Xperia Z, Out of Warranty holding charge for only a few hours since Kit Kat Update

Hi,
I am a hapless owner of Xperia Z. I purchased my phone in March 2013 in India during the month of its launch.
A day after I purchased I noticed that the phone was over heating like ****** and sent it to service center. After I received it back, it was working fine . I managed a workaround for heating by using a think case.
I moved to USA and here again I had to send my phone to service center for USB Connectivity Issues.
Now, since the Kit Kat update, my phone doesn't lasts for more than 4 hours and there's simply no communication from SONY on when will it be fixed. Now because my phone is out of warranty and I don't have a copy of my bill, the customer care refuse to entertain it or redirect to thier service centre.
I feel cheated as I invested my hard earned money on an expensive paper weight and with Customer care showing total apathy. All I want is a working phone.
I strongly urge SONY to advertise its short comings as well, like heating, no battery backup, finger prints on touch screen and sluggish performance.

Except for telephone ringtone, all alerts sound for only a few seconds following latest os update

After updating my Z10 to the latest operating system this week, I found that alerts for my BBM, Wotsapp, Sms and email only sound for about 8-10 seconds. My ringtone for calls is played in full though.
All of the alerts used the correct tones (.mp3 tracks); nevertheless, I reset them by navigating each app to the correct alert. But nothing changed.
Is there a way to resolve this please? I need more time to hear an alert when not in a quiet environment.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Many thanks.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

IPod shuffle 3rd gen only holds charge for three hours

Ipod shuffle is a couple of years old but not used frequently. No linger holds a charge for more than three hours. Anything I can do to fix that?

Hey Lojolo,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the steps to accurately test your iPod’s battery life, as well as the expected battery life times:
Accurately determine your iPod battery life - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201535
Once you have completed these steps, check out the following section:
If your test indicates that your iPod battery's playback time is significantly less than the times stated above, try these tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod battery. Then test again.
If you still feel that you are getting significantly less than the expected amount of play from the battery, you can arrange for service on the iPod Service Request site. When you request service, we will ask you for your results of this test.
If your iPod is no longer covered by the limited warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan, we also offer a battery replacement program.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?

Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13. I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.

15" late 2011 model with HD display only holds charge for 3hrs...

15" late 2011 model with HD display only holds charge for 3hrs... i was expecting 6-7hrs... what do you suggest?

I would suggest you elaborate on what you were doing for those three hours. You can expect 6-7 hours if you want to sit and just watch your desktop. If you want to use your MBP then depending how intensive the processes you are using will determine how fast your battery gets depleted.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

I charged my ipad with a defective charger, it heated up and stopped working. i charged for a good 4 hours without knowing the charger was defected (distortion of internal wires and a broken protective external layer)

You're not asking any question so I'll just ramble.
You may have permanently damaged your iPad. The iPad controls the current coming from the charger but the charger electronics must be capable of responding to the iPad. Charge with a known good charger and then test your iPad. If it's OK, you lucked out. Otherwise... If the charger was not an Apple charger, you're completely out of luck. If it was an Apple charger, call Apple and discuss the issue with them.

Hi im having difficulty with my iphone 4s its been on charge for a number of hours and continues to flash the apple logo but will not turn on i have tried to reset but it did not help

hi i am having difficulty with my iphone 4s it has been on charge for a number of hours but is just flashing the apple logo continuously i have tried to reset but nothing seems to work can anyone help me please

What is a hard reset? There is nothing in any of Apple's documentation that refers to a hard reset.
There's a reset, a restart, and a restore.
Please explain EXACTLY what you did.

Images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?

What's wrong with my mac if images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?
I can have an icon, like a folder or something, on my desktop for only a few minutes and then when I move it an image of it will be burned into the screen for another few minutes. Same thing happens with having a webpage open for a few minutes or word document. What part of my computer is malfunctioning and is Apple responsible for repairing it?

Hi,
Does it happen on all desktops applications as well as Modern UI Apps? Since this issue only happened recently, I suspect a newly-installed third party program causes this issue, please check these programs if possible.
We can also boot into clean boot mode, test the issue.

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it

I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.
