Xperia SP M25c

This phone has a dual SIM in it. The CDMA sim has CDMA 800 and CDMA 1900. With 3g of CDMA 2000 -> 1xRTT   1xeEV-DO Rel 0 and 1xEV-Do REV A
Will this phone work on this network if it becomes locked to Verizon's Network? and Will it be able to access 3g Data Connections.

I doubt it.  The phone IMEI number won't be recognized by the Verizon Wireless system so it can't be activated on the network.

  • 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

  • Why Sony Xperia care (France) is the WORST customer support I ever seen?

    Hello, I am desperate and disgusted by Sony that I believed to be a serious 'high end' company. The promises of 2 years guaranty and reparations within 10 days sound enthusiastic. But from my experience it is far, far away from truth:- After 8 months, my Xperia Z2 tablet suddenly stopped working during software update to Lollipop (black screen, unable to turn it on anymore).- Confident I sent it to Sony care expecting it back (repaired or a new device) within 10 days. BUT, 8 days after having received my device they just sent a message saying that the reparations are not covered by the guaranty (without any explanation why) and that I must pay a ridiculous quotation of 414EUR, stating that everything in my tablet has to be replaced. (why???)- After many unanswered e-mails and many attempts to get a phone contact, I got the reason of the guaranty refusal: I sent an USB cable that was not Sony branded and they consider it as an incompatible accessory!!!! (Ridiculous).I am waiting since one month for a solution. The main problem is that nobody takes care about customers. There is no way to have an answer. I already had low cost Chinese made devices, and their support was of a much better quality than Sony.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry to hear that.
    Unfortunately, I cannot do anything from my position and neither can we at the support forum answer these questions. Warranty may differ from market to market and repair process is handled at a local level. You need to raise this with your local support team for further information about your repair and how to proceed with this in the best possible way. I suggest that you place a call to your local support team:

    Did you just update the firmware of the router? Did you have the same issue before updating the firmware? Is the firmware now on version 2.1.39.144146? Try to reset and reconfigure the router again. Aside from that, try another phone that you can try for wifi calling and see if you get the same problem even though you have tried another router already.

  • How do I use my PUK code on my Xperia Z3?

    I bought my Xperia Z3 from the network's store directly under pay as you go (it was cheaper than buying it unlocked from Amazon and Sony directly). However, I want to use a different network providers SIM.
    Luckily the network I bought the device from has provided me with a PUK code, free of charge. I don't however know how to use it.
    Can someone explain?

    The PUK code needs to be inserted if you block the SIM.That can occur if you insert the PIN incorrectly 3 times.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • Xperia Live with Walkman on Android 4.0.4 (with screenies)

