Waterproofing of Z3 XPERIA failed on me.

Plain and simple, bought my XPERIA Z3 on March 2015. The October 2015 a struct my shorts with my "waterproof" Z3 waves Beach in my pocket. Now, the screen does not turn on and I'm stuck without a phone. Sony ads clearly show scenes underwater ocean of the phone where the corals are present so salt should not be a problem. I go to the site esupport only to get a message that says, "repair supported for this device is not available in your country". I live in California.

My question is: where should I go from here? Who should I contact?

I bought the sony since the days of the walkman phones and have had the z1 and z2 without any problem under the same circumstances. I'm a fanboy huge sony televisions in clocks and everything in between has been solid as a rock and last at least a decade. Sony, please fix this.

Thus, IP68 certified device are not allowed to be in contact with water, salt, or any chemical out of chlorinated water.

But I feel that 1 wave should not kill the device if all ports have been closed and if it has not been submerged.

In your place I'd send the device to sony for a vacuum test.

I already sent 2 devices because of water damage, they get replaced for free and now im sending 1 3rd because of water damage

    Every time I have download and install the update, it says that the update failed. I think it has something to do with a software provided with the phone that I uninstalled. My phone is rooted. How can I solve this problem and update my phone?

    If you try to update the live phone and it continues to default, please make sure you have a reliable data connection (preferably wireless) and a lot of phone storage. If this still does not work then you may need to run a repair through PC Companion:

    1. download the PC Companion of http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/ software
    and install it on your PC.
    2. install and open PC Companion and select Support area.
    3 software update of the phone.

    6. continue
    7 accept the deletion of data
    8. the next
    9. wait for ready
    10. Select phone

  • Update Xperia Z1 error

    After trying to install what I thought was a software update on the Sony PC Companion 2.1 after a few failed attempts at the download my phone shut its self off and now when I turn it back on it displays a white picture and message saying "The software update failed. make sure that your phone is connected to a computer and try again" and I connot do anything else on the phone as I cannot get to the home screen. also The PC Companion no can no longer recognize my Phone this may be because in " Devices and printers" my phone is now under Unspecified but called s1 Service not as Xperia z1 under devices. I got this phone 24hours ago i'm aware that this is most probably my fault but I have no idea at what I did to cause this. any help would be very appreciated, thank you.
    

    In order to solve this problem, I had instead of install I had to restore to factory setting and then install everything on the SOS

    Hi im using the Xperia Ray and recently Ive upgraded to ICS 4.1.B.0.431 via PC Companion.I want to root my phone n tried to use the DooMLoRD method to the root of the firmware, but I failed. Is there a way to root my phone directly without having to use new stock rom to root it because Im afraid of losing all my apps n settings in my phone currently. I want to use Titanium Backup to make a backup of them, but given that my phone is not rooted so I can't use it.
    Thank you

    You can not root directly at the present time

    You just need to change a core root and then again back to the roigianl kernel

  • Xperia XA does not accept my PIN and some other bad experiences.

    Ok. Here is my experience with my new XA Xperia.

    Number #1: Pin code is not accepted

    I I had a few months ago and was very happy with it. Last weekend I went to bed and the battery was about 50% charged when I woke up the battery was completely empty. So I put in the charger and turned on after a while, but now the pin code is not accepted. The phone says only: "incorrect pin code. I have the same code as on my last phone and know 100% that I him have not changed my car during the night. I don't know even how to change. So it seems that either there is a bug for the correct pin code is not accepted or pin changed what it self.

    Question #2: Xperia companion do not work

    SOI a phone change the PIN by him then, it's annoying, but it must be possible to do a reset of some sort. So, I'm heading to the sony site for support and find this guide this visiting me to use Xperia companion to reset my phone. (http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaxa/faq/I-cant-unlock-my-screen/)

    I have install Xperia companion and follow the guide to do a reset, but I can not complete guide and get an error instead. I'm so trying to solve this error, but so far without success.

    The error code is: UEStartNoMorePorts L_2384

    #3 number: The support contact page do not work.

    At this point, I realize that I won't be able to fix this on my own, so I'm heading to the Sony support page to get a cat to support. But even if this seems to be a problem. When I access the support page the selecter country do not work and the "contact us link' send me just to any work I'm already on following page.

    Sorry, Sony, but it's on the work experience that I have had with any phone and support department. Not only my phone does not work, but any attempt to solve the problem and get appropriate support has failed. I spend hours on this and are very disappointed. Please let me know how to proceed.

    I already tried different browser.

    I proved that the drop-down list countries worked for the Australian version of the site...?

    in any case, I managed to get a cat to support going after selecting the Denmark as my country. However, the support was not very helpful. The supporter has no solution for the Xperia companion error and suggested that I tried on another PC or turned my phone the retailer.

    Now, I am stubborn and finally came with a solution of my self. I uninstalled all the Sony software namely:

    • Engine update Sony Mobile
    • Companion of Xperia

    Then did a registry cleaning with a small software called CCleaner.

    Then I reinstalled Xperia companion and tried to do a factory reset again. This time, it worked.

    So, if someone else has this problem, please try the method described above.

    Support staff of Sony is useless and I have to say that the level of support is terrible. If my trip can be reduced to this:

    Phone does not > software does not > Web site works not > when I finally support is useless.

    Figured it out myself but spend too many hours in the process.

    The updated FW for my Xperia Z3 compact (v. 23.0.1.A.5.77), for some reason any failed. There was not enough battery so the PC Companion complained. I've loaded and tried again. The phone kept finidng sort of recovery and power turns off.

    Now, if I turn it on it shows this message big update has failed and that I should plug and try again. I connect the USB port of my laptop. I want first of all is not the same power IT. It can only work with USB unplugged. If I disconnect, it is eaten IT. But then displays the above message and stops.

    How to solve this problem?

    This part 1 is to make sure of, it is that your device is turned off the power if a repair is not so yes initialize this pin hole will fulfill the same goal of turning off your phone completely.
