I have an Xperia Sola having issues with the touch screen, basically it does not allow me to unlock it, I have to use the camera button and take a picture to do it, also, some parts of the screen are unresponsive some times, I read on the sony mobile official forum that this is supposed to be a firmware issue. Also when I try to personalize the screen like adding or removing widgets, you know you need to touch and hold until the widget options appears, that does not work, it will not recognize the touch hold, neither the touch flow works.
It appears the harware is perfectly fine, no screen issues like dead pixels or leaks.
Most people say they took it to the service center and they told them the phone was fine and updated the firmware.
The problem is that If I try to use the PC companion or the main sony website it says mine is using the latest version.
Even thou I reinstalled the official firmware, same issue.
My device is an Asian device, when you restore it, the menus are in chinese, So I'm assuming is a HK phone.
I live in Costa Rica and I know this device has a latin american version.
Does anyone has a firmware that is not the asian one for this phone, maybe I can try flashing another stock rom for this.
I will appreciate if someone can tell me what can this issue be.
Thanks.
And yes, I'm a noob and did not find any related topics about this issue in this site.

Xperia Sola
:screwy: Why so serious!!:screwy:
sola
hi,
me too is having the same issue.I live in India and many users here is also facing the same issue..There is no solid pointer to isolate if its a software or hardware issue.However there is a temporary solution to this problem and is testified by many people including me..all you need to do is keep the phone in direct sunlight for 5-10 minutes.It will work normal for couple of days depending on the ambient temperature and stuff.It will again recur ,all you need to do is sunbath it again
This is not a permanent solution..hope it helps
has anyone found the reason and permanent solution why this touch screen problem keeps happening again after few days ?
after giving the phone to service center has the problem reappeared for again ??

xperiA sola touch screen issue
i have some touch screen problem in my xperia sola
but whenever the upper part of phone screen dosent work i clean it with screen protector cloth and it works fine
screen become responsive without restarting the phone
i think screen protector might be the problem in your case.
thanks for the response. i do not think it's the screen protector because on every reset the touch screen works properly but stops working after five or ten minutes...i have a sony screen protector

Hi guys, my Hero encounter the touch screen doesn't work periodically, sometimes it became no response totally, after a few days ,it works well, I think this may be caused by the static electricity, Is there anyone have the same problem? do you guys have some methods to solve it ? Do I need to change a new touch screen?
well i droped mine today and now i have the same issue but the strange part is that i just had a replacement screen and there are no cracks or anything else, so you can't see that it felt out of my pocket.
Hello I had the same problem.
I installed several versions of Android and nbh files.
The problem occurred with versions nbh for Froy version of Android.
As I had saved the versions that were tested. I tried to install previous versions where I knew the touchscreen worked correctly. In my tests with this file to the touch screen work again: kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh
I hope that helped
when you say not working properly, what do you mean? the a and l letters on the keyboard dont register unless I press the screen really HARD. so that aria of the screen is unresponsive
what does one do with kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh?

I got the same problem!! whats the fix? screen replacement? cord lose? what what ?!?!?!!?
This has been discussed a milion times in the General forum.
Screen problems happen to a lot of Hero owners. Just send it to HTC fir a new screen. Don't forget to install an original ruu-rom on it.