    My Thoughts on Android 4.0.4 on Xperia Live with Walkman
    -Sleeker Font Style.
    -Camera Shortcut right from the Lock Screen.
    -Able to access the drop down notification bar even when locked.
    -Music Player access right from the lock screen
    -New Owner Info Option display
    -Face Unlock works great on Live with walkman.
    -Awesome new themes. Xperia NXT Style! Although they are only wallpapers, not the live ones seen on 2012 devices. My favorite is Tourquoise (Did I spell that right?)
    -The Performance Assistant will help you disable some of the apps that you dont need.
    -There it is! Official Android 4.0.4. Ice Cream Sandwich. OH YEAHHHH!!!
    -If you repeatedly tap on the Android Version Menu. This little Primitive Droid will surprise you. HEHE!!
    -Oh, and there's also a new logo when you start up your phone : SONY ONLY not Sony Ericsson, and in its ever-so-recognizable font style. =P
    -The Sony Ericsson Liquid Logo has also been changed to Walkman, with a bubbly and quirky animation.
    -Ill try to post screenies if I can.
    -Greatly Improved Android Browser. Seriously, It's WAAAAYYY smoother than the one in GB.
    -The Browser runs smoother than GB.
    -Websites with heavy flash content load smoothly. =D
    -Saved Pages Option to view pages offline.
    - Only Android provides true multitasking capabilities.
    - Hold the Home Button and you will be taken to this new recent/running apps tab. Swipe to the right and that app is closed. =D!!!
    -Widget Preview.
    - A NEW Gallery aside from the Xperia Gallery. The new gallery provides edit options. Like Picsart or Instagram or Adobe Photoshop Express. So, if you want to save some precious memory, stick with the gallery editing options =D
    -HD playback still smooth as ever. I don't know what the fuss is all about. =P
    -Images look fine as they did in gingebread. It really depends on shooting situations.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos doesn't lag for me. Play back is smooth. Same as in gingerbread.
    -Maybe, People are just not used to the new interface, but with a little bit of tinkering, you should get used to it in no time. =P
    -The New Camera Interface. It now includes a dedicated on screen camera button.
    -Captured Photos Quality are the same as in Gingerbread.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos run as smooth as in Gingerbread.
    - The New YouTube App interface.
    - The Lockscreen Music Player
    - There was a review about not seeing the clock due to the music player. Duhhh, you can see it at the upper right corner. =P
    - I love how the album art and the album name also appears. If you are like me who converts songs from youtube to mp3. A little app called Tune Wiki can help you edit its tags so you can enable infinity view. =D
    -The New Dial Pad, which provides Smart Dialing.
    -About the lagginess issue. It takes about 2-3 seconds to start. It depends on how many entries you have in your call log.
    -There's a workaround on it though, access it through Contacts.
    - RAM usage feels the same for me. Good Job on this one Sony. =D
    - I was really worried about RAM ever since I read Sony's article about GB and ICS. They did well on optimizing this one.
    - My screenshot is not the best there is since I was syncing Facebook inside Xperia. But, normally it has about 180mb used and 160mb free.
    - New APPS installed. Some apps like Wisepilot for Xperia can now be moved to SD card, thereby freeing more phone memory.
    - My New Homescreen. It retains the very convenient four corner bubbles.
    - 5 Widget Panes
    - A New Google Search Widget
    - Walkman Player. I was expecting the music player from the NXT series. Hehe, but I guess this will have to do. =D
    - I've never seen the refresh music library option even in the GB walkman player. Through experience, everytime I add a music file it gets added in real time. No refresh required...
    - Oh, and also... I think the speaker is a tad bit louder than before. Like 20% louder. I noted no distortions
    - The orange lights work as usual.
    - Still no customizable equalizer. This is a walkman phone. It has to have superb music customization capabilities. =P
    - Battery usage for me remains the same like in GB.
    -Monster Use/Heavy Gaming : 4 hours (HD games cracked for HVGA screens i.e. Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Need for Speed, Shadowgun, Dead Space)  Although I doubt you could play that long due to the screen size and the cramps you may get from playing. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anyone? Haha.
    -Internet Browsing : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using Stock Player and YouTube App : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using MX player : 4-6 hours (I use it for my .avi files)
    - I use Easy Battery Saver to Optimize battery performance.
    In Super Mode it can last up to 24-36 hours with only texts and calls which I think is pretty impressive. I can go on 16 hour hospital shifts without worying about charging my phone.
    In Normal Mode it can last 8-10 hours.
    -It really depends on how you use your phone. I strongly believe it greatly varies with every user.
    - Don't believe posts that say it doesn't run as smooth as GB. IT RUNS AS SMOOTH AS GINGERBREAD. EVEN BETTER. =P
    - Sleeker new user interface.
    - All of my apps and games still run smoothly on ICS. I'll keep searching for bugs.
    - The ROBOTO font is awesome.
    - I find the interface more intuitive and streamlined than GB.
    - Lots of new features implemented. i.e. Smart Dialing, Face Unlock, Performance Assistant
    - Icons have been remodeled.
    - I also love how fluid it is now when it switches screen orientation. =D!!
    - No bugs for me whatsoever.
    - I miss the quirkiness of the GB user interface. Like the transparency of the messaging app. But I guess, I have to move on, change is for the better.
    - A SOLID AND STABLE UPGRADE. NOW MY XPERIA LIVE IS COMPLETE.
    Problems:
    -Yes, the LED SMS notification doesn't work. But all other LEDs work. i.e. Yahoo Messenger, Incoming Calls, Twitter. I guess they may have overlooked this one. It's the only problem that I see. I find it livable still. Greater good for the greater number of people =P
    -THANKS TO SONY!!! A huge step on the right direction.
    -KIMOZAVE - NOOBIE SMARTPHONE USER

    hi kimozave, ur review seems to be full of praises for ICS, but I have gone through many threads on disadvantages of ICS, so very much confused if I should go with ICS update or not....
    can you plz tell how was is experience on:
    1. Dial pad - I have read its laggy.
    2. The phone is having a hard time authenticating wifi connection when using WPA encryption.
    3. Thumbnails in the gallery does not match the original picture.
    4. Phone dies at 10% battery remaining.
    5. SIM card keeps ejecting
    6. Camera is more laggy and image quality is poorer
    Thanks,

  • The Xperia Z1 is the best mobile device I have owned so far.....but for one annoying flaw.....

