsung and maximal brightness is inferior to iphone or samsung smartphones.
- back of the phone is very smooth and phone has tendency to slide when placed on tilted surfaces so be careful.
- audio quality is poor, stereo feature is ok but you will be surprised by the low volume of notifications and ringtones even after modifying settings.
Good phone for the price with superior battery and camera.
