Hello,
I had several issues with my Z3 since I bought it, all of them solved with warranty. Last year I had a battery problem (the typical problem for which battery charges slowly and/or doesn't at all, and/or battery lastas much less than normal.
Exactly 1 year ago local service fixed the probem by replacing the battery. I said, after they fixed, tht I was afraid this problem will come up again... My warranty expired last week and surprise: right after warranty is gone I'm having the same problem again: battery drains when plugged on charger or charges extremely slowly (15 hours for full charge from around 30 %). Anyone suggesting cable, charger, connection, etc please save the advice. IT IS BATTERY PROBLEM, which happened 1 year ago and is back again with a new battery.
Conclusion: local serviced placed a non original battery or just battery of this phone is a plain rip off. I will obvoiuly not take it to local service again to get rip off "again" (this time they would charge me a lot I know), I will buy any other cheaper and better quality brandt and foget my Sony nightmare.
As a kind of retaliation, because I work in a big multinational, I convinced the purchases guy to not to buy the few hundreds Sony phones he chose for shift employees next year. I am also quite active on certain sites and social networks and spreading the word, it is a pleasure that just since this week, at least almost 100 people that trust our reputation declined their initial intention to buy sony phones.
