when I'm reading web page, and I'm scrolling up or down, the tablet randomly ZOOMS right in to part of the page i'm on. Often to a section that I'm not even reading. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
thanks, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about cuz it's driving me crazy!!
This happens to me sometime, all I can say is that the touch screen is too sensitive, I have to make sure that my finger doesn't stay on the screen to long.
Yeah the screen seems to have a sensitivity issue.
I'm just sayin!

Can't say it'a an issue, this happens to ipad and Samsung Galaxy tablet as well when I tried my friends' devices.When you get used to your device, this will happen less.

Hopefully this is the case. Then I'll less likely feel this is a problem isolated to my unit.

The Sony S is super sensitive to quiver-fast double taps and finger jiggles (that you may not know you are doing.) Pretty sure that you'll get used to it and, even without thinking about it, simply adjust your browsing method. Takes a day or so to get beyond it.
Well, I've got my tablet for a few months now and I think every day that this is a pain in the ass. Regarding this issue I love the ipad. Or my galaxy s. Neither of them have this issue.

Did you put a screen protector on the screen without removing the factory one? I did at first and was having the same issue as you. Couldn't even type a message because it kept double tapping letters i was trying to type and scrolling while browsing sucked.
I took off the one I put on and just have the factory one now and, though it still happens some times, it is definitely better than it was before.

Yeah I had to do this same thing. The extra screen protector desensitized the hell out of tablet S. I've taken it off and it's much better, but still double taps at times on 1 tap.

The salesman at the sony store put it on for me. So im not sure. I'd like to this he dd it properly.
I truly believe my tablet is defective. The problem I mentioned above plus horrible and slow scrolling, widgets disappearing, widgets freezing. Etc....
My tablet has been a lot better since I removed the protective film covering the screen. The cover was kinda thick. Now the colors are brighter and the viewing angle is better. I like the texture of the glass too.
I also don't notice the "ghost touches" that would happen right after I'd touch the screen, kind of like a double tap. Those were few and far between, but I've been enjoying my tablet sans protector enough, that this is just a bonus.
I'm not guaranteeing it, but this might fix your issue. You could also try replacing it with a thinner protector. My nook color's touchscreen was crazy without a protector, maybe this tablet is the opposite.
---
It also sounds like you could use a factory reset. I was having issues with my tablet being crappy and slow, and after doing a factory reset, freezing the unneeded apps (pretty much all of the Sony ones), disabling the media scanner, and applying the V6 supercharger script OOM values, my tablet has been pretty snappy.
I've been using the new Go Launcher HD home app in place of the default launcher which I froze (aka disabled the package).
Wait, there is a screen protector coming with the tab? I purchased the sony screen protector and put it on. So I've got two protectors on it?

Same with me, my tablet came with a free protector and the shop put it on for me. I am not sure if there is one already there as some insisted here but I have no sensitivity issue even if there are two screen protectors!
Yes it has a protector on it. It is very tough to keep the screen from getting cracked. To remove it, start at one of the corners with your fingernail. I used the bottom rounded corners to start. At first the screen will feel a little rough, but that's from the adhesive. Clean it with sone electronics spray and a microfiber cloth.
I like mine better with out it. The screen feels like glass now instead of plastic.
Yes..the tablet comes with a screen protector preinstalled which you can see if you look closely at the edge of the screen.

