Dead Pixel on my Sony Xperia Z1

Hi Concern,
Complain here against Sony Mobile Malaysia.
I live in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia,and my biggest mistake is i bought Sony mobile for the first time ever.
I got the dead pixel on my mobile for 2nd time,even after replace one to one for 2nd time.
one month ago i bought sony z1 and saw 2 deadpixel on screen,went to sony service center(KLCC,kualalumpur),the regret to help me then said me to go to lowyat plaza same sony shop where i bought the phone,its was sony othourised shop,they also said go to sevice center for assistance,
i feel like im a pingpong ball and people are sending me here and there,and no one is helping me for my new phone issue,they dont want to replace the phone,any way 20 calls made to call center on helpine of sony,then Miss.Jess (manager) ensure some one call me or help me but no one help me again,
then i went to another service center infront of timesquare (Ixsun Sdn.Bhd. Lot 1.07 Podium Block,. 1st Floor Plaza Berjaya,. 12 Jalan Imbi,. 55100 Kuala Lumpur),
This time one lady who helped me to replace my mobile in 7 working days,i got the new z1 atlast,
i was happy and i thought issue is now resolved.
just after replacing to new z1 now again got dead pixel on left below of screen,
This time im now super pissed off by SONY MALAYSIA.
i dont understand what is my mistake, to switch from samsung to sony for its better camera and waterproof thingy,
but now i realise that it was my biggest mistake of swiching to SONY.
any ways this time i wont keep quiet and will escalte this issue,on all social fourms and media.
I have all the recipt and proofs,but one from sony didnt contact me yet.

Please see my all trailing emails with Sony.

Pixels Sony Xperia Z2 tablet

I purchased my tablet in May this year. Dead pixels, looks like dust and can only be seen on a black screen, have appeared at the bottom of the screen and seem to be multiplying. Bearing in mind this cost nearly £400 is it not unreasonable to ask for a replacement. John Lewis have refused! Any ideas or any others experienced the same problem? I'm new here.

Smartwatch 2 screen dead pixels

Hi... I have a smartwatch 2 that recently started to show some dark spots on the screen, yesterday some dead pixels on the screen appeared. my questions are... is this a hardware problem since i was using it normally without problems? is there a way to repair the smartwatch? and if that is the case, is there a service center in Mexico that can repair it? thanks a lot!

I doubt its a software issue, but you can repair it with SUS and if that doesn't work then do take it to a Sony repair center Update Service (SUS) PC Companion (PCC) Bridge (for Mac) Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355

Sony Xperia Z1 Water Resistivity false advertising and poor service from service center

I have bought Sony Xperia Z1 from eBay on 31 October 2013. I have been using this phone for nearly a year. The phone was good in performance but comes to water resistivity it will resist water for a few months but after few months even though the card slot and all flops are closed, the water gets in.I have faced this on 7th September when i was about to take a photo in pool, the water gets in and the phone was dead. And i took it to the service center ( Repair and Return Technology (I) Pvt Ltd) Egmore, chennai, on 9th September 2014. On 15th September i got a call that i have to pay nearly 20000 to rectify the phone. Then i called the service center and also sent mail to [email protected] and said that i was not satisfied with the reply. Then few days i again got mail like below
We understand your concern towards the service of your Sony XPERIA Z1.
We had received your Sony XPERIA Z1 at our Authorized Service Centre – M/S Repair and Return Technology, Egmore, vide Work Order No.W114090906449 with the nature of complaint “Cannot Power On”.
Upon physical inspection of the product by our engineers, the phone was found to be damaged due to external cause of liquid regression. As we mentioned in our Warranty Terms and Conditions, this service is not covered under Warranty. The Main Board needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the product. The estimate for this service is Rs 12,488/- and Service charge is Rs.350/-.
This matter has been discussed with our management.
We regret that we are unable to comply with your request for free of cost service. We would once again request you to kindly approve the estimate so that we can proceed for service.
We solicit your kind understanding in this regard.
Thanking you and assuring you of our best services always.
Warm Regards,
Sony India Pvt. Ltd.
They just mention the flags turn red and so the water has got in. They were unable to explain how the water got in. I have seen several forums that many users facing this kind of issues even all the flaps are closed. I was completely stressed and depressed to hear this. I halfheartedly asked the service center to do the service on 1 October 2014. Today's date is 11 October 2014 but still now i haven't heard any update from SONY. When i asked SONY customer care or service center, they dont even know the status of the product, they saying that the phone has been given for service to next level, I have to wait for few days, But i have been waiting for 1 month. I was completely fed up with Sony Service as they are not even called me once regarding this. I have to call each and every time and not even get proper reply. Its very irritating.
If SONY is viewing this do necessary action or else you'll lose a premium customer and more customers in future.
Even though i got the phone how can i use this phone in water ? I completely lost trust in SONY and never buy any SONY product again. I'll go for Micromax next time.
Order No.W114090906449
Sony XPERIA Z1, Model No. C6902,
IMEI No.
I see many users here are suffering the same problem,
Beware of buying Xperia Water resistant products as it may not guarantee waterproof and they don't even give warranty if your phone got water.
Regards,
Narayanan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have had the same problem I have wrote to customer services and I keeping the same reply, that the phone has to be less than 1.5 meters, less than half an hour....... blah blah blah.
My phone failed in water and I had met all the conditions but they keep fobbing me off I have asked why they advertise the phone as waterproof when obviously its not. The last reply I got was well it might not be waterproof.
Absolute rubbish the phone and the customer service. and dont get me started on the smartwatch that failed in water as well it never worked I threw it in the bin.
Aviod sony products absolute junk I say.

