No friend, Now i moved in to GB but same result. I don't think this is a Sony ICS issue !!!.
Also when i unlock my phone, that time only i am seeing this issue. After unlock phone works normal.
Still are you facing this issue ?
yes, but most of time I can't swype, because touchscreen driver read it as click. Maybe we must go to service center. I know there is two types of touchscreen Sony and Sharp, maybe one of them is defective.
Very often I can't pick up the phone because of that bug. Also I see that pointer moves himselve.
"Bootloader unlock" may case of void company warranty !!!, what we can do now ?
If we get this mobile to them they will findout right ?
unfortunately, yes if your unlock your bootloader by official way.
I read on the sony.mobile that the replacement does not help with this issue.
Yes i did this by Sony way
What about you ?
I had the same issue when I was on stock GB. But after I stated using CM9 and now AOKP I don't have the issue!

i had the same issue for some times, now work normally. i haven't do anything.
i think is the digitizer that is faulty or another hardware problem because i try to wipe the phone standing on ICS, i try CM9 and GB but always the same.
at the moment i'm on stock ICS but seems ok.
crossing fingers....

Hello all,
I have a Sony Live Walkman WT19i currently on Gingerbread.
Randomly, when I'm making a call, the speakerphone gets activated... or sometimes it's the dialpad and then I hear my face touching numbers!
Is the proximity sensor not working properly on my phone, or is this a common bug?
Don't know if this happened while my phone had the original firmware WT19a - now it WT19i , it was the only way to root it.
Any feedback to repair this, avoid it or something?
i never had such proximity sensor problem.
eventough i flashed it many times.
repair using pc companion or claim for warranty.

Tried repairing with PC Companion, but it stops in the middle saying it can't continue.
Googled the cause that PC companion could do that, and there are many many reason... tried a lot of "fixes" to be able for it to do "the repair" (wich I heard fixed this issue for some guy) and had success with none of them.
well, if your phone still ''virgin'', then claim it to service center for warranty repair.

That's the other problem. My phone is far from "virgin" now.
I'll see what can I do.

whoops... what have you done to it so far?? maybe you can try a different kernel or flashing a ftf of another version of firmware to see what happens.
Edit: just remembered something useful, go to the phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#* this will take you to the service menu, select service tests and then proximity switch so it will tell you if it's working or not.

As far as to have installed just now ICS and rooted it. Bootloader is still locked, but won't be for so long hehe.

Tested it. It works, but it is *very* sensitive. If I move a little the phone within my ear, it will sense off. So I'll have to try to have it very still everytime I make call (I DO switch my phone a lot with my hand when talking).
Thanks a lot for your help. I see you're from Mexico? We could be having this conversation so much easier, ha!

Hello,
How did you adjust it? I can't find any option of configuration for that setting. Could you share how you could fix it?
Or maybe you meant it fixed with the custom ROM.. could be. I hope it's not a bug but shouldn't be fixed now that I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich? I wouldn't want to use a custom ROM
By the way, wich ROM do you use?
THANKS FOR YOUR INFO!

u r welcome!!
Know what i just found this.
Very interesting it seems it may actually be a hw related issue and maybe you will need to take it back. Still i am searching for another way to fix it if you don't want to.
how many cm needs proximity sensor to say that it works ok??
For me it about 1,5 cm and i often touch my screen when calling :/
Is there any SW solution? I'm using hybrom v16 custom rom now.
Hi guys.
I know, I'm a noob. I already tried to find something about my problem but I couldn't find nothing.
I would know if it is a hardware or software problem because if it is a hardware problem and I can't solve I send my phone to the warranty, but maybe I can solve this problem with the help of someone.
The problem is the camera focus: it doesn't work.
I have attached some photos that I have took some minutes ago.
Android's version is 4.0.3 but I think that isn't a firmware problem because I had before cyanogen nightly builds and I had the same problem. The phone didn't fall to the ground.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks of all.

I have flashed the kernel Siyah just now but nothing, the problem there is still present.
I don't understand if the focus is hardware or software.
Is there something that I can do? Am I alone with this problem? Is very strange.
EDIT: when I had cyanogenmod 9+syiah on my phone I already had this problem, I forgot when it appened first time.
Autofocus -> hardware.
Its the kernel
hi, same here.
solved the issue using sylah 3.3.3 old kernel.
I suppose it's related to the newest kernels + 4.04.
using the old one seem to solve the issue .
now I reverted back to 4.03 until someone solve this. dream kernel states they did but doesn't seem to work.

I found a guy with the same problem. He said me that probably is the "mini-engine" of the focus that doesn't work.
Now my question is: how long could samsung assistance be to fix it? One month?
Because I am seriously thinking to buy the back camera and fix it myself.

