screen crack

[rajchauhan]

Mine screen of z3 broken... It was really heart broken.. It was fallen just less than 1 ft hight with ordinary transparent back cover.. But really truly speaking i had not imagined that screen could get be broken from such a minimal hgt..It got a crack on the upper side..just hair line but upper toch stopped working...It was really painful I spent 48000/-.. Can anybody tell how much it costs to replace the same in india ..As Sony people asked me to wait for 10 days after that they will let me know the actual costing.. It is requested to Sony people to resolve this issue of such a fragile screen, even big car makers call back their faulty devices then y mobile companies do not resolve such issues.. I guess people.. Atleast I fell Sony made me fool... Sorry Sony is won't be now yr customer again.. Good bye..

Hi, 

I've got an Xperia Z. I haven't dropped the phone or anything of the sort, but one day I took it off charge after about an hour to find that the touch screen was not working at all. Only until I removed my screen protector, I saw a crack on the screen which got progressivly worse throughout the day.

I've researhed online and there seems to be a lot of forums where people have said the same thing; cracks have just appeared on the screeen. I've called Sony, they gave me no advice on the issue. I have to send it in and if they decide it will not be covered under warranty I will have to pay a fee to get it shipped back. The fee covers the time it take for the technician to look at the phone, the storage and the shipping. That's ridiculous, the technician isn't my employee, this is what they are payed to do! For an issue that seems to be quite common, i would have expected better customer service and better knowledge/advice about it. 

Any advice?

My new z3 broke the back glass when I had it in my pocket and sat down in my car. It seems to me it was defective as it suffered no fall or shock. What can I do?

Another case of sony's magic self cracking screens. I had a hard network recommended case and screen protector on my phone and it cracked without any impact whatsoever. I have sent it to Sony thinking it would be covered by the warranty but have been sent a quote for over £100! Sony are refusing to acknowledge the problem saying it was external damage. How many people will need to report the same problem before they acknowledge fault?

I'm sorry to hear that but even if you add a case and a screen protector your phone can still crack if you drop it, sit on it, hit it, etc, with that said, the screen can't crack by itself, if you took pictures, you can upload them and maybe someone can pinpoint out the point of impact.

My z5 premium fell less than a foot on to the floor of my car in its case and the screen cracked rendering the phone unusable
