Confirming A Problem with Incomming Calls - Sony Xperia S! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

When I receive an incoming call into my sony xperia s,(while screen is locked) I can't seem to be able to unlock the screen , and the phone seems to be touch-wise not responsive! I noticed that sliding under the "slide-bar" will exactly work fine rather sliding your finger on the slide-bar itself! which is odd~!
Is this a calibration problem (and how to fix it) or this is a design problem and I have to "live" with it?
And , did anyone face the same problem , or I am the only one who is plaged with this?
thanks a lot in advance for any suggestion!

Waiting for reply guys...

It should not be a design problem. It could just be a bug.
You can try flashing an official firmware using Flashtool. If you don't want to lose the data then make sure you uncheck the option 'wipe user data'. This should solve the issue.
Or may be you can wait for some one to reply with a quick solution.

No there is no way to fix it, it's the software's fault..

same here, the touch stop to response when a incoming call sometimes. After few trys it answeara.
But every time it had happend my have my fingers been little dirty.

i have the same problem, i'm in vietnam, when incoming call, the answer slider is not respone some time, can anyone fix this (.73 firmware)

same to me !
(FW.67)

wow!
Didn't know that this is an actual "bug" which needs a fix, I thought I am the only one here!
Now how to report that to Sony?

Hy, With the test kernel 9008 and rom Ultimate Xperience i can slide call incoming with no bug.
But need a root!!!

yep, same here (.73)
And when it's finally unlocked, I have to say 2 times hello, because the first time the caller doesn't hear it.
But after that it's fine.

Yep I've noticed this also, thought I was just not pressing correctly.

Me too.
Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.

I'm using fourth device (was replacing due to the yellow tint issue) and none of the phone had such issue!

I have the same problem too.
It seems like sometimes the touch screen takes a second or two more to activate once screen lights up as an incoming call arrives.

Guys I also have this issue even when unlocking the screen from standby, i can even unlock the screen I need to press the power button and then again press the power button to bring the device alive and then I can unlock. When I receive a call I cant slide to receive it, I need to press the power button to put it in standby and then again press the power button to bring it alive and then I can slide to receive the call. But after that i can cut the call as the screen is unresponsive. Again i need to press the power button twice. Please help I dont want to hate my lovely Xperia S.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you tried to swipe a bit bellow the icons on the empty space? This works for me.

Same Problem with all of us? Where is SONY to hear that???
How Can We Get That To Their Ears?

Thank you sir..... it is very helpful!
I'll cover this app later on the Apps and Games Thread...
I liked the idea and the app. Even have used ez answer but that covered the quick sms reply.
Dont understand why it needs internet, GPS perms and also read sms/mms. If the developer explains that it would be nice.

actually the main idea of slide to answer thingy is to avoid unwanted recieving of call i mean .....our phone has a capacitive tuchscreen which responds to even smallest of our touch if we have a direct answer button then take a situation like for eg: m with my gf and doing naughty things with her and suddenly my dad calls me and bimistakely the direct answer button gets pressed the call will get recieved but i wud not be knowing tht.....so slide answer prevents tht from happening....so slide to answer is very beneficial at such kind of moments....lol

Interesting..I use the Home button to answer calls (Settings->Call settings->All calls->Answering call->Answering key->set this to ON).

That, and you can use the power off switch to end a call. Settings - Accessibility - tick power key ends calls.
Very useful for these reasons
1. Usually you have to wait for the proximity sensor to lightup the display then end a call.. in that time the person on the other end thinks i wanna talk more, or maybe he wants say something at the last moment and you cant hear it coz the phone is not on ur ear anymore (Coz ur waiting for the screen to light up)
2. The index finger is right on top of the power button when you are holding your fone, atleast mine is, so i can DC it instantly whn I am done talking. Samsung did some things right this is one of them
these two features (Recieve with home key & end with power key) has made life so easy!
I used this app, but I'd really like the HTC Call screen ported to the G3. Any way to do that?