Here's a thread with pictures and info on how to remove the factory screen protector...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501144
screen protector
I have the same touch sensitivity problems on my Tablet S (16GB WiFi) purchased in Singapore. Frequent hypersensitive touch behavior leading to random zooming and double taps, 'stickiness' in scrolling menus etc.
I read about the factory installed screen protector here on XDA but was unsuccessful in removing it...couldn't even get the edges to come off. Went down to the local Singapore Sony Service center and asked them to take a look at the hypersensitive touch issue...and what do you know...I couldn't reproduce it on the spot. Tried for 15 min, but the tablet behaved perfectly during the period . Couldn't convince the service tech that something was wrong.
Anyway, i asked them to remove the factory supplied screen protector and they said it should NOT be removed since it's not merely a protector, but a necessary part of the display for improving color reproduction and decreasing glare. Don't know if he was BSing me, but I left it at that. Note the image on this official website under the 'Sony’s amazing TruBlack™ display' section...
[EDIT: Looks like I cannot post a URL as a new user. Please check the Sony Singapore Tablet S official website]
I bought the official Sony screen protector (matte type) and had them install it. The sensitivity is much better now and the frequency of random zoom and double-tap has decreased drastically; but it's still there and pops up occasionally.
I am unsure of what to do next. Could it be a software issue? Among the browsers, I notice that it is most prominent/frequent in Opera Mobile. Occurs less frequently in the stock browser.
Today, I noticed that we have a possibility to set the sensibilty in our settings. Just go to input help (probably not the correct word... mine is german. It's the setting with the hand as a symbol). Within, there is a setting called something like touchscreen gestures. My tablet was default set to short. I changed it and now I don't experience the zoom issue anymore.

It's Touch n Hold Delay under Accessibility and default setting is Short.
I have no screen sensitivity problem on my tablet with extra screen protector on (I'm not sure if there is one factory installed on my tablet until today) so this function is useless to me
Hmm it seems that the touch and hold adjustment worked for me so far. Nice find!

I just bought a Tablet Z 32GB WIFI version model SGP312 from Hong Kong. The stock firmware version is 10.1.C.0.344.
It seems to me the touchscreen is very sensitive. E.g. when I am scrolling in Google play, it often "register" my finger motion as a touch and opens up the apps. When in Google Chrome, when scrolling a webpage, it will something zoom in, or open up new links instead.
It makes the tablet almost unusable. Anyone having similar issues. I read from this forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289978 the following"10.1.C.0.353
Released on 8 May
Touch responsiveness improved."
However, I tried using Flashtool to update the newer firmware (I've unlock my tablet's bootloader) but it doenst flash at all, no error messages.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Yes, mine is oversensitive, too. Same Firmware as you, unrooted, untouched firmware.
I will send it back anyway because additionally the screen is too yellow, the headphone protection is not firmly in place, video playback from SMB is stuttering, YouTube has out of sync problems, and the USB port isn't able to power my external disk (something my other tablets do without problems).
This device is seriously overrated; I think the reviewers are kind of dazzled by the thinness and low weight and thus too willing to overlook the weaknesses.

Youtube works fine with mine, and you can pull the pre-installed screen protector out and replace with an after-market one, thats should take care of the yellowish, and by external disk you mean the portable one?

Anytime, it is a shattered proof film, but thats film mean to protect you, not the screen, its contains glass fragments in case the screen get broken, so feel free to pull it off and buy a replacement one on amazon, i did the same to my xperia z phone as well, the pre-installed film attracts alot of dust, and fingerprints magnet.

Some oddball complaints I just heard (not saying they necessarily make sense):
- Screen image yellowish: Apparently an early production issue?
- Power button sort of wobbly
- Bad protection film on screen ( can't it just be pulled off and replaced by a 3M or so?)
- Videostream playback crappy when Bluetooth is active?
Protection
I have seen the display protector on Youtube, he thought it was a standard one and thought it could be taken off, so I would say it's not good. Maybe we can just replace it
I can confirm that on me device (SGP311DE):
Screen image is yellowish!
my SO- 03E screen is heavy yellow!!
will you return it?
Compare the Xperia Z display to a white sheet of paper. If one has other devices (many of which can have a blue/hi temperature cast to them) the sudden change to a white or even a warm screen can look very yellow.

It has a yellow tint compared to a white paper too.
I am not bothered by it though.
So, basically:
screen yellowish: yes.
power button sort of wobbly: yes..but not even close to the "I am afraid it will fall off" area or something like that.
bad protection film - cannot confirm, the film is fine
bluetooth audio - got nothing to test that.
On my Tablet Z the USB port doesn't deliver enough current to power a 2.5" external harddisk.
The disk works fine with a Nexus 7 and an Acer A700.