    OK, I have owned the Z1 for around 6 months now, and I have LOVED the product...I more or less have no complaints, and its become pretty much my favorite electronic device, except for my gaming PC : D
    I use it day in day out, listen to the radio, watch video, surf the web, exepriment with all kinds of the incredible apps, and of course, play games (and it will be gaming that my comment is primarily about)
    Thing is....gaming on the Xpeia Z1 is a GOOD experience....excellent GPU performance (though it gets HOT! ...really noticeably HOT..not warm....**bleep** it gets hot! : D), great screen, great sound with headphones (though the headphones jack tends to get in the way when holding the unit in landscape), and if playing without headphones, I find my hand covers the speaker and totally muffles the sound!
    These are just small niggles, but nevertheless, things I notice, that I would desire to be slightly changed if I had the chance, but I realise they are issues with the hardware and design, so Im happy to wait unitl I get my next phone (likely the Xperia that comes out in 18 months when my contract is up!) and see how they are dealt with through the evolution of the series.
    These are just mega picky things Ive noticed in an otherwise perfect design (for me....just my opinion).
    However...the only thing that REALLY REALLY REALLY ticks me off, is a software issue....that has apparently been dealt with via the 'Immersive Mode' feature in Kitkat 4.4.4 (which I am running on my Xperia)....
    That is the 'Soft keys' not disapearing in games, and taking up quite a large chunk of screen real estate.....in a very annoying place that depending on the game, can even quite easily be accidentally touched, kicking the unwary user out of the game,! (ARRRGHHH!)
    Now I realise that proper support for 'Immersive mode' is actually up to the developers (am i right in thinking this?) and I have tried a couple of games that advertise support, and its all well and good, and works fine, also my comic book reader supports it, and so I get ALL my screen for books (rarely, I use HDX for that), documents and comics....and of course the built in video player has seemingly ALWAYS supported complete fullscreen without these **bleep** buttons getting in the way....
    And its such a GREAT screen too....does anyone know exaclty WHY it is, that the Xperia series in particular sacrifices so much screen to these buttons while gaming?
    All games Ive tried have the 'Top Bar' (with battery, signal and time etc..nto sure what its called officially)...automatically hidden..so why not the 'bottom bar?'..the menu keys? Especially since the strip of screen is so HUGE!!
    To show 3 **bleep** buttons!
    What really makes me wonder, is that even my Kindle Fire HDX (which I use primarily for actualy reading books/newspaper/articles) and that I consider an 'inferior' device  in most respects..actually has a 'hide soft keys' feature...where in games and apps the 3 buttons and strip of screen are replaced by a very small and unobtrusive little tab...that you simply swipe out to expose the keys....
    A GREAT solutuion!
    Why isnt there something like this on the Xperia series?
    I have deliberately explained myself fully here because I have become very frustrated wth this just recently,  as I have been playing a lot of the brilliant games by the developer RORTOS...that makes impressive flight simulator games....games that (Particularly F-18 Carrier landings Pro 2) cannot run very well on my Kindle FIre HDX....
    They play beautifully smoothly while maxed out on the Z1 though....(and the same goes for GTA Vice City, that I have been enjoying playing again on mobile on the way to work every morning : D...thanks Sony and Rockstar for a great start to my workday xD)
    BUT these great games are being MARRED quite badly by those DAMNED BUTTONS!!
    In F18 Carrier Landings Pro 2 and Airfighters (2 RORTOS games that are really superb if you like flight sims) several controls are positioned at the edge of the screen...and the soft keys are right in the way...so they are functionally gettiing in the way...
    and whats more, they ruin the original design philosophy of the Xperia Z1...the design philosophy of 'OmniBalance'..because the game image is not equidistant from the left  AND the right side...but shunted one side or the other, because of these **bleep** buttons!
    (I hope I have explaiend this, and you can picture what I mean...it really irritates me : D)
    Yes I am aware of a few apps that are available, both root and non root solutions.. but I have found them all too imperfect...just not good enough, too clunky, too much configuring and messing around to get them to work...and even then they have too much impact on other functions to be worth it for me...since i do use my Z1 for a LOT of different things.....
    The ones Ive tried are fine as kind of Dev Tools...but I really love the overall design of the Z1...and I like to KEEP it beautiful and slick to use...as slick as it looks...(yep, I like the cosmetics so much, I cant even bring myself to keep it in a case xD...I just have to be careful with it...and its hardly got a scratch so far...just a few hairline type ones : (....
    So...can Sony please add a little feature, like the small tab that I mention above on the Kindle Fire HDX, to hide those keys?
    I have messaged RORTOS about them supporting Immersive mode fully, and they said they would look into it (of course they said that!), bur that most devices these days ALREADY hide the soft keys in games...and in my experience, thats true!
    Out of 5 or 6 devices Ive played games on, i have to say that the Xperia series is easily the most effected by this issue.
    and its ANNOYING as **bleep**...and I KNOW Im not the only one that thinks this...but I havent found an official Sony response (or indeed Android or Developer one) about what is likely to be done.
    So does anyone have any news?
    Does anyone know why one of the best screens and best GFX performers in a mobile device is still suffering from the soft keys being present at all times in games?....(except every now and then Ive noticed the keys are slightly camoflaged, as white dots....the strip of screen is still taken up, but the actual key icons are reduced to white dots (anyone else seen this?) but this just seems to happen randomly......sometimes it does that, mostly it does NOT...and besides, its not a real solution anyway...since a chunk of screen is STILL used up by it....
    Please Sony, you use a custom Android,  just liek Amazon do on the Kindle Fire HDX (though admittedly, not quite SO customised xD), and THEY can hide these keys without immersive Mode support...
    Why cant Sony?
    rant over...
    I still totally love the phone..Im only going off on one like this because I love everything else about it...but this one thing I think is actually a pretty big deal.....so please address it ..
    Please?
    All the ebst
    jim.
    (PS I am also really harrassing RORTOS about supporting Immersive Mode too....if ALL the Devs supported it, then this wont be an problem (I suppose anyway?)....but Im not sure if there is an issue about how many people are actually USING KitKat 4.4.4...I would guess a LOT but perhaps not quite enough to make a special effort for?....anyway...Im not just picking on Sony : D)
    rant really over.....for now.....

