Ive noticed that in the sun (and doesnt have to be tropical - Im in the UK), when the phone gets warm the menu related to the main menu button keeps popping up every few seconds. This prevents me from using the phone as soon as I try to do something the menu keeps popping up
Anyone else having similar issues?
This will turn out to be a big problem in the summer

Hi, My xperia mini suffered the same, and i can tell you it'll get worse in days to come, even the phone doesnt get warm, and i hear some users have the same issue too, i think it might because of the capactive buttons cause the popping will stop when the screen turn off ( when u answer phones or turn off the screen )
Check this video too, it from a user that have the same problem
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=jUaY4wBjnWQ
OP, do you have an Xperia Mini or Pro?
I'm getting the same thing on my Xperia mini, when it heats up the back and menu buttons act as if they're being pressed repeatedly. Things go back to normal when it cools down...

this is random but, the touchscreen stops responding occasionally
specifically when i'm playing Mario Kart and holding the A button in for extended periods of time (n64oid)
it's not even when the system is hot it's really peculiar
actually now that i think about it this has happened a few times when i was on my homescreen as well where the touchscreen decided to stop responding yet if i pushed the buttons it still operated
anyone else seen this?
i was hoping it was ram related because i just used bloat freezer and cleaned up the ram nicely
The original X2 i had did this extremely often right out of the box (activation was a PITA)... as in it would work for 5-10 seconds (30 if i was lucky) and the touchscreen would "freeze" while all buttons and everything else were working as normal. Power button to make screen go off/on fixed it, but it would just happen 10 seconds later. Idk how bad yours is but if it is common enough see about a replacement (or hope OTA comes soon and fixes it for ya)
I'm Not Sure What It's Related To, Because I Can't Replicate It To A Certain Time Or Point Sometimes When Opening An App It Doesn't Recognize I Tapped The Icon Or When Texting Sometimes It Doesn't Know I Was Touching The Screen. Could Be Just Another Bug In The Software Which We Hope In The Future Will Be Resolved.
Its got the same feature as the atrix if one screen is pressed for more than 20secs in the same spot the screen turns off. Motorola claims to do this to protect against water damage
So I'd say at least once a week I run into an issue where a spot on my phone is unresponsive. Its always the same spot, usually notice it when I'm going to unlock my phone and I can't hit one of the targets, after about 5 attempts it tends to clear up on its on. Any ideas?

I had this problem before....i cud unlock the phone.but.the whole middle of the screen was unresponsive. I cud pull dwn the notification bar and choose watever i wantd but as soon as i closed the notification bar the middle of the screen was unresponsive. I was withn my 30 days so i exchanged it and havnt had a problem since
R.I.P. HD2 hello EVO 3D!!
Hmm, is there a diagnostic anywhere to do a full screen touch test?
I'm pretty certain this is a software based bug. Are both of you running stock ROM?
Every so often while running the stock rom I would get this where the middle of the screen was unresponsive. I found that pulling the taskbar down and selecting the task manager and killing all cleared the issue up every time.
Haven't had this happen since root/s-off was discovered.
I have my lumia 800 for a week, and now its happening something strange.. When i'm in a call for some time, and i want to end it the phone doesn't let me. Its still responsive, i can go to the start screen, etc.. but the phone call remains on top with the message "ENDING". After a couple of minutes the phone freezs completely and reboot.
Someone had the same problem??
It's not happening always, but it's frustrating... I was having such a pleasant use and then this happens.. and i'm becoming a little sad and worried.
I dont's know if its a problem of hardware, it seems software because doesn't occur always.
Thoughts?

Yes, I also had some similar kind of problems today, i could not answer the call, after they called me about 5 times i could, but then could only speak a few words before the call stopped. Also i saw the call was still running after the caller had hung up. I wanted to retart the phone, but it would not start up again, then i took it loose from the charger , and it beeped and after a while it started up again by itself.After that it worked oke again.
I think they have to look seriously at the software, there is something wrong here i believe.
I've also had this problem of calls not ending on occasion. It seems inconsistent so far though. I'd be interested to hear if this seems to be affecting everyone or if it's only a small number of handsets.
I have the same prb. The screen goes blank and cant end calls. Has to force restart

