Z3v cracked after less than 30 days

This is just a documentation of my 29 day old z3v cracking while sitting on a sony wireless charger overnight.  I'll be posting pictures before i wrap it up and send it to sony of each corner of the phone (like brand new) and the front (like brand new) and the back with one random crack on it.  Verizon refuses to man up and replace it and Sony wants to inspect before fixing under warranty.  I guess we'll see. 
It would seem to be a ton of people have this problem the sony Z line of products, so why can't Sony recognize it?? I bought a waterproof phone for a reason and if it cracks randomly how can i trust it under water? 
The other kicker is i have to live without my phone, that i use for work, for 3 + weeks?  Really Sony?  I want you to do that to your executives and see if it flys. Props to Verizon for providing a replacement phone but if i dont get this one back within 90 days i eat the cost of a brand new phone.  Its no wonder you haven't entered this market until recently, you have NO IDEA WHAT PEOPLE WANT OR NEED from a customer service standpoint when it comes to mobile devices.  
Great phone, poor glass choice and poor support, at least so far. 

 To address a few questions;
Yes that post is from 11/13 before the Z3 release, however its relevant as the Z2 design and Z3 design are very similar and there are later posts of Z3s with cracked screens almost identical to my cracked screen.  I'll post a picture tomorrow after i recieve my replacment.
I don't use a case with my Z3 at this time so if it did over heat while using a sony wireless charger and my sony xperia z3 then we are talking about a completely different design flaw.  I've never broken a phone and prefer not to use a case, i usually stick with some kind of z-shield however i haven't applied it yet. 
I still feel like this post is relevant and will document my return process for a phone that seemingly broke on its own.  Something that multiple people are reporting in the thread i linked that mentions the Z, Z2 and Z3 & Z3v.

  • Firefox freezes when I open it after less than a minute of searching. It freezes regardless of the website I'm on. I've tried reinstalling it several times and have even tried a clean reinstall but it didn't work.

    When I open it, Firefox freezes after less than a minute of use. After waiting a few minutes, it unfreezes but then freezes again a few seconds later. This happens regardless of the website I'm on. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and the problem didn't go away. I've even tried a clean reinstallation but it didn't work. This only happens on Firefox. IE and Safari work fine.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 stops working after less than 30 second and shuts down

    I have installed and uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 three or four times via Creative Cloud and each time it stops working after less than thirty seconds and shuts down the program. I then installed a an older version of Photoshop CS5.1 from a CD and it works perfect. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 installed from Creative Cloud and both work flawlessly. What can I do to get Photoshop CC 2014 working?

  • Skipping track after less than 1 second

    I have downloaded iOS7, and I tried to delete some track from iTunes that I never listen to. Somehow, several of the songs on my iPhone have now started to skip onto the next track after less than a second of playing. I can still play the songs from iTunes on my PC, so I seem to have done something with the phone and I don't know what! I changed the settings from 'Phone' to 'Library' in the 'shared' music menu - I think that's what caused the problem, as now it seems fine having just changed it back. It's so frustrating that you can't get rid of music you don't want on your phone! There must be a way of doing it without shelling out for Match.

    Do you have a circle with a red square next to some of your songs in your music app on your phone?

  • Why was my free trial disabled after less than a day

    Hi,
    I set up an Azure trial yesterday afternoon, roughly 4pm GMT. I came into the office this morning, and found an e-mail from about 3:30am GMT, telling me my trial had been disabled due to reaching it's spending limits?
    I did set up a VM yesterday, but didn't use it after it was provisioned, and I see I have 31 days left to use my current credit of £125 GBP.
    Why would my account be disabled so quickly. How can I evaluate something in such a short period of time. Is there some way to contact Microsoft directly about this?
    Many thanks, Eds

  • New phone, text messages disappeare​d after less than a day's use

    On my son's brand new phone, a Sprint Curve 8330, which he picked up this afternoon, he's been getting texts all day from friends, then at about 12:30AM he realized that all the previous day's texts are gone.  Only texts I sent him after midnight are there.  Why?  This is a fresh new device.  He installed Sprint TV and Sprint Music, and I installed Slacker and Viigo, but haven't even activated them (didn't have his email address to register the apps.)  I can't see this being memory-related, having under 10 hours use on the device, with almost no app usage.
    I thought that maybe I just didn't understand how it works, that it was "filing them away" into a folder for a previous day or something, but searching around did not find any texts from yesterday (just a few hours ago.)
    Any help appreciated.

    I've done this reset multiple times. And have succesfully done.
    You said that you installed some app and after that this thing happened right? Did you install in mass memory or memory card? If on memory card then try removing your memory card and see if it helps.
    If you have installed in mass memory then sometimes it can be problem. Assuming your phone is switched off right now! Just connect your mobile to PC/lappy. Wait for couple of minutes, your PC would recognise it as a storage device. If it recognises then copy all the important data you want to keep and format the memory card and mass memory. (I'd this problem when installed something like theme/app from untrusted developer.) 
    This method worked for me. If not then try again the hard reset
    Hold down the following three buttons Volume Down + Camera + Menu button at the same time. (It will Hard reset your Phone, and may takes several minutes to restart your Phone)
    While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone. And remember press all these buttons carefully as you might not fully press all the buttons!
    Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    As you might be aware of the data loss while attemping this method be sure you will lose everything.
    If nothing else works then you might unfortunately visit a local nokia care.
    THANK YOU

  • New error for me after less than a day of trying solution for 1418 error

    Now I get the error of -69. That a corrupted file apparently is mucking up the works. I tried what the solution offered, I can't catch the file name because it doesn't show any file names while syncing.
    I've cleared the entire library, cleaned up my folders and got rid of anything that isn't iPod format friendly.
    I've made an appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow, but this is just aggravating to have a piece of hardware bricked by Apples own software. Has anyone found a solution to the "File not found" or "Error 1417, 1718, 1428" issue so many people seem to be posting on?