hi
mee too buddy but what to do this is the closest we can get to that
i also have a tattoo(my wife is using it now) and it is real easy for me on that phone
I found these apps too laggy :/
The stock phone app pops up and after few second the buttons appear. I have plenty of time to answer with slides.
If there was a complete replacement it would be faster, but there is not...
HTC Call screen is awesome :L

While I like the app you mentioned,
you just sent me remembering a old days incident which happened with one of my close friend, i think it was around1998, incoming calls were Rs.8.40/min in India.
His father owned a bus service, he used to go to fill diesel and sign slips on petrol pump everyday, mostly with me and very occasionally alone.
One day when I was not along, he was bored so he went to university area, he located a few friends and was at tea shop, discussing everything from how cruel heart his father is, he sends him on bike on rainy days too, father has millions but will drive FIAT only, I hate these qualities, why can't I go by car to fuel the buses etc, oh my GF, she su**s me so hard and wild, I am flirting with a new girl and god knows what not, and to his BAD Luck, his ODD Motorola phone had his father's number saved in voicemail button which got activated.
To cut the story short (i can't stop laughing now), He was without food for 1 day, while Bike and cellphone were taken back for 6-7 days.
While this friend now owns a couple of Big Education centers, He still lives with his father, I am sure both may have forgotten that
So no way to port HTC Call screen to G3? Somebody PUH-LEEZ do it?!!

[Q] Softkey Problem

Hi there,
I´ve got a serious problem. You all should know this haptic feedback when pushing somewhere on the screen. Also there is this "click" tone for acoustic feedback.
Well, after using my Xperia Mini for a short time (reading emails, installing new apps, using some apps ect.) it starts vibrating and clicking. At first, it does it sometimes, but the longer I continue using my telephone, the more often it vibrates. Maximum number of haptic and acoustic feedbacks are 3-5 times PER SECOND!
The problem is: It seems, that the handy registrates a "touch" somewhere on the screen. It seems somewhere in the bottom field. When starting an app: vibration and the app is cloes. Composing a sms? Vibration and the text editor is closed. No matter what I try do use, it is closed anyway. But I can still navigate through the app menue. There is still vibrating and clicking, but no return to homescreen.
I am clueless and don´t know, what to do? Google could not solve this problem, customer service is even more stupid and replys a standard message. I resetted the phone back to factory settings. No improvement. I installed latest firmwareupdate 4.xxx.69. Still no improvement.
Does anyone of you know, what to do? Does anyone know the problem?
Thanks a lot for every suggestion.
Back and Menu buttons have haptic feedback. Xperia Mini or Mini Pro have had problems with this/these buttons. App closing is caused by that back button.
Check here, in general section, there is discussed about this issue(touch button sensitivity or something like that). In the topic is also a script to calibrate the buttons.
Hope it fixes your problem.

this is great, I´ll look for that solution and hope, this will fix the problem.

Strange bug : impossible to wake the phone when it's locked

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.

Problem with home button using JKay mod

I already tried to post this on JKays own thread but I have too few posts to post there. So here goes:
I have just 1 problem: I can't use home button to answer calls. I mean it answers the call but as soon as I answer the lockscreen goes on and if I want to use the ongoing call screen for something I have to unlock it first. This is really inconvenient since when I answer the call and the lockscreen goes on the proximity sensor doesn't work and the screen stays on unless I unlock the screen.
Maybe I just have a wrong setting, but I have tried everything and can't get it to work as it does without this mod.
Hope someone undestands something of my ramblings

Are you saying the vibrations stop working all together?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never mentioned vibrations!!!
I should have explained it a little better though
when you make or receive a call and you are on the phone the screen turns off and disables all button presses because the proximity sensor is covered
but even though the display is off and the sensor is covered you can still press buttons whilst on the phone
so far I have tried sending a text
cut people off
muted the phone
put the phone in to airplane mode
added events to my calendar
and more
all this with the side of my face while in a call

Happens to me too
For me it's sounds like Proximity sensor of Your Xperia Z2 isn't working. You can test it with apps, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=ja like this
Proximity sensor works fine the first thing I did was test it
Well.... I can't think about any other reason.... As soon as I find infos I will share