I'm over the warranty. How can I fix it? does the screen need replacing? is the cord detached? whats the common issue of this happening? Whenever I touch my screen the notification bar drops down all the time.
i just purchased a old htc hero selling my spice mi300 i usualy get thr same problem in the lower part of thr screen may be i have to.just live with it as there is no warranty or insurance
I have had the same problem.
Mine is fixed within the warranty period.
But i have read something about failing Digitizers.
Maybe that's the problem?
See this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-595485.html
You can buy them at Ebay just look for HTC Hero digitizer.
Below you find a link to the service manual:
http://www.gizmostruction.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hero_Service_Manual.pdf
If your phone is out of warranty
Maybe you can fix it by yourself
i buyed a htc 7 mozart but i have some problems but only sometimes...
when i want to unlock the phone ..i swipe my finger from the botom to top but the scren moves only a little like i swaped only half of the screen
and when some 1 calls me ,again same problem..sometimes it work sometimes not
what is the problem ?
Same here
I and two friends have the same problem, the screen is slow to activate it seems.
it takes a couple of tries for the touch to react after turning the screen on, no matter if its from the normal "sleep", after talking on the phone, or when ever the screen has been turned off and then started in any way.
I had the problem before bot it dissapeared, and now it is back after i replaced my digitizer.
My friends phones have not been tampered with, and only one of them still has the problem.
Could problems with the proximity sensor and/or grounding be related to this problem?
Does anyone know what the reason for this delay is?
The same happens to me occasionally.
When it happens, slide the left side of the screen and works without problems after 5s, works well.
Its a problem that I hate very much.
Also another problem that happens when I open something and turn on the gps, I close the program and have a battery of abnormal wear.
Sorry bad english

I have the same problem, hardware, for one.OK.
Same goes for me! I think it should be hardware problem. As stated, we should always swipe the left side of the screen whenever we unlock!
Same problem here. Weird thing is that its only there for a couple of days... Maybe cause of all those updates lately? Anyone can comment if resetting to the factory defaults helps?
fixed it..
well ive updated the phone and since then it works.. amazing

The only solution that worked for me, is installing this rom:

from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857561

Hello, i bought xperia p in t-mobile, i had this problem from beginning, when someone was calling to me i couldnt answer, because screen didnt respond to touch, i could only push power button to end call and after this it worked, but this happened to me many times, which make this phone unusable. I debranded to soft 6.0.b.3.184, and the same problem occurs. I wanted to send this phone on warranty, but i didnt find t-mobile branded firmware(or it isn't needed for warranty?).
I had this brand before debranded:

I have the same annoying problem.
Same here. Actually, it happens quite often that the screen doesn't respond. Most of the time it can only be resolved by rebooting. I always thought that it was because I use a third party keyboard Swiftkey which was causing this.
I also have this problem and work out with the reboot (power + volume) as suggested [email protected]

I have the same problem, but I don't use Swiftkey so that's not the problem. I've already tryed some settings changes, reintstal system. Nothing helps.
Yes I have that problem sometimes...it can be a software bug...had yhe same problem in my arc in ICS...

I clesn the screen with cloth and it works fine.

I had the same problem with ICS, but i downgrade to GB. First I did the "sunbath", and works, but some apps started to crush. So I decided to go back to GB. Until now, it works flawless. I lose a couple of functions, but it's better than the "sunbath".
UPDATE1: After a couple of weeks the problem came back. Anybody, got a solution other than throw to the garbage the phone?
UPDATE2: Well, I really don't know what makes appears the touch screen problem again, but since I install GB, I got only once that the screen didn´t work and only for a short time. I've been using for a couple of days and I didn't have any trouble at all. I'm guessing that is like a bug software problem, but if someone find a final solution, please post it.
Hey!
Hey guys. I also have the same problem. My service test in touch screen was so terrible. Also behind delete button in keyboard. Lower part right side of the screen. What shall we do?
Additions.
Haha. I forgot the attchmnts
same problem
Same Problem here to.
Anyone know something about this problem?
Anybody got a workaround?
Thanks
Another one with the same problem, mine in the low right side of the screen. Im using the glove mode otherwise its impossible to use it. Somebody with JB, which disables glove mode, has resolve the problem??Im asking this because while its not responding, I restart the phone an enter CWM, and there, its responses perfectly.
So, somebody with this problem, has flashed the any port of JB and resolve this issue??
ok, I´ve tested with JB and it became more responsive but also having the problem.
I left the phone with direct sunligth and now it is ok WTF!!??
have you tried calibrating it? there's an app at the play store if i'm not mistaken..
I have tried everything but 1 thing worked. Sunbathing your sola will recalibrate touchscrren. I dont know how it work but it sure does the job. I'm afraid i have to sell my phone cause i dont want any problems. Now i'm using galaxy s3 mini

