Problem number 4 - despite data calls being turned off, the phone did made regular daily data calls, really small 15-40k, but I had to change tariff plan, otherwise it was too costly (had a plan with 0 bites included). That had to be some software issue.
In theory it's a good phone, in practice - not so much. But there is a catch, that's not my personal C6603, it's from my workplace and I'm the third user as far as I know, guess there was a reason why the first guy dropped this phone and got another.
Problems include (in the order of appearance):
1) GPS receiver is far from perfect, sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't, "GPS test": shown that it does register satellites but fails to get a lock,
2) a couple of times it seized to signal about incoming calls, no sound, no vibration, nothing, only a pop-up window appears, and I'm not the only one with this problem. Had to reset to factory settings twice, then this problem disappeared as suddenly as it started,
3) now I often don't hear people talking to me, while they hear me perfectly well. Restarting the phone helps for a short time, but seems I need to do it several times a day.
So in summary - less than 3 years old Xperia Z is a really nice small tablet, with really good camera, big screen with high resolution and quite powerful hardware, unfortunately it all too often fails to serve as a phone. I was really enthusiastic about it being somewhat dust, water and slightly shock proof, as I often ride a bicycle, so I could get a cradle and put this phone on my bike while riding, but if the GPS doesn't function properly, then what's the point in doing so?

Basically, plug in charger as usual, leave it for a little while, then press and hold ON/OFF button, which gives an extra "kick" and helps the phone to rise up, usually it helps almost instantly, however some guys went so far as to fix the button pressed with a tape.
i'm using this phone for last 2 years, and now its suddenly dead..it's cannot be charge, no power at all..it's the second to have a problem..previously no signal at all..so i can claim for damage..now i guess i can't claim any from sony..so anyone can help? i like this for it durability..

Dear Friends
I suggest you to do not purchase Sony Cell phones for following reasons
1. Poor product quality, like: Heating up of hand sets, getting frequent hang in between, automatic restart, etc.....
2. Poor service response by service provider
3. Poor response of Sony service call center.
4. No response of Sony Chairman(Mr. Kazuo.Hirai, email id: kazuo.hirai@jp.sony.com) after many followups
5. Cheating customers in the name of up-gradation of hand set.
I really need help on how to block some very painful calls from telemarketers.
If someone can help me please I would be very grateful