For all WP7 devices the screen automatically goes blank when you are on a call and the proximity / light sensor detects your head up to the phone. However, if the screen stays off when you move your head away from the phone it means your proximity sensor (or software related to it) is faulty as it still thinks you have the phone to your head.
This happened to my HD7 after a nasty drop on a tiled floor the other day; the sensor was dislodged and permanently was set to the "on" position. I could only end a call by pulling out the battery, unless the other party hung up first. And every time my alarm went off in the morning the screen would remain dark and I would have to press the power button to get at the snooze button (this is because the sensor is telling WP7 that the phone is in a pocket or somesuch, and not to turn on the screen as the alarm could be accidently disabled or snoozed).
I fixed it by dismantling the HD7, resettling the sensors and blowing out as much dust as I could. Has been working fine since! I wouldn't recommend doing the same for your Lumia 800 though...
I dont think it is a proximity sensor issue. In doing tests, the sensor works perfectly for calls if I only have the screen off for a short period of time. If I hold the device up to my face for say 30 seconds, then the device usually freezes up and the screen goes blank, not allowing me to end a call. This makes me believe that it is a software issue that, hopefully, nokia can sort out.
Well i have been quiet on this topic as i wanted to see if the update fixed this problem BUT NO.
Today i made a call and it didnt ring but said connected i then pressed end and nothing it didnt respond infact none of the keys did anything my lumia just froze.
I couldnt even turn it off so i took the sim out and nothing still conected i just had a phone that was frozen with no way out .. so i had a usless lumia all day at work untill the battery died..I HAD NO PHONE ALL DAY !!!
I just hope it was not connected properly or my bill will be huge from t-mobile ..
This has happened a few times befor the update and always always when the signal is quite low it seems ..
But its a joke when im stuck with a usless phone all day ..
NOKIA SORT THIS OUT ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Hopefully this is a software issue and we haven't all received a bad batch of lumias with wonky proximity sensors.
Is there absolutely no way of reseting / rebooting the Lumia? you just have to wait for the battery to die??! That seems ludicrous!
i face the same problem many time i reset the phone by pressing power key long.
i find if i was in 3G network this problem some times happen ,so i switch off 3G and now it more than 3 days it never happen
Well to answer that question ...no its happened nine times last week, 3 of those 9 the phone is usless and you have to wait for the battery to die..maybe that's why Nokia gave us a short battery life haha, the other 6 times after about 7 min you can turn it off to reboot and the rest of the phone is responsive .. So 30% of the time when it happens U have no phone :[ even a long press of the power button does nothing
Same problem here... You can restart the phone btw: Hold power button for 10 sec, then release the power button and press it again...
This is a big problem for me, hope a fix comes in fast...
Thanks,
Samo
Im having the same issues here. Other than this its a great phone. Hopefully get it sorted soon.
same problem here, although never had to wait for battery to die.
long hold of power (10sec+) usually reboots the phone.
I keep noticing the problem when changing locations (inside/outside buildings) which is usually connected to switching to 3g - if it happens during a call I am unable to end it with screen being responsive and phone saying that it is ending call (for 30 seconds and more)
contacted Nokia regarding this problem.. they told me to reset my handset.. this is the only option they have... DUMB
same problem here... did someone find any solution?
nopes........

You can hold the power button for 10 seconds, this will trigger a reboot.
I'm relatively often facing the same issues, worth noting is that it does seem to connect the call as I have had customers tell me they heard me grumbling before the call got disconnected (so I gotta be more careful with grumbling )
Happened to me last night, just turned the phone off (power for a few secs then slide down) and on again.
My screen is black and it doesnt showing anything but i can unlock it(i hear the unlock sound). I tried flashing a stock firmware and it didnt help.
Does someone know how to fix it?
hardware
So it looks as a hardware problem, mabe with backlight of the display.
What was the last thing that you were doing before that problem (phone fall down, get wet, modify some libs, reload firmware)?
HI
See this, I have the same problem, and my phone is back to consumers service im moment

hi mate, Do you always play games while you charging your phone? I think that is the cause of the problem, i had a blank screen problem too, but its not really bad bcoz when i push the on/off button on the top then push it again it will display the screen like a normal.And i notice this problem happened to me since i addicted to play a virtual tennis, i play till the battery drain and connected the charger and keep playing the game, after couple of day, then i got this problem. And one more thing, while i playing any games, i always used the home button to reply sms i got then i push the home button again to get back to the game i played.

its not working screen is still black
Hi all
Sorry for a newbie question.
I have a Sony Z Ultra which I really like, but recently the screen sometimes just starts rolling for no reason. I cannot read anything, and it often does not stop. I turn the screen off, then on, and it often doesn't show anything but then it does it is still rolling. I have to hard reset, and even then have to do that a few times before it starts up normally. It seems to be happening more frequently. Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks so much
Craig

It is more like rolling upwards, like an old tv that is not tuned to the channel properly (I am showing my age here because I still remember that)
I cannot take a screenshot because everything on the screen rolls, so cannot access the screenshot function or anything else for that matter.
I have found that when it happens I bend the phone backwards a little and it stops. This makes me think that perhaps the case may be slightly bent from a drop or from having it in my pocket which is somehow causing the problem.
It is not doing it now; I hope it won't return

From what you describe it sounds like your flex cable is causing the issue.
If that's the case, I could be wrong you can take it apart or return it to Sony. I'd just buy a new one. Sounds like a flex cable issue to me
A final development in the story of my phone. The rolling came back, got worse, and then I had times where I would push the power button to light up the screen out of power-saving screen off mode, and nothing would happen. The back-light would light up, but just a blank, black screen...
I sent it to the repair center and the quote came back. It would need a whole new screen.
The cost was going to be pretty high, so I looked online and bought a whole new phone for only 60 cents more than the repair quote!
I just hope my new phone lasts longer than the old one
