It'll be wise to repair your phone with PCC after it's back on

Xperia Z1 Sudden Death???

So uhm, these few weeks, my xperia Z1 seems to die and suddenly have power drop to zero even when just a few seconds before it was approximately 40%. Also, sometimes it comes to a second to second countdown of power depletion.
;-; What's going on?

You need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Sudden Death due to corrupt SD card/ virus?

Bought an Xperia Z3 Compact less than a month back and was extremely happy using it. However, within the first 3 weeks, it suddenly died on me while browsing. Took it to the local Sony service center who said they'll check for hardware faults, if any. 2 days later, they returned it back to me with nothing more than OS software update.  Within the next 24 hours, the phone died once again and this time I tried every trick I read online. Volume up+Power button. Long pressing the yellow hard reset button. Nothing worked. Feeling frustrated, I confronted the service centre reps telling them its not a software related issue. As it was bound to happen, the phone restarted normally at the store. Now it didn't look like there was any problem with the phone.  The explanation provided by the service centre was that there's no issue with the phone. Instead, I might be having a corrupted SD card that may possibly be infected with a virus. Went back home and checked with AVG anti-virus (paid version) and didn't find any signs of infection. The only remaining possibility is that my office laptop might have some virus since I often use it to charge my cellphone.  My questions to experts - Is this possible? Does an SD card or virus have anything to do with the sudden death problem? How do I fix it because even the service centre refuses to acknowledge any problem? What's the point of such a good phone if I can't rely on it to work all the time?

Output error, sudden death..

Having a problem with my output jack.
The output worked perfectly with headphones and speakers but suddenly now I realize the jack is dead.
Tried to connect a set of JBL Creature II speakers but they don't work, work perfectly with both Ipod and MacBook Pro though so nothing wrong with the speakers. Then I've tried diferrent kinds of headphones and headsets all with no sound. The input seems dead too.
In System preferences > Sound everything seems correct, it switches normally from internal speakers to headphones when I plug in/plug out, definitely no problem with the internal speakers but no sound what so ever from the output and input.
Usually I use a Bluetooth headset and havn't been using other speakers than the internal ones for a while so I got a little surprised now.. Worked just perfectly some month ago with a set of Creative Gigaworks T3.
No "weird" system changes done, nothing special I noticed that could have caused it. Just.. Sudden death?
Is this some kind of software problem? π_π
What do you think guys?

Thank you very much for your concern and sorry for the delay, I've been buried in other stuff lately..
Anyway, nothing with the output key works for me. Not sure though what exactly you're telling me to do hehe, just click on it and keep the output key down?
Not the 'output' key. Press and hold the OPTION key while clicking on the volume icon at the top of your menu bar.
What do you see?

Keeps rebooting -- Sudden death

Hi,
When waking up this morning I found my Z3 Dual sim to be countinously rebooting. After a this keeping for a long time, I managed the tips of managing to shut it of.
I found the fix and held down power + down and up volume. It vibrated a 3 times but nothing happening. Did it again a few times and nothing happend. Tried it again a few times and now it has gone to sudden death mode..
Black screen, nothing is happening. All attempts on trying to do a hard reset is failing.
Stopped by my local Sony store, but I only had 20 minutes, thus never got any service.
Any ideas?

I've replied to the question you posted in my thread about sudden death.

Sudden death on Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

I bought a new off-the-shelf iMac 2.8 GHz three days ago. Since then, the machine has suddenly died three times. No kernel panic, no gray shades coming down, no other warning--the screen just instantly goes black. After the first incident, it started up right away. Second time, it would not start at all. I pressed to power button a couple of times and at one point the machine growled (was this the fan going into overdrive?). Finally, I pressed and held the button til I heard a long beep. It started again. But I have also had another sudden death since then. Has anyone else experienced this sudden death? Because it did not invovle a kernel panic, does this rule out bad ram issues? Thanks.

