Xperia Z3 Compact Sound

[AndreiArseniu]

The sound in Xperia Z3 Compact, with the update to lollipop has been drastically reduced. I did a repair with pc companion, but i couldn't hear the same volume as when i was using Kitkat on my z3. In addition to that, with the repair, my battery started to deplet very fast and was heating even if the phone wasn't charging 41.3 degrees. So i did another repair, and fixed it. But the sound, is way low. It has 2 speakers and the Asus Zenfone 2 that has one speaker is way louder. I am hoping that with the next update, the sound to be fixed so i can enjoy my phone.

Hard to tell as you could have other apps running in the background, also whatsapp, facebook, chrome are battery hogs, so even if you think it's just whatsapp it use quite a bit of battery.

Is not a hardware fault.. If u look up the post months ago you will see almost everyone had the same speaker issue after update to 5.0.. Is so sad that sony just ignore the problem, dont tell me you cant hear the difference in kitkat and lolipop, if not sony team must be deaf.. They didn't even fix the problem in 5.1 update. Dont even try updating to 5.1, battery drain even bad. Thats what i heard from other users.. Im currently on 5.0. Last time volume set from 4-5 can be loud enough on youtube, now u have to go all the way up to 7-9.. oOo

You can't assume that its the same, its better to get it inspected don't you think?

I agree, i'm from the Netherlands and i tried calling the Sony Help center. Even though i told the representative multiple times that my sound was great, until the upgrade, they insisted that i had  to sent the phone to them to get it fixed. Unfortunately, my screen had cracks, so i was afraid they would blame it on that problem, altough it was already there before the upgrade.

They made an error in the software and they are not recognizing or aknowlidging it. Very disapointing and irresponsible... Makes me think twice the next time i choose a new phone...
