Slayer, 13 Jun 2015Credit to Sony! Customers experience a problem, it is reported, Sony owns the problem then fix... moreThey already knew that the S810 chipset had real issues with overheating and throttling, but they still went ahead and put it on their "new" device. And no, a mere software update is likely not going to fix a hardware problem. The S808 would've been a good choice, but no. Sony just loves to shoot itself on both feet!

Credit to Sony! Customers experience a problem, it is reported, Sony owns the problem then fixes it! Job done....If only other companies owned their customers' issues in the same way instead of going into denial mode. Looking at you Samsung as the battery life on S6 is crap and you know it!

I think Qualcomm has been bought to destroy the already ailing Sony and HTC smartphones.

Billyj, 12 Jun 2015Everything is a software fix these days, my cat hates me, but wait there is a software fix for... moreLOL. Finally someone said it! That "firmware update" blanket response for all issues is no longer going to work. Release the phone without flaws instead of pushing newer models every 6 months.

Hmm yet again Sony flaws show up. And when legit claims of Z3 compact self cracking were reported all these Sony fanboys who don't even own the phone were claiming those are lies, samsung paid trolls etc... Nice work you're doing covering Sony's butt and the consequence is that they've yet to sort out any problems.
Sony just repackaging the same crap for 2 years now. Even the M9 wasn't so bad a release.

Aramissss, 13 Jun 2015Snapdragon has released revised version for 810 cpu, which does not have overheating problem.The Z3+ has the fixed version of Snapdragon 810. So maby they need to indeed optimize it some more.

software fix could only mean down clocking the 810

AnonD-405798, 13 Jun 2015for me, this phone shoul 5.5 inch screen with massive 4000mah battery. then i satisfied and wa... moreIt's not the OS it's the CPU. Any other CPU than the Snapdragon 810, 610 or 410 doesn't overheat so severely. In fact the Snapdragon 801 couldn't overheat even if it runs constantly at max speed.

This is a disaster to these overheating phones....
Hope that exynos7 galaxy s6 gets the same update to fix the same problem:

Anonymous, 13 Jun 2015There's no software fix. They can only gimp the Snapdragon clock speed to make it slower but ... moreYes, sony better take it that way..