Im not sure if you can find one as they are scarce.A guy on here said he seen them for $120.I only saw one supplier selling for around $60,but they had no stock.
If you send your phone to Samsung it would have to be running stock firmware and they could have it for 1-10 weeks.
I have a spare camera here.I want to keep it,but if you are desperate I could sell it to you......

Really do you have one?
I ma interested but depends by the cost. I found one, new, for about 40€.
If you can get a new one for that price then buy it.You could email Samsung and ask what theyd charge to do the job so you get an accurate price.

If I were you I would claim warranty (on locked bootloader/unrooted)
my phone has exactly the same problem as yours, unfortunately all things including flash stock rom, unbricking using .ftf on the first aid thread, change kernel, none of those work
Have you tried using SUS(Sony Update Service? It's a really awesome program. Google it.

well in my case it's not actually a really blank screen, the screen is pretty dark it look likes it showing nothing but when you put it next to a very bright light like lamp, you could see that the phone is actually on and showing the lockscreen. i have try almost everything, Using SUS, Flashtool, changing kernel, i even relock my bootloaer, but still same. in the thread i make they told me that it is a hardware failure, i guess it is true, maybe due to overheating issue because after i google it some xperia ray user encounter the same problem, and what scares me that some of the user say that what broken is the motherboard, so there is no hope for the phone, but after i do some deep research, there still some little hope by changing the LCD, but the sparepart is still shipped. i hope after i change the LCD everything would be fine, since i have void the warranty, but if you still have your warranty, claim it, maybe you can get a clean new phone :good:

I also have the same problem but i fixed it. The problem is in the software itself and not the LCD Screen. I observed something At first when you install the software it works fine, but after you charge it on the first time, the problem occurs. I was using Real ICS r6 and also i have this problem in my xperia mini pro but i observed that the problem was in the software. the developer himself did something wrong he replaced the mini pro system with lww so i corrected it and it worked for me. so if you are using a custom rom, just contact the developer to fix it for you. HOPE I helped you.

Hi !
Need some help and some guidance from the members regarding a serious issue with my Xperia Sola
The main issue with my Xperia Sola is that the screen freezes 2 or 3 times a day on various situations like when i am browsing on the internet or just browsing thru menus and or even when i write a text message. A random freeze i can call it! The screen freezes and looks like when you're watching a 3D movie without glasses. it's a bit..i don't know the exact term to decribe it but looks exactly like i said. So, after that it becomes unresponsive and the only thing i can do is to restart the phone using up volume button + start button at the same time! Then, it's coming back to life and...i am waiting for the next **bleep** freeze again!
The phone is upgraded to the latest version of android 4.0 with the Latest available software: 6.1.1.B.1.54. I allready performed an repair thru the pc companion on my pc and also tried SUS but the problem is still there.
I don't know wether is a hardware issue or a software issue!
Any ideeas?
Thank you!
I am sorry. I guess this thread should of been posted in the Q&A Help section! My apologies. I am new!
Men, the. 54 FW is sooooooo buggy! :-/

This is Sony issue. They made this phone so buggy in both hardware and software that they just abandoned it (and whole novathor line excluding xperia go) after 9 months after premiere. I've tried multiple ROM's and tweaks, and still Sola is the worst android device I've ever used. Best thing you can do is just buy a phone which is not manufactured by Sony. Sorr dude.
hello, i have a problem with my xperia u, i cant text properly with it, some times the letter cant be pressed(im using the 3x4 keyboard not the qwerty, but even qwerty keyboard cant be pressed the letter sometimes). my girlfriend experienced it on her xperia u too 2months ago, but its under waranty that time so the service center did repair it successfully. but now my phone's waranty is already expired, we took it too service center too, but they did not succeed on repairing it, they said the touch screen must be replace. i dont want to think this way but i dont believe it because my girlfriend's phone has been repaired with a very similar problem, now i think that they said that to me so they can get more money if i will agree to them to replace the touch screen. does anyone know how to fix this? its different on other not responsive screen problem, i check the service test on touch screen and there is no broken line, its just hard to press sometimes on texting but there is no problem making a line. factory reset and repairing via PCC and SUS is not solving the problem(both on mine and on my girlfriend's phone when she is experiencing the problem) thank you very much in advance to everyone.
If it's a hardware problem no one here can help you fix it.
Lots of touchscreen problems woth U and Sola, I would think Sony should fix them free of charge.

actually i dont think that it is a hardware problem, because like what i've said, my girlfriend's phone experienced the exact problem that im encountering right now, and they fixed it with i dont know what they did but they didnt replace anything, meaning its only a software defect. if i was remembering it right, they are talking about software calibrate or something like that but im not so sure about it. maybe they dont want to fix it with free charge now thats why the saying that it is a hardware problem for me to pay. i really believe someon could help me here, i would be very thankful and im thanking now in advance.