    You had to have some kudos for the effort put in to your thread as week as the point you make.

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
    Regards,
    Danny

  • Sony Xperia Z1S Battery Life Issue Solved :D

    Hi guys I just bought a Sony Xperia Z1s on tmobile 2 days ago,at the begining the phone was working awesome, fast ,no battery drain to worry about,but I transfered all the pics I had on my Iphone and it took like 14Gb of space on my Sony,then I suddenly realize that the phone was draining my battery sooo fast I started to worry, I looked all over the internet and I couldnot find any help,so I just went back and removed everything from my Sony(photos,contacts,everything) and I did a Factory Reset,wiped out my phone,now my phone works perfectly,no battery drain,no freezes,no crashes,I unpluged my phone from the charger at 12pm and its already 10:33pm and my battery percentage its 70%(facebook,youtube,Instagram,Vine,SMS,facebook messenger) and it only has used 30% of my battery,AWESOME!!!!!

    {GUIDE} Install ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) on Xperia™ Smartphones, Root and Downgrade to Gingerbread
    This post is for rooting 2011 Xperias. For 2012 Xperia See reply number 1 below
    How to root 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587 & 4.1.B.0.431)
    We cannot root 4.1.B.0.587 directly, so to root it we first flash 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, run the rooting toolkit and in the end flash 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
    Few devices don't have their own 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, so we need to flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel of other devices just to root. However all devices have 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
    Follow all the steps.
    Go to settings > Security > Mark  "Unknown sources"
    Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
    Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
    Download Flashtool
    Windows Users > Flashtool
    Linux Users > Flashtool ( From previous release tab, download 0.9.0.0 version)
    After installing flashtool, reboot your PC.
    1 ) Download the respective 4.1.A.0.562 kernel to flash
         Arc and Arc S  - Kernel
         Ray                -  Kernel
         Neo/Neo V      -  Kernel
         LwW, Mini       - Kernel
         Active             -  Kernel
         Neo L             -  Kernel
         All other users -  Kernel or even try the kernels for Arc S and Ray
    2) Go to C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares > delete everything present and put the downloaded kernel
    3)  Run Flashtool > click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)
    Select flashmode > ok
    Setup should be like this > select OK
    Flashtool Setup Screenshot
    Follow the steps, connect your mobile and flash. Note: on devices with touch navigation keys, hold volume down key instead of back button while connecting your device.
    Flashtool may show error after flashing kernel, no worries. Even your build number and android version won't change. Everything would remain same so please don't visit phone's settings to check anything
    4) After flashing restart your device, It may not start completely, may remain at Sony logo or with blank/black screen.
    Whatever the status is, just restart your device and proceed with the rooting >
    Download Rooitng toolkit > 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and extract it.
    ( Make sure you close flashtool before running the rooting toolkit )
    Now  connect your mobile to PC ( Mobile should be ON)  and wait for 2 minutes. Then run the rooting toolkit. When it says all done, close it. disconnect your phone and switch it off ( By pressing power button/ or by taking out the battery and reinserting it).
    5) Download Kerenls, If you are on 4.1.b.0.431 rom then download the respective kernel, same goes for 4.1.B.0.587
    For Neo L > Download the kernel version on which your phone is running 4.1.B.0.626 or  4.1.B.0.631
    Xperia
    4.1.B.0.431
    4.1.B.0.587

    Now flash the kernel ( same procedure as step 2 and 3 above )

  • XPERIA Z -What kind of service/SUPPORT standards do you have? Is there any at all?