Screen colour looks absolutely fine to my eyes.
Power button is a little bit wobbly. I can't understand why that would bother anyone though.
I immediately removed the screen protector film. It looked like standard packaging stuff rather than attempt at a proper permanent screen protector. I never use screen protectors anyway.
Video playback of a full HD movie with sound playing through bluetooth speakers was faultless.
Hope that helps.

err... You do not mean the sticky tabe which was on the screen fresh out of the box? Because that isn't the screen portector film.
Do you still have the Sony logo on the top left? That one is printed on the screen protector film, so if you had removed it there would be no logo anymore either.

WOW, I didn't even know there was a screen protector on it, I bought one with the table and was slowly getting round to fitting it...guess I have a spare now.
I've been very happy with mine, Bluetooth audio and SMB movie streaming from my Windows server works great. Powers my external SD card reader without additional power.
But I have just raised a case with Sony about my screen, since this morning I've got a very yellowish area along the right hand side of the screen, only noticeable on light backgrounds. Looks like a burn mark or something similar.
Will have to see what happens there.

Last time I saw partial screen yellowing along an edge, it was due to glass separation along that edge from the chassis on a 32 GB Wifi Nexus 7. The image was also grainier than on my old (and currently only) 16GB Nexus 7. Don't know if that helps in the diagnosis.

Did you put a new screen protector on? From the sounds of it I'll be taking it off straight away, but I don't like screen protectors, so I don't want to add another.
If so, is it fine? Are there any hairline scratches? Cheers

No I haven't, but plan to do it later, cause the screen itself attracts to much fingerprints. But in terms of scratches - there are none so far, even though I don't use cover also. And I doubt there will be anytime soon, cause if I'm not mistaken they use dragontrail glass, same as on Galaxy Nexus, which I didn't bother to put protection on, and which is still like new even after a year of intensive usage.

Things like this are always a double edged sword.
On 1 hand people will see this as an issue and dislike it, or others like myself will like it as it makes the screen effortless to interact with.
I can see your point though, especially if you are coming from a device with a screen not as sensitive.
I come from an iphone, and have played extensively with a S 3,none of which have these issues,and are just as effortless

I had this problem with the Sony Tablet Z and it drove me crazy.. a software update fixed the issue but I returned the tablet anyways. But I have seen no issues like that with my Ultra Z.
Yup, updated this morning hoping for a fix but seems the same. ..trying to do factory restore right now to see if that helps
.475 seemed to have fixed that issue on my phone.

A factory reset DID help ! The touch still has occasional issues but much better now ... Finally can use the phone properly
Sorry, it didn't help. problem still exists and Sony is telling me this is acting as suggested. I guess I'll have to wait for someone (hopefully) come up with a sensitivity adjustment.
Did you apply any screen protector as certain bad screen protector will affected the sensitive issue.
Other wise, did you a iPhone ex owner. No biased on this, but base on what I had seen so far, certain iPhone owner can't proper use Android phone due to the touch & scroll method is different. Android only need to slightly touch not like iPhone need much pressure on it.
I've removed the screen protector, same thing.
It can't be an iphone vs android thing, the problem doesn't exist on Samsung devices I've played with or my Nexus 7.
It feels more like the screen is not sensitive enough? It isn't registering that I am still scrolling and so it registers a finger "lift" and selects into an item. Same thing if I try to hold a key on the keyboard to access secondary letter (holding down on a key to select comma, for example) it'll repeat hitting that key. I have to exert a lot more pressure and be very sure my finger doesn't move to properly access the secondary key.

The repeat-hitting when tap-hold is very abnormal. Why your service center didn't recognize that as a problem when they examine it? I think you should request for replacement.
I also had the same problem... touchscreen is a little bit buggy.. but the latest patch did fix a little bit.. but its still there. still far from my ip5 , s3 s4 note 1 note 2... hope they will fix these soon.
I have exactly the same problem on mine, sometimes is really hateful but for sure when rooted we will be able to change that value.
I also have major issues with the screen.
The best way to illustrate the problem is by holding a finger on the screen on the lockscreen.
It just flickers a lot like I'm tapping repeatedly on the screen.
I've updated and factory reset without it fixing anything :/
I was wrong, I still have issues. The newer firmware just made it overall a little "better" but I am going to send it in for repairs...this is ridiculous.