Stuck or dead pixels

I'm seeing around 5 dead pixels on my screen is this fixable or do I have to get it replaced and is it under warrenty I know that you can fix it on laptops but since the ipod touch has a hard glass screen you can't really fix it I've only had mine for 2 days

I spoke with several engineers at Sony and Samsung about this last month and they thought it was hysterical that people believed these apps would work.
The pixel may come back coincidentally but it is not due to flashing the LCD or some alternating color voodoo, or pressing on the LCD.
Another Internet myth that continues to propagate. The engineers in fact said all you are really doing is accelerating the decay in brightness/life of your screen running these silly apps in proportion to how long, continually you run them.
And definitely don't try the "press firmly on the stuck pixel with an pencil eraser" rubbish either - you'll have a nice dark spot around the area to enjoy for your efforts. There are no magic fixes for dead pixels according to the guys who design and build them.

Dead Pixel - Apple vs. Rogers support

The other day I found a dead pixel on my 8GB iphone3G screen.
I called Rogers Canada about it and their response was "You have used the phone for more than 30minutes, thus this could be due to consumer misuse" and they didnt let me exchange the phone. Terrible customer service.
I called Apple Canada and they booked an appointment for me at a genius bar and all I had to do was show the genius the phone and she replaced the phone instantly.
If you live in Canada and have problems with your iPhone dont even bother calling rogers.

So the sole distrubutor of the phone being Rogers can only sell the phone and not replace them? why could rogers not just exchange my phone and send the defective one to apple?
If my Sony moniter has dead pixels I can return it to Futureshop.. I dont have to go to a SonyStyle store... because i purchased the product from Futureshop, not Sony retail.
In Canada Apple does not sell the iPhone in their retail locations due to some sort of deal with Rogers and Fido.
At the very least the Rogers customer service could have been trained to direct me twoards Apple Canada Care and not just say " you used it for over 30 minutes.. sorry ".
When I told the Apple Genius this she said she couldnt believe that they would not offer me my available options.

Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" Dead Pixels Common?

I received a new Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" notebook less than a month ago. The unit had a dead pixel towards the center of the display. I called Apple within the 14-day return period for advise on how to handle the issue. They asked me to send the unit in for repair as the closest Apple store was quite far away. I sent the unit out for repair and received it back a few days later.
To make things short, I had to send the notebook out for repair twice for the same issue, and both times the notebook was sent back with replacement displays, each of them also having dead pixels (apparently Apple's repair guys just pop in a new panel and don't actually check to make sure that the issue's been resolved).
Luckily, after over an hour arguing with a customer support supervisor over the phone, they decided to have me send the unit back to them for a new replacement. The replacement should be arriving within a week or so. However, I find myself somewhat hesitant to even bother opening the new replacement when it arrives. I've pretty much lost all confidence in Apple to supply an acceptable display in such a high-priced premium notebook, and am not sure what recourse I will have if the new unit once again comes scared with dead pixels. I thinking about selling it unopened on Amazon or something, and purchasing from another brand like Sony or something.
Question is, has anyone else experienced this issue with their new MacBook Airs? Are dead pixels on these new notebooks becoming more and more common, or do you think I've just had a serious run of bad luck? I can honestly say that I've never had to deal with something like this before with any of my other laptop / desktop displays. Should I even bother with the new unit or just take my business elsewhere.. I really don't think Apple with replace / repair the new unit if it displays the same pixel issues, and frankly, I've grown tired of arguing with them.

Hi PlotinusVeritas,
Thanks for the quick reply
I did wonder if it was the battery but the usb mouse's left click stops working once the trackpad is touched seems kinda weird... Kind of gave up troubleshooting, guess I'll have to contact an Apple store for repair
Cheers

E72 - dead pixel

i'm so upset and disappointed with nokia. it's only 1 week, and my e72 has got a dead pixel on the screen!! never have i drop the phone before. no water got to it before too. what a quality for such hi-end phone (a newly launched one too!) from the big brand nokia. my 10yrs of trust that i have towards nokia is destroyed with this dead pixel!!
i know i must send it to the service center. i know the service will be free since it's still on warranty. it's the inconvenience that matters. it's the hassle travelling to service center with all the traffic jam around klang valley. oh not to mention the waiting-time for my phone to be fixed.

All LCD Devices suffer from the risk of dead pixels...
As you've only had it a week, depending on where you live, you should have 14 days or so to return if you're not happy about it for any reason... I'd recommend returning it and getting a new one from elsewhere.

