My XZ died yesterday - I was not able to switch it on.
Pressing Vol+ and power helped and phone switched on again.
WTF? Anyone experienced similar issue?
Bought my Xperia Z a week ago and was thrilled with it until it just died yesterday for no reason. Symptoms: battery has drained withing 6-7 hours after full charging, phone was quite hot although no heavy apps running. After full battery discharge it just simply would not charge or react to any action: power button, power button + volume up key: both do not work however long I press them. Dont know what to do, so frustrating!!. Do not want to switch back to iPhone....
Any ideas except than just returning it back (got it in Moscow, while I was travelling for a short trip, would need to travel all the way there again and not sure if they accept returns or exchanges...) ??
I do not think you should discharge the battery 100%.
Infact, I always wait for it to go to 4% a 5% and then charge it.
Did so with my Xperia Play for almost 2 years and the battery seems to be ok still.
If you still can not turn on your phone:
- Plug in the AC adapter using the wall socket and wait for a while.
(I can remember reading somewhere that some devices refuse to charge via USB if the battery is 100% depleted.)
Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Stefan.
That is a serious bummer!
- Does the RED charging led go on when plugging in charger using wall socket?
- Sounds stupid, but did you try another wall socket and leave it to charge?
- Did you try to remove the USB cable from the wallsocket adapter and plug it back in?
(If the USB bit is not plugged in correctly it will not charge aswell, had this with my phone yesterday.)
Kind regards, Stefan.

Mine died 2 times within 2 days I got it. The sleeping error which can be solved by holding all buttons for 3 seconds. I then took it off stamina mode and hadn't had a problem so far 2 days later.

Oh Dear, who said that, Xperia Z will not die after update of 4.3. My friend's phone is dead now thrice after updating the phone with 4.3 actually it didn't die with me before update, so i can say with my experience that the 4.3 is the problem or it had not solved the issue if it was existing before there.
I have no hope that Sony with its manufacturing plant in China can make such a phone that can be presumed to be water proof at all. They must take back themselves to Japan or somewhere else in the world.
I had an interest in Sony mobiles, which is now gone away i would still love Samsung, as they have no such major issues in their sets. Sony is a crap.
I have the same problem ... can you tell me how did you fix it ? cuz no screen and no led at all even when charging means that I can't flash any software at all !!
thx for helping
