Wow. I never would have figured that out! I never use Small Apps, but apparently sometime pressed one. Just now I long-pressed one, and -- poof! -- it was deleted and the trash can disappeared. I have no idea what Small App I just deleted. LOL!

A few weeks ago the "Recent Apps" display changed on my Z3C. Before, I would get a nice bright display of all open apps. Now, I get a full brightness trash can icon, but the app thumbnails are all dimmed. It's difficult to make out the apps in a reasonably light environment. This screenshot...

Thanks, but the first one covers the magnetic charging port, no? Seems like I'll need to find an otherwise acceptable bumper and do some surgery with an Xacto knife to expose the magnetic port. I had been hoping for a nice OOBE with a rubber bumper, but my hopes have dimmed.

Thanks. I was hoping there was some esoteric ritual I could perform. I'm going to wait a day or so to see if it resurrects, like a few people have reported. If it remains unresponsive, I'll try the store. I also seem to recall seeing a Sony repair center someplace.

Being new to Sony Xperia phones in particular and Android in general, are there any "standard fixes" for when a phone seems to be dead? After routinely putting the phone to sleep with about 35% battery capacity left, I now can not rouse the phone, nor charge it. Long press (20 seconds) of...