I'm having the same issue with the screen sensitivity. It also skips when using a pencil as a stylus, which is the main reason I bought this phone- to draw and take notes.

It has become very annoying, and I'm wondering if I should hold out for the next update or send it in now...I have no backup phone.

I don't like amoleds, need pentaband and can't fit anything bigger than the z ultra into my pocket. It has become very annoying, and I'm wondering if I should hold out for the next update or send it in now...I have no backup phone.

I've sent it in yesterday.
The Sony associate said he can see the issue as being "screen more sensitive than usual" but can't promise anything. He said he will demonstrate it to his colleagues as the repair form lists the symptoms vaguely as "screen erraticly jumps" which doesn't describe the problem accurately.
I will know within 2 weeks and post the results here. I am not holding my breath, though, as I think Sony has pointed out that the specialty feature of the ZU using a pencil to control the screen is produced by turning up the sensitivity of the touch screen. Kind of like Samsung Galaxy S4's feature of allowing users to use the touchscreen with gloves on. At least Galaxy users can turn the damn feature off!
Interestingly enough, while in the repair line I met another user who has a ZU and I asked if he had the same issues. He said no, he didn't have that issue at all.
Sony Taiwan sent it back to the repair shop stating they updated it to .475 and there shouldn't be any problems. Problem is, I already had updated it to .475 when I brought it in for repairs. Problem still exists and I have them send it back. If this doesn't improve I can only blame myself....should have bought a samsung!
Apparently Sony Taiwan refuses to offer any fix for this as they stated this "sensitivity" is needed for the pencil stylus feature.
Very unfortunate, very lame.
Anyone want to buy a 2 week old Sony ZU in Taiwan?
My new Xperia Z2 touch screen sensitivity seems to be too sensitive. I applied Sony Xperia Z2 Screen Protector GLAS.tR NANO SLIM and it is very good one. The problem is the screen registered finger hovering as a touch!! I don't even touch the screen, just hovering it, it seems to press by itself. By using Style Cover Stand SCR10 - Sony for Z2, it get even worse. The screen touches the cover while I am walking, sometimes it changes music and calls someone too. This is very hard to use. While I talk on the phone, the cover touches the number and sometime touches at End Call. I have checked the Glove mode, and it is always Turned off. I asked Xperia Care, they suggested that, I need to turn off the Glove Mode, and turn off, Double Tab to wake. I did them, but the issue is still occurred. I have updated firmware to the newest one, the problem is still occurred. Has anyone encounter the same issue as I have? If you have, can you solve it? if so how to do so?
Please help me.
Thank you very much
You could try going to settings > accessibility and then at the bottom change touch and hold delay to medium or long. Might make a difference.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. i will try it =]
Do you have ever have this issue before? i just wonder that, this over sensitive is due to the screen itself, or the glass protector

I've had it were I've accidentally exited apps or tapped on something by mistake as the screen was too sensitive. That setting seems to have made a difference though...unless I'm just more aware of the problem so make a conscious effort not to leave my fingers hovering over the screen. I've not tried the phone without a screen protector so can't say if this has made any difference or not.
Thank you very much =]
Well I've not notice an improvement with different screen protectors. Started with a Spigen antiglare one and have a Roxfit antifingerprint one on now. Same sensitivity.

