Dropped Sony Xperia Z1

My Z1 accidentally fell on the floor. It fell on its back. There's nothing wrong with the phone externally. But I'm afraid something might have happened internally. I saw this drop test done by Android Authority where the Z1 died on the third drop. Everything was okay from the outside, but something went terribly wrong on the inside. I hope that doesn't happen to my phone. Although I might just be paranoid.
Did anyone drop their phone? What did you experience after?

Me too accidentally dropped my z1 while cleaning it with the protective casing removed.  The z1 landed on the tile floor squarely with the front facing down.  Immediately examined the external of the phone and found no single scratches on all the exterior surfaces & corners since it landed squarely on the front face.  However, I noticed there is something shinny at the top right corner of the screen. I guess the strong impact on the hard floor have caused some tiny speck of black coating behind the screen been chipped off and revealed the metal frame underneath.  Switched on the phone & examined the touch screen, go to settings-> about phone->Diagnostics and performed the device test. The phone is intact.

  • Very very disappointed to Sony Xperia Z2

    hi, i bought Sony Xperia Z2 mid of last year, i very happy to own it because it's has the best camera for Android.but after less than half years, this phone had "Ghost Screen" as this thread - https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/GHOST-touch-problem-Z2/td-p/663333 that time i tried factory reset and all suggestions from google results also not working,so i send to warranty, and wait almost 1 month just can get back my phone, and i noticed that phone i received is not same as my original phone, i think Sony Server Center changed another phone for me, either repaired phone by other owner or new phone,but this is not a big issue, as long as i can use back my phone now Sony Xperia Z2 give me another issue - "Camera Not Available"many functions cannot use included Camera, Video and others, except these, battery also drain very fast, overnight the battery can drop from 30% to 2% without data and wifi my warranty is over, but i will send it to warranty, if need any charges i won't consider to repair anymore and just keep it as backup phone, and buy another new flagship phone NOT from SONY anymore last to say, i really disappointed to Sony phone

    Did you try to do a PC Companion phone repair? This will do a clean installation of the latest firmware and will also wipe your internal memory.
    Open PC companion -> Support zone -> Phone/tablet software update -> Repair my phone/tablet (blue link style). Follow the steps given, do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

  • How much to remove scratches off sony xperia z1

    My little brother had dropped my phone and the screen has a very noticeable scratch covering 2/3 of the screen. Does anybody know how much to remove the scratch from shops or something or any screen protector that can hide the scratch
    Any advice is appreciated

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    It all depends on how deep this scratch is. Sometimes you can hide a scratch by applying a screen protector and if it really minor you can polish it away just using a cloth.

  • Sony Xperia M no signal - SIM works in other phones

    Hello.
    I have recently had problems with my Sony Xperia M phone.
    I recently dropped the phone and the screen had cracked and so i issued for a fix at a local shop and so i had to remove my sim card, sd card etc. As the phone returned to me i have not been able to have a signal however i get a very slight signal 5 minutes away from my home which makes no sense as i used to get full bar signal strength in my home before i took it in to get fixed.
    I have searched for mobile network operators at home and it will not pick up any at all.
    I have tried a factory reset; this did not work.
    I have tried the Sony 'Update Service' and have also updated my phone to the latest version but nothing is working at all which is leaving me somewhat confused.
    Heres what it says when i go to 'about phone':
    Network: no service
    Signal strength: 0dBm 99asu
    Mobile network type: unknown
    Service state: out of service
    Roaming: not roaming
    Mobile network state: disconnected
    My phone number: unknown
    IMEI: removed by alexdon - no private info on the forum
    IMEI SV: 
    Also i have tried my sim card in my friends and parents phones and it works perfectly just like it used to. Also have tried their sim cards in my phone and they could not get a signal at all (the people were on my network also).
    I'd appreciate help as i'm getting very frustrated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,  I'm wondering if you can help. I have the Sony Experia M2 and the exact sae thing has happened to me - broken screen, got it fixed and now I continually have no service. It has come back for brief periods agin and then leaves, so frustrating! I was wondering if you managed to overcome this and what you did? Would really appreciate any help you can offer.  Thanks so much.  Eppy

