Xperia Z3 :: Phone Sleeps When Put Down On Its Screen
Oct 14, 2013
When I put my phone down on it's screen, then it automaticly sleeps. I found it really annoying. Is there any possibility to disable that option? I have been already looking for it in screen and power-saving settings, but I haven't found anything interesting.
So i have a 2 month old sony z3 and the power button suddenly became unresponsive, today. Everything else is working fine on the device.
The screen begins to dim and then sleeps but instantly wakes up. So basically the device screen is on all the time now. I think I've tried everything i could.
When my phone is dark, in sleep mode after a timeout, I am not receiving any alerts/sounds when I receive an email. The LED light doesn't even light up. I receive alerts for Text Msgs & other "messaging" type apps, just not email. Immediately upon waking up the phone & authenticating, I get the Alert sound & the email msg pops up. This was an intermittent issue prior to the 5.1.1 update (which I had hoped would fix), but NOW it happens every time & is thus worse than before the update. I have tried several email APPS - and they all behave this way. Currently I have K9 Email installed. (I have WiFi enabled & Smart Wifi Search enabled).
I am having real issues with my Droid Turbo. I can pair the phone fine with bluethooth fine to Ford Sync and it plays audio fine. The steering controls work fine too until the phone locks or sleeps. I tried many different music apps and every setting in the screen and security settings. It works fine when I swipe the phone to click the button to wake it up it works fine.
I have a single corporate email account setup (Settings/Accounts), the account syncs correctly when on 4G/3G. It also syncs correctly on Wi-Fi as long as I force the phone to stay awake (scroll on the screen/push a button every so often to keep the phone awake). However when using Wi-Fi and I hit the power button shutting the screen off putting the phone to sleep, it causes my corporate sync account to throw a "Connection Error" icon (orange triangle with exclamation point in the middle) at the top of the screen. Why do I think it is a sleeping/Wi-Fi issue? Because if on Wi-Fi and I hit the power button and wait a few seconds and hit it again turning the screen on the CE icon is there. If I force the screen to stay on (method above) I never get the error. If I switch my Razr to use 4G/3G and try the same power button on/off test method, I never get the error.
I have confirmed in my Wi-Fi settings Wi-Fi Sleep policy is set to Never and I do not have any Smart Actions turning Wi-Fi off. This seemed to have happened after the .173 update. I have also forced my phone to connect to another Access Point in my house to try and isolate this issue to an AP problem but my Razr exhibits the same behavior. Also confirmed in My Accounts|Corporate Sync|Server Settings "Verify Server" that I get "Success!" in the Verification Result Window.

My iPhone 6 Plus refuses to automatically connect to my WiFi at home almost every time it goes to sleep and I wake it back up. It is getting very annoying that I have to constantly reconnect it.
Before, I used iOS 5.0.1 and wifi would keep turned on when the phone sleeps if I turn off data. This way I could always receive instant notifications. But then I sold the verizon phone and bought a used FU one, installed with iOS 5.1.1. Now wifi is automatically turned off when phone the sleeps, even when data is off. Is this how it works? Because I want to use wifi, even when the phone is off.
So I've had my Sony Xperia for almost a year now and It has been great, I've taken it under water a few times and overall it has great performance. Yesterday I took it in the pool and all was fine, took it out and it was still fine. Twenty or so minutes later i used the 4K video feature on it (not in the water) but in the humid atmosphere of the pool. It was fine at first and was slowly heating up but then it suddenly blacked out and now the screen won't respond. It still charges, the LED works, it vibrates and makes sound but the screen is completely black and remains that way even after trying a both soft and hard reset. It did make some sort of shuddering/vibration noises for the few hours after the screen first broke which seemed to be internal but now it doesn't even do those...
I found that one of row of screen become unresponsive, i checked with Sketch application to detect that row and it's showing in attached picture. i tried with resetting my Z2 phone but problem not solved.
While using it tonight it froze with the screen on. Holding down the power button failed to restart the phone. Using a pointed object on the SIM slot power button also failed: no vibrations, no change to the phone. The Sony Bridge for Mac program did not detect a device was connected.
More problems with the Z3. So in addition to no tethering ability the Xperia range doesn't screen mirror either. Tried doing it on a kindle fire stick, I have an image but no sound. Same with my friends Z1. The Samsung galaxy my friend has works fine though.
