Xperia Z Phone Continuous Vibration Problem - A Pain in the Neck

I just wanna know something.. I bought the Xperia Z in March'2013 and I just love, love, love it. However, it started to act weird, maybe two weeks back, when all of a sudden it started to vibrate, (maybe for 3 or 4 hours non stop) and factory settings reset did not help at all. So, had to update the phone software AGAIN using Sony Companion which was pretty frustrating. After losing all my data (since I had forgotten to keep a back up), I was finally able to fix it (which now seems was temporary). The phone has started acting all weird again, it has started vibrating again and I tell you its very annoying after having burned a hole in my pocket just to buy it. So, how many times, just how many times will this be a pain in all the wrong places possible?
Another thing is that, the battery literally gets heated up, if I have the internet (2G/3G) on or even the Wi-Fi or if I'm listening to music and it becomes really hot. The battery really drains out super fast and I have to charge it yet again. So, now I want to know what would be the best possible solution because I need one, and I need it fast. The phone is still under the warranty period so I am thinking of having it replaced 'cause I can't (Read: Simply CANNOT) afford to have this phone giving me problems over and over again.
So help! I want this FIXED and want it FIXED Asap!
Really ******ed & disgruntled Customer

Have you done a restore of the phone to see if that fixed the problem with the speaker? If that doesnt help then you probably damaged something inside the phone when you dropped it.
If you're annoyed by the problem, you can always get a replacement phone

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still no luck, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

OS 10.5 Leopard install a real pain in the neck!

Before you install this new OS, make sure you backup all your important files. At work, I went to upgrade a non-intel, dual processor G5 tower, and everything was proceeding fine, when midway through the process it encountered a huge error and I was forced to "erase and install" the OS. My HD did not even come up as it was any longer. And, to top that off, it took 3 attempts at erasing and installing, because it kept snagging on something. I then had to restore my other files and apps from a backup, to my spare hard drive, and copy each of what I needed. All the graphics software had to be re-installed due to their anti-copying security features. What a pain in the @$$!!! Now, the G4 I put it on also had to be wiped and re-installed after a supposedly "successful" installation, because the spinning rainbow wheel of death appeared after I logged in, and would not stop. Any attempts at disk repair using Apple's own, or even TechTool Pro did nothing, and the permissions couldn't be repaired on either machine. Once I finally got everything working, after a day's worth of work, the new OS is very nice. I am not completely optimistic though. I have seen problems like this with Windows and PC's, but not for years on a Mac ( I do remember the bombs, error codes and death tunes the old OS and Macs used to make). Let's hope Apple fixes this, because I'm not upgrading my home machines until they do. OS itself is great, but the INSTALL is horrible!

I'm so sorry for you. You've only had one problem that frustrated you enough to come to Apple's forums? You're lucky, as far as I'm concerned.
Leopard is not perfect by any means, I've had a few problems with it myself, but your post doesn't help anybody. Not even yourself. It's just venting and it doesn't belong here.
As far as the graphics software goes, that doesn't sound like Apple's fault to me.
I'm sure Apple will fix all the problems. Please just don't post any more stuff like this. It really doesn't help anybody.

ITunes install a pain in the neck

This is particularly relevant at the moment as the updates are coming so frequently.
I use Windows XP
Problems:
- I don't want to run QTTask. This is re-enabled with every new update!
- I run iTunes from a shortcut on my toolbar. The old shortcut becomes invalid with each new update.
This means that every time an update is released I need to:
- Download
- Install
- Reboot
- Run msconfig ... remove qttask
- Delete old now dead taskbar shortcut?
- Copy new shortcut from iTunes start menu folder to taskbar.
It's such a pain!
Why does QTTask keep getting added back?
* Every PC I do this on ends up with 2 entries for QTTask in msconfig, the old disbled one and a new enabled one.
* You should be able to detect that it's been disbled.
Why does the old shortcut become invalid?
* iTunes is the only software that behaves like this.

Login again and it will put them back.

HT204306 After I updated my iPad Friday 4/24/2015 my iPad is always asking for my Apple password. This is a pain in the neck. How do I get it to stop doing this?

I am frequently being asked by my iPad for my Apple ID. This has only happened since the last update which I installed 4/24/2015. I checked the settings but can find no way to disable this new feature. It is very annoying. How do I get it to stop asking for my ID?

