Hi. sorry to disturb you but couldn`t get connection on live chat with guru. on 27th march bought sony xperia e3 (it`s insured). on the botom of the screen there are 3 buttons.  come back button, home button and button to get into open tabs. 3rd button to get into open tabs doesn`t work. for last few days it was working just maybe one hour in total. spoke to guru yesterday on live chat. I was told that I need to try soft reset. did that. and the button start working for a few minutes. During all day was doing soft reset a few times and it seems to work for a few minutes after I switch off the phone and switch on again. after a few minutes there is nothing happen when pressing the button. Its a new phone, have it for like more than a month. My kids are using this phone, not sure if that is just technical problem, or mabe one of my kids dropped it (but preffer to say nothing to me wink )  and I should look for help with insurance. what should I do? Is there anyone who can help me, please? Anna

Firstly I'd suggest you contact Sony directly and ask them for advice.
If it needs a repair, Sony will do the best job.
You can also try a firmware repair with Sony PC Companion http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiae3/

Echo the above, sounds like an intermittent fault on the touch panel, contact Sony for a repair.

If this is a new phone, just over a month old...surely it would still be under warranty?

If so surely Sony would swap it?....#just asking..:smileywink:

If it was under a month O2 would have done a doorstep swap, just over a month is repair (but Sony more often than not will just swap the entire handset for a touch panel problem this early)