    Please call Apple at 1-800-275-2273. They were very nice to me on the phone and ask them to look into this. The more reports they receive, the better chance we have that Apple will stand behind the iPod and help us out.

  • My nano died after less than 2 months?

    After being so happy with my iPod nano for almost 2 months, and being at this forum for a week, I never thought many of the things here would happen to my nano... Anyway, here is the story:
    Last night my iPod nano was working perfectly. I had listened to it right before I went to bed. Like usually, it was in it's Green Xtreme Mac Tuffwrap with the screen protector. So anyway, when I was getting tired, I shut the nano off, and put it up on one of my desk shelves (the one reserved for the iPod nano.) Anyway, today, when I came home from school, and went to listen to some music, my nano was dead. It didn't do anything. It just wouldn't turn on. Last night the battery power was about half empty (I'm a pessimist) when I shut it off. Anyway, I figured that I should just plug it in to the computer. Maybe it had someone turned itself on over night....
    Anyway, as I say this, my nano is pluged into my iMac G5. It is just sitting there. The computer does not detect it, and the screen is still blank. The nano is not in it's case, but is covered with a thin plastic Crystal Shield (which ***** BTW so don't buy it). It's just lying there dead. I would try to restore it, but the computer doesn't even detect it so what is the point.
    I was going to install iPod linux and void the warranty, but I never actually got around to it. The warranty is intact, but I don't want to send it to apple yet. When my Mom's nano broke it took 2 weeks for her to get the box, ship it to apple, and get her new iPod. Right now is there anything I can do to get this nano alive? Please... I have not misued it or anything. It's been in a case with a screen protector since day one (minus charging), and I have not dropped it or anything. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
    Anyway, I have tried to reset it but it is uselss.
    Here is a picture of the dead nano plugged into the computer. The white spots are from the stupid Crystal Shield that's no "Crystal Clear."

    Here is my nano in its pride and joy with some of my favourite objects. It is displaying a picture of my cat.
    http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/3304/pc0300096dv.jpg

    I'm not complaining about the airbubbles. When I took the shield thing off the plastic it wasn't even translucent. I could barely see through it. My friend also got them and his were the same. But here did a better job putting his on them me lol and his was airbubble free. But, his nano still looked terrible from it. Do yourself a favour and order one. It's like $5, no big deal. If you can put it on good, show me some pics. Then I will believe this product is worth more than the $5 I paid for it.

  • Monitor dimming after less than a minute really starting to annoy me...

    Hey!
    This is my first post on here... and I'm posting because I've just started getting really fed up with how the display slightly dims after a minute or less of me not typing or moving the cursor... If I need a page open to read, I have to constantly touch the trackpad in order for the light to come on again so I can see what I'm reading...
    I have looked ALL OVER the settings, and the only thing I can find to change is how long it takes for the computer to go into sleep mode... and there's is another thing where you can check it to have the display fade before going to sleep.... but even if I uncheck this, then instead of the display fading, it goes completely black after a minute or less...
    I just want to adjust the amount of time it takes for the display to dim... Please! Is anyone else annoyed with this? I can't even watch a youtube video without being interrupted about 4 times by the screen fading...
    Thank you to anyone that can help me!

  • Trial seems to have expired after less than 24 hrs

    hi, i installed the creative cloud trial yesterday and it was all good.. then i saw option to updat on all programs... since clicking the update button, it updated and says it is up to date... but now i cannot open it as it is not a clickable link to open the program... i thought it was a 30 trial???

    Yes, it is a 30 day trial, but your updates busted up things. the bad news is, that it probably ruined your trial period completely, but feel free to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and let AAM install again.

  • Brand new hp laserjet p1102 and new toner cartridge out of toner after less than 100 prints ! ! ! !

    Hi ,
    I have just bought a brand new HP laserjet p1102 and a brand new toner cartridge, and within litterally 50 sheets being printed it says I am out of toner.
    Please tell me what I must do to get this working again, because clearly I am not out of toner.
    Thanks
    Stephen

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Community.  I'd like to help you with the installation and printing issues you are having with your HP Laserjet Pro M201dw, on your Windows 8.1 operating system. I can certainly understand your frustration, it seems like you have attempted the install multiple times. First, I'd recommend running the Print and Scan Doctor, to see if it can resolve any errors in the software without having to re-install. If it does prompt you to re-install your software, I would suggest uninstalling all M201dw software from the Programs section of your control panel. Once that's done, do a cleanboot of your computer. You can find instructions to complete the cleanboot here: How to perform a clean boot in Windows Note: This will turn off all non-essential startup items, so if it's another program on your computer that is causing the installation to lag, it should resolve the install issue. Rather than installing from the download or the CD that came with the printer, I'd suggest downloading and running the HP Printer Install Wizard. Please respond and let me know if this helped to resolve the issue!Good luck