    Hi guys. Hello sony mobile people. My name is Isaiah and I'm from Manila, Philippines. I am a solid sony fan boy for morethan 10 years now (mobile phones). Or maybe was a solid sony fan boy. Not until yesterday happened. 12/17/2013. 
    I heavily supported sony mobile products back when it was still sony ericsson. From the K-models, to vivaz, and up until to the xperia. I even strongly recommend it to my friends and family and keep persuading them to switch to a sony mobile device because of its outstanding design, features, and solid build quality. And I'm always excited when there is a new model or flagship mobile device to be released by sony. Correct me if I'm wrong but the engineers I guess were hurrying up to put out this new waterproof mobile devices out there without carefully checking, testing, and making sure that your phones are absolutely what they say they are. 
    I'm a chef. I work in the kitchen. Some Eight years ago I was working in the kitchen with my newly acquired sony phone, the k700i to be exact. I was very proud of it for it was my very first coloured phone with camera. I kept it inside the chest pocket of my Chef's jacket when suddenly I reached out on an Ice Chest full of cold water, and as i leaned to reach out for a bucket of ice, my unconcious mind forgot about the law of gravity. So the phone eventually and immediately slipped outside my pocket and went directly inside of the ice chest and fully submerged in very cold water. It was turned on and on standby mode. No matter how fast I reacted to retrieve it from the ice cold water it was already too late. By the moment I had it the screen was fully black. No power button could even wake it up. Long story short, the phone died right then and there. It wasnt waterproof and it was totally my fault. I took some time for me to move on for that was a very expensive device back then. It was such a loss. 
    After that incident I kept on wishing that one day sony would make a device which is waterproof or something that would be able to withstand the heat, the chaos, the wet, the dirty, and the sticky environment of the kitchen. Years have passed and now I have my own restaurant. Cooking even more, staying even more longer inside the kitchen. One of my very favorites was the Xperia Arc S. I bought two, one white and one black. My friends thought it was weird and stupid of me to get two units of the same brand and model. I say it was the obsession to have nice things that lead me to have both, it made me happy.  And finally Sony releases the Xperia Z. 
    It was the ultimate dream come true.
    I bought two units in an instant. One for me and one for my fiancee who also works in the kitchen. 
    We loved it. And everything about it. It suited our lifestyle perfectly. Great photos, internet connectivity, water proof, great size, and extremely good looking. 
    Not until her phone started to charge in a funny manner. The phone just wont charge 100% it would stop at around 54% and never reach anything beyond it. We didnt mind for as long as we had hopes it would go back to normal. 
    Then after a week. It wouldnt charge anymore until the battery went 0%. It died. 
    Then charging it was useless. It wont charge at all. We left it on the charger for 30 minutes. An hour. Three hours. Still nothing. We tried all trouble shooting provided by the sony website. Still nothing. 
    I checked for the pink and red discoloration indicators on all ports. The one on top with the earphone jack was pink. And we never even went to a pool or submerged it under water. The last time it got wet was due to wiping it clean using a wetwipes. 
    and all ports were always closed properly. The only time we open it is when we charge it. So it is a total mystery to us how the water got in. Could it be the defect came from the plug of the port itself?  Probably. Or our unit was poorly made. 
    I went to the sony mobile center here in our country to have them fix it and check it. It seems like the problem of my phone was hardware according to them. And they suggest that I just purchase a new unit because there is no way to fix our unit anymore. 
    Oh my god. This phone aint even half a year old and they want me to buy a new one just because fixing it would amount to the price of a new one. As if its that easy to buy a new one. I feel like I have been scammed big time. The phone doesnt even have bumps or scrathces at all because of protective casings and it just died like that. Like it had a heart attack and can no longer be revived. 
