Xperia Z3 Speaker issue

[Kti]

Does anyone have any issue with the top speaker on a Sony xperia z3 phone? Mine looks like there is boubble on the left corner of the speaker! And I also think I have a little flapping noice when playing music through the phone speakers. Can anyone with one of those phone can confirm if you anything like that or not?

Should i take the phone to a local service center?

Thanks.

I got the same problem as yours, my speaker also got flapping noise with the top speaker. I went to Sony and changed a new one and still got the problem, so i think this is hardware problem to all Z3 phones. You can check this issue by playing Piano music/song, i think the broken sound come from some frequency

Update: the phone that i check at other store for showing only, also got flapping noise when playing song with speaker, it also happen only to top speaker when at 70% volume and up.

So dissapointed for a flagship phone which i have to wait for months.

Think i got the same. Does this flapping noise sounds like there is something moving inside the top speaker? I can only hear this noise when I do calls. Its not a big issue but its annoying.

I was about to call Xperia Care but after your comments i am not sure if its worth to try.

Thanks for the direction. I have sent my phone to Fonebiz  as instructed by the Sony CS team.

As it happened that was my Very First Sony manufactured mobile phone for me. I thought I have chosen the best of all in the market! But only be able to use that phone just about a week and left over without a phone now, due to which I think is a manufacturing defect! Surely this a pure bad luck for me. Nevertheless I still liked that phone in so many ways.

I guess, now I wait and see how it turns out when I get that phone back in two weeks time.

Agreed! 

Sony is known for perfection! 

At least both of us thought that way.

yeah well first Sony purchase and I'm real dissapointed.. moving back to HTC as soon as they get the m9 out

got the same problem as everyone in the post below with the notification sounds, check it out you will see how many complain about this and no one from Sony came by saying something.

just ridiculous for a 600€ phone..

Hi All,

I think I pressed "solved" without understanding what it will do.

Now it showing the issue is solved!

To make it clear to someone who is looking for the fix of the actual speaker issue.

Unfortunately, I don't know that issue is fixable or not! I am yet to find out once I get my phone back from the Sony CS.

Until I hear anything from them I think it will be inappropriate to say the issue is solved. Neither should I comment more about the phone itself. After all it is their flagship model.

Took a wrong decision in buying Sony Z3.

Was very excited before buying it but at the same time feels bad for making a wrong decision.

Firstly the back panel heats up like **bleep** if you play a game or keep it for charging.

The major issue is that there is a static noise which comes when you are on call. whenever you out the caller on speaker there is static noise which comes.

I am going to send over the piece for check whats the issue. Sony should seriuosly look into this as we all pay a heafty sum to buy a product like this and are disappointed at the end result. Sony needs to wake up and check their phones before launching them in the market. If the issue doesnt gets fixed I am going to put a ban on using any Sony products and will also suggest others not to buy it.

WAKE UP SONY.

Frustated Sony Z3 user.