It may be that the fans are not cooling the machine correctly. Resetting the system management controller can solve this problem. Read the following support article for instructions on how to do this.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
I tried more as:
                         c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
                         cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
                         cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
                         cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have
                                                black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
Do I have to replace the Logic Board?   (Anyone has a spare one ?)
But it is the faulty Logic board?
Could anyone help me out? Please.
I'm retired and I cannot afford a new laptop - and this powerbook was a great, great horse for me until that horrible set of three beeps.
Thank you in advance for any advice and help.

But it is the faulty Logic board?
There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

X220 battery sudden death

Hi, my quite new x220 with 9-cell battery was working perfectly fine last week and the battery life was excellent with the battery condition at somewhere around 90%.
The laptop was left to hibernate for bit less than a week and when I tried turning it back on it had no life, finally I connected the power supply and the laptop started but the power manager showed that the battery has failed due to normal wear.
This seems really strange considering the battery was perfectly fine the last time I used it and the cycle count is just 10. As the laptop is used the battery is allready out of warranty and I really would not like to buy new battery when the other one was basically unused.
So is there anything I could do or do I have to buy a new one?

This is almost known issue. Lenovo consider different battery manufacturers as "similar" battery component but the quality differs significantly. The best are Panasonic ones, the worst Sanyo. Unfortunately there is no way to get battery made by exact manufacturer.
You have to buy a new one, Lenovo does not care about well-known failing components. I am sure you can find more related reports about Sanyo batteries (made for Lenovo) https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/9-Cell-Battery-just-DIED-not-by-normal-wea...
You might try to complain about poor battery quality in General Discussion forum http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/Special_Interest_General
I was also "lucky" to get the Sanyo one in my X220 so I'm waiting for its sudden death as well. There is nothing I can do about that.

Xperia Z1 suddenly dead. Nothing works

Hello, I had my Xperia Z1 charging all night. This morning, I noticed that it was suddenly off. And can't turn it on. Nothing seems to work. Not the charging light even. The phone is totally dead. The computer doesn't recognize it. What can I do? I'm desesperate because I need to back up the photos and videos of the birth of my first child (I've just arrived home from the hospital yesterday). All of them are inside the Xperia. Thanks

Hi, I hope you can help me as I have a problem with my Z1 since Christmas day. My phone suddenly died when I put it into sleep or locked it. Before it happens, I was charging using the charging dock. I pulled it out of the charging dock and the battery was around 40%. I used the camera, turned off the WiFi. Everything is normal. Then I locked it and laid it on my bed. After a couple of minutes when I was about to use it, it's no longer turning on. I tried charging it again but to no avail, no notification light indicating that it's charging (both USB cable and charging dock), tried the power button + volume up still the same. Hard reset via the red button beside the SIM tray but still the same. Tried connecting it to the PC to see if the PCC or SUS will recognize it but to no avail. I bought the unit from a grey market (OL shop) so there is no official Sony warranty. They only offer 3-day replacement for manufacturer defect and 1-year service warranty. I bought it last Oct. 31. The seller doesn't agree with the replacement for the unit since way beyond the 3-day replacement period. At the same time he said that the service warranty is voided as I updated my OS to 4.3 (as per their receipt, any OS modification will void the service warranty). So I went to the referred service shop to have my phone check but to no avail, they cannot check it as they still experience the same problem. I went to an Xperia store and the lady I talked to advised me to go to the main Sony service centre in which she provided me the map. So I went there and my phone stayed overnight on the said service centre for checking. The next day as per the diagnosis of the technician it's is beyond repairbale via software or something like that. Their laptops or PCs can't still detect my phone. They said it might need a replacement of the motherboard. So a couple of days later, yesterday, we went back to the OL store to try to demand for a replacement again but they just advised us to seek again for a second opinion on the same technician he referred the first time. So we went there and stated the problem. He said that the battery might be super drained that's why even if I charge overnight it won't turn on or get charged. He also mentioned that I might have experienced a dead or death booth as something might have happened with the system or software of the phone. By the way, few hours after the phone suddenly died on the 25th the phone became warm or hot. He mentioned that it might be because there were apps were running that time when it still has battery. Do you have any idea if this is a case of a dead or death booth? I serioulsy hope it has nothing to do with the motherboard.

SUDDENLY SLEEPING Sudden death.

