Xperia Z3 static screen

[Anonymous]

Is anyone else having this issue with their Z3? I have noticed on the sony forums that quite a few people are having this particular problem where the phone will show colourful static for a split second or sometimes even longer (2 seconds on mine at one point). It usually happens when using the camera or watching video.

I don't own or use that phone but am still very interested in this issue.

Has Sony said anything official or was this feedback from end users at the moment.

May be worth feeding this back to them if you haven't already.

I'd be popping into a high street store and testing out the demo models.

@viridis is our Sony expert. 

Hopefully he will have some advice for you.

People seem to be undecided between a firmware or software issue. I would contact Sony directly to see if the phone needs to go back.

If a factory reset does not fix it, return it ASAP, faulty gpu or screen.
Not had this issue but have seen it reported.
You are within 28 days so a doorstep swap out or in store swap won't be an issue.

If it was firm or software it would be far far wider spread, points to one thing imo.

I bow to your Sony experience @viridis and given that advice, return the phone.:smileyhappy:

I'd be inclined to agree....
