Crack in display , phone is useless now

Hello, First i want to say that i really love and enjoy sony's products for many years now.  I played and owned a ps 1, 2 and still play on the ps 3 and was thinking of buying a ps 4.I had 2 sony mobile phones almost 20 years ago.  Both were good solid phones.   Then i switched  to nokia phones. My last phone was a nokia n8 wich i had for 4 years without any problems.  Now i thought:  it's time for a new phone why not go back to one of my favorite brands that i thrust a lot. So early may 2015 i bought a z3 compact.   I think it's a great phone, looks good, functions like it should. I'm very happy    Then people start saying when i'm calling to them:  sorrry, didn't hear what you were saying.  When i  turn  my phone just a little away from my mouth they don't understand me.   Ok , no probs i thought, just keep in mind to keep it close. Then when i'm calling on loudspeaker in my car, i can barely make out what people say and just have to quit the call.  My old n 8 did better.  So now i'm getting a bit  . Now a few days ago i take my phone out of my pocket and see that i have a little crack in the left upper corner of my front screen.  Lost use of the quick menu  and couldn't swipe in the upper part of my screen.  I'm thinking maybe i did something wrong.  I'll be xtra carefull now.  Today 8 of august 2015  a good 3 months after i bought  my z3 my front  screen cracked in such a way that i cannot use my screen anymore.  So my phone is death now.   Sony  i thought better of you, i am really disappointed in the low quality phones  that you sell us.  You should think a company with such a good name, could do better.I was so happy with my new phone, i wanted it to last for a few years and then buy the next sony mobile.Now i don't even want to get it fixed, i  think i will just buy a samsung s 5 mini or something like that. cheaper and more thrustworthy ( hope i'm writing this ok, i'm from belgium  ) Really sorry to have to write this mail.   Hope you 've got a solution for everybody who feels like me.Good luck Sony

 I'm sorry to hear that but you have to contact your local Xperia care to get it repaired http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/contactUs/

  • HT4623 Opened phone, it said there was an update to ios7.  Supposed to continue, did, went to accept icloud app, did. phone doesn't go forward.  If I shut it off, it goes back to HELLO, then to icloud acceptance but no further.  phone is useless now.  How

    Opened phone, message to upgrade to IOS7.Answered few questions then it asked whether I agreed with details of Cloud use. Said, agree, next screen, agree, goes no further.  If I turn off the phone it puts me back to beginning, next to privacy agreement for cloud use, agreed.  Nothing.  Now I have no access to my phone functions at all.  What could I do?

    Even if you had it looked at in a Verizon store there is no guarantee that the issue is not via damage to the ear port.
    Not saying you did it, if you had supplemental insurance on the device the damage would have been covered but a deductible would have applied. so you are in a catch 22 at the moment.
    Many people have said that after it was sent back Verizon claimed it was physical damage. And ding their account.
    Do not give your device to any Verizon store or reseller, others have said they did so and they were charged for a lost device.
    again it does not make me comfortable.
    The other option is to call Motorola and have them fix it and then send the same device back to you. There are service centers all over and you may be lucky and be close to one. This way even if they say its damage, you pay a smaller price to get it repaired than if lost, stolen or damaged according to Verizon.
    Good Luck

  • How do I get back to my older os. Phone next to useless now since I updated to7.1

    How do I get my old operating system back. Phone is next to useless now. Hotspot fails, phones people, contacts are there that I did not put in. Starts facetime automatically. Ready to give up on appleproducts

    How do I get my old operating system back.
    It is not your OS. You cannot go back to an older version. I would suggest you backup your device, restore as a new device to completely reinstall the OS, then restore your backup.
    Millions of people are using IOS 7 without difficulty. Some things are different. Get used to change as change is a part of the mobile OS environment.

    Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.

    Hi
    I recently updated to IOS6 (I am U.K based), the APN was changed in Cellular Data, Visual Voicemail and MMS, I changed this back to the original from my provider and now everything works as before. I don't know whether this would apply to the network in China but definately worth a try...

  • The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless.

