When I receive an email with attachment, my sony Z3 will automaically download the attachment in the background but the download cannot be stopped. It keep running at the background which then ends up in using most of the memory, then other aplications are killed. Last time I kill the download application and restart the phone twice (download resume after first restart of phone). The problem happens again. How can I stop the download at the background?
This problem is exist if you are connected via "Data Network".
The stucked notification suddenly disappear and download finished when reach Wi-Fi connection and switch on it.
I recently bought a Sony Xperia Z3 dual, because I was tired of the Samsungs and the lot of trash they come with, and I cannot uninstall. But this phone is a trap. A little piece of ****. Looking for its specificatios, its a top smartphone. But its actually very expensive and is not as advertised. The camera is almost unusable, because everytime it says "device too hot" and disable apps. All the time the phone is auto updating something. Every software that comes with the phone needs login, Sony account, and you must agree that Sony use your info, like localization, etc. And most of the apps are demos, that you must pay to use. The 20 MP camera is a fake, because you cant´t use it with the 12600 ISO or other resources or enhancements. It´s like a 8MP camera. The image and colors are just acceptable, the autofocus it´s very slow. But the worst thing of this phone is the Sony Android version and all its bugs. Sony´s Android version is terrible. The most annoying is the auto downloading of attachments, that you cannot stop or disable, never ends, and uses all the phone´s memory and consumes your bandwidth. What a shame Sony! I bought this phone just becase its a Sony. But I am sure that was my last Sony. Sony, never more! Don´t buy this phone. Buy an iPhone. You´ll be happier.
For starters you can use all cameras mp in manual mode and adjust the ISO for better photo's, You can also turn off auto download of email attachments, If the apps are demo then this is not Sony and it something added by the developers
Thank you, but first, I´m not a "starter" ... When you set the camera to 20MP the 12600 ISO is disabled, as other camera resources. I know how to disable auto-downloadig of attachments in the settings, but Sony´s Android is deffective, it still downloads attachments until the end of your memory, your bandwidth, or the end of the battery. Just take a look at this forum and you will see what I mean. By the way, the so-called 2 day use battery is a fake too. My Samsung Notes 4 have more battery time than this Xperia Z3.
That's more than likely an app that you have downloaded that's using up your data and/or storage. as for the 2 day of battery life its relative on how much you use your phone, how many apps you are syncing etc. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-z3/

I have this phone for 2 weeks now. I didn´t installed any app yet. I only have uninstalled a lot of unuseful apps. I´m just using the apps that came with the phone. I bought this phone because of the camera, but I´m very disappointed with it. Unfortunately, in my country, Brazil, we can´t return the phone to the store. But I´ll try to sell it, and buy an iPhone 6 or plus.
