Buttons not working. Brand new phone.

Buttons not working. Brand new phone.

3rd Z5 premium now. 

1st had very bad screen fade, after just a few months, lines appearing. Sony fixed under warranty.

The fixed phone worked well until about a month ago, so had that one for about 13 months. Although the headphone socket hasn't worked for a long time, I could work with that using sound about app. However I shouldn't really have had to. 

Got this dead phone fixed under my insurance. Or rather they sent a brand new phone. Good service actually, with Barclays. Apart from sending a 'like' phone. The gold one. Previously I had the chrome. 

Now, 2 days after receiving this phone the buttons have all stopped working! Can't alter volume, no fingerprint, power not working and phone doesn't vibrate or speaker phone! 

This is a brand new phone! This should in no way happen! 3rd phone all with manufacture faults. In less that a 2 year contract life cycle! Shocking Sony. I hope the ZX Premium is more 'Premium' than your last flagship!

I'm hoping this latest 'new' phone has a new warranty from Sony and they will be fixing or replacing it?! Would it? 

Although, having read that others with this problem have been denied warranty fixes. I will not be happy!

I had exactly the same thing. All buttons stopped working. Was having to plug my phone into a charger to wake the screen up so I could get in. Eventually I spoke to Sony who said do a reset. I did what they said and that just switched the phone off - so now there was no way of switching it back on, because non of the buttons worked. Thanks Sony. I then had to send it off for repair, UNABLE TO BACK ANYTHING UP BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SWITCH ON. The repairers do a factory reset as standard, so goodbye photographs of my baby daughter's first day in the world.... They did fix it, but now my WIFI is not working, on any network, all other devices fine, and its costing me a fortune in mobile data. This is my third and last Sony.

Didn't think of that! Battery dying can't turn on! Thanks for your reply. 

Battery got to 4 percent earlier. Close call!

Anyone from Sony going to reply?