After few times press power button screen working fine but when is dark and press power button then screen little change white and you must press camera button then change screen normal and you can press pin code. This is problem with new software lolipop 5.0.2
I purchased a Xperia Z3 D6603 model from US but the screen brightness is very very low. Even with full brightness and auto brightness unticked the phone's screen brightness is way way low than other Xperia devices.
I have only recently upgraded from the Sony Xperia Z1 to the Z3+ and one of the major issues I seem to have is it will not let me mirror my screen onto my Sony Bravia TV, this always worked great with my Z1 and the TV is the same and no changes to my WiFi, I am not sure if this is an issue on all of them, but my workmate has a Z3 and he said he has the same issue. I also see the Z3+ has Cast Screen which doesn't work on my TV either, the only way I can get it to work is through YouTube or through a paid app called AllCast. Which I had on Z1 but didn't install it on Z3+ until I noticed it wouldn't let me mirror screen through phone
I dropped my Z3 on it's backed and the top half it cracked. The screen was undamaged but the top half is now unresponsive when touched. Everything else on the phone works fine but the top half of the screen just doesn't respond when i touch it.
I was half way through writing a text message the other night and my screen had what could only be reffered to as a brown screen of death. I force restarted the phone and the Sony logo would start up before it went straight to a black screen. I could tell there was a back light behind it though. Eventually after turning it off and on about four times it started normally and I didn't have any further problems... for 24hrs.
When my alarm went off this morning I had the same screen of death and was only able to turn off my alarm by force restarting my phone. Now when i restart my phone I can usually get it to turn all the way on but then it randomly 'blanks out' after a few seconds. When this happens I can continually press the power button to get me back to my lock screen. Sometimes the screen will stay active long enough for me to unlock the phone, occassionally long enough to even read or write a message, but always, whether it be after 1 second or 20, it eventually blanks out where I can eventually start from the unlock screen after continually pressing the power button.
In a word, it's infuriating. I have already had to deal with two broken screens with this phone (both whilst just sitting in my pocket) that have cost about $350 each to fix and now this. I am definitely never going to buy Sony again however I need this phone to last until the end of my contract.
While I was taking some pictures, my Xperia Z3 decided to turn its screen black, without any reason. The colors faded and in a few seconds the screen went blank. I know my phone is stll working because when I plug my earphones in it, music starts to play, the notfication led turns on, it vibrates when I get mesages and the volume and camera buttons make noise when I press them. I have tried turning it off and doing a soft reset but nothing happened, and my phone is only a few months old!
I have read that many other users have had the same problem with the Xperia Z3. At the moment I'm studying abroad (don't have my warranty with me) and I havea lot of important things stored in my phone. I would like to retrieve the data, but my pc doesn't recognize the phone since it is blocked and cannot type the PIN code.
Since i had to re format my phone after the stamina mode problem every time i lock screen and say put phone down or pocket it seems to lose its signal. I know its not the area as the moment i click to call someone all the bars re appear.
I bought my Z5 less than a month ago, it rarely fell. Today it slipped out of my pocket on a medium hard ground and the screen got cracked from the bottom left and the screen would not respond. I restarted it using the power+up volume button but it still is unresponsive.
I have had my Z2 for a while now. I'm very happy with my phone, but there are a few problems that i need fixed or deliver the phone back, because i cant use it like this.
When i use the touch screen either calling a number, writing a text or anything, it aint always so responsive.
If i write a little word like: "Hi, my name is dave" then what i see written is: "H, Myname is dve"
This is VERY hard for me to tolerate right now. I have always had samsung phones and i have never had any issues with the touch, but i wanted to test a Sony phone and i bought this one. My first impression was very good, but now its not that great.
I have had my Sony Xperia Z3 for a month. I've never dropped it. About an hour ago, the screen went black while I was checking something on the phone. At first I thought the battery ran out, but turns out I have plenty of battery and the phone is on charger now. Then I realised that phone works just fine, it rings when someone calls me, when there are some notifications you can hear a sound too. I can even set volume. Just the screen is black all the time.
I am not able to use my phone lock screen. When I tries to lock then a sign of lock comes and screen freeze. And on pressing back button the phone comes back to the home screen.
From time to time screen WON'T TURN THE KEYBOARD JUST FLASHES AND NOTHING HAPPENS (I am trying over 5 minutes to type here in landscape mode and finally I gave up as the keyboard never shows up) Screen sometimes freezes or gets cropped or sometimes like in the picture (screenshot), tried factory reset and still no use...