SunBathing Works!!!
Hi, Sunbathing really works as a last effort for Xperia Sola
It fixed mine and the time needed for your phone under the sun is approx..1 hour
Dont worry about the battery
Is it just my phone or is the touch screen a bit too sensitive? All I have to do is hover my finger over the screen and it registers a touch - which can get old when you're typing. I only noticed it today though. Anyone else?
Turn of glove mode
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk 2
same here, i also felt that it was very sensitive. i often accidently pressed something while scrolling - toggling glove mode did not really change a lot. got my nilkin tempered glass protector some days ago though, its perfect now with it
If you turn off glove mode, you have to touch screen to register, with glove mode on hovering your finger above screen is enough to register

That's the first thing I checked; glove mode is off. It was worse last night then it is this morning. About the only thing I did was flash back the .69 stock kernel to see if that made any difference. I know that between the rom and custom kernel, there are a number of customizations going on. (not insinuating anything about either - just trying to eliminate possibilities if this isn't by design). Plus I shot a mail off to Sony as I saw a few people on their support site mentioning the same thing.
OR I could just be OCD lol.

I know that's what it sounds like - but both of us have checked and glove mode was off. Anyway, I flashed the stock kernel (.69) last night and it's not so bad today. Whether there is any correlation w/ respect to that is another question.

I have the same problem as well since I opened the box ... And I definitely don't have glove mode on. This is the only complaint I have about the phone really. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
Possible solution
If this problem is still an issue: This seems to be a problem with most Sony devices snapdragon 800 and up. In the Xperia Z Ultra forum what we did to solve the issue was to root the device. Then use root Explorer then go to system>usr>idc>open "max1187x_touchscreen_" and change this line from "touch.filter.level = 2" to "touch.filter.level = 5". That's it. All that needs to be changed is one character. Seriously.... SMH Sony.

Problem still persists for me. Changed to 5, then rebooted, and i can still hover my finger and registers as a touch. I'm on Carbon though, is it stock rom only?
Edit: after a couple more reboots, it's working! Not too sensitive anymore. Can I change it down to 4 to make it more sensitive? Is it like a scale? But it did screw up some other things, xposed doesn't work now.. Will have to find out why.
Edit2: no I can still hover.. Maybe it was working, maybe it was placebo.

It is like a scale and 5 worked great for us. I don't know about anyone else but I did this on the stock rom. Maybe you could try 6 or 7? Definitely wasn't a placebo for me. I Couldn't even use both fingers on the screen at the same time without this mod. I just couldn't play games at all because everything would lean to one side just because of a little dirt or moisture. I could not even send messages and right now I'm typing this reply on my z ultra gpe.

Touch Screen issues #MotoXForce
Well I just got a Moto X Force ( Marshmallow 6.0) and I'm having an issue with the touch screen . It happens about 9-10 times a day . maybe more . and it's random from what I have noticed .Thing is , *sometimes* I would approach the icon of an app( or a button to click on a website) with my thumb/finger , and the touch is registered wihout even me actually physically touching the screen yet , not saying that something else opens up ,no, only that app opens up which I was about to , initially , but I'm pretty damn sure that a lot of times it has happened while my finger is still approaching the screen , I.e. hovering over the touch screen. Anyone here got that one ? Would be great if i can get some clue .
Thanks!!

Well , then , either its the firmare (Hopefully ) or that the screen is defective ( OMG Please no ) , will reset the phone a couple more times and see what comes up , maybe wait for an update from google on the software side , visiting a service center would be my last resort , people at the service centers in this country are more clueless than I am , they'd just try and wouldn't be able to do anything but damage my device further and wouldn't even claim they did it leaving me no choice other than to get a new phone , thanks for the concern tho !
Hi guys,
is this problem / random glove mode activated still exist on .575 ??
My Z2a (running on .575 MM ROM) still face this issue. Sad.
My devices is not rooted, so i can not try to edit screen-sensitivity related file.
This problem so annoying