Stucked green or Dead Pixel since Update

Hey to everyone...
Ive found one strange Pixel mistake on my screen... If there is Red color the Pixel stays green... but on Black., White ,Green or Blue there is no Problem...
For example hopefully you know the NBA logo... i zoom the Pixture but the Pixel ist still on the Black background... if i scroll the Pic to its blue side the Pixel does not have any mistake but if i scroll it to the red side there it is on the Black Background one green dot....
And its not the only one down under the back button there is also one which is always green no matter what color my screen has...
Im extremely sad about it, i hope sony has a solution otherwise ill bring back my device and will think twice before i get another sony device again i had untill now nokia lumia devices and never even a small problem

Hey, i have the exact same issue after i updated to .290 but Sony says that if we have 2 stuck/dead pixels thats normal and they will only service/replace the phone only if we get a 3rd or more stuck/dead pixel.
The funny thing about this is that my screen was flawless until i updated to the .290
I guess we're stuck in here....

Policy concerning dead pixels

Hi,
I have had an iPod Classic 80GB since October 2007. It seems there's one dead pixel in the bottom of the screen. It's quite annoying because it stays white all the time and it's just in the area of the cover art. Can I ask a repair? I tried to find a contact e-mail to Apple Support to ask them directly but I couldn't find one, at least on the belgian Apple website (www.apple.be/befr/contact).
Thanks.

With the sony PSP, they specifided that you need at least 3 dead pixels to qualify for a replacement, but Apple's policy may be different, particularly as the screen is smaller. But it may not be the iPod screen itself with the problem- I have a hard case for my iPod classic and thought that I had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen until I realised that it was a small defect in the transparent piece of plastic in the case for my iPod! I think it is where the case was injection moulded.

I have 2 dead pixels on my N80

Does anyone know Nokia's policy on dead pixels? Or should I said it back to the Carfphone Warehouse as I've had it less than a month and also it is insured?

Try the Carphone Warehouse first - see if you can get it replaced... to me, a replacement will always be more favourable to a repaired handset...
If not, see what they suggest... though I'd be inclined to take it to my nearest Nokia Service Centre (www.nokia.com/repair) - some of these Service Centres are in Carphone Warehouses though, so you may be in luck...

You can send your phone to dedicated company that works on restoring data from damaged devices, hard drives, SD cards etc. But it may cost you from few hundreds to thousands Dollars.

Need to upgrade my HTC Thunderbolt. Sony Xperia Z3v or HTC One (M8)??

I used to be a photographer since the film days but now that everyone in the world thinks they are "photographer," I gave up. But photos as a hobby is still important to me. I love photo options and high pixels. Sony was nice for that but HTC for affects/ options. Verizon reps knew either nothing or what I already knew. I feel I am teaching them about the Turbo and Xperia Z3. So I need help. I've researched and played with these phones (hated Moto camera interface, LG, Samsung, always hated iPhone): HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z3v. Not sure if Sony uploads to my Mac easily from phone either. I would like the best quality in camera, sound, text/calling experience. Who has the best voice recording? Ease of using personal dictionary, select all/copy/paste? Thanks.

I had an m8. The 4mp camera is good, but, when you zoom while recording or with a picture after its taking I noticed extremely soft edges and slight chop in the pixels, the 3d effects are nice although you can only view those from the phone. The sound was amazing and the system ran smooth most of the time. However, I upgraded to the z3v; I am not disappointed the multiple options inside the camera app are insane and it does take some of the best videos and pics I've ever seen in a phone. But, it's just that, a phone, so the audio isn't great and some other things not worth mentioning. The xperia has 3gb ram which provides a noticeable boost in performance, where the m8 would lag here and there. My last gripe with the xperia is that because of its slight "step-chill" hybrid z2-z3 deal they didn't work out keeping data connection while in a voice call, not a huge deal for me, but, there are those occasions when I'm in a call and need to check to see if an email sent or long into a server for work and I have to call whomever back because I can't do both.
I get almost two days out of a full charge on this (1day with a lot of usage), longer if you enable one of the stamina modes; opposed to the m8 I only got a day or a tad longer(less than a day with a lot of usage), but, usually both streaming Pandora for a couple hours with screen off, the usual amount of texts and emails and maybe 45 min of Web browsing with a few 20-35 min phone calls.
Waterproof is my big thing, the xperia is waterproof to a point, make sure flaps are closed and I bought some silicone headphone jack port plugs and put a little silicone sealer (let it dry) on them to keep the water from entering the headphone port, salt water would wreak havoc in there; I rinse the whole phone with fresh (bottled) water after. No problems.

I forgot pattern lock on my Sony Xperia Z1 and i need it back

Hello,
on my sony xperia z1 phone i forgot my pattern lock. I can't use the Forgot Pattern Lock because it uses Wifi conection which i can't connect to...(my screen is locked) I want to hard reset it somehow but i tried allmost every method on the internet but none of them were working I tried holding the volume up and these things....but as i said it won't work for me. Can anyone please help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH

In order to fix this you need to perform a system repair
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
