Unfortunately for me my z3 compact suffers a huge battery drain when in use e.g using Facebook for 7 mins drains 3% and playing temple run 2 for 15 mins drains 4% of the battery. Any suggestions as to how to fix the problem?

        I've had it for about 7months now and no issues. I kept it in a cheap silicone case after i purchase it due the "self cracking" convo online. Now i don't anymore believe in that issue and after i removed the protective silicon case, i fell in love again with the beautiful design of the phone. And i don't anymore find the phone even slippery while using it like it might feel at first. Anyway, such a great phone in every way. Great speed, battery life etc. And honestly hd screen looks great, so no need for FHD nor 4K :) i think I'll stick with Sony phones in the future aswell..

          Anonymous, 05 Nov 2015Had the Z3 Compact for a year, not sure why people are givi... moreWell i don't have a good experience with this device.
          Water proof flap opens all the time - so this device it's not waterproof - I had before Xperia Z and there was the same problem with the device.
          Also there is a problem with screen and microphone ( screen is not lighting when i get phone call so i cannot answer or see who calls me - and the worst thing is that screen is actually unstuck after less then a year and i cannot use it for a normal use).
          Shame because this is not cheap device, but is considered to be the brand so...
          Battery review okay - like almost all smartphones, maybe day or two depends how much do u really use it...

              Had the Z3 Compact for a year, not sure why people are giving negative reviews cuz my experience with it is amazing. I dropped it a few times from around waist height and it didn't break. There was this incident where the touch screen wasn't working and I sent it to my local Sony Repair Centre and they repaired it in less than a week. For those who said the customer service was poor, I'm not sure about you guys, but my experience their customer service was great and they even provide extra info/details about the repair.

              Overall, I love this phone and I do enjoying using and showing off it's unique waterproof feature, not to mention a great camera and battery life.

                All those fragility problems can be easily forgoten with a Ringke Fusion case and a gorila glass adhesive screen protection, buy this Phone, its amazing!

                  Shame, I thought Sony was quality. Used to be. I have mine on contract with Vodafone, last November, problems with microphones, and screen not lighting up when calls comming in, so can't answer, or use touch screen for numbers, during automated calls, Dies, will not switch on just vibrates even when good charge in battery, plug it into charger for a second and it comes back to life, meant to have been fixed by Vodafone Technicians (Not sure if Sony), same problems, with additional of 'water proof' flap opens all the time, magnetic charger parts also stopped working. Initially promised new replacement under guarantee, but Vodafone told me untruths the first of many, now they will only replace it after failing to fix it 3times! Going to see if Sony are more honest and have more integrity. However was informed that the early models (2014) Had design flaws there was a programme on it, basically saying that even when 'repaired' the early ones malfunction again, a Vodafone employee also stated this. The newer ones are meant to be OK. Though unless you use the magnetic charger, the conventional flap will loosen, and flap open after time, same as the Z2's. Come on Sony, get your reputation back, as solid and reliable and quality please. Thanks

                            Not good after 2 months ,it has sudden death and not work again.
                            I brought it to Sony Service Center and the technician said it 'll take long time to get the spare part.2 weeks for sparepart,1 week for repair ,and now it has been 3 weeks since I put my z3 compact in Sony Service Center. If they're correct, it'll take 6 weeks for service,but honestly I doubt for it. My colleagues faced 2 months for repair. :(
                            Just suggestion for you guys, pls buy the mobile phone which has the good service after selling.

                              was really happy with everything about the phone for 2-3 months then the "shatterproof screen" shattered after a slight knock which was cushioned by a coat, not happy at all, im waiting to see what the verdict is after arranging to have it sent back to sony

I am Xperia user since 2011.

My phone was in my bag hadn't dropped it. My phone was 7 months old when talking to a customer service assistant in a foreign country they were unusually honest and said she had a lot of similar complainrs. One of her curomers had mended his phone three times and it kept happening. My phone provided has refused to mend my phone saying i must have dropped it because of the screen problem it only does this when pressure has been applied. Ive been advised by two other independent phone companies not to mend it beacuse its widely known in this industry that this particular model has this problem and shall probably break again.
