Absolutely spot on, rami_leb!
I've had my Z3 for less than 2 months, and last week it turned itself off.
After attempting all manner of things (key combos and charging for hours), it finally turned back on.
Then on Tuesday (26th May) I went on holiday, turned my phone off before the flight.
When I arrived at my destination, I tried to turn it back on.
Since Tuesday until today (Sunday 30th), I have spent hours of my holiday time attempting to turn on.
When I finally did get it back on (probably a fluke), the battery indicated 100%.
Then when I checked it again quite litrally a few minutes later, it showed 56%!
So I plugged in the Sony charger and cable at it appeared to start charging and after a short period of time, the charge showed 85%, and when I check it once more after 2 minutes, it showed 100%!
I then used it for the next 24 hours without issue, filming 2 4k videos of about 3 minutes each and taking a few pictures, and the battery indicator read 95%, which struck me as not being correct, but then it powered off by itself.
I then powered it back on as normal, and the battery indicator still read 95%, but then after about half an hour, it turned itself off and I was unable to get it to turn back on.
I had it on charge all of last night, and still nothing this morning.
The only thing I managed to get it to do was show the animated battery indicator that appears when it's turned off, and it showed it was in the red.
It appears that there is a bug as mentioned to do with the charging.
And this **bleep** bug thinks not only is the phone charged when it clearly isn't, but it also stops your mobile from charging correctly even when it's turned off.
And yes, I've attempted PC Companion, to no avail, because the phone battery is actually flat, it's unable to connect because all it then wants to do (most of the time) is go into a bootup loop, so it connects, then disconnects, etc. because there's obviously no charge whatsoever.
It's disgraceful this is complete rubbish was not only released from two big giants such as Google and Sony, but also that they've failed to sort it out quickly.
A quick search on the internet shows just how many people are having this problem, and that's with Z3's alone.
You've both let your customers down
To be honest, I'd settle for reverting back to the original Kit-Kat 4.4.4, but there seems to be nothing to advise me on how! And no doubt, I can't.
I'm still abroad until the 09th June, with a mobile that's effectively bricked.
If someone, or by some miracle, Sony can offer online assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.