Hello, Elanhui.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you constantly receive a prompt to enter your Apple ID password after an update. After an update, you may be required to confirm the password for multiple services. I am unsure what service is requesting your password as this sounds like one is missing. However, the prompt should inform you what service needs this information. I would recommend entering your Apple ID password for all services that are labeled iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in the article below.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password
Cheers,

Email sound/vibrate problem

Ever since upgrading to 2.01, I've noticed that when an email is detected, the phone only vibrates and fails to sound the usual tone, though in settings tone is on, as is vibrate. Anyone have any fixes, please?

All fixed: I did a forced quit and restart

I have a problem that my phone only vibrates but does NOT ring any more. No matter what I try to do with settings turning off "silent" or whatever nothing helps. Do I need to reset. what are the consequences of resetting?

My phone is being a real pain! Time doesn't work, can't sign into iMessage and only some apps work! It also kicks me off the wifi! This is not my connections problem, it happens everywhere! Apple is terrible! Phone also freezes! What should I do!?

Did you try the basics from the manual?
Restart, reset, restore

I did the 5.1.1 update over wifi, had update issues, then updated on Itunes no problem, now my phone continues to freeze and restart, any suggestions on how to correct this

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

I also live an hr away from the Apple store, so its not the best thing to go there just to ask a question and find out what to do

Nokia Lumia 800 is off and continually vibrating.

Hey guys,
I was just using my nokia lumia 800 normally and then it suddenly shut off. I've tried everything to get it working, soft reset, hard reset, taking the sim out, letting the battery go flat then plugging it in, but nothing worked. This has happened once before but it turned back on after 5 mins. It has been 2 days now and it is stil continually vibrating. What should I do?

Hi JulseyB, Welcome to the Nokia forum!
It sounds like you have tried most things to get it back up and running again, I have a feeling it might be a hardware failure, I suggest that you take your device to your local Nokia Care point as soon as you can to get it looked at by a specialist.
I hope this has helped!

Phone boot / startup problem

I have a problem here with Z1, ofcourse I didn't root it or something. Clean, stock phone, bought without any branding.
Every time I turn the phone off, I cannot make it to start again until several attempts.
It turns on, shows the Sony logo, flashes to show the next XPERIA logo but it never happens. I see backlight is on at 100% brightness, but there is no boot animation for about 8-10 min. After that it shows the animation, starts to the home screen, but backlight stays at 100% brightness - I cannot manipulate it anymore, even If I use power buttn, screen contents goes away but light stays on at full swing (black screeen but with backlight).
I tried to toggle then the "Optimized backlight" option in the settings, but then screen goes completely dark (SOD issue known from Z Ultra).
On the other hand, if I restart the phone successfully (after several hard resets with the red button next to SIM card), everything works OK. It takes around 5-15 attempts to make it start fast and without this problem.
What should I do to make sure when I turn the phone off, I can turn it on without this silly fight?
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

Yeah, right.. the basics...
Anyway, thank you for your answer.
However, the problem is much deeper than that, and I am happy I didn't waste a whole day making and restoring backups, come on. The phone is 4 days old, I won't rape it with SUS just like that without trying anything less invasive.
I figured the problem out. It is a bug really, you should report it. It is very easy to reproduce, not that annoying now when I know the cause of the problem, but still a bug.
This happens only when some other Bluetooth enabled device is in range, and this device would try to connect with Z1 once it is visible. Lets say you have Bluetooth Handsfee set - you pair it with Z1, so once one finds the other, it will try to reconnect.
So once you have any device around that would try to catch up, you restart the Z1. It will start with the Sony logo, and then hang before XPERIA and the color boot animation. After that everything goes as I described before. So after 5-10 attempts of boot, the Z1 eventually won't make it to be visible in this critical moment and boot as it suppose to.
Turning off BT devices around solves the problem.
I figured it out because I tried many things and I accidentally heard "beep" in the earphone of the SBH-20 between the Sony and the Xperia logos while booting. I did a reset several times, and the headset beeped me exactly the same time as before in the very moment Z1 hangs.
I tried it with a USB BT dongle connected to PC, Motorola BT handsfree, and mentioned SBH-20. Same problem, different devices.
Turning off BT on the Z1 before reboot solves the issue too.
So this is the problem source - Z1 becomes BT visible too fast or the wrong way at all. If any BT enabled device sees the Z1 and would attempt to connect, it will hang (extremely delay) the boot process and make the Z1 permanently backighted till the next reboot or forcing the light off by toggling the "Optimized backlight" option in Display settings, what will cause SOD effect immediately.
Sorry, no kudos this time.
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.