    The customer support really surprised me. It was as if they were very used to answering it that way because maybe I wasn't the first one to have that kind of problem. And by the way I bought my fiancee a Xperia Z Ultra the day the xperia z died. Im planning to surprise her with it for christmas. But I just got depressed with this incident. I mean I am making Sony Mobile rich because I keep buying your products and in return when I, the customer, needs help or reasoning, repair, or any positive promises from you this is what I get. You tell me to just buy another one. Because youre too proud to tell in my face that your product is not defective at all and the fault is mine. And you wouldn't do anything about it. 
    You see, the trust that I had with your company for a very long time took years to build. My loyalty to the brand is just so solid. 
    And it took just one defective model to ruin it. One reasonless suggestion of go ahead and just buy another one as if it costs less than a dollar. Warranty? What for? You wont even listen to your cutomers around the world. More like buy at your own risk, or buy our products because you are filthy rich and when a defective one catches you just buy another one coz money dont cost a thing.  So to the engineers. Don't say that it is waterproof if it really aint. have you really even tried testing it on all different scenarios? Really? I just hope the Z ultra I purchased wont die as well. If it does. I'll start telling and suggesting everyone in my community to beware of your products. You can't even fix your own ceations properly and in a humanely manner. It is not as if my phone blew up.
    You know what is more annoying is the fact that important information, pictures, files, videos, and numbers can never be retrieved on that xperia z. And that is the priceless part. And i am surprised that you guys can't really do anything about it. Xperia is experience right? I guess its true what they say. Experience Zzzzz.... it will now be sleeping forever.
    Word of advice. Please. Learn how to take care of your customers. Especially the loyal ones. They are one of the major reasons why other people are switching to your brand. When left unsatisfied, they can also do otherwise. Thank you for wasting my money. make believe. sure
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes I cannot deny the fact that errors and flaws are always present in such mobile devices due to extremely large or volume productions. But then again. We are paying customers who expect nothing but seamless service and performance that is why we pay premium for something premium. From what I see this warranties are not guarantees at all. We pay a lot so we expect a lot. We deserve respect. The company could at least hire a real mobile technician, as if they can't afford to hire one. 
    We can consider but only to a certain point. But matters like this wherein priceless information is lost, unretrievable, and more important information stored on the phone memory they could at least be more dependable in giving back to you. 
    From what I have read form other complains regarding this similar topic, Xperia Care is not doing anything at all, instead they answer like robots with the same messages and solutions that don't even work at all. And they said they have admins here who monitors everything all the time. To answer our queries. But I guess my plead is a good example of the kind of actions they are trying to do, they are doing nothing at all. They should name this place Xperia Don't Care or maybe they just forgot to place the Don't part. 
    This is hard earned money that I used to buy their products, blood, sweat, and sleepless working nights just to buy their products. By the looks of it they are treating their products as a disposable one. Something that would not last for half or one fourth of a lifetime. This kind of dissapointment that I have will keep on growing and other customers dissapointment will grow stroger as well. In due time it will lead to the failure of the whole brand of the mobile giant. This company does not understand that it will only take a spark to set the whole angry and unsatisfied customers on fire towards the brand name.  
    They keep claiming stuff, it feels like they are just scamming the customers of their hard earned money to buy something defective and disposable. Let us see on how they could cope up with social media, exposing how damaging their products are and how they treat their customers when a defective item comes up.

    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.