    The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless. iOS installed today November 3 and dialog box came up say device no longer supported.
    It's an Apple SD card reader (purchased the same week in Syracuse,NY) and it worked fine yesterday after part one of a Day of the Dead shoot in central Mexico.
    As a professional journalist I traveled with the iPad and a Nikon D80 and lenses and flash. My MacBook would be addded weight so this application (the iPad) fits the bill.
    I was in Paris for a month in October and shot thousands of photos. Often did not have wireless and used the iPad as a photo safe to store the photos.
    Back in the Paris apartment the Photostream worked great.
    So what gives Apple...I upgrade my Ipad 1 for an Ipad 3 and now it's useless in this application and the new iOS. Was there any warning or information that this would happen? Or did you test the iOs on the iPad 4? Afterall the iPad 3 is, what 5 months old?
    But, and a big BUT Apple, I can buy an iPad 4 and use the thunderbolt SD card reader. Is this how you become a world class company???
    Our next Apple purchase is not going to be that...was going to be an Ipad mini for my wife to use on the road in her job. She travels giving anesthesia.
    We are an Apple family....My first Apple was an Apple II and had a Newtown (that still works).
    And we now have an iPhone, 2 MacBookPros, 2 Apple TVs.
    My other computer is an old PC that works with my professional weather station and also interfaces with my ham radio. While I dislike the stability of Windows the system allows me to tinker and work with other devices.
    How can Apple not recognize that folks do want to do thing the way they have been and also abandon DVD/CD drives from computers yet at the same time Apple will sell you its own DVD/CD drive.
    I have always loved my early AppleII but had to abandon it for writing and editing  (early photo editing and design was still a dream then) because most companies "did not support Apple," I was told by corporate IT people. So a love hate period of using PCs.
    Now Apple does not support users but it will sell us the latest gadget. This is stupid marketing and wrong consumption by America.
    I don't want to trust the Cloud for everything and want the ability to edit and stroe photos with ease and not always reply on wi-fi.
    Maybe I should shell out $69 for tech support.

    Hey wmhwilson,
    first of all you are not addressing apple in these forums. We are all just users like you trying to help eachother out. I can almost guarantee they didn't pull the support for the card reader from ipad 3. As i have a nikon camera and d5000 and a card reader running on ipad 3 and i just did a import from the sd card after I read your comments. It could be a bug within your ipad. Try restarting the ipad, if you have everything back up to icloud do a full reset then restore from icloud.
    Second, going off on a tangent about apple and their business practices, in support forums which are user based, really wont get you much help. We come here to help people like you and there are way to many folks who go out venting and we all heard it before and kinda getting bit tired off it.
    Third, before doing proper diagnostics, rebooting, restoring ipad, using different SD card, try using usb connector directy to the camera, don't assume that apple pulled the plug on it. It could be a bug that slipped through testing however I highly doubt it since its working for me.
    So try rebooting, restoring ipad from icloud (if you have back up), try inserting a different SD card. Since you are photographer you must have more then one. Try using the other connector that comes with camera kit.

  • Cracked iPhone display

    I cracked the display on my iPhone. Does anyone know where I can get it repaired?

    Apple will take care of it for you. Make an appointment at the genius bar and they will give you a new or refurb phone for $249.

  • I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

    Hi, raneth's boyfriend!
    Unfortunately, iTunes was told to restore all data from an old backup onto the new phone, and that cannot be undone.
    However, prior to this, iTunes 10 would have also asked to make a backup of the phone before doing the restore.  If the user elects to say "yes" to perform the backup, then iTunes would have backed up the phone before erasing it.
    Hopefully, that backup will still be available in iTunes, and if so, it would be backed up under the new phone's name prior to it being erased and restored (if the name of the new phone is different to the name of the old phone).
    To check if iTunes has a backup of the phone prior to the restore, look in the Devices category in iTunes Preferences.  All backups made are timestamped and are identified with the iPhone's name at the time of the backup.  Look for:
    • a backup of the phone using the new phone's name prior to the erase and restore, or
    • a backup with the same date and time as that when the phone was erased and restored (not the date and time AFTER when the phone was erased and restored!).  This may be the case if the new and old phones have the same name.
    If a backup is available, you can erase and restore again using that backup. The phone will be restored with what would hopefully be the original image of the new phone.
    If no backup was made prior to erasing and restoring the phone initially, then there is no way to
    undo it, meaning your phone's original data has been lost.

    if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

    I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge.  Is this normal?

    Obviously not charging in not normal.
    But iOS 7 checks to make sure that the lighting connector is certified by Apple. All Apple Lightning connectors and most Lightning connectors from recognized third parties are certified. But some third parties shortcut the certification process and these cables may not work with your phone.
    If you are not using the original Lightning connector or a connector from Apple try that first.