SUDDENLY SLEEPING. Like, I'd be typing along, with the powercord plugged in and a full battery charge, and the display goes blank and the whole machine sounds like it's going into hibernation. somtimes I have to take the main battery out and press the power key so there is no light coming from the pumping heart light in front of the PB. After that I plug the powercord back in and VOILA it starts up, with a warning that the clock is set to a date before 19 somthing and some apps will behave erraticly. the clock actually set it self to 1970. I have done all the resettings of Prams etc etc, I have even changed the logicboard, but still, ZZZzzzZZ sudden sleep/death. should I change the battery within the machin, could the two batterys within be FLAT/DEAD, is this the problem ?? HELP, sudden sleep.

Xperia Z1 Suddenly dead nothing works ,not even usb

My Xperia Z1 has been turned off by its self and it dosent turn on . I tried everything to on it but it didnt. I have tried to plug it with computer but it still not working. All i can see is some time when i plug in the usb into the computer then suddenly some red light comes out from the top of the phone and disappeares.... What should i do? I just bought the phone 2 days ago ....

Does it vibrate 3 times if you press and hold Power & volume up for more than 10 seconds?
if it does then do so and let it charge for many hours; if it doesn't then you will have to take it to a Sony repair center

Xperia ZL Suddenly powered down, Now unresponsive.

So I was using my Xperia ZL earlier today to look something up in the Chrome app. IThe screen suddenly went black, and became completely unresponsive. When this occured I remember it was still around 90% charge, and after four hours to charge nothing had changed.
I have tried pushing the power off button on the back, hard resetting, and using the Sony PC Companion to try and repair it (once I got to the point where it asked me to plug in the phone and after it detected it, it would advance, it failed to ever recognize it. I confirmed that both the usb port and the data cable being used were properly working.)
None of these have resulted in any response form the phone. My computer does not even detect it when plugged in. I was hoping somebody may have some idea what as to what happened, and what course of action I can take, to either fix the phone myself or having it repaired.
There is also no damage to the phone other thatn some minor scratches to the screen.
Also on a side note I'm currently traveling so I have limited access to some things, but tomorrow I will be near the Sony store located in the Denver, Colorado area, but due to me traveling I need to have this issue resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you to whomever may take the time in reading this to assist me.

Xperia Z3 sudden battery drain

Hi, I am new new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have an Xperia Z3 D6653. Lately I have been noticing that the battery has been draining faster than normal. I installed a battery analyzser app for that too.
A few observations:
The battery drops from 12% to ~4% in matters of seconds.
When the phone is on charge at 96% it jumps to 99% and comes back to 97% and then again 99% and suddenly 100%. This was using the wall charger.
The main point which made me write this post was my idle drain. I sleep with my phone 100% and wake up at 52%. My WiFi auto sync and GPS was on. No bluetooth or NFC.
I understand there is battery drain but 48% is not understandable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Since google play services is using the maximum battery, it's for sure that one of the app is the culprit. ( in the second screenshot, apps usage is 74% of the total battery used )
Uliwooly gave the best possible way to determine it.
Usually a normal phone restart could also help fix the problem.

Xperia Z suddenly cannot find service provider

Had my Xperia Z since May, had a few problems with it but seemed to fixed it self after a while, and has been working perfectly for the past 4 months. Today when I woke up, it suddenly would not connect to my usual service provider, changed my sim card to a samsung, and it was working perfectly. Refusing to give up I put back my sim card and tried to go around the area where I usually get strong signal from my service provider, and I found out that I could still get on my service provider's network but with horrible signal.(ie. places where I usually get a full bar from my service provider, I now either get 1 bar, no bars or no signal at all!, everywhere else I dont get any signal at all) I have contacted my service provider (in my case GLOBE telecom, philippines) and they said there was no problem on their end. HELP! Edit: Have tried sim card of other service providers and same result... no signal Model number :c6603Android Version :4.2.2Build number: 10.3.1.A.2.67

In that case I suggest that you try to reinstall the phone software using SUS.

If you still can't get a similar signal compared with the other phone you should contact your local support team, to have the phone examined and fixed at an repair center.
