problem with touch screen - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I have a big problem!! I flashed the new minicm7 rom and it was running perfectly till now, that my touch screen went crazy!! it scroll down all the time, no matter where I pressed, it presses by it self at the bottom of the screen... sometimes it works a little bit, and then my problem comes back again... I tried to reflash the rom, wipin and factory reset, but I got the same problem even in the lock screen...
Could it be hardware problem? My phone didn't suffer a fall or something like that... it's very annoying!!
has anyone experienced that?? what should I do? should I try to reppair with SEUS? in that case how?? and if the problem persists what should I do to leave it exactly in the stock way in case I had to send it to reppair?? because I still have warranty... please help me!! I'm desperated!!!
thanks if you please help me!!

i'm sure there must be someone who can help me! please

I only get this problem if my phone is on charge. But other than that its ok.

I've experienced this but on the Cyanocream Sandwich. It fixed itself upon reboot. never had the problem since. might not work in your case, but give it a shot

thx you 2 for your advices but nothing seems to work. i flashed minicm2.1.4 after 2.1.5 and the problem persists... when I was desperated I tried update with pc companion and it seemed to work but the problem came back. what its amazing is that its not happening continously but randomly and if it happens I block and unblock the screen and it works for a while...
when the problem appears what i experienced its exactly like this: if i watch web pages and i scroll down my screen goes to the top inmediately and i cannot keep on scrolling down,or if im writing if i press a letter one different below is pressed instead...or watching my apps if i go left it goes down crazy as if it wanted to go beyond the bottom of the screen...
if anyone else could help i would appreciate it,if not i'll have to send it to repair for free because its still on guarantee... in that case how should i do to leave my phone in the exactly stock way for the technicals not to see its rooted or unlocked bootloader...
thank you in advance!

As you said you have to use SEUS to return to stock FW. Just turn off your phone and then follow the steps on the computer. When it comes to relocking the bootloader, I cant help you as I have not tried to relock mine yet.
Good luck

[Q] Problem, Stuck in Black screen doesn't wake up

Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-

Unresponsive Screen

I've experienced a problem with my Atrix actually quite randomly one day. While on jokersax's CM9 KANG ROM my touchscreen and capacitative buttons became unresponsive at a seemingly random time.
I've tried to wipe dalvik cache, reflash the ROM, wipe to factory settings and then reflash the ROM, even tried the PDS partition fix but nothing has worked.
I don't know what to do now... can anybody help from here? Thank you so much!
After trying all that I would start wondering about the hardware not the software
Hit thanks if this was helpful

Hi, you just described my exact problem. I'm using GingerMod 2.3.6 # 9 but I can't remember if I had this problem with the French ROM, that was my first Custom firmware. The only way to make it back to normal in my case was pulling out the battery and, recently I discovered that "adb reboot" worked too, so, if I'm not near a PC I need to pull the battery...
I'm afraid it's a HW problem, since my warranty was voided almost a week after I got the phone. Hopefully someone could post something that can help us.

I had this same problem and eventually my screen wouldn't work no matter what. I tried all the same things you guys did to no avail. I just flashed a stock fruitcake [couldn't find original recovery] and sent it in to Moto. They just got it a couple of days ago and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully they look past my software modifications and realize that it's obviously a hardware issue.
When I was on miui rom a few months back, this problem was very small and almost never happened.
Back to cm7 nightlies and it happens all the time.
Just happened. Lol

Same problem..
Flashed Turl's CM9, experienced a crash and 30% of the screen has become unresponsive since... It sucks and I need proof of purchase in order to send it in.. Too bad I bought it second hand.. Motorola... never again.
Me too. I've been blessed by unresponsive capacitive buttons. I was looking on how to edit an ICS Rom to include on screen buttons, but I just settled on downloading Button Savior to save time.
Is it possible that there is a bad connection inside the phone that I could fix by myself?
If someone knows how to make a ROM I would love if there were an on screen keyboard ROM (fingers crossed!!!).
F word... same problem for me.. i dont think it is hw because i just got my phone back from motorola for a dead touch zone repair. it never became unresponsive until i put cm9 on it... WE NEED A FIX!!!! i cannot use my phone at all. pds fix didnt work for me either

Hi my friend. I am assuming that you mean the touch issue where to menu keeps randomly flashing up and making the phone pretty much unusable?! if so,i had the same thing happen to my st15i.
the best thing to do is if you are still under warranty, take the phone back and they will sort it for you. What they will do is factory reset AND re- calibrate the touch screen.
Its to do with the device heating up, a well known problem. If you cant take it back to be fixed then let me know and i will point you in the direction of a guide to re- calibrate the touch screen yourself. I havent tried this myself as i had took mine in for repair,but it looks reasonably straight forward. No promises that it will work if you try do it yourself though
hope this helps

LWW Return doesn't always work.

Hey !
My rom is full stock .431 ICS version but the same problem happens on .587
The return button sometimes lags and doesnt work. After few spam clicks it starts to work again. The touchscreen in that place of the screen is working so it must be something else.
Any idea what to do? Or I have to send it on the guarantee.

If you have never rooted and most importantly unlocked boot loader then my advice Is that you should send it to service center asap..

It's a known problem, many people get this. Sometimes they "spam" the button to fix this or lock and unlock again or reboot. As far as I know there's no fix, yet....
Maybe really bring it to service if you never rooted and bootloader is locked...
On some LWW forum people told me that it also happens to people with GB and after they send it to service they just flash new rom and thats all. The guarantee is 2 years and I can do everything they will do there here at home , so better not to lose 2 weeks without a phone..
Some people also have problems like it with the right button (menu) . For me it's working fine.
Well thanks for info anyway. I'll keep with it for now. If it gets worse I'm sending it to service.
-1 point to Sony Ericsson for a bug on the whole model line
I also sometimes happens that problem flashing the tft try again or repair with PC Companion but can you solve the problem
I found the reason. Dirty screen on return/menu place...
After I cleaned it and made it dirty again its the same, so it's not a soft or hardware problem
Just keep the screen really clean

ahha my LWW is always dirty after a full day of use xD, I'll take your suggestion into account, would play around with a cleaning cloth to keep the screen to avoid this problem :highfive:

Android problems after trying to unlock BL

So after messing around with fastboot with a working phone, I think what I did was flashed both ics and jb uboot and xloader, and when I turned my phone on it had the same weird fastboot screen striping at the bottom. They are really strange problems that aren't necessarily phone breaking but unbearably annoying.
After a couple of uses in the messaging app, it hangs at startup,usb debugging doesn't connect to pc, if i use a lock screen besides instant unlock the screen stays black when you try to unlock it, and finally lots of apps seemingly randomly crash and are pretty slow. I tried flashing stock kdzs', and resetting with cwm. All seem to work at first but the phone degrades after about a day. There really isn't any error reports I can think of but if someone knows of one to help me, or help someone else help me solve this problem that'd be great.
flash the ics x and u and do a kdz flash it will fix it same thing happened to me before i unlocked mine
Alright I'll try it today. Thanks for the reply!

Well usb debugging isn't connecting but that could be a driver problem. The lock screen so far seems to be working. Again thanks for the reply thasilenthacker.
Sigh, Nope after about 3 hours the screen started screwing up again. If anyone knows how to somehow completely reset it or something, i'm really hoping it's not a hardware problem.