Does it registers as a touch when you hovering your finger above home button / apps?
in my case, just hovering it, it registered as a touch =[

Yup it does unfortunately.
Do you have, by any chance, a third party launcher installed? My screen sensitivity was messed up with Nova Launcher, had to uninstall it.
Just dont :/

Hello, remove any laucher you have till new update of the firmware it will definitely bug your phone :/
I'm using stock launcher. Yeah I hope Sony fixes this with their next update - and hopefully they are aware of it.
Check you don't have "gloves mode" switched on. I had that on and I think it increases sensitivity so when hovering it registers. I've since turned it off and seems to work fine. Settings, display, glove mode.
Hope it helps

Hi, Have you tried with screen protector yet? do you have screen sensitivity issue like mine?
Thank you very much
Hey mate sorry I forgot to get back to you.
Yes I'm using the protector ans no, no issues at all. Everything's fine.
Hi - If I touch the screen *very* gently, it doesn't register as a touch.
Does anyone else have this? If your P9000 is OK, please let me know.
Most of the time it's OK, but it's extra annoying when I'm swiping a long word which gets split into two smaller words. I do have the screen protector on - Obviously I don't want to remove it just for testing, but I realise it might be affecting sensitivity.
Over the years I've had ~5 phones with capacitive touchscreens. This is the first I can touch without it the phone 'realising'.
Thanks, Richard
PS - I've enabled the 'Show touches' in Developer options. The accuracy is fine, it's just it's not quite sensitive enough.

i have similar problem because the glass folie is on the phone. Im sure because i used without too... but I rather use like this..
So the screen protector made your screen less sensitive?
What phone do you have? The Elephone P9000?

yes, i have glass screen protector on my p9000 and it makes the digitizer less sensitive..
Thanks NX82. That's good news and bad news !
I want to have a screen protector, but sometimes the phone doesn't recognise/acknowledge gentle taps on the screen.
I'll try one other screen protector, if that doesn't work, I'll ask Amazon to replace it.
Cheers, R.

Yes. my screen also less sensitive with the screen protector, but i dont want to scratch the phone, so i rather use with the screen protector.. for me the less sensitive areas are around the edges of the protector.. but i can live with this problem. I know if i remove it gonna be okay again.. maybe possible to put a thinner folie on the screen and thats gonna be better. the protector glass is a little bit thick. probably this is the problem.
I also experienced a reduction in sensitivity after applying a glass screen protector. Without it phone always reacted okay, but with my protector the first miliseconds of my touch aren't registered it seems. I have more trouble typing and sometimes swiping lags. I have adjusted my usage and can live with it now though.
Yes a screen protector can make it less sensitive. But all I did was download this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com
And then set it to super optimised and make sure it runs at boot and problem solved.

Hi - I tried that, it didn't make any difference... Unless it needs a reboot after changing the settings?
Did you use it on your Elephone?

Hmmmm... I've just tried reinstalling it.
No joy for me. Sensitivity is no different.
I set multipoints to maximum of 2 and rebooted but it's allowing 3.
I live in hope, though!

Hi. Yes I'm using it on my elephone p9000 right now. I didn't need a reboot tbh. So not sure. Could be a fiffy touchscreen you have in yours?
i installed this app too. i did not resatart the phone. maybe i feel a little difference, but hard to tell if it really helps or not. i have to use few days to tell its placebo or not

Well see how it goes and hopefully it does the trick. The p9000 glass isn't anything special. Don't want it to crack or scratch so we need something to protect it.
I have tried several touch calibrarion apps.
It seems like the restart is necessary to apply the new settings.
for me this application gave the best result:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=redpi.apps.touchscreencalibration
...and i still hoping its not just a placebo effect

same here : no effect
I have the same problem but all the above apps don't work for me. I will try to swap my screenprotector for another one tommorow. Hopefully this works.
I've found out/realised that the bottom of the phone is less sensitive than the top, so compare the top and bottom half of the screen.
The top of the screen is *almost* as sensitive as every previous smartphone I've owned or used (mainly Samsungs, HTCs and various iPhones). I can just touch the screen without it registering, but only just.
The bottom of the screen is a lot less sensitive. When selecting (tapping) things, it prob wouldn't be much of an issue, but when I Swype using the 'keyboard', I get dropped letters.
A screen protector reduces sensitivity further (a glass one more than a flexible plastic one, from my experience)

I changed my screen protector for one from gearbest. Now it's working like a charm!
