Sony z3 compact xperia back and home button not working
1. The drop down notification menu does not displays properly when slided over from top to bottom
2. Back and home button works once in a blue moon. Previously they were working great. Now i will have to try for more than 25 times to make that happen or restart the device.
Please let me know if this is a software issue caused by the latest software release or is there a way to bring back the old version of software. Eventually i need a working software and not this piece of ugly software quality.
Please respond when this issue will be resolved.

Please suggest some fix for this or share the link to rollback two of Sony xperia z3 compact updates for users who have this problem. Without back/home button, I can't move between applications and the navigation is complete mess. Every time I have to restart the phone to work on a new app it to return to home screen. This is such an annoying update. Waiting for your reply at the earliest.
@hue899
If you come across any work around to fix this issue please post the same. Thanks.

Check with Sony service center if it's so. My Sony panel replacement was covered under warranty. Good luck.

Hi @AliceBtBig
Please, first run a backup of the device information as explained here. Then perform the system repair using PC Companion or Bridge for MAC. This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off until you are prompted (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion -> Support zone -> Update my phone/tablet -> Blue Repair my phone/tablet -> follow instructions. When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button. The repair or reformat process will start. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64 bit operating system adjust settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode -> chose Windows 7 or XP. I´m at disposal for any question.