  • Sony Xperia Z3 screen problem

    Hello, I have my Sony Xperia Z3 from 4 months and now, after the update of the system I have big problem . My screen doesn't work normally. When i try to touch it, on the screen appears black lines, green and purple spots. I didn't dropped, , neiher make it wet. I tried to repair the phone with Pc Companion but it doesn't work. It is very annoying to not see normally your screen. I hope you understand my situation and to receive your answer.,

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I'm sorry to hear that. But if you have tried with a software repair via PC Companion but the problem persist, it sounds more related to a hardware problem. I suggest that you visit nearest service center to have the phone exmained by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Sony Xperia M4 Vertical lines on display

    I bought my Sony Xperia M4 Smart phone in Khobar, KSA last month. But, within 20 days of use, it is showing Vertical lines on the display, even it comes on photos also. I have given the phone to Sony Service centre(Modern Electronics- Khobar, It is in a remote place and not easy to approach everytime) two weeks before, it is still there under service for more than two weeks.I am very much disappointed with Sony, ofcourse i am a fan of Sony brand. Now i am feeling that i choosed wrongly this brand since i could not use the phone for this long time.It should be a manufacturing defect (It has no damage and not dropped anytime) but i am the one suffering. Will sony consider this matter and provide a positive solution.My Service Order is 601021721.

  • Sony Xperia Z touch screen not responding

    My Sony Xperia Z has been giving me problems ever since I bought it in May 2013.By October 2013 I had to send this phone for repair twice.In the last 9 months though it was doing well and there no problem till today afternoon when I found out that the touch screen was not responding.The phone was on charge when this happened and there was a heavy downpour though not a single drop fell on the phone.I tried using the power button to switch it on and off but could not use the shut the phone option because the touch screen wont respond.I have rebooted the phone and switched it off using the power+volume up button multiple times since then.After about an hour when I was trying for the umpteenth time to key in my password I saw that some numbers were randomly getting punched in.After several attempts the phone's touch screen did respond and I was able to make a call but post that the touch screen went back to the not responding mode.Another hour later and exposing the phone to the sun beating down while i was in a car helped and this time I was able to see all my msgs and mails.My elation was shortlived as the phone went back to the touch screen not responding mode.I had a short trip to make by air and I switched off my phone and put it on charge using the USB connected to my laptop.When I switched on after landing I found that I was able to key in my password but after that the phone again got stuck.Since this last occurence about two hours ago the touchscreen has not responded.It is frustrating to see that msgs are coming,people are calling and I can see the numbers,mails are getting downloaded  but I cant do anything about it.Right now the phone is submerged in a jar of rice in the hope that the mositure might dry out and it will be back to normal again.Please suggest whether using the hair dryer would help or not.I must repeat the phone has not got wet.I also removed the screen guard on both the ends and the back cover to allow the phone to breath.Waiting anxiously for help

  • 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

    There could have been a few reasons for this; did you happen to see what was using the battery in the battery usage section prior to deleting everything?

  • Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still us

    Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
    Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...

    You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
    1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
    2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader.

  • Can I sync my microsoft outlook calendar on a mac with a calendar on a sony xperia z3?

    I will try to keep this simple!
    I have a MacBook Air.  Currently I use the calendar within Microsoft outlook for my appointments.  Question:  Can I sync that calendar with my google Calendar on my Sony Xperia compact Z3.  I just need any calendar that syncs on my Mac with my xperia and vice versa.  Looking forward to reading a simple solution:) Thanks

    Short answer: NO!
    We had all thought that MobileMe would do this with push technology, but MobileMe turned out to be less than expected (IMAP) and incompatible with Outlook if you use Exchange, which is the case with most corporate uses. However, if you have the option to run Outlook without Exchange, then MobileMe is a $100/year solution.

  • Driver for all-in-one-printer L7590 for Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet

    I cannot find any driver-app. Anybody who know how to solle the Problem?

    Hi Liffe6,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you would like to learn how to print from your Sony Xperia Z2 tablet to your Officejet L7590 printer.
    I check the specifications for your tablet and it ships with Android 4.4 (KitKat) as the tablet’s operating system so I have included the Android 4.4 (KitKat) and Later: Printing with the Android Print Solution document. It will walk you through how to print using the solution that is already installed on the tablet.
    Another option is to download and install the HP ePrint Mobile app. I have included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for reference.
