[Q] is sudden death of xperia z2 somthing to worry bout ??? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i wanna to get my z2 next week but am fared from what called sds of xpirea i see a video on youtube and he say thats its cant be fixed and it happens randomly so tell me guys all bout thats monster bug

Oh dear Lord. Don't buy the SXZ2. The very thought of making that purchase and then dying outside the store? Is it shock or a heart attack that is the cause of the deaths?
You keep well and don't take to heart what you see on Youtube.
Ryland

Have never seen this monster since I got my Z2.

Not likely :good:

It seems a lot less people have had death issues with the XZ2 compared to Xperia Z or Z1
Seems like sony is finaly steping up slowly

Yes, I have this problem and will surely return the phone... It's very annoying and I should put down the phone for 15min until it works again...
In fact, we bought two Mini's and both have the problem.
We are in Belgium

If you have root, you can run THIS script and everything'll be fine
Thanks for your answer!
Phones are not rooted and I don't intend to root them...
Will return them to the shop and get a new one. I hope this will solve the problem.
Screen lightly flashing is normal, light sensor is changing the brightness.
I don't understand what you mean with overcharged. Battery cannot be overcharged.

You are right... The phone cannot overcharge... but when it becomes warm the problems start...
The moment I use the phone for - let's say 10-15min - it becomes unresponsive. The screen pop-up menus start flashing (appear - disappear) and I just have to switch off the screen and wait 10-15min before I can use it again but not for long...
I haven't searched in any other forum but I read about a guy who had the same problem and he received a new Mini...
So as soon as we are back in Belgium I will change both our Mini's.

This isn't an overcharge problem, from what you've said anyway. If it was an overcharge/overheating problem it would show up as soon as you use the phone?
I had an old LG Chocolate. One of the first heat sensor touch button phones and that had the problem of when the phone got too hot (either sitting in the sun too long or on charge too long in a warm room) it would start jumping around the menus and all that, I couldn't work the phone without cooling the touch buttons down. It happened as soon as I unlocked the phone, sometimes i even think it was trying to do things even when it was locked.
So the fact that it happens 10-15min after stated using, leads me to believe it is something else. Does anyone else agree with me, or am I completely off base??
Cheers,
Evil.
Thank you all...
I think i better consider again to buy the phone....

Overclocking and dead pixels

Hello guys, I just wanted to advice everyone to leave your phones alone when they get hot and don't overclock, especially on summers. Undervolt to 806mHz. I have noticed my first dead pixel because I was ignorant of the fact that getting the phone hot may burn the some pixels. So please be careful!

Everything has a reason to be. There has to be an explanation. I'll do some research, because I don't wanna have some BAM and WE ARE DEAD pixels.
Some pixels are just faulty. I think it's even covered by warranty and you could get a new device or a screen replaced if you're lucky.

Well you could always return to stock and relock it. They usually don't check with Sony if you've unlocked or not. Just tell them it came that way and you've only recently discovered it.
And good luck!

Why is it so strange? Any mechanical thing can get broken, or stuck.. or "just" "run out of power"..
crystals in LCD can get stuck.. also LCD's can get image persistence effect..
in OLED for example blue dies faster than red or green.
Sometime crystals that are stuck can be brought back to life.. same as sometimes image persistence effect can be removed..
On my phone, where is the status bar, when it shows a picture/movie with grey colors i can see a black line, and sometimes (when the phone is heated) i can even see the notifications shadows from status bar (i.e battery, clock etc). But that line is visible only on grey color, in any other color it's invisible. I have this problem since last summer, it was quite annoying at the beginning, but now i'm used to it, and it's not a problem anymore.

Do you know that this is really phone problem? Maybie your signal is not very good? Try insert sim in to other phone. If in other phone there is no problems try factory reset your phone this should help. If that wont help maybie its hardware problem :/

with GB I had only call delay but that was because of low RAM. Witch ICS I have both -bad quality and delay, but I did free up some ram so Delay is not a problem...
This is the biggest peace of trash I ever had makes me wanna smack it against the wall, it s useless phone and firmwares are horrible.
This might be the first and the last Sony phone I ever had bought... They brought us crappy phone and crappy updates as well... they can t do a thing to correct this peace of sh*it.
I really have to admit that this is worst phone I had. I wish I had chosen Galaxy Ace II
F*ck You Sony!

I dont want to be rude, but this thread is pointless. What is RAM management?
First you list a potential camera problem as problem number 3. Then you instead change the numbering into "2". And doesn't faulty manufacturing which you list as problem 3 cover the other potential problems? And what do you mean by problem anyway? Speaker problem? Like is it bad sound quality... or is it low ringing sound.... or is it low volume on music....
What is the purpose of this thread? It's a phone, and you have warranty.

Exactly. Every manufacturer has some faulty phones. You either get a perfectly working one, which is HIGHLY likely, or you get one with some minor issue. Its the way of the world. I doubt any manufacturer has more faulty phones than the other.

Ram mangment is to keep the programme alive so as you can multitask easily. Every body buys the smart phone to use the multiple features of it but in xperia sp case it is not so if u want to search the web listen to music simultaneously u cannot do it one of task gets killed and it does not remains to music and browsing it also goes to gaming also the games get killed due to low ram.
This type of thing is comes under ram managment and if u spend your hard earned money about 24k in a smart phone u want some reasonable things from it as compared to other manufacturers phone.
And when u not get it u get disappointed.

Yes my point is also that but how could so many problem arises from sony only why not in lg or samsung.
Go there handset thread you get one or two threads discussion about the problem. But in sony case there is a list of problems so my point is that is it really wise to purchase the phone without looking into the problem or we can discuss it and choose wisly our product.

Buy the phone and enjoy it. The only overheating issue Ive seen is when recording 4K videos. Who cares about 4K video? The quality of recording a video with a phone have other limiting factors far greater than 4K resolution. I have a panasonic SD90 1080p video camera, and the quality blows any phone cam away even if I would record at only 720P with it.
My Advice:
I think you should buy this phone. I havent got the Z2 myself, but from what Ive seen, its the best phone out there. If there is a problem, you have your warranty. There is not any greater risk in buying this phone or lets say the S5, M8 or G2...
And again, you have warranty from Sony!
Seems like most of the problems of the z2 are related to the audio side of things, its a shame really.

I've had the fortune of owning a Z2 since Friday and it's been a treat. I had an HTC One M7 prior and I haven't looked back. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my One especially it's audio. However, the Z2's audio is not any worse in my opinion. In addition, the camera is a very pleasant improvement for me. To be honest, there's not a thing I don't like about my Z2. I'd buy it again!

Self cracking issue i have no idea whats up because i had 3 Z2s which went through relatively extreme conditions for a standard device aka heating and cooling and none of the 3 "self cracked"
Z2 may only be 16GB but alows for a Expandable micro sd upto 128GB so storage
Slow app drawer is to be fixed in an upcoming 4.4.4 firmware update from sony
what about g3.Any suggestions?

perhaps you would want to ask that over G3 forums. Gather some G3 issues and fixes and then decide yourself to what premium phone to buy. Choose wisely. :angel:
G3 has so many issues, some people are saying they sold their G3s and went back to the G2, check their forums and you'll see

I dont know whats up, but some "self cracked" pictures show impact areas from where the device hit when dropped so self crack is exageration and or lies most of the time
So thats whats up with that
C'mon man, you ask if you should buy a Z2 or a G3 in a Z2 forum? What do you expect? People ar going to say Z2. Ask the same question in G3 forum, they are going to say G3. And so on.
